Mission Appeal
This Weekend
Msgr. John Cervini from our diocese has been serving the people of the Dominican Republic in our diocesan
mission for many years. He will make an appeal for our support this weekend at all Masses.
FromthePastor’sDesk
At all of our Masses during these fifty days of
celebrating Easter, the first reading is from the Acts of
the Apostles. In this first book after the Gospels, we
see the emergence of the first generation of the
Church after the death of Jesus. It begins with the
account of the Ascension of Jesus followed by
replacing Judas with Matthias as the twelfth Apostle. In
chapter two we have the account of Pentecost where
the Holy Spirit descends upon the followers of Jesus
and they begin their public ministry of proclaiming the
Good News of Jesus who is with them always and at
the same time building up the Church. We see how the
Apostles went from being filled with fear,
disappointment, and discouragement to people of
conviction and joy in Jesus. The pariah to the religious
leaders who crucified Him really is the Son of God, the
Son of God who loves us and radically changes the
lives of those who allow Him into their hearts.
Who or what has radically changed our lives? As
we get older we look back and see that we have done
things and been involved in situations we would never
have thought possible or ever imagined. You who are
parents look at the difference your children have made
in your lives. Without them you would probably never
know, understand, or experience the joy of giving
yourselves so completely to another human being. The
children you have given life now live in you and you
live in them. In the Acts of the Apostles we see how
the Risen Jesus lived in His disciples and how they
lived in Him. Can we say Jesus lives in us as deeply or
even more deeply than any person we have ever
experienced or let into our lives?
In Psalm 42 which was part of morning prayer this
past week in the breviary we prayed:
Like the deer that yearns
for running streams,
so my soul is yearning
for you, my God.
My soul is thirsting for God,
the God of my life;
when can I enter and see
the face of God?
As I reflect on these verses I think about how I
should and need to long for God in the depths of my
heart. Each one of us is created in the very image and
likeness of God and have an inner longing that only He
can satisfy. To substitute anything or anyone for the
thirst that only God can and will satisfy is to continually
look for fulfillment in money, material things, power, or
changes in people that we think will make us happier
but in the end do not. Prayer is essential and key to
satisfying our thirst for God. As long as prayer is
just one more thing I have to do each day we will
miss the nourishment only the presence of God can
bring. Prayer is the blessing of being in the
presence of God, opening our minds and hearts to
Him. Is that not what we do with those who are an
intimate and central part of our lives? Relationships
take time, energy, commitment, and love. How fully
alive we feel and grateful we are for the people who
know and love us for who we are and appreciate
our presence in their lives. The disillusioned
Apostles came to understand and believe that
Jesus knew them and loved them with all His
heart. They went from locking doors when they
gathered to going out and publicly living and sharing
who they were as followers of Jesus.
In the book I am currently reading for spiritual
nourishment, Eager to Love by Richard Rohr, a
Franciscan priest, he says that unless prayer is
sincere, open to God, and from a heart longing for
God, we will be narcissistic and negative rather than
filled with love and joy. We certainly live in a society
that focuses on individualism where what “I” want,
need, and think should be done is very important.
Faith, which prayer nurtures, reminds us that all that
I am and all that I have are gifts from God and those
who are part of my life. Our society is very critical of
those who have done wrong and those who the
media judge as being out of step with currently
accepted norms, which are not based on eternal,
God given truths, but on a distorting and alienating
idea of freedom. Jesus and His Apostles after Him
did not fit in with the norms and ideals of their
contemporary world. But as Jesus lived in the
Father and the Father lived in Him, so they lived in
Jesus and He lived in them. As Jesus knew love
and joy in His life through the Father, so the
Apostles and all the disciples of Jesus knew love
and joy in Him. Love brings joy and makes us fully
alive. The love of God satisfies our ultimate thirst
for life, hope, and peace and fills us with true joy. In
the Gospel of St. John (15:11-12) Jesus says, “I
have told you this so that my joy may be in you and
that your joy may be complete. This is my
commandment, that you love one another as I have
loved you.” Love and joy are inseparable. To be
loved by God is to be a source of joy for us and to
love God and one another as He has loved us is a
source of joy to Him and all whose lives we touch.

