My Two Cents by Fr. Don Braukmann May 7, 2017 Congratulations to the 50+ young people making their First Communion this weekend here at St. Philip's. As I will tell them at Mass, I believe this is the most important day of their lives! This is the day they receive Jesus Christ, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Architect of the universe and the Creator of all!
He always was. He always is. He always will be. Unmoved
Unchanged Undefeated
but never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing! He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
The world can't understand Him. Armies can't defeat Him.
Schools can't explain Him.
Herod could not kill Him. The Pharisees could not confuse Him.
Bin Laden, Hitler and Castro could not silence Him. Elections cannot discourage Him.
Congress cannot replace Him.
He is light, love and Lord. He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God.
His ways are right. His word is eternal.
He is our Redeemer our Savior our guide our peace our joy.
He will never leave us....never forsake us...never mislead us...never forget us. He is everything for everybody, everywhere, in every time and in every way.
He is God. He is faithful. We are His...and He is ours!

ABORTION: Harmful to Women
They say, “I a quick fix. It will solve your problems and allow you to go on with your life.” Reality: Few women have been told that having an abortion carries lasting physical, psychological and future-risk conse-quences. If they had been warned, would their “choice” have been abortion? - Human Life Alliance 2016-17 Stand Up publication, pg. 5; www.iwillstandup.com NEXT PARISH HOUR OF PRAYER AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD: Saturday, May 20, 10-11 a.m. Can’t stay the full hour? Stay for any length of time that works. All ages welcome. Questions call 218-368-9019.

HOSPITAL MINISTRY
“… naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Matthew 25:36 If you or a loved one has ever been hospitalized and some-one visited you and brought you communion, how did that make you feel? Did it bring you closer to God? Did you feel good knowing that prayers were being said for your recov-ery? Think about the opportunity to give back. St. Philip’s Hospital Ministry is a way to carry the healing comfort of the Gospel to hospitalized parishioners and their families by praying for them and ministering Holy Communion to them if they desire to receive. Each volunteer is asked to be re-sponsible for a visit one day per month. New volunteers will partner with an experienced minister until they are comfort-able on their own. Volunteers will be certified by Sanford. Please pray about visiting the sick. For more information, please contact Fr. Chuck, or Blake Quick at the church office, 444-4262; or Sharon Zarrett at 751-1606, or email her at [email protected].
