THIS WEEK’S WORSHIP AID/BULLETIN

Glory to God Mass of the Angels and Saints, Steven Janco

“Healer of Our Every Ill” Marty Haugen JOSH JOHNSON IS BLACK. His dad is a retired police department captain. His mom is white. He is a Catholic priest, the pastor of a parish in the Diocese of Baton Rouge, La. His experience is an-ecdotal, it’s only his experience. But,

maybe his rather unique experience and perspective helps us listen as Los Angels Archbishop Jose Gomez encouraged us to do shortly after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. And maybe our listening helps us learn. “I have a very unique perspec-tive on everything,” Fr. Johnson told a reporter. “I perceive that God created me for a time such as this.” Talking about racism is some-thing he’s been doing since he was or-dained six years ago, but he says there didn’t seem to be many people willing to listen. He hopes recent events are recti-fying that indifference. He hopes that what he’s experienced might no longer be the norm. “If I go to the gym to work out and I’m in my workout clothes, I get fol-lowed still,” he said. “It’s crazy to me. I’m not sagging my pants. I’m just a black man and I get followed. There was one time when a member of law enforce-ment, the second I walked in a grocery store, every single aisle I went down he went down with me and just had the most angry expression on his face. He made it very clear to me that I wasn’t welcome in the store.

Gospel Acclamation: Mass of the Angels and Saints Steven Janco

Profession of Faith (The Apostles’ Creed) I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was cru-cified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the

right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Fr. Tom Lindner, Pastor frtom@stanneswausau.org | Ext. 309

Pastoral Care and Communion to the Homebound

Restrictions on visits by pastors to parish-ioners in the hospitals have begun to ease. However, it is still helpful if Fr. Tom is notified of a hospitalized parishioner’s desire to be anointed or visited. Contact him at frtom@stanneswausau.org or 715.849.3930, ext. 309. We are still not able to resume our ministry of bringing communion to homebound parishioners. It is not safe for our ministers or those they visit.

Amen

“We Are Many Parts” 1 Corinthians, Marty Haugen

RACISM / from Page 1

“Finally, I just walked out. I remember thinking what could have happened in that situation if I had asked him what’s going on. I wonder if I would have been one of the people like a George Floyd, who was arrested and maybe brutalized. I have always wondered. When I see these videos and these images of people like George Floyd getting killed on tape, it’s really trauma-tizing. “That could have been me. That cop had no idea who my father was. When I get fol-lowed, they have no idea that I’m someone’s pastor. They have no idea all the stuff I’ve done for the poor in our com-munity.” Fr. Johnson believes the Church must be an essential part of resolving the plague of rac-ism, and that central to that is seeking out other voices and

perspectives. “Sometimes, I think, what happens is we can live in echo chambers, so we just see and hear people who look like us, think like us and act like us, so everything seems like, ‘What’s the problem?’ When we break out of the echo chamber, we realize there is so much more. It’s not just the minds and hearts of white people that Fr. Johnson wants to change. He also wants to encourage peo-ple of color. “It’s a message of hope that I try to speak to my broth-ers and sisters of color. You’re not alone. I’m with you, but Christ is with us. He’s very close to the brokenhearted right now. Our hearts are broken. They’ve been broken for a very long time. But the resurrection is right on the other side of the cross. It is. It’s a message of hope – grieving and hope.” TL

Reflecting on Today’s Readings

In the first reading from the second book of Kings, we find an example of hospitality in the care given to Elisha. How does hospitality figure into the life of your family? How have you adapted so as to offer hospitality even in this time of precaution? How can a parish community still be hospitable in these times? The psalmists proclaims, “Forever, I will sing the goodness of the Lord.” For which of God’s blessings are you particularly thankful today? St. Paul urges the Romans to think of themselves as “dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.” Within your daily life what are the actions or habits that show you are a person “living for God”? Jesus tells the apostles, “Whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.” What does the cross look like that you are called to carry?
