What's more important to convey is, I not only survived, but also I was transformed: physically, mentally, and spiritually. "e spiritual changes are what I want to address in this article. I knew early on, my surviving the accident YVONNE CHAMBERLAIN was a miracle. Naturally, I was very thankful. I Assistant Director was appreciative of my guardian angels, who I of Campus Ministry know intervened on my behalf. I was grateful to the doctors and $rst responders, who used their spiritual gi%s to mend my body. Mostly, I thanked God for his mercy that day, $rst for sparing my life and later for saving my arm; those blessings allowed me to ful$ll a dream of working in fashion. Despite feelings of gratitude, I also experienced tremendous guilt. I felt liable for the injuries I caused others in the accident. I felt responsible for dredging up the painful memories for my family of losing my sister, who died 20 years before in a car accident not far STATIONS OF THE CROSS from where mine occurred. I even felt ashamed for not taking advantage of Stations of the Cross is scheduled for the following opportunities life had o&ered me because I felt invincible — like I had plenty Fridays during Lent, at 6 p.m. in the Chapel, unless of time to experience those things later. At times, guilt consumed me, which otherwise noted: led me to seek professional help, so I could cope. • April 5 In counseling, I was reintroduced to the Serenity Prayer; I $rst learned it as • April 12 an adolescent, in Family Change group. I began reciting it regularly. "rough • April 19 (Good Friday) at 3 p.m. recitation of the prayer and discussion with others, I came to realize I received a second chance at life for a reason. I did not know what that reason was, Learn about more opportunities to pray, to nor may I ever fully comprehend it, but that's okay. What I believe is, God's study, and to serve this Lent at: purpose in my life wasn't complete. So, He granted me more time to see it www.comonewman.org/lent come to pass. "e Serenity Prayer helped me to become comfortable with the unknown. Also, it made me realize I only need to be concerned about things within my locus of control. You see, I cannot change what happened that day, nor how my accident a&ected others. However, I can be grateful for my time THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK with my loved ones and for the support of strangers and friends, and I can respond to God's call, by taking advantage of doors He opens to me. O%en, we become self-absorbed, seeking only to ful$ll personal desires and ambitions but tune out God's call in our lives. Yet, when we respond to His requests, we can achieve more than our heart's desire, things far beyond our wildest dreams. We simply have to trust in God; follow His voice. We mustn't delay being obedient to Him. As Mark warns, "be on alert — for you do not know when the master of the house is coming" (Mark 13:35). When we face God, and He asks 'what have you done with the life I've given you?' we should be prepared to say 'Lord I have loved you $rst and foremost; I have answered your call and loved my fellow man as you have loved me.' We should then be able to support those words with actions from our daily lives; this will demonstrate to Him that our lives were not wasted vainly. One of my favorite songs, Pushing Up Daisies, sums this up best. In the lyrics, Garth Brooks describes the little "dash" on our headstone as more important than the dates on either side of it. Our dash may represent seconds, FORGIVE & BE FORGIVEN minutes, hours, days, or years, but no matter its length we have the potential to do great things with what God has given us. It's up to us to choose greatness.

They aren’t about budgets, spread- sheets or those ubiquitous Sunday en- velopes. They’re about ministry. “Specifically, they’re about maximiz- ing the ministry we can do with the re- sources we have,” stated Deacon Joseph Braddock, Chief Financial Officer for the Jefferson City diocese. The COVID-19 pandemic has tightened those resources, even as it has revealed new opportunities for charity and outreach. In that way, it has highlighted the im- portance of a Christian ethic of return- ing to God a portion of His generosity. “As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in jus- tice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord,” Bishop W. Shawn McKnight explained. That return includes a financial tithe. Parishes receive most of their mon- ey from Sunday offertory collections, which go toward carrying-out essential ministries, including Catholic schools, U.S. dollars are seen with face masks during the coronavirus pandemic in this illustration photo.

  • Fr. Tolton Catholic High School Student/Parent Handbook 2018-19
    Fr. Tolton Catholic High School Student/Parent Handbook 2018-19 1 August 1, 2018 Dear Students and Parents, Welcome to the Fr. Tolton Catholic High School community. At Fr. Tolton Catholic High School, we educate students within a community of faith founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church. As a college-preparatory school, we have high expectations for both behavior and academic performance. We are committed to providing students with a challenging curriculum and equipping them with a strong moral compass and sense of personal accountability to ensure their success in higher education. By teaching respect for the dignity of every human person, we facilitate the growth of the whole student: spirit, heart, mind, and body. The curriculum and activities are structured to challenge students on their academic and spiritual journey so that they reach their fullest potential and cultivate their unique God-given talents into a lifelong devotion to learning and serving others. Decision making in our school follows our core mission of educating each student in four pillars of sprit, heart, mind, and body as one. Within the school, decisions are also prioritized by the order of the pillars as stated. This is the core of what makes us a Catholic school community. We are proud of all our school has to offer and encourage each of you to become fully involved in our programs and activities. This Student/Parent Handbook provides you with important information about our policies, procedures, and programs. Please read the Handbook and keep it as a reference throughout the school year.

  • 5 Deacons Tapped to Intensify Marriage Ministry

Page 3 The MCC Messenger Page 13-16 October 2, 2020 • Vol. 64 No. 7 Newspaper of the Diocese of Jefferson City 5 deacons tapped to intensify marriage ministry See Official Decree on Page 2 and related article on Page 4 By Jay Nies The two shall become one flesh, and the Church will help them grow in uni- ty and holiness for the rest of their lives. Each Catholic family will see itself as both a reflection and an integral part of the Church and her mission. That is Bishop W. Shawn Mc- Knight’s goal in intensifying ministry to married couples and those who are about to be married. “The marriage bond is a unique and exclusive relationship between hus- band and wife for the sanctification of the couple and for the procreation and Christ-centered nurturing of children in a family,” Bishop McKnight stated. “Marital love is at the service of the couple, the children, the community and the world.” Toward that end, the bishop has ap- pointed five deacons to coordinate and facilitate aspects of marriage ministry throughout the diocese. For the next three years, they will help parishes promote sacramental marriage as a calling from God, worthy Doves and interlocking wedding bands symbolizing the sacrament of marriage are depicted in a stained-glass of meaningful preparation and lifelong window.
