Today Jesus promises the next step. He will send us a paraclete, and advocate -- the Holy Spirit -- to continue his saving work.

BLESSING PRAYER OF SEEDS AT PLANTING TIME:
Lord of the harvest, you placed the gifts of creation in our hands and called us to till the earth and make it fruitful.

CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS:
The Catholic Home Mission Appeal provides funding to the global Archdiocese for Military Services, which sends approximately 300 active duty chaplains to offer Mass, sacraments, counselling and the comforts of faith to American Catholic soldiers and their families on 220 military bases around the world. Since 1998, this Catholic Home Mission Appeal has been a powerful expression of stewardship and our Catholic communion. Catholics from more prosperous parishes across America give generously to offer desperately needed help to the mission Church here at home. It is one practical way for parishes to be good stewards of God’s gifts and to make a difference.

SUSTAINING OUR FAITH-SECURING OUR FUTURE:
Those of you who are registered with St. James Parish received this week a bulletin about financial stewardship.

CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS:
Since 1998, the Catholic Home Missions Appeal has been a powerful expression of stewardship and our Catholic Communion. The Catholic Home Mission Appeal second collection will take place in next weekend. This Catholic Home Missions Appeal offers us a wonderful opportunity to help fellow Catholics practice their faith in such rugged mission areas such as Alaska, Appalachia, the Deep South, Rocky Mountain States, the Southwest, Puerto Rico and the island diocese in the Pacific and Caribbean. Over 95 cents of every dollar donated to the Appeal goes directly to the missions. Some dioceses are terribly short of priests, sisters and money needed to run parishes. There are only 70 priests in the whole state of Utah, 57 in Idaho, and 45 in Wyoming.
THE YEAR OF ST. PAUL:
The Year of St. Paul will being on June 28th. The central church for the Year of St. Paul's the Basilica of St. Paul Outside-the-Walls in Rome.

The St. Paul Corner appears in the North Country Catholic to prepare for the St. Paul Event.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER - VOCATIONS SUNDAY:
Today's Gospel reading from John is the parable of the good shepherd. Jesus relates to his followers that believing in him is in essence the same as the shepherd whose sheep recognize only his voice; there may be others who try to summon the sheep but they will run away in fear. With their shepherd, the sheep feel safe and secure. So, too, will we feel safe and secure with Jesus as our only shepherd.
VOCATION PRAYER
God our Father, You call us to share in the mission of the Church. We beg you, O God, that all those whom you are calling to serve in the harvest field of this diocese and beyond may heed Your voice and serve Your people in faithful love. May Your Holy Spirit empower them to respond with a willing and generous, “Yes.” We ask You to choose someone from this family to be a priest, sister or brother. We promise to support that person with our prayers and encouragement. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

VISIT OF POPE BENEDICT XVI:
Pope Benedict XVI will be visiting the United States April 15-20. He was born Joseph Alois Ratzinger in Marktl am Inn, Germany on April 16, 1927. In his youth he was exposed to the horrors of Nazi Germany. He received a doctorate in theology from the University of Munich in 1957. His lifelong passion for learning and teaching led him to serve as a professor of dogma and the history of dogmas at German universities for 26 years. He is one of the few Bishops now living who participated in the Second Vatican Council (1963-65). On April 19, 2005 he was elected the 265th Pope and the first German in 948 years. He adopted the name Benedict XVI in honor of St. Benedict, the founder of Western monasticism. The Church teaches that the Pope is the successor of St. Peter whom Jesus appointed as the first head of the Church (Mt 16:18). The Papacy is the oldest continuing institution in the world. EWTN will offer viewers unprecedented continuous television coverage of the entire visit of Pope Benedict. His itinerary is on the web site www.osv.com/papalvisit.
The one who has hope lives differently; the one who hopes has been granted the gift of new life.
