Next week's readings: The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Exodus 24:3-8 Hebrew 9:11-15 Mark 14:12-16, 22-26
We’re often shown a three-leaf clover as a way to think of the Holy Trinity. Sometimes we dismiss it before we’re called into the heady heights of dogmatic discourse. Today’s readings, however, are a practical, down-to-earth reflection on God and on who we are as disciples.
† We hear Moses preaching to inspire his people to strengthen their commitment.
† Paul’s Letter points out how God’s own Spirit is active in us. † The Gospel – (the final lines of the Gospel of Matthew) – portrays the post- resurrection, broken community wavering between worship and doubt. They had to rethink their mission and come to discover how Jesus was with them in different, more universal ways.
We may not be able to explain the Trinity in concrete terms, but we have the promise that our Triune God lives in us and works through us.
In the Words of Pope Francis … The full content of the Pope’s apostolic exhortation, titled Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel) will not be printed in this series. The goal is to emphasize its major themes in the hope that you will read the document yourself. It’s easily downloaded by typing Evangelii Gaudium pdf.
Chapter One – The Church’s Missionary Transformation, continued
The second section is called “Pastoral Activity and Conversion.” In his typical humble manner, Pope Francis begins this section:
I am aware that nowadays documents do not arouse the same interest as in the past and that they are quickly forgotten. Nevertheless, I want to emphasize that what I am trying to express here has a programmatic significance and important consequences. I hope that all communities will devote the necessary effort to advancing along the path of a pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are. “Mere administration” can no longer be enough. Throughout the world let us be “permanently in a state of mission.”
The Pope then recalls Pope Paul VI’s invitation to deepen the call to renewal and to make it clear that renewal does not only concern individuals but the entire Church. He reminds us that the Second Vatican Council presented ecclesial conversion as openness to a constant self-renewal born of fidelity to Jesus Christ. There must be a “missionary option” capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, way of doing things, times and schedules, language and structure can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation.

Did You Watch the Royal Wedding?
Long-time SJB parishioners might have recognized the quotation from the Roman Catholic Jesuit priest that Bishop Michael Curry used in his homily. Our founding pastor, Msgr. E. Carl Lyon, included it at the top of the front page of the Sunday bulletin from August, 1970 until March, 1972. “Some day, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” Teilhard de Chardin.

The Pope Francis Movie The Pope Francis -A Man of His Word movie is now in theaters. The Vatican wanted to make a film that was not about Pope Francis, but rather from Pope Francis, directly addressing the audience, as if sitting face-to-face with them. This movie is made for Catholics and non-Catholics alike. It conveys that God loves each one of us unconditionally – no matter what our color or creed – and we are called to also love each other, and to love the world that God has entrusted to us. Watch your local movie listings for viewing times.

God of power and mercy, You destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called

Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them
safely into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Memorial Day History Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

Mystical Word
L.J. Milone, Director of Adult Faith Formation
Religion has played the fear card all-too-often. It seems that is how clerics of the past motivated the people in the pews to do anything. The fear of hell drove people to church. Fear of eternal damnation got people on their knees. Perhaps there is a good side to this, a healthy fear? Perhaps not. The problem with this strategy is, first, Jesus tells us frequently, “Do not be afraid.” Second, the image of God behind putting fear of hell into the average believer’s heart is that it can make God out to be a highly critical and sternly judgmental spectator of our lives. This image of God is not found in Scripture or Tradition. It is a perception we get if we are afraid. That is not who God is. God doesn’t sit in the bleachers and either cheer us on if we are doing good deeds or booing us if we are doing bad ones. This woefully misunderstands the God whom Jesus reveals.
St. Paul gets it right when, in the second reading, he says to us, “You received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, ‘Abba, Father!’ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.” His message is the Trinity means God is in close relationship with us. Paul shows us how God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Spirit are intimately connected to us. We have received the Holy Spirit. This same Spirit enables us to call upon God as “Abba.” So, each one of us is God’s child. As a child of God, every one of us is a brother or sister of Christ, or “joint heirs.” This is not a judgmental spectator God. Rather, we have a God intimately involved in our lives. God is with us. God is within us. God is at home in us. This is a series of sentences we need to repeat in our spirits as a prayer. Instead of a deity parked on the bleachers, the Holy Mystery rolls up his sleeves and gets his proverbial hands dirty.
The spectator and stern judge implies a fear-based relationship with God. The Trinity means our relationship with God is based on unrestricted and merciful acceptance of us as we are. Paul notes that we did not receive a spirit of slavery and fear, but God’s Holy Spirit. God frees us because God loves us, and we experience this love from within, not only from beyond. Because of the fear-based image of God, we feel a great distance between us and God. Again, this is not the Gospel. Our Abba is
incredibly close, so close, in fact, that God is, “closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than choosing—closer than consciousness itself,” according to Thomas Keating.
The Benedictine monk Sebastian Moore expresses just how much of a blessing it is that God is within us. He says oneness with God is the cure for our ineluctable inner loneliness. In The Inner Loneliness, Moore asks a question, “Who can receive me, know me, as I feel myself?” He says that the only one who could know me in such a way would have to be: 1) within me to know me from within—as my very self, 2) limitless because it is their very limitedness that makes others unable to know me as I know me, and 3) other than me
in such a way that this One is wholly mystery. For Moore, it can be only God who can know us from within. Only the Trinity can know me in an even more intimate way than I know myself. Only God can be the partner who ends my otherwise totally un-relievable inner loneliness. “God is the ground of being within each person that ends an otherwise ineluctable inner loneliness.”
The doctrine of the Trinity, then, is a call to be a mystic. A mystic is not some ethereal, out-of-touch idealist who is too caught up in spiritual ecstasies to care about the world. A Christian mystic is simply one who experiences God’s love, loves God freely, and is changed by this relationship of love. Thomas Keating writes, “Christianity is not so much a series of propositions about God as it is the communication of the intimate knowledge that Jesus had of God. The Christian religion is the transmission of that experience of Ultimate Reality as Abba.” The Trinity is not a rarefied doctrine wholly unrelated to our lives. Rather, it is a summons to personal relationship with God because God is relationship. Since God is love, God, it can be said, is relationship, too. This is the inheritance we share with Christ: his own personal relationship with God, our Abba, in the Holy Spirit. This relationship frees us, changes us, and gives us pure happiness. Such is the gift of the God who is not a judgmental spectator but incomprehensible love. Keating waxes poetic, “This compassionate, non-judgmental, selfless love is the Source of all that is; the ultimate beatitude is to disappear into it.”

SJB School News Students in the Class of 2018 have just finished their last activity in service to St. John the Baptist School. Field Day was held on Friday. They organized and ran the games and challenges for teams of students which were topped off by the school-wide relay race. The relay race has become a tradition at SJB, and students enjoy cheering each other on during the competition. Graduation for the SJB Class of 2018 will be held on Saturday, June 2. Please pray for them as they set off for summer activities and their journey on to high school.
Excitement is also high in the other classes as everyone senses summer is not far. The rest of the students and their teachers are all preparing for the last few weeks of school. Students in the middle school will be finishing the last few lessons prior to receiving study guides for their final exams. Most homeroom parents will be coordinating with the homeroom teachers for class picnics and end of the year field trips.
The 3rd grade will be participating in a Young Author’s Breakfast on Tuesday, June 12, at 9:00 a.m. in the School Library.

All are invited to attend this special event. Please mark your calendars!
An exciting update in our math program here at SJB is that several students in two grades are piloting a program for advanced mathematics work. If this is successful, we hope to be able to offer more mathematics differentiation for a number of students next year in the upper grades.
