Becoming Catholic
Responding to God’s Engagement
God engages with us in many different ways. Most of the time, God
works through ordinary people and events. Other times, we sense God’s invi-
tation during crisis moments or major life changes. Sometimes, we just have a
feeling that something is missing.
Adults who have not been baptized, celebrated the Eucharist, or Confir-
mation, often feel a very special and personal invitation from God. A key mis-
sion of Christ the Redeemer parish is to help people learn how to respond to
that invitation.
If you would like to know more about becoming Catholic, please contact
the parish office.
Looking for
Montessori teachers in
our midst!
Do we have any Montessori
teachers in our CTR community
who could lead our children in the
"5 Great Lessons"? If you have this
knowledge and ability and are willing
to share, Lisa Brown, (our Director
of Religious Education) will happily
and gratefully treat you to lunch!

When the children of Israel take their first step into the
wilderness, the only thing they think about is their hunger.
Remembering the food in Egypt, they look back and think,
"Should we really go?" In order to go forward, they have to
change their consciousness and their identity. When they
finally turn around and look into the wilderness they see the glory of Yahweh.
Walter Breuggemann notes, “In answer to the people's fears and complaints,
something extraordinary happens. God's love comes trickling down in the form
of bread. They say, "Manhue?" -- Hebrew for "What is it?" -- and the word
"manna" is born. They had never before received bread as a free gift that they
couldn't control, predict, plan for or own. The meaning of this strange narrative
is that the gifts of life are indeed given by a generous God. It's a wonder, it's a
miracle, it's an embarrassment, it's irrational, but God's abundance transcends
the market economy.” (Brueggemann, “The Liturgy of Abundance, The Myth of
Scarcity.”)
This transformation to becoming a new person, a new people, is a difficult
journey. It took the Children of Israel 40 years. St. Paul makes it sound so sim-
ple. “You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt
and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to
clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in
true righteousness and holiness. (Eph. 4:20-24)
In his Spirituality for the two stages of life, Richard Rohr outlines the spir-
itual path that must be followed. “How does one transition from the survival
dance to the sacred dance? Let me tell you how it starts. Did you know the first
half of life has to fail you? In fact, if you do not recognize an eventual and neces-
sary dissatisfaction (in the form of sadness, restlessness, emptiness, intellectual
conflict, spiritual boredom, even loss of faith, etc.), you will not move on to ma-
turity. You see, faith really is about moving outside your comfort zone, trusting
God’s lead, instead of just forever shoring up home base. Too often early reli-
gious “conditioning” largely substitutes for any real faith.
Usually, without growth being forced on us, few of us go willingly on the
spiritual journey. Why would we? The rug has to be pulled out from beneath our
game, so we redefine what balance really is. More than anything else, this falling/
rising cycle is what moves us into the second half of our own lives. There is a
“necessary suffering” to human life, and if we avoid its cycles we remain imma-
ture forever. It can take the form of failed relationships, facing our own shadow
self, conflicts and contradictions, disappointments, moral lapses, or depression in
any number of forms.” (Rohr, Adapted from Loving the Two Halves of Life:
The Further Journey)
Jack Shea suggests that Jesus is our spiritual teacher who is trying to help us
navigate this transition to a new identity. Shea imagines that in his dialogue with
the crowd, he hears Jesus saying:
“Don’t keep hungering after wonders as wonders, thinking the next miracle
will solve your problems. Notice there is a deeper hunger in you, not for what
perishes in time but for what last into eternity.”
“Turn your mind from doing things to the inner space from which you are
able to do things. God’s work is always co-done with God.”
“Don’t ask, “How will I know this is true?” Ask, “Am I in communion with
God and receiving divine life?”
“Manna every morning will not solve the whole problem. Connect with me
and be forever satisfied on a spiritual level.” (John Shea, “Eating with the Bride-
groom”, p. 199)

Clothes Swap at
Christ the Redeemer
August 9, 10am-7pm
There is no cost. You bring what
you have and take what you need. We
do ask that the clothes be items you
would put on your family to go out in
public. Bring friends with you - it is
always more fun to “shop” for free,
with friends. As usual, we can use as
many volunteers as we can get our
hands on. Please contact Courtenay
Grabowski at248-396-5132 or courte-
[email protected] to volun-
teer. The Swap is like a free garage
sale, but is set up to run itself. You
bring clean, folded clothes and depos-
it them on the clearly marked tables
where they belong, and then you
"shop" for what you need from the
tables with the sizes you need. We
accept sizes from preemie up though
adult plus sizes. We accept purses,
shoes, books, and gently used toys
and household items like blankets and
sheets. We donate the leftovers when
the day is done.

