Padre Pio’s Spiritual Communion Prayer

BULLETIN DEADLINE: TUESDAY NOON

Jesus, truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament,

I love you above all things and I desire to possess You within my Soul. Since I am unable at this moment to receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as being already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

DID YOU KNOW?...

Could you walk a mile in Jesus’ shoes? Join others in praying the Staꢀons of the Cross on Fridays during Lent as we meditate on the great love Christ showed for us in His most sorrowful Passion. Then get to know members of your St.

Why am I here? What is the life I was made for? Is there a God? Does He even care about me?

These are quesꢁons we all ask our- selves. Are there answers? Can true peace be found? The Search unapol-

ogeꢁcally reveals that you were

made for God, that your home is found beyond yourself and that Jesus is the way.

This Lent, we are inviꢁng YOU to journey through The Search with your own small group (and if you don't have a small group yet...we encourage you to start one!). Addi- ꢁonally, each week Chris Stefanick from Real Life Catholic will be guid- ing us throughout Lent on how to use The Search in our own small groups during his weekly show The Life You Were Made For.

    Babcock Family Papers

    Babcock Family papers A Guide to the collection at the Connecticut Historical Society Collection Overview Repository: Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, Connecticut Creator : Babcock family. Title : Babcock Family Papers Dates : 1788-1859 Extent : 1 linear foot (2 boxes) Location: Ms 14532 Language: English Biographical Sketch Elisha Babcock (1753-1821), his brother John Babcock, Jr. (1764-1843), and John's son, Sidney Babcock (1797-1884) all worked in the printing and publishing business in Connecticut. In addition to printing books, the Babcocks worked as publishers and wholesalers to booksellers out of state including New York, South Carolina, Louisiana and the West Indies. John Babcock, Sr. son of John and Sarah (Billings) Babcock, was born in Milton (now Quincy), Massachusetts on August 25, 1731. He married Rachel Adams in 1753. She was born on January 6, 1732 in Milton, and was a cousin to John Adams, the second President of the United States. They had ten children: Lucretia (August 13, 1755-September 25, 1824), who married William Brewer of Wilbraham, Massachusetts; Mary (born August 20, 1757), who married Zenas Bliss of Springfield, Massachusetts on September 25, 1824; Abigail (born February 11, 1762), who married Mr. Gardner of Massachusetts; Sarah (Sally), who married Ephraim Grant of Tolland, Connecticut; Rachel (born November 25, 1770), who married Dr. Nathaniel Hooker; Reuhama (or Ruhamah), who died unmarried; Samuel (born February 18, 1760), who married Miss Cone of Bolton, Connecticut; Andrew (April 19, 1773-March 29, 1789), who died unmarried at age seventeen; and two sons who joined him in the family business, John and Elisha. The Babcocks moved to Hartford soon after the Revolution, and John went into the printing business.

    Torah Stories the Mamas and the Papas Torah Family Tree

    Bet (2nd Grade) Torah Stories The Mamas and the Papas Torah Family Tree Activity #1: To review from last year, read the 3 attached Bible stories about the mamas (matriarchs) and papas (patriarchs) of the Jewish people and/or read the character descriptions below. Using the Matriarch & Patriarch Family Tree Pictures page, cut out one set of character pictures and glue or tape them on the family tree in the correct place. Abraham- Known as the “father” of the Jewish people, Abraham is thought to be the first person to believe in ONE God. Abraham and his wife Sarah left their home to come to the land of Canaan to build a home for his children, grandchildren and future family members. Sarah- As the wife of Abraham, she left her home to help make a home for the Jewish people. Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was old. Isaac- As son of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac led the Jewish people, after Abraham. Isaac and his wife Rebecca had twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Rebecca- Rebecca showed kindness by helping Isaac’s servant. She had twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Esau was strong and enjoyed hunting. Jacob stayed indoors helping with house chores. Rebecca thought Jacob should be the next leader of the Jewish people, even though it was Esau’s right as the older son. Rebecca helped Jacob trick Isaac. Isaac blessed Jacob instead of Esau and Jacob became the next leader. Jacob- Jacob was the clever, younger son of Isaac and Rebecca. With the help of his mother, Jacob became the next leader of the Jewish people.
  • 1 Connecting with God – Jonah 3:1-5,10 – January 24, 2021 Rev

    1 Connecting with God – Jonah 3:1-5,10 – January 24, 2021 Rev

    Connecting with God – Jonah 3:1-5,10 – January 24, 2021 Rev. Rachel A. Wann When we hear the name Jonah, if we remember anything at all, we know that there is a story about Jonah surviving in the belly of a whale for three days. But most of us probably don’t remember much more than that. It’s actually a pretty funny story about a very reluctant prophet. Jonah was called by God to do a task. God instructed him to go to Nineveh as a prophet and speak God’s message to the people – that God was not happy with them and was on the verge of destroying them. Nineveh was a horribly corrupt city, and frankly, Jonah didn’t want to go. He did not like the work that God had called him to do, so he decided to run away – in the opposite direction. When he got to the sea, he boarded a boat to take him even further away. Well, a deadly storm overtook them, and the seasoned sailors grew quite afraid. They began praying to their gods for deliverance. Jonah realized the storm was probably God’s response to him running away, so he told the sailors to toss him overboard. They prayed to the God of Israel, not wanting to hurt Jonah, but he finally convinced them to do so. And as soon as they did, the storm stopped. But then a large fish swallowed Jonah whole, and he lived inside its belly for three days. While there Jonah prayed to God to save him, and eventually the fish spit him out onto dry land.

    THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST August 8, 2021 Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time WELCOME Whether you’re a registered parishioner or first-time visitor, we hope you feel welcome. There are many ways to get involved. If you have any questions, please let one of our staff members know or call the parish office 253-630-0701 MISSION STATEMENT The Catholic Community of St. John the Baptist: Where stewardship is a way of life and the diversity of our gifts is used to answer Christ’s call to proclaim and live the Gospel. Gather in God’s Name, Grow in God’s Time, Go in God’s Spirit FROM YOUR PASTOR Some have asked what I like to do in my free time. I enjoy puttering around the house. Like your previous two pastors, I own my own residence. There is always something to do: something to clean or something to repair or improve. Last week I washed the windows, inside and out. As I was washing the upstairs windows I noticed that the gutters needed cleaning. After that the side walk and driveways needed washing off. The windows were rather dirty. On those wonderful sun- ny days, as rays of light shown through the glass, the dirt was much more obvious. So to in our faith lives. As we draw closer to God we become more aware of sin in our lives. Some of the greatest saints thought they were the biggest sinners. You could say awareness of sin is a good sign. If we were not close to God we would not be attentive to sin (unless you are just plain scrupulous and that’s another issue).

  • Rachel and Leah

    Rachel and Leah

    1 Rachel and Leah Like brother stories, a sister story is a narrative paradigm that construes the family primarily upon its horizontal axis. In a sister story, identity is determined and the narrative is defined by the sibling bond, as opposed to the more hierarchical parent-child relationship. As I note in my introduction, brother stories dominate the Bible. By the time we meet sisters Rachel and Leah in Genesis 29, Cain has killed Abel, Isaac has usurped Ishmael, and Jacob has deceived Esau. At the conclusion of Rachel and Leah’s sister story, brothers return to the spotlight as Joseph and his brothers become the focus of the narrative. The Bible’s prevailing trope of fraternal rivalry is essentially about patrilineal descent in which paired brothers fight for their father’s and for God’s blessing. Pairing the brothers helps focus the rivalry and makes clear who is the elder and who is the younger and who, therefore, should have the legitimate claim to their father’s property.1 There can be only one winner, one blessed heir in the patrilineal narratives. Naturally, a good story defies cultural expectations, and younger brothers, more often than not, claim their father’s and God’s blessings. Examining this motif in separate works, both Frederick E. Greenspahn and Jon D. Levenson observe how the status of the Bible’s younger sons reflects Israel’s status, and how their stories reflect Israel’s national story.2 Like Israel, younger sons have no inherent right to the status they acquire in the course of their narratives.3 And like Israel, younger sons must experience exile and humiliation to acquire their blessings.4 Isaac faces his father’s knife.

    Celebration of New Ministry Sermon from Rev. Dr

    Celebration of New Ministry Sermon from Rev. Dr. Rachel Anne Nyback Saturday, December 12 At St. Anne Episcopal Church “Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness. The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness the Darkness disappeared. The light spread until the patch of Dark Thing had vanished, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure. Then, slowly, the shining dwindled until it, too, was gone, and there was nothing but stars and starlight. No shadows. No fear. Only the stars and the clear darkness of space, quite different from the fearful darkness of the Thing.” (WIT, 87) This quote from one of my favorite children’s books A Wrinkle in Time , by the Episcopalian author of Madeleine L’Engle quickly brings into focus today’s reading from the Gospel of John. Jesus, “the true light, which enlightens everyone was coming into the world.” Although we celebrate the feast of St. Lucia today, this reading is a perfect one for Advent as well as Christmas as well as a Celebration of New Ministry. Seasonally, we are in a time of waiting in darkness, waiting for Christmas, waiting for the days to once again become longer than the night, waiting for more candles to be lit on our Advent wreath as we journey closer and closer to the birth of the light of the world, Jesus Christ. As we gather here today, to celebrate the new ministry of Phyllis and St. Anne’s we also recognize that both of you are coming out of a time of darkness and being called to kindle a much, much brighter light.

    Elisha Mulford(1833-85)

    Elisha Mulford(1833-85) and His Influence: A "Fame Not Equal To His Deserts"? UESTS AT A commemorative dinner for Elisha Mulford held on December 1, 1900 were reminded of the fragile nature of G literary reputation by a disagreement between Mulford's friends T.T. Munger and H.E. Scudder. Sara Winlock (nee Mul- ford) wrote to her mother: Mr Munger told about his early life. .and then about his books—he said at the end that his books did not sell now as they did and he doubted if 100 years from now they [sic] would be more than one sold—but no matter Father would never be forgotten. Mr Scudder got up then and said he was sorry to differ with Mr Munger but Father's books sold just as well now as they ever had since the first flush and would always sell even 100 years from now. .* In fact, Munger was right and Scudder wrong; today the name of Elisha Mulford is hardly known. Some standard histories of American thought mention him, especially as the author of The Nation (1870).2 #I am grateful to the staff of the Manuscript Room of the Sterling Library at Yale University, the Houghton Library at Harvard University, and the Library of the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Mass., for assistance and permission to publish from their holdings; to the American Council of Learned Societies for a fellowship which helped to make this and other projects possible; to the University of Canterbury for a research grant which made possible the purchase of books necessary for this and other researches, and to Professors Robert T.
