A Message from Father Aaron

When earthly lives end, especially when the person is

younger, we tend to focus upon and consider what was lost.

We think of lost opportunities — things they won’t be able to

see, babies they won’t be able to cradle, and adventures that

now must go undiscovered. Our minds create this chasm

between earth and heaven that sees the losses of this life as

permanent ones, never possible to achieve again. This

perception causes many folks to remain stuck in their grief as

they ponder all of the missed opportunities and regrets.

This is not resurrection thinking. All of the love that we can

give and receive, the joy and elation that can be experienced,

the adventures that can be undertaken, and the possibilities

to be discovered are all part of a continuous journey. They are

not ends in and of themselves but are all part of the unfolding

of a relationship we have with God, who not only makes all of

these wonderful things possible now but sustains them and

fulfills them into eternity. The perception and experience of

loss is really an illusion, because in God’s eternal kingdom and

in God’s time, nothing is ever lost. Even the most intimate and

tender of moments we can conceive of sharing with another

human being are only part of a journey toward perfect intimate

and tender moments to be shared with God in our resurrected

life. We become like God and see God as He is in eternity.

What greater joy, love, and hope can ever be discovered as

we walk down our often dimly lit paths in this world.

This is an awesome wonder and magnificent news to

behold. Call to mind someone you have lost in death. How do

you see them now? How do you see yourself in heaven?

Remind yourself, again, that God is the Way, the Truth and

the Life. Our happiness is not going to be fully realized in this

world, and there is nothing we can find here that cannot be

found one hundred fold in eternity. It’s all about relationship,

and not solely about the relationships we have with each other,

ourselves, and the world in which we live. It’s about our

relationship with God. If we realize how special that one

relationship really is, then there is only one particular of heaven

and life eternal that really matters: namely, that we fall into

love eternal and discover truth. For when we finally close our

eyes in death, then all will be well as long as we are with God.

There are no losses, only gains.

Twinned Parish News

Homemade Masks

Two generous parishioners have offered to

make masks for those who are interested.

There are two styles available. Style #1 ties

behind the head and Style #2 has elastic

that loops behind the ears. The elastic

needed for Style #2 is hard to find so those

should be limited to those who might not be

able to tie easily. Different sizes and color

options are available. Call Molly Zimmerman

at 320-250-8401 to order or if you have any

questions.

"GOSPEL means God has broken His silence, God

has spoken, God exists. This fact as such is

salvation, God knows us, God loves us, He has

entered into history. Jesus is His Word, God with

us, God shows us that He loves us, Who suffers

with us until His death and He resurrects. This is

the Gospel Himself. God has spoken, is no longer

the great unknown, but He showed Himself and

this is salvation.” -POPE BENEDICT XVI

These trying days seems to present the

unusual...are you familiar with 'nones': people

who say that they believe in nothing - this seems

to be fruitless when our world gives so many

opportunities to live a meaningful life. Please join

in praying for vocations....present priests, present

and future seminarians and women

religious....your prayers will be appreciated. Thank

you!
