MINISTRY MINUTES
The Bread of Life Discourse
Reflection ~ Robin Black-Rubenstein
During the weekday Masses leading up to this Sunday we
have been reading the Bread of Life teaching in the Gospel of
John. Unlike the other Gospels, John does not speak of the
institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper event but
speaks of Jesus’ love for his disciples and of service to each
other as exemplifies in his washing the feet of the Apostles.
John uses a time immediately following the miracle of the
loaves and fishes to teach us about the Lord’s gift of himself
in the Eucharist. (JN 6: 22-69)
I remember as a child playing Follow the Leader on the
playground at school. Different than Simon Says, we moved
all over the playground and simply imitated whoever was the
leader in the front. I liked this game because no one got
kicked out if you did the wrong thing, and everyone got a
chance to be the leader. There were no hard and fast rules.
There was a sense of freedom in the game even though you
were following and imitating someone else. However, it was
important to listen and to watch so that you knew what to do
and where to go. Who and what we follow in our lives makes
a difference. Today we can “follow” someone on twitter and
other social media apps. Even with that, who we follow can
make a difference on where we want to go in our lives.
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. We are reminded of the
blessings we receive when we follow Jesus. In the Gospel, the
writer John knows that the people he is writing for
understand what it means to be sheep following the shepherd.
The sheep follow the shepherd because the shepherd cares
for them and the sheep know they will be led to the good that
they need, such as food, water and safe places to roam. The
Good Shepard leads us to places where our spirits are fed and
our hearts can safely roam. Where does your heart roam
safely? Where can you go to hear God’s voice? If we listen
well and strive to imitate Jesus in our actions, we will find
many places where we feel secure and taken care of by our
Lord. Revelation 7:17 reminds us, “For the Lamb who is in
the center of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to
springs of life giving water, and God will wipe away every tear
from their eyes.”
After the miracle of the loaves and fishes the crowd follows
Jesus to Capernaum. While in the synagogue at Capernaum
our Lord teaches that the loaves and fishes and even the
manna that their ancestors ate during the Exodus filled only
their physical need and they would be hungry again. Jesus
said that his followers must eat his very flesh and drink his
very blood to fulfill their spiritual hunger and have eternal
life. The words he used, according to the Gospel of John,
were very graphic and specific about this requirement to eat
his flesh and drink his blood.
Several of his disciples no longer followed him after that
teaching because eating human flesh was forbidden by Jewish
law and their faith was not strong enough to see Jesus as the
Son of God nor could they anticipate partaking in the flesh
and blood of the risen and glorified Christ.
We are asked to believe exactly the same thing! We are asked
to believe that our receiving Holy Communion is, in fact,
eating the flesh and blood of our risen and glorified Lord.
We are asked to approach every reception of Holy
Communion with awe at receiving the body, blood, soul and
divinity of Jesus and entering into full communion with our
Lord. Think about it – pray about it – believe it!
Alleluia, He is risen, Alleluia!

Free Lunch Fridays
Date Change for May—The next date St. Boniface will
serve for Free Lunch Friday is Friday, May 6. Please note
this is not the usual schedule. Our June date will be Friday,

office with any questions or to volunteer.

WALK FIT— Outdoor Walk-fit has resumed. Come join us
on Mondays from 8:00-9:00 a.m. We begin with a short
prayer/reflection before walking outdoors. Meet in the lobby
of the church. Inclement weather cancels the walk.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
For the SAK (Serving Area Kids) program
SAK is a summer sack lunch program that serves youth in
Edwardsville. The area churches combine efforts to be at six
area locations every day during the summer months so that
children who are not receiving school lunch will be able to
have that meal. St. Boniface will serve on Fridays starting
when school is out for the summer until it begins again in the
fall (exact dates will follow soon). We need approximately 12
volunteers each Friday from St. Boniface from approximately
11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If we get enough people to volunteer
you would not need to serve every Friday. The lunches are
prepared at Immanuel UMC for distribution to the 6 area
locations. The program is also accepting donations either
monetary or snacks/drinks for the
lunches.
Please contact Robin Black-Rubenstein
at the parish office as soon as possible if
you would like to help with this
community effort. You can also email
at: [email protected].

Weekly Financial Report
Stewardship
It is not easy being Christian and Catholic in today’s world.
Our society, because of the critical nature of the media in
large part, tends to view people of faith and morals with
some distrust. That is a challenge for us.
Paul and Barnabas experience something similar in today’s
First Reading from the Acts of the Apostles. The people of
Antioch in Pisidia “expel (them) from the territory.” No one
likes or appreciates rejection. It is humiliating and
discouraging. There may be times in our own lives when we
follow firmly our Catholic beliefs and experience something
similar. However, like Paul and Barnabas, we need to become
even more determined in our desire to be a Disciple of the
Lord.
In their case, they moved on to Iconium and continued their
ministry and their message. In fact, Holy Scripture adds, “The
disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” We, too,
need to seek that joy and to understand that we have been
blessed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Blessed Mother
Teresa said, “Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to
accomplish great things on the condition that you believe
much more in His love than in your own weakness.” Like
Paul and Barnabas, and Mother Teresa, we need to seek and
utilize God’s strength.

Year-to-date scrip profit — $9,194.41
Scrip is a very easy fundraiser. Stop by the rolling cart in the
Plaza Lobby before or after Mass to purchase gift cards. We
have a large variety of cards on hand and there are many
more you can special order. Keep this in mind if you have a
big ticket item to purchase (i.e. computer, lawn mower, new
appliances). For example: $400 in Home Depot scrip brings
a net profit of $16.00.

Employer Matching Gift Programs
[email protected]
Scrip
4/10/2016
Many employers offer “Matching Gift” Programs to their
employees. This means that for every dollar that is donated
to a charitable organization, the employer will match it. So, if
a parishioner donates $50 to the church for the school, it
becomes a $100 donation! This is a wonderful way to
maximize your donations to St. Boniface Church for the
school. Please contact your Benefits office to find out if your
employer offers this wonderful opportunity! For those of you
already utilizing this program, THANK YOU!
Some of the companies that we are currently receiving
matching checks because of employee donations are:
Anheuser Busch
AT & T
