The Spirit of the Risen Jesus is present in the midst of families locked behind doors of hurt, pain,
and resentment. Have the courage to believe His promise of peace. Choose to reach out and ask
Him for help if your marriage is strained. Take the first step toward forgiving the person who has
hurt you the most. Do not be unbelieving but believe.

333 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. The greatest love story
ever told is contained in the small white Host as Jesus becomes small in the Sacred Host to
increase His Divine Life in us. He becomes poor that He may make us rich with the abundance of
His grace. And at which only appears to be bread will burst forth one day in radiant splendor to
reveal the lovable features of Jesus Christ in glory. He will embrace you and thank you for all
eternity of loving Him on earth in the Blessed Sacrament and for making perpetual adoration possible by
your spending an hour with Him. (Fr. Martin Lucia, SS.CC.) Call Joie at 330-745-6852 or Lisa at 330-
620-2252 for your committed hour.
