Dear St. Edward Parish Family: In the Gospel reading for this Sunday, Jesus states the Great Commission. He still repeats it today and at the end of EVERY Mass when, through the priest, He sends us on our way. “Go,” He says. “Go and make disciples wherever I send you.”
A disciple is a student (see how the word discipline is related to disciple). Think of people you know who are mere followers of Christ, adult Catholics who stopped their religious education a long time ago. Their faith is not enough to change the world, because they live more like the world than like holy representatives of Christ. Or they live more miserably, less joyfully than those who know how much Jesus cares about them. Or they are unpleasant to be around, because they have not developed enough humility to exude Christ.
WE are called to disciple them! Jesus has commis-sioned you and I to do it. It’s not impossible to do. Take apart the word “commission” to see that you are “with” (“co”) Jesus on His “mission.” He says, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” This means that, when we share in Christ’s mission, we share in His power.
If we are more than mere followers and have been disciples learning how to be fully alive in the Holy Spirit of Christ, He will give us the words and the opportuni-ties to teach others to observe and understand what He has commanded.
With Christ, we can change hearts by teaching the people around us what it means to be a follower of Christ who also learns from Christ. We teach first by our example, but unless this is backed up with explana-tions of why we follow Christ, those whom we hope to influence will make no new discoveries about God’s love, the benefits of God’s commandments, or the need for God’s merciful forgiveness.
“Behold!” He adds as an exclamation point on the Great Commission, “I am with you always. Together we will change the world one disciple at a time.”
May God Bless and Keep you always! Fr. Rick

It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abor-tion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness. Save One is a biblical based support group for those suffering the pain, guilt and sadness following abortion. Join us for an 8 week confidential, nonjudgmental journey to hope and healing. Meeting Sunday June 4th, St. Teresa of Avila, Valparaiso, 6:30—8:00 p.m. Call Roseanne 219-552-2944. Calls confidential.
