Prayer for the sick
Father, Your love is as wide as the oceans As deep as the
sea,
And as tall as the heavens. May your spirit rise like a mighty wave
and come
and restore those who are ill. You are the water of life, You are a
fresh spring, You are healing rain
To all those who are in need. Amen

6TH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 6, 2018
A note from
Father Tom
I begin by drawing your attention to three items in this weekend’s
bulletin beyond the lines of my “Note8”
1. You will find a notice from me concerning a “Report of Capital
Work and Expenses for Winter/Spring 2018.”
2. It is noted for Thursday, May 10 that this day will be the
Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord, a Holy Day of Obligation.
Mass will be celebrated at 8a.m. and 7p.m. on this day.
3. We have received notice of the assignment of a seminarian for a
10-week internship with us. Christian Cortes will arrive in
Rockdale on May 19.
Now, to the Sixth Sunday of Easter 8!
When the Scriptures speak of “giving yourself” as the total gift of
love, what does that mean for each of us? To give ourselves as “an
offering,” as Jesus has done for us is, in some ways, the same for
all of us, and in other ways as unique as each of us is. We all
seek to be more mindful of others, to discipline ourselves to put
the needs of others ahead of our own when and as we can, to realize
and truly believe that the sacri- fice of Christ, shared with us
from the altar is a sacri- fice meant to take flesh in all of us,
for my sake, for your sake, for the sake of the promise of
salvation for the world! The “trickier” part comes when we look
more deeply into the heart of loving sacrifice that takes place not
“in the flesh” in some general, vague sense, but really in the
flesh, yours and mine. What does my voice sound like when it is
more finely tuned to the voice with which Jesus speaks? How does my
strength, powerful and/or gentle look and feel when it is being
applied to the needs of those in the world around me? What
sacrifices in my life are consistent with the sac- rifice of Jesus
on Calvary? I want to thank Andy Lemoine for initiating last
Saturday’s furniture pick-up in collaboration with the Central MA
Housing Alliance, and Peter Sabourin for being on hand to assist so
many of you who dropped what became an entire truckload of
donations!
Fr. Tom

This figure represents costs of work that was deemed nec- essary,
though not provided for in the budget. As quickly as we have been
replenishing “parish savings intended for capital projects” during
the current fiscal year, we have had to withdraw funds deposited
and more.

Thank you! We wish to acknowledge and thank our anony-
mous benefactor(s) whose great generosity has provided
us with a beautiful new, linen altar cloth and the new altar
candle holders on the Altar of Sacrifice. The two sets of
matching candle holders we have had are now at the Eu-
charistic and Marian Shrines.

Congratulations to all the children who are made their
First Communion this past Sunday! Thank you to Miss Melanie for all
her hard work and dedication to prepar- ing the children for this
special day. Also thank you to the families for entrusting us with
your child’s sacramental jour- ney.
The Edge middle school youth ministry met this past week to talk
about vocations. We took a tour of the church and talked about all
the different things that make our faith special and the Mass so
spectacular. We will meet as usual this Tuesday. The 8th graders
will be doing their first Safe environment training as part of the
night.
The lifeteen group will meet this Sunday for a service project to
begin immediately after dinner at 6:00pm. Kids should be sure to
bring work gloves and any gardening tools they may have
available.
Congratulations Evan and Kelly on your Confirmation
