NOTES FROM FATHER BOB…

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2015 Throughout history so many different people, Christians among them, have tried to capture in words the essence of what friendship really means. The English spiritual writer Robert Hugh Benson put it like this: “The essence of a perfect friendship is that each friend reveals themselves utterly to the other, flings aside their reserves, and shows themselves for what they truly are.” The poet Robert Bridges highlighted another aspect when he stated: “Friendship is in loving rather than being loved.” St. Jerome, the early translator of the bible, expressed a deep truth about friendship when he wrote: “The friendship that can cease has never been real.” We might add to this Francis Bacon’s comment that “the worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship.” It’s good for all of us to reflect now and then on what friendship means to us. Who are the people we would call our friends? What is it about our relationship with them that makes it so special? What kind of friend am I to others. How do I show my friendships matter to me? These questions are important for everyone. For Christians they have another dimension, because it’s through the language and invitation of friendship that Jesus shares his life with us. It’s as Jesus’ friends that we come to know his Father, the God who sent his only Son into the world to save us and lead us to life. The first letter of St. John opens up for us the reality of who this God is. Before anything else can be said or known, God comes to us in the person of Jesus as love, generous and pure. Peter was so profoundly and powerfully aware of this that he could proclaim to Cornelius’ household: “God does not have favorites.” God’s love is freely offered to everyone, without exception. Hopefully, this love, shown to us in Christ, will spill over into our personal love for each other. However, the foundation of our faith, the bottom-line, is not our success in loving God or others – which can sometimes be pretty pathetic – but God’s tremendous and incredible desire and ability always to love us. These themes of love and relationship are interwoven in the Gospel with Jesus’ call to remain close to him, to keep the commandments and to embrace the mission he sets before us. Yet, at the heart of all of this is the call to friendship. We can all be tempted to complicate our relationship with Christ. Here, Jesus expresses it himself in simple words we can easily understand. He is our friend and leads us into friendship with his Father. The best of whatever is true of our human friendships is transformed in our relationship with Christ, our perfect friend and our Lord. By loving as Jesus loves, our friendship with him will deepen and grow. In faithfulness to him, our two lives become intertwined as we learn from him how to love more generously. When this happens our whole being will radiate to others the difference that having Jesus as a friend makes to us. As his friends Jesus sends us out to bring other people to the joy of his friendship. Friends are so incredibly important. Through times of laughter and sorrow, joy and anxiety, they are there for us and we are there for them. In Jesus we have a friend beyond compare. With him, we have nothing to fear; with him, we are loved for who we are. As a friend of Jesus we are never alone or abandoned. Although, sadly, human friendships can fail, Jesus’ friendship is faithful and certain, even when we make mistakes. The German theologian, Jurgen Moltmann, once said that prayer is the hallmark of friendship with God. Just as our human friendships develop the more time we spend with friends, so our friendship with Jesus will flourish the more we make time for him in prayer. This is ancient Christian wisdom, tried and tested by saints and spiritual giants. Jesus calls us friends because he has made known to us everything he learned from his Father. Prayer is the place where we ponder these things. In living friendship with Christ, prayer draws us closer to the Father whose Son laid down his life for his friends. We can pray in the words of St. Richard of Chichester: “O most merciful Redeemer, friend, and brother, May I know thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, day by day.” Happy Mother’s Day, Father Bob Pastor

This year we will again be providing drop-off bins for electronics. Although we do not accept clothing and shoes for the rummage sale, we do provide an easily accessible

St. Vincent de Paul Drop Box in the church parking lot to receive those “no longer needed,” but “still in good condition, clean and serviceable” items.

Thank you for your participation in this annual parish event and for spreading the word to your family and friends! RECORD BREAKING "“WE WERE THERE” FRIENDS OF THE POOR BENEFIT RAISES OVER $100,000! Nearly 400 guests attended the 7th Annual Friends of the Poor Benefit on Sunday, April 19, breaking an all-time attendance record and raising more money in one afternoon than it has in the first six years. More than $100,000 was raised from net proceeds and matching funds from the Central Office making it our most successful fundraising event to date. The "driving force" behind our incredible fundraising efforts was no doubt due in part to the first time ever Grand Prize Car Raffle.

Thank you, Fr. Bob, for sponsoring a St. Cletus Parish table at this year’s event. We Were There…and enjoyed a wonderful brunch, great entertainment, and sharing the hopeful stories of the people SVDP has been able to help!

Good friends and good food!

Entertainer Vito Zatto gets everyone in the act!

Not a car...but a prize nonetheless.
