We don’t know the big plan. And it can be hard to a really unfair label to give Saint Thomas, who is front and see past the short-term situation we may be in. I think of Saint center in this week’s Gospel. He is not there when Jesus comes Charles de Foucauld, the saint who ministered to the Muslims in the first time; perhaps upset and troubled about what has Algeria. He once said something to the effect of it maybe just happened and needing to take some time alone. The first time being his job to till the soil when he hadn’t gotten any converts Jesus comes everyone present sees the wounds in His hands and to Christianity. God is working things out, and with God all side as He says “peace be with you.” When Thomas has this things are possible. Sometimes His timeline and ours differ, but opportunity, he says “My Lord and My God,” one of the boldest ultimately things work out because God is in control. proclamations of faith in the Bible. His eyes see a man; but he knows this is God. And Thomas will lay down his life for the Fourth, believe in God but also in yourself. God has put you faith. and me here for a reason, and when we discern our mission, we have to remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Trusting that As we go through life, as we all know there are frequently God has a plan, and discerning what that is, it can be tempting valleys that we go through. Like Thomas before coming to know at times to give up when things aren’t going well. But as I said, the resurrection has happened, we can feel quite dejected at Thomas came back to the room, and ultimately he died for the times. Obviously it goes without saying the last year has been faith. While I’ve had some challenges as a priest, I’ve never incredibly challenging with the pandemic, and even though we doubted that this is what God asked me to do with my life for have hopes now it is beginning to wane, there are still so many my vocation. Inevitably we may doubt at times how we do as a challenges for us all. We all face our own mortality. We can be parent, a spouse, a priest, or whatever our vocation is. We may hurt by others decisions. We make mistakes and let ourselves look back at our shortcomings and be frustrated when we make and others down. We see so much evil in the world that at times a mistake again. But inside all of us, as we heard during the it can be overwhelming. But the question is what do we do when Easter vigil reflecting on Genesis and creation, is such good. the doubts come at us about what is going on and will it ever God sees this, and we need to as well, knowing He’ll see us get better and where God is in all this? How do we make through but also that He believes in us. peace with the doubts? Fifth, have patience. Again, know you will fail at times in your As a starter, we remember there’s a difference between vocation; you’ll make mistakes and fall back into a sin; you’ll let doubt and despair. Despair is where we give up on God someone down. This patience though we also need to have with completely. Doubt is where we question. Thomas this week in the other people. It can be so hard when people make bad Gospel wasn’t present when Jesus came the first time. But decisions, or we wonder why a person has seemingly lost their remember, the others doubted too until they saw the wounds way. This patience is tempered by staying involved in their lives and heard the words “peace.” Thomas though then sees the - note the first reading says the apostles “bore witness to the wounds and touches the Lord and says “my Lord and my God.” resurrection of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 4:33). We do this by His eyes see a man; his heart knows God is there. What a lovingly meeting people where they are at and challenging profession of faith. Jesus surely must have experienced doubts them when they are doing something immoral or falling away too in the garden before His death. But He and Thomas trusted. from the faith, but it must always be done wisely; admonishing Thomas wasn’t there the first time Jesus came; maybe he left to or shaming does not work. But a conversation in private or ask God some questions in prayer. But he didn’t keep on listening first before giving some advice can go a long way. walking. He went back to the room; Jesus left the garden and However it takes time for the seeds to grow, and it can be picked up His cross. We need to remember there is more to the frustrating when a person seems to “not get it” or we ourselves story than meets the eye when things are going bad, and trust fall into a sin. God never gives up on us though. So let’s strive to that God has a plan and better days are ahead. be patient, because eventually God’s grace can do so much in a soul. Second, remember faith isn’t contingent upon feelings. Sometimes God feels very close. Think of holding your child for And lastly, look to others to help build your faith. Thomas was the first time if you’re a parent, or having a tea party with your not alone in that room; the others were with him, and helped him 4 year old little girl and her stuffed animals. Then think about complete his mission. Seek people out, especially if you are getting a door slammed in your face and that same child being having doubts about God, the future, or yourself - people who enraged with you for saying no you can’t go to that party when will support but also listen to you, and help to run the marathon they are 15. The point is the parent doesn’t stop loving their of life with you. Remember it was because of Mary of Magdala child, even if the love in one situation might seem like it’s not that Peter and John left the room the first time, and found the being returned. In our prayer life, sometimes God may feel far empty tomb. The same is true with others who lead us to Jesus away. Or we may pray and not feel like we’ve gotten an when we are doubting and afraid. answer. These feelings, or lack of them, can go on for a while. But in these moments, it’s important to keep trusting. Silence does Padre Paul’s Pondering continued on page 4 not mean God is refusing to act. STEWARDSHIP ST.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 414 687 EC 306 032 AUTHOR Reis, Sally M.; Hebert, Thomas P.; Diaz, Eva I.; Maxfield, Lori R.; Ratley, Michael E. TITLE Case Studies of Talented Students Who Achieve and Underachieve in an Urban High School. Research Monograph 95120. INSTITUTION National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, Storrs, CT. SPONS AGENCY Office of Educational Research and Improvement (ED), Washington, DC. PUB DATE 1995-09-00 NOTE 284p. CONTRACT R206R00001 PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC12 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; Asian Americans; Black Students; Case Studies; Cultural Differences; Disadvantaged Youth; Family Environment; *Gifted; *High Achievement; High School Students; High Schools; Hispanic Americans; Homogeneous Grouping; Parent Participation; Poverty; Puerto Ricans; *Resilience (Personality); Self Esteem; Sex Differences; Social Support Groups; Student Characteristics; *Underachievement; *Urban Education; White Students ABSTRACT This 3-year study compared characteristics of high ability students who were identified as high achievers with students of similar ability who underachieved in school. The 35 students attended a large urban high school comprised of 60 percent Puerto Rican students, 20 percent African American, and the remainder White, Asian, and other. Qualitative methods were used to examine the perceptions of students, teachers, staff, and administrators concerning academic achievement. The study found that achievement and underachievement are not disparate concepts, since many students who underachieved had previously achieved at high levels and some generally high achieving students experienced periods of underachievement. A network of high achieving friends was characteristic of achieving students. No relationships were found between poverty and underachievement, between parental divorce and underachievement, or between family size and underachievement.

