Saint Albert the Great
O N THE FIRST DAY of the
Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the
Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.” The disciples then went oof, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day

“sword that pierced her heart” can identify with all
parents who grieve. Are you in need of healing? Do
you want to experience the love, mercy, and compassion
of God? Do you know anyone who needs our help?

Everyone likes donuts. Many like coffee with their donuts too.
There are a few who have graciously provided coffee and
donuts after Sunday morning Masses for a very long time and
anyone who has ever enjoyed either or both please let them
know you appreciate all they have done over the years.
We are looking for additional help in continuing to provide
after-Mass coffee and donuts. Won’t you offer to help us out? If
you are interested, give Liz a call at the parish office. Thanks.

“The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them.” [Mk 14:7]
There is a real need for individual packets of dried milk and single serving size pork and beans, tuna fish, Vienna sausage, or any other food item that come in five ounce cans. These items are pre-cooked and can be eaten directly from the can if necessary. I am trying to figure out how to package these items in
something other than a brown paper lunch bag since I like to put several items in this bag for a complete day of food and the lunch bags aren’t big or sturdy enough to hold everything. If you have any ideas please let me know.
Those in need are so grateful for your gifts of non-perishable food, clothing, and toiletries.
Thank you for all you do for those in need and may God bless you.

Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice
St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by Jim Demetrio and Griff Turner, is on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the chapel. Our next meeting will be on June 4, 2018.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653, says:
The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Chris-tian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scrip-tures…Let them remember, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dia-logue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.’
Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to increase the time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst with ours.”
Pray for Vocations What kinds of people become priests, sisters or brothers?
Are they uncommonly holy, unusually
saint-like? No. They are people who make
mistakes, people who aren’t afraid to be
human while in God’s service.
Are they people who can’t face the
competition and cruelty of the “real”
world? No. They are people who believe
that through ministry they can immerse
themselves in the world and make positive changes.
Are they people who don’t relate well with other people? No. They are
people who love others — people who find real satisfaction chatting with a
93-year-old parishioner, holding the hand of a cancer patient, listening to the
troubles of a streetwise teen.
They are people with the courage to touch lives, hearts and souls in a high-
tech, unchurched world. Are you that kind of person?
Serra for priestly and religious vocations
A vocation must be nurtured for a lifetime, not just until
ordination or the taking of vows. You can help nurture the vocations of
priests, sisters and brothers by praying, listening, and expressing
appreciation. A life of service needs support from those served.

May The Wind Be Ever At Your Back May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
Deacon Chuck Lanham, April 09, 2013
T he same word in Greek – pneuma (πνευµα) – and in Hebrew – ruach – can mean breath, wind, or
spirit. The Spirit of God is mentioned in both the Old and New Testament as breath, wind, or spirit. In
Job we read “The Spirit of God made me and the breath of the Almighty has given me life” (Job 33:4). After his
resurrection, Jesus appeared to the disciples and breathed on them and said “…receive the Holy Spirit” (Jn 20:22).
And in the Acts of the Apostles we read “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming,
and it filled the whole house where they were sitting … And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit …” (Acts 2:2-4). Jesus
told Nicodemus “You must be born from above. The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound that it makes
but do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit” (Jn 3:7-8).
Just as we cannot see the wind but can perceive its effects, so it is with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God.
Even with the most sensitive equipment we cannot capture an image of the wind; it is no different with the Holy
Spirit. But while we cannot physically see, touch, feel, or detect the Holy Spirit we can observe and experience the
effects the Holy Spirit produces on us.
When the wind blows we see trees bend, dust whirl, waves appear, and clouds move across the sky
without any visible means of motive power. At times the wind is like a gentle whisper, tickling our skin, almost
unfelt or detected. At other times the wind can be a terrible and terrifying force, such as a hurricane or a tornado,
full of sound and fury, yielding almost unimaginable destructive power.
The Spirit of God is like the wind; always present, blowing soft or hard, moving us in the direction only
God knows is best. And like the wind, we can either relax and go with the flow or struggle and push back. Airline
pilots love to fly with a tail wind because the flight is much smoother, it takes less fuel, and the flight time is
shorter. They know that to fly into the wind will result in a longer, bumpier, and more costly flight. Shouldn’t we
receive the Holy Spirit in the same manner? Give yourself over to the Holy Spirit and let Him carry you through
life. As an old Irish blessing says so very well:
May the road rise up to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