Life Lessons I’m Teaching My Boys #3
(excerpt) by blogger Jessica Lindberg
You know the adage, people give what they need? People teach what they
most want to learn. The concept of being the student and the teacher recognizes
that life is a classroom and there are opportunities to learn and to teach in each
moment. We need to be open to both.
How do we think about these concepts in a day and age when people are
sharing their every thought and meal on social media? How do we encourage our
kids to do both? To find their voices, and also to keep learning? How do we learn
to sometimes keep our heads down, keep quiet and learn in a world that is shout-
ing their opinions, often unkindly, all around us? Here's some thoughts…
1. Take time to learn about something you love. Learn just for the sake of
learning. What are you curious about? What have you always wanted to master?
Study, practice, grow. When we do, we model that for our kids, and teach them
to do the same. My mom used to take painting classes. I loved staying up at night
and watching her paint. She did it just because she wanted to. That taught me I
could do the same.
2. Find your voice. Has life knocked you down a few times? Have you taken
the time to really grow through those events? Share that with others. Don't be
ashamed of your story. When you share yours, others feel seen and you give them
permission to do the same.
3. Take the time to be quiet and to do the sorting and the figuring before you
share your thoughts. Perspective is so important. Yes, we learn from vulnerabil-
ity, but be careful to give yourself space to grow and time to gain perspective be-
fore sharing just to share. There are topics 6 years behind me that I am just now
feeling ready to be more open about. Now I can talk about them not from a
place of anger, but in love and with perspective. Give yourself room. It's okay
not to share everything.
4. When you don't know the answer to something, say you don't. Model that
for your kids. Whether it's politics or the answer to a math problem, show them
you are the student too. Saying we don't know shows we are authentic and
thoughtful. It shows we are willing to learn.
5. Be observant. Be present. What is life teaching you? We spend so much
time in the doing, in the acting and the arranging. Take time to listen. Teach your
kids the same. Give them quiet space, time away from screens, loud play and be-
ing over scheduled.
6. Expose your kids and yourself to new experiences and ideas. We grow
when we are outside our comfort zones. Yesterday we went to a Children's Hos-
pital to see a seven year old boy we've known for a long time through the Heart
Community. As we walked the halls my boys saw children with disabilities, med
poles, NG tubes, wheel chairs etc. Though they have a brother with special
needs, they don't see him in a medical setting. At first they were a little uncom-
fortable, but we talked about how each child is different and what a gift it is to
have a healthy body. I was so proud of how they jumped right in to play and in-
teract with our friend once we got to his room.
Life is a tremendous classroom. It's full of joys, pains, unbelievable highs and
the deepest, darkest lows. Soak it all in. Feel it all, taste it, learn from it. Let's
show our kids that we are here to teach and learn. That we don't know it all, but
that we are committed to learning all we can.
CHRIST THE REDEEMER SERVICE
Beautifully Broken
In theatres on August 24 , Rated PG-13.
Three Families Two Worlds ONE TRUE STORY
You won’t want to miss this movie. I saw a preview of this movie and I
would highly recommend it. Submitted by Karen Swietlik.
The movie is inspired by a true story of hope about a refugee’s escape, a
prisoner’s promise, and a daughter’s painful secret. As three fathers fight to save
their families, their lives become intertwined in an unlikely journey across the
globe, where they learn the healing power of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Life is full of unexpected
twists and turns and, when we experience difficult circumstances, it can cause us
to wonder if God is really there and, at times, even shake our faith. But hope is
the antidote for a shaken faith. Think about a time when you felt the pain of loss
or tragedy. A little hope goes a long way in filling your soul and fueling your
faith. For the three families in BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN, their faith has been
more than shaken by the events they have been through – escaping terrorists,
family members being victimized, having to leave the family in order to make
them safe, and not understanding how God
is working, even when He is. It is easy to be
angry at God, to turn from Him in times of
despair – but instead we see faith strength-
ened, transformation take place, and re-
demption of the hard road. All the charac-
ters in this movie are faced with the same
question – What am I going to do with this
brokenness?

