4 Sixth Sunday of Easter Today s readings describe that period when the apostles are getting used to acting on their own. Acts describes the spreading of the word to Samaria, curing the sick, and their reception of the Holy Spirit. First Peter reminds us that our response to evil must be to do good and to speak of our hope with gentleness and reverence. The psalm is joyous with praise for God and a reminder of God s saving of those held captive in Egypt long, long ago. John talks not only about the Father and Jesus but also another Advocate, who will remain even when Jesus leaves. The readings also contain the promise of continued love and comfort. The readings today reflect a time of transition, instability, and hope. WHEN YOU ARE MALIGNED Each of the readings describes a time of transition and uncertainty. In Acts, the apostles are learning how to respond to those seeking to share in the joy of healing the sick and casting out unclean spirits. In First Peter, the new Christian community is reminded that they will be maligned. Their response to such suffering is shaped by Jesus example of gentleness and reverence. The Gospel offers Jesus words of consolation to those who are being left behind. All those who had lost Jesus once through crucifixion must prepare to lose him again. But this time they are promised that they will not be abandoned. They are left with the promise that Jesus new commandments are the continuing guide to a life that, through death and resurrection, unites those who believe in Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit. KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS If keeping Jesus commandments is the key to loving him, being loved by the Father, and accompanied by the Spirit, then what choice do we have but to keep his commandments? It seems simple, but unlike the commandments carried down the mountain by Moses, Jesus did not leave us with ten statements of conduct to guide our actions. Jesus left us with a much more complicated commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves. This commandment requires that we first love ourselves as Jesus loved us. We must see in ourselves what Jesus saw in each one of us. Jesus saw that we too are made in the image and likeness of God and that we carry with us the fragility of our humanity. We must see that same Godliness and humanity in every person we encounter. It is not just ourselves we see in the face of our family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers. It is the face of God. We should act accordingly. Today s Readings: Acts 8:5-8, 14-17; Ps 66:1-7, 16, 20; 1 Pt 3:15-18; Jn 14:15-2

If you know of someone who is hurting, talk with one of our Stephen Leaders. They can talk with you about how we can connect the person you know with one of our Stephen Ministers. It s a great way for you to show how much you care! Contact: Sr. Cristina Marie Buczkowski SND x106 (stephenministry@stjulieschurch.org) DID YOU KNOW? Avoiding gossip. Our natural inclination is to discuss concerns and problems with the people in our lives, but it can be easy for these discussions to slip into gossip. When gossip gets out of hand, it can damage reputations and create division and fear, without any discussion of how to resolve the problem. Teaching your children to avoid gossip and focus on truth starts at home as always, parents lead by example. Try not to gossip about rumors or other people, and teach your children to seek solutions when there is a problem rather than just talking about it.

Most of us stopped reading aloud for pleasure when our children put away the Little Golden Books and the various Goodnight books. Believe it or not, people of all ages enjoy being read to. This is particularly true of seniors and those unable to read effectively on their own due to vision problems, etc. Experience has also shown that people in nursing homes and in other adult care environments can t wait to be read to. A number of our parishioners are already routinely reading to others, and they too, are enjoying it. If you are interested in becoming a Joyful Reader here at St. Julie s, please contact Malia Mcgrath. emai: MaliaMcGrath@mac.com

Please RSVP to Sister Marie Paul Grech at mgrech@sndca.org if you plan to attend. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The custom of genuflection is not found everywhere in the Catholic Church. In fact, it is a bit of breach of etiquette to genuflect in most Eastern Catholic Churches. If you re visiting an Eastern Catholic or an Orthodox church, the when in Rome rule should be adopted. Watch what the home team is doing! Usually, Eastern Catholics and Orthodox reserve a small portion of the eucharistic bread for the dying in a cupboard or eucharistic dove, but it is not a center of attention or devotion. The rule is to make a profound bow, called a metasis, toward the altar- -bowing deeply while making the sign of the cross. East and West split years before we Westerners began to reserve the Blessed Sacrament prominently in our churches. Thus, the East never changed the original custom of bowing toward the altar. Increasingly, as tabernacles became more widespread in the West and moved into prominent placement within churches, we replaced the bow toward the altar with a genuflection toward the Blessed Sacrament when its place of reservation is visible. In a church where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in a special chapel or off the main axis of the building, normally you should bow toward the altar when you enter your pew, because the eucharistic table is the principal sign of Christ s presence in the church building. If you have ever participated in the liturgy of Dedication of a Church and Altar, there is no mistaking the altar s significance: it is first slathered with chrism and then adorned with a brazier billowing clouds of incense that fill the whole church as a sign of prayer and presence! --Rev.
