We all admire strength. The discovery that even our role models have weaknesses throws us for a loss. We value strength
so greatly that we cope very poorly with weakness. Today's readings present three individuals who experienced significant
weakness in the exercise of their mission. Ironically their achievements become a basis for hope. In weakness there can be
strength. The first reading is part of Ezekiel's vocation scene. In the year 593 B.C. God appeared to this priest and called
him to be a prophet in Babylon, the land of the Israelites' exile. Ezekiel felt the Lord's power but was also keenly aware of
the hardheartedness of those around him. Nevertheless he accepted. Ezekiel was often distraught, but he was also resilient
-- weak yet strong. When Jesus returns to his hometown, the people reject him. They sense a glaring discrepancy between
his family tree and his teaching and miracles. Jesus reacts with discouragement and astonishment. Apart from curing a few
sick he works no miracles since the lack of faith is too distressing. In this synagogue scene Mark is probably
foreshadowing the final rejection on Good Friday (see Mark 15:11-15). However, the last word is not defeat, as the empty
tomb testifies. God is able to use our faults as well as our virtues. Weakness need not be the final word.
Congratulations to Charlie Koenigs & Jessica Smith who were united in the
sacrament of marriage at St. John, Johnsburg on June 27th.

A NOTE FROM FR. SPINLER: June 15, 2015
Dear Parishioners and Friends of the Four Parish Cluster:
Today I celebrate the 21st anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood. It has been a joy to serve you as pastor of St. Peter’s and Queen of Peace these many years and to live out my retirement in your midst.
As a result of my deteriorating health, I have made the decision to move in with a family member. This was not an easy decision as I have loved serving you; offering Mass, providing the sacraments and being part of the community.
Please know that you will continue to be in my prayers and I ask that you keep me in yours.
God bless you!
Father Ruben Spinler, 730 165th Lane, Montgomery, MN 56069
