From Father Mark Mertes, Pastor: I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you
always, the Spirit of truth. (John 14.15)
The Greek word “paracletos” is used to de-scribe the person Jesus promises to send to us to be with us always. “Paracletos”, or para-clete, is translated as “advocate” or “coun-selor”; Jesus is saying that through his Coun-selor within us He will be present with us in all things making known to us the grace of the Father in all times and places. When I hear the word “paraclete” I think of a pair of track shoes, or a pair of “cleats.” Back in the old days when I participated in grade school CYO track at the Bishop Ward track we would wear a special pair of shoes that had small metal spikes in them so that we could get good traction on the cinder or as-phalt tracks. I wasn’t very fast, but at least I didn’t slip and fall! How appropriate that Jesus promises to send us the Paraclete today! As we enter into our uncertain and ever changing future Jesus promises to give us a foothold, to help us get traction in all the new ways we are being asked to live: The Paraclete will help us understand our
our ReStart WyCo Road to Recovery guidelines.
Gratefully we are now able to offer public masses; at the same time we ask people to sign up for those masses so that we can know who has attended in the event of a virus outbreak. The Paraclete will help us figure out signups.
The Paraclete will help us get used to talk-ing to one another through our masks. I for one feel quite silly (or at least uncom-fortable) wearing a mask in public. The Paraclete will advise us that wearing a mask is a loving action that we can do to protect and help the most vulnerable among us.
The Paraclete will help us to get a foot-hold on our daily schedule; as we now look toward summer we can receive the Spirit’s advice on how to make the most of these days.
The Paraclete will help us to strengthen our efforts to serve those who do not have a home, health care and legal sta-tus.
The Paraclete will counsel us to be pa-tient as we reenter a more “normal” life; as Jesus’ followers we can model pa-tience and restraint in our work places.
So call on the Paraclete! Get some traction. Jesus will make our steps firm.

Catholic Cemeteries offers pre-need burial packages at significant discounts
Given the widespread and unexpected experienc-es of loss during the pandemic, Catholic Cemeter-ies of Northeast Kansas invites parishioners to consider the heightened importance of making pre-arrangements. To incentivize individuals and fami-lies to prioritize this pre-planning, Catholic Ceme-teries is offering significant and unprecedented discounts, ranging from $250 to $2,000 off pre-need burial packages, through June 15, 2020. Contact Catholic Cemeteries at 913-371-4040 or [email protected] to be connected to a local family service advisor. As Catholic Cemeter-ies phases into reopening offices for appointments, the archdiocesan ministry is installing plexiglass shield protectors and requiring staff to wear masks and observe other safety precautions.
Paraclete nos aconsejará que usar una más-cara es una acción amorosa que podemos ha-cer para proteger y ayudar a los más vulnera-bles entre nosotros. El Paraclete nos ayudará a establecer un
punto de apoyo en nuestro horario diario; a medida que miramos hacia el verano, po-demos recibir los consejos del Espíritu so-bre cómo aprovechar al máximo estos días.
El Paraclete nos ayudará a fortalecer nues-tros esfuerzos para servir a aquellos que no tienen un hogar, atención médica y es-tado legal.
El Paraclete nos aconsejará que seamos pacientes mientras volvemos a entrar en una vida más "normal"; como seguidores de Jesús podemos modelar la paciencia y la moderación en nuestros lugares de tra-bajo.
¡Entonces llame al Paraclete! Consigue algo de tracción. Jesús hará nuestros pasos firmes.

Desde Padre Mark:
Le pediré al Padre, y él te dará otro Abogado para estar siem-pre contigo, el Espíritu de ver-
dad. (Juan 14.15) La palabra griega "paracletos" se usa para describir a la persona que Jesús promete en-viarnos para estar siempre con nosotros. "Paracletos", o paraclete, se traduce como "abogado" o "consejero"; Jesús está diciendo que a través de su Consejero dentro de no-sotros, Él estará presente con nosotros en todas las cosas, dándonos la gracia del Pa-dre en todo momento y lugar. Cuando escucho la palabra "paraclete" pien-so en unos zapatos para jugar un deporte. En los viejos tiempos, cuando participé en un deporte de carreras de CYO de la escuela Bishop Ward, usábamos un par de zapatos especiales que tenían pequeñas puntas de metal en ellos para que pudiéramos obtener una buena tracción en las pistas. ¡No fui muy rápido, pero al menos no me resbalé ni me caí! ¡Qué apropiado que Jesús prometa enviar-nos el Plaraclete hoy! A medida que entra-mos en nuestro futuro incierto y siempre cambiante, Jesús promete darnos un punto de apoyo, para ayudarnos a obtener tracción en todas las nuevas formas en que se nos pide vivir: El Paraclete nos ayudará a comprender
las reglas del ReIniciar WyCo: Docu-mento del Camino Hacia la Recupera-ción.
Agradecidos, ahora podemos ofrecer mi-sas públicas; al mismo tiempo, pedimos a las personas que se inscriban en esas misas para que podamos saber quién asistió en caso de un contagio del virus. El Paraclete nos ayudará a resolver los registros.
El Paraclete nos ayudará a acostumbrar-nos a hablar entre nosotros a través de nuestras máscaras. Por mi parte, me siento bastante chistoso (o al menos incó-modo) usando una máscara en público. El
