I am the quantum quark of moment, the joy of right now,
Life’s only laughing, crying, breathing spark
I am a million billion neurons in full firework
Or complete shutdown
Or whatever best celebrates
the you who I AM made be
I am mindfulness
I am nothingness
Dear Fellow Pilgrims,
While on retreat last week with some close friends
and colleagues from the Graduate School of Theology
at St. John’s University, I was introduced to the
contemplative spiritual practice called Soul
Collaging. Without getting into the weeds with
details, it is a prayerful practice that starts by contemplating art and image in a way that inspires the
soul’s deepest voices to speak sacred truth. For
me, it proved to be spiritually powerful and revealing. I’d like to share just one poem with you that
resonated from within as I engaged the practice.
Journey well.
Peace,
Deacon Steve
To you I give my life
so you might taste the kiss of another
melt into an unknown child’s smile
dance among the dandelions
and inhale a drunkard’s draw on autumn air
I want you to remain here with me, in me
To share me freely, to love me fully
To live and never die
I am the moment who lives only once forever
I am not God alone
but through you, in you
and with the sinners next door,
together we are all that I AM
-s. james
We extend our condolences to
parishioners Sue Koeune and
Judy Brown on the recent
passing of their brother-in-law,

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring
the good news!” ~Romans 10:151
“We must be open to the action of the Spirit of God, without fear of what He
asks us or where He leads us. Let us entrust ourselves to Him! He enables us to
live and bear witness to our faith, and enlighten the hearts of those we meet . . .
bringing the Gospel means we, in the first place, must live reconciliation, forgiveness, peace, unity, love that the Holy Spirit gives us.” ~Pope Francis

In this weekend’s
Gospel Jesus says,
“Whoever does not
carry his own cross and
come after me cannot
be my disciple.” At
different times in our lives our crosses are heavier than other times. Or we may notice that our
family members or friends are having a difficult
time carrying their cross. When we look back
to Good Friday, we know that when Jesus was
struggling to carry His cross, Simon came to
help Jesus. Each time we step up to serve one
another, we are helping to carry the cross.
Another way to step up in service and To
Grow as Disciples, is to get involved and help
at the parish level. Maybe that’s where you are
being called to serve. Everyone doing their
part helps us achieve our mission and realize
our vision of Welcoming, Valuing and
Enriching all in Christ. Later this month,
we’ll be having committee selection. If
you’re interested in helping on a committee,
contact Gloria Nolan at the parish office to
discuss options. gnolan@seasgb.org or (920) 499-1546
