Living Our Faith
Life goes on. We’ve all heard that saying. However, in today’s gospel, we learn that when we invite God to be a part of our lives, life goes on, but it isn’t ‘the same.’ Just as Jesus changed Peter’s fortune with catching fish that morning, we have an opportunity each day to allow God to work wonders in our lives. Like the nets that didn’t burst, Jesus assures us that he will equip us with what we need to follow him and help others do the same. As we continue in this Easter season, why not look for the loving bystander on the shore and see what wonders he may have in store for you?
Viviendo Nuestra Fe
La vida sigue. Todos hemos oído esa expresión. Sin embargo, en el evangelio de hoy aprendemos que cuando invitamos a Dios en nuestra vida, la vida sigue pero ya no es igual. Así como Jesús transformó la manera que Pedro pescaba los peces esa mañana, nosotros también tenemos la oportunidad cada día de permitir que Dios trabaje maravillas en nuestras vidas. Así como las redes que nos se reventaron, Jesús nos asegura que nos dará lo que necesitamos para seguirlo y ayudar a otros hacer lo mismo. Durante esta temporada de Pascua, busque al ser amoroso parado en la orilla del mar para ver que maravillas tiene para usted.

ANNouNcemeNts THE SHROUD OF TURIN is
the most analyzed artifact in the world, yet remains a mystery! Join us for Shroud Encounter at St. Louis on Thursday and Friday, April 21-22 at 7:00pm for a fascinating, in-depth presentation by international shroud expert, Russ Breault. The presentation is a fast moving, big-screen experience, using over 200 images covering all aspects of Shroud research. Mr. Breault has been featured in several national documentaries seen on CBS, History Channel, Discovery and EWTN. He will take us on a CSI-type examination of the facts that are known about the Shroud, believed by many to be the actual burial shroud of Jesus. A 14-foot long replica will be present and Shroud Encounter will cover all aspects of the history, science, art and theories of how the image may have been formed! Don’t miss this free presentation, open to the public. Each night’s program is identical, so you need attend only one.
