SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER CHRISTIAN FORMATION WORSHIP ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL Year Two: Focus on the Domestic Church –Marriage & Family 6th Sunday of Easter "It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain." We sometimes tend to believe the opposite. It's not unusual for us to think, "I have chosen to be a Christian," and then to imagine that the process really started with us, that it was our initiative, our decision to believe, our act of faith that got the ball rolling in our spiritual life. Of course our decision is important, but Jesus reminds us today that he is actually the one who took the first step. He chose us. He called and invited us to be among his followers and friends. As the second reading tells us, "God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him." That happened first. The next step is ours, to accept this life that is offered to us through our own act of faith. The other part of this equation is that, as Jesus tells us, we have been chosen for a mission. This isn't all just about our personal faith and our relationship with him. He calls us to know and love him, and when we respond, we are "appointed" to be fruitful in the world. We are supposed to live our faith in such a way that something valuable, beautiful, and useful comes from it. Jesus sends us to make the world a better place, not in a vague, feel-good, fluffy way but in a real, concrete way. He equips us to bear fruit that will remain. This isn't superficial or flighty. The work we do in the world--whether it be alleviating the suffering of the sick and poor, evangelizing those who do not know about the gift of salvation, raising our children to be faithful Christians, or carrying out our career with integrity and generosity--all of this is meant to be the effect of our response to the call that Jesus gave us. ©Liturgical Publications Inc. Deacon Corner: (By Deacon Al) One of the gifts we have as a part of our faith are the appearances of the Blessed Mother. On the grounds near Champion, Wisconsin over 150 years ago, the Holy Mother appeared to the young Adele Brise and instructed her to teach the children in the faith. This is where Sister Adele began her work and inspired the efforts of generations of faithful Christians. The Lady was elevated slightly in a bright light and gave words of solace and comfort and a bold and challenging mission for the young immigrant woman. The Lady gave her a two-fold mission of prayer for the conversion of sinners and catechesis. “I am the Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same. You received Holy Communion this morning and that is well. But you must do more. Make a general confession and offer Communion for the conversion of sinners... Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation... Teach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do. Go and fear nothing, I will help you.” Adele Brise began immediately to fulfill the mandate and mission entrusted to her by the Lady and oftentimes at great personal sacrifice went to the homes of the children to instruct them in the largely unsettled and forested area in Wisconsin. Adele was ever obedient to the authorities of the Church and steadfast in the mission entrusted to her by Our Lady, no matter what difficulty she encountered. The mission given her became such a commitment that she set up a Catholic school of instruction for children and even began a community of Third Order Franciscan women, who assisted her in her obedience to the mandate of Our Lady to pray for the conversion of sinners and to instruct the children. Worship Corner Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

The 8th World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia is scheduled for September 22-27th and our Holy Pope Francis will be attending. This prayer is for the World Meeting of Families Philadelphia 2015: God and Father of us all, in Jesus, your Son and our Savior, you have made us your sons and daughters in the family of the Church. May your grace and love help our families in every part of the world be united in one another in fidelity to the Gospel. May the example of the Holy Family, with the aid of your Holy Spirit, guide all families, especially those most troubled, to be homes of communion and prayer and to always seek your truth and live in your love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen Jesus, Mary and Joseph Pray for us! Parents: Year 2 of the Diocesan Evangelization Pastoral Plan is Focusing on the Domestic Church. This means that it is in the context of the family that we first learn who God is and how to prayerfully seek His will for us.” Teach your children prayers at a early age. They can learn them as young as 3-4 years old. Talk to them about your faith and share how God has touched your life. Show them how to be caring to our neighbors by bringing none perishable items for the Out Reach Center and signing up to different events and needs here at the church. (Men’s Shelter, Parish Picnic, Church Festival, VBS volunteer, Catechist for Religious Education or Children’s Liturgy, read the Word in church, be a Eucharistic Minister, etc…) Your example is what they will follow.

Contact Fran Kuzma at 2757962 ext. 1120 to help. YOUTH During our last EDGE/LIFETEEN session we talked about the Catholic Church’s relationship with other Christian communities and other religions. We particularly noted why we cannot just say that they are all the same and let it be; Christ’s prayer was for unity. Knowing that, we talked about how we can humbly engage in ecumenism and interreligious dialogue while standing firm in our belief that the Catholic Church has the fullness of the means of salvation. Our LAST EDGE/LIFETEEN session will be held Monday, May 18th, from 6:30-8:30pm. Fr. Mike be joining us for a Walk Through Mass. SUNDAY, MAY 10, 2015 JUSTICE & PEACE U. S.

REFLEXIONES 6º Domingo de Pascua El próximo domingo estaremos celebrando la Ascensión del Señor. Hoy estamos celebrando el Sexto Domingo de Pascua. El tiempo pasa rápido, pero la Iglesia permanece siempre alerta y atenta para servirnos y presentarnos el testamento de Jesús. El Evangelio de San Juan nos narra el discurso de Jesús al final de la Última Cena: "Permanezcan en mi amor". Ahora bien, en la actualidad decimos que nos amamos, pero muchas veces actuamos contario al amor. Parece que la palabra "amor" está muy desgastada. Nos agobia la guerra, el hambre, la violencia y otras cosas más. Hemos usado de mal manera la palabra amor, que ya hasta la hemos devaluado. Dios nos pide que servimos al hermano en necesidad. El amor a Dios y el amor al prójimo van de la mano. Y para descubrir ese amor hay que captar la entrega de Jesús. La maldad obstaculiza el amor y la fuente del amor, que es Dios. Examinemos nuestras acciones para que no vayamos nosotros a ser obstáculos del amor de Dios para mis hermanos y hermanas. Esta semana tomemos tiempo para reflexionar sobre nuestra forma de amar a la familia, amigos y compañeros de trabajo, sabiendo que debemos de ser imitadores de Jesús. Debemos de ejercitar el amor en todas nuestras circunstancias de la vida diaria. La caridad es urgente: el mundo sufre y aliviarlo es nuestra responsabilidad. Jesús nos lo explica así: "Les he dicho esto para que mi alegría esté en ustedes y su alegría sea plena". RECORDATORIO DEL COMITE DEL EDIFICIO Y JARDINES: Por favor sea cortés y piense en los demás miembros de la familia de la iglesia mientras usted y su grupo estén aquí.
