If You Love Me…
In law, there is a Latin term, “Quid pro quo” meaning something given or received for something else; one
thing in return for another. We are used to doing things and in return expect something for our efforts. To some
degree, our work ethic helps us go above and beyond and we may still look for some type of reward. How is that
some give beyond their understanding and rationale? Is there really such a way of life as giving all we can to
helping others? No expectations, no rewards other than the joy of the one who receives?
Once there was a little boy who fell in love with a beautiful puppy at the pet shop. A large sign in the store
window stated, “Puppies For Sale.” After weeks of going by the store and seeing no one had purchased this
particular puppy, the little boy asked “How much does he cost?” To the boy’s amazement, the store owner said,
“$30.00.” The little boy quickly pulled out $2.37 from his pocket and said, “I’ll take him!” The store owner could
see the joy and hope in this boy’s eyes and did not want to crush this poor child. The store owner said, “Let’s
make a deal?” It turns out the puppy has hip problems and will limp around and not be able to run fast or jump for
the rest of its life. The boy quickly said, “This little puppy is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll
pay full price!” The boy went on to say, “I'll give you $2.37 now and $2.00 a month until I have him paid for." The
store owner kept insisting there be a “deal” or “one thing in return for another.” Sounds like Quid pro quo to me?
To the storeowner’s surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted,
crippled left leg supported by a large metal brace. He looked up at the storeowner and softly replied, "Well, I don't
run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands." Unconditional love expects nothing
in return. This little boy knows more about relationships than many. We often look at relationships as conditional.
True love is not! The little boy could only see what was “right” with the puppy. As noted in I Peter, “Always be
ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.” Many times people place all
kinds of conditions, a type of laundry list to be checked off before we allow ourselves to love. We decide if the
costs are too high. Yet, this little boy knew the freeing state of unconditionally loving this little puppy. He knew the
redemption of the “Spirit of Truth.”
I am learning through my five kids and others in my life that true love is not just an emotion, but a spiritual
state. As my Mom used to say to me, “Johnny, I just had to learn to love you more, especially during those teen
years!” If we learn to love unconditionally, regardless of what our loved ones do, we still love them no matter the
obstacle. John’s Gospel instills in us to embrace God’s love. We clearly see, just as the little boy who bought the
crippled puppy could recognize, that we are loved by God and the grace that you are loved by God and God lives
in you allows this love to be eternal.
God bless and love you always,
John Fay

I am once again reaching out to our very generous parish community for help in reaching our
collection budget for the current fiscal year. During the past several years, we have struggled with
this issue. Let’s all join together and eliminate this issue now, so that we can make the best
financial decisions possible for the new fiscal year beginning July 1.
We are stewards of our parish home...please help now.

Thanks to the vision of our first pastor, Father Haarth,
Sacred Heart parish has its own cemetery, a small
place of great peace and beauty. In 1937 a parish
historian noted that “More than once he (Father
Haarth) personally dug the grave for the interment of
a parishioner whose family could not afford the expense
of the grave digger”. Father Haarth is buried there.
A visit to the cemetery is like a scene from Thornton
Wilder’s play Our Town. Stories can be read upon the
gravestones, people who have shaped our history are laid
to rest there, old friends, precious young children,
beloved family members.
Join us for a beautiful liturgy to celebrate not only the
lives of all who are at peace there, but all our beloved
dead.
