May 31, 2015 - St. Francis of Assisi Parish
Welcome to… • May 31, 2015 Most Holy Trinity . St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Manitowoc From the Pastor A cute little girl was holding two apples, one on each hand. Her mom came in and softly asked her daughter with a smile, “Sweetie, could you give Mommy one of your apples?” The girl looked at her mother for a few seconds, then suddenly took a bite of one of the apples; then, just as quickly, she took a bite of the other one. The mom felt the smile on her face freeze and tried hard not to show her disappointment. Then her daughter soon handed her one of the bitten apples and said, “Here you are Mommy, this is the sweeter one!” When I was ordained forty years ago June 1, it wasn’t all sweetness that was handed to me. And while I was not promised all sweetness either, in my naïveté, I kind of suspected that it would be. Now, as I look back, much of the sweetness as well as the not-so-much were in large part due to my own choices. Those of you who have come to celebrate with me today (and those who are with me in spirit from a distance) represent all the grace that has come to me from relationships that God has invited me to form. Every one of you has been sent into my life to reveal a unique dimension of the vastness that is God. For that I am eternally grateful. You remind me daily that God has not only handed me an apple, but an orchard. The blessings far outweigh the challenges; the joys far surpass the disappointments. The feast of the Trinity reminds us this weekend that even God exists in relationship; the very being of God exists because of love that is shared. To encounter that God, then, is to allow myself to both love and be loved, to share myself and let others in. May all of us continue to do that—creating and building up the Church into a true community of disciples, so that God will be praised and we will know the sweetness of God’s love in our every day! Thanks again to those who have supported me on the journey of these forty years. While I have thought that I had entered the Promised Land many years ago, I may be just entering now after forty years of wandering. Whichever is the case, know that I am profoundly grateful that I have never wandered alone, not for one moment, thanks to all of you. And just as an aside, when I was ordained on June 1, 1975, at Holy Name Church in Kimberly, it was a sunny, 79-degree day. Bishop Wycislo ordained me; Pope Paul VI was in Rome (he couldn’t make it; neither could President Ford, but several others were on hand). The Vietnam War had officially ended, Margaret Thatcher had just taken over the reins in England, and Jimmy Hoffa had disappeared. Elvis had just left the building and the average new home sold for $39,300, with the average income being $14,100. A new Ford Mustang sold for $4,105 and the Dow Jones hovered around 800. We are in a different place today, yet that which was most important then and is most important now (family, faith, friendship) remains the same. The world still rotates around the sun and God keeps on recreating it with greater grandeur and glory; thus, may we continue to always give praise to our Triune God for blessings and challenges! Thanks again, Gracious God, for these past forty years and for every moment of every day that we walk hand in hand to your kingdom!

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." - Mt 28:18-19 May 31, 2015 ♦ page 3 Most Holy Trinity Deacon Bob Beehner “Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit” It was great getting together with everyone this past Memorial Day weekend. My daughter Kathy and her husband have two little girls of their own. Their youngest daughter, Emily, is a good baby and she smiles a lot. I was surprised to be told that she looks a lot like my mom in her eyes. My mom passed away last year and I often will think of how I miss her. But when I looked hard into Emily’s eyes, I did start to see the resemblance. And while I was looking at her like this, Emily broke into one of her big smiles. I was struck deeply by the memory of my mom’s smile. Our memories may not be as good as we think they are and this is why a trinitarian God, who is one, is so incredibly helpful to us. Jeremiah the prophet says in God’s words: “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb, I knew you.” And did God smile at our individual formation? Of course…but I don’t remember. And in a small town to a chosen people, God physically came to us. To help our failing memories we have so many words that were written down with inspiration: the whole New Testament. As Jesus sends us forth in this Gospel reading, could he as be looking at us in love? That is, is he smiling? Our everyday experience of God is in the Holy Spirit, who is in us. I was caught off guard by the memory of my mom’s smile coming through in my granddaughter this weekend; yet shouldn’t I have realized that my own smile of love is the Holy Spirit of God shining through? Someday, will my daughter be struck with the memory of my smile? Does the love of God come through us in this way? For Jesus said “I am with you always to the end of the age.” I think I saw that love in Emily’s smile.

Media Ministers Needed Communication is important when you have a message as important as the Gospel. St. Francis of Assisi is becoming a congregation that is embracing the 21st century. We are striving to become a congregation that communicates a message of grace and love not just through our spoken word but through the many lines of communication that this highly connected world has to offer. G o therefo Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

Believing this in our lives can then overflow in thanksgiving and praise. Your gifts to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brings the love and care of Jesus to the poor. St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Manitowoc May 31, 2015 ♦ page 6 And Pope Francis' says… Three phrases he often recommends families use frequently: May I? Thank you. Forgive me. The words are simple, he said, and hearing the pope advise their frequent use could make someone smile at first. "But when we forget them, it's no laughing matter, right?" "We must be uncompromising in educating people in gratitude and thanksgiving," the pope said. "If family life ignores this, our social life will lose as well." In addition, he said, "for believers, gratitude is at the very heart of faith. A Christian who does not know how to give thanks is one who has forgotten God's language." "Listen up, eh," he told the estimated 25,000 people in the square, and repeated the sentence. Pope Francis said a "very wise" woman once told him, "'gratitude is a plant that grows only in the soil of noble souls.' The nobility of soul, the grace of God, pushes one to give thanks. Gratitude is the flower of a noble soul."
