PASTOR’S MESSAGEDear Parishioners,In today’s gospel reading, Luke continues Jesus’ “journey narrative.” The narrative combines several journeys andincorporates several statements of Jesus, making the journey a symbolic one. In this way, the journey is not only Jesus’ journey,but also ours through the mystery of His cross, death and resurrection.Jesus actually went to Jerusalem, but for many of us who will never make an actual journey to Jerusalem, the journey takeson a symbolic meaning - the way by which we follow Jesus through death to new life, even here on earth.Jerusalem is an actual geographical place where our faith rests on what really happened in the ministry of Jesus. But formany of us, followers of Jesus, it is much more than a geographical location. It becomes the way by which we follow Jesus as Hisdisciples. We relive the great redemptive deeds of Jesus in the Holy City, even if we have never made the journey to Jerusalem.It seems that Luke’s “journey narrative” is trying to make us realize that it is our journey through life as well, so that thepassion and death of Jesus becomes a living, transforming reality for us.While on His journey to Jerusalem, the meaning of some of Jesus sayings were difficult to comprehend. He reprimandedHis disciples against anger and revenge, and even though we can understand and accept this admonition, we quickly forget whenhard times assail us. In His next statement to a prospective follower, (that is, to us) Jesus says that “. . .the Son of Man has nowhereto lay His head.” And we sometimes wonder if we can understand and live this type of life. His third statement seems so cold andharsh. “Let the dead bury the dead; come away and proclaim the kingdom of God.”As Christians we keep our minds and hearts turned toward eternal life. We realize that ours is an apostolate of life; thatour family extends to all throughout the world; that we do not labor over the mistakes of the past or its glories, but that we continueto strive and work for the coming of the kingdom of God.St. Paul points out how we can make a good judgement by saying, “it was for liberty that Christ freed us.” All law andexternal pressures are secondary to the realization that our lives flow primarily from the presence of Jesus, whose life, death andresurrection direct us to how we can deny ourselves in order to live more abundantly as God’s new creation.We “. . .have been called to live in freedom. . .” not the freedom of living according to our human weaknesses andselfishness, but in freedom to live the fulfillment of the whole law; that is, to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.If we live according to the Spirit, we are guided by the Spirit. We will be able to act spontaneously and be assured thatGod is with us, and that we are doing His will. If we keep Christ ever before us, we will respond to every situation in peace andwith good judgement. As His followers He will show us the path to life and give us fullness of joy in His presence.God bless you,The Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph has decided to close their mission here at Corpus ChristiParish. Sisters Ann Jose, Helen and Eleanor will be moving to the Motherhouse at Chestnut Hill. Sister Barbarawill be going to another convent.Our parish is very grateful to the Congregation for their many years of dedicated service to this entirecommunity, especially to our children. In order to thank them more properly, we will be planning a “Thank YouCelebration” in the Fall for all the Sisters who have served here. The Sisters will be here at Corpus Christi formost, if not all, of the Summer.The Congregation will still have someone present on our staff as Parish Outreach Coordinator. Sister Mary CarolMcCaffrey will be replacing Sister Eleanor, but commuting from another convent.The Vicar for Consecrated Life is assisting in the search for another small, religious community who is looking for housingto possibly occupy our convent.Once again we are saddened by this news and are thankful to the Sisters. They leave here with our gratitude for those whohave served and our prayers for the Congregation.

It is inthe family that we learn that we are dependent on one anotherand where we learn to work together and live together. In thisSunday's Gospel, Jesus sends out the 72 disciples in pairs, asign that we are to work together to serve the mission of theKingdom of God.Talk about all the ways that your family works together.
