June 24, 2018 The Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Tiny fingers and toes. A little yawn. A loud cry. An
infant wrapped in swaddling clothes. "What will this
child be?" It is a question every parent asks time
and time again. As first steps are taken, as
personalities emerge, as a child shows interest in
reading or drawing or climbing, the question is on
our lips. "What will this child be?" This question is
asked as John the Baptist is born. Will he be a priest
like his father? Does his strange, unexpected name
signal a departure from that inheritance? Could
Elizabeth and Zechariah ever have predicted what
would be?
Under the tutelage of his priestly father, John
"became strong in spirit." As an adult, John would
retreat into the desert to preach repentance. He
would attract a large following and eventually
attract the attention of the rulers of the day. He
would point out the adulterous ways of King Herod
and would find himself in prison. Eventually, he
would be beheaded. But today, he is a child, an
infant newly born.
On this special feast, we're reminded of the great
humility required of parents. The character
formation, the discipline and encouragement, the
violin lessons and soccer practices ? every parental
effort is subjected to the decisions of the child
themself. Even children on a sure track by high
school graduation transform under life's
circumstances. Entrusting our children to God can
be incredibly intimidating. "What will this child be,"
especially when that transformation lies outside of
my control? John the Baptist's story might not have
ended as his parents imagined. But he is celebrated
as the greatest of the prophets, as the one who
prepared the way for the Messiah. Here is the hope
of all Christian parents -- that our children would be
raised in such a way that when people meet them,
they meet Jesus Christ.
Please remember our diocesan
seminarians in prayer.
In particular this week we pray for
Isaac Pecha.

Our Mission and Identity
Our parish, Nativity of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, grows only in Christ and
through the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Flowing from these gifts, we dedicate
ourselves to live and proclaim the
Gospel message of Christ’s love. To
live Christ’s love may at times be
difficult. Nevertheless, it is our goal.
We are called to reach out to our
parish family, to the needs of the local
community, the diocesan Church, the
universal Church, and to the global
community. We do this by being
attentive to the voice of God found in
the Sacred Scriptures, in the Sacred
Tradition of our Catholic faith, and
through an informed conscience which
we try to cultivate.
In light of our baptism, we try to be
Christ centered in every aspect of our
faith life.
Pax Christi Adoration Chapel
The Adoration Chapel can ONLY be described as a wonderful
gift. It is the gift of being close to the presence of the Lord
Jesus as we contemplate His love for us.
During the Holy Mass, the bread and wine are changed into
the Body and Blood of Christ. During times of Adoration when
the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, we see the consecrated
bread and the consecrated wine which have truly become the
Real Presence of Jesus Christ. In one sense, this is a miracle
in our midst – that Jesus would come to us in this way. But
often that is the way of the Lord – a silent and unobtrusive
way. He comes to us in silence, remains within us and invites
us to carry Him into the world around us. None of us can ever
fully understand how this occurs, but we do know why it
occurs. It happens because God loves us and loves this world
so deeply. He wants to remain with us and we with Him.
If you are willing to give the Lord even a bit of your time by
adoring Him in the Blessed Sacrament, you will find these
words to take on new meaning:
Come in faith, Remain in hope,
Go out in love.
The effects of adoration: Here is a comment from one of our
parishioners who has a weekly hour of adoration. “In the past,
I never had a personal relationship with Jesus. I knew of him, I
knew about him, but I didn’t know him. I didn’t really love
Jesus because you can’t love someone you don’t know. The
first time I went to adoration, I was bored out of my mind and
spent most of the time looking at my watch. During my second
visit, I didn’t pray at all. The third time, however, I was at a low
point. Adoration has improved every aspect of my life. I’m no
longer in a state of constant worry about situations I have no
control over. I don’t know what the future holds, but I find
great comfort in knowing the One who does. “
