Whatever . . . from Fr. Robert

I just spent an hour writing an article on why I am enforcing wearing masks in our buildings. I started to run down the list

reasons why we should and listed my answers to those who don't believe it is necessary. But let's face the reality, I am never

going to convince those who have made up their minds and they are not going to convince me to back off from enforcing the

policy of our Diocese.

I came down to one thing and I have been saying this for months now: I NEED TO DO WHATEVER IS REQUIRED TO

MAKE SURE PEOPLE CAN RECEIVE THE SACRAMENTS. Parishioners need to feel it is safe to return to Mass! It seems

to me that following the rules and being uncomfortable is a reasonable price to receive the Sacraments. And lastly, Jesus

suffered on the cross for us, can't we wear a mask for Him? I'M DONE! (if I had a microphone I would drop it now and walk

away).

We will be able to return to using our confessionals this weekend. We installed a small vent over the door that will move stale

air out. Along with the large attic vent fans above the sanctuary in the church, this helps to keep the air fresh. Many have asked

me why we have the air conditioning on and one or two windows open. This was a recommendation from the diocese to

maintain fresh air.

In the Gospels, Christ lays down certain rules of life, or ways to conduct ourselves, which must be followed in order to inherit

the Kingdom of God. These are namely, the Ten Commandments, or the Decalogue if you will. The Person of Jesus Christ

fulfills the Old Law through His life, death, and resurrection. Jesus shows us what love is and how to do it by doing it

Himself; that love is a sacrifice of the will. “No one has greater love than this than to lay down his life for his friends” (John

15:13). Jesus goes a bit further than the Ten Commandments in Matthew’s Gospel (chapter 19). A young man asks Jesus

what is necessary for salvation and Jesus replies “keep the commandments.” The young man pressed further and Jesus

replied, “If you wish to be perfect go, sell what you have and give to the poor…then come follow me” (Matthew 19:16). This

is where we, in the Catholic Tradition, get the Evangelical Counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

I want to briefly comment on both sacrifice and obedience in light of the current situation we find ourselves in – specifically

the wearing of masks at Mass. I will admit that I have complained about wearing masks. They are uncomfortable, hot, and

annoying. But, I have to remember why I wear one in public. It’s not about me but rather the other person – the elderly

woman in the front pew, the young man who is taking care of his elderly parents, and the kids that I don’t want to get sick.

What a great way to grow in sacrificial love and the counsel of obedience!

Why do I wear a mask? 1) I don’t know if I have COVID-19. It is clear people can spread the disease without showing

symptoms. 2) I don’t know if the person(s) I interact with have COVID-19 themselves. I don’t know everyone’s personal

situations at home – who they are caring for, who they have been around, etc. 3) I want my community to thrive, businesses

to stay open, and employees to stay healthy. 4) Quite frankly, I’ve had the disease and I really don’t want it again nor would I

wish it upon you. It’s an awful experience! I would argue that we priests are at a little more risk to getting it based on the

number of people we interact with.

God is doing so much during this time. Let’s take a step back in the spirit of humility to see that God is giving us another

opportunity to grow in sacrificial love and obedience. Let’s not waste the opportunity. As St. Paul writes about Christ, “…he

humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8).

The Family Fully Alive . . .

Welcome . . .

Reflection:

Just say thank you. I used to have a problem with accepting gifts or compliments. It

took my boss (who happened to be a religious sister) to retrain me to gracefully receive.

“Just say thank you,” she coached. Since she had taken a vow of poverty, she had very

few possessions, but because she was so beloved, many wanted to give her gifts. She

was so grateful for the smallest thing, said thank you from the heart...and promptly gave

the gift away to someone she deemed had a greater need or could use cheering up. The

gift-givers then came to me wanting my advice, “What gift can we give Sister that she

won’t give away?”

My answer was both “you can’t” and “you already have.” I would explain that Sister

was blessed by feeling grateful when receiving a gift, and blessed again by sharing that

gift with another. Both giver and receiver were rewarded.

Being twice blessed reminds me of this Gospel. When we are giving even a small thing

because “the little one is a disciple” we have pleasure in giving. And there’s more! Jesus

says we will have eternal reward because of it. Amazing.

Lord, since all I have came from you, I say thank you. I can often be obtuse, so please

show me ways I can share these gifts with your children. MMF Scripture Alive . . .

2Corinthians chapter 10 has much to say about our attitude when giving. This is just a part of verse 11: “You are being enriched in every way for all generosity”. Go ahead, look it up.

