Christ is risen! He is truly risen! Alleluia!

As we celebrate this Easter season, may we renew our faith and allow the risen Lord to roll away the stones that keep us trapped in fear, discouragement, resentment, or hopelessness. May Christ lift our hearts and remind us that we are a people of resurrection, a people of hope, and a people called to live in the light.
With prayers and Easter blessings to you and your family, Rev. Fr. Rodrigo |

Lectio Divina
If you love truth, be a lover of silence. Silence, like the sunlight, will illuminate you in God.

Christian meditation is a form of prayer that entails the use of concentration, focusing on specific thoughts primarily using the holy scriptures that reflect on the revelations of God. It is a mid-level stage of spiritual exercise, which begins with vocal prayer and transitions to the higher level of contemplation. Traditionally, Lectio Divina has four separate steps: read; meditate; pray; contemplate. First a passage of scripture is read, then its meaning is reflected upon. This is followed by prayer and contemplation on the Word of God. Meditation is a movement from vocal prayer to SILENCE, which hopefully ends in 'divine union' as St. Teresa of Avila described 'contemplation'.

Prayer Chain Corner:
If you have a prayer request, you may send your request to Prayer Chain Coordinator Sherry Helsen at [email protected] or call Leonida Gondeiro at 406-277-4452.
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, not even if your whole world seems upset. If you find that you have wandered away from the shelter of God, lead your heart back to Him quietly and simply.

We are in need of Mass intentions. Your $10.00 suggested donation contributes to your own parish, and is a good way to honor the memory of those whom we love. Intentions can also be for a special intention; help with a personal problem; the salvation of souls; to receive a special grace; to overcome a particular sin; or for a particular apostolate or ministry, etc.

Prayer for the Protection of the Unborn
Heavenly Father, we come before you with humble hearts, seeking your guidance and strenth. We pray for the protection of the unborn and for wisdom for those in positions of authority. Grant us the courage to stand firm in our convictions and to be voices for the voiceless. May we always uphold the sanctity of life and strive to build a society that values and respects every human being.
Bless our families and bless our land, that we may have the joy of welcoming and nurturing the life of which You are the source and the Eternal Father.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Our diocese is asking us to pray the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after all Masses.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
