Home is Holy: Visit the Imprisoned
God gives us ways to help others through the
Corporal Works of Mercy. By doing small acts of
kindness with great love we are following Christ
and showing Mercy to those in need. The next
Corporal Work of Mercy is “Visit the
imprisoned.” Pray for prisoners. Support “Get on
the Bus,” a charity that brings children to visit
their parents in prison. Bring your children to visit people
“imprisoned” by loneliness, sickness, or old age. Get
involved in prison ministry, bringing the word of God to
those in prison.
First Communion Prep Begins in Grade 1
First Communion is a two year program that is usually

Gospel Recap: "Love Your Friends Despite
Their Flaws"
Jesus' challenge to all of us this week is for us to love one
another as he loved his first followers. As we learn more
about the apostles through the scriptures, we find that
Jesus' chosen 12 were far from perfect. The Gospel shows
Jesus constantly correcting them. He catches them
fighting with each other, ignoring hungry people who
need their help, and sending away sick people who need
healing. But in every instance Jesus stands by them. He
believes in their goodness and potential by coaxing and
urging them to become the best version of themselves. We
need to also gently challenge our friends to become better
people, while at the same time recognizing our own flaws.
If we feel safe with others who accept us unconditionally
yet also challenge our weaknesses, we are more likely to
change to become happier and holier people.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
May 1, 2016—Sixth Sunday of Easter
Gospel: John 14:23-29
Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep
my word, and my Father will love them, and we will
come to them and make our home with them.”
What difference has it made in your life when you
made a decision in accord with Jesus’ teachings?
Interested in Becoming Catholic
GROWING IN THE WORD: GOSPEL OF LUKE
Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic? Are you missing some of your sacraments, such as First
Communion or Confirmation? If you answered yes to either of
these, and would like to know more about RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) please call the Parish Office for more
information or email Misty at [email protected]. We will be having Inquiry Sessions on the following Sundays: May 1st, and
May 15th, 10:30 a.m. in the Parish Conference Room. Please
join us, this is an open invitation, no reservations needed.
The year 2016 places us in Year C of the Lectionary
Cycle with an emphasis on readings from the
Gospel of Luke. St. John Fisher is offering a 6-week
series on the Gospel of Luke starting Monday April
4th – May 9th. Come join us as we explore this
Gospel; one filled with colorful images of
compassion and gentleness. We will also have an
opportunity to study the motifs of diabolical forces,
the great reversal of rich and poor, and the schism
of those who reject Jesus’ teaching. Time: Monday
evenings: 7:00 pm-8:30 pm in the Auditorium.
Presenter, Misty Jesse, PhD, DMin. Newcomers and
drop-ins are always welcome!
Living the Paschal Mystery
Key words and phrases in today’s Gospel include: glorify, new
commandment, love, as I have loved you. (John 13:31-33a, 3435)
The “new commandment” Jesus gives is not simply to “love”
but to love as He has loved us. Jesus’ commandment to love
requires a new way of living: regard for the other without
counting the cost to ourselves. Jesus’ death simultaneously reveals the full measure of his love and his glory. Our death, dying to self, reveals the full measure of love for others and leads
us to share in Jesus’ glory.
The gospels tell us in many ways that love means self-sacrifice.
We live the paschal mystery only when our own lives emulate
the love of Jesus: giving one’s all for the sake of another. In
many human ways we already do this and could think of no
other way to act: most parents sacrifice plenty for their children, we readily respond to others’ tragedies with gifts of
money and service, we reach out to the perfect stranger on the
street who is in need. In so many ways we already act out of
the love that Jesus commands in this gospel. Perhaps this gospel flashback reminds us that we need only do the everyday
things we are already doing with new meaning: we share in
Jesus’ mission when we love. On the other hand, if an examination of our lives suggests that perhaps we are not as selfsacrificing as Jesus, than this gospel is an invitation to love
more completely. What is at stake is a share in Jesus’ everlasting life and glory.

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
Year of Mercy Pilgrimage
In today’s Gospel we return to the Last Supper to
hear Jesus’ new commandment to love one
another. Good stewards, as the recipients of God’s
unending love, take this commandment seriously.
Though we are reminded of his love throughout
the year, it is Jesus’ actions and words during the
feast of Passover that show us the extent of his
love and the way we too can live a life of
stewardship. Are we able to embrace this kind of
discipleship?
All are welcome to join a local pilgrimage on Saturday, May 7, to
commemorate the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Schedule: 2:00 pm
carpool departs SJF; 2:30-3:30 pm pilgrimage at Saint Anthony
Church, Long Beach. We will pray the Rosary as a group. 4:00
pm arrive back at SJF to allow participation in confession and
Mass. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Ratliff at
[email protected].
