A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear
Parishioners:
Last weekend we welcomed the St.
Francis High School class of 1957 to Blessed Sacrament. Deacon Bob Ghiloni hails from that class, as
do a number of our parishioners. It was
wonderful to host them at our Saturday evening Mass. They did not look much worse for 50 years of wear. On Sunday, I also stopped in at the brunch
for the St. Francis High School Alumni Association, which was held at
Buckingham Place. A lot of our own BSS
grads were among the happy alumni who gathered to celebrate their days of yore.
This weekend, I participate in my own
30th year reunion from St. Charles High School, Class of 1977. Fr. Harry Schneider, who was one of my
teachers at St. Charles, is taking care of the Saturday Confessions and Mass so
I can be at St. Charles with my classmates.
Events such as reunions bring home to
us the simple truth that we are on a journey through life. Where we have been and those who have been
with us remain a part of us. The values
that we have learned from institutions run by our Church are truly gifts that
show us how to live.
There
is a danger that we will fail to pass on to the next generation what we have
received if we don’t take the time to celebrate and express our gratitude in
communal ways. I invite you to reflect
on the people and the institutions who have brought you to where you are today. Make a resolution to share the memories and
to support the institutions that continue the works that have served so well
through the years.
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
What we have learned together: It is possible to change. However, real change does not happen overnight. It is gradual. It takes attention to details. Genuine change requires a conversion in our way of thinking. Nonetheless, even when some refuse to change, many hearts united as one can move a whole community in the right direction. Change carries us along. God is the author of change that lasts forever.

DID
YOU KNOW that Providence is God’s attention to us in every detail of our
lives? God loves us and manifests His
Love in the minutest ways. He weaves
together a tapestry that combines threads through our whole lives and with the
very fabric of all that is. Many times,
people will call what happens when things come together “coincidence.” It is said that “coincidence” is just a name
for what happens when God chooses to remain anonymous. In truth, it is the fruit of Providence.
God
provides. He knows what we need. He knows what is best for us. We can rely on Providence. God is worthy of our trust.

A Marian Prayer for Vocations
Hail Mary, full of
grace;
all generations call you blessed.
Hail Mother of God;
when asked by the angel to bear the Son of
the Most High, filled with faith, you
responded:
"Let
it be done unto me."
Holy
Mother of Jesus, at the wedding feast at Cana,
you prompted your Son to perform his first
sign.
Be
with us as we discern our life's work and guide us in the way
we
are called to follow in the footsteps of your Son.
Holy Mother of the
Savior, at the foot of the cross
you mourned the death of your only Son.
Bless and embrace
the loving parents of all priests, deacons,
brothers
and sisters.
Holy Mother of the
Good Shepherd,
turn your motherly care to this nation.
Intercede for us to
the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers
to
the harvest in this land dedicated to your honor.
Queen of Peace,
Mirror of Justice, Health of the Sick,
inspire vocations in our time.
Let the word of
your Son be made flesh anew in the lives of
persons anxious to proclaim the good news of
everlasting life.
Amen.
