Breaking Open the Word
April 19, 2020
Second Sunday of Easter
(or Sunday of Divine Mercy)
Lectionary: 43 Gospel JN 20:19-31
Spiritual Reflection:
“The Cross had asked the questions; the Resurrection
had answered them. The Cross had asked: ‘Why does
God permit evil and sin to nail Justice to a tree?’ The
Resurrection answered: ‘That sin, having done its
worst, might exhaust itself and thus be overcome by
Love that is stronger than either sin or death.’”
-Archbishop Fulton Sheen
God’s forgiveness is greater than our sins.
Spiritual Questions:
1. When I recall my vocation story, how has God been
merciful to me?
2. What is locked in my own “upper room” and how
can I let Christ in?
3. Am I in touch with my personal doubts about God’s
merciful presence and how do I deal with them?
4. What barriers (walls) does God have to go through
in order to reach me?
5. What do I expect to get in return by believing in the
Risen Christ?

Due to the cancellation of public Masses we will suspend requests for
intentions until further notice. Mass intentions that have been requested
and already scheduled will be honored during Fr. Pastorius’ daily private
Mass in the order that they were scheduled. Since he is saying only one
Mass a day there will be an abundance of requests that will not be
fulfilled until our schedule returns to normal. Please know that all
intentions not used during this time will be rescheduled when normal
Masses resume.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Parish Office is CLOSED.
Employees will be coming in periodically to check mail and voicemails and
many are continuing to work from home. Please be patient as we all adjust
to this new way of doing business. If you need to speak to someone in the
office but are not sure who to direct your call to, please leave a message for
Maria Murillo and she will be sure to forward your request/question to the
correct employee. She can be reached at 636-227-5247 ext. 1604.
1. Imperfect Gratitude I wish that I had
the right words to express the gratitude I
have in my heart for everyone who has
continued to support our parish financially
through these difficult times and for those
who have supported Fr. Ricardo and me
during this time with your kind words,
emails and cards. I never thought there
would be a time in my priesthood where I
would be told that I could not celebrate
Mass publicly for the good of the people of
God. This is the reality that we are in. One
of the many little sayings that I say to
myself is, “I don’t have to understand here
to be here.” I am not sure where I first
heard that phrase but I have repeated it to
myself when I am confused about knowing
what the next steps are going to be. I use it
as a call to action, and so even though I do
not have adequate words to express my
gratitude, know that I am deeply grateful
for all of you.
Just as there are no words to express my
gratitude, there are also no words to
express the level of concern I have for each
of you. Please know that I am praying
constantly for all of you and in a special
way for those who are working as first-
responders, medical workers, and all other
essential workers. My heart goes out to all
of you, especially all the children and teens
of the parish who have had their lives
disrupted, and in a special way those in
eighth grade and high school seniors.
As I journey through this difficult time, I
remind myself often of St. Ignatius’s rules
of discernment. He states in these rules
that God never wills times of desolation.
He allows them but never causes them.
Desolation is the term that St. Ignatius
used for times when God feels absent. St.
Ignatius points out that God allows these
times of desolation to take place because
He knows that He can bring a greater good
out of it. While I am not sure what this
greater good is or if I will even know it in
my lifetime, I am trying to trust in the Lord
by focusing on the smaller blessings that I
have in the past taken for granted. For
example, one family dropped off chocolate
Easter eggs and homemade Easter cards on
Easter. I have enjoyed “Zooming” with our
youth group on Sunday nights and getting
to know them better. The response to my
daily video reflections has stirred up in me
a greater desire to know scripture better
and has helped me connect with
parishioners in new ways. Our Stephen
Ministers have done an amazing job of
reaching out to the seniors of our parish
and our Saint Vincent DePaul Society
continues to do amazing work serving the
poor.
I pray that this time of social distancing
comes to an end soon and I look forward to
celebrating Mass and attending other
parish events with you all in person soon.
2. “Live this difficult moment with the
strength of faith, the certainty of hope,
and the fervor of Charity.” – Pope
Francis Archbishop Carlson has extended
his order for no public Masses for another
few weeks. Our parish was not, and is not,
set up for online streaming (I am not a
computer expert so I can’t explain why), so
we are recording the Sunday Mass ahead of
time and uploading it to our website. In
addition, I am uploading a daily reflection
on the Gospel and Greg Barker and Deacon
Dan are hosting different events through
Zoom. There are also family activities
available to download on our website.
Please go to www.stjoemanchester.org for
more information.
3. Parish Council It is time for us to have
new members added to the Parish Council.
When I first became pastor, I was told by
“experts” in the field of lay ministry that
the new way of doing parish council was to
have twelve people serve simultaneous
three-year terms. After three years of being
at St. Joseph, I do not think it is in the
parish’s or my best interest to have a
complete change over on the parish council
at this time. I am therefore going to ask
four of the twelve to remain for one more
year. Then I will choose (by drawing
names out of a hat) four people to serve a
two-year term and four more for a three-
year term. In this way, the new Parish
Council will consist of four returning
members, four new members with two-
year terms and four new members with
three-year terms. The role of the council is
to form a small faith community with the
pastor. In this community the pastor
shares his ideas about the future of the
parish and he feels comfortable enough to
allow the council to challenge him. If you
are interested please email me at
4. Shout Out A shout out goes to our
maintenance team who have seized this
opportunity to complete some major
projects and do some much needed
cleaning.

