A Note from our PastorFather Mark Arnzen
Where did the time go? It's May already and each May 1st I get to celebrate the greatest gift of all:another year of life. Where did the time go? This year was #57 on the old ticker of life and itseems just like yesterday that it was #56 or a few days ago that my family and I celebrated #50 atBryce Canyon and Zion National Park or like a week ago when I celebrated #44 and wasordained a priest. The gift of this greatest blessing is the memories I have accumulated, the lifeexperiences I have shared and perhaps the small amount of wisdom I have gained. It is hard tocount them all, because of computer crashes and lost documents, but this is around Friday post#460. Some of them are lost to history but the 407 reflections that live on facebook are a good reminder of where Ihave been and hopefully point to where I will be going. In that post from November 2010 I wrote about my firstWorldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend (WWME) and shared this quote: "Venerable Concepcion Cabrera Armidaa twentieth century Mexican mystic writes this beautiful image, "To open the heart is to surrender what is mostintimate and personal. We all can enter into that open and empty space."" One of the great blessings of looking backover the ### of life (and these are numbers not hashtags) is the blessings that they stir in our souls. In truth someof the reflections are hard to read, they talk about hurt, death, brokenness and sin. Sometimes they remind me thatmy heart may have been to hard to see the fullness of what I was writing about and at other times to delicate inskirting the hard truths about our Catholic faith. Maybe this is one of the reasons I don't reread my reflections toooften...but it is a good act of humility.Read full Pastoral notes Notas pastorales completas
Sunday Reading Preview:May 6, 2018Sixth Sunday of Easter
Reading 1 ACTS 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48When Peter entered, Cornelius met himand, falling at his feet, paid him homage.Peter, however, raised him up, saying,"Get up. I myself am also a human being."Then Peter proceeded to speak and said,"In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightlyis acceptable to him."While Peter was still speaking these things,the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.The circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter
were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spiritshould have been poured out on the Gentiles also,for they could hear them speaking in tongues and glorifyingGod. Then Peter responded,"Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people,
