FAITH LIFE

Last Sunday after mass a lady I met some 13 years ago

who identified herself as a shepherdess told me that recently

a fire on her farm that claimed some of her sheep made her

realize what Christ the Good Shepherd must feel when any-

one of His sheep is lost for eternity. Earlier in the week I had

a conversation with someone who asked me how you get a

loved one to return to the Church. I had no answer — only

advice. “Lead by example and pray for them.” Such exam-

ple and prayers are bound to have the intended effect as our

Lord - the Good Shepherd desires to lead all his sheep to

safe pasture's. May I suggest that we all join in providing

example and prayers that any we know return to a healthy

relationship with the Lord. In so doing, we will do our part

to assist the Good Shepherd in leading all His sheep to their

heavenly home.

Are you one of the beautiful people?

Who doesn’t want to be considered beautiful? We often

imagine that life would be better if we were. The beauty that

comes from a loving heart, however, only improves with time.

Beautiful people appreciate God’s creation.” … all things

were created through him and for him”. (Colossians 1:16). All

that God created came from his loving heart. Beautiful people

notice God’s creations and experience his love through them.

Beautiful people put others first. “This is how all will know

that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another”

(John 13:35). Sometimes Jesus was busy, tired, or worn out.

Yet he never turned anyone away who asked for his attention.

Beautiful people regularly help others — asked or unasked —

without complaint or expecting recognition. They do it our of

love like Jesus.

Beautiful people accept others as they are. They don’t judge

because they know that God loves each of us equally. They

find ways to love people others find unlovable.

Beautiful people build others up. “Behold, you are beautiful,

my beloved, truly lovely” (Song of Solomon 3:16). Loving

people encourage, boost, and bolster those around them.

Spending time with a truly beautiful person makes others feel

beautiful, too.

Is a day of paying tribute to and honoring

members of the military. In the United States

it is celebrated annually on the third Saturday

in May (May 18

th

, 2019) The day was created

in 1949 to replace and unify formerly separate

celebration days for the Army, Navy, Marine

Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. President

Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a

single holiday for citizens to come together

and thank our military members for their

patriotic service in support of our country.

We give thanks to all those who have and are serving

our country in the military. God Bless America!!

GOSPEL REFLECTION OF A

DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

Do you have enough? Many of us come from a nation of

material abundance. We have all the things we could pos-

sibly need not only to survive, but to thrive - food, shelter,

mental ability, income, access to medical care. Most peo-

ple in human history lived with far less than we. So why

are we so dissatisfied? Some Christians can be drawn to

the "prosperity Gospel." This is the idea that following

God will bring us material abundance in this life.

That surely seems to be the story of today's Gospel! Peter

and his friends chose - with some faith - to put out their

nets a final time at Jesus' command. "They caught a great

number of fish and their nets were tearing. They signaled

to their partners in the other boat to come to help them.

They came and filled both boats so that they were in dan-

ger of sinking." What gift! What abundance! What pros-

perity! Peter and his friends caught more fish than they'd

ever seen. Yet what is their response to this material

abundance, this gift from God? They leave it behind.

"When they brought their boats to the shore, they left

everything and followed him."

Praying for God to meet our physical, material needs is

not a bad thing! Jesus himself includes "give us this day

our daily bread" in the prayer he teaches his disciples. The

question is, how do we respond when our prayers are an-

swered? Do we thank God briefly, or perhaps ignore Him

completely and move on with our lives? Or do we re-

spond as Peter did? "God ? You showed up in an area that

has no bearing on my eternal salvation. You gave me a

gift I didn't even really need. You love me! You really do

love me." Is our gratitude only surface level? Or do we

allow ourselves, like Peter did, to respond with wonder,

awe, and deeper discipleship?

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

ANNUAL BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN

The Knights of Columbus will once again

be distributing baby bottles for their annual

campaign. Last year they raised nearly

$1,600.00 which was used to help new

mothers through Catholic Charities and to

help maintain the ultrasound machines now

in service. Please see one of the Knights

after Mass to get your bottle. Please remember that all bot-

tles need returned by Father’s Day weekend, even empty

ones, for use next year. Thank you for your continued gener-

osity!

PRAYING THE ROSARY

The Knights of Columbus will be praying the rosary be-

fore each weekend Mass throughout the month of May. Plan

on arriving for Mass at least 30 minutes early to participate.

We also ask during this time of prayer that parishioners not

participating be as quiet as possible in respect for those pray-

ing. Thank you!

LENTEN CHARITY DONATIONS

This Lent we had a special collection for the missions at

all our masses at St Ann. We were able to raise $1,000 for

each of the three mission accounts: Our Guatemala Mission

Group, The diocesan Medical Mission in Chimbote Peru, and

The St James Society (whom I worked for in my mission

work in Peru). The remainder of the collections were deposit-

ed in our charity account here at St Ann to help those most in

need. Your generosity is a humble example of your willing-

ness to reach out to the least among us, thank you for all of

them!

THANK YOU FROM THE MISSION GROUP

We are so grateful for the generosity of all who have sup-

ported us through their prayers and donations. Our Mother’s

Day breakfast was once again a beautiful morning spent with

friends and families. We are also thankful for being chosen

as one of the recipients of the Lenten Charity donations. The

nuns and children of the Hogar (Home) in Patzun, Guatemala

pray for all of you every day. We have a group of 10 travel-

ing on mission in early June this year. Thank you for keep-

ing us in your prayers.

an in-depth Bible study on the Gospel readings, connecting them with the Old Testament reading

and Responsorial Psalm for each Sunday Mass.

You will learn the meaning of passages, why the various readings were chosen and put together,

and how the Old Testament reading points forward to the New Testament and how the New Testa-

Understand the Biblical roots of the Catholic faith and how the readings that are given to us each

week are meant to be applied to our daily lives, walking with Christ as Disciples of the Lord.

• All victims of clergy sexual abuse in our diocese.

• All clergy falsely accused.

• All clergy on administrative leave while allegations are being

investigated, especially

Fr. John Bauer and Father Hugh Lang, who served in our county.

• Those charged with making a determination regarding substantiation

of allegations against clergy.

We pray with special love and concern for all those who are ill or infirm,

asking the Lord for his consoling grace to heal those in need. We also

remember all those in personal care/nursing homes.

Prayer for the Sick

Father of goodness and love,

hear our prayers for the sick

members of our community

and for all who are in need.

Amid mental and physical

suffering may they find conso-

lation in your healing presence.

Show your mercy as you close

wounds, cure illness, make

broken bodies whole and

free downcast spirits.

May these special people find

lasting health and deliverance,

and so join us in thanking you

for all your gifts.

We ask this through the Lord

Jesus who healed those who

believed. Amen.

Mission for the Week

Sharing the Gospel

Jesus said, "Love each other as I have loved you." He died on the

cross so that your sins and mine might be forgiven. Jesus was human

like you and me. He shared his food with friends. He visited and

healed the sick. He cried when his friends died. He told stories to help

people learn about his Father in heaven. When you show love for oth-

ers, Jesus smiles because he is very proud of you.