Today we
celebrate
Divine Mercy Sunday. God’s greatest
desire is to forgive us, pouring out His
infinite mercy upon us so that we may
be healed. Women and men alike who
have been involved in an abortion may
feel deep grief, guilt, anxiety,
depression, anniversary reactions to the
date of the abortion or what would
have been the baby’s due date, broken
relationships and a sense of alienation
from God and the Church. If this is you,
we want you to know that your
Church cares. Seek the Lord’s mercy
and healing through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. Consider confidential,
compassionate help from Project
Rachel, a confidential Catholic
ministry offering hope and healing to
women and men hurting from past
abortions. Select “Find Help” from the
menu on HopeAfterAbortion.org to
find the diocesan ministry near you.

Spiritual Ponderings
Growing Old Gracefully
Using Richard Johnson’s book: A New Vision of Parish Ministry for Maturing Adults: How to
Construct, Organize, and Sustain a Vibrant Faith Formation Program for the Second Half of Life, we have
been reflecting on what it means to grow old gracefully. Richard Johnson lays out 12
principals for developing a parish ministry geared towards older adults. Quotes from this
book will be in bold. My reflections will be in the normal font.
Principal #7 The goal of parish ministry for maturing adults is spiritual transformation.
Personal Goal #7: I will look at aging as an opportunity to grow closer to God and not as a
curse. I should not be surprise that God wants to make me into something better.
So often we become blinded by our worldly attitudes that over-value personal
achievement, production, and vocational performance above all other values. Too easily
we equate younger with heightened performance and older with diminished
performance. While such beliefs may dimly reflect reality on the form level, they clearly
do not approach reality on a spiritual level.
Catholicism always sees each person as a person and that each person has innate God- given
dignity that can never be tarnished by what we do. All human beings are equally loved and
treasured by God. The sad part is that we often devalue people in our mind. God did not
hold “age” against Abraham, Sarah, Hannah, or Elizabeth.
Transformative learning allows us to realign our true selves with God.
The more positive one is with his or her self-esteem the more he or she will live a more
fulfilling life. The Gospel as St. John tells us is that God did not send the Son into the world
to condemn us but to save us and give life eternal (John 3:16). The voices of self-
condemnation are not the voice of God.
Principal #8 The content of programs offered in a parish ministry for maturing adults
rises out of the real situations in which such people live, including moments of
transitions and daily life.
Personal Goal #8: I will apply my spiritual life to my real life. I will act the same way
Saturday afternoon as I do on Sunday morning. There will be no duplicity within me.
Developing a new perspective on sickness makes all the difference in how spiritually
maturing adults see themselves… Wellness is an all-encompassing notion that includes
finding fulfilment on three levels of mature human living. The first level of wellness is
on the physical level; we simply call this “well.” The second aspect of wellness is
wellness of the mind, which we call “wisdom.” The third aspect of wellness resides on
the spiritual level of the soul, which we call “whole.” At every life step and stage, we
seek to become well, wise, and whole. This is particularly important in the maturing
years, for it’s here that one has developed an adequate level of maturation necessary to
really get a grip on these three aspects of wellness in a comprehensive way.
I want to be a person of authenticity and integrity and this can only happen if I allow God to
give me my identity. If I focus too much on what others think of me, I will find myself acting
differently with different groups of people. This is not always easy because we often desire
affirmation.
Principal #9 Parish ministry for maturing adults focuses on both interior and exterior
growth.
Personal Goal #9: I will try to keep myself physically fit and spiritually on fire for God.
The changes that later life brings can be received as opportunities or as threats. The
purpose of later life is to usher in a renewal of spirit where a new forum for growth and
happiness can emerge… Growth and happiness flow from the quest to discover new
purpose, new meanings, and new life.
As we live our lives change will happen. We cannot all stay at home with our parents
forever, we cannot keep our children from growing up, we cannot stop the aging process,
etc. This means that we can either embrace these changes as opportunities or we can see
them as curses. If we see them as opportunities and trust that God is with us in them, we
can grow through these experiences. I think a prime example of this is seeing how many
older adults have found joy in becoming grandparents.
Growing older means that I have to take care of myself physically because I appreciate being
alive, or it becomes a chore that I neglect. I know that I take better care of myself the more
grateful I am for all that God has done for me.
The covid-19 virus has
dramatically altered
everyday living. We
want you to know that
even though we have
suspended ‘home visits’ to our
neighbors in need we are still making
phone calls and ‘virtual visits.’ If you or
someone you know needs help with
food or financial assistance please call
our St. Vincent de Paul office phone at
636-779-5616. All calls are
confidential. We pray for God’s loving
grace and protection.

Stephen Ministry Why
Lay Ministry? Stephen
Ministry is based on the
idea that all Christians are
ministers. The
responsibility for passing on God’s love
is for all Christians, not just for a chosen
few. God has given us all gifts for
ministry and called us to put those gifts
to use. Stephen Ministry is a place
where people with special gifts for
caring ministry can use those gifts to
bring Christ’s love to people in need.

The word voca�on comes from the La�n word
vocare, meaning “to call.” A voca�on is a
calling or invita�on from God to serve in a
par�cular way. For Catholics, that calling might

Sharing the Gospel Jesus gave the power to forgive sins through his apostles. Today the priests are his apostles. They remind us of
how God forgives our sins. You have the power to forgive those who hurt you. It is your choice to forgive as Jesus has forgiven you. It
is healthy for you to forgive. Anger makes your body tense and your muscles ache. When you forgive others, God sends his love to fill
your body and soul with peace.
Prayer Lord, help me forgive those who hurt me.
Something to Draw Draw yourself forgiving a friend who broke something you treasure.
Mission for the Week I will pray for those who hurt me and forgive them. Tell a friend or family member you forgive them if they
hurt you.
