It will b holy, if I am. Its pws will b filld, if I hlp fill thm. It will do grat work, if I work. It will b prayrful, if I pray. It will bring othrs into its worship, if I invit and bring thm. Thrfor, with th hlp of God, I now ddicat myslf to th task of bing all th things that I want my parish to b. Amn. Jok of th Wk An optimist and a pssimist could nvr quit agr on any topic of discussion. On day th optimist dcidd h d found a way to pull his frind out of his continually pssimistic way of thinking. Th optimist ownd a hunting dog that could walk on watr. H would tak th pssimist and th dog out duck hunting from a boat.

Saint of th Wk Stvn McDonald Pacmakr ( ) In 1986 Dtctiv Stvn McDonald, a Nw York City policman, was shot thr tims by a fiftn yar-old boy, a suspctd bicycl thif. Though h survivd, McDonald was paralyzd from th nck down. H would hav to rlarn how to liv, dpndnt on othrs for his daily car. But h flt h ndd to larn mor. I prayd that I would b changd, that th prson I was would b rplacd by somthing nw. H was dtrmind to lt go of th angr and bittrnss that his injury had unlashd: I ndd to fr myslf of thos motions so that I could lov my wif and our child and thos around us. McDonald kpt that pldg. H rachd out to th boy who had shot him and forgav him. But byond his assailant, his commitmnt to liv in a spirit of forgivnss also mant a dtrmination not to b dfind by his disability and all that had bn takn from him. H spok widly at schools and churchs, proclaiming th powr of forgivnss, but also trying to brak th cycl of violnc that maks victims of so many popl, including thos lik th boy who shot him-a young man whom socity had faild way bfor h mt m in Cntral Park. McDonald did on January 10, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who prsidd at his funral Mass at St. Patrick s Cathdral, rmmbrd McDonald as an icon of mrcy and forgivnss, a propht of th dignity of all human lif. Just lik you hav to work to kp your body fit and your mind alrt, you v got to work on your hart too, Forgiving is not just a on-tim dcision. You v got to liv forgivnss, vry day.
