Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Page 3 Things Above from Fr. Bilot Many of us have a tendency to make assumptions. We assume that things should be a certain way or be done a certain way. We assume that our way of living, moving and being is best. Perhaps it is, but not everyone will agree. When it comes to the Church, we should never assume that it will always be here, especially if we don t take an active role in making the parish our home. I am indirectly talking about Divine Child, because the Church is the people. Without the people, you and I, the church becomes a museum, like many of the churches in Europe. They are beautiful places to visit, but there is a lack of faith. These days, there are so few faithful who come to pray and worship the living God. One could ask: Is God dead? Why isn t anyone here to be with Him? Why is it that many don t want to be with God? Secularism? I am too busy? It is irrelevant or unnecessary? All the above apply until people need the church, such as for a baptism, wedding, funeral or needing a priest. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that people turn to the Church to find help in their time of need. The Lord desires us to go to him at these times, too. Jesus never turns his back on his children. We assume that the Church and the Lord will always be there for us, and that is comforting and reassuring. Eventually, however, having the Church available for our needs will only take us so far if there is no relationship with the Lord. As I said, the Lord will never turn his back on us, and Jesus will always remain faithful to his promise. The question is: why do we turn our back on the Lord because we don t need him at any particular moment? Or, things are okay, so I don't need to pray as much or pray at all? This is not helpful in drawing deeper into the mystery of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and into the mystery of our lives. All relationships are a gift to be nurtured, grappled with, and appreciated. I am asking all of us to look at the assumptions we make about our relationship with the Lord and with the Church. I am also asking us to challenge the assumptions of those in our families, neighborhoods, schools and workplaces who are neglecting their relationship with the Lord and the practice of their faith in the Church. As I said, the Lord will never abandon us. The problem arises when we are in a time of need. Why? Because it will be extremely difficult to see, hear, feel or experience Jesus presence only when we need him. We expect that we can just jump back into a relationship and get what we need. Wouldn t it be better if we had an established relationship with Jesus already nurtured in our soul and in our way of life, so that when the storms, struggles and uncertainties of life unfold, we are secure in knowing God provides for us and the Holy Spirit guides us to the verdant pastures where he gives us repose? Take some time to ponder on our assumptions and how they affect our relationship with God. Please pray for all of our eighth grade students who will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Tuesday. Auxiliary Bishop Donald Hanchon will preside. On Saturday, our second graders will be receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist. These two foundational Sacraments are needed for Salvation. They are the path to those restful waters amidst the turbulence of life. Please pray for our youth, that the Grace of God will touch their souls so that they fall deeply in love with the Lord and stay with Him! Please pray for their parents, that they will fulfill their promise to raise their children in the faith by being the best of teachers, bearing witness to the faith by what they say and do, in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rite of Baptism) Next Sunday is Mother s Day. This day presents another opportunity to reflect on and pray for the gift of life. In our reflection, we come to realize that all life is sacred, from the moment of conception until natural death. For if our mothers did not believe this, we would not be here today! Blessings, Fr. Jim Bilot Due to the Sacrament of Confirmation, there will be no Novena or Prayer Team on Tuesday, May 5.

Searching for shelter, she gave birth to him in a very humble place. Mary, Joseph and their little boy were refugees in Egypt. Many of the women who call the St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) are like Mary. They have children, and their lives are complicated. Sometimes, they work but aren t earning enough to pay all the bills. They often face eviction, moving from place to place to find more affordable homes. Sometimes, they re immigrants or have moved from outside the area and are trying to make a new start. Sometimes, they simply need clean beds for their kids, free of bugs. Or, a few nights in a motel so they can transition to a new job or living situation. May is the month of Mary, our Blessed Mother. If you re looking for a way to honor her or your own mother, grandmother or wife, please consider a donation to the SVdP. You can simply drop your contribution in the Divine Child poor box on the back wall of the church. We will do our best to help bring some peace to a mother and her children. Meanwhile, thank you, as always, for your support and please remember to pray for the poor! Our Lady of Fatima Pilgrim Statue Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament "We are to be icons of mercy, radiating love and mercy to others.

Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan photo by Carolyn Primeau Elementary School Construction update: Poured footings for the new steel columns. Set the new structural steel in place of the removed bearing walls. This part of the project, especially in an existing building with restricted access was the most perilous of the phases as they installed two 1,000 lb. beams in a very confined area with temporary supports holding up the existing roof framing and remnants of the old wall above the roof line. Patrick Murray and Carlo Greco with his team accomplished the mission with some creative ways of lifting the steel from outside building envelope while working and installing inside the building.

Our theme is indeed fitting as the Church focuses on the New Evangelization spreading the Good News of Christ to the world. Gifts to the CSA make possible a wealth of ministries, programs, and services that touch the lives of thousands of Catholics throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit each day. No one parish, on its own, could provide all of the blessings that benefit so many. The CSA is a pledge program, allowing you to spread your gift over several months. Please prayerfully consider the most generous gift possible to support the 2015 Catholic Services Appeal. For information about CSA-funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to www.aod.org. Encore Remarriage Workshops Considering getting married again? Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (CCSEM) can help you and your future spouse welcome Christ into your union, improve your communication skills, and position your relationship to grow stronger over time! Adhering to Church teachings and led by Dr. Janusz Wrobel, a skilled CCSEM therapist, Encore remarriage workshops focus on replacing communication styles from the previous relationship with new ones based on trust and friendship as well as addressing issues that can arise in a blended family, and talking with children about the pending marriage. Three Encore workshops are available: Saturday, July 18 or Saturday, October 24. Each gathering begins at 10:00 am with a 30 minute lunch break at noon, and concludes at 2:30 pm. All sessions are at CCSEM in Royal Oak at 1424 East 11 Mile Road. Cost is $100 per couple. To learn more, email blaulw@ccsem.org. To register, call 248-548-4044 ext. 3100 Two Become One Marriage, the clinging together of husband and wife as one flesh, is based on the fact that man and woman are both different and the same. They are different as male and female, but the same as human persons who are uniquely suited to be partners or helpmates for each other. The difference between man and woman, however, cannot be restricted to their bodies, as if the body could be separated from the rest of the human person. The human person is a union of body and soul as a single being. Man and woman are two different ways of being a human person. Marriage: Love and Life In The Divine Plan, US Bishops Life is now in session. Are you present?
