Comments from Deacon Dale Brown We get a glimpse of life in the first "parish" - in

Jerusalem, soon after the Resurrection - in today's

First Reading. Three characteristics stand out, which

can help us reflect on our own Christian identity

even today. First, the community of believers is

steadily growing. The Church is a living body of

believers in Christ, and living things are meant to

grow. If a community of Christians is not growing,

something is wrong; ours is a missionary religion.

Christ sent His Apostles to preach His Word to all

people; the Church is meant to spread into every

corner of time and space. Second, there is a clear

structure of authority in the Church community. The

Twelve Apostles are its leaders, as Jesus intended,

and they solve the new problem that arises by

ordaining the first Deacons. Today as well, every

Catholic community is organized with the same

hierarchical structure. First there is the pope, the

successor St Peter, leader of the Twelve Apostles.

Then there is the local bishop, successor of those

Apostles. Then there is the pastor of the parish, the

bishop's representative for a specific area. None of

them govern by their own authority. Rather, they

receive their authority from Christ, through the

sacrament of orders. By obeying them, in matters of

faith and morals, Christians are obeying Christ

Himself. Finally, even at the very beginning of the

Church, we see that there are disagreements among

believers. The Greek-speaking believers complain

about being treated as second-class Christians. This

is the point I would like to focus on today. Our faith

in Christ does not make us perfect right away, just

as it did not make the first Christians perfect right

away. Spiritual growth is a life-long process. The

first Christians had to work through conflicts and

selfish tendencies; so, do we all.

We look forward to seeing you the weekend of the

16th and 17th. Please watch all our website and

Facebook announcements pertaining to the social

distance rules we must all follow. We are working

on ways to get through this and will need volunteers

to help, and patience from every one during these

upcoming weeks. God Bless and HAPPY

MOTHERS DAY!

May 10-16 May 10 – MOTHER’DAY is a special day in the USA to

honor all MOTHERS. It was founded by Anna Jarvis (from

W. VA) in the early 20th century, who continued the work

started by her mother, Anna Reeves Jarvis, who cared for

wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War

(1861-1865). She believed that mothers care more for you

than any other person in the world. In 1914, President Wood-

row Wilson signed a proclamation designating the 2nd Sunday

of May as a special day to honor all mothers.

May 13 – Feast Day of OUR LADY OF FATIMA, a title

given to the BVM based upon the famed 1917 Marian appari-

tions in Fatima, Portugal by 3 shepherd children, Lucia dos

Santos, & Francisco and Jacinta Marto.

May 14 – Feast Day of St. Matthias, Apostle of Jesus

Christ, chosen after the Resurrection to replace Judas. St.

Matthias had followed Jesus since His baptism by John the

Baptist.

May 16 – ARMED FORCES DAY – a day to pay tribute to

the men & women who serve in the US Armed Forces, origi-

nated by President Truman and established as a national holi-

day by President Kennedy.

Prayer for Pregnant Mothers

Dear Father, we ask you to protect the little babies who are being knit together in their mothers’ wombs.

Comfort their mothers & fathers during the time they are growing & developing. Lord Jesus, give these smallest of

persons the strength to come into this world, to fully participate in your creation. Send your Holy Spirit to infuse their souls with love for you. After long, healthy, & loving lives, bring them safely home to your heavenly kingdom.

Amen.
