Year of Mercy Reflection
Volunteers Needed for Mental Health Ministry
According to statistics, on average one in four of the
people attending Mass today at Christ the King is dealing with a mental illness either as an afflicted individual,
a family member or friend. People dealing with mental
illness generally choose to keep it quiet. They hide their
illness so as not to be ostracized. To live Christ’s example is to love each individual unconditionally, to hold all
life as precious and to care for the sick. With Christ’s
example in mind, we are forming a new Mental Health
Ministry in Richland.
Today we are soliciting individuals who are willing to
give of their time and talent in the formation of this
vital ministry. We are particularly asking for the help of
mental healthcare professionals, individuals in full
recovery, family members and friends of individuals
with a severe mental illness, caregivers, or advocates.
If you are interested, please contact Sara or Thom Hall
at 509-628-9625 or by email thnov1948@gmail.com
"At nightfall, weeping enters in, but with the dawn,
rejoicing."
Nothing breaks a parent's heart like the death of a
child. In both readings today, the Lord takes compassion on a brokenhearted mother and restores her child
to life. God hears the prayers of those who mourn; He
counts every tear, and responds by doing what every
loving parent would do: gives his own life to save His
children. Death is not the victor; the Lord transforms
our mourning into dancing.
Jesus will not force us to accept His gift of eternal life,
but imagine His heartbreak when we reject Him, choosing death for our souls. This breaks the heart of a loving
Father, who mourns for His lost children. Desiring all to
be saved, our Church has declared this a Year of Mercy.
The Lord desires that all those who hide in darkness
and the shadow of death let His healing light shine upon
them. He longs to fill His beloved children with His
peace, and restore them to life.

Thomas Merton
In humility is the greatest freedom. As long as you
have to defend the imaginary self that you think is
important, you lose your peace of heart. As soon as
you compare that shadow with the shadows of other
people, you lose all joy, because you have begun to
trade in unrealities, and there is no joy in things that do
not exist.
As soon as you begin to take yourself seriously and imagine that your virtues are important because they are
yours, you become the prisoner of your own vanity and
even your best works will blind and deceive you. Then,
in order to defend yourself, you will begin to see sins
and faults everywhere in the actions of others. And the
more unreasonable importance you attach to yourself
and to your works, the more you will tend to build up
your own idea of yourself by condemning other people.
Sometimes virtuous people are also bitter and unhappy,
because they have unconsciously come to believe that
all their happiness depends on their being more virtuous
than others.

Spiritual Practices
Please Pray For:
All of the sick members of our
parish — especially these:
Ignatian Spirituality
Ignatian Spirituality teaches us how to seek companionship with Jesus, and explore what it means to know and
follow Christ as our King. So during the second phase of
the retreat, those making the Exercises pray through
the New Testament, asking for the grace to know, love,
and serve Jesus better, and spend time with Him. What
kind of king is Jesus? What does it mean to accept Jesus
as King? Do I want to follow Him? These are questions
that we begin to ask in the retreat, to discover for
ourselves who we wish to follow, and grow up our
spirituality.

Carmelite Corner
The Scapular of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel pp 1-2 (3/15)
The repose of the souls of all our beloved dead,
especially Vern Buss, Isabel Davis, and
Betty Hollenbeck.
The wearing of the Brown Scapular is a
reminder to its wearers of the saving
grace which Christ gained upon the
cross for all: “All you who have been baptized into
Christ have clothed yourselves in him” (Galatians 3:27).
There is no salvation for anyone other than that won by
Christ. The Sacraments mediate this saving grace to
the faithful.
Eucharistic Devotion
Sacramentals, including the scapular, do not mediate
this saving grace but prepare us to receive grace and
dispose us to cooperate with it.
SUNDAY HOLY HOUR/FRIDAY ADORATION
In the Chapel on Sundays, 1:30—2:30 p.m. and
Fridays: Exposition at 8:30 a.m., Adoration
all day, Benediction at 5 p.m.
Stories and legends abound in Carmelite tradition about
the many ways in which the Mother of God has
interceded for the Order; especially in critical moments
of its history.
Most enduring and popular of these traditions, blessed
by the Church, concerns Mary’s promise to an early
Carmelite, Saint Simon Stock, that anyone who remains
faithful to the Carmelite vocation/chrisms until death
will be granted the grace of final perseverance.
However, all grace, including that of final perseverance,
is won for us by the Passion, Death and Resurrection of
the Lord.
Simply wearing the Brown Scapular does not confer
that same result.
