Where have you bumped into God in the last few days? Was it at
the breakfast table? Or during a walk when you saw a beautiful
spring carpet of wildflowers? Was it when a friend apologized for
an unkind word spoken in haste? Or when memories of good times
came flooding back during a phone call from an old friend? Are
these not the kinds of events that we translate as love? Are they not
ways in which we relate to our loving God? Admittedly, in some
ways we hunger for still more. Can we ever be satisfied of that
hunger for truth? What we need to discover during this season is
that the hunger is the Spirit itself drawing us into the truth –
guiding, teaching, interpreting – so that we may come to a deeper
understanding of God. We need to allow ourselves to experience
God in new and wonderful ways.

Dear Parishioners,
Where have you bumped into God in the last week? I suspect that it was not while you were engrossed
in some deeply theological discussion about the Most Holy Trinity. God does not use that kind of
language with us. God uses words like rainbow and sunshine, and mist and flower, to get our
attention. We experience God in creation. We see the beauty that God has created and that touches us.
We know that God is a God of love. God touches us through other people. An unexpected phone call!
A random act of kindness! An apology! God talks to us all the time. God sounds like the cries of those
who are dying and the gasps of those being born, like breezes and storms, like tears and laughter, like
waves crashing against the shore.
God talked to me this week. It was as I was walking along the shore with waves crashing upon the
rocks. The sun was rising and I felt its wonderful power as it transformed the night into day. I rejoiced
that we have a loving Creator God.
I experience God so often through other people. It’s not the things they say about God, but the things
they do, their actions, their living faith, that convince me that the Spirit of God is working in and
through humanity. “Jesus Christ is in you,” Paul says to the Corinthians. He challenges us to test our
faith. We, who are disciples of Jesus today, are called, as were the first disciples, to worship, to teach, to
be disciples. The Church is the witness of the Resurrected Jesus. Through the witness of others we
come to know God who redeems us. It is that which enables us to reach out to others in love. It is the
Spirit working in us that convinces us of our need to be good stewards of God’s creation. It is the Spirit
working in us that leads us to compassionate caring. And what a need there is for that in our world
today! If we take the time to listen, we can hear the sigh of the oppressed, the whimpering of the
starving, the pleading of the sick, and the crying of the marginalized.
Can we hear the words of Jesus commissioning us, sending us out into the world to bring God’s
healing love? “Go and make disciples of all nations,” Jesus says to each one of us. We are called to go out
and join God in caring for the world. It is a call to tell people about Jesus. But, above all, it is a call to
take up the work of loving people that no one else loves. It is a call to pay attention to the places where
God’s Spirit is at work building peace, and to do what we can to help. As we go, we remember that the
God who created us watches over us, that Jesus loves us and calls us to forgive one another, and that
the Holy Spirit is with us to comfort and to give us more power than we can ever imagine.
Have a blessed week, and remember to be kind to one another!
Fr. Leonard+

INITIATION OF ADULTS

invited to be altar servers. Training
sessions will be scheduled. Please
contact Sr. Regina in the Religious
Education Office at 201-871-4662
or reled@olmc.us to register for this

In the early Church, when a person sought to become
Christian, he or she was called a catechumen and entered
into a period of intense instruction within the community.
When this period of instruction was completed,
catechumens were baptized and received into “the body of
the faithful.” The Church welcomes into the process of
preparation persons who have never been baptized, those
already baptized in another Christian tradition, or baptized
Catholics who have not received First Eucharist or
Confirmation. If you or someone you know has been
thinking about becoming a member, but would first like
information about the process, please call Sr. Regina at
201-871-4662.
