May 3, 2020 From the Pastor’s Desk Fourth Sunday of Easter, Year A�

With whom do we converse and listen to the

most? Believe it or not, the answer is ourselves.

We are constantly having conversations with ourselves, and sometimes

we even get caught! Our inner conversations reveal the truth about

ourselves. We really cannot hide from ourselves, although we often

pretend we can. By conversing with ourselves, we find solutions to our

challenges, problem solve, work through our relationships, formulate

opinions, run through dress rehearsals of possible conversations, and

wrestle with and determine our system of priorities and values. What

other voices affect the

conversations we have with

ourselves?�

Often, voices from �

our past continue to

haunt us. These voices

cause us to mistrust our

judgment, harbor anger, and

cling to our fears of

rejection, failure, being

wrong, and the like. It is in

these inner conversations

that we face what holds us

captive � our limitations,

weaknesses, sinfulness, and

stubborn ego

preoccupations. We often go

about our lives putting out one fire or another, keeping ourselves

preoccupied and busy, and trying to stay on top of things. Intentionally

or unintentionally, we find ourselves wandering off. We turn around

and can no longer see our home. We look down at our feet and realize

we have lost our anchor. Feeling scared, out of place, desolate,

unsettled, and lonely, we realize that we are lost.�

We listened to the wrong voices! In the midst of everything

competing for our attention, the voice of the One who could truly call us

home got muffled. We didn’t hear it. As our inner dialogues continue to

play out, the one voice we need to consult � even before our own � is

God’s. He is the Good Shepherd who can keep us safely where we need

to be. As we graze through the stuff of our lives, we must constantly

remember to look up, be attentive, and stay focused. Our habits of

prayer are the only thing that can properly root us and keep us

grounded. Contemplating God’s presence and developing an inner

awareness of love incarnate, we will then find ourselves praying

unceasingly as the days and nights and the ebbs and flows of our of

lives unfold. Suddenly, the inner conversations we are constantly

having are no longer just with ourselves or with voices that can lead us

astray but with the Trinity, who desperately wants us to stay home.

In light of the growing spread of the Coronavirus in

Connec�cut, Archbishop Leonard P. Blair has directed that

publicly scheduled confessions be suspended un�l further

no�ce. This is necessary for the protec�on of both penitents

and priests. The teaching of the Church as set forth recently �

by the Apostolic Peniten�ary in Rome, as follows: �

“Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful

impossibility of receiving sacramental absolu�on, it should be

remembered that perfect contri�on, coming

from the love of God, beloved above all

things, expressed by a sincere request for

forgiveness (that which the penitent is at

present able to express) and accompanied by

votum confessionis, that is, by the firm

resolu�on to have recourse, as soon as

possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of

sins, even mortal ones (!". CCC, %&. 1452).”�

WHY DO WE DO THAT? � CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED�

Daily Prayer Versus Mass?�

Question: I have a fr iend who says she doesn’t need

to attend Mass because she prays to God every day. What

are your thoughts on this justification?�

Answer: If the only reason for going to church were

to talk to God, your friend might be right. Prayer is not

something limited to a physical place or even a holy place. If

the sole purpose of the Church were prayer, it would be a

narrow purpose indeed. The Church is a community of

believers, formed by “one

Lord, one faith, one Baptism.”

It is an outward sign of our

faith in God instituted by

Christ, and the purpose of the

Church is to give us grace,

that is, a share in God’s life.�

Coming to Mass is not really

for God’s sake, but for ours. �

If we believe that Jesus is

truly present in the holy Eucharist, then we will want to be

in his presence. We will want to be fed by him. Our daily

prayer and good works are strengthened by our authentic

encounter with our Lord. For Catholics, it is at Mass that we

celebrate the source and summit of our faith. If this is true,

why would we ever stay away? ©LPi�
