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

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

and future seminarians and women
religious....your prayers will be appreciated. Thank
you!
