In today’s reading we hear something very profound in both the second reading and in the Gospel; “God is love.” This seems to be a very simple statement but it is packed with meaning. We are not just being told that love is an attribute of God but that the very definition of God is love.
El amor puede proporcionar alegría entre una familia, una pareja, los entrañables amigos, compañeros de trabajo y si todo se realiza con amor la vida nos regala muchas bendiciones. El amor es una construcción inteligente de dos personas sabias, que deciden ser amigos, compañeros, cómplices y colaboradores los unos de los otros.
When: Friday May 10, 2024.
Where: Plantation Preserve Golf Course.

“Florida Voters be warned: Amendment 4 would enshrine abortion through all trimesters in our state’s constitution and eliminate all laws that even modestly affect abortion including parental consent laws, informed consent laws, and other safety regulations that protect women seeking an abortion. It goes too far for even most people who consider themselves to be pro-choice, creating loopholes that will allow for abortions in the second and third trimesters,” said Sara Johnson, Florida Voters Against Extremism’s Statewide Grassroots Director.
Amendment 4 doesn’t tell voters that it fails to define key terms like “viability” or “patient’s health” – leaving it up to a so-called “healthcare provider” to make all of these critical determinations. That’s how Amendment 4 would allow late-term abortions, when a baby is capable of feeling pain, with no protections for the baby. Then, most outrageously, it doesn’t tell voters that a “healthcare provider” doesn’t have to be an actual medical doctor but could be any person from a long list of health-related fields, even a non-medical employee of an abortion clinic.
Florida voters looking for more information or ways they can help defeat Amendment 4 should visit www.TooExtreme4FL.com.

Please remember to designate Saint Gregory Church as your Parish. Thank you.
Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.”
This teaching was so shocking that many of his followers left at that moment! Jesus did not call them back to clarify, because he knew they understood correctly. He was actually telling them to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
As Catholics, we believe Jesus’ words literally, not symbolically. The substance of the bread and wine transform into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ at every Mass. We call this miracle the Eucharist.
It's an exciting time to be Catholic! The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to the Eucharist: The greatest gift God has ever given to humanity and the very source of our strength. Encounter the reality of the Real Presence, and fall in love with your faith like never before.
