Do you also want to leave? �
I have experienced, and I’m sure you have, too, people who have
proclaimed that they “le� the Church.” These former Catholics are
not just those who have li le by li le dri�ed away due to indiffer-
ence, but Catholics who feel anger, perhaps resentment, towards the
Church for so many of their own reasons, as well as reasons we are
all so painfully aware of these days. Some of these people are
among our friends and family members. I always try to listen, per-
haps engage them with some discussion of faith. However, it is al-
ways a source of pain for us when we see people walk away from the
sacraments and the Church, because we know what God offers to us
through grace, His life and His love. We so want that for all to have.
In today’s Gospel, we read that people walked away from Jesus him-
self because they just could not accept his teaching and all that he
was offering to them… “many of his disciples returned to their for-
mer way of life and no longer accompanied him.”�
What we do not know, since it is not recorded in the scriptures, is
how many may have come back to being a disciple of Jesus. I believe
some did. Maybe you yourself are among this group, someone who
walked away, and then realized there was not nothing that could fill
the emp/ness le� by not having the sacramental grace of our
Church. Not only realizing it, but hungering for it. �
When Jesus asked his special group of Apostles if they too would
leave him, Peter responded… “to whom shall we go?” We can try to
fill our lives with all kinds of subs/tutes for Jesus and His truth. The
world offers much to try to subs/tute for the need of God’s grace
and the sacraments of the Church, but in the end it just leaves us
empty. Peter knew there was nowhere else to go, but some of us
have to figure that out for ourselves.�
With this thought, I share these excerpts from “The Hound of
Heaven” by Francis Thompson:�
(The poet speaks) I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I
fled Him, down the arches of the years; I fled Him, down the laby-
rinthine ways of my own mind; and in the mist of tears I hid from
Him…..�
(God speaks) Alack, thou knowest not how li"le worthy of any love
thou art! Whom wilt thou find to love ignoble thee, save Me, save
only Me? All which I took from thee I did but take, not for thy
harms, but just that thou might’st seek it in My arms.�
Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest, I am He Whom thou seekest! Thou
dravest love from thee, who dravest Me.�
I encourage you to read the whole poem someday, perhaps as a
medita/on. We are all pilgrims together on this earthly journey back
to our heavenly homeland. Some/mes the way becomes dark, con-
fusing and terrifying. We are frail human beings walking this way
together, stumbling and falling, and helping each other along. But
we never forget this unchanging truth…God is in our midst now and
always.�
God bless,�
Sister Eileen�

Twenty-four Hours with the Lord….
Friday September 7th - Saturday, September 8th
Pope Francis has encouraged each parish around the world to
open its doors for 24 hours to be with the Lord ~ so that the
faithful might encounter Jesus Christ anew in
Eucharistic Adoration.
It is intended to be a time of reflection and prayer and a chance
to rediscover; or perhaps discover for the first time, the great
mercy at the heart of the Catholic Faith.
At St. Patrick Parish we will begin these 24 hours at the 9:00AM
Mass on Friday , September 7
th
. The Mass will be followed by
23 hours of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
At 7:00 PM that evening, there will be a time of Sacred Music
and a guided meditation.
We will pray, as Beloved Children of the Father, asking the
Lord, “make our hearts like yours .”
