Dear Parishioners:
This week I am returning from an
extended time of vacation – the longest I have taken all at once. Since the bulletin is going to press before
my return, I am writing in anticipation of the return. No doubt I will have lots of stories to tell,
and maybe even a few pictures to share.
Every experience of travel is an adventure. This trip has been my sharing in one of my
ordination classmate, Fr. Jeff Rimelspach’s dreams for his “bucket list,” –
that is, what he wanted to do before he “kicks the bucket.” It is really a privilege to do something
with someone who approaches it with zeal, as a dream.
Our entering into the life of Grace
with Jesus through the Sacraments is just this kind of experience. It is an adventure that takes us into places
we never dreamed of going. I opens to us
new horizons and new ways of seeing the world around us.
Have you entered with enthusiasm and
zeal into what God has offered you through your Baptism? What are the signs in your approach to Faith
that this is so? How do you share it? What “souvenirs” of the journey are reminders
to you of the fun of it? Who is with you
on the journey? What do you plan to do
as the Lord Jesus shares His “bucket list” with you?
Next weekend, we will experience the
celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation with our 8th Grade
class. Please keep them in your
prayers. “Come, Holy Spirit” is the
simplest prayer for the grace of this Sacrament.