JUNE 28, 2020 MT 10:37-42

Jesus said to his apostles: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple— amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, Sandy Shaker . . . .

In our first reading today from the Second Book of

Kings, we hear of a woman of influence who

recognized Elisha for being a holy man of God and she

asked him to dine with her.

My question is, what did she recognize in Elisha that

made her identify that he was holy?

Have you ever noticed if you call someone holy today,

they laugh, sputter and proceed to tell you they are not

holy. If you answered, "thank you," then it feels like

you are a Pharisee and your head is growing larger,

right?

We are all called by God to be holy. ("As he who

called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of

your conduct, for it is written, ‘Be holy because I (am)

holy.’ )1 Peter 15-16. Did you notice it is a call to be

holy, not a suggestion ?

When we receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, one

of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit is Piety. We need this

Gift of Piety, because it helps us to approach God with

reverence and prayer. It inspires us to love God as our

Heavenly Father because He is worthy of our love. This

is a start to our path of holiness.

Every time we attend Mass and receive Eucharist, we

are being filled with the Holy Spirit and are being

equipped with grace that will lead us to holiness .

When we falter on this path, God takes care of that too.

He gives us the Sacrament of Reconciliation where we

meet Jesus in the confessional, confess our sins, and try

once again to follow our call to holiness.

So my friends, the next time someone recognizes

holiness in you, smile, thank them, and then when you

get home, fall our your knees and give glory to God for

working in your life!

Peace & Joy,

Sandy

WHATDODEACONSDO?1570 Deacons share in Christ's mission and grace in a

special way. The sacrament of Holy Orders marks

them with an imprint (“character") which cannot be

removed and which configures them to Christ, who

made himself the "deacon" or servant of all. Among

other tasks, it is the task of deacons to assist the

bishop and priests in the celebration of the divine

mysteries, above all the Eucharist, in the distribution

of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing

marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and

preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in

dedicating themselves to the various ministries of

charity.

1571 This permanent diaconate, which can be

conferred on married men, constitutes an important

enrichment for the Church's mission. Indeed it is

appropriate and useful that men who carry out a

truly diaconal ministry in the Church, whether in its

liturgical and pastoral life or whether in its social

and charitable works, should "be strengthened by the

imposition of hands which has come down from the

apostles. They would be more closely bound to the

altar and their ministry would be made more fruitful

through the sacramental grace of the diaconate."

Catechism of the Catholic Church

In the Catholic Church, the diaconate is the first of

three ranks in ordained ministry. Deacons preparing

for the priesthood are transi onal deacons. Those not

planning to be ordained priests are called permanent

deacons. Married men may be ordained permanent

deacons, and single men may be ordained with a

commitment to celibacy.

CALLED

Deacon Dan is away this week. We take a look at the vocation he was called to.

In The Joy of the Gospel Pope Francis describes par-ishes which are "capable of self-renewal and constant adaptivity... the Church living in the homes of her sons and daughters" (Evangelii Gaudium, 27).

Which do you think we are? I HOPE we are becom-ing a parish that is becoming renewed through this season of Covid-19 and it’s demand that we focus on building up the church in our homes. What the Church is on a large scale, the family is on a small scale…. [Youcat,1655]

This column has for a few weeks focused on empha-sizing the “fun” and “lively” aspects of the Church of the Home….Celebrating the feasts and seasons is so much fun! Living out the Church Year at home though decorations, foods, games, stories and activi-ties is a great way to begin to envision the connection between Church and home, and to get family mem-bers, who might otherwise be reluctant, involved. Fun traditions can “break the ice” when it comes to “being religious” outside of Sunday and Church.

What might the next step be? I think introducing a simple routine of prayer might be a good way to go. If you do not already say a prayer before meals, start that. Our traditional, “Bless us, O Lord…” prayer is fine, but be sure to get the words right: Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts…. But any meal prayer is fine!

If a meal prayer is already habit, what is the next “easiest” time of day to get a habit going? Consider Night prayer or Morning Prayer. Don’t worry about making your prayer time “too short”. If you start with an Our Father, it’s a beginning, and once you have a habit underway, it’s

easier to extend the time or make “improvements”.

CELEBRATIONS!

Mary Elizabeth Bergum died June 3, 2020. Funeral arrangements have not yet been determined.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace

Please Pray for our Sick and Homebound

Day in and day out, we are required to make judgment calls

informed by tough, durable, serviceable Christian love. We

do what we can do, and God takes notice. God is in charge

of rewards, and a glass of water will do when that is what

we have to offer with a glad and open heart.

St. Paul reminds us that our work, our ministry, is carried on in

concert with Christ. We have been baptized into his death and

life. In any given moment both life and death are there, a kind

of play of shadow and light. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell

where shadow leaves off and light begins. God will take care

of that, too.

Mission Statement: As disciples of Jesus Christ at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Parish, we are called to work for the salvation of all, sharing the Good News of God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness, while serving one another. Please call the Parish Office at 810-629-2251 if you or a family

member is in need of prayers. Names will be removed after 6 weeks but can be renewed with a phone call.

Stay tuned!

The behind the scenes brain-storming and planning for

Applefest continues. We will have updates on Applefest

plans soon, and information should be available in next

week’s bulletin

We continue to be grateful for all who work constantly

on the upkeep of our grounds and maintenance of all the

buildings on our campus. We often get compliments from

visitors to our parish on the beauty and peacefulness of

our church and campus.

the Domestic Church . . . . CCW-Council of Catholic Women News . . . .

“The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of

more importance to the soul than their simplicity might

suggest.” This quote of St. Thomas More encourages me to

cherish the simple things in marriage and family life over

the grandiose ideas of extraordinary. I have a tendency to

want to improve and build upon just an ordinary meal for

company or in planning an event. I know that I am not

alone in this thinking as I witness huge birthday party

themes for children that include pony rides and expensive

outings. Each year, we try to top the year prior with bigger

and better. Saints are extraordinary people because they

lived simply and practiced the ordinary.

We are in the Ordinary Time of the Church calendar,

which takes us through the life of Christ. We are not in the

season of Christmas, Easter, Advent or Lent. It is Ordinary

Time. And although we are living in non-ordinary times of

a pandemic, it is always a good time to practice the

ordinary acts of kindness in living marriage and family

life. Getting better at relishing the ordinary requires

practice and of course, prayer. We must fight the

temptation to want something more exciting than living

every day ordinariness. Getting good at living our vocation

of marriage and family life is what building a domestic

church is all about. Christ lives in the ordinary.

Whenever I see a positive change in how I handle different

home situations, I am delighted with the thought that Jesus

helped us to progress in our building a domestic church.

For instance, the other night a spill on an heirloom

tablecloth, did not faze me. In the past, I would have

showed more love to the tablecloth than to the person who

was responsible for the spill. To have our priorities more

on being loving and kind to our family members brings a

welcomed peace and presence of Jesus within us. Wanting

more than that is like wanting more from the experience of

the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass! It should not be boring to

us when we realize that we become extraordinary and holy

people through the everyday actions of love and sacrifice.

The Lord has surely blessed us with some beautiful days. I

hope you're all getting out and enjoying the summer

weather. Be safe, but these beautiful summer days will

surely lift your spirits after being shut in for so long.

How exciting to read that Applefest will still happen (on a

limited scale) this year. Time is short to September, so there

is lots of planning going on. Step up and volunteer if you

can.

I am planning a card making event in the Activity Center on

Wednesday, July 22, at 11:30a.m. (All plans are subject to

change). This would take place in the activity center and we

could spread out at banquet tables for social distancing.

Bring along your masks and a snack for yourself if you want

one. It has been a while since we practiced our card making

skills. Please RSVP to Shirley at 629-4775 if you plan to

attend this card making event. In August I was thinking

about lunch out at a restaurant. Let me know your interest.

I am anxious to get the CCW Ladies back together again.

Please pray for a solution to the unrest and disorder that is

so widespread in our country right now! All lives matter.

Join me in praying for a vaccine for the Covid 19 virus and

those working hard caring for those who are ill. Pray for our

priests working under difficult guidelines reopening our

churches. Give thanks for the first responders, doctors, care

gives and soldiers all working for the common good, peace,

and health of all. Don't forget to thank God for our faith and

the freedom to practice it even if we watch Mass instead of

participating at church. Thank you Lord! When you are

ready, come back to church to celebrate together again. It

just takes time. Be safe! God's Blessing to all.

Sandy Tryles

On behalf of our family, I would like to thank Fr. Harvey for

all he said and did to comfort us upon the passing of our son,

Jeff Morris. The personalized funeral Mass was not only

cherished by family, but many non-Catholic attendees

commented on it. Father’s warmth and compassion will

forever be remembered and appreciated.

Veronica and Craig Morris.

Thank You . . .
