You Are Invited to a Special Teaching Mass!
On Wednesday evening, May 21, at 7pm, Fr. Pat & Dcn. Bob
will celebrate a special Teaching Mass during which they will
explain:
●
●
●
●
●
What is happening in every part of the Mass and why,
When we should begin preparing for Mass,
What we each should bring to this sacred celebration,
What we receive, and
What we are to do with what we receive when we are sent forth.
Even if you know all the answers, you will still learn more.
Do Not Miss This Very Special Mass!
Pastor’s Corner
Once on a beach about forty miles from Dublin a man
took a crate from the trunk of his car. In the crate were
homing pigeons. He opened the crate and released the
pigeons. They flew straight up into the air. But instead of
heading directly for Dublin which was their home, they
proceeded to fly in circles. Around and around they went.
What the pigeons were doing was finding their bearings. Once
they had found their bearing they would set off for home.
This homing instinct, which many birds possess, is an
almost miraculous thing. With some it seems to be an in-built
thing. But others, such as pigeons, have to be trained. The
basic requirement of training is to keep them in good health
so that they are capable of sustaining flight. Fog, snow, rain,
and adverse winds are some of the obstacles they have to
overcome.
We too have a homing instinct. God, who made us for
himself, has not left us rudderless. He has put a homing
instinct in us. This is a very subtle and fragile thing, since God
will never take away our freedom. It takes the form of an inner
restlessness and discontent. This restlessness, this
discontent, this longing, far from being a curse, is a blessing.
Just as the homing instinct doesn’t save the birds
from the necessity of having to struggle against the wind and
the rain, so faith doesn’t shield us from the hard knocks of life
and death. But what it does give us are bearings. It enables
us to live in a topsy-turvy world without getting lost or giving up
in despair. It assures us that we have a home to go to and
points us in that direction.
During the Last Supper when Jesus told the apostles
that he was leaving them, they were deeply distressed. But he
consoled them with these words, which are among the
loveliest words in the Gospel: “There are many dwelling places
in my Father’s House. I am going to prepare a place for you
and then I will come back and take you with me so that where
I am you also may be.”
These words mean that we have an eternal home to
go to where all our hopes will be fulfilled. But there remains
the question of how to get there.
If you are in a strange city and
ask directions, a person may say, “Go
straight down until you come to a stop
light. Turn right at the light …”
Sometimes the directions are so
complicated that you can’t remember
them. But you may be fortunate enough
to meet an exceptional person who says,
“Look, it’s a bit difficult to explain. Follow
me and I’ll show you the way.”
The way to God has confused and baffled many.
Some have gone hopelessly confused; others have become
lost. When Thomas asked Jesus, “Show us the Father,” Jesus
didn’t give him a lot of complicated directions. Instead he
said, “I am the Way.” What he was saying in effect was,
“Follow me and I will show you the way.”
Meanwhile in the Church we have a spiritual home,
built on the foundation stone of Christ. Here we have brothers
and sisters who accompany us on our journey to that other
home, our heavenly one.
Don’t you think God will recognize us when we return
home to him at the end of life’s journey? We are God’s
children. How can a parent forget their child!
Some News!
We are going to be assigned an additional priest for our
parish. His name is Fr. John Shetler, presently serving the
community of Holy Cross in Mesa. Fr. John will be going on
sabbatical when he completes his present assignment and then
will be joining us on Jan. 1st. I know you will join me in welcoming
Fr. John to Blessed Sacrament when the time comes!!
******
What was the vehicle of choice among the apostles?
(Here it comes …) A Honda …because they were all in one
Accord! (I heard that!!)
Have a great week, everyone. Say one for the parish
staff when you think of it.
God Bless! Fr. Pat
Reflection Corner
"I am the way, the truth, and the life," Jesus tells His disciples in today's Gospel reading from John. "No one comes to the
Father except through me." Our path has been made clear for us, and although we can see the reward at the end, we still must
look down at each step along that path in order to keep our footing. We can reach that reward, but only if we allow Jesus to guide
us every step of the way.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that the Word of God is a light for our path. We must assimilate it in faith
and prayer and put it into practice. This is how moral conscience is formed (CCC 1802). On this fifth Sunday of Easter, we should
remember that Christ cleared the most difficult path for us through His Passion and resurrection and now offers to take our hand
along the way
