RISEN CHRIST

Cathol ic Par ish

For most Catholics, the parish is the most concrete experience of the Church. Together we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, celebrate his Sacraments, and exercise his works of mercy. Strengthened by the Lord, we live our faith publicly so that all might participate in his salvation and discover the lasting joy of a relationship with him. Fr. Scott Bailey and the staff invite everyone to participate in our ministries, activities, and liturgies; there are opportunities for spiritual growth and to share your faith with others.

Friday Morning Men’s Group – Salvation History Have you ever wanted to walk through the events of the Old

Testament – the complete history of God’s people, in order, and with a great guide who can explain it and make it as exciting and applicable to

your life as it really is? If you’ve always wanted to see the full picture of the Old Testament and its fulfillment in Christ but haven’t had time for

the Catholic Biblical School, or if you’ve wanted to get to know and discuss our faith with other men, this program is for you. This men’s

group meets every Friday by Zoom from 6:30am to 7:30am – so men can start their day with faith and fellowship and still get or connect to work

at an early hour. While the group meets every week, it’s not necessary to attend every session – feel free to join when you can!

However, to participate, you do need to sign up. To do that, go to our parish website and click on “Friday Morning Men’s Group –

Salvation History.” So, grab a cup of coffee, turn on your computer, and join your brothers on an invigorating and challenging

journey through Salvation History!

Mark Your Calendars!

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

May 30, 2021 The Most Holy Trinity

Let God be who God is. This is often one of the hardest things to do. Rather than allowing the mystery of being created in the image and

likeness of God unfold and take root in our lives, we change the dynamic. We want to be the creators who want to make God into the image and likeness we need God to be. We have a hard-enough time

letting the people in our lives be who they are. We struggle even more so with God. It is almost as if we want God to be our imaginary friend who is not only with us whenever we need but becomes the Being we need God to be. Who is it that we want God to be today? A protector, disciplinarian, champion for justice, healer, advocate for our cause,

grantor of prayers, guardian of my life, or the avenger? Our prayers tell an interesting story. When you pray, what does God look like?

Recently, a young woman who was feeling invisible, overlooked, ignored, and misunderstood by her husband struggled to make her

feelings known and get his attention. Finally, she screamed, “Listen to me!” Thus, birth was given to a renewed and healthier relationship. We

spend so much time storming heaven with our agenda and trying to make God into a “god” of our desires that we do not hear God saying, “Listen to me!” God is desperately trying to get our attention. God is

saying, I am here among you as not one but three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Many people seldom notice God’s presence because they are so caught up with other spiritual cares and concerns. And, when the “god” they fashion and create doesn’t produce as they desire, they shake the

dust from their feet and move on. “I tried,” they exclaim, “but God didn’t listen.”

Healthy relationships aren’t built on making someone be who we need

them to be. Healthy relationships are built on encounters of persons and the development of an appreciation of someone solely for who they are. Deeper relationships can even be found with two people marveling at each other and almost experiencing a childlike joy and giddiness when they see the other coming. Do you ever have these feelings about God? Believe it or not, God does for you! There is a joyful laughter that gives

rise to and connects all three members of the Holy Trinity. It is this laughter, flowing from the very depths of the Godhead that not only

keeps the Trinity in joyful unity but spills over into the creation of all beings and things. It is an expression of Divine Delight! Have you ever

taken time away from your agenda to experience the Divine Joyfulness of God?

We can reach a connection of Presence wherein even the smallest of

creatures suddenly radiate the fullness of God: the wonderful creation of their being, the innocence and playfulness of their movements, and the sustaining life breath that flows through their veins. The same God who created the heavens and the earth is the same God who wants you to call him ‘Dad’ and the same God who preserves your life and has all things

in His care.
