Breaking Open the Word

May 3, 2020

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Lectionary: 49 Gospel JN 10:1-10

Spiritual Reflection: Jesus’ claim of being the Good

Shepherd is not only because He goes in search of the

Lost Sheep, but also because He is the best one to

lead us to the pastures of eternal life.

Spiritual Questions:

1. What does Jesus as “sheep gate” mean to you

today?

2. Are you living your Christian life in abundance?

How?

3. The Lord is my shepherd: is there anything you

lack?

4. How is Jesus a shepherd and a lamb to you?

5. If you were Jesus, would you let yourself in past

the sheep gate ?

Good and gracious God,

You call each person by name

and invite them to follow you.

On this World Day of Prayer

for Vocations,

may each person hear and

respond to the call they have

received.

We pray for all discerning

marriage, the chaste

single life, consecrated life,

or ordained ministries,

that your Holy Spirit

would guide, inspire,

and strengthen

them.

May your

Church and the

world be

enriched by the

"yes" of your

children.

Amen.

Due to the cancellation of public Masses we will suspend requests for

intentions until further notice. Mass intentions that have been requested

and already scheduled will be honored during Fr. Pastorius’ daily private

Mass in the order that they were scheduled. Since he is saying only one

Mass a day there will be an abundance of requests that will not be

fulfilled until our schedule returns to normal. Please know that all

intentions not used during this time will be rescheduled when normal

Masses resume.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Parish Office is CLOSED.

Employees will be coming in periodically to check mail and voicemails and

many are continuing to work from home. Please be patient as we all adjust

to this new way of doing business. If you need to speak to someone in the

office but are not sure who to direct your call to, please leave a message for

Maria Murillo and she will be sure to forward your request/question to the

correct employee. She can be reached at 636-227-5247 ext. 1604.

The Lord is my shepherd; there is

for you are at my side with your rod and your

staff that give me courage. - Psalm 23

“What a blessing it is to know Christ, the Good

Shepherd, to know him as the Redeemer who laid

down his life for the sheep, to know him as the

Risen Lord, the source of everlasting Joy and

life.” (St. John Paul II)

From the Pastor Notas del Párroco 3

1. School Update As I begin my bulletin

column this week, I would like to ask you to

pray the following prayer with me. It is a

prayer that many of us know. It is called the

Serenity Prayer:

God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things

that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things

which should be changed, and the Wisdom to

distinguish the one from the other.

Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a

time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as

I would have it, Trusting that You will make all

things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may

be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy

with You forever in the next. - Amen.

On Friday, April 24

th

, I alerted the parish

through Flocknotes and our school parents

through Fast Direct that we currently had

around 70 students enrolled for the 2020-

2021 school year, and if everyone who was in

the process of registering completed their

registration, we would end up with fewer

than 100 students. I then asked the school

parents to set up a meeting with me so that I

could talk with them (and still keep social

distancing guidelines) because I want their

input. Through the same note, I announced

that Mr. Sturgill, our principal, has decided

to leave St. Joseph and become principal at a

Catholic School in South St. Louis closer to

his home. I want to make it clear that at the

time that I am writing this (April 28

th

) no

decision about the future of our school has

been made. I am still gathering information

so that I can make a proper recommendation

to the Archbishop about our school’s future.

I once again ask you to pray for everyone

involved in making this decision and for all

who will be affected by it.

2. Online Church We are trying our best to

reach out to everyone in as many ways as

possible. We have Sunday Mass ready for

your family to view every Saturday starting

at 4PM. We offer daily Mass on our website

from Bishop Barron. Sunday Mornings at

10AM you are invited to join me on Zoom for

“ELEVATE” where we are going through a

series right now on Salvation History. I am

offering a daily Gospel reflection that can be

found on Facebook, Flocknotes, and our

parish website. Our youth group is meeting

three times a week on Zoom (Sunday

7:15PM, Wednesday 7:30PM, and Friday

7:30PM) and Greg Barker and Deacon Dan

are offering a series of reflections through

Zoom.

3. Home Prayer Spaces One of the great

things that we can do to deepen our faith life

at home (even under normal circumstances)

is to create a home prayer space. I would

encourage you to send pictures of your Home

Prayer Spaces to me at

[email protected] so we can

share them with one another. Here are some

suggestions/tips to help you:

1) Choose a focal piece: This item will

serve the purpose of drawing your eye, and

therefore your attention, to the space. It

should be somewhat large so that you notice it

as you walk into the room; for example, your

favorite religious statue or holy

image featuring Jesus, Mary, or your favorite

saint. Choose something that has special

meaning to you or your family. Our Blessed

Mother is always a great choice!

