A MAN
LIKE CHRIST
By: Danielle Koleniak
Ephesians 5:1-2 (NASB)
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you
and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacri¿ce to God as a fragrant aroma.”
If you had only one word to describe St. John XXIII Parishioner, Mike Reese, the ¿rst word that comes to
mind is, ‘Humble.’ The Pennsylvania transplant dedicates endless hours at Bishop Verot High School, teaching
Theology, while pouring into the lives of the students, faculty and staff. He somehow ¿nds time to occasionally
teach sessions in Adult Education at our Parish. The man isn’t just a teaching machine, he’s a great Man of God.
During Catholic Schools Week, Mike received a medal of high honor: “Christ the Teacher Award.”
Among teaching with joy, while challenging students, the award signi¿es service, patience, love, forgiveness and
kindness-- all the things that mirror the Character of Christ.
It’s evident we’re all a bunch of imperfect people living in a world with terrible drivers, bad cell service and
never-enough vacation time, but in the midst of all the things working against us, what if we all tried a little
harder to be more like Christ? Mike lays the complex concept, simply. He says, “It’s about progress, not
perfection.”
Now that’s do-able.

Like Christ, Cont.
Danielle Koleniak: For those who don’t
know you personally, how long have you
been teaching at Bishop Verot High School
and what has your experience in Catholic
Education been like?
Mike Reese: I’ve been teaching for 22 years
and this is my sixth year at Bishop Verot High
School. For my wife, Jane and I, it has been a
great experience. We left Pennsylvania, along
with the snow and ice, after the kids graduated
college. It was time to shift a little bit. I was a
High School Principal and decided I wanted to
go back to my Theology teaching roots. We came
down here, to Southwest Florida and I have been
at Bishop Verot High School ever since.
DK: It must have been a big change going
back into the classroom again?
MR: I saw both roles as Ministry, but for me, I
liked teaching more than being an administrator.
I ¿nd it much more life-giving to work with
kids—especially High School Juniors and
Seniors. I focus a lot of my attention on preparing
them for the next four years in college. For
example- how to maintain healthy relationships
and how to keep your head above water when
you ¿rst go out on your own.
DK: What is your goal when you’re in the
classroom with the students?
MR: Everything centers on relationships because
it’s something they understand. They all have
friendships, which have grown very important
to them. They also have the boyfriend/girlfriend
relationships, which they are learning a lot
about, as well. The core of what Christ is trying
to teach us is to have a relationship with Him
and a relationship with Him fuels and impacts
our relationships with everybody else. Christ
tells us, ‘If you say you love me, but you don’t
love your neighbor, then you’re a liar.” There’s a
connection there between others, ourselves and
our relationship with God. That’s the dynamic of
the Trinity. When we can really understand the
concept of, ‘I can really allow myself to be loved
by God and by other people, then I can be my
true self”—that’s when they can come into their
own personhood.
DK: Talk about the “Christ the Teacher
Award” and the meaning behind it.
MR: It’s a big event for Catholic Schools Week
and at the Mass. Throughout the years, the
school uses the week to acknowledge students,
faculty and the gift of Catholic Education for
families and communities. One of the ways
of recognizing a particular teacher is to say,
‘This teacher in our school community exhibits
Christ to students.’ This applies to service, being
available to students before and after school, and
| PAGE 3 |
approaching teaching with joy and happiness.
This teacher is someone who is just, accepting,
loving and at the same time challenges students
to do the right thing. That’s how this award
gets the name, ‘Christ the Teacher Award’. The
students nominate the teachers they think are
deserving of this award. A couple of teachers
are selected from the votes and then a group of
school of¿cials select the winner. At the end of
the Catholic Schools Week Mass, the selected
teacher is acknowledged. Their family is present,
they receive a plaque and given the rest of the
day off.
DK: Walk us through the moment when you
received the award.
MR: I had been nominated before. I knew
I was nominated along with two other staff
members. They are really good people and
well-deserving. We were at Mass when they
announced it. Bishop Verot had secretly invited
my wife. For me, it was an opportunity for all
teachers and administrators to see my wife- the
person who allows me to Àourish. I’ve learned
more about Christ’s love for me, trust, ¿delity,
forgiveness and acceptance from her. It was
nice to acknowledge her in front of the school
community. Many times students and faculty
don’t see the people who are behind the teacher.
You know, the people who help keep us sane
while we’re struggling and down. It was a good
day to acknowledge the other two teachers and
my wife. I really enjoyed it.
DK: What does it mean to you to be like
Christ?
MR: The two words I think of are LOVING
and SERVICE. We’re all broken and a work
in progress. We have to ask ourselves, ‘Can my
actions and choices demonstrate the kind of
love and respect Christ is calling us to?’ In my
mindset, I think of Christ as willing to love at any
cost and willing to be of service to other people.
If we’re doing that, we are headed in the right
direction- even imperfectly. It’s about progress,
not perfection.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a program for children ages 4 to 10 that
takes place each Sunday during the 9:15 & 11:15 Masses. After the
opening prayer, the children along with their Catechist move to the chapel to
hear and discuss the Sunday readings at a level they will understand. At the
offertory the children return to the assembly for the remainder of the Mass.
There is no registration required for Children’s Liturgy of the Word. While we
want this to be a fun and engaging time for the children, they are expected to
behave in an appropriate manner respectful to adults and to God’s House.
Please talk to your child about this before having them attend Children’s
Liturgy of the Word. Because this is a guided lesson, we ask that children
younger than age 4 do not attend. If you would like more information, or to be

