HAITI MISSION Feed My Starving Children® provides manna packs for Mission Haiti. A single bag of food - which provides highly nutritious meals for six children - costs around $1.32 to produce, and 92 percent of all donations to FMSC goes directly toward the food program. This product name was chosen to capture both the nourishing qualities of the supplement and FMSC’s spiritual mission by using the word manna, the food miraculously provided for the Israelites in the wilderness during their flight from Egypt. Please visit hhtps://www.fmsc.org for more information.

THE PILGRIM VIRGIN FAMILY ROSARY PROGRAM

Families volunteer to take the Pilgrim Virgin statue home for a week with a commitment to say a rosary each day of that week. You will notify the usher at the Mass of your choice that you are picking up the statue. When you take up the Gifts, you will collect the statue at that time. There are two plastic tubs in the back of church with materials to support your week that you can take, as well. Sign up is in the back of church. We would love to have the Pilgrim Virgin in our church family homes every week. Contact Stephanie Nehus at nehuss@hssd.net for further information.

SMALL PLEASURES Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air. —Georges Bernanos

HOPE AND LIFE Today’s readings tell the story of two widows. The first reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of Nain. In each story, the widow’s only son had died. For people who lived in those cultures, the son was the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow whose only son has died could lose all hope. Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the sons back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised from the dead when he experienced the conversion and call from God that he describes in today’s second reading. What are Christians called to do today? We may not be able to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope for a single parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor like Paul, but if we speak the gospel openly and gently with our lives, we might touch a life with the Good News. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Sunday, June 5, 2016 Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Unless Professor Einstein’s theory of relativity can be translated into any useful kind of time-travel, most of our clues about life in the early church will have to come from ancient letters and ancient prayer texts. A prayer text from a dusty library may yield, for example, an understanding of what “presbyters” actually did. We have such a prayer from the early third century from the hand of Hippolytus of Rome. While our modern prayers derive a great deal from his, some of the practices of the ancient church have fallen away. In his day, bishops were chosen by the people, and the other bishops merely consented. Presbyters, by contrast, seem to have been chosen by the bishops. This makes sense, since it allowed the bishops to hand-pick their most trusted advisers. It seems that bishops were at first reluctant to share their presiding at the Eucharist with presbyters. In fact, by the time of the fourth-century church’s growth spurt in Rome, the bishop sent deacons out with fragments of the host from his Eucharist to drop into the chalices of the presbyters at the outlying eucharistic celebrations. We still have a vestige of this fermentum in the Mass today, a reminder of the early bishops’ desire to give a powerful sign of the unity of all celebrations of the Eucharist with their ministry, and a clue to their reluctance to delegate a sacramental ministry to the presbyters.
