Dear family members and friends, Love demands love. Jesus loves us and he demands love from us. It is very important to listen to what Jesus says: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” We cannot simply say in words that we love Jesus. The proof for our love is whether we keep His commandments. And to those who love Him and keep His commandments, Jesus promises to give them another Helper, the Holy Spirit.
Again, Jesus promises that He will not leave us as orphans, but He will come again to those who believe in Him and love Him. There will be a very close relation between the Father, Jesus and ourselves, a relation of indwelling love: Being in Jesus and Jesus being in the Father, we become one with the Father because the Father will love those who love Jesus. Amen
There will be a Vigil Mass on Wednesday at 6.30pm, and on Thursday Mass with St. Simon’s School at 1.30pm and a Solemn Mass at 7.00pm preceded by rosary in front of the grotto.

We close Mary’s month of May, the month particularly dedicated to our Marian devotion, by celebrating together on the solemnity of Mary, Mother of the Church. The rosary will be recited at 6.30pm with solemn Mass at 7.00pm concluding with an outdoor procession of Our Lady. All are welcome.
