2 Page Two June 12, 2011 Spiritual Reflection GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT In one of the readings for this feast day Saint Paul refers to different kinds of spiritual gifts and different forms of service, but the same Lord (1 Corinthians 12:4). Yet spiritual gifts and service can be mismatched, causing difficulties for the person and the parish. Think of John, who had been head of a finance committee for over fifteen years. As an able businessman and head of his own company he dominated meetings, tightly controlled the agenda, and managed to push through pet projects by silencing and alienating other committee members. John is an example of someone with strong administrative gifts who needed a different challenge. Fortunately, John was tapped by the new pastor to begin a Welcome Home ministry for Catholics who have left the Church. This initiative is flourishing as John has discovered new energy and enthusiasm in matching his planning skills with hospitality. Then there is Alice, who was talked into teaching a parish religion class, although she had no training and didn t relate well to young teens. Alice did not really know her true abilities, so her service was reluctant and not likely to last. Another woman on the faith formation team sensed Alice s difficulties. They were chatting after class and Alice said she had just finished arranging the wedding of her third daughter. Her friend sympathized with all the hard work, and Alice said Oh no, I just love weddings! Alice now leads a team of parish wedding coordinators, who help couples through all the arrangements before and during their special day. She attracts new volunteers easily because she has such aptitude and love for the work. The Spirit is enriching the spiritual lives of John and Alice because their service matches their abilities, and their service, in turn, is adding new strength to their parish community.

Papież Jan Paweł II kończąc swoje przemówienie na Placu Zwycięstwa w Warszawie w dniu 2 czerwca 1979 roku w przeddzień Uroczystości Zesłania Ducha Świętego powiedział: Niech zstąpi Duch Twój! I odnowi oblicze ziemi. I po chwili dodał: Tej ziemi! Amen. To samo wołanie rozlega się co roku tym mocniej, im bliżej jesteśmy Zesłania Ducha Świętego. Dzisiejszej niedzieli w przepiękniej sekwencji mszalnej najpierw było kilka razy Przyjdź! Przyjdź, jako Ojciec ubogich, Dawca Łask, Światłość sumień, Gość najmilszy, Radość serc, Orzeźwienie, Ochłoda, Woda żywa. Utulenie w płaczu, Potęga i Tchnienie. A potem prośby: Obmyj, Wlej zachętę!, Ulecz ranę! Nagnij harde!, Rozgrzej zimne!, Prowadź!, i na końcu czterokrotne błaganie: Daj : Siedmiorakie dary!, Zasługę męstwa!, Wieniec zwycięstwa!, Szczęście bez miary!. W dniu Pięćdziesiątnicy Duch Święty, inaugurując działalność Chrystusowego Kościoła, spadł z nieba jakby uderzenie gwałtownego wichru i zobaczyli Go ludzi w ognistych językach. W dzisiejszym dniu wspominamy raz jeszcze zmartwychwstanie Pańskie. Ewangelia Święta przypomina nam bowiem wieczór tamtego dnia, gdy Jezus najpierw przekazał uczniom wielkanocny dar pokoju, a potem tchnął na nich i powiedział im: Weźmijcie Ducha Świętego, którym odpuścicie grzechy, są im odpuszczone, a którym zatrzymacie, są im zatrzymane. Już w swojej mowie pożegnalnej Jezus zapowiada przyjście i działanie Ducha Świętego, ale nie oznacza dokładnie czasu, kiedy to nastąpi. Duch Święty zstąpił dwa tysiące lat temu na Apostołów zgromadzonych w Wieczerniku, ale pamiętajmy o tym, że On zstępuje dziś stale na wszystkich, którzy w Niego wierzą. Zstępuje także i dziś na nas, tu zgromadzonych. Pragnie swoją siłą opromienić nasze umysły i serca, pragnie napełnić nas mocą z wysoka, pragnie całkowicie nas przemienić i uczynić z nas potentatów ducha. Dziś bardziej, aniżeli kiedykolwiek indziej potrzebny jest nam Duch Święty. Potrzebna nam jest Jego moc i siła do pokonywania trudności życia. Potrzebna nam jest Jego opieka do przetrwania ciężkich czasów, potrzebne nam jest Jego natchnienie do zrozumienia prób i doświadczeń, jakie Bóg na nas zsyła. -- ks. Idzi --

5 Pentecost Sunday Page Five Who is a Parishioner? There are many people who come to the rectory asking for a baptism or marriage or to sign a letter saying he or she is a parishioner. When this happens, our parish secretary checks if they are considered registered, and many times, they are not considered registered. So what makes a person a parishioner? You are not a parishioner because your parents go here. You are not a parishioner because you went to school here. You are not a parishioner just because you come to Mass here! Being a parishioner should be an easy process. You simply have to come to the rectory and fill out a registration form. You know you are a parishioner when envelopes are sent to you. It s that easy! No fee; no ID cards are required! Being a parishioner means that you are committed and invested in this parish. It means that you commit to keeping the parish vibrant, which means investment of your time, talents, and treasures to the parish. The parish would not be the same without our parishioners who make a difference and form the parish. Thank you for your dedication and devotion!

6 Page Six June 12, 2011 We meet the Risen Christ in another way: when Truth has access to form our choices. The truth has the power to set us free. In our culture, free people identify freedom with having options. However, the Risen Christ and His Holy Spirit seek the only real freedom, which comes from truth. When truth patterns our life, and we choose truth, our life is free. This indeed is counter-cultural. The truth about us must be acknowledged. I was visiting my brother s family for dinner a few years ago. The evening had a plan. Suzanne was having her last swim meet. It was announced at dinner that the family was going to the event. Her two brothers acted like this was a punishment beyond fairness. It was further announced that the boys were going and would act nicely and kindly toward their sister and her swim-team mates. The reasom was lost on the boys: we were supporting her in her activity no matter boring it might have been for them. We all went because family overrode all personal desires that evening. The choice of family overrode personal choice. The Risen Christ and his band of disciples (that is: us) reveal human and divine truth and so forms our choices. Our starting point is not individual rights. Our starting point is the Risen Christ and the common good, what is human-best for us in the short term and the long term. Our starting point focuses on the nature of being human. One cultural behavior places this collective truth in stark relief: Exploitation of men, women and children in the pornography industry is wrong, even if it has the protection of freedom of expression. It violates the dignity of each person, even if the individuals who participate in the activity think it matters not, or others are able to make a livelihood in this industry - it remains immoral. While in our country the law might protect a freedom, the band of disciples proclaims a truth which, when chosen, sets a people free. The Church will continue to point to the social teachings which enhance the human dignity of all peoples and each human being. In a culture like ours which prides itself on personal freedoms, we seek to have such personal freedoms tested by common good, the long term effect on human dignity. We will continue to preach and teach the social teachings of the Church in ways to invite and support our band of disciples to live differently. We live as if we belong to something (someone) larger than ourselves. We know to whom we belong. And we know that this awareness is not simply religious or spiritual ; it is at the heart of being human. Denying this belonging places human life in peril. The truth within our common humanity is way beyond individual rights. Accept that He is Risen for you! Pray: Christ, be our light! -Rev. Msgr. Rich Hynes Msgr.
