Becoming Catholic

Dorothy Day writes, “The final word is love…To love we must know each other … and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone any more…We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that…

“Jesus answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…” (Acts of the Apostles, ch. 1)Dear Friends,Happy Feast of the Ascension! As I reflect on the story of Jesus’ return to the Father, I find myself relating to the disciples who must have been amazed at the glory of the situation. But if they were like me, they would be asking themselves, “What now?”I am a planner and try to be two steps ahead of any situation so I can do my best job and get things done efficiently. The Ascension would have thrown me for a loop. Jesus was sure and certain in his proclamation of God's Kingdom and what needed to be done to make that Kingdom come about. The stories of his healing ministry and the final triumph of the Resurrection over death and evil and injustice and division shows forth not the political, earthly victory, but the greater victory of Eternal Life.But now he is giving the direction to his followers that the Holy Spirit will be leading the charge and using them to be the means to that victory being made real in people's lives not only back then, but in every age and every time and place!I believe he is telling us not to worry so much about how things will work out, but to live each moment in the care of the Holy Spirit, knowing that things have already been worked out. Trust, confidence, joy, surrender should be the template, not control and power and worry!As we continue to live in the Holy Spirit's timeline and planning, let us be like our ancestors and live a moment at a time, knowing that in Jesus, the valley of our tears becomes the mountain of Glory!Sincerely, with love,Fr. Tim ... See MoreSee Less

“On Awakening” – A Rosary Art ProjectOn Awakening is a contemplative painting experience. No skill is required, just a willingness to show up! Rooted in the spiritual rhythms of recovery and the Church, this five-week series, led by Jason Gonzalez of 4th Dimension Sobriety, offers a quiet space to reflect, to reconnect, to create and to receive. Each brushstroke becomes a step toward hope – a visual prayer that invites grace to do what we cannot do alone.Sessions will be held in the Old St. Mary Parish Center (835 N Milwaukee St) beginning at 7:00 pm on May 27, June 3, June 10, June 17 and June 24.Each session will be centered on a different mystery of the Rosary. You are invited to attend one, two…or all five sessions! All materials will be provided.To register or learn more, contact Chad Griesel at cgriesel@ffpmke.org or 414-271-6577 x1014. ...
