Acts 2:14a, 36-41; Ps 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6;

1 Pt 2:20b-25; Jn 10:1-10

But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd

of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the

sheep hear his voice, as the shepherd calls his own

sheep by name and leads them out. John 10:2-3

In the heat of summer, we headed to a large swimming

hole. One of the ways you could reach the water was

jumping off a steep, cliff like a bank.

For a time, we watched as one young woman stood on the

edge, contemplating a jump. Her friends floated in the

water below, encouraging her to follow. She vacillated,

moving to the edge, then backing away. Again and again,

they called her name.

We had to leave, so we don’t know if Chloe ever did jump.

I wondered: did she lack courage, or was she heeding her

better instincts? What a challenge it is at times to discern

which voice to follow. Is it the voice of one that really

doesn’t care about us at all, or is what I’m hearing the voice

of the Shepherd who will protect me, no matter how

daunting the distance from here to there might seem?

Jesus, in the quiet, I listen for your loving voice.

Amy Welborn Living Faith, Mark Neilsen, Editor

Spiritually Nourishing Our Widows & Widowers St. Joseph is forming a new ministry to widows & widowers, Spiritually Nourishing Our Widows & Widowers—SNOWW. Our

purpose is to meet the spiritual needs of those of the Catholic faith who have lost a spouse to death. Our hope is that this ministry

will help men and women to find new meaning in life as widow/widower, to grow in their relationship with God, to develop a

strong system of support, and to provide opportunities for spiritual service if desired.

Please join us on May 20th 1:00 pm—3:00 pm in the Parish Hall. For more information contact Kim Hovious 348-3126 or

Lee Heaton 460-0154.

MARRIAGE MOMENT

Three steps to apologizing well:

1. I’m sorry.

2. Please forgive me.

3. Try to make amends.

To check yourself, avoid the word “But” when apologiz-

ing. For example, “I’m sorry, but if you had only…”
