How to reverently receive
Holy Communion:
Those who receive Communion may receive either in the hand or on the tongue, and the decision
should be that of the individual receiving, not of the person distributing Communion.
If Communion is received in the hand, the hands should first of all be clean. If one is right handed the
left hand should rest upon the right. The host will then be laid in the palm of the left hand and
then taken by the right hand to the mouth. If one is left-handed this is reversed. It is not appropriate to reach out with the fingers and take the host
from the person distributing.
(USCCB.org - Prayer and Worship)
"No sin or crime is greater than God's mercy. The sacrifice of the Cross reveals that Christ's greatest desire is to forgive those with a repentant heart."

PRAYER
TO ST. JOSEPH
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen
4th Sunday of Easter – 2024 – (B)
One Flock, One Shepherd
A blessed Good Shepherd Sunday!
In the Gospel our Lord Jesus calls Himself the good shepherd. As a good shepherd He lays down his life for his sheep. A shepherd has one thing to do: Keep sheep safe. The safety and welfare of the flock is a shepherd's absolute number-one priority. This means that a shepherd must find good pasture for the sheep. He must lead them to safe water. He must make sure that they do not munch on poisonous plants. He must guard the flock against predators. He is the one who makes the ultimate sacrifice. He thinks more of the needs of the flock than his own.
Not only does he love us, but Christ also knows we belong to him. He says that He has other sheep that are not of this fold and that these sheep He also has to gather together: "I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So, there will be one flock, one shepherd."
This suggests our mission -- to announce the inclusive love of Christ and to reach out to all whom he loves. The Shepherd offers tender care for anybody who can receive it. He speaks to keep inviting and challenging all to come. And he will need all the help He can get to accomplish it.
There is one Good Shepherd, and it is Jesus Christ. We depend on him more than we rely on ourselves. As we thank Him for being the good shepherd, let us show our gratitude by taking up His challenge to be instruments in gathering His sheep into one flock under the one shepherd.
Mahalo Bishop Larry for being here this weekend for Confirmation!
We offer this prayer for you: Dear Lord, we thank You for the gift that bishops are to the church. We expecially thank you for the gift of Bishop Larry and all that he has done and continues to do for our church and Diocese. We ask You to bless all bishops as they carry out the work of leading Your Church. Amen!

National Eucharistic Revival Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb.
Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
Jesus living in the Eucharist,
come and live in me.
Jesus healing in the Eucharist,
come and heal me.
Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist,
come and suffer in me.
Jesus rising in the Eucharist,
come and rise to new life in me.
Jesus loving in the Eucharist,
come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world.
Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
Our Lady of Peace, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
St. Joseph, silent adorer of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
As part of our response for the Year of Eucharistic Revival, St. Joseph Church will offer Eucharistic Adoration on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 10:30am to 11:30 am.
Please plan to join us on May 12

Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help
Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on you. In my temptations, in my needs, I will never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. What a consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help. Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I confidently ask of you.
(Then say three Hail Marys).
What is the National Eucharistic Revival?
The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States to inspire and prepare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, united, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith. The Revival officially launched in June 2022, and its milestone event will be a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, IN, from July 17-21, 2024. The National Eucharistic Revival and National Eucharistic Congress are a direct response to the Holy Father’s call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 25).
This eucharistic movement seeks to bring together clergy, religious, laity, apostolates, movements, and parish and diocesan leaders to spur momentum, collaboration, and lasting impact for the renewal of the Catholic Church in the U.S. over the next three years. Each year will have a strategic focus for formation and missionary discipleship.
