"Can you watch one hour with me?
These words were directed by Jesus to his apostles in the Garden of Gethsemane just before his betrayal and arrest and today they are directed to us. “Hour” signifies an amount of me.
Any amount of time given to adoration of our Eucharistic Jesus will change your life. Give yourself and Jesus the great gift of time spent together. Peace, stillness, time to rest and breathe in the quiet...breathe in the life-giving presence of God...it’s yours to experience!
Give 5, 10, 15 minutes or whatever your heart decides, to come to the Church between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will begin after the 12:00 p.m. Mass and will conclude with Benediction at 3:00 p.m.
Simply come and stay for awhile. We must assure that there is always someone in prayer during this time of Exposition. Make this a family time of prayer. Then blessings of being in the presence of our Eucharistic Lord are immeasurable, and all of us are in great need of quiet time with him.
Gospel Mk 14:12-16, 22-26
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"
He sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water.
Follow him.
Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there. “The disciples then went off, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said,"Take it; this is my body. “Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Stewardship Reflection
“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ...” – ROMANS 8:16-17
If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our inheritance, using our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to care for the Church that God has left to us?
