READINGS FOR SUNDAY, MAY 19, 2019 FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

First Reading: Acts 14:21-27 Second Reading: Revelation 21:1-5a

Gospel: John 13:31-33a, 34-35

FOCUS: We glory in the victorious love of

Christ.

All true love has its origins in God, who is love itself, and

so the Christian believer must seek to love as God loves,

and to share love as abundantly as God shares it with his

creation. Love is the very hallmark of the Christian life.

LITURGY OF THE WORD:

Paul and Barnabas continue their travels, strengthening

the spirits of the disciples and giving an account of all

that God has done with them. In the second reading, John

foretells the restored creation where God will make his

home among his people and wipe away all their tears.

Jesus gives his disciples a new commandment to love one

another.

Readings for next week, May 26: Sixth Sunday of Easter:

Acts 15:1-2, 22-29; Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23; John

14:23-29

From Liturgical Commission Publishing, Lansing, MI

PARISH SACRIFICIAL GIVING

We continue to hear about Paul and Barnabas in the first

reading this Sunday. As stewards of the faith, they traveled

near and far to spread God’s Word, encountering both violent

rejection and joyful acceptance of the message that they

preached. However, we need not said to Antioch or Pisidia to

be evangelizers! Let us spread God’s Word today by using our

gifts in service to the wider community, beginning with our

own hometown.

Weekend of May 18/19, 2019 Fifth Sunday of Easter, Year C

Readings: Missal, p. 276

The Ordinary of the Mass begins on Page 804

From the Desk of Father Valentine

Dear Friends,

Exactly 34 years ago this weekend I was ordained to the priesthood. In hindsight, the timing of the day

still seems curious, even callous. My parents sent out invitations to the First Mass and reception to be

held on—you guessed it—Mother’s Day! Imagine: spend a day with the Valentines, or with your

mother. For reasons that are still inexplicable, people actually showed up. My gratitude to those folks

is heartfelt if for no other reason than that they accepted out of friendship with my parents.

Unlike ordination day, it seems eminently fitting that one’s first weekend as Pastor at St. Mary’s

should take place on Good Shepherd Sunday. Pope Benedict XVI’s poignant description of Christ the

Good Shepherd reverberates within the heart of the fledgling pastor:

Whatever form his ministry took—teaching, healing, forgiving, or suffering—Jesus did everything to

care for his sheep, however wayward we turned out to be. In order to be a good one, the shepherd

cannot help getting his hands dirty in the grit and grime of human existence: glorious at times,

perhaps, but also fickle and feckless, faithless and fallacious as well. Still, as any parent knows, one

loves one’s children, not because they are especially virtuous, or grateful, or dear, but above all

because they are one’s own. Such is the devotion of the Good Shepherd; he loves us because it is his

nature.

In Sermon 340 (on the anniversary of his ordination), St. Augustine wrote:

Without by means drawing a comparison with St. Augustine, the saint or the bishop, I find these

words comforting, for indeed it is not without some trepidation that I begin a new leadership role

among God’s people. Indeed, the long and happy era under the expert guidance of Fr. McCartney is a

tough act to follow. With you I will try to discern God’s invitation to a deeper fidelity to the Gospel

within our parish community. I hope to convene evenings of informal conversation about where we

are as a Church (both universal and local) and where we are called to be. We will then proceed

carefully to implement changes that will enhance the experience of faith, the beauty of worship, and

the practical demands these make of us as Catholic Christians. For you, I hope to be attentive when

exercising the pastoral and spiritual duties that bring healing to souls, delight to the heart, and wisdom

to the mind. Please pray for the new man, that he be worthy of so great a spiritual family.

Faithfully,

Fr. Valentine

In the Incarnation (Christ) takes the lost sheep, human nature, humanity as a whole,

onto his shoulders and carries it home. The image of the shepherd thus sums up the

whole of salvation history: God’s entry into history, the Incarnation, the pursuit of the

lost sheep and the homeward path into the Church…

Where I’m terrified by what I am for you, I am given comfort by what I am with

you. For you I am a bishop, with you, after all, I am a Christian. The first is the name

of an office undertaken, the second a name of grace; that one means danger, this one

salvation.

MAY is Mary’s month, and I Muse at that and wonder why: Her feasts follow reason,

Dated due to season—

Candlemas, Lady Day; But the Lady Month, May, Why fasten that upon her, With a feasting in her honour? Is it only its being brighter Than the most are must delight her? Is it opportunest And flowers finds soonest? Ask of her, the mighty mother: Her reply puts this other Question: What is Spring?— Growth in every thing— Flesh and fleece, fur and feather, Grass and greenworld all together; Star-eyed strawberry-breasted Throstle above her nested Cluster of bugle blue eggs thin Forms and warms the life within; And bird and blossom swell In sod or sheath or shell.

All things rising, all things sizing Mary sees, sympathising With that world of good, Nature’s motherhood. Their magnifying of each its kind

With delight calls to mind How she did in her stored Magnify the Lord. Well but there was more than this: Spring’s universal bliss Much, had much to say To offering Mary May. When drop-of-blood-and-foam-dapple Bloom lights the orchard-apple And thicket and thorp are merry With silver-surfèd cherry And azuring-over greybell makes Wood banks and brakes wash wet like lakes And magic cuckoocall Caps, clears, and clinches all— This ecstasy all through mothering earth Tells Mary her mirth till Christ’s birth To remember and exultation In God who was her salvation.
