My Dear St. Bernadette Family,
Not as the world gives do I give peace to you.
Can we see clearly the difference between the world’s Sun. May 26 8:00 a.m. Parishioners version of peace and Christ’s? The world looks upon 10:00 a.m. + Jeff Davis peace either as a warm feeling that we are safe or an enforced truce in which there is little violence even Mon. May 27 8:00 a.m. Felix Magalong Jr. though the two sides might be harboring hatred within. Tue. May 28 8:00 a.m. + Robert Kleeman Both are short lived and not true peace. Christ’s peace begins with the decision to follow (even Wed. May 29 8:00 a.m. Guardian Angel imitate) his way of love. Self-sacrificing love empowered by the Holy Spirit. Christ’s peace comes as a by-product Thu. May 30 8:00 a.m. + Marge Landerkin ’ of how we choose to live and love. Christ s peace comes Fri. May 31 8:00 a.m. Jim Wainwright when we let go of all selfishness and seek instead justice for our brothers and sisters. Sat. June 1 4:00 p.m. Fr. James Goggins Pope Paul VI reminded the world that if we seek peace then we must live justice, work for justice and teach Sun. June 2 8:00 a.m. Brenner Family justice for all. This peace is not just a feeling, but a lot of 10:00 a.m. Parishioners work. This justice will only be achieved when we offer an earnest plea for the Holy Spirit to help us. We cannot do it alone.

That’s hugely frustrating for the people who have to work and live with me, and the truth is I would never “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have: decide at all if I weren’t eventually shamed into it.
