The event will be held in Carges Hall and is expected to last approximately 2 hours after the formal program begins at noon. The program is part of our commitment to Disciples in Mission. Come and help us set the direction of our parish as we try to follow Jesus more effectively in our second year theme, "Welcome and Invite". We need you ideas and suggestions! Please plan to attend. Lunch will be provided beginning at 11:20 AM. If you have questions, please contact the Disciples in Mission Evangelization Planning Coordinators, Roy and Ann Erb, at 272-5428. .
BUILDING FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP
Fear is a powerful human emotion--sometimes leading us to act contrary to the way of Jesus. In today's Gospel, Jesus finds the disciples gathered in fear behind locked doors. His presence and His words, peace be with you, calms their fears. The gift of the Holy Spirit makes grace available--they experienced joy and hope that enabled them to open the doors. Our U.S. Catholic Bishops teach in their pastoral statement, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, "A more just world will likely be a more peaceful world, a world less vulnerable to terrorism and other violence", and, the Bishops recall the words of Pope Benedict XVI, "...the redeeming love we encounter in the Eucharist should shape our thoughts, our words, our decisions, including those that pertain to the social order."
Reflection: During this Easter season, reflect on how love for God and neighbor can help us overcome fear.
