DEAR PARISHIONERS...

We have much to celebrate! On this Trinity Sunday, let us give thanks for three things:

First, for the first of hopefully many young men to be ordained from this parish. This coming Saturday, June 6, Michael Thiel will be ordained a transitional deacon at 10 am at the Cathedral. This is a great moment for our parish. You are invited to this ordination and my hope is to fill the Cathedral that morning and again at our Saturday 5 pm Mass where Michael will Deacon and preach. There is a parish reception following. Second, in the same Mass at the Cathedral will be a priestly ordination. Deacon Edward, currently a transitional Deacon, will be ordained a priest. Since priesthood assignments can not be made until ordination, and we are the only parish in need of a priest according to the last assignments, I suggest you put two and two together and be there to pray and congratulate him on his new assignment. Third, we have done it! Great news! We have met our Bishop’s Appeal in record time! Thank you to all our donors! Last year, which was the first year in my ten years here that we met the goal, we did it in the fall. This year we made it by Memorial day! Now if you were considering a gift, you may still donate. What happens is half will stay at the diocese and half will come back to the parish, which we will put towards our Renewed in Faith project, specifically towards multi-media upgrades that are happening.

Thank you , Thank you, Thank you.

Fr. Doug PS: Fr Jason’s father, Douglas Blahnik, passed away last week. Please remember Fr. Jason and his family in prayer. If you would like to do something, you might consider a Mass offering of $10. You can send it in a card to Fr. Jason at the Newman Center, 800 W Elmwood Avenue, Oshkosh, WI 54901

MAY 31, 2015 THE MOST HOLY TRINITY | 5

Reflecting on the Scriptures Brothers and sisters: For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will. At some time I believe all of us have experienced feelings beyond words, and articulation of what is in our hearts is not possible. Like a crying child who is asked, “What’s wrong?”, I may only be able to respond, “I don’t know” because I can’t name it.

Indeed, it is the Holy Spirit who knows and understands what is in my heart before I am even cognizant that I am feeling empty, lonely, listless. The movement is so deep in my soul that I cannot speak about it. Paul articulates this part of the Christian life in terms of the need to be led by the Spirit. The Spirit is God at work in the world and in the human soul. It is the Holy Spirit within communing with our spirit and with God. Paul’s relational language is intimate, pointing to a reality that is experienced at the deepest level within the context of a relationship of love. In our prayer lives, the Holy Spirit prays deeply beyond our deliberate efforts and beyond conscious awareness. The deepest desires of our hearts, not the superficial wants of this world, are prayed through the Spirit on our behalf as we are forever feeling incomplete, frustrated, and desiring of wholeness.

Our inner energy is forever pushing, forever desiring to be known, to be loved, and to be in oneness with the greatest love of all, namely, our Lord. Being overwhelmed by pressures of society, it is easy to feel lost itself in busyness, in “me-ness”, and in accumulation/ buying “stuff”, which leaves our lives lacking in depth and lacking in satisfaction and movement from emptiness to wholeness.

When we no longer know how to pray, the Spirit, in groans too deep for words, prays through us. “In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will.” (Romans 8:27)

Our deepest prayers are wordless, spoken only in silence----both gratitude and tears. I need only lift my heart

to the Lord in silence as I despair in anger, frustration, disappointment, unforgiveness, and envy. So I take

heart, knowing the Holy Spirit within me is interceding on my behalf. Yes, I am inadequate in my own prayer,

but the Lord has sent His Spirit so that the Holy Spirit can do for me in my deepest relationship, what I

cannot. What a great God I have who has taken care of me and provided even for that inadequacy. How

great is our God!

The Oshkosh Catholic Parishes would like to continue the tradition of celebrating Summer

We want to encourage all parish families to

participate and pray for our family members and friends who have moved on to life with Jesus Christ in heaven.

Please come even if you do not presently have loved ones in a particular cemetery. Your prayers and participation in

these Masses is a powerful witness to our Catholic faith in a

life beyond death with Christ.

Bring lawn chairs and plan to visit the graves of loved ones.

If it rains, we will postpone and plan another date that we

will announce in the bulletins.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the process that begins the Catholic journey of faith and seeks to answer your questions about the Church. Inquirers and team members meet together to break open the scriptures, share life and faith experiences, reflect on God’s grace and focus on questions about the Catholic faith.

If you or someone you know is interested in or

curious about the Catholic faith, consider the RCIA

program. There is nothing to sign or commit to.

The process is open to all adults. Contact Judy

WORKING WITH THE SCRIPTURES

Although no one I know has been able to definitively

find it in the sources, Francis of Assisi is supposed to

have told his disciples to “preach the Gospel; if

necessary, use words.” While no one can say just

where the quote is found, most agree that it sounds

like something Francis would have said.

“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations…”.

For Christians this command, which comes at the

very end of Matthew’s Gospel, constitutes our

‘marching orders’. What many people do not agree

on, however, is just how we are to do this. Are we

called to preach and teach in words? Or are we

called to preach and teach by our actions? How do

we “…make disciples…”? And where do we begin?

Well, it would probably be a good idea to begin right

where we are and, for many of us, where we are is at

work. So let’s start there.

Carolyn is a photographer. She photographs

weddings, graduations, family reunions, Bar

Mitzvahs, almost any family occasion you can think

of. Not an unusual profession. There are many small

studios like hers. What makes Carolyn different,

however, is that before she ever sets up a tripod or

positions a light she listens. She listens to brides and

graduates. She listens to grandmothers and proud

parents. Only then does she begin to photograph.

I once asked Carolyn why she takes so much time

with her subjects. I figured she could do a lot more

business, and make a lot more money, if she would

just use her head and be more efficient. Her answer

surprised me, although it probably shouldn’t have.

“Other people use their heads,” Carolyn said. “I

photograph by heart. To me, each person who comes

into my studio is Jesus, and I want Him to feel

welcome here.”

“Go…make disciples…”. When people hear that

Carolyn is a Christian they are seldom surprised.

They can tell by the way she does her work. If Jesus

were to walk into your workplace would He feel

welcome there? What does your work tell people

about you?