2) Pick the right spot: Find an attractive

and inviting spot in your home, such as a

corner nook. You just need it big enough to add

a comfortable chair and a small side table. A

spot by a window is a good idea, or some other

secluded spot in the home. Include two chairs if

you have a family. If you are able, try to keep

this space special and set apart exclusively for

quiet prayer and spiritual reading, and avoid

using it for other activities.

3) Add Catholic items to your nook:

Display your focal piece in the spot you

selected and add a crucifix, a rosary, Catholic

prayer and/or meditation books, a bible, and a

few prayer cards. You probably have many of

these items already scattered throughout the

house that you can bring together into one

place.

4) Accessorize: In churches you don’t find

saint statues and holy images without fresh

flowers and candles around them as a sign of

faith, love, and devotion. Do the same in your

prayer space to add a bit of reverence and

beauty.

4. Leave It To Us Some friends of mine

have started a St. Louis chapter of a new

community service organization to help

people in this time of need:

Hello St. Joseph Community,

Our names are Sarah and Rachel Noser and we are

your neighbors from Sacred Heart in Valley Park.

We love visiting your beautiful church to see Fr. Tom,

Reverend Ricardo, and your welcoming parishioners!

We are writing today to ask for volunteers for a

nonprofit organization called Leave It To Us. Its

mission is to help the most vulnerable during the

COVID-19 quarantine get needed groceries or

pharmacy items delivery fee-free. Volunteers, armed

with masks and gloves, go retrieve groceries. Then,

they go to the senior’s home and swap the groceries

for payment, which will be in a secure location on the

porch. Lastly, they will call the senior and let them

know their groceries have been delivered. With this

process, seniors can stay in their homes and will have

less exposure to the Coronavirus, hopefully making

them feel safer. If you are interested or have anyone

who could benefit from our services, please feel free to

contact us. Sarah: [email protected],

314-677-4102; Rachel: [email protected],

314-660-5223. For more information on the

organization visit: https://www.leaveittous.global/

5. Blessed Virgin Mary Madness We have

created an online fundraiser combining the

fun of March Madness brackets (which we

missed out on this year), an opportunity to

learn more about the Blessed Virgin Mary, a

chance to win some money, and most

importantly, a chance to help two great

causes. The first great cause is our own St.

Vincent DePaul Society. The Second is

Stephen Smith’s To the Nations organization

(Stephen gave our parish mission two years

ago). His organization is making major

efforts to help the people of Uganda fight the

spread of the coronavirus by sending them

soap, sanitizers, and other things we take for

granted. Go to https://

www.stjoemanchester.org/mary-madness to

learn more about the fundraiser, register and

complete your bracket. There you will also

find the many different titles of Mary and

different prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The cost to participate is $10. After

completing your bracket you will need to

make your $10 donation online through our

online giving program, WeShare. All entries

are due by Mother’s Day (May 10, 2020).

6. Parish Council It is time for us to have

new members added to the Parish Council.

When I first became pastor, I was told by

“experts” in the field of lay ministry that the

new way of doing parish council was to have

twelve people serve simultaneous three-year

terms. After three years of being at St.

Joseph, I do not think it is in the parish’s or

my best interest to have a complete change

over on the parish council at this time. I am

therefore going to ask four of the twelve to

remain for one more year. Then I will choose

(by drawing names out of a hat) four people

to serve a two-year term and four more for a

three-year term. In this way, the new Parish

Council will consist of four returning

members, four new members with two-year

terms and four new members with three-year

terms. The role of the council is to form a

small faith community with the pastor. In

this community the pastor shares his ideas

about the future of the parish and he feels

comfortable enough to allow the council to

challenge him. If you are interested please

email me at [email protected].

Stephen Ministry

Who benefits

from Stephen

Ministry?

Everyone. Those

receiving care as well as those

providing the spiritual growth.

Our pastor even benefits as the

caring ministry at St. Joseph is

expanded. Most of all, you

benefit from the knowledge that

special care is available to you

should you need it. In addition,

you now have a place to refer a

friend, relative or coworker who

is going through a difficult time.

Stephen Ministry makes St.

Joseph a much more caring

place. For more information,

call Anne Grant, 636-399-7633

Spiritual Ponderings

Coronavirus & the Sacraments

I had already completed my Spiritual Ponderings for the month of May when a friend of mine

recommended that I read an article that he forward to me on Facebook. It was called: “Epidemic

Danger and Catholic Sacraments” and was written by Thomas Joseph White, O.P., Director of the

Thomistic Institute in Rome. I felt God asking me to use this article as a stepping off point for my

own reflections on what this strange time of “social distancing” means for the Church. Quotes from

his article will be in bold and my commentary and reflections will be in normal font.

