Ranchi MLC Day Of Recollection
On March 28, the Family of Mary from Kolambi and Singhpur (NE India) had a day of recollection at the Novitiate House in Nirmal Deep. Fr. David Fleming SM and Fr. Santosh Tudu SM were the mentors and helped the Lay Marianists prepare to celebrate Easter. Our young novices made the atmosphere very prayerful and the music for the liturgy was especially moving. Members of the MLC thanked them and wished them Happy Easter. We offered special intentions for the MLC members across the world.

LET US PRAY:
In this Easter season, there is so much human suffering and tragedy throughout the world it may be hard to feel hopeful, to get beyond the horrible headlines of the bad news. May Jesus' life and suffering not be in vain but remind us that there is life after death and that we are all "worth it."
Perhaps today we can "pray the headlines."
-
 During Earth Week, may we remember that we share this planet with millions of God's children who barely survive day to day. May the choices we make be mindful of their worth and dignity. - For the 800+ people who died in the Mediterranean Sea trying to escape a life that felt intolerable. May world leaders find ways to change the politics of desperation.
- For the 147 Kenyans who were killed by terrorists at Garissa University on Holy Thursday. We pray for all the people Kenya, especially for the Christian communities persecuted by the senselessness of terrorism.
-
 For those killed by misguided police and for the conscientious police officers who risk their lives to protect us. - For those executed by the government in our name through the death penalty.
- For the 3 peaceful students who were killed in Chapel Hill. They were practicing Muslims, with especially graced hearts and promise.
- For ourselves and our children - that we not give up hope and remain strong in our efforts to make a positive difference in this hurting world.
