Halleujah. A Word on the Word recorded live at Saint Gregory the Great, the Diocese of Bridgeport - Connecticut USA. Our pastor is Father Angelo Arrando. We have the Homily, plus news from Saint Gregory the Great and the Vatican. Then we stand at the CROSSROAD, where generations meet, to reflect on the Word. We are so glad you could join us on the Road to Emmaus.
The readings for the Third Sunday of Easter are from the Acts of the Apostles, the first letter of Saint Peter and the Gospel according to Luke.

Warning: Beware of Phone Scam
There is a phone scam going on in the United States and in particular in our diocese. Someone may call from the Philippines, or Manila, about a variety of clergy from our diocese supposedly being stranded in Manila, OR that there is a Malaysian priest that is flying home for his Father's funeral in one of our parishes. THEY uses real names of local priests you know!!! The story is they need assistance. The scamers can call collect. Please do not accept the charges. Please do not give them any money.

Here is a word from Vatican Radio.
Our music this week is from The Donnie Terrell Band. Described as a very lucid dream this piece was written to describe what that felt like and is called Spirit Walking. This and more can be heard at GarageBand.com.
Our prayer this week is offered often by Father Angelo. This version was found at the Emmaus Days website, a vocations awareness program sponsored by the Diocese of Peoria.
"Lord, help me to want to be what you want me to be."
