He has Made the Two One

[W]hat God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this.
He said to them,
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another
commits adultery against her;
and if she divorces her husband and marries another,
she commits adultery.”

-Mark 10:1-12

 

Saint Bede

“If history records good things of good men, the thoughtful hearer
is encouraged to imitate what is good: or if it records evil of wicked men,
the devout, religious listener or reader is encouraged to avoid
all that is sinful and perverse and to follow
what he knows to be good and pleasing to God.”

 

 

Thank You  Catechists!

“I am particularly grateful to all the men and women, mostly volunteers, who serve as catechists. One of the greatest responsibilities of the Church is to pass on the faith from one generation to the next, and without such dedicated catechists, this would not happen. A special thanks also to all the parents who fulfill their responsibility to raise their children in the faith. I pray all of our families rededicate themselves to an active participation in the sacramental life of the Church.”

-Bishop Paul Etienne 5-10-13 [Emphasis added]

 

 

From Deacon Dobelmann:

A recent article going around on Facebook exclaims that teachers are hailed as heroes during times of crisis, but are generally under fire at other times. It is true that school shootings, tornadoes, and other disasters highlight the heroic actions of our educators under some very dire circumstances. I believe it is also true that there are many unheralded acts of heroism that take place by our educators all throughout the school year.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of our teachers, administrators, and support staff working so diligently in our schools all across the country to make a difference. The work you do is admirable. We expect a lot from you—much more than an education for our children—we expect you to wear so many hats that I dare not even try to mention them. In all of the ways you succeed at meeting our expectations, thank you!

 

 

 

 

Encounter Christ and Others

As he was commenting on how he became certain in his faith, Pope Francis said, it was his grandmother who really marked his faith. He quotes Saint Paul who would always say, “Remember the faith of your mother and your grandmother.” God always places someone specific and concrete to teach us in our faith.

Pope Francis tells us of a day as he was seeking confession that he found an unfamiliar priest that was waiting for him. “I felt a voice and a call that day and I knew that I would become a priest.” Regarding this experience of faith Pope Francis said that we have to look for God, and when we do, we find Him waiting there for us. He is always waiting for us to give us his love. We have to go out and experience Jesus. It inspires awe and wonder, and in this encounter that our faith grows. We are fragile in our faith, God knows this, but we do not have to worry. We are safe because he accompanies us. If we think we can get by on our own we need to remember that we are fragile. Walking with God helps us to grow and strengthens us.
