In our times, we hear that word and think of fundamentalists, radical Adult Education/RCIA Office: activists, or extremists - people who go beyond limits to 248-681-9424 achieve their goals and may not consider themselves bound Coordinator: Jeanne Martin by normal propriety or morality. Their ethos might not be [email protected] so different from James and John in today’s Gospel. “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume Worship Office: 248-681-9424 them?” This isn’t so foreign to some of the stories of the Old Minister: Linda Plotkowski Testament. Yet Jesus rebukes them. He won’t be exacting in the way his contemporaries expected. There will be no [email protected] radical rain down of fire and brimstone. Jesus is radical in Baptisms, Weddings, Funeral/Memorial Services, another way: the call to discipleship. Volunteers, and Nursing Homes “The Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.” “Let the Youth Ministry: 248-681-9424 dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the kingdom Minister: Veronica Weisenberger of God.” “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks [email protected] back to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.” These can be difficult passages to read. These are not Musicians/Choir: 248-681-9424 normal things to hear! It can be easy for many of us to avoid Pastoral Musician: David Hansen the exacting nature of the Gospel, which might not be what we think it is. James and John wanted to set the bar high for others on the outside and to punish those who didn’t meet MISSION STATEMENT: that standard. Jesus sets the bar high for his disciples, those who say they want to follow him. He may be using some “Growing in Grace, Gratitude and Giving” hyperbole, but it’s only to send a clear message. This is a radical call, one that has a cost. To truly put God and others first, before ourselves, will involve sacrifice. How is Jesus asking you to be radical today? Page 3 PRINCE OF PEACE CATHOLIC CHURCH 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time How are we in our ordinary lives supposed to understand our own call to become disciples of Christ? In our reading from 1 Kings, Elijah passes on the prophetic life to Elisha who seems to be a simple farmer. He doesn’t seem to have any special qualifications to be a prophet but he does have a farm. However, once Elisha says goodbye to his father and mother, he shows just how committed he is to prophetic life and journey. He doesn’t just say goodbye – he sacrifices his entire livelihood of 12 oxen and prepares a fire with his own plowing equipment. He then feeds his people with this sacrifice and then follows Elijah – what an example of charity and also of a new commitment. Elisha will never go back to his former life as a farmer. He is now a prophet of the Lord. We learn from this story, and many others in Scripture, that God can call any one of us from any position in life. Elisha may not have had the degree, position or pedigree to be a prophet, but he was chosen by God to be a prophet. We do know that God calls everyone to be his followers but not all in the same way. Some are asked to enter a religious community and to give up their lives for community living. Some are called to marriage – to give up individual selfishness for the good of the other. How are we supposed to understand our own call to become disciples of Christ in light of Elisha? Paul gives us a great answer: he has us remember that it was a free choice that we believed in Christ and Christ will give us the freedom to “serve one another through love”. Paul asks the Galatians and us to be people who live the Gospel command to love your neighbor as yourself. He gives us a reminder that it is by asking the Holy Spirit for assistance that we are able to live a prophetic life of faith, hope and charity – going beyond the limits we might place upon ourselves. Paul makes me laugh at times for he knows his people so well. He states that we must follow the command to do good and not evil to another “but if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another.” How true. To be people of grace and dignity, honor and prayer, we cannot be people who judge one another wrongly, gossip about those we do not care for and destroying another by bullying or any other means. To do so would be to destroy our very selves. To be disciples of Christ is to take on the extra effort to believe completely in the Gospel message – not just some parts but the whole. Jesus commands us to be people who love God and love our neighbor as ourself. And if we do that, we can take the time to live in peace with each other, praying and helping each other, going the extra mile with those in need and thanking God each day we have life. All are called to this task, this mission in life. Let each one of us be people who do good in the name of Christ to one and all and not be biting and devouring each other with the result of destroying whatever worth we have in the world.

  • July 2015 in the Last Issue, We Commemorated Renewal Ministries' 35Th Anniversary
    RENEWAL MINISTRIES Proclaiming Jesus through Catholic Renewal and Evangelization Faithful Friends, A letter from Ralph Martin, July 2015 In the last issue, we commemorated Renewal Ministries' 35th anniversary. I hope you were inspired by it. We were. We fi nd it absolutely amazing all that the Lord has done through the “yeses” of so many people over the last 35 years. Thank you for your part in it all. We celebrated the anniversary at the annual Renewal Ministries Gathering. For the fi rst time, we reached the 300-person capacity and had to close registration two weeks before it happened! We will include highlights in an upcoming issue. Recently, Bishop Lesanu Christos Matheos Semahun from Ethiopia came to visit us. He was just named the Bishop of a new diocese which happens to be where the Orthodox Church claims to have custody of the Ark of the Covenant. (It’s a long story and hard to verify since no one is allowed to see the Ark except its Guardian for Life.) You remember the Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon and marveled at his wisdom? And then the Ethiopian eunuch in the Acts of the Apostles who was baptized by the Deacon Philip? They’re all part of a long history of a very ancient Christian Church in Ethiopia. Lloyd and Nancy Greenhaw, along with Fr. Scott McCaig, CC, Moderator of the Companions of the Cross — and a member of our Canadian Board — just returned from a very fruitful trip to Bishop Semahun’s diocese (see p. 6). Also part of the mission team were Joseph and Serah Alumansi from Uganda.

During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you.

That He’s not something to learn about—a proposition to consider or choose to believe or believe in—but someONE to come to know and to relate to day by day. The Gospel’s not a fantasy from a book of tale or teaching from long ago, but a truth—the Truth—which is of life & death importance, as relevant today as 2,000 yrs ago. How was I certain? I saw it in my Mom. Prayer wasn’t just something you did Sundays at church, but rather part of everyday, every situation, because God was and IS with us always. I learned that faith is not just “spiritual speculation” but a flesh & blood matter. Far too often, far too many of us live as though we imagined God–or the gods and/or goddesses, or what- ever—lived in some distant realm, unconcerned about us (if they’re there at all); and, whether or not we really believe, yet we occasionally do things to propitiate them (i.e.
