St. John wants us to be active in our faith and love for God our Father. He also asks us to be true to our God because he loves us and he knows everything. If we obey his commandments, we will abide in him and he will abide in us.Second Reading: Ephesians 2:1 - 10 (Lebanese):
In this reading, St. Paul explains that we were all slaves to our sins. God, in his merciful love, saved us by sending his only Son who died for us. We are born and saved to glorify the Lord in our shining faith and love to one another.Gospel: Mark, 16: 15 - 18 (English & Lebanese):
Jesus sent his disciples into the whole world to proclaim the Gospel to everyone. He sent his Holy Spirit to accompany them. By the power of his Spirit, they will be to drive out demons, heal the sick and speak new languages.Last Week's Collection

St. Rita of Cascia (1381 - 1457)
May 22Born at Roccaporena near Spoleto, italy, of elderly parents, she was married against her will when she was twelve, had two sons, and after eighteen year of an unhappy marriage, her husband who had treated her cruelly, was killed in a brawl. When her two sons died, she tried to enter the Augustinians at Cascia three times but was refused each time, as its rule permitted only virgins, but was finally allowed to become a nun there in 1413. She became known for her austerities, penance, and concern for others, and brought many back to their religion with her prayers. She experienced visions and in 1441 suffered a seemingly thorn-induced wound on her forehead after hearing a sermon on the crown of thorns. Several miracles were attributed to her after her death on May 22 at Cascia. She was canonized in 1900 and is venerated as the Saint of desperate causes.