As the Church enters a Triduum where a great majority of the faithful lack public access to the

sacraments, I’d like to offer some reflections that stand in sharp contrast to those currently

being promoted by the editor of First Things, my friend Rusty Reno, regarding the current

pandemic, civic responsibility, and access to the sacraments. In fact, I take his views to be

rather misguided, though well-intentioned, and am grateful for his magnanimity in inviting me

to offer an alternative position.

I think the way Thomas White begins his article is awesome in the sense that he shows that he is

interested in creating a dialogue and not conflict. I also give Rusty Reno credit for allowing Thomas

White to offer an opinion that differs from his own in a magazine where he is one of the chief editors.

This is how things are supposed to work in the Church. These are two people who demonstrate that

they are trying to offer their thoughts on an issue without beating each other up. There have been

many great debates in the history of the Church. The only time a person becomes a heretic is when

the Church finally declares that an idea is wrong and someone continues to stubbornly hold onto it.

I realize the issues are fraught, and anyone’s view is necessarily subject to a fair amount of

fallible prudential judgment. I hope, however, to at least ground my arguments in both Catholic

principles and a realistic assessment of our current situation, so as to develop what I think are

measured and appropriate positions.

The preceding quote from Thomas White demonstrates another important part of how to argue in an

appropriate way. It shows that he has put a lot of thought into what he is about to say. This does

not mean that he is right or wrong, but it does show that he is not speaking to hear himself speak or

to fill in the silence.

My first claim is based on a basic given of natural law. The state has a fundamental obligation to

protect human life, especially when it is gravely threatened. This obligation is compounded in a

time of epidemic if there is a danger of a generalized collapse of the medical system through a

rapid and overwhelming influx of new cases of a deadly disease, which COVID-19 certainly is.

In a context where the medical system breaks down, deaths from the disease multiply and

many other maladies cannot be safely treated. The state, then, has a moral obligation to seek to

halt or slow the spread of the disease. In requesting a thoroughgoing but temporary quarantine,

governments across the world are following both traditional, time-tested procedure and proven

scientific advice. In doing so they are acting in accord with human inclinations to protect life

that are both basic and intrinsically good, even ineradicably so, despite the effects of sin on

political organizations. Civic governments are wounded by sin, but not radically depraved.

They can still pursue and uphold basic natural goods, as they are seeking to do in this case.

We, Catholics, believe in Divine and Natural Law. Divine Law meaning the Law of God which is

manifested in Natural Law – the laws instilled by God into nature when He created the world.

According to the principals of Natural Law the state (Civil Government) is supposed to align its

laws with Natural Law. This is why we Catholics get so worked up over the fact that abortion is

legal.

There is something different between quarantining people in order to save lives and quarantining

people because of who they are. Our civil leaders knew that they, our medical systems (hospitals,

testing, etc.), would be overwhelmed if they did not do something to stop the halt of this disease.

They are therefore trying to protect/save lives by asking us to social distance.

Furthermore, because temporary (two to three months) quarantine measures are the essential

key to stemming transmission rates so that societies can learn to deal with this illness more

competently, quarantine is also a necessary first step in the restoration of public economic well-

being and civic freedoms. Opposing the two (health vs. civic flourishing) is scientifically

unrealistic and ethically irresponsible.

Human beings have a tendency to make it a “this thing” verses “that thing” issue. As Jesus said, the

Devil likes to divide. Human society cannot flourish while so many of its people are dying. At the

same time, we must admit that we are in an uncharted area for most of us because financial hardships

can put people’s lives at risk also. We must remember that addressing this issue as an “us” verses

“them” mentality will not help us. Instead it must be a “we are all in this together” mentality.

Celebrating Mass

celebrando misa 8

Just for Kids

Sharing the Gospel You are one of God’s sheep. Jesus calls you

by name. You recognize his voice. Close your eyes. Listen to the

voices of your family and friends. You can tell who is talking by

the sound of their voices. You choose to follow Jesus on his path.

You love God above everything. You love your neighbor as

yourself. You share your toys, money and food with your family

and the poor.

Prayer Jesus, help me hear the right voices, and not follow the

wrong voices.

Something to Draw Draw a sheep following Jesus along a road

that leads into heaven.

Mission for the Week I will listen and follow the directions of

my parents right away.
