Dear Parishioners,
The Lord Jesus in the Gospel this week
encourages his disciples to not be afraid. He does
this often in the sacred scriptures. It is a good
word of advice. It is an important word of advice. In so many ways the Lord is
encouraging us not to be afraid to be part of the community that cares for each other, that shares
one another’s burdens, that generously shares resources, that becomes involved in each other’s lives, that boldly proclaims the Gospel and that
courageously goes about building the kingdom of God.
I love the beautiful image of the early church
portraited in the Acts of the Apostles: “Meanwhile the church throughout Judea,
Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up. Living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort
of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.”
We are all called to this idyllic community of believers. It is never fully realized but it is the
ideal we strive for. The words of Oscar Romero help to keep this in perspective:
“Let us not forget we are a pilgrim church, subject to misunderstanding, to persecution,
but a church that walks serene because it bears the force of love.”
We bear the force of Christ’s love thus we are
not afraid to stand: in solidarity with the victims of gun violence in a
world captivated by our gun culture;
in solidarity with families throughout the world who strive to hold on to hope for their children;
in solidarity with the poor and hungry by cultivating the community garden so as to generate resources for the impoverished;
in solidarity with our neighbor who seeks a sense of peace and security in our troubled world;
in solidarity with members of St. Ambrose Parish and St. James Parish as we all attempt
to walk as a pilgrim church in the ways of the Gospel.

FORMED has something for the whole family! Jesus Stories were created to help children apply the lessons found in the parables of Jesus. Each 10 minute episode includes a story situation that children today can relate to, a parable, and a thought-provoking way to apply it. In this episode, The Merchant and His Treasure, we learn how sometimes it's important to give up what we want for what is truly best!
