FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT APRIL 7, 2013 Scripture Reflection A TRIBUTE TO POPE BENEDICT, BY John Carr, former director of human development for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, America magazine, March 11 2013 p 9 I have been a great part of Catholic Charities in the United States for years and I was always inspired by Pope Benedict’s teaching: “Love for widows and orphans, prisoners, and the sick and needy of every kind is as essential to the church as the ministry of the sacraments and preaching the Gospel” Though the media focus most of the Church being against abortion and same-sex marriage, he had other concerns. He always called for respect for the poorest and most vulnerable, to avoid military force in international disputes, care for the environment, and the danger of a selfish and individualistic mindset which finds expression in an unregulated financial capitalism. Regarding Catholics and political life he wrote: The preservation of freedom calls for the cultivation of virtue, self-discipline, sacrifice for the common good and a sense of responsibility towards the less fortunate. It also demands the courage to engage in civic life and to bring one’s deepest beliefs and values to reasoned public debate. He also insisted that charity must animate the entire lives of the lay faithful and the market must not become the place where the strong subdue the weak. It is not the church’s responsibility to make this teaching prevail in political life. Rather, the church wishes to help form consciences in political life and to stimulate greater insight into the authentic requirements of justice as well as greater readiness to act accordingly, even when this might involve conflict with situations of personal interest. The stories of resurrection I heard at Catholic Charities left me grateful to be part of a faith community that does such lifesaving work. I wish I were part of a political community that sees our church and its retiring leader through more than issues of human sexuality. We all need to appreciate that “Love” is at the heart of Pope Benedict’s leadership and legacy. SJA/SHIM GARDEN MEETING: 7PM April 9 at the School. If you are interested in Gardening please plan to attend this meeting. Spring is just around the corner! Dear St. Joan of Arc Parishioners, Thank you so much for organizing a Troop Drive for our organization. Your donations enabled the Youth Group to pack over 200 care packages for the troops! Your donation means a lot to the troops! At the current time we are shipping to a lot of men and women from across the country that are stationed overseas and they are grateful for your support too. As always it is very hard for the troops to be away from home and the care packages are a great way for us to show support and let the troops know they are not forgotten. I really appreciate you helping us ensure that the morale of the troops stays positive! Thank you for your incredible generosity! I look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, Summer Tissue, President Military Connections QUOTES courtesy of Father Ray: My Mother taught me ESP: “Put your sweater on; don’t you think I know when you are cold” My Mother taught me humor: “When the lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me” My Mother taught me about genetics: “You’re just like your father!” Up Coming Youth Group Events April 9th– NO TUTORING TUESDAY April 14th– Youth Group Meeting April 21– Youth will be Sponsoring the Breakfast Buffet Adults $6.00 Children $4.00 Pancakes, Eggs and more.
