So, to understand Jesus and His message, we Ken Danchik must work perhaps a little harder than the people of His own time, who Associate Organist were accustomed to these ways of speaking. We have stories in our [email protected] own cultures and need only to think of the stories that have been told Beverly Farinelli to us. Some of us are familiar with farming and growing crops. But all Wedding Coordinator of us can understand that a small seed might produce an enormous [email protected] plant. That is the image of the kingdom of God that we find in the Don Fellows Gospel today. What are we supposed to make of it? Perhaps we can Director of Music and Organist think that if we nurture the faith within us, it might grow. If we do not [email protected] nurture faith, generally it does not grow. If we nurture faith a lot, it can Erica Gamerro grow into a mighty plant within us. Compare this image with that of the Pastoral Associate first reading, from the Prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel tells us that God can [email protected] take life from anywhere and transplant it and it can grow into Eileen Lancos something mighty. The image that Ezekiel uses is taking the top of a Sacristan cedar tree and transplanting it and watching that top grow into a Jean Malek complete tree, even a mighty and enormous tree. Parish Secretary [email protected] Saint Paul in the second reading today, from the Second Letter to the Christina McCann Corinthians, reminds us that our hope is really in the life to come and Wedding Coordinator not in this life. All of us love this life. That is normal. But we must learn [email protected] to walk by faith rather than by the attractions of this world, the sight of Mike Pittek this world. We must begin to think in a new way and live in a new way Office Manager because the Kingdom is here in our midst now. [email protected] All the readings today speak of this capacity of God to make something Terri Taormina Director for Religious Education out of nothing. They also speak of our response to God’s work in our [email protected] lives. We can choose to walk by faith, or we can choose to live just in Ted Wojcik this world. If we walk by faith, then God can do mighty things in us. God Sacristan can let the Spirit change us from within so that our life of faith becomes the center of our life and we begin to walk only in the way of the Lord. Greg Zigray Business Manager To follow Jesus Christ is always a challenge for each one of us. [email protected] Sometimes we do not spend enough time with the Lord and so we forget his daily invitation to live with Him and to receive His Spirit and to live for the Father. Instead, we get caught up in this world and our values become of this world. The readings today invite us to live in a QUOTES OF THE WEEK new way because we know that the Lord can transform us if we hand ourselves over to Him. My sisters and brothers, we are invited to make “Just take everything exactly even a small choice today to choose the ways of the Lord. as it is. Put it in God’s hands and leave it with Him. Then you will be able to rest in Him – FROM THE HEART OF OUR PASTOR, FATHER STUBNA really rest – and start the 1. Following the Easter season and a number of special feasts, the next day as a new life.” Church returns to what is called “ordinary time.” It reminds us of ~ St. Teresa Benedicta of the the normal ebb and flow of life that invites us to a more even and Cross (Edith Stein) restful pace as summer begins to unfold. Of course, we are reminded by signs all around us that this has been anything but an “Never get tired of doing little ordinary time. Over this past year we have experienced the serious things for others. Sometimes impact of the coronavirus pandemic; we are working through significant changes in our parish and the Church; and our country those little things occupy the continues to struggle with so much division, hatred, and violence biggest part of their hearts.” that disturbs true peace and the unity of our citizens.