2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal
Serving God by Serving Others
A Place to Call Home
Charles spent 17 years deployed at military bases throughout the world. Returning home after an incident
involving nerve gas, he began struggling with debilitating bouts of anxiety and depression.
His circumstances worsened and he couldn’t maintain a steady job. Charles moved in with his mother, but within
a year she died and his childhood home went into foreclosure.
Catholic Charities’ Project Veterans’ Independence, which guides homeless veterans into permanent housing so
they can live independently and have access to support networks that get them back on their feet, reached out
and helped Charles.
“I was out of the service, out of a family, out of a job and out of a home. Catholic Charities found me and
helped me to not only find a place to live - but they helped me to turn my life around.”
- Charles, honorably discharged US Veteran

Please continue to say the following prayers each day
as we seek God’s guidance, strength and courage
Gracious God, we are your people embraced by your love. We thank you for your presence with us throughout all time.
Create us anew. Liberate us from that which keeps us from you. Enable us to recreate our world and restore justice.
Heal us from every form of sin and violence. Transform us to live your Word more profoundly. Reconcile us so enemies
become friends. Awaken us to the sacred; nurture our relationships; enliven our parishes; reunite our families. Fill us with
joy to celebrate the fullness of life. Empower us to be a community of love growing in your likeness. Amen.
Thank you Father for the gift of life. Thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus. May my gratitude inspire and sustain me in
doing everything I can to respect the lives of all people and to do all in my power to end abortion and everything else that
harms, abuses, or threatens human life. Give me the courage and strength to live in your image each day. Amen.
Please pray the following prayer for our brothers and sisters in the
Middle East who are suffering terrible persecution for their faith:
Lord, the plight of our brothers and sisters is deep and the suffering of Christians is severe and frightening. Therefore,
we ask you Lord to spare their lives to grant them patience and courage to continue their witness of Christian values
with trust and hope. Lord, peace is the foundation of life; Grant us the peace and stability that will enable us to live with
each other without fear and anxiety, and with dignity and joy. Glory be to you forever.
The symbol to the right (the Arabic letter “N” for Nazarene) is being used

News & Notes from Catholics
for Freedom of Religion
"We ask peace and freedom for the many men and women
subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of
criminal individuals and groups."
- Pope Francis' Easter message, 2015
Christian Students Killed & Kidnapped:
* Kenyan university students, mostly Christian, were
massacred on April 2, 2015. "The attackers asked people
whether they were Christian or Muslim, then I heard
gunshots and screams", said student Susan Kitoko, as
Christian students were killed by Somali militant group alShabaab. "The mistake they made was to say 'Jesus,
please save us', because that is when they were
immediately shot," said student Reuben Mwavita, when he
saw female students begging for mercy. A total of 147
students were slain. 80% of Kenya's population is
Christian. (www.the guardian.com, 4/4/15)
* Nigerian girls, mainly Christian, were kidnapped while
taking exams at boarding school in April, 2014. "The over
200 Chibok girls have converted to Islam, which they
confess is the best religion. Either their parents accept this
and convert too or they can die," said a Boko Haram leader.
Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden." A
report by Human Rights Watch reported these 200+ girls
were among over 500 Christian girls and women who have
been abducted since 2013. They are forced to marry,
convert, are repeatedly raped and become slaves.
(www.latimes.com, 10/27/14; huffingtonpost.com, 11/1/14)
"Brethren, we came to this country
(America) to practice our religious
liberties, and if we don't get involved,
we're going to lose them." Rev. John Peter

Reflections on the Sunday Scriptures
April 26, 2015
The Fourth Sunday of Easter
Readings: Acts 4: 8-12; 1 John 3: 1-2;
John 10: 11-18
Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd. A good
shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired
man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not
his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep
and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters
them. This is because he works for pay and has no
concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I
know mine and mine know me, just as the Father
knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down
my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not
belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they
will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one
shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I
lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one
takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have
power to lay it down, and power to take it up again.
This command I have received from my Father.”
Attention

Children and Family Reflections:
Who are some of the people who guide you

helped you?

Creating a Culture of Protection
Child Abuse Prevention Month, April 2015

for adults to learn red flag behaviors and to report
concerns to supervisors. This creates a culture of
protection. Sign up for a safe
environment training even if you are not
required. To find out more about the
Virtus Program and schedule of classes

thoughtful innovations like our new, private postpartum unit. In
this peaceful setting, experienced nurses help you recover from
delivery in a warm, pampered and homelike atmosphere. After
