First Reading
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
1Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand, 2by which you are saved, if you hold it fast -- unless you believed in vain.  3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,  4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,  5and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.  6Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.  7Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.  8Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 19:2-5
1The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. 2Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. 3There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; 4yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 
Gospel
John 14:6-14
6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.  7If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him."  8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied."  9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, `Show us the Father'?  10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.  11Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.  12"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.  13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;  14if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Hi, I often tell people that genius is not so much talent as it is attitude… You see, your attitude is the environment you decide to carry with you during the day. It proclaims to the world what you think of yourself and indicates the sort of person you have made up your mind to be. A genius attitude is deciding that you can do well at anything you make up your mind to do. When you do that, you give the project all you’ve got, and in doing so, attract the favorable attention of others. Attitude is one of the most commonly used and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. However, if you understand what attitude really is, you’ll know how to bring the best of you to the surface every day... To your success, Bob Proctor Chairman & Co-Founder Proctor Gallagher Institute

Hi ELLEN, One day, a little boy spent the afternoon building a blanket fort in his bedroom, but he had nobody to play with. His mother was busy tending to the baby, and his father wasn’t home from work yet. When his father came home, the little boy ran up to him, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked him to come sit in the blanket fort. The father was tired from a hard and stressful day at work, and said no in a rather grumpy way. “Son, I’ve been working hard to make money all day. Don’t bother me right now, okay? I’m too tired to play.” Very disappointed, the boy went back to his room and sat quietly in his fort. Suddenly, he had an idea. He ran back to his father who was dozing on the couch. He shook his father’s arm and asked, “Daddy, how much money do you make in one hour?” The father was startled out of his slumber and none too happy about it. “Didn’t I ask you not to bother me?” he snapped. But the boy persisted. “Daddy, I really need to know. How much do you ...
