A volunteer may be able to help! Life Teen Parents - Please forward this to your Alumni children! Thank you! LIFE TEEN EVENT!! We haven't forgotten our Benton County Life Teen Alumni during this Quarantine! Some current teens and alumni are planning an EPIC reunion for Sunday, May 17 at 7:00 pm. This reunion is open to anyone who was a BCLT teen, Core Member, or chaperone in the last 10 years. We can't wait to hear from you and know where you are now. Current teens and 2020 Seniors are also welcome to join in the fun! Please RSVP to mlohmuller2012@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link. If this online event is successful, we may start holding annual (in-person) reunions in the future! LIFE TEEN: After reflection and feedback, we are going to take a break from Sunday Zoom calls in the month of May. We do still plan to meet on Thursdays at 7:30 pm for "Reflection on the Readings" where we read and discuss the Word we will hear during Sunday Mass. Our first try at this reflection was a huge success! Please encourage your teens to join us next week. If your family would like to continue using some sort of faith building on Sunday evenings, we welcome you to still tune into ProjectYM Live or try out the Life Teen Global Life Nights. The Life Teen option airs live at 5:00 pm EST, but you may be able to watch the replay on YouTube. See the links provided to access the broadcasts. The Core Team will be stepping back our communications on Sunday evenings unless the teens request it. Lastly, continue to encourage your teens to send and respond to their Pen Pals. From our "Roses and Thorns" sharing over Zoom, it is evident that this communication brightens up the recipient's day (no matter who it is)! It's also encouraging to see how many people are receiving mail as we keep going into this quarantine. If your teen needs more stamps and/or envelopes to continue their correspondence, please let us know and we can arrange a drop off. We pray for your healthy and safety! Benton County Life Teen FIRST COMMUNION & CONFIRMATION- TO BE RE-SCHEDULED AT A LATER DATE. PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR UPDATES. HERE ARE SOME GREAT RESOURCES DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME: PADRE PIO At a moment of worldwide anxiety and uncertainty, nothing matters more than prayer. “Prayer is the best weapon we have,” Padre Pio once said. “It is the key to God’s heart.” With this in mind, the Saint Pio Foundation is privileged to offer an extraordinary opportunity for all of us to join our hearts in prayer during this time of pandemic. Starting from Monday, April 6 — near the start of Holy Week and on the six-year anniversary of the founding of the Saint Pio Foundation — and until May 1, 2020, we are launching a dedicated web page that will offer the opportunity to pray the rosary virtually, in the presence of the relics of Padre Pio. Sign up to a new OSV daily newsletter called "Keeping the Faith Amid COVID-19".

We pray for all those who have been affected by COVID-19 (Coronavirus), for their healing and comfort, and for strength and peace for their families. We pray for those who have passed away because of the virus and those who mourn for them. We pray for health care workers, first responders, all who are and will offer compassionate service and healing in the days and weeks to come. We pray for those who are working to contain the spread of the virus. We pray for our local and national health care and government officials as we continue to rely on their prudence and good judgement. We pray for those who face economic adversity due to the virus, especially those who may lose much-needed pay or even lose a job. And, we pray for those who suffer anxiety, fear and loneliness. May they feel God’s embrace! O God, Grant America the grace of conversion through the intersession of the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary before it is too late. O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen. O Mary, full of grace, Patroness of this nation and Mother of the Church, in this time of illness and worldwide need we seek your intercession for the human family before your Son’s throne of grace and mercy. We ask for strength in adversity, health in weakness, and comfort in sorrow. Help us, O Blessed Mother, to be filled with confidence and trust in the tender compassion of our God. Let us not be afraid. Continue to watch over all who are sick as well as those who care for them and give wisdom to all who are seeking a cure. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana. Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness. For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust. In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts. We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
