Randy Reflection

It is easy to give up hope when things around us seem to be getting out of control. We need to find something that gives us the strength to carry on. What can bring us back to the peace and serenity that calms or soul? What is it that gives hope, peace, and serene joy to the Christian life? We see today that, for a brief moment, it is the vision of glory. It is a glimpse into the Promised Land of Heaven, which the Lord can and does give to His people. Today’s Gospel shows forth a kind of process through which the Lord lays the foundations of hope, peace, and joy. Herein lies the paradox: peace, joy, and hope are often the products of struggles, climbs, and difficulties. These things are often the prelude to seeing and experiencing glory. Yes, there is a paradoxical prelude to glory and it can only come through God’s wisdom. As human beings we just don’t think this way a lot of the time. An old hymn says, “Trials dark on every hand. And we cannot understand, all the ways that God will lead us to that blessed promised land. But he guides us with his eye and we follow till we die and we’ll understand it better by and by.” There are three things that we can do that will lead us to the true hope and peace if a Christian life. First, we need to see. The text speaks first of the event itself that they see. The text supplies some information, telling us of a brightness that shone through the Lord, a kind of dazzling light. But we ought not get lost in speculation and miss the point: that Peter, James, and John are given a glorious vision, beams of Heaven! Yes, this is Jesus. This is who He really is. The magnificence of His glory so astounds them that they fall down in reverence. Have you ever seen or experienced glory? Maybe it was at the birth of a child, or upon hearing some other wonderful news. Perhaps it was a profound experience of relief, or a deep vision in prayer, or at the Liturgy. Yes, look for glory and rejoice when it comes! We must learn to see things as they really are. Regardless of the trials and struggles, we must endure on the way. If we are faithful our end is glory. So look for glory and expect to find it. The Lord can and does give us glimpses of glory in our life, beams of Heaven as we go! Do not minimize glories when they are revealed. Cultivate a spirit

of wonder and awe at what God has done and continues to do in creation and in your life. Glory is all around us. Learning to see this glory is one of the ways God produces peace in us. We also need to be scriptural. Father Louis touched on this a bit last week if you remember. Notice that the text says that Moses and Elijah appeared with Him. Why Moses and Elijah? Because Moses and Elijah represent the Law and the Prophets, which is a Jewish way of speaking of the Bible. Thus another way of having peace produced in us is to search the Scriptures. We have to stay rooted in our story. If we stay with Jesus, glory is at the end of our story. Know your Scriptures and thereby know your story, a story that ends with glory. I also think that we need to savor the “AHA” moments of Glory that we experience. We want to stay on the mountaintop, to pitch tents and stay put so we do not lose this feeling or experience. Some may see this as wrong, but I see it as a good thing, even if it is a bit excessive. The point is to savor glory, to store good memories and experiences deep in our soul, to cultivate a deep gratitude for the wonderful things the Lord has done for us, to savor deeply our experiences of glory. This prescription for peace, joy and hope couldn’t be simpler. Listen to Jesus! In other words, carefully ponder every word of His teaching and begin to base your life on what He says. See and savor the moments of glory that you experience in your daily life. How much pain, anxiety, and strife come into this world and our lives simply because we do not listen to the Lord and obey His teachings! Our stubbornness, our lack of forgiveness, our greed, our lack of concern for the poor, our idolatry, our lack of and the fact that we are often just plain mean, bring enormous suffering to us and to others. If we would but give our life to the Lord and ask Him to conform us to His word, so much suffering would vanish. We would have so much more peace and would experience greater joy and hope. Randy

Becoming our Best Selves One Step at a Time

Almost every night before supper, Paula and I sit to-gether for awhile. We chat, or play a word game, or just hold hands and relax. Once in awhile I make up some silly song. One recent evening I started singing the song, “Lonesome Polecat,” from the fifties, doing my best imitation of a love-starved young cowpoke stuck alone on the night shift watching over the herd. Suddenly the sound of a stampede down the hallway raced toward us. It turned out to be our cat. She dove onto my lap, rubbed her nose on mine very ur-gently, seeming to ask, “Are you OK, Daddy? Are you sick, Daddy?” Then she crawled around my head several times, stopping on each round to re-peat the nose thing. She finally decided I was going to live and sat on a footstool just glaring at me for scaring her. We both had a good laugh at poor Smoky’s expense.

So what’s all that got to do with becoming our best selves? Well, despite being retired, we lead busy lives, that little while spent sitting together each eve-ning is a shot of emotional adrenalin, the highlight of our day. No stress. No reason to hurry. Nothing to do but enjoy each other’s company. Each of us be-comes just a little bit better version of ourselves. I’ll bet lots of couples do similar things. If you’re not among them, give it a shot. You’ll like it.

Roger LeBouton, Lay Minister

A SINCERE THANK YOU TO ST JUDE

THE APOSTLE PARISHIONERS!

