2 FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER APRIL 22, 2018 FROM THE DESK OF... Father Kaluza MASS INTENTIONS April Good Shepherd Sunday The fourth Sunday of Easter is called Good Shepherd Sunday because the Gospel is always Jesus as the good shepherd who cares and tends to his flock. As members of that flock, we hear the invitation from Jesus to follow him. We must learn to trust, because Jesus assures us that he will even lay down his own life for our sake! Even when the road through life appears rocky and dangerous, we can be assured that Jesus remains with us. The Church guarantees that in the great gift of the Eucharist and it is at Mass that we are fed with the great gift of the Good Shepherd. The Eucharistic presence of Our Lord strengthens us to be able to maneuver our way through life, especially when challenging conditions are put in our own paths. We remember that God loved us enough to offer himself as a sacrifice on the cross as if we were the only one in need of salvation. In the Gospel, Jesus tells us that the good shepherd is willing to risk his own life and gives us an example. God made himself a gift to us and we are called to be gift to others. The gift of the Good Shepherd is to imitate his way so that we can continue to recall Jesus as the Good Shepherd and lead others to him. Next weekend our Confirmands will be confirmed at the Cathedral of Saint Paul! It will be an awesome celebration of that final initiation sacrament as full members of the Catholic Church! May we always be ever grateful for the wonderful things that God does through his church! Tues. (6:30p) Wed. (8:45a) Thur. (8:00a) Fri. (8:00a) Fri. (1:00p) Sat. (5:00p) Sun. (8:00a) Sun.

4 ST. MAXIMILLIAN KOLBE Three words summarize what we learned from St. Maximilian Kolbe: (1) Mystery, (2) Militia, and (3) Love. Let's ponder each one in turn. MYSTERY The Holy Spirit is the uncreated Immaculate Conception, and Mary is the created Immaculate Conception. She is perfectly united to the Holy Spirit, because she was conceived without sin, never sinned, and always does the will of God perfectly. She allows the Holy Spirit to overshadow her, take possession of her soul, and bear fruit through her. The Holy Spirit delights in always working in and through Mary to save all the other creatures made in God's image, first by bringing about the Incarnation in her womb and then by making use of her to form the image of her Son in all of the baptized. While Kolbe gives us the key to the mystery, he doesn't fully unlock it. Rather, he invites us to ponder ever more deeply the relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit, a relationship that goes even deeper than that of marriage. MILITIA Kolbe recognized that the greatest way to give glory to God is to unite oneself to the creature who glorifies God most perfectly, Mary Immaculate. He also realized that the way to give God the greatest glory is not to do so just as one person, but to have a whole army ("Militia") of people who give God the greatest glory. In fact, he wanted this army of the Immaculate ("Militia Immaculata") to eventually get the whole world to give God the greatest glory, through her, and as soon as possible. It begins with oneself. One must first give himself completely to the Immaculata. Then, one is to inspire others to give themselves to her and to live in total dependence on her, so she can use them as consecrated instruments to bring the whole world to the Merciful Heart of Jesus. LOVE Kolbe was united to Mary through a dependence of love. He tells us that we also ought to love the Immaculata by relying on her powerful intercession, experiencing her tender care, speaking to her from our hearts, letting ourselves be led by her, having recourse to her in all things, and trusting her completely. When we experience Mary's tender care for us, we'll fall more in love with her. If you have the will to love, you already give a proof that you love.
