From the Pastor:
My dear friends in Christ,
What is the point of Jesus’ story about a lost sheep and a lost coin? In Jesus’ time shepherds normally counted their sheep at the end of the day to make sure all were accounted for. Since sheep by their very nature are very social, an isolated sheep can quickly become bewildered and even neurotic, and become easy prey for wolves and lions. The shepherd’s grief and anxiety is turned into joy when he finds the lost sheep and restores it to the fold. The housewife who lost a coin had faced something of an economic disaster, since the value of the coin would be equivalent to her husband’s daily wage. What would she say to her husband when he returned home from work? They were poor and would suffer greatly because of the loss. Her grief and anxiety turn to joy when she finds the coin that she had misplaced. Both the shepherd and the housewife “search until what they have lost is found.” Their perseverance pays off. They both instinctively share their joy with the whole community.
Please take the time to stop by at our Ministry Fair taking place this weekend after all Masses in the hallway. We are in need of your time and talent. Take a look at what ministries you might like to be involved in here at Corpus Christi. Representatives from the various ministries will be available at each table to answer any and all of your questions. Only you can make our parish vibrant!
The architect was here this week to assess the bathrooms. More details to come.
May God bless you all!
Father John
