STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and
truth.” 1 John 3:18
How do we love in deed and truth? The answer is through
stewardship—giving some of our time to spend with Our
Lord in prayer, giving some of our talents to do ministry in
the parish, giving some of our financial blessings to support
the work of the Church.

Joel Osteen has built
Lakewood Church into one of
the largest congregations in the
United States. Week after week
he fills the Compaq center in
Houston with inspirational
homilies. Here is a story taken from his book “Every Day
a Friday.” In a chapter titled “Be A Dream Releaser” he
has the following to say: “Give up your comfort to
comfort others. Jesus told us about the Good Samaritan
who was riding his donkey and saw a man who had been
beaten and left for dead on the roadside. He lifted the
injured man onto his donkey and took him to a place
where he could recover. I love the fact that the Good
Samaritan let the injured man ride while he walked
because sometimes to comfort others, you may have to
give up your own comfort. Sometimes you have to trade
places with those you are hurting. To be a healer, you
will be inconvenienced. You might have to miss dinner
in order to wipe away a tear. You might have to skip a
workout to help a couple work through their challenges.
You may even have to drive across town and pick up that
co-worker struggling with an addiction and then bring
him to church. A true healer doesn’t mind
inconvenience, or taking risks in the course of reaching
out to those who truly need a hand up. Jim Bakker, the
fallen minister and co-host of the PTL club television
show, went to prison for five years on fraud convictions.
When he was about to be released, Franklin Graham, Bill
Graham’s son, contacted him and said his family had
rented him a house and provided a car for him.
“Franklin, you can’t do that,’ Bakker told him. ‘I have
too much baggage. You’ll be criticized. Your ministry
can’t be associated with me.’ Franklin said, ‘Sure we
can, Jim. You were our friend before, and you will be
our friend afterward.’ The first Sunday after his release,
Jim Bakker was living temporarily in a halfway house as
a condition of the court. Ruth Graham, Billy Graham’s
wife, called the place and asked the man in charge if Jim
could have permission to leave and come to church with
the Grahams that Sunday. The judge agreed. When Jim
entered the Church, they ushered him right down to the
very front row and sat him next to Franklin Graham. The
Grahams had ten or fifteen family members there. There
were two vacant seats next to Jim Bakker before the
music started. He didn’t know who they were for. But
when the music kicked up, a side door opened and out
walked Billy and Ruth Graham. They sat right next to
Jim Bakker. He had been out of prison only forty-eight
hours, but the whole world was put on notice that the
Grahams still considered Jim Bakker a friend.” The
Grahams were loving Jim Bakker back into wholeness.
They were acting as healers. This is how our lives will
bear fruit if we befriend the friendless.

LOVE THEM BOTH
The majority in our country is
now pro-life as a result of many prayers and the growing realization of the damage abortion is doing. Still,
teenagers have over 300,000 abortions yearly.
“Every 36 seconds in America a women lays her body
down, forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical
resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection
that society has failed women.” (Patricia Heaton)

Fifth Sunday of Easter
Introduction-Liturgy of the Word:
As the world of nature blossoms with the fresh growth of
springtime, today’s Easter season liturgy bids us sing a new
song to the Lord. Through holy baptism God has worked
wonders, helping the Church grow through the gift of new
members, joining all of us as living branches to Christ the
true Vine. Through the strength this celebration of the
Eucharist bestows, may we glorify God by bearing much
fruit and becoming more faithful disciples of the Risen
Jesus.

MATRIMONY
A beautiful sacrament full of blessings, romance, love, commitment,
comedy, giving, new life, joys, sorrows, adventure, challenges,
responsibilities, growth, memories and more.
“This 4th of February will be the mightiest day in the history of our
lives, the holiest and the most generous toward us both—for it makes
of two fractional lives a whole; it gives to two purposeless lives a
work, and doubles the strength of each whereby to perform it; it gives
to two questioning natures a reason for living and something to live
for; it will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the
flowers, a new beauty to the earth, a new mystery to life and it will
give a new revelation to love, a new depth to sorrow, a new impulse
to worship. In that day the scales will fall from our eyes and we shall
look upon a new world. Speed it!”

HEALTH TIP MAY 2012
These days with many people owning the new phones
(iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Windows phones) health
information is literally at your finger tips any time you need
it. There are apps for health, wellness, diet and fitness as
well as many others. “APP” is an abbreviation for application
software. Many of these apps can be obtained for as little as
$1 and the majority are under $5. Many health and fitness
magazines also offer apps for their publications. Some of
the diet related apps include calorie trackers, body mass index (BMI) calculators and weight-loss plans. If you want to
check on a particular symptom you can download the free
WebMD app from iTunes or www.webmd.com/
mobile. This is a reputable source for medical information
but as always no app can ever replace your doctor’s advice
so speak with him/her as well.

DEFENDING OUR
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Recently, the five Connecticut democratic candidates
running for the nomination for the U.S. Senate stated
that they would support the idea of allowing abortions to
be performed at Catholic hospitals. Abortions are a violation of the natural law and are prohibited by the four
Catholic hospitals in Connecticut. As in the case of the
federal health care mandate, we cannot permit the government to trample on our religious freedom by requiring us to go against our religious convictions.
Please contact the offices of your Congressional Representatives and United States Senators to express your
opposition to the mandate. For addresses and phones
numbers, please visit: www.ctcatholic.org or
www.norwichdiocese.org.
