EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP -
RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS
Witnesses for Jesus
This journey of faith is not always easy. Some�mes the
greatest wounds are those we suffer when family members
and friends wander away from God and leave us behind. The
faith they had when they were younger is now strained, or
they see the daily walking with Jesus to be too difficult. For
them, Jesus becomes what Peter wrote about when he
described Jesus as the stone that causes people to stumble
and the rock that makes them fall. Our journey is hard
enough, but watching a loved one stumble and fall is
heart�breaking.�
What are we to do in such a situa�on? Most importantly,
we pray. We must realize that God is more powerful than us,
and even if we can’t make them see the truth, He can. Then
we witness to the transforma�ve power of Jesus by our own
lives. We need to serve him in word and deed. We should let
a joy of being a disciple enlighten our faces. Allow Jesus to
work through us so that others may be drawn to him. Lastly,
we must never lose hope. Many have walked long journeys
alone only to find God far down the road. What will it take to
bring someone to Christ? It might be an ac�on, a word, or an
emo�on. We never know how certain people will be touched.
That loved one is a gi0 from God in your life. Place them back
in God’s hands, and let Him pick them up if they have
stumbled and fallen. �Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi�

These beauful
flowers adorn our
chapel entryway.
Thank you all for
keeping the parish in
your thoughts!
May the flowers be
like our prayers to God
during this me:
constant, beauful,
and loving.�
PRAYER FOR MOTHERS�
Heavenly Father,�
from the beginning you have chosen to entrust�
the human person to mothers in a special way.�
We thank and praise you for the gift of mothers;�
for their tenderness, care, and compassion,�
for their intuition and encouragement,�
for commitment and sacrifice.�
Bless all mothers this day.�
Keep, strengthen, and refresh them�
in your loving care.�
May they be blessed by our open�hearted�
love and gratitude.�
Amen.�

MARY OUR MOTHER
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners�now.� That one
word in the Hail Mary has been my frequent 'go to' prayer in
the last weeks.� We have NOW, right now to give thanks, to
reach out to a friend or isolated neighbor, to ask our Blessed
Mother's intercession to her Son for our needs.� As you pray
the rosary this month, focus on what you have now, within
your control, and pray for that.��

What Can We DO?
During this )me of safe�at�home, our outreach ministries have been greatly curtailed.� One local way YOU can do
something is to purchase addi)onal food when you shop at Pick n Save and Sentry and drop it in the bins at the door
(please do not bring food from home).�Kele Moraine Food Pantry is also accep)ng dona)ons through Amazon deliveries
(705 W Tomlin Road, Wales WI� 53183).� �
A 30 day prayer and ac)on ini)a)ve began May 1 through our Archdiocese (Step out Stronger.)� Each day includes prayer
and a concrete ac)on to grow your love for God and neighbor (check it out at �h,ps://www.archmil.org/Courageous�
Communion/StepOutStronger.htm). Pray about ge:ng involved in one of our parish ministries once we can gather again.
And pray, pray, pray for our world and for all those who usually receive our love and support through our Human Concerns
ministries.���
A Mother's Love
There are times when only a mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
For a mother's heart and a mother's faith
And a mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the angels
And sent from God above.

Happy Mother’s Day! � God Bless You!�

Vatican City, Apr 25, 2020 / 07:15 am MT (CNA).
POPE FRANCIS sent a le�er Saturday encouraging Catholics
to pray the rosary throughout May. He also shared two new
prayers to implore the help of the Virgin Mary during the
coronavirus pandemic. (found on Catholic News Agency.com)�
“Contempla�ng the face of Christ with the heart
of Mary our Mother will make us even more
united as a spiritual family and will help us
overcome this �me of trial,” Pope Francis said in
a le�er April 25.�
He urged families and individuals to “rediscover
the beauty of praying the rosary at home in the
month of May,” which is tradi�onally a �me of
increased devo�on to the Blessed Virgin Mary.�

emerge weaker or stronger? Choose to use May in order to
come out stronger. In these 30 days, rather than dwelling on
what we might be missing, we’re focusing on Jesus, giving one
percent of each day in prayer and comple�ng a simple daily ac-

