Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, May 31, 2026
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only sun…” (John 3:16) Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have to pay to receive your love and forgiveness? Are you generous with your time, skills, money and possession? If you give someone something, do you expect something in return? Do you give your time freely or do you “fit it in” when it’s convenient for you? God desires a personal relationship with us so much that He gave us His Son, unconditionally! Pray for a grateful an generous heart.

Do Something Beautiful for God – The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
May 29 – We are here to be witnesses of love and to celebrate life, because life has been created in the image of God. Life is to love and to be loved. That’s why we all must take a strong stand so that no child-boy or girl-will be rejected or unloved. Every child is a sign of God’s love.
May 30 – Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
May 31 – Every day is a preparation for death. By realizing this, it helps somehow, because we each must die a little each day. Death is nothing except going back to Him, where He is and where we belong.
June 1 – One man told me: “I am an atheist,” but he spoke so beautifully about love. Mother told me: “You cannot be an atheist if you speak so beautifully about love.” Where there is love, there is God. God is love.
June 2 – If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you must cut out all other things.
June 3 – Let us offer everything to Jesus-every sorrow, humiliation, discomfort. In this way, you too, can take your stand at the foot of the Cross with Mary, our mother.
June 4 – Mary allowed God to take possession of her life by her purity, her humility, and her faithful love. She did it so beautifully. Let us seek to grow, under the guidance of our Heavenly Mother, in these three important interior attitudes of the soul that delight the heart of God and enable Him to unite Himself to us.
