SPIRIT AND TRUTH “Vocations: Good Measure, Pressed Down, Shaken Together, and Runneth Over” By Rev. Richard E. Barker

My dear parishioners, years ago our parish provided one priestly vocation to a religious order, Reverend Father Brady Williams who joined SOLT, the Society of Our Lady of the Blessed Trinity. For some time now, I've been praying for five more priestly vocations to serve the Catholic faithful in our archdiocese. Additionally, I'm praying for two vocations to religious life. It's not that I'm telling God what to do. But the number seven is an important biblical sign of fullness and blessing. Therefore I'm praying for seven in the sense of seeking a great harvest of workers from one little parish. May our work with the poor, especially single mothers with children, merit the inter- cession of the Blessed Virgin Mary for many new workers in God's vineyard. Thus everyone will glorify God alone who provides seminarians and religious with ". . . good measure, pressed down, shaken together, (and) running over" for the seminary in our archdiocese. Moreover, I am praying for these vocations to emerge and take root during my life- time. Therefore, my dear parishioners, if you want me to live a very long time possibly with great sadness, don't pray for these vocations. However, if you want the local Church to enjoy a long life and be well served in future generations, beseech God now for these seven new vocations! And do not stop! As for future regret, I will have none. God will grant me the joy of hope realized! Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your pastor, Reverend Richard Barker.

Steps in Littleness

“There are 50 simple steps in littleness. Try them one step at a time. Look at your struggles and temptations. You will find one step that will suit you the most at that stage in your life. Do not hurry – remember you’re little!” - Fr. Santan Pinto SOLT Step 5

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE EUCHARIST Recognize the deep hunger and thirst that you possess for the things of God.

• This hunger seeks fulfillment in the transitory things of this world. • One gets used to feeding oneself with food that quickly satisfies. • In the Eucharist the soul finds everlasting food, food that satisfies the deepest longing of the soul. • Place your desires, fears, struggles, temptations, habits, addictions, thoughts, emotions, hurts, memories, etc. in the heart of Jesus lifted in the Eucharist every moment of the day. • Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament calls you to find your home in Him. • If you are tired rest in His presence, He loves little ones asleep in His arms.