Hidden Treasures Part Three
Walk through the woods with Michael
Last week my son Michael joined me as we explored the
nature trail that runs through my neighborhood. As we
walked, I shared my story about finding a headless Power
Ranger on one of my previous walks which provided the
topic for a bulle)n ar)cle. He was very curious to hear
more. The third hidden treasure, a door was opened to
share a faith story.�
Having three grown children who do not currently
prac)ce their faith, I some)mes find it challenging to find
ways to share faith stories with them. The opportunity
surfaced in the woods with Michael. On a sunny day, with
trees star)ng to bud, birds singing, and chipmunks
scampering�God opened the door and we walked through
it together. We observed the simple beauty of nature as
signs of God’s great love for us. �
Michael was in a very dark place 5 years ago, making
poor decisions which ended up with him facing some tough
consequences. As his mother, it was heartbreaking to
watch. I am so grateful that we have been able to rebuild
our rela)onship and are learning from past experiences. I
told Michael that God never promised us that life would be
easy, but He does promise us that He is always with us. �
On this is the day we honor our Mothers. I thank God every
day that my beau)ful mother is s)ll alive and is a very
important part of my life. She has been an amazing role
model to me; always ready to listen, never judges, and
offers gentle advice, including feedback on my bulle)n
ar)cles. Like our Blessed Mother, my mom (who also
happens to be named Mary) is the perfect example of
grace. She has always been there to help celebrate my
victories and to stand by me during challenging )mes. My
mom taught me about uncondi)onal love�something I try
to give to my children. �
We learn from past experiences and take courage as we
journey with faith into the future. We con)nue to look for
signs of life, hope, light, love, and second chances. �
More walks to take, more stories to share. Take some )me
to share your faith stories this week!�
Blessings, Amy Golden ([email protected])�

School News
�
St. Bruno Parish School’s character
trait for May is GRIT.� We will teach
students that ‘Grit is the stubborn
refusal to quit.’� In these challenging )mes we need to be
very good adver)sers for the important concepts of
perseverance, one of the ideas in our Wildcat Way, and
GRIT.� During this )me in a normal school year, students
get restless.� This year is no excep)on and more
challenging due to distance learning, but we will thrive in
the five remaining weeks to learn in the 2019�2020 school
year!�
May 4�8 is Teacher Apprecia)on Week, and we are
making sure our teachers know how valued they are!� I am
so very proud to work with the dedicated, accomplished
team of teachers of St. Bruno Parish School.� They are
crea)ve, smart, dedicated, persistent and loving.� Their
crea)vity shows in the varied lessons and projects they
provide for our students.� Their ‘smarts’ show through
in the high quality of their prepared teaching
presenta)ons.� Their dedica)on and persistence shows
when they don’t give up on students who need the extra
nudge, email, outreach, pat on the back, or reminder to get
their best work done.� And, their LOVE shows in the way
they speak, guide and care for our students every single
day.� Our teachers live out the teachings of Jesus every day
in our school, whether in the building or from their home
computers.� You have made a great choice by sending your
children to be educated at St. Bruno.���
You will find a beau)ful May Crowning ceremony on our
parish and school websites.� Please tune in.� Thanks to
Mark Mrozek, Amy Golden and Mirannda and Ann
Kepplinger for making this happen.� You will even hear
Mrs. MacDonald singing the Ave Maria as part of the
presenta)on.� Together, we can all make beau)ful things
happen!�
We wish a happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms in our
community.� Let’s be sure to put our Blessed Mother right
atop the list of important moms.�

ADVERTISER OF THE WEEK
LIVE THE LITURGY � �
INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK�
What do you imagine the
resurrected life of heaven to be
like? When we try to get our
minds around such an enormous
concept, we can easily find
ourselves at a loss. For some folks,
the enormity of the ques�on
actually causes them to ignore the
reality of heaven or even conclude
that it does not exist. Jesus knew
that the magnitude and grandeur
of eternal life are really too much
for us to grasp. He kept it simple
and described it in terms of
rela�onship. The disciples
treasured their rela�onship with
Jesus, and he assured them,
“Where I am you also may be.”
Ul�mately, that was enough for
them to know. They would be with
him. Strengthen your rela�onship
with God as He is the way, the
truth, and the life. Is the assurance
that you will be with Him enough
for you as well? ©LPi�
