Live the Liturgy—Inspiration for the week... "Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is
love." So many people hunger for love. All of us desire to
be intimately connected with others, God, and our world.
Many things can work against this and cause us to feel
alienated and even profoundly sad. Pope Francis tells us
that our "infinite sadness can only be cured by an infinite
love." We have been touched by God's love. We are called
to bring that love to others so that their sadness and wounds
can be healed. We must do this even for those we do not
particularly like or who have hurt us. We cannot let any-
thing stand in the way of love.
Please join us on Friday mornings at 8:30am in the Chapel as we pray the Rosary together.

GOSPEL MEDITATION May 6, 2018 6th Sunday of Easter "I have called you friends." Authentic friendship can seem
hard to come by these days, especially in our transient soci-
ety. We move away from family, change jobs, switch par-
ishes, and end up in entirely new places with entirely new
people. When we look for new friends, we all have differ-
ent qualities we're looking for. While we may think of cer-
tain standards of behavior necessary to be a "good" friend,
we would hardly refer to them as rules or
"commandments."
In fact, if a friendship or romantic relationship--new or old-
-becomes characterized by imposed obligations, we would
rightly be suspicious. Friendships, we understand, ought to
be characterized by freedom. We love the person, even sac-
rifice for them at times because, within ourselves, we want
to maintain the friendship. So why does Jesus use the lan-
guage of command as he calls the Apostles his friends?
"You are my friends if you do what I command you."
Jesus is radically transforming the concept of command-
ment. In the Jewish heritage of the Apostles, they would
hear the word "command" and immediately think of the
strict Levitical law and distance from God. In introducing
the language of friendship, Jesus ties "commandment" to
inner freedom of heart. The disciples have this freedom
precisely because they know "what [the] Master is doing."
Jesus has invited his followers into intimate friendship all
along. He shares openly with them. He has patience with
their flaws. He isn't scandalized by their failures. He cele-
brates their successes. We, too, have been called by love
and invited into a relationship with Jesus. It is you and I
that Jesus chooses and appoints. He does so personally, not
from a distant mountain shrouded in clouds. This "new
commandment" to "love one another" is received around
the shared table in the breaking of the bread.
Family Faith Formation…the next
and final Session is TODAY May
6th. at 8:45 in the Parish Center...

Thank you… thank you… to all of our wonderful team
members who volunteered this year at the community din-
ner. And the tremendous support from our friends at
Caldwell Presbyterian church, who helped out each
month and arranged for 3 wonderful meals from 3 local
restaurants… The Ft. William Henry… The Holiday Inn
(the Crocitto Family)… and the
Adirondack Pub & Brewery (John Carr
& Staff) … Every dinner was delicious!
The help was plentiful… see you in October
Love doesn't mean doing extraordinary or heroic things. It means knowing how to do ordinary
things with tenderness. -- Jean Vanier