  • 1 | Page the LIGHTNING THIEF Percy Jackson and the Olympians
    THE LIGHTNING THIEF Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Book 1 Rick Riordan 1 | Page 1 I ACCIDENTALLY VAPORIZE MY PRE-ALGEBRA TEACHER Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe what-ever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside-stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a mat-ter of time before they sense it too, and they'll come for you. Don't say I didn't warn you. My name is Percy Jackson. I'm twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York. 2 | Page Am I a troubled kid? Yeah. You could say that. I could start at any point in my short miserable life to prove it, but things really started going bad last May, when our sixth-grade class took a field trip to Manhattan- twenty-eight mental-case kids and two teachers on a yellow school bus, heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to look at ancient Greek and Roman stuff.

  • Lecture 3, Federal Reserve and the Financial Crisis
    The Federal Reserve and the Financial Crisis The Federal Reserve's Response to the Financial Crisis, Lecture 3 George Washington University School of Business March 27, 2012, 12:45 p.m. [Applause] Chairman Bernanke: Hello, welcome back. So, as Professor Fort says today we want to talk about the Federal Reserve's response to the financial crisis. Now let me--in the last couple of lectures I've mentioned a key theme of the lectures which is the two main responsibilities of central banks, financial stability and economic stability. Let me turn it around just a bit and talk about the two main tools. For financial stability, the main tool the central banks have is lender of last resort powers by providing short-term liquidity to financial institutions, replacing lost funding. Central banks as they have for, you know, number of centuries, can help calm a financial panic. For economic stability, the principal tool is monetary policy, of course in normal times, that involves adjusting the level of short-term interest rates. Now, today I will be focusing primarily on the intense phase of the financial crisis in 2008, 2009, and so I'll be focusing primarily in the lender of last resort function of the central bank. I'll come back to monetary policy in the final lecture when we talk about the aftermath and recovery. Now, last time, this is just a repeat from last time, I talked about some of the vulnerabilities in the financial system that transformed the decline in housing prices which by itself seemed no more threatening than the decline in dot-com stock crisis.

  • But Is “Good” Going Bad?
    SAFEWAY HAS BEEN A GOOD GROCERY STORE... A FEW REASONS WHY: • PROTECTION & STABILITY: A good, unionized job with decent hours and a pension • 100% EMPLOYER PAID BENEFITS: Benefits for part-time and full- time employees • SOLIDARITY: A sense of community and a positive work environment • HAPPY CUSTOMERS: Who receive world class service from union members • SOLID BRAND: Safeway is a respected and iconic Alberta brand Part-time employees have been able to negotiate improvements to their hours entitlements, benefits, and protect their work from being done by outside vendors. Full-time employees have always been able to negotiate improvements to their job security and premium pay. Safeway workers have a voice and have used it to make the employer understand their contribution to the company’s success. BUT IS “GOOD” GOING BAD? Sobeys’ 2013 botched takeover of Canada Safeway turned rotten as quickly as that banana on your kitchen counter. Now, Sobeys bosses face charges at the Labour Board for misrepresenting facts and keeping secrets from Safeway employees. Those employees are left with all the anxiety associated with the mess. HERE’S WHAT SOBEYS WANTS TO DO TO SAFEWAY EMPLOYEES: • REFUSAL TO CONTINUE TO FULLY FUND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: They want employees to start paying up to 25% of benefit costs • WORSE SCHEDULING RULES: Less notice of schedule changes and no penalty when they screw it up; less time off between shifts; reduced overtime rights; pay only the bare minimum for stat holiday pay • FEWER FULL-TIME JOBS & FEWER HOURS FOR PART- TIME EMPLOYEES: Little or no chance of full-time and no guarantee of keeping the full-time jobs you currently have.
