STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in
princes.” Psalm 118:8-9
To often our society trains us to take refuge in man-made
riches. Yet Thomas Merton once wrote, “There is no
poverty so great as that of the prosperous.” Too many
possessions can leave us empty—always questing for more
things that do not really matter—while we ignore Our Lord.

A very special thanks to all
who worked so hard on the Guild
Tea. Kudos to Barbara Casey
whose dedication made it a truly
celebratory afternoon. I heard
nothing but rave reviews. Thanks
for bringing joy and laughter to our parish! Thank you also
to the Parish Nurse Ministry for organizing the Mass for
the Anointing of the Sick. The Red Sox fans in the
congregation were most appreciative! With the parish hall
down for the afternoon the crew quickly went to plan “B”
and had a wonderful reception in the Knights of Columbus
Hall.
We are still on target to hit our parish goal for the
Annual Catholic Appeal of $60,297. At present we have
pledged/made gifts totaling $46,035. That puts us at 76.35
% of our goal. Across the diocese the average is 75% of
goal. Thank you to those who have so generously donated
your treasure. Can we count on those who have yet to
contribute? Currently only 17.9% of registered families
have contributed (193). What makes or breaks a campaign
like this is participation. Even if it is only a dollar or two
you would be amazed the difference it makes in raising the
overall tally. Please be generous.
Do we realize that God loves us? The second reading
from Saint John is so simple and yet so profound.
“Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.” (1 JN 3).
There is a powerful chapter in the book, “The Shack” by
Paul Young titled “Here comes da Judge.” Mack is at his
weekend with the Trinity-Papa, Jesus, and Sarayu and he
is asked to appear before Wisdom. What is interesting is
that if you look how Mr. Young describes the
personification of Wisdom it sounds almost exactly like
Our Lady of Guadalupe. A woman with olive skin wearing
a multicolored robe with stars inlaid-sounds like
Guadalupe to me! Wisdom tells Mack that he is there to
judge God and the human race. It is a moving encounterMack asks if Papa loves his daughter Missy who was
abducted and killed. Wisdom says “yes, of course.” Missy,
we learn later, was a metaphor for Mr. Young’s lost
innocence through childhood sexual abuse. It was part of
his “great sadness.” You see, deep down, Mack (Paul
Young) could not believe that a God who would allow
such suffering and pain could actually be good. At best he
thought God might be some Gandalf figure (white, old,
imperious)-someone to be feared and respected, but not
someone who is good.
What about you? Have you experienced great loss?
Are you questioning how a good God can allow such
horrible things to happen in our world? Be of good cheer.
We have an Abba, a Papa, who is the most tender of all
Fathers-a Father that calls us His children. Let the depth
and breadth of His love penetrate the inmost reaches of
your heart until you will cry out “Abba, Father! Abba,
Father!”

Congratulations
to our young adults who have each given
more than 40 hours of service to their
community. They have participated in fifty
hours of classroom instruction, attended two
retreats, and have worked with their sponsors over the
past two years in order to prepare to receive the
Sacrament of Confirmation. May God continue to bless
them and all that they do.

WORD OF LIFE
Most importantly of all, we call upon the Catholic faithful, and all people of faith, throughout our country to join
us in prayer and penance for our leaders and for the restoration of our First Freedom—religious liberty—which is
not only protected in the laws and customs of our great
Nation, but rooted in the teachings of our great Tradition.
Prayer is the ultimate source of our strength—for without
God, we can do nothing; but with God, all things are possible. Administrative Committee of the USCCB, “United
for Religious Freedom,” March 14, 2012

Fourth Sunday of Easter
Introduction-Liturgy of the Word:
Catholic tradition calls this Fourth Sunday of Easter “Good
Shepherd Sunday.” In the Gospel of John, Jesus describes
himself as the Good Shepherd and his followers as the
sheep of his flock. He also proclaims his loving care even
for those who do not yet belong to his fold. the Church also
designates today as World Day of Prayer for Vocations,
asking Jesus our Good Shepherd to call generous souls to
serve the Lord’s flock in the priesthood, diaconate, and
religious life. As we gather for this celebration, let us
resolve to hear and heed our Good Shepherd’s voice, to
know and follow where Jesus leads.

Men are like a fine cheese. They start out as milk, and it’s up
to women to mold them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
Laugh and the world laughs with you. Snore and you sleep
alone. (Lars Olson)
Love is cuddling on a sofa. Marriage is one of them sleeping
on a sofa.
Behind every great man is a women rolling her eyes. (Jim
Carrey)

DEFENDING OUR
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Hello Friends.
I am Bishop Michael Cote. In the current struggle on
freedom of religion, we make it clear that we are not
trying to impose our teachings on anybody. We are
saying don’t impose your teaching upon us, and
make us as a church, do what we find unconscionable to do. By requiring the Catholic Church to fund
procedures that go against our moral convictions, the
government is taking away our right to freedom of
religion.
Please contact the offices of your Congressional
Representatives and United States Senators to express your opposition to the mandate. For addresses
and phones numbers, please visit:
www.ctcatholic.org or www.norwichdiocese.org.
