May the glory of Christ’s Resurrection bring strength & hope in their time of loss.

Jesus Christ was God-become-man in order to enable the fallen human race to find its way back to God. His human nature was infused with the power of His divine person. We see this, for example, in His miraculous cure of Simon Peter's mother-in-law, and in His many other miracles and casting out of demons. Jesus was true man, but His humanity was perfect, sinless, without any tendencies to selfishness, laziness, or pride. His character was balanced and flawless. Firm as the mountains, and gentle as a mother's caress. His mind was beyond brilliant. Filled with the radiance of divine light and understanding. He had no emotional scars from a difficult family upbringing (Mary was without sin too, and Joseph was a saint), no personality disorders or imbalanced self-esteem, no lacks, no wounds, no imperfections at all. And yet, in spite of all that, over and over again in the Gospels we see Him go off to be alone in prayer, just as He did in today's Gospel passage. Christ was perfect, God from God and light from light, and yet He still needed to reserve time just to be alone with His Father. He needed to go off and pray. He even had to get up early to make time for it. Sometimes, He had to stay up late in order to make time for it. But He always did it, even on the very eve of His crucifixion in the Garden of Gethsemane. If He, who was perfect needed prayer in order to fulfill his life's mission, what does that imply for us who are so imperfect, so weak, so vulnerable to every sort of temptation, and wounded by every kind of sin? If disciplined, daily prayer was essential for Christ, it must be even more essential for Christ's less-than-perfect followers.

*Mass at 11:40 a.m. on Mondays & Thursday’s are held at Sacred Heart of Jesus High School.

TAKE NOTE

ONLY YOU ... * "You were born to give a certain message to the world, to accomplish a certain task that ONLY YOU can do. Do you know what that task is? Maybe the answer will come more fully if you LISTEN to God in your heart, REFLECT on your gifts, and REALIZE what it is that others need from you. The greatest personal tragedy would be - if your message was never given, and your task was never accomplished. For then, you would never realize the meaning of your life." PRAYER: Enlighten me, Lord. Teach me how to determine where I am needed to give of myself to others. And may I be content with the results of what I do. Amen. LISTEN, REFLECT, REALIZE, and PRAY where you are needed here, at St. Mary's Par-ish! *(portions taken from "Focus Your Day" by K. Grabner) >A very special THANK YOU to the SHJHS Choir for gifting us with their beautiful voices at 10:30 Mass last Sunday!

Pam Haynes - Director of Liturgical Music 512 - 3967

and loving lives, bring them safely home to your heavenly kingdom. Amen.
