RANDOM THOUGHTS

DIFERENTES PENSAMIENTOS

from Father Bill Promesso

Three Parables

A buried treasure. A pearl of great price. A net thrown

into the sea. Jesus offers all three images as examples of the Kingdom of Heav-

en. Like all parables, these cause us to stop and consider how we’d behave differ-

ently than God. Would you sell all you have to buy a field on the promise of hid-

den treasure? Would you give up everything to buy a pearl? Would you cast your

fishing net without some guarantee of a valuable catch? For most people, the

answer to all three questions is a resounding NO! We buy insurance against po-

tential loss. But God is willing to take a chance without guarantees. The only

insurance God offers are love and mercy. These are the doorposts into the King-

dom of Heaven.

Workout

Before the Coronavirus pandemic I went to the gym three times a week to spend

30 minutes or more on the elliptical for weight control and cardiac health and

then an hour with a personal trainer for strength and mobility training. Even dur-

ing much of the lockdown I was able to meet with my trainer in a private gym.

But since I’ve moved here, I’ve fallen behind in maintaining physical fitness

(except for walks with Bella). I’m wondering if anyone has connections or rec-

ommendations for a personal trainer who is able to provide their services during

this strange time. Public gyms remain closed, but there might be other options.

I’ve got some workout equipment in the basement, but it’s not the same as going

to a gym. Let me know what you know.

Online Learning

You already know that schools, colleges and universities are struggling with how

best to provide instruction to their students when the academic year begins. We

have also been studying our options for the faith formation of our kids and

adults. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd benefits by being an in-person,

hands-on and touchable process, but these times call for new practices until the

pandemic passes. RCIA is already using ZOOM meetings for their education and

formation sessions. Other groups will also have to find new ways during this

temporary situation. Lisa Brown and the Office of Family Ministry team have

been working hard to get things ready for a totally online, virtual formation expe-

rience for sacramental prep and regular elementary faith formation sessions. It’ll

be new and different and even a little exciting to use technology as a primary de-

livery method rather than just an aid. I’m looking forward to being a part of

whatever we develop! Have a wonderful summer week.

Weekday Masses

Tuesday, 7pm and

Friday, 9am in the church.

Meet and greet

With Fr. Bill

Following the Tuesday 7pm Mass and

Friday 9am Mass in Bethany.

We will social distance and

wear masks.

RSVP by calling the parish office,

248-391-1621.

Volunteers needed

We are in need of ministers to

visit and take Eucharist to the Home-

bound. We are looking for parishion-

ers that are under 65 years old and

would be comfortable visiting a fellow

parishioner once a week. Training is

provided and this can be done at your

convenience. For questions or if you

are interested, please contact Karen

Swietlik at [email protected] or

call the parish office.

Love One Another as I

Have Loved You . . .

In John 15:12, Jesus says, “This is

my commandment, that you love one

another as I have loved you.” Loving

and caring for one another is not just

the pastor’s job—it’s something Jesus

calls us all to do! Stephen Ministry is a

ministry in which people with special

gifts for caring ministry can put those

gifts to use in an organized way, bring-

ing Jesus’ love and care to those who

most need it.

If you know someone who is going

through a difficult time, contact one of

our Stephen Leaders Karen Swietlik or

Margo Clarfelt about Stephen Minis-

try. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to

provide focused, confidential, one-to-

one Christian care—to help that per-

son experience the healing power of

Christ’s love.

Reconciliation

Fr. Bill will be available Saturdays at

4pm for Reconciliation or by appoint-

ment.

virus was declared a pandemic by the

World Health Organization (WHO)

on March 11. People across the Unit-

ed States and around the world are

now contemplating what the long-

term impacts will be on their personal

lives, their communities and their

livelihoods.

In March, the Center for Disaster

Philanthropy (CDP) launched the

CDP COVID-19 Response Fund to

support containment, response and

recovery activities for those most af-

fected and for the responders.

Christ the Redeemer has allocat-

ed a portion of our tithing aid to the

Center for Disaster Philanthropy to

help in this worldwide crisis.

Christ the Redeemer

Last week we

threw my daugh-

ter an appropri-

ately odd gradua-

tion party, fitting

for the strange

days in which we

are currently liv-

ing. The party

was an experi-

ence of deep awakening for me.

In an attempt to accommodate

everyone’s different levels of com-

fort, we invited our nearest and dear-

est to stop in for what we called a

“Curbside Visit.” Basically, we rented

an ice cream cart and people drove

up to our home and enjoyed a pre-

packaged ice cream and about 10-30

minutes of conversation with our

family—all while remaining tucked-in

safe in their vehicles.

Our family shared in-person con-

versations with about 100 people that

day. We hadn’t seen many of them

face-to-face since March—many

even longer than that—because the

vast majority who attended (aside

from our church pals) are the rela-

tives and friends we usually only con-

nect with at Funerals, Weddings and

Graduations.

The poignant take-away of this

unique day was this...Just as the virus

displays a vast spectrum of physical

symptoms of infection; from NO

symptoms at all—all the way to coma

and death, SO TOO the emotional,

mental and spiritual effects of

COVID are just as wide and varied—

from my scoffing cousin who is still

hitting the bars on the weekend with

no mask and no change in his life-

style—all the way to those who are

now, by definition, agoraphobic, dead

set on not leaving their homes for

any reason. My family and I were left

speechless and in awe more than

once while taking in the intensity and

range of emotions that showed them-

selves in this series of short, yet curi-

ously intimate exchanges over melt-

ing popsicles.