Lansing update
Primary election approaching on august 7
The U.S. bishops' teaching document on political responsibility, Forming Con-
sciences for Faithful Citizenship, writes that "every person and association has a right
and duty to participate actively in shaping society." In less than a week, Michigan
voters will have the opportunity to do just that by voting in the August 7 Prima-
ry Election. Polls will be open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. For the Primary Elec-
tion, there is a partisan section of the ballot. In this section, you may vote for
your choices in one party section only-Democratic, Libertarian, or Republican-or
else your vote in those races will not be counted. You are not able to "split your
ticket," unlike in the November 6 General Election. Take some time to check
out what candidates and issues are on your ballot by visiting www.mi.gov/vote.
The Catholic Church teaches that Catholics should vote with a well-formed con-
science. Learn more about that process here: https://bit.ly/2cb7e3Z.
In preparation for the General Election in November, Michigan Catholic
Conference will be publishing materials for Catholics to consider when voting,
including information on the statewide ballot proposals. Stay tuned for more
information in an upcoming update this fall.

Don’t get “TICKED’ off
�� Lyme disease is an emerging health problem in
Southeast Michigan
�� Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fa-
tigue, and a characteristic “Bull’s eye” skin rash.
�� Avoid shady, moist areas in wooded and grassy locations, especially in warmer months (April-
September).
�� Perform tick checks after being outdoors, inspecting all parts of your body closely using a
handheld or full-length mirror.
�� Finding and removing ticks promptly can prevent Lyme disease as ticks need to be attached for
36-48 hours before they can
transmit Lyme disease bacteria.

reflection From the youth minister, John 6:24-25
In this weekend’s readings, the people are concerned about satisfying their physical hunger with bread. Last
week we read about how Jesus fed more than 5,000 people with just a few loaves of bread and some fish. Now, the
people are back, looking for Jesus to perform another miracle so they can believe. Jesus wants them to understand
that the real reason he multiplied the loaves and fishes in last week’s Gospel is that he wants their faith to increase as
well. Jesus wants to satisfy a deeper hunger in them and they don’t seem to understand. They can’t seem to see be-
yond their physical needs and look to their spiritual ones. They don’t realize that the living bread is standing right in
front of them.
How often have you put your focus in the wrong place? When was there a time that you failed to see the big
picture because you couldn’t go beyond the familiar?
It’s great that we search for Jesus, just like the people in today’s Gospel did. They knew they wanted and needed
him, and so they went out of their way to find him. The problem is not in their desire to know him. The problem is
in the fact that their minds are closed to what he is really offering them – himself and eternal life.
What are you hoping to gain in seeking out Jesus? Do you want someone to make life easy, fulfill all your needs
and be a miracle maker? Or, are you looking for a deeper knowledge of the Father through Jesus? Why do you
come to Mass? What are you looking for? I asked this question once to a group of teens and one answered, “It’s the
only time we get donuts.” What bread are you really hungering for?
“I am the bread of life,” Jesus tells the crowd this week. Come to me and never be hungry. Many people in our
world work really hard to convince us that we are hungry for everything – possessions, wealth, sex, drugs, alcohol,
beauty – everything but Jesus. Deep down aren’t we all really hungry for love, mercy and forgiveness? Jesus is all
these things – and more. Mass is where we take all he offers us. We have the opportunity to lay our pain, our hurt
and our burdens on the Altar and take up the Bread of Life. Mass is a time for healing when we hurt. It’s a chance
to connect with others of faith and both lean on them and lift them up. We’re a family, a community, and with that
we have the amazing opportunity to support one another.
Don’t get me wrong. There are days when I just don’t feel like going to Mass, I won’t lie. I may be tired, dis-
couraged, or even angry. But by coming to Mass, I’m able to let go of so many things that are weighing me down
and receive Jesus. I’ve never regretted attending Mass, no matter my mood when I arrived. Mass offers food for
life’s struggles. It’s like eating real health food that fuels the body rather than trying to run a long race after eating
junk food. This week at Mass, remember your deepest hungers. Think about what you’re hoping to gain by follow-
ing Jesus. Re-center your focus on Jesus, the Bread of Life, and really notice how he feeds you.

Operation medicine Cabinet
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is proud to sponsor Operation Medi-
cine Cabinet. OMC was launched at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office in July
of 2009. It provides citizens a venue to properly dispose of their expired and/or
unused prescriptions anonymously at several different locations around Oakland
County. Currently, there are thirty-six OMC drop-off sites, including thirteen
Sheriff’s Office location and twenty three additional law enforcement locations
around Oakland County.
Operation Medicine Cabinet illustrates our commitment to keeping all of our
citizens safer, protecting our young people from the harmful misuse of prescrip-
tion drugs, understanding the needs of seniors and the environmental implica-
tions related to improper disposal of medications (flushing).
You can drop off any prescription drugs at any of the convenient drop off
points with no questions asked.
Local sites include: Brandon, Independence, Orion, Oxford, Pontiac and
Rochester Hills Substations, Oxford Village and Rochester Police Departments.