Gospel ReÁections | Jack Conroy
Mark 9:2-10. The TransÀguration.
The position of this story in the entire Gospel of Mark is
interesting; the Àrst half of the Gospel ended at 8:30, when
Jesus asked who people said he was. Some said, “Elijah,”
some said “John the Baptist; Peter answered, “The Christ.”
There is the Àrst Passion prophecy, a story about Discipleship,
and then the TransÀguration, where Elijah appears again.
Recall that Elijah never died; he was taken directly into
heaven. (2 Kings 2:11). There was a tradition that the Day
of Judgment, when righteousness was restored, and the
Kingdom of God would be established on earth would occur
when Elijah returned. That Jesus was conversing with Elijah
and Moses suggests the two poles of Jesus’ ministry: the
immediacy of the Kingdom and the continuity with Torah. And
we have the grand afÀrmation from God as to exactly who
Jesus was! We have the same deÀnition of “sonship” here
and in the story of Isaac: in Greek, both sons were called
“agapetos,” or “Beloved.” And as Isaac was the source of
God’s People, so Jesus is the “Second Source.”

be committed to stewardship of time, talent and treasure. One
means of verifying participation is through the use of parish

How Can I Make My Pledge To The Campaign?
We cannot emphasize enough the concept of “equal sacrifice, not equal giving.” The word “sacrifice” appears 440 times throughout
the bible, underscoring its importance in our Catholic lives. In support of this Capital Campaign, each family is being asked to
prayerfully consider sacrificially pledging as much as possible.
Your fellow parishioners make up our volunteers. They will be contacting you in the coming weeks to discuss opportunities to make
your sacrificial pledge. We ask each family to take some time to speak with our campaign team, learn more about the goals of the
campaign, and clarify any questions or concerns you may have.

Pope: Don’t Let Meatless Fridays be SelÀsh, Soulless, Seafood Splurge
By: Carol Glatz of Religious News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Real fasting isn’t just restricting food
choices, it must also include cleansing the heart of all
selÀshness and making room in one’s life for those in need and
those who have sinned and need healing, Pope Francis said.
There might be someone who thinks, “Today is Friday, I can’t
eat meat, but I’m going to have a nice plate of seafood, a real
banquet,” which, while appearing to be an abstinence from
meat, is the sin of gluttony, the pope said.
Another person might say: “I am a great Catholic, Father,
I like it a lot. I always go to Mass every Sunday, I receive
Faith without concrete acts of charity is not only hypocritical,
“it is dead; what good is it?” he said, criticizing those who hide Communion,” to which, the pope said he would reply, “Great,

c
The pope’s homily was based on the day’s reading from the
Book of Isaiah in which God tells his people he does not care
for those who observe penance passively -- bowed “like a
reed,” lying quietly in a “sackcloth and ashes.”
“They are united: love toward God and love to your neighbor
are one, and if you want to practice real, not formal, penance,
you have to do it before God and also with your brother and
sister, your neighbor,” he said.
Instead, God says he desires to see his people crying out “fullthroated and unsparingly” against injustice and sin, “setting
free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread
with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless.”
In the reading, God also points out the hypocrisy of the faithful
who fast, but treat their workers badly and Àght and quarrel
with others.
The pope asked that during Lent people think about what
they can do for people who are in very difÀcult situations, for
example, to help “children and the elderly who don’t have the
possibility of being seen by a doctor.”
Pope Francis said Lent is about fulÀlling all commandments
both toward God and others, according to reports from
Vatican Radio and the Vatican newspaper.
Lent is not about the formal observance of “doing a little
whatever” and not eating meat on Fridays, while giving
oneself free reign to “grow in selÀshness, exploit others and
ignore the poor,” he said.
Perhaps they have to wait “eight hours to be seen and then
they give them an appointment for the week after,” he said.
“What will you do for these people? What will your Lent be like?”
He also asked people to make room in their hearts for those who
have sinned, those who “have made mistakes and are in jail.”
To those who may protest about associating with people who
have been imprisoned, the pope said, “He is in jail, but you
-- if you are not in jail, it is because the Lord helped you to not
fall.” Pray for them, he said, so that the Lord may help them
turn their lives around.