One example. My 76-year-old Uncle,

who held me on the day I was born

and danced with me at my wedding,

now weighs maybe 90 lbs. and is still

struggling with complications from

the three bouts of pneumonia he suf-

fered last year. The minute our eyes

met and we held each other’s gaze, he

began weeping on his Drumstick and

expressing his deep fear and anxiety

over his impending mortality. He

cried even more when he saw how

much our 10-year-old had grown

since Christmas. I teared up hearing

how hard he is struggling with loneli-

ness in this, the twilight of his days,

and had the realization that this visit

could quite possibly be our last

“eyeball-to-eyeball” visit—which was

a sobering, unspoken awareness for

both of us I think. What this day of

dialogue drove home for me was that

even if we find a vaccination tomor-

row, we are all going to be a little

sketchy and fragile for awhile.

My daughter Lauren said ours was

the “safest graduation party she has

attended this year.” Frankly, I’m not

sure how to feel about that comment.

Do I put my foot down and jeopard-

ize our already delicate Mom/

Teenager relationship and force her

to stay away from these “unsafe”

graduation parties for all her closest

friends? A couple weeks before she

leaves the state for college? After she

has already endured the loss of Spring

Break, Prom, Commencement, etc.?

How do I, as a parent (notably NOT

a scientist, doctor or mental health

professional) effectively care for both

her emotional/mental wellness and

keep her and others physically safe?

This question sticks with me—not

just for my daughter, but for every

single one of us. Jesus often said “fear

not” but he also collapsed, cried and

prayed that “this cup” of suffering

might pass the night before his pas-

sion. “Jesus wept.” - is the shortest,

but perhaps one of the most pro-

found sentences found in our sacred

scriptures (Jn 11:35). As “Church” -

people who have been contemplating

the paschal mystery, God’s pattern of

death to new life for centuries—I see

our mission at this particular moment

in history to be a sort of midwife dur-

ing this time of heavy labor and up-

heaval. Our hope in God tells us that

something new is being born, but we

also know that this does not erase one

moment of the suffering involved.

So, we too surely need to weep—

for those who are ill, for those who

have died, for those who are lonely,

for all the losses we are facing during

this difficult time, but we also need to

hear Jesus’ gentle words of reassur-

ance and speak them aloud to those

we love “Peace I leave with you; MY

peace I give you. I do not give to you

as the world gives. Do not let your

hearts be troubled and do not be

afraid.” (John 14:27)

Fr. Richard Rohr says “I believe

that the combination of human action

from a contemplative center is the

greatest art form, one that takes our

whole lives to master. When action

and contemplation are united, we

have beauty, symmetry, and transfor-

mation—lives and actions that heal

the world by their very presence. Jesus

is the perfect example of this, but we

can also point to the lives of many

saints, mystics, teachers, and even

people we know who share this gift.”

I wonder, how can we, as a communi-

ty, be this gift to our troubled world? I

know that is where my deepest hope

lies...in you...in us...in the incarnation.

Christ the Redeemer

All really does mean ALL

A major theme in this week’s readings is, “The treasure

of faith.”

Faith is a great treasure we should never take for granted.

We, too, are great treasures because we are created and

commissioned by the King of Creation.

Many years ago there was a U. S. Olympic skater who,

after winning the gold medal, lectured the world about its

not stopping the slaughter of innocent people in a war-torn

African country. He was so passionate about this cause that

he donated his entire $25,000 prize to help that country’s

refugees. He put his money where his mouth was!

Here was someone who was using his talents and circum-

stances to help make the world a better place. He sacrificed

his earnings to help feed, clothe, and house people halfway

around the world that he had never even met. He was living

today’s Gospel.

Too many people think the Gospel is a Sunday only

thing. Once I leave the building (or finished watching the

recorded Mass) I can go back to living for me first. They

think religion belongs in the classroom or the church, but

not in the workplace, in school, or on the practice field.

Jesus reminds us that we need to give our all to God. That

doesn’t necessarily mean giving away all we own, but it does

mean living the Gospel in all areas of our lives. Yes we talk

REFLECTON FROM Lisa Andridge�

about Jesus in church, religion classes or youth group, but

do we live out what we talk about in our every day? Do

we treat people how Jesus would treat them when we are

at work, at school, or with our friends?

We need Jesus now more than ever. People every-

where of every age are struggling with loneliness, isolation,

uncertainty and fear. As someone said to me recently, Je-

sus is the antidote for a hurting world. If we as Jesus’ dis-

ciples aren’t willing to be His hands and feet to others, we

have no hope left. Mature disciples give their all to share

the Gospel in their world. You don’t have to work in a

church to be a bearer of the Good News.

Take a good look at your life. Does your family need

some understanding? Are there friends that need extra

support or a listening ear? How about those you work

with? Have you invited Jesus to join you on the job?

Consider making a chart this week that breaks your life

into different sections – sports, work, family, and friends.

Honestly ask yourself if you are living like Jesus in all areas

of your life. Ask Jesus for the strength to invite him along

wherever you go so others can get to know Him too.

In what area of your life is it the hardest to give your

all to the Gospel?

Lansing update

The Word from Lansing: Do Justice, Love Goodness, and Walk Humbly

Discussions around the country regarding race, injustice, and police reform

provide critical opportunities for mutual understanding and positive change.

Within these discussions, Catholics and other people of faith must be willing to

move beyond the rhetoric, to listen to one another, and to truly address the root

causes of racism. The Word from Landing column for July highlights the im-

portant role the Catholic community can play in efforts to combat racism. See
