Monsignor’s Corner

How Many Times Should I Forgive? One of the most

difficult challenges we face in life is the ability to forgive

and to be forgiven.

We have countless

examples everyday

of people who live

without

forgiveness.

Families and friends are

torn apart because we

can’t forgive. Bitterness –

Hostility – Grudges that

we carry with us for years

and years; never letting the

anger, and never letting go

of the hurt. Meet an angry

person and you will meet a person who has been hurt.

Letting go of that hurt is not something that we generally

are able to do, easily. Not letting go cripples us, deforms

us. Think of the cripples in the Gospel and the Lepers

deformed and cut off from community life and family. I

am certain they were asking God why? Not just about the

physical reality of their lives, but also why they were not

able to be a part of the community. I am certain they

were feeling hurt

and a subsequent

anger.

So often we carry

“prejudice” ,

“bigotry,” “bias”

toward others;

unleashing it on

others. Think of

the people Jesus

met – the woman

caught in adultery – the “good” people wanted to stone

her. Think of the prodigal son who left home (maybe today

the prodigal is the son or daughter on drugs, the street kid,

and the lost one), the “good” son was angry. In each case -

forgiveness received and forgiveness offered - was the key

for all the players.

Jesus teaches us to let go of our fears, to remember that

each person is the Beloved of God and to allow forgiveness

to be given even more than seven times.

Thank You from Fr. Ed

Dear Friends at Christ the Servant Parish:

I am deeply grateful for the past two years that I spent with

all of you. Thank you for welcoming me and supporting me

throughout that time. You have all brought much peace and

joy to my life and ministry. Through you all I have gained

a deeper understanding and experience of the powerful

presence of Christ the Servant in one another. I want to

offer a special thank you for the tremendous outpouring of

cards, messages, gifts and acts of thoughtfulness and

kindness you expressed at the time of my departure and

re-assignment to St. Rose Parish. I regret that my time was

so short at Christ the Servant Parish, but I am very happy

that I was able to be with you. I am very blessed to have

been part of such a vibrant and loving faith community.

May God continue to bless and guide each of you on your

journeys and in your ministries as faithful followers of

Christ the Servant. Thank you for blessing, helping and

inspiring me.

Be assured of my love and prayers always!

RCIA Inquiry Sessions: For those wanting

to find out more about the Church and

for those High School and Adult

Catholics who have not received the

Sacrament of Confirmation.

The Inquiry Sessions for the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) will begin on Monday evening, September 22 at 7:00 p.m. in Seton Hall. This is an opportunity for those who are not Catholic to find out more about the Church. This is a time of discernment and discussion and of sharing ones own faith journey and exploring together in community whether ones personal faith journey can best be lived out within the Roman Catholic Church.

Again, I emphasize it is a time of searching, questioning and learning, and decision making. Those individuals who have been baptized as Roman Catholics, but have not been confirmed (High School and Adult) should attend these sessions. Confirmation will be administered at the Easter Vigil with the Candidates and Catechumens. The RCIA team will be coordinated by Rosemarie Houser and team members incorporating a variety of instructors. Also sharing in the RCIA journey will be individuals who are continu-ing in their own faith journey and who will be companions with you in your own journey. The RCIA Inquiry Sessions are not intended as adult education classes for those who are full members of the Church. Adult Education will be provided for those individuals and announced at a later time.

“This is my commandment, that you love one

another as I have loved you. No one has great-

er love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s

friends. You are my friends if you do what I

command you. . You did not choose me but I

chose you “

A recent experience that I absolutely loved was

being in Guatemala for the wedding of Andrew

and Ceci Spehar. What a beautiful

couple.

The first days were spent in Antiqua, the original

capital of Guatemala. The reason the capital was

moved was because of the earthquakes. You will

never guess what happened the second night in

Antiqua ? Yes, an earthquake – small, but it did

wake me. I guess that just made me bolder

because on Thursday I did something that I

would never have thought I would do – Zip-

lining in the mountains of Antigua. The picture

says it all – what a thrill ! I guess that is one

thing off my bucket list.

From Antigua we went to Guatemala

City. At the wedding I met a priest Fr.

Michael Della Penna, from Boston.


Fr. is a Franciscan priest serving as director of an orphanage called Valle de Los Angeles, in

Guatemala City. I was privileged to have

Mass for 150 of the children on

Sunday morning. I wanted to bring

them all home with me.

Valle De Los Angeles Orphanage

Then this past Sunday I had the

last Mass for the growing

season in Hartville.

I was able to both preside over

their First Communions and

Confirmation of the children.

Brother Guilliamo, the Assistant

Superior General of the Broth-

ers of Christian Instruction

from Rome was present for the

celebration, along with Brother

Joshlyn, a student at Walsh

University, along with a faculty

member, Jeannette ( English Instructor) and two students, Carolina and Maite, from Bolivia and

Honduras. It has been an eventful two weeks; one that I have certainly enjoyed and has allowed

me to experience the beauty of our world and the people in it. LGaetano
