Jesus Christ is our savior and our master. He taught us both by word and example. He showed us how to love God for whom we were created. He says in today's Gospel: “That the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father hath given me commandments, so do I.” Jesus also says that He came down from Heaven not to do His own will, but to do the will of His Father. If we truly love God and wish to be sanctified we must discern God's will in all things and do our very best to carry it out! Since Saint Paul tells us that the divine love is poured into our souls through the Holy Ghost, we must always beg the Holy Ghost for knowledge of God's will and the courage to carry it out. If we want to love God we must not follow our own will, but rather the will of God. We must conform our will to that of His.
In Christ,
Father Jeff Fasching

Mass Schedule for Pentecost
Tue 21 Tuesday after Pentecost
Wed 22 Ember Wednesday of Pentecost
Thu 23 Thursday after Pentecost
Fri 24 Ember Friday of Pentecost
The Church recalls that the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles when “suddenly there came a sound from heaven,” and the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles. They received the visible presence of God in the form of fire. Since God is love, Jesus Christ says: If a man loves Me, he will keep My word.” Our love for God is therefore proved by our works. We love God when we keep His commandments and deny ourselves the gratification of our appetites. As baptized Christians, we must always call to mind our great dignity because we have God abiding as a guest in our souls. We must therefore cleanse our hearts and minds from all filth and works of iniquity. Jesus says: “We will come to him, and make our abode with him.”

Out of sheer love God has created us with a free will. He wants us to choose for Him and He calls us to liberty. The wonder of the Christmas season and the grace of our redemption shine forth in the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Word made flesh used to speak to us through the prophets, but now God has sent His Son in person in order to reveal Himself completely and to save the world!
Christ became like us in all things but sin. He ate, drank and slept. He suffered and died to redeem us and thus strengthens us when we ourselves meet with adversity. When we accept Jesus Christ our entire being gains immortality! If we acknowledge Him while we live on this earth He will in turn acknowledge us before God His Father.
God has created us in His own image, thus we possess great dignity. We must turn our hearts to God without hesitation. Christ has taken away our sin. We must obey Him and keep His commandments if we wish Him to honor us.
In Christ,
Fr. Jeff Fasching

JUNE 10, 2012 IS THE SOLEMNITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI. MASS WILL BEGIN AT 2:00 PM. A PROCESSION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT WILL IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW MASS BEGINNING AT 4:00PM. JOIN HIS EXCELLENCY, BISHOP JAMES V. JOHNSTON FOR THIS DIOCESAN EVENT.
THERE WILL BE NO CONFESSIONS ON SUNDAY, JUNE 10 BEFORE THE 2:00PM MASS.
Jesus Christ tells His Apostles: “All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Omnipotence is an attribute belonging to God alone. Jesus gives His disciples authority to carry out their mission. The authority of the Church, therefore, comes directly from Jesus Christ. With respect to faith and morals this authority is higher than any on earth.
The Apostles and their successors receive the command to teach all nations exactly what Jesus taught. We have the responsibility to proclaim the truth until the end of time. The teachings of the Pope and the Bishops should therefore always be accepted with humble obedience.
The mission of the Church is to continue the work of Christ. Christ promises to stay with the Church to the end of time and never leave it. This means that the Church will never fail to fulfill its mission until the end of time!
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Jeffery A. Fasching

In the Book of Exodus, God revealed Himself to Moses and spoke the words: “merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” God’s faithfulness means we should always completely surrender to God without fear because He always keeps His promises and is true to His word.
We must constantly foster a personal relationship with Jesus Christ though prayer. We must strive to receive the sacraments frequently. We owe God our very lives through service and self-sacrifice. We must obey His commandments. To do so, we must foster personal love and commitment toward Jesus Christ.

Your prayers are asked for the mother of James Gillet and the grandmother of Chad Koenig.
In order to keep God’s Commandments perfectly, we must rely on God’s grace to love Him and love our neighbor as well. Ideally, we should be motivated in all we do because of our love for God. If we truly love God it is much easier to love our neighbor. This is really the key to answering the “universal call to holiness” in the Church.
Turning to today’s Gospel, Christ works a miracle that has a huge impact on His disciples. The boat they are on is being swamped by huge waves. The boat represents the Church, which has always had to make its way around those who would attack her. From earliest times, Christians were persecuted and misunderstood. Jesus’ sleeping through the storm has been applied to the fact that sometimes God allows the Church to suffer persecution without coming to her aid. Just as the Apostles in the boat cried to Jesus for help, so should we. Christ will always show His power when it seems we can bear hardships no longer. He rebuked the winds and the sea and there was great calm. But He first rebuked His Apostles for their lack of faith.
If we want God to work miracles in our lives or answer our prayer requests, He always demands that we have faith.

The Gospel sums up Jesus’ life in Nazareth in just three words: erat subditus illis, He was obedient to them. “Jesus obeys, and He obeys Joseph and Mary. God has come to the world to obey, and to obey creatures. Admittedly they are very perfect creatures--Holy Mary, our mother, greater than all but God Himself; and that most chaste man Joseph. But still they are only creatures, and yet Jesus, who is God, obeyed them. We have to love God so as to love His will and desire to respond to His calls. They come to us through the duties of our ordinary life--duties of state, profession, work, family, social life, our own and other people’s difficulties, friendship, eagerness to do what is right and just” (Bl. J. Escriva, Christ is passing by, 17).
Jesus lived like any other citizen of Nazareth. He worked as a carpenter and earned His living by the sweat of His brow. He was obedient unto death. Obeying God’s will always means being unselfish. Obedience is also the first stage of wisdom. We know that Jesus during His hidden life all those years in Nazareth grew in wisdom and grace. This was because He always obeyed. We must follow His example of obedience particularly with regard to the teachings of His Church.
When we obey God’s commands we exercise wisdom and show our love for Him. Let us imitate Christ our Lord who was obedient unto death. Let us submit to the will of God in all things.
