hange sometimes involves deep and profound shifts in our way of being; like turbulent water,

such transitions are sometimes precarious, yet always buoyant and consistently fertile with the promise of new birth. To navigate the waters of transition successfully requires that we access the wisdom of the past, prepare for the challenges of the future and respond fully and creatively to the present moment of grace.

FROM THE OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT We are so very pleased to announce the addition of The Ginger Griesen Endowed Scholarship Fund to our Legacy Endowment Portfolio. Debi Dixon, a close friend of Ginger’s, has endowed the scholarship with a generous donation to honor her memory and lifelong contribution to St Michael the Archangel Parish.

Our parish community remembers Ginger as an extremely generous, kind, loving, and patient staff member. If any parishioner wishes to contribute to this fund, you can do so by contacting Director of Development, John DeCola, at the parish or sending the donation directly to Stark Community Foundation, Attn: Bridgette Neisel.

Ms. Dixon’s generous contribution will insure that a yearly stipend is paid out to provide scholarship assistance to a needy student, ad infinitum. We are extremely grateful for her thoughtful, targeted gift in honor of Ginger’s memory.

MORE ON WALKING MEDITATION There is a Zen tradition called “walking meditation” which invites us to do exactly what we do all the time: walk! But now we are invited to walk with awareness, slowly, mindfully. Not walking in order to hurry from here to there, but walking for its own sake and to be purely in the present moment,

enjoying each step we take. If we transform our daily walks into a meditation, our feet will take each step with awareness. Our breathing and our stepping will be in harmony and our mind will be free to find peace and joy. And to cause peace and joy to flow through us to others.

As far back as 1930, Romano Guardini, the great Catholic liturgist, also spoke of the sacramentality of walking: “Walking is the expression of essentially human nobility. The upright carriage of the who masters one’s self, who bears one’s self along calmly and quietly—that is a human privilege.” Walking upright means being a human.

But we are even more than just human. Scripture says that we are the “offspring of God, reborn of God to a new life.” Imagine! We should walk as though we remembered that Christ lives in us. His body dwells in our flesh; his blood circulates in our veins. For “they that eat my flesh and drink my blood, abide in me and I in them.” Guardini goes on to say “The knowledge of this mystery could find its expression in walking rightly, joyfully, with graceful and firm movement. It could be a profound fulfillment of the command: ‘Walk before me and be perfect.’”

We can transform our “daily constitutional” into walking meditation. Breathing and stepping in rhythm. Watching the firm, joyful steps we take. Walking in the faith that Christ is formed in us; that all that we do has become part of Christ’s life in us.

1. A donor makes an irrevocable gift in any amount to The St. Michael the Archangel Legacy Fund, an endowment fund administered by Stark Community Foundation.

2. The donor receives an immediate tax deduction. 3. The donor’s gift is added to St. Michael’s endowment fund and invested in the Foundation’s nearly $300 million well-

diversified pool. 4. St. Michael’s fund balance grows based on investments. 5. The permanent endowment fund provides a dedicated source of income to support the Church’s programs and

ministries.

Paper Recycling

The response from this “ASK” last week was terrific…. If you missed it here it is again!!

Questions for business owners:

If your business generates a substantial amount of paper, cardboard, newspaper etc. would you consider having a bin placed at your location?

Proceeds generated will benefit our Emergency Assistance program and help reduce your trash pick-up costs. A win-win situation since there is no fee associated with this program.

Several business owners in our parish have already jumped on board! We could use your help…..the needs are great!
