The Third Sunday of Easter
The readings this weekend offer important lessons about obedience to God, worship, and love. They remind us of the joy and responsibility that come with following Jesus. Today we see that the apostles stood firm in their faith when questioned by the high priest. They insisted on obeying God rather than men. Obedience to God requires great courage and trust. The apostles knew that following God might bring them suffering, but they chose to obey Him anyway. We face many situations where we must choose between obeying God or following the world. The apostles’ example encourages us to stand firm in our faith. By putting God first, we show our commitment to His will.

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for May
Let us pray that through work, each person might find fulfillment, families might be sustained in dignity, and that society might be humanized.
What is the Jubilee Year Indulgence? In celebration of the Jubilee Year 2025, under the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” the Holy Father, Pope Francis, has granted a special plenary indulgence to all faithful pilgrims who visit designated sanctuaries. A plenary indulgence is a special grace granted by the Church that removes all temporal punishment due to sins that have already been forgiven in confession
Conditions for Receiving the Jubilee Year Indulgence: To obtain the indulgence during the Jubilee Year 2025, pilgrims must fulfill the following spiritual and sacramental requirements:
- Make a pilgrimage to a designated holy site. In the Archdiocese of Mobile sites include the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the Carmelite Monastery, the Visitation Monastery and St. Margaret of Scotland in Foley.
- Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation within a few days of the pilgrimage.
- Participate in the Mass and receive the Holy Eucharist.
- Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, typically includes an Our Father, the Hail Mary and Glory Be.
- Have a detachment from sin, including venial sin.

Lord, as the Church enters this time of transition, we ask for the guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Pour forth Your wisdom upon the College of Cardinals as they gather to discern Your will for the successor to the Chair of St. Peter.
Grant them clarity of mind, purity of heart, and courage of spirit, that they may choose a shepherd after Your own heart, one who will lead Your flock with wisdom, holiness, and love.
May the new pope be a faithful witness to Your truth, a compassionate minister to all in need, and a unifying presence in our divided world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
