Seeking Peace & Love in a World of Chaos and Hate
Guest Speaker Dcn. Steve Spilman from the Diocese of New Ulm
Peace and Love are available out there for all of God’s followers. When I chose the title, “Seeking Peace and Love in
a World of Chaos and Hate”, I selected the verb “seeking” to demonstrate that we can take intentional actions that
will lead us to the Peace and Love we desire and not just ‘find’ it in a haphazard or chance manner by moving aim-
lessly through life’s journey. It is my hope that you will leave this Day of Reflection with a few new thoughts and ide-
as, feeling empowered in your world situation to intentionally seek Peace and Love.
Cost: Freewill offering event

Just a bit from Fr. Schmidt Lifeblood Freely Given
During this pandemic, I’ve seen several reminders that people are still able and highly encouraged to donate blood. Hospitals obviously still need a supply for live-saving procedures. Sounds like they’ll be receiving dona-tions in Hoven on Monday, so I should be able to give. My parents have donated blood for several years, into the gallons of blood by now. Probably the last time I gave down in Elk Point, I heard about an interesting differ-ence between donating whole blood rather than being compensated for giving blood plasma. I was told that in the United States, federal law only allows blood that has been given freely to be used for direct transfusions. It is thought that those who are being paid for their plasma might be more motivated to lie on the questionnaire. Now I’m not saying that there isn’t a need for plasma donation or that they don’t make life-saving treatments from the proteins found in plasma, but I found it interesting that it is only blood freely given that is used for transfusions. I do always enjoy the refreshments available after donating, but I suppose those aren’t enough motivation—for most people—to lie on the questionnaire and bleed for ten minutes or more just for some cookies and juice.
In Biblical times, blood was seen as life itself (Cf. Leviticus 17:11), quite logically, because they observed that someone or something losing all of its blood would lose all of its life as well. So when Jesus freely pours out His Blood for us on the Cross and gives us His Blood in the Eucharist, He gives us His very Life so that He can live in us and we can have true life in Him. Jesus holds nothing back and looks only for our feeble love in return. In-deed, it is only by His grace that we are able to love Him in return at all. “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13).
During this month of July, dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Christ, may we come to appreciate more deeply the gift of His Life’s Blood, freely poured out for our salvation, so that we can imitate Jesus more completely in pouring out our lives and our blood for one another.
Word of Life “Married love differs from any other love in the world. By its nature, the love of husband and wife is so complete, so or-dered to a lifetime of communion with God and each other, that it is open to creating a new human being they will love and care for together. … That power to create a new life with God is at the heart of what spouses share with each other.”
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops “Married Love and the Gift of Life”
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the unborn, pray for us. St. Joseph, patron of the unborn, pray for us.
