Catholic Quotes—Words to Inspire the Faithful

"We are, all of us, molded and remolded by those who have

loved us." � Francois Mauriac�

Did you know? Our parish website has a link to Fr.

Dan's past homilies. You can go back to listen to Fr. Dan's

GOSPEL MEDITATION � �

ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE�

�

We all face obstacles in life. Perhaps it's a lost job, the death of a

loved one, a sudden accident that places an unexpected dent in our

finances. Some0mes the challenges are of our own making. Perhaps

we've developed pa1erns of sin in our personal lives or our family

rela0onships. We've all felt the jol0ng shock of, "This is all my fault."

How do these things affect our rela0onship with God? Or, perhaps

more poignantly, how do we now view God's rela0onship to us?�

� In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus' words to us are encouraging ones.

"No one can take them out of my hand." Did you catch that? In case

you didn't, Jesus reemphasizes the point again a few verses later.

"My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and

no one can take them out of the Father's hand." God's grip of

providen0al care and mercy is so strong that nothing can separate

us. We might think things take us out of God's hand � life

circumstances, tragedy, our lukewarm a;tudes towards faith � but

Jesus tells us otherwise. Nothing, no one, can take us out of the

Father's hand, and we can't take ourselves out! We can't remove

ourselves from Him, not en0rely. Even when grievous sin hardens

us to grace, His love is s0ll sustaining us in existence. And His mercy

is always awai0ng our repentance.�

� "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I

give them eternal life, and they shall never perish." This Sunday, let

us heed the voice of the Good Shepherd. Whatever we feel might

take us from God's hand, we can turn back to Him. God is always

invi0ng us to follow Him and to trust in His care and be sustained by

His hand.�

In honor and devo0on to Mary, Mother of

Jesus, the last three weekends in May please

Rosary before Saturday and Sunday Masses

in the church. The Rosary will start 20

minutes before Mass and end before Mass

starts.� Come Early to pray the whole Rosary

or join us when you arrive.

Evangeliza0on Apostolate website�

“Dear Friends, it is not always easy

to discern our voca#on and to steer

our life in the right direc#on. For this

reason, there needs to be a renewed

commitment on the part of the whole

Church � priests, religious, pastoral

workers and educators � to provide

young people in par#cular with

opportuni#es for listening and

discernment. There is a need for a

youth ministry and a voca#onal

promo#on that can open the way to

discovering God’s plan, above all

through prayer, medita#on on God’s

word, Eucharis#c adora#on and

spiritual accompaniment.�

On this World Day of Prayer for

Voca#ons, let us join in prayer and

ask the Lord to help us discover his plan of love for our lives,

and to grant us the courage to walk in the path that, form the

beginning, he has chosen for each of us.”�

reveals the crea0ve poten0al of the human spirit and

shows that beauty is a route of access to God. Through

humanity’s crea0ve ar0stry we glimpse the power and glory of the

Lord. We will gather to watch this video on the Solemnity of the

great gifts idea!�

We are planning for Alpha in the fall.

In the mean0me, here are some things our Alpha

guests had to say at the end of the last session:� "The

facts about the Bible and Jesus in the first videos had

the most impact.� How can people not believe when

they hear all those facts?"�� "I feel like these Alpha sessions

scratched the surface in answering the ques on 'Why am I

here?'"� "Before the course I knew a lot of factual 0dbits about my

faith, but ...not really organized in my head...The way that the Al-

pha course was presented helped me to make sense of it all...to see

the big picture.� Prior to the course, I ...could liken my many

'factoids' to leaves that were floa0ng around or piled up.� Now I

have the tree to hang them on!"� Our Alpha course is successful in

part to our hosts and helpers and, of course, to our Advocate, the

Holy Spirit!�

WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED

Ques=on: At a parish council mee0ng, our pastor men0oned the

need for deacons. It is something I am considering. How do I know if

I have a voca0on? What steps should I take next?�

Answer: Any and all gi(s that the Holy Spirit gives to the church

are for the good of the community. As members of the Body of

Christ, what one member does affects all. What the body does also

affects each member. A voca0on or call to ministry is tested and

verified by the church. Through prayer, instruc0on, and service, a

voca0on is tested, and then acknowledged by the official call to

orders or to service.�

If you are considering becoming a deacon, the first step would

be to talk to your pastor. He will be able to give you more specific

informa0on on the program in your diocese, what is expected of

you, and how you apply. You might also begin to see a spiritual

director, someone who can help you with your faith journey and

voca0on discernment. They do so by focusing on prayer, your

rela0onship with God, and spiritual prac0ces. Finally, you'll need to

see the diocesan voca0on director in charge of deacons to apply.

Best wishes! �

�

Are you considering serving the Church as an Ordained Deacon? The

Church calls men to be deacons “in�service” to the People of God. If

you are a man (married or single), that feels this call and wants to

know more, please contact the Office for Diaconate Forma0on at

414�758�2207 or�[email protected]. �

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK�

When something delights us, it touches us

in a unique and special way. We are s0rred

within, filled with happiness, glee, and joy.

The object of our delight cap0vates us, and

we are eager, some0mes beyond words,

to obtain it. Have you ever been delighted

by your faith, the Gospel, God's Word, or

an encounter with God? The Gen0les were

delighted when they learned they were

sharers in the Good News and ecsta0c

that they were included. They recognized

their shepherd and realized that they

discovered something or someone unlike

any other before. We can easily become

lukewarm in our rela0onship with God and

forget just how life�changing the Good

News of our faith really is. We are brought

to the springs of life�giving water and

are gi(ed with something secular life

simply cannot provide: Jesus, the

Good Shepherd. � �
