Religious Education
A very blessed feast of the Divine Mercy to you and your families! While we may not be physically together, we can offer up our disappointments and our prayers with those of St. Faustina, to whom Jesus gave the message of His Divine Mercy: “Suffering is a great grace; through suffering the soul becomes like the Savior; in suffering love becomes crystallized; the greater the suffering, the purer the love.” (from the Diary of St. Faustina)

Pastor’s Column
GET REAL! Those of us who flatter ourselves that we have a “realistic” view of the world may listen to the first reading today and say, “Get real!” when we hear Luke’s account of the early, Elysian days of the Christian movement. All seems to be rosy, lots of wonders are performed, everyone shares selflessly, they eat together in “exultation,” and the Lord added to their numbers? Well, who wouldn’t be attracted to a group like this? From the wind that swept through the upper room at Pentecost as the Spirit of God blew over the face of the waters in Genesis, and the fire that appeared over each disciple as the light appeared at the dawn of creation, Luke’s intent in Acts is to show a new creation, a restoration of creation’s original goodness through the working of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who continues to make us into the Body of Christ. We may occasionally, like Thomas in the Gospel, say, “Get real!” but our ultimate reality in the Spirit is to work continually to make our Christian community a new creation, one in which others will find God’s joy and beauty.
SAINT ANSELM (1033-1109) April 21
For anyone disheartened at how easily contemporary discussions of disputed church-state issues escalate from civil discourse to shrill polemic, Anselm provides perspective. Grounded in the Benedictine Rule’s balanced “prayer and work,” this monk-scholar, called from his abbey to become Archbishop of Canterbury, was thrust into firestorms of political intrigue, himself the target of warring bishops and nobles, kings and popes. Yet from depths of inner peace, Anselm wrote this moving exhortation by which today’s Liturgy of the Hours celebrates him: “Rise up, insignificant man! From your preoccupations, flee a while. From your turbulent thoughts, hide for a time. Your crushing responsibilities cast aside. Your burdensome business lay down. Free a little space for God. Rest a little while in him!” “Faith seeking understanding” was his strikingly contemporary motto; and though renowned as an erudite philosopher-theologian, Anselm also left personal letters, profound for their insights on Christian friendship. Along with those, he composed “A Prayer for My Friends” and “A Prayer for My Enemies,” reminding us that those who love God most passionately are also those who love others most humanly.
Reminder all parish events/programs are cancelled until further notice. Our parish offices are not accepting “face to face” business under the current circumstances in which we find ourselves as a nation and a church. As you know, all meetings, parish events, gatherings, devotions, confession and parish weekday and weekend masses have been cancelled by order of the Bishop until further notice. We invite you to stay in touch with us by phone or email. As you know, many committee members have direct emails which are also listed on our website. Please pray through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary that this crisis will come to a swift conclusion. Msgr. Rebman and Fr. Evers are privately celebrating Masses to fulfill scheduled mass intentions. The Office of Communication has set up a website – cdow.org/coronavirus – with information including a viewable Sunday Mass recorded at the Cathedral of Saint Peter. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust policy as necessary. Let us continue to pray for our diocese, our health care workers, and for all affected by the coronavirus. Please know that we continue to pray for the intentions of our faith community at this time
