The disciples on the road to Emmaus walked and
talked with Jesus all day long, but it was not until
He blessed and broke bread with them that they
recognized Him. What if they had not invited Him
to stay with them? In offering their time and hospitality they were given the opportunity to see that
Jesus was with them. Our simple acts of generosity
towards others are opportunities to reveal the presence of Christ in our midst.

3rd Sunday of Easter:
Lord, Jesus, sometimes our
lives are filled with sadness and hurt. When our hearts are
gripped with pain, when we lose our perspective and faith,
when we lose confidence, be our companion. When what we
live seems senseless and oppressive, be the voice that resounds in our hearts.
3e dimanche de Pâques:
Seigneur Jésus, les événements que nous vivons sont parfois chargés de tristesse et
de peine. Quand une profonde douleur nous serre le cœur et
nous bouleverse, quand nous perdons nos illusions et que fuit
notre espoir, quand la déception nous empêche d’avancer et
que la confiance n’y est plus, sois notre compagnon de route.
Seigneur Jésus, les événements que nous vivons semblent
parfois n’avoir aucun sens. Quand nos repères disparaissent,
quand nos valeurs ne parviennent plus à baliser nos vies,
quand nos échecs assombrissent l’avenir, sois la Parole qui
éclaire et réchauffe nos cœurs.

St. Peter’s Seminary Parish Appeal:
Once
every year, St. Peter’s Seminary makes an appeal to the parishioners of the Diocese of London. It was parishioners
who made the Seminary a reality nearly a century ago, in
1912. Since then, generations of parishioners have supported
the Seminary through prayer and financial donations. The
Seminary continues its important mission, and needs our
help.
This year’s St. Peter’s Seminary Parish Appeal will take
place on the weekend of May 14/15 to coincide with the
World Day of Prayer for Vocations. In the weeks ahead,
please reflect on the importance of St. Peter’s Seminary as a
source of formation and education for priests, Permanent
Deacons, lay ministers and others.
On the weekend of May 14/15, you will find an appeal brochure and donation envelope in the bulletin. Please open
your heart to its messages and give as generously as you can.
Whether or not you can give financially, we encourage you
to pray for vocations.
L’appel de fonds...pour le séminaire Saint-Peter.
Une fois l’an, le séminaire Saint-Peter lance un appel aux
paroissiens et paroissiennes du diocèse de London. Ce sont
les paroissiens et paroissiennes qui ont rendu le séminaire
possible en 1912, et, depuis, des générations de paroissiens et
paroissiennes ont soutenu le séminaire de leurs prières et de
leurs dons. Cette année, plus que jamais, le séminaire a besoin que nous entendions son appel à l’aide.
Cette année, l’appel de fonds annuel au paroisses en faveur
du séminaire Saint-Peter aura lieu la fin de semaine du 14/15
mai, Journée mondiale de prières pour les vocations. Au
cours des semaines à venir, veuillez réfléchir à l’importance
du séminaire Saint-Peter en tant que source de formation et
d’éducation pour les prêtres, les diacres permanents, les laïques engagés dans la pastorale, et l’ensemble du personnel
de la paroisse.
La fin de semaine du 14/15 mai, vous trouverez une brochure
et une enveloppe dans le bulletin paroissial. Veuillez ouvrir
votre cœur à ces messages et donner aussi généreusement
que vous pouvez. Que vous puissiez ou non donne financièrement, nous vous encourageons à prier pour les vocations.
Lottery Tickets:
Please return all SOLD tickets to
the parish office A.S.A.P. Only 3 weeks to the big draw!
Veuillez svp...retourner
vos billets de loterie vendus
au bureau paroissial, le plutôt possible. Il reste seulement

Web site Update:
I have been working on
the website this past week. You will see the ‘new
look’ if you search www.visitation.dol.ca . I will
be able to ‘copy’ most of the work that was previously done,
so it should not take too long to build it up. Although all the
headings are in English, I am attempting to add the French
information on each page. At least the bulletin is back on
line! Thanks for your patience.
