GOD’S PRESENCE

Realize above all that you are in God’s presence . . . empty yourself completely and sit waiting, content with the grace of God, like a chick who tastes nothing and eats nothing but what its mother gives it. —St. Romuald

Mission Statement

St. Patrick Catholic Church is a faith-filled community that is forever growing in a rela-tionship with Christ. We celebrate the pres-ence of Christ in Word and Sacrament, demonstrate love and concern for all parish-ioners, teach by example, and strive to serve the needs of all in the community.

The Youth Development Committee has rescheduled movie night for Saturday, June 11th from 3:30-6:00 PM at The Charleston Catholic School located at 888 King Street. The m ovies- “The Great Debaters” for teen-agers-based on the true story of a poet and professor Mel-vin Tolson, played by Denzel Washington. Tolson teaches at a predominately black Wiley College in 1935 and decides to form a debate team of intelligent students. Tolson taught students to find their strength through words and they be-come the first black debate team to challenge the Harvard debate champions. Veggie Tales for the younger children- “The Pirates who Don’t Do Anything” -Larry the cucumber, Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape find themselves on the ride of their lives when they are mysteriously whisked back to the to time when they are mysteriously whisked back to the time when pi-rates ruled the big seas. As they help a brave princess res-cue her brother from a pirate villain, they battle evil cheese curls, giant rock monster and their own fears to become the most unlikely heroes. A RSVP sign-up sheet is placed in the back of the church so that we are able to determine amount of refreshments to purchase.

HOPE AND LIFE

Today’s readings tell the story of two widows. The first reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of Nain. In each story, the widow’s only son had died. For people who lived in those cultures, the son was the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow whose only son has died could lose all hope.

Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the sons back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised from the dead when he experienced the conversion and call from God that he describes in today’s second reading.

What are Christians called to do today? We may not be able to raise the dead, but per-haps we can rekindle hope for a single parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor like Paul, but if we speak the gospel openly and gently with our lives, we might touch a life with the Good News. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
