SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
"So that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you
in me."
Does technology bring us together, or does it remind us of
distance and differences and keep us apart? Most days, I'm not
so sure. With the constant inundation of news from across the
world, it can be easier to tune out the sufferings and the joys of
people we'll never meet, in places we'll never visit. But is this
the invitation of Jesus?
Over the centuries, our Church has become truly universal
across the globe. There are Christians across nations and
cultures, across lines of rich and poor. There are Christians who
live behind white picket fences, and Christians dying in conflict
zones. "That they may all be one," Jesus prays. One in what?
Love. "That the love with which you loved me may be in them."
This is easier said than done, of course. The world is far too
vast for us to individually love every human being. I can hardly
remember the names of half the regulars at my Sunday Mass!
But that doesn't mean we can't try.
"I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in
me through their word." Jesus had this religious popular
explosion in mind. The mission and message of Christ was not
meant to stop in the Apostle's generation or stay cordoned off in
the geographic confines of Israel. Jesus' words at the Last
Supper are a prayer, a plea to the Father for the spread and
unity of the Church across time and space. This week, look up
organizations supporting the persecuted Church and make a
donation. Next week, visit a struggling parish within your own
diocese. When you meet someone new at hospitality Sunday,
invite them over for dinner to get to know them better. Whether
far off or close to home, let's allow Jesus' prayer to live in us, to
be drawn together in love.

A BIBLE STUDY with FR. DAVE
The Acts of the Apostles ~
Focusing on the Four Journeys of St. Paul
Fr. Dave will offer a four-part bible study on the ‘Four
Journeys of Saint Paul’ Fridays; May 17, 24 & 31 at 6:00
PM. These sessions will be live-streamed from Holy Rosary
in Caribou to St. Mark’s in Ashland, St. Denis in Fort Fairfield
and St. Mary’s in Presque Isle. A free will offering will be
accepted to offset the cost of the HELLO video conferencing
system.
As anyone who has read the Bible knows, the writings of
Saint Paul are some of the most amazing—and the most
difficult—in all the New Testament. In this Bible Study, you
will hopefully gain a better understanding of the greatest
evangelist and theologian in Church history, the Apostle Paul.
Register by calling the rectory office at 498-2536 during
regular business hours.