I would like to thank everyone who supported myself and the other seniors from Lourdes Academy financially and prayerfully for the recent March for Life in Washing-ton DC. Our pilgrimage was a wonderful and faith filled experience! Along with 160 other students and plenty of chaperons from all over the Green Bay Diocese, we traveled by bus to join other pro-life voices from all over the United States.

During our time in Washington DC, we had the opportu-nity to visit several memorable places such as the Holo-caust Museum, the White House, and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. We also had the humble yet powerful experience of handing out food at the Little Sisters of the Poor Convent and prayed with the elderly Sisters. Being in the Holocaust Museum and listening to the voices of millions of innocent Jewish children whose lives were ended by hatred, my already strong pro-life believe WAS strengthened even more as I stood to protect life from conception without exception.

With approximately over 650,000 other pro-life pilgrims from all over the United States and beyond, we gath-ered as “one” at the National Mall where we listened to passionate pro-life speakers and musicians including President Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence, Ben Shapiro and The Sidewalk Prophets.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to speak for those who cannot speak up for themselves and you made it happen! On behalf of Adam, Sera, Charleigh and Jacob, my fellow Lourdes Academy students who attended the recent March for Life, I want to say THANK YOU and

GOD BLESS YOU!

WORLD’S POOR COLLECTION

On the Fourth Sunday of Lent (March 30-31), we will sponsor a special collection for the World’s Poor. This collection combines an appeal for four Catholic agen-cies who serve the poor and those living on the edge of society all over the world. This collection includes Catholic Relief Services, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, Peter’s Pence, and the Pastoral Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. In this collec-tion you have a choice to contribute to any one of all four funds, by designating an amount for each.

CARING FOR GOD’S CREATION

The Caring for God’s Creation committee extends an invitation to all parishioners to consider joining our ef-forts to aspire and live by the mandate of Catholic So-cial Teaching which encourages our parish to take steps toward fostering the care of creation through edu-cation, modeling and advocacy. From turning in old cell phones to purchasing LED lights for the parish build-ings, to promoting Eco palms. These are but a few ways we can show appreciation for and take steward-ship of our environment. Our largest event is the fall rummage sale in which we try to nurture the idea of reuse and recycle. All the proceeds go to parish activi-ties, education/awareness and outreach/charitable works. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm at the parish center. Pease call Marilyn at 233-5382 or email her at [email protected] for more information. God created this world and it was very good. He led us to be caretakers and protectors of His creation. Come and make a difference.

On March 2nd members of St. Jude Parish attended a Wisconsin Herd game to watch some basketball and cheer on our own Voix Angelicus choir that led the National Anthem" and received thunderous applause after! If you missed out on this event please make plans this summer to attend Randy's Brewer trip. Watch upcoming bulletins for more information on this yearly fun-filled event!

WE NEED YOU!

For our parish to have a great photo directory we

need all parishioners to be a part of it—what would

St. Jude be without each and every one of you?

Please sign up soon to have the opportunity to so-

lidify the best possible time for you and your family.

Remember, we are only 1 week away from the

photographers being here—every second counts!

Report: Parish Mission Planning

The Parish Mission Planning Team of St. Jude had

its first meeting on Monday March 4, 2019. Prior to

this meeting, the ministry leaders, parish and

school staff, board members, council members and

committee members completed the “Health of

Leadership Survey” regarding parish, school and

their own efforts in reference to Evangelization,

Leadership, Discipleship and Community impact.

The results of the surveys were shared with the en-

tire Parish Ministry Planning (PMP) team. These re-

sults indicated areas for improvement in the four

areas above. A list was compiled of the areas of

concern and 10 items were selected to be retained

for future processing and synthesizing.

The second item discussed by the PMP Committee

were the “Operational and Ministry Checklists”.

Prior to this meeting, the appropriate personnel

and school personnel filled out various checklists

associated with parish and school operations. The

purpose being to point out areas for improvement.

The PMP team reviewed and discussed the results

of all checklists and then listed the recommended

areas that needed Improvements. A list of top 10

areas was put together by the team and will be re-

tained for future processing and synthesizing.

Our next Parish Mission Planning Committee meet-

ing will be March 18th, after which another report will

be published in the bulletin for you to be kept in-

formed of our progress and any updated information.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we

strive to enrich our parish with goals to serve our

parish community and to bring all to the Kingdom

of God. We are missionary “Disciples on the Way”.

Blessings,

Kathie Geffers Parish Mission Planning Communication Liaison

The Season of Lent

Loving Father,

I invite you into my life today and make myself available

to you. Help me to become the-best-version-of-myself

by seeking your will and becoming a living example of

your love in the world. Open my heart to the areas of

my life that need to change in order for me to carry out

the mission and experience the joy you have imagined

for my life. Inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways

that are dynamic and engaging. Show me how to best

get involved in the life of my parish. Make our commu-

nity hungry for best practices and continuous learning.

Give me courage when I am afraid, hope when I am

discouraged, and clarity in times of decision. Teach me

to enjoy uncertainty and lead you Church to become all

you imagined it would be for the people of our times.
