Next weekend, May 19 and 20, we
will take up a special Collection for the Church in
Latin America. For many in Latin America and the
Caribbean, rural terrain and a lack of ministers are
obstacles to practicing their faith.
Your support to the collection will help provide lay
leadership training, catechesis, priestly and
religious formation, as well as other programs to
help share our faith with those who long to hear
the Good News of Christ.
Please prayerfully consider supporting this
collection as a way to share your faith with our
brothers and sisters in Latin America and the
Caribbean.

7TH SUNDAY OF EASTER — YYEAREAR B B MMAYAY 13,13, 20182018
T he apostles have been
adapting to a new reality:
living with the Risen Lord.
He came to them when they least
expected it: in the first place, on Easter
Sunday, when He first appeared, to the
various appearances in Jerusalem and
later at the Sea of Galilee, until finally, at
last, He has been raised up into Heaven.
And now, we stand with the Apostles,
gazing dumbfoundedly into the sky.
So now He has gone. But the memories
are too many for us to forget Him: we
think of when He first walked by the
shore of our lives and called us; when He
preached the Beatitudes; the miracles, the
healings, the forgiveness of sins and then
we can imagine the apostles recalling
that blessed night of the Last Supper,
and these words of our Lord.
If there was one phrase of His that
could summarize His life on earth, His
whole purpose, perhaps it was this:
I glorified you on earth by accomplishing
the work that you gave me to do. It was
you who sent me here on this mission: to
reveal your face to those who sought you.
And I have fulfilled this mission perfectly,
out of love. What an example of fidelity
and love for God! Jesus completes His
role to perfection: in every moment, He
seeks to fulfill the Father's will out of
love. Not fear, certainly not because He
feels good, but because love is real. And
this is what goes through the apostles'
minds as they await the coming of the
promised Advocate.
The whole mission of Christ was to
reveal God's name: Our Father. God is
not a vengeful, spiteful god who meddles
pettily in human affairs. He is Love.
And it is Christ who has shown us
who He really is. With what delicacy, with
what total fidelity Christ fulfilled His
Father's will in every moment. How often
He spoke of His Father. How often He
stepped aside to get a few moments or a
few hours in prayer with Him. And it was
His Father whom He communicated in
every act of his life.
Christ's life is a whole lesson in
perseverance, hard work, and fidelity to
God. He gives us great reason to trust in
God: when it gets tough to fulfill God's
will, when everything else goes against
us, when our feelings flare up or we just
don't feel like giving more is when we can
draw real strength from Christ.
He went through the same in
Gethsemane, on Calvary, when the
Pharisees and so many people stood
against Him and challenged Him he
remained faithful, He gave a little more.
And in these days before Pentecost, the
apostles were beginning to put all this
together. Little do they know it, but they
are about to embark on the greatest
mission mankind has ever known.
AND WE, TOO,
ARE CALLED TO
CONTINUE THIS MISSION.
When the Apostles received their
mission on Ascension Day and when they
received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost,
they were continuing the very same
mission of Jesus Christ on this earth, a
mission that continues to this day. What
an incredible grace we ourselves are
living, we are called to live in the same
period of the Church after Pentecost.
Christ has ascended, the Holy Spirit has
come and the Church is alive. This
mission cannot allow us to remain static.
It entails a real experience of who Christ
is and who God our Father is, and how
much He loves me.
Our Father knows what we want
before we ask Him. As we go about our
day, we ought to have great trust in God
and we must never be afraid to do His will.
Not only will it turn out to be good for us,
but it will be better than we imagined.
We will be living our faith, building our
relationship with God through our actions,
and bringing the message of Christ as a
sweet treasure to those around us.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, give me the grace
always to seek the Father's will with
humility and to trust in You as I strive to
bring the Gospel to all those around me.
ACT OF CONTRITION PRAYER: MY GOD, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because
I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving
of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

While I wait in the grocery checkout line, the glossy, color
magazine covers with their spectacular headlines often catch
my eye, but on this particular day, the cashier drew my
attention. He was short and stocky, with hair that touched his
collar, a scruffy beard, and large gauges in his ears. But one of
his tattoos intrigued me the most. Why would a 20-something
guy have a cuckoo clock covering the inside of his forearm?
“That’s an interesting tattoo,” I said as he scanned my
produce and canned goods.“Thanks.” He smiled. “It’s a replica of
my grandfather’s cuckoo clock that he brought from Germany.”
And then he told me how much he loved his grandfather. How he
enjoyed watching and listening to the cuckoo clock when he was a
child. For the few minutes that he rang up and bagged my
purchases, we connected over our mutual love of cuckoo clocks.
In times past, I was quick to size up another person in the
mall or a restaurant. I’d see someone with tattoos and
immediately place them in a less-than-positive category. I’d
evaluate someone’s choice of clothing. Their odd (in my
opinion) hair color. Pink? Teal? Rainbow highlights, anyone? I’d
approve or not approve someone in passing, almost without
realizing it. And then one day as I mentally assessed someone’s
hairstyle or makeup or who knows what, these words crossed
my mind: made in the image of God. That short phrase threw
a virtual roadblock up in front of my judgmental attitude. “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image
of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
Every person I cross paths with is made in God’s image.
Yes, they may decide to decorate themselves with piercings or
an unusual hairstyle or outfit. They may wear a lot of eyeliner or
none at all. None of these things negates what God declared:
His image is imprinted on each and every one of them.
Ethnicity doesn’t mar His image, either. Rather, different
nationalities display God’s image in fascinatingly beautiful ways.
As I go through my day, I remind myself that each person I
meet is created in God’s image. Yes, sometimes I may hesitate
over someone’s outer appearance, but God looks at a person’s
heart. And I don’t want to miss an opportunity to connect with
someone on a more personal level because of what they look like.
Now when I see someone with a tattoo, I figure there’s a story
there. If I recognize ink-scrawled words, I’ll ask what they say.
Oftentimes it’s a favorite quote and we can connect because
I’m a quote aficionado. Or sometimes it’s in memory of a loved
one and I can honor that. I might compliment someone’s smile
or hair color or fun shoes — and when their eyes light up, I’m
reminded the image of God shines inside of them.
Dear God, help me look past other people’s outward
appearances — what they’re wearing, how they do their hair —
and consider their hearts. I want to remember that each
person I meet today is made in Your image. May I look for an
opportunity to encourage someone today, reminding them
they are special … maybe even that they are loved by You.
