Pastor’s 2 Cents From: Fr. Jim DeBruycker

The time from the late seventies into the early eighties was the golden age of self-help theories.

If you were in the helping professions, you were into Gestalt Theory, getting in touch with your

feelings (let’s all break into dyads now), recovered memories, Transcendental Meditation &

Transactional Analysis, and/or co-dependency. God knows I had my chakras realigned more

than a few times. I even found my animal familiar with the help of a native healer - a raven; they

cackle and hang around death a lot.

I’m not making fun of these theories - just the people who read a book and then declare them-

selves experts; “did that, done that” equals trouble. One of my favorites was having launching

parties. Supposedly, the first launching parties were conceived by therapist and co-dependency

guru, Sondra Smalley.

Co-dependent people have a hard time with self-identity. They need to take ownership of who

they are and own their own personal power - it took 15 years of therapy to be able to write that

sentence. So like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz who needed a diploma to prove his wis-

dom, the co-dependent needs a certificate to proclaim themselves a certified graduated adult,

or a document stating, ‘quit griping and make up your mind.’

After years of listening to me complain, my fellow chaplains at HCMC threw me a surprise

launch party with the hopes that I would finally shut up and quit being a putz. Sadly I lost the

certificate. I need a refresher launching and I kind of see all this cancer stuff as a wakeup call.

One of the sad things about adulthood is you don’t get too many proficiency updates. If you

screw up in your professional work, someone will generally let you know, but in your every-

day life as a mensch, you probably won’t get a lot of feedback - unless you are Larry David.

It would be nice to have a voice from heaven proclaim, “You are my beloved Son with whom I

am well pleased.” Usually, in my head I only hear a voice moaning, “What were you thinking,

you schmuck?” Of course when Jesus heard that praise from heaven, he translated it as,

“Enough with the Christmas vacation - get to work.” Oy Vey! Get off your tuchas! Be good to

yourself.

Happy New Year! (And thanks to Ellis Wiener and his book, Yiddish with Dick and Jane.)

Gym Masses

Presider: Fr. James Cassidy

Pre-mass: On this Baptism of the Lord

Sunday, parishioners Alan Nachtigal

and Blake Wilson share their journey to

bring their son, Cohen, into the Catholic

faith through Baptism.

Our own Christina Pawlowski will in-

spire our worship with a meditation solo.

Tommy Barbarella, bandleader and

keyboardist, will offer an offertory song.

Thank you to all of our musicians who

lead our sung prayer each Sunday.

Family Mass

On this Feast of the Baptism of the

Lord, as we think about how we are

all beloved children of God, we have

a story by Barbara Joosse, I Love You

the Purplest, about a mother’s love for

her two very different boys. Thank you

to our readers Jeanne Ford and Enzo

and Luca La Hoz Calassara. See you

in the church at 9:45/11:45am. All are

welcome to our joyful liturgies!

Catholic Social Teaching: The Foundation of Our Faith and Our

Shared Future. The principles of CST offer us a powerful lens

blueprint for us in overwhelming times:

�� Human Dignity: Every one of us is created in the image and

likeness of God.

�� Common Good: We realize our human dignity in relationship

and community.

�� Option for the Poor: The moral test of our society is how we

treat our most vulnerable.

�� Rights and Responsibilities: We all have a fundamental

right to what is needed to live in dignity - life, food, shelter,

health care, education, employment. We also have a respon-

sibility to participate in our public life together.

�� Role of Government: The state has a positive moral function

to promote human dignity, protect human rights and build the

common good.

�� Economic Justice: All workers have the right to decent and

fair wages and safe working conditions. No one is allowed to

amass excessive wealth while others lack the basic necessi-

ties of life.

�� Stewardship of God's Creation: We are called to live in

right relationship with the earth.

�� Promotion of Peace and Disarmament: Peace is not just

the absence of war. Peace is the fruit of justice.

�� Global Solidarity: We are called to work together globally in

an interdependent world.

Baptism: To have your child baptized at St. Joan’s

you must be a registered member and participate in

a 90-minute Baptism preparation class. FFI and to

Summer Service Trip Information Session, 12:30 - 1:30pm

today in the Upper Room. Our 2019

service trip will be to Milwaukee,

Wisconsin, June 23 - June 28.

Open to ascending 9 - 12 graders,

we will spend a week in Milwaukee serving alongside some great

organizations working to support the Milwaukee community. These

organizations include food pantries, soup kitchens, local gardens,

and intergenerational care centers. Many of these organizations

are interconnected in the process of reducing food insecurity

throughout the community. In the evenings you’ll participate in

a local worship service, prepare and serve a community meal, go

to the beach of Lake Michigan, and hear from community friends

who work with teenagers and adults that grew up in the inner city.

$100 nonrefundable deposit reserves your spot starting that day!

There are limited spaces so if you are thinking of coming, todays

meeting is VERY important! Questions? Email Rose or Brennan.
