MASS INTENTIONS My meeting in Chicago last week was a wonderful
occasion to catch up with friends and meet new ones,
but it was also a difficult time for many of us as we
shared what’s happening in our lives, especially
what’s challenging us to grow. There was something
profound about the timing of our meeting also. Many
of us shared in the lament that our souls have often
mirrored the odd transition to Spring we’ve been
experiencing. Like nature itself, we have been slow
to awaken from the sleepiness and death of Winter.
For this reason, we were all searching for signs of
new life.
One big takeaway from the meeting that I learned or
was reminded of is that we all have our ideas about
certain things, people, even reality itself. Sometimes
these ideas are even correct ones, perhaps forged over
years of observation and in-depth study of things that,
at a certain point, in one way or another, we think we
“know.” And then we have the facts, those things
that continually happen before our eyes and that
stubbornly continue to get through to us in spite of
ourselves. They could be small ones–an unexpected
encounter, a thoughtful judgment from a person from
whom you might not expect it–or big ones, like the
sudden death of a friend. Often, these facts lead to a
fork in the road. And if you really think about it, this
is almost always the case even if we don’t realize it.
In the face of such events, we can decide to follow
their initial impact on us, giving that instant of
surprise we felt space to grow, allowing them to lead
us to discover something that’s truly new.
Alternatively, we can immediately put up our
defenses, deadening the impact of facts by forcing
everything to fit into the frameworks we already have
in mind. We often go down this second road, but
what happens when we instead decide to stay open to
them? What happens when what prevails, even for
only an instant, is that childlike wonder that the facts
continue to give us as a gift? It’s the tension between
what we have in mind and the Mystery working
before us, inviting us to follow Him. Which is better
for us?

STEWARDSHIP FOR APRIL 29
Sharing the Gospel
I would be really happy, if only I was ? rich ?
popular ? better looking ? the boss. Those selfish
wishes sound great, but they cannot give you true
happiness inside. In today's Gospel, Jesus shares
the three secrets to his complete happiness: (1)
Jesus obeyed God; (2) Jesus knew God loved him;
(3) Jesus loved other people enough to die for
them. Wow. Jesus was completely happy, but he
was not selfish at all. In fact, Jesus told his friends
if they followed his loving example, they could be
completely happy too. Follow Jesus to be filled
with happiness from the inside out.
Prayer God, on my own I am selfish. Thank you for
loving me. Help me to obey you. Help me to love
other people as much as Jesus does.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of yourself happily holding Jesus'
hand.
Mission for the Week
Read John 15:9-17 with your family. God loves
you, and he wants you to be completely happy, but
you need to let go of your selfishness. You can
obey God and love others by sharing your time
with them. You can show your love for God by
sharing your money with others, too.
As the month of May is especially devoted to the
Blessed Mother, pilgrimages to Monte Cassino
Shrine are held each Sunday during this month. The
pilgrimage begins with an opening hymn and a
short sermon, followed by a rosary procession. The
hour-long service ends with the Litany of the
Blessed Virgin and a hymn. Pilgrimages start at 3
p.m. Eastern Time. The shrine is located in St.
Meinrad, IN, one mile east of Saint Meinrad
Archabbey along Indiana 62.
Memorial Day Services...St. Anthony
American Legion & Auxiliary Post 493 will
attend mass as a group at the 7:00am mass

members will then proceed to Celestine
Cemetery at 8:30am; Sacred Heart
Cemetery at 9:00am; Mentor Cemetery at

Post home for lunch.
