This week we hear of Jesus standing there on the shore — but the disciples did not realize that it was Him. Makes me wonder why? I mean, here Jesus was standing right in front of them and they couldn‘t believe their eyes. It makes you wonder why. Didn‘t they hear the teachings of Jesus? Didn‘t they hear Jesus explain that ‗the son of man will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again?‘ So, why were they so surprised and unbelieving when Jesus appeared to them after the resurrection? According to John it was the moment when he broke bread and shared a meal that the penny dropped. Can‘t you hear them say ‗Ahhh!‘ ‗Ohh!‘ ‗Riiiiight!‘ ‗Of course!‘ ‗Why didn‘t I see that?‘ It took Jesus himself to unlock their minds; it took a revelation by God for the disciples to get it. Have you ever wondered why two people can look at nature and one sees the signature of God in it and starts praising the Maker, and the other sees nothing but a bunch of molecules caught in the cycle of evolution? Have you ever wondered why two people read the same scripture and one meets the living God and receives strength and peace and joy for every-day living and another sees nothing but a collection of ancient human writings? Fact is, that it takes an act of God, a special revelation to each one of us personally in order for us to see the light of God. Just like Jesus had to open the disciples‘ minds, God needs to open our minds, too, so we can understand. Opening our minds, of course, is the work of the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit. That‘s why we pray ‗Come Holy Spirit.‘ We need God to help us believe. The fact that we understand something of the mystery of God, is not rooted in any of our doing, it is rooted in God‘s grace alone. It is God who is doing the revealing of God‘s truths, it is not our natural intellect who understands. True Wisdom is not something we can obtain, we can‘t get it on our own - not even if we worked extremely hard and studied all there is to study. God‘s wisdom is not like earthly wisdom, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Anyone who teaches Religious Education knows this. You can teach all you want, but even the best curriculum will not cause any of those kids to learn and understand matters of faith. It has to be revealed by God. They have to have an experience of God in order to really understand. And that we can only pray for. If God gives understanding to whom God wills, is there anything we can do in the process of growing spiritually? Yes, I believe there is. We can be open, we can pray that God may open our minds. ‗Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.‘ What a wonderful prayer this is. Eagle Scout Project Altar server and youth group member Thomas Ham is a member of Boy Scout Troop 285 and is currently working on his Eagle Scout project. Thomas‘ project is to renovate the St. Barnabas Youth Group Room situated in St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School.

The approximate cost of this project is $1,650. Thomas is requesting donations of money and materials.

It‘s such a great history of the early Church. It tells us how the early followers had to live their lives and figure things out as they grew. Sometimes things were good and they added many followers along the way. Sometimes, things were not easy and as we see today, they were questioned and told to stop teaching in Jesus name. This seems so timely in our time now. We live in a society that does not want to hear the truth. Especially for our young Church. Our teens are living in a society where faith is attacked almost on a daily basis. This reading shows us how Peter and the apostles were able to stand strong in their faith and follow their faith. I think we can take a lot from that. Is there a part of our lives where we don‘t stand up for our faith like we should? We can do it in simple quiet ways, like becoming involved in parish activities or youth group. Maybe inviting a friend to come to church with us. If the disciples could do it during a time they might be martyred, I think we can do it as well! Have a blessed week! Peggy Youth Ministry meet a couple of times each month to play games and talk about different faith topics. We meet in the school cafeteria on Fridays. I hope you will join us! We will be going to the next Holy Hour/Dodgeball on Friday April 15th! RCIA At the Easter Vigil this year, Richard Hueglin was baptized, and Louis Romano, Yev Guyduy, Kevin Coons and Kasey Estey, were welcomed into full communion with the Catholic Church. They now enter the period of Mystagogy, a time to be welcomed into the daily activities of the church. Are You Considering Becoming Catholic? Are You A Catholic Interested In Being Confirmed?
