Thoughts For The Week Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Recently I read a story about a family whose pet dog was
about to have puppies. Everyone was very excited, especially the
younger children. After much thought, Mom and Dad thought it
would be a good experience for the children to see the puppies born
---a natural introduction to an important process of life. The time
came, and all went well. Cynthia, the youngest, was spellbound by
it all---the most amazing thing she’d witnessed in her six years of
life. When it was all over, her thoughtful silence was broken at last,
with a question: “Well, I can see how they got out… but how did
they get in there?”
This is the sort of question well known to most parents; each
deals with it in the way that seems to be right at the time. But this
little girl’s question points us to a very everyday, but rather
mysterious, reality. However scientifically accurate and detailed
our reply to Cynthia’s question may be, it will never quite
“explain” how her new, individual puppies have come to be. The
coming to be of life where before there was none---in plants, or
animals, or human beings---remains startling and always new. We
get used to it; and it can take a child’s directness to remind us of
how, deep down, we don’t really know how this has just gone on
happening, while we were busy with other things.
It seems significant that, when Jesus wanted to speak of the
great mystery of the kingdom of God, what he turned to were these
same everyday, taken-for-granted mysteries of growth and
fruitfulness, as we hear in today’s Gospel Lesson. So often, the
stories Jesus tells are drawn from the world of planting, harvesting,
shepherding, pruning. We can think of him as someone who spent
time watching and reflecting upon these patterns of day-to-day life.
In his teaching we can see how Jesus recognises, in these mundane
realities, places of grace, and life-giving, and God’s work. Men and
women work the land, and plant the seed, and reap harvests; but
the growing itself, the journey from the tiny seed to the great tree
teeming with life---this goes on without us. God’s loving power is
secretly at work making our routine efforts abundant with life and
goodness. And this, Jesus tells us, is what God’s kingdom is like.
To preach the kingdom, as Jesus did, always carries with it
an element of risk. Indeed, in Jesus’ own time it sounded to some---
both friends and enemies---like a call to action, even a call to arms.
But this constant referring to the mystery of life itself warns against
such an action-oriented reading of the kingdom. Just like the
prophets before him, Jesus urges his followers to trust not in their
own efforts or plans, but in the mystery of God’s powerful, ever-
creative love for them. The sower still has to prepare the land, and
sow the seed; but the real work of new life happens in God’s secret
ways, while the sower sleeps, and gets on with the rest of life.
There are all sorts of routine things that human beings need
to fill their days with: getting and preparing food, keeping a place
to live in good order, earning enough money, looking after children
or others who need care. For Christians there is also the daily,
routine call to pray---we are called to this even though we may not
always see the point or feel we get much out of it. Many of us---at
different times in our lives---can find ourselves wondering about
the point of all this, about what it achieves; or we can be driven to
ever greater efforts of work and the bearing of heavy burdens, in
the name of achieving, making our mark. These may not be bad
things in themselves, but the mystery of the kingdom lies elsewhere
---in the powerful work of the Spirit, underlying all our little efforts,
and bringing life out of our simplest actions.
It may be worth wondering whether we could spend less
time and energy on our own efforts, and more on discerning and
rejoicing in God’s own work for our life. This work of the Spirit is
going on all the time and all around us. Sometimes we have to be
still for longer, in order to see it as Jesus did. And when we learn
better to see it, we will know how to respond; and our actions can
then mirror our daily prayer, that God’s kingdom come.
In your charity, pray for the sick and the lonely—visit them
if you can. Also, please remember to pray for all who have
wandered from the faith, and all who have died. May God always
be pleased with us!

11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so
that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he
has done in the body.” - 2 CORINTHIANS 5:10
We are accountable for the gifts God has given us on Earth –
our time, talent and treasure. One day each of us will be asked
by God what we did with those gifts. How will you respond?
This year has flown by us. Even the children have said that
it went by at a fast speed.
It feels strange! It seems that "yesterday" was dated as
September 1st and here we are in the middle of June.
However, I guess it's a good sign. The saying states - "Time
flies when you are having a good time." Yes, we had a good
year!
Teachers are beginning to miss their students - and - believe
it or not, children also miss their teachers during the summer
time. But, all of us do need a change every once in a while.
So, we wish everyone a happy, peaceful and safe summer.
However, during this "leisure time:, we will be found in te
school building. It's a time for placing everything in good
order and for preparing ourselves for a brand new school
year in 2012-2013. So - if you need us, don't hesitate to ring
the front doorbell.

Prayer for Fathers
St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and chaste
husband of Mary, you passed your life in
loving fulfillment of duty. You supported
the holy family of Nazareth with the work
of your hands. Kindly protect those who trustingly come to
you. You know their aspirations, their hardships, their
hopes. They look to you because they know you will under-
stand and protect them. You too knew trial, labor and weari-
ness. But amid the worries of material life, your soul was full
of deep peace and sang out in true joy through intimacy with
God’s Son entrusted to you and with Mary, his tender
Mother. Assure those you protect that they do not labor
alone. Teach them to find Jesus near them and to watch over
him faithfully as you have done. - Pope John XXII

“Blood Drive” Ministry Highlight of the week
Theresa Mayewski & Edith Pena
Twice a year, St. Ann’s sponsors a blood drive in conjunction
with NJ Blood Service. The blood drives help ensure that those
who need blood have an adequate and safe supply available.
Nine out of ten of us will need blood or blood products at some
point in our lives! The St. Ann Blood Drive insures that the
blood needs of our parishioners will be covered. We need
volunteers for sign-ups, phone calling, baking, set-up, serving
and clean-up on the day of the drive. Our next drive is
scheduled for August 12, 2012.
Summer Mass Schedule Update On May 19/20th we asked you to consider the possibility of
changing our current Mass schedule so that we could
include a 5:00pm evening Mass on Sundays for the summer.
We asked you to choose one of the 5 options below and this is
what you told us.
128 ballots were returned and this is what was said.
