Giving. And Truly Giving.

From the Desk of Deacon Rey Spadoni, www.ComposingCatholic.com

We are called to give. To those who are less fortunate. To those who experience great challenge. To those who are vulnerable, are in pain, and who live without hope. Recognizing that some of us showcase our suffering in an obvious and easily discernible manner while others of us carry burdens that are unseen, we are called to give to each other. This giving includes love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness. Jesus said it better when he offered what we now refer to as the Beatitudes, a code of living, a blueprint for salvation, a summation of his greatest lessons of all. These phrases tell us of the im-portance of giving. Yes, we are called to give.

Mother Teresa, in her ex-ceptional book No Greater Love, outlines a number of stories that illuminate her own view on this topic. In one, she describes a family of eight that was so poor, so unable to secure food, that they were in a terrible physical and emotional condition. Mother Teresa was informed of this family and so took some rice to them. Upon giving the food to the mother, she immediately noticed that she divided it in two and placed half into another container. When questioned, the mother informed the future saint that her neighbors were also starving and, so, she was going to offer half of the food to them. Per Mother Theresa, this is true giving. Further, she notes that: “I also don’t want you to give me what you have left over. I want you to give from your want until you really feel it!” She describes this as “giving from our abundance” vs. “giving from our

want”. I recall hearing a story about an attorney who visited Mother Teresa in Calcutta and who was prepared to make a sizable financial contribution to her efforts. When Mother Teresa greeted him, she immediately asked him to take some towels to a room and to clean off a young, highly physically deformed girl who had just soiled herself. This man talked about standing in a dark-ened, smelly room, wearing a fine and expensive busi-ness suit, and cleaning off a child who had been left to die on the street. He eventually came to realize that this small gift was worth so much more than any monetary donation he could have provided.

There is, of course, giving. And then there is truly giving, as in the Mother Teresa sense. As I reflect upon the seemingly simple words and ideas of this woman, I can’t help but ponder the deeper and more complicated truths they contain. Truths that Jesus understood and which he described in the parable of the poor widow who gave from her want, not out of her abundance. My overwhelming feeling as I consider this is that this is a great

challenge and a difficult message. But it is an important one. It is one worth personally considering. Are you a giving person? If so, do you give from your abundance? Or from your want? How can you be more like the poor widow in Jesus’ par-able or the mother in Mother Teresa’s story? There’s giving… and then there’s truly giving.

Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus

wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.” Mark 12:43-44



S . V P S The Saint Vincent de Paul Society is a volunteer group of parishioners serving the needs of the poor in our community. Because of the pandemic we have been social distancing and have not been meeting face to face with our neighbors. Thanks to your generosity, we are able to help our less fortunate neighbors pay their rent, keep the lights on, and put food on their tables.

If you are in need of temporary financial assis-tance, please give us a call at 508-476-6003.

Dear Friends, Each year we launch our Catholic Appeal and you have the opportunity to hear all the ways in which the Archdiocese’s Central Ministries assist our parish and help us carry out our mission. Over the course of the past year, that help has never been more needed or available.

Please take just a few minutes and watch this year ’s Catholic Appeal video, on our website, that highlights the tremendous help that is provided by Central Ministries during the pandem-ic—and also every day—to ensure we can all live our faith together in a meaningful and safe way.

I know the past year has been difficult for so many, but if you find yourself in the position to do so, please give what you can to this year’s Appeal. If you have already donated to the Catholic Appeal, thank you! Your gift not only helps Central Ministries, it helps our parish directly.

As always, we are so grateful for your support and everything that you do for our parish com-munity.

We wish to congratulate our 120 Confirmands. Now that these young men and women are fully initiated into our adult faith, we look forward to seeing the many ways in which the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit are manifested in them especially as they prepare to make important life decisions. They are the future of our faith, and their active participation in Youth Group and other parish ministries will greatly enrich the life of the church. May they walk ever in the Lord, and may His Spirit be with them at all times!

Bishop Robert Reed celebrated five wonderful Confir-mation ceremonies – from April 7 to 10 – for this to hap-pen. While attendance was limited by the present social distancing restrictions, it was still quite the sight to see the churches that full.

Photos of the ceremonies have been compiled in an online gallery

R 1………………..…...A 4:8-12 Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said: “Leaders of the people and elders: If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved, then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed. He is the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”

R P R. (22) The stone rejected by the builders has become

the cornerstone. or: R. Alleluia. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone. or: R. Alleluia. I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me and have been my savior. The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone. or: R. Alleluia. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the house of the LORD. I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me and have been my savior. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

for his kindness endures forever. R. The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone. or: R. Alleluia. R 2………………………..1 J 3:1-2 Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

A ………………………...J 10:14 R. Alleluia, alleluia

I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me.

R. Alleluia, alleluia

G …………………………J 10:11-18 Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”

A sincere thank you to all those who made a gift to the Clergy Trust Easter collection. Through your contribu-tion, you are helping us care for those who care for us. Blessed Sacrament: $5362 St. Mary: $4856

NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heav-en, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pon-tius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
