Christ the Redeemer

One of the highlights of our pilgrimage to France was the visit

to the Ecumenical monastery of Taizé in the south of France.

The community was founded after WWII by Brother Roger

Schultz, a Lutheran Pastor, who felt that the war had caused so

much alienation that there needed to be a place of reconcilia-

tion. The community numbers about 100 men from different religious tradi-

tions, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox. I have been to Taizé several times, but

in 1997 I had a chance to meet Brother Roger and two other brothers in South

Bend, Indiana. Here is my column from May 1997 that recalls that visit.

I traveled with three other men from the parish to South Bend Indiana to

the University of Notre Dame. Brother Roger of Taizé was the recipient of the

Notre Dame Award, given to one who has made a difference in the world.

There were not too many people in attendance at Notre Dame, so in fact, we

were able to spend a little time with Brother Roger.

I also had a chance to visit with Brother Jean-Marie who is one of the can-

tors at Taizé. I showed him the pictures of the cross Icon that I had painted

during Lent. We learned from Brother Jean-Marie that the brothers were visit-

ing the Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart the following morning. We were

introduced to Janeen Bertsche Johnson, the pastor from the Seminary, who in-

vited us to join them the following day.

Our experience at the Mennonite Seminary was incredible. The church was

much simpler and smaller than the ornate Basilica of Sacred Heart at Notre

Dame, but the spirit there was almost overpowering. The singing began in ear-

nest, and throughout the room voices blended in four part harmony. Sometimes

the organ dropped out for a verse, and the alone filled the space. We sang songs

from all over the world, mostly unfamiliar to us, but we caught on quickly

enough. Only one or two of the Taizé songs were sung, still the experience of

communal prayer that we felt with this Christian Community was every bit the

experience that we knew and loved from Taizé.

The scripture text that was read from Ephesians 4:1 - 6 was about the unity

of the Christian Church. It was proclaimed in English, and afterward, another

voice stood to read the text in French. Presently, another stood, and began to

read the same text in German, then another voice in Tshiluba, then Chitonga,

Japanese, Moore, Russian, Arabic, Korean, Amharic, Dutch, Somali, Spanish,

Indonesian, Swahili, Low German, Cebuano, Portuguese, Kissi, Hindi. The

room was flooded with people speaking in all these languages. It was exciting to

hear all those voices speaking in their native tongue, and still we knew what they

were saying. I had the feeling that this must have been something like the expe-

rience that Luke was speaking about on Pentecost. There were visitors from all

over the known world, but all of them heard the Apostles speak in their native

tongue. Whenever we reach across boundaries that seem to divide and separate

us, we discover again the power of the spirit to make us one.

This is the power of the prayer at Taizé. All around the church of reconcili-

ation are people from different countries speaking different languages. The mu-

sic is a simple common refrain, often in Latin or some common language. Even

though we all sing the same text, the accents of those nearby give hints of their

native tongue. Whoever would have thought that in the outskirts of Elkhart

Indiana, at a small Mennonite Seminary we would find people from all over the

world speaking of the marvels of God in their own language? It was as if we

were back at Taizé again. And the whole time we thought we were going to

Notre Dame! It seems that we were really on a journey to discover the presence

of the spirit in a whole new place.

Christ the Redeemer

The art shelf is a much-loved space in our atria. In the atrium, after the Catechist offers a presentation, the child is invit-

ed to further reflect on what he or she has learned. Artwork is an important way for the child to respond. Children, wheth-

er very young or older, often do not possess the adequate vocabulary to articulate what is in their hearts or on their minds.

Art expression allows children of all ages to communicate visually. We know that there are many benefits of art for our chil-

dren, including the development of fine motor skills, language development, decision making skills and for visual learning.

Gianna Gobbi, who was the co-founder with Sofia Cavalletti of the Center of Catechesis in Rome, writes in Listening to

God with Children about the aims of art and handwork in the Atrium:

To give the child further access to and knowledge of the environment (through our demonstration of the correct use of

the art and handwork materials);

To invite controlled movement which leads to greater concentration;

To offer the child the opportunity, through the work of their hands, to continue their meditation and reflection on the

Christian Proclamation.

Why does my child not bring home artwork each week? For the child, it is the process that is important, not the

end product. The child is developing him or herself through the process of creating art. In the atrium, we send children’s

work home only a couple times each year. Why is this? We do not want the children to feel that they need to “produce” a

piece of artwork to take home, which may curtail children’s artistic response.

There are some common phrases that the catechist may use in the atrium when speaking to the children about art, and

parents may want to use them at home as well. Typically, when children share artwork with adults, we tend to praise the fin-

ished product rather than their hard work, with a comment such as “nice job” or “beautiful work.”

In the atrium, the catechist might rather say something like, “I saw you working hard,” or “you concentrated for a long

time,” to focus on the process, not the product. The child may ask us, “Do you like my drawing?”, and rather than respond

with “Yes, I like it,” we may want to ask him or her about their favorite part of the drawing or why they used a specific col-

or, or even “What do you think about your work?” It is important for the children to make their own discovery about their

artwork rather than seek the adult’s approval.

