POPE FRANCIS—PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR MARCH

Evangelization: Formation in Spiritual Discernment That the Church may appreciate the urgency of formation in spiritual discernment, both on the personal and communitarian levels.

Pastor’s Corner

What a retreat! More than 250 people attended and almost 100 were from our

parish! I am going to spend a while unpacking it! If you didn’t hear, last weekend, God

manifested His Power and Love in a BIG way right here at St. Alice. It was nothing short

of a new Pentecost! As I talk to people about their experience, I have heard mention of

every kind of spiritual gift found in the Acts of the Apostles and the letter to the

Corinthians: prophecy, healing, miracles, words of knowledge etc. What was probably the

most amazing part of the weekend, was that most of the healings came about, not

primarily through the retreat team, but from the participants praying with each other! Many St. Alice

parishioners have told me how they experienced the power and love of God released in their life when they prayed

for other people, and how God answered their simple prayers for others when they asked for physical healings for

them. Many parishioners experienced physical healings, from arthritis in the hands and knees, to scoliosis, to

neuropathy, and many others that simply haven’t shared their stories with me yet! Many others experienced deep

emotional healing of traumatic memories, chronic shame, self-loathing, depression, and one even received complete

healing of deep-seated homosexual desire! It was simply a powerful revelation of God’s merciful love for His

children—and it happened right here in our Church in 2018—God is alive and He loves us!

It was also a manifestation of the hierarchical and charismatic nature of the Church. The charisms, or ‘gifts’

of the Spirit, and the authority structures of the Church were working hand in hand exactly in the way the Second

Vatican council envisioned. The event was blessed by the bishop beforehand, officiated by me with the help of

brother priests and deacons, organized and run by a team of the laity, with everyone using their proper gifts—and

the gifts of healing, miracles, prophecy, words of knowledge, and discernment were being used by everyone, laity

and priests together, to build up our faith as one family! There was no competition, no sense of ‘my gifts’ or ‘I’m in

charge’, but everyone humbly submitting to one another out of love, and respecting the institutional authority of

the priests so that God’s blessing could flow freely and all the spiritual gifts could be ordered properly. In short, the

body of Christ was working together as one under Christ the head! And it was amazing to experience! When the

body is united, the members are made whole! The retreat was called ‘healing the whole person’—and it was not just

about the individual, but about healing the whole body, the Church! How much this work is needed to continue!

When God does so much in a short time, the risk is simply moving on without acknowledging or thanking God

enough. I am asking all those who attended to please submit your stories, electronically if possible, of what God did

for you. When you share what God did for you, you are exercising your baptismal call to evangelize. Our parish

and our community needs your witness! When we have the stories compiled, we will have a living document of

‘glory reports’ that people can read when they doubt God’s goodness or if God really cares about us today. The

answer is a resounding YES!

If you ‘missed out’ or regret not going, don’t worry--this is just the beginning. God has started something that will

continue to grow. When people begin living into the graces of their baptism and confirmation, manifestations of

God’s love become an ordinary part of life. And why not? We become ‘other Christs’ in Baptism and are anointed

with the same Spirit in confirmation. Jesus said, “Truly, Truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works

that I have done, and even greater than these…Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be

glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:12ff)

Love, Fr. Mark

other congregations of different faiths in Lane County

to provide shelter, meals and peace of mind to

homeless families with children.

This is an important, highly visible and vital activity,

and, of course, there are many volunteer opportunities

for our parishioners and groups. So many here have

participated in this effort, but all are welcome and

needed to make this a special week for our guests

from First Place. We need people to prepare and

serve meals, drive vans, donate food and cash

donations for supplies.

There will be sign up sheets in the vestibule for the
