Lord, make me an instrument <strong>of</strong> your peace.<br />

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;<br />

where there is injury, pardon;<br />

where there is doubt, faith;<br />

where there is despair, hope;<br />

where there is darkness, light;<br />

and where there is sadness, joy.<br />

O Divine Master, grant that<br />

I may not so much seek<br />

to be consoled as to console;<br />

to be understood as to understand;<br />

to be loved as to love.<br />

For it is in giving that we receive;<br />

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;<br />

and it is in dying that we are<br />

born to eternal life.<br />

Amen

A Reminder <strong>of</strong> the Holy<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> you know that I served in the United <strong>St</strong>ates Air Force as a Chaplain in the Reserves<br />

for 29 years. In the course <strong>of</strong> those years, I was mobilized (brought onto active duty<br />

temporarily) twice, and throughout those 29 years I was working for over one month each<br />

year on active-duty Air Force bases. One <strong>of</strong> the interesting phrases that the Air Force uses<br />

to describe the ministry <strong>of</strong> its chaplains no matter what particular denomination they<br />

represent is that a chaplain is expected to be "a reminder <strong>of</strong> the holy" for the airmen. I've<br />

always liked that terminology very much. When I served at various bases around our country<br />

and even around the world, I tried to do that as best I could in a variety <strong>of</strong> situations. I think<br />

it is good for my parishioners to know that their tax dollars support the work <strong>of</strong> chaplains not<br />

only in the Air Force but throughout the United <strong>St</strong>ates Armed Forces. And we are called to<br />

do many things in the course <strong>of</strong> our ministry.<br />

Working as a chapel team, my fellow chaplains and our assistants and I have tried to bring our<br />

best efforts together to provide support for those men and women preparing for or returning<br />

from deployment to overseas bases, to minister to their families at home, and to meet with<br />

the family members <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> those brave men and women who have been injured or killed in<br />

action in Iraq and Afghanistan. I've have the opportunity to counsel young airmen away from<br />

home for the first time (and sometimes have felt that filling the role <strong>of</strong> a kindly father was<br />

as important to them as filling the role <strong>of</strong> a pastor). We have tried to be "reminders <strong>of</strong> the<br />

holy" to those who work at stateside bases fulfilling the mission <strong>of</strong> the Air Force.<br />

I encourage everyone in the parish to remember the men and women <strong>of</strong> all our Armed Forces<br />

when you pray. Those who currently serve in our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast<br />

Guard are protecting our freedom, and sometimes putting their own lives on the line to do it.<br />

At the very least, we should be praying for their safety and protection.<br />

Maybe the idea <strong>of</strong> being "a reminder <strong>of</strong> the holy" might be something that can inspire all <strong>of</strong> us<br />

during the coming weeks. It's not just something for an Air Force chaplain to do. It's<br />

something that each one <strong>of</strong> us should be doing for each other. Just imagine how much good<br />

might be accomplished in our communities and in our families if there were hundreds <strong>of</strong><br />

"reminders <strong>of</strong> the holy" for people to see and encounter each and every day <strong>of</strong> the year! If<br />

only they could see the joy and the peace and the happiness that true religion brings, it could<br />

change their lives! It's something beautiful and powerful to think about!<br />

See you in <strong>church</strong>!<br />

Father Charlie

the sick at home. In emergency situations when the <strong>of</strong>fice is closed,<br />

In case <strong>of</strong> hospitalization, let the hospital staff know that you would<br />

like to have the Catholic priest chaplain see you.<br />

♦ Holy Communion to the Sick: If you are at home, please call the<br />
