Ordination Mass to Be Live Streamed June 19

From the Desk Of Fr. John Congratulations to all graduates of 2020! Most of the celebrations have been moved and celebrated in different ways. We are celebrating our SSPP graduation in our church parking lot this Sunday….with all the safety precautions we are required to follow. However…we all join in congratulating our graduates for their accom-plishments and this new step in their lives. Here at SSPP Parish School we are particularly proud of our graduating 8th grade class. It will be one to be remembered…for sure. Each of the students and families have been so supportive of the whole effort to keep their children and fami-lies safe…that is very crucial…and all those be-yond family members…especially the most vul-nerable. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made…and all the growth that has taken place. We are all in this together…and we will make it through together….that is what everyone is saying now. We are required to do certain things to keep people safe…and we hope to do just that. We may think that SSPP is different…but look at all the other schools…high schools…colleges that have to do the same…and even MORE! What I see are teachers who have given more than 100% of themselves to make this a real learning experience. Parents have adjusted their schedules and lives to make sure this all happens. It is not so much different…in a way…from resetting schedules for sport activities…etc. etc. and we all seem to adjust. This is a matter of life and death…over 75,000 who have died be-cause of this virus. Now just stop and think…how many families have been devastated be-cause of this Pandemic…it is catastrophic. The numbers are staggering…all of the population of Collinsville…Maryville…Edwardsville…Caseyville…all would be wiped out and gone! We cannot play down the seriousness of all this effort to contain…and control the spread of such a deadly…deadly disease! Bishop Paprocki reminds us that ‘Social Dis-tancing’ is still in effect…with not more than 10 persons for those special religious services…a funeral…a simple wedding…possibly a baptism.

We cannot…cannot resume the public celebra-tion of Mass…as of yet. The exception is when we live-stream the Mass and other ministers are needed…a musician, deacon, lector…but not to exceed the 10 person limit. There are discus-sions under way about other options…when the time comes…gradually returning to some sched-ule of Mass celebrations, etc. Let us ask the Lord to bless all of our efforts to stay safe…and to grow in our faith and hunger for the Eucha-rist…remember…Bishop Paprocki has granted all of us the dispensation from Mass…that dis-pensation is still in effect. Ascension of the Lord…is normally celebrat-ed 40 days after Easter…which would place the Feast on a Thursday…which in the past we called ‘Ascension Thursday.’ However…most of us in the US do not get the opportunity to attend the Mass on that day…so in our Metro-politan Province of Chicago (all of Illinois)…and almost all other dioceses of the U.S., the Feast has been permanently transferred to the nearest Sunday. That means that the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated this year next Sunday May 24. At the Last Supper Jesus had so many things to remind and teach His disciples before leaving them…in His death, resurrection…and ascension. He was forming them to carry on the mission the Father had given Him. When Je-sus appeared to His disciples after His resurrec-tion, He would affirm that mission again… ‘Peace be with you…as the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ When Jesus washed His disciples’ feet, He gave them an example…as deeply and completely as He showed love for them…they were to put that into practice. By their life and ministry, they were revealing God’s unconditional love and revealing the presence of the Kingdom of God. Jesus said… ‘You will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these.’ Now we celebrate the completion of Jesus’ earthly mission…but it continues…through the disciples…through the Church enlivened by the Holy Spirit.

Food Pantry Needs Donations

The Collinsville Food Pantry is continuing to operate during the pandemic. Our St. Vincent DePaul Society is closed and members are working with the Food Pantry, including taking over SVDPS clients. The Food Pantry has stopped receiving any donations from the com-munity to try and limit expo-sure and the passing of the virus on donated items. The Food Pantry requests only monetary donations so it can order in bulk directly from the warehouse to limit the number of people who come into contact with the food items. To donate go to https://collinsvillefoodpantry.org/ and scroll down until you see the DONATE button. Or you can always mail a check to Collins-ville Food Pantry, 201 E.

Easter is a season of celebra-tion and joy. But what about times when we struggle with adversity: illness, grief, fear, or uncertainty about the future? At these moments, it may seem less clear how the Easter story is our story. We can take com-fort in knowing that this was exactly the situation for Je-sus’ friends and followers, not only during his Passion, but even in the earliest days of the Resurrection. It took time for them to recognize the reality of the Resurrection, and it can take time for us as well. The truth of the Resurrection is that God’s love is victorious. That is the essence of our faith. Love wins out over hate. Good wins out over evil. Life wins out over death. And yet, Jesus’ friends had to discover this over time in their lived ex-perience. Sometimes, so do we. Consider the ways we see the discovery of the Resurrection unfold in Scripture. Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb and finds it emp-ty, and initially she weeps, thinking that the body of her beloved one is gone and that she will never be near to Him again. She is in deep mourning. It takes time for Mary to meet the resurrected Jesus and to recognize that it is really Him and not the gardener. The Resurrection has already happened when the disciples are still hiding out in the upper room. Jesus breaks into the room against all their expectations. For them, it is an experience of utter surprise. Soon after, Thomas doubts and will not believe until he can see Jesus for himself. His experience of the world does not match the celebratory mood of the others, who have already had their Easter experi-ence. The friends who walk on the road to Em-maus spend a long time with Jesus right there in their midst, before they later recognize Him in the burning of their hearts and the breaking of the bread. He is right there, walking alongside them at every moment, yet their recognition takes time. Peter, when he is out on the boat, spots Jesus

and leaps into the sea to get to him; it might seem that Peter, at least, has no doubts as to what he is seeing. But even in his en-thusiasm and insight, it takes breakfast on the sea-shore and a talk on the beach to grow more fully into understand-ing what the Resurrection means for him, especially in terms of the healing of his companionship with the Lord. These stories and others help us to remember that it is not my ac-tion that makes Easter happen. It is not about “willing myself” into the Easter mindset. Rather, it is about taking the time to be atten-tive to God’s creative action. God’s unstoppable love resur-rected Jesus from the dead. And

it is God’s love and not my own action that will lead to our own resurrections—both our bodily resurrections (someday) and the ways we experience new life now, in the midst of fear, suffering, grief, and even death. Our part is simply to acknowledge my feelings, pay attention, wonder, and pray. If I am feeling emptiness or grief, I can bring my sense of emptiness to God and, like Mary Magda-lene, wait for God, paying attention to where I might find new life beyond the tomb. If I am feeling fear and am shut inside my own room, I can bring those fears to God and know that God will enter right into that space with me. God can surprise me beyond the confines of my own un-derstanding. If I am feeling doubt, I can express these doubts to God and, like Thomas, wonder how God invites me to touch the reality of the Resurrection. If I am feeling a desire for increased connection with God, I can let God walk with me, talk with me, and even “feed” me with the divine presence. I can let myself love God and let God love me in turn. Think about your own Easter experience. Where is there new life? Where is there wonder? Where do you see God’s love made real?