Shop at the Oxford Meijer and help support the

Oxford/Orion FISH pantry

Now through June 22, Oxford Meijer shoppers can double their support of

the FISH pantry by purchasing Meijer Simply Give donation cards. The cards

will help keep the pantry shelves well stocked for months to come. Meijer will

match all cards purchased now through June 22. Proceeds will be converted into

food-only gift cards and used by FISH to stock our pantry shelves with a wide

variety of items for the hundreds of individuals who shop there every month.

The current program is the latest in the Simply Give campaigns Meijer has spon-

sored with Oxford/Orion FISH and other food pantries in recent years. It has

become the largest and most important fundraising effort. Thank you for your

continued support.

Refugee Update and Needs: Drivers and ESL Interpreter

The North Oakland Catholic Parishes’ (NOCP) outreach assistance of two

Congolese refugee families living in Warren continues in the spirit of Christ’s

scriptural urge that we welcome strangers among us in need. Initially assisted by

Samaritas, the two families are coping with the challenges of acculturation in an

unfamiliar environment, the adults especially dealing with no ESL (English as a

second language) skills. The school-aged children are, however, making good

progress immersed in public school classes. Both families have expressed grati-

tude for NOCP donations of infant care items and assistance with transportation

to medical appointments. NOCP seeks further volunteers able to respond to

other transportation needs of the families as well as anyone with Swahili language

skills willing to assist our ESL trainers. If you are able to help with transportation

or with ESL, please contact Karen Swietlik or Lisa Pratt in the parish office.

To whom do we tithe:

A Mother’s Wish�

During her own breast cancer treatment, Christ the Redeemer parishioner

Kathy Luby initiated the idea for a charitable foundation that would assist other

local families who have been impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis. Following

her passing in 2008 from the disease, Kathy’s close friends established “A Moth-

er’s Wish” which provides financial and emotional support to Oakland County

families. The organization’s hope is to ease some of the day-to-day burdens

families face during breast cancer treatment, allowing them to focus more fully

on healing and spending time together.

Summer Mission 2019

For the past 20 years or so, our parish has worked with the Motor City Blight Busters and our teens have spent one

week in the summer volunteering in the Old Redford district of Detroit. We begin our day getting to know one an-

other with a social gathering and prayer at CTR and then car pool to the city to be Christ’s hands and feed in action.

After a day filled with new adventures, we return home dirty, sweaty and tired and ready to dive into another day. Our

days are filled with a variety of activities and include painting murals, cleaning trash, clearing home sites, spreading

mulch and gravel and even weeding and sweeping the streets. There is no job too big or too small for a heart that

walks with Jesus. If you have a teen in grades 9-12 and would like more information about Summer Mission, please

contact Lisa Andridge in the Youth Ministry Office. We have a parent meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 11 and a

teen orientation scheduled for Tuesday, June 18.

reflection From the youth minister, John 20:19-23

We’ve all got that one friend with whom we don’t like

driving. They like to push their luck and see how far they

can go with the fuel gauge before filling up. This hap-

pened with my husband once. My car gauge read “0”

miles to “E”. He just smiled and said, “Let’s see what

happens now!” He thought it was funny and I was a nerv-

ous wreck. I think he knew we had a grace period of

sorts, but I didn’t and wasn’t amused. A few weeks ago,

the same thing happened when I was driving with my

daughter. I had realized that we had some reserve in the

tank, but she was not enjoying the journey.

I’ve known other people – teens and adults – who run

out of gas in other ways too. They start on projects full of

energy and creativity. Then, as they near the end, they run

out of steam much like a runner who gave his all too early

in the race. The project dwindles at the end and isn’t fin-

ished with the potential with which it began. That doesn’t

have to happen to us as Christians. Our fuel is the Holy

Spirit. And the filling station is always open.

Some people have trouble understanding how the

Holy Spirit can make a difference in daily life. I think this

week’s Gospel makes that clear. Jesus breathes on his

Apostles and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” He does

that after saying that he sends us into the world as the Fa-

ther sent him. So, Jesus gave us the Spirit as fuel for do-

ing his mission.

What’s the point? If you want to really see how the

Spirit impacts your life, call on the Spirit’s power to help

you live like Jesus. You can do that in many ways. When

you’re ready to explode, stop and ask the Spirit to calm

you. When you’re ready to go along with the crowd in-

stead of standing up for what’s right, stop and ask the

Spirit to boost you. When you feel like turning away

from someone who needs you, stop and ask the Spirit to

help you care.

Like many things, you get better at letting the Spirit

empower you the more often you call upon the Spirit. I

know that I’m more able to feel the Spirit in clutch mo-

ments if I’m praying regularly each day. Again, like cars,

we need regular maintenance (a daily prayer life), not just

occasional trips to the gas station when our tank is empty.

So, fill up. There’s a world of people waiting for you

to drive with hope, healing, and justice.

Think about a time when a quick prayer in a difficult

moment has helped you respond more like Jesus.

Cedar point

We are heading to “America’s Roller Coast” on Tuesday, July 2 with St. Irenaus Church in

Rochester Hills. There are limited seats available and they will be filled on a first come, first

serve basis. If you are a high school student and interested in joining us, please contact Lisa

Andridge in the Youth Ministry office for all the details. Deadline to register is before June
