Dear St. Albert the Great Family,

We celebrate this first Sunday, outside of Easter within ordi-

nary time, which is the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Just

three weeks ago Fr. Joshua and I were preaching on the mystery of

the inner life of God and we used a fancy word in Greek,

“Perichoresis”... which translates as “the dance of the heart.” I can-

not help but be reminded of this “dance of the heart“ in our second

reading, from Saint Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, in which he en-

courages everyone to “greet one another with a holy kiss.” This pat-

tern of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in the dance of love, is an

image that we ought to see in the life of the Holy Church.

This notion of a communion of hearts in love is quite a con-

trast to what we are experiencing in our society today, with all of the

outrage and the violent protest around the murder of George Floyd

in Minneapolis. What the world needs from us who are Christian, is

our commitment to defend and protect every human life regardless

of race, creed, or religion and our promotion of the love and mutu-

al respect of human beings that we can show. Our life in the church

is a perfect place for us to give this witness. Our prayers for the

world are the perfect response to injustice, violence, death, and con-

flict – let us pray for world peace, for health, and for a spirit of

hope.

We are now celebrating the second weekend Mass under

our new re-opening guidelines in response to the Covid 19. I cer-

tainly appreciate everyone’s hard work and preparing our church

and everyone’s patience and charity in celebrating under these

strange circumstances. As the weeks go by, we will be increasing the

numbers of Masses, Adoration Chapel hours, and confessions.

Please pray for the brides and grooms who have had to make ad-

justments in their lives, in the midst of all this strangeness in the

world today.

We Are planning to open the adoration chapel for limited

hours (9:30am to 6:30pm) Monday through Friday Beginning Mon-

day, June 8th until further notice. If you desire to come and pray

before the Blessed Sacrament during those hours you are invited to

use the material available to sanitize your chair before you sit down

and again as you are leaving. Your prayers and praise of God will be

greatly appreciated.

It is so good to reunite with old friends and faithful parish-

ioners after this terrible absence. We are praying for all of our pa-

rishioners especially those who have chosen to remain in the safety

of their homes. Let’s be of one heart and one mind and love of our

Lord and in prayer and hope for our world. We continue the live

stream of the holy Mass at 9:00am weekdays, 4:00pm on Saturday,

and 7:30am & 11:30am on Sundays, in addition to our daily live

stream ministry at 6:00pm Monday through Friday.

Peace,

“Kind words can be short and

easy to speak but their echoes are

truly endless.”

Confirmation Sponsors

A Confirmation candidate must select a sponsor carefully.

The sponsor chosen must be, according to Church law, a fully

initiated, practicing Catholic, in a valid marriage recognized by

the Catholic Church, and 16 years of age or older. The spon-

sor may not be a parent, since the parent already has a spiritu-

al bond with the child and presents the child for Confirma-

tion. A grandparent, other relative or friend may act as a spon-

sor.

I am a phone call or an email away if you need me. Know that

I am praying for you every day and I want

you to stay safe and stay well.

Choosing a Baptismal

Sponsor

Sponsors for Baptism must be Catho-

lic, have received the Sacraments of

Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation

and themselves actively practice our

Catholic faith. The Code of Canon

Law states, “Only one male or one fe-

male sponsor or one of each sex is to

be employed (at Baptism).” (Canon

873) While parents may choose to

have additional people informally with

the title of “godparent”, the names en-

tered into the baptismal register and

appearing on any certificate have to

conform to the above standards. A

practicing member of one of the Or-

thodox or Protestant churches may be

included in baptism but only together

with a Catholic sponsor. A “Christian

Witness” is a baptized person who be-

longs to a non-Catholic ecclesial com-

munity and together with a Catholic

sponsor serves as witness to baptism.

“Reaching Out” to Our Parishioners

If you need assistance in any way from our staff or a parishioner

friend, for example; groceries, or medications to be picked up,

please call the parish office at 440-237-6760, and go to General

mailbox and a staff member will contact you.

Preparing for Next Sunday’s Mass Parish LinC Letter June 14, 2020 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

Read the following Scripture passage paying attention to a word,

phrase, or idea that stands out to you:

Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will

live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the

world.”

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us

his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you

eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life

within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,

and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my

blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains

in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who

feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors

who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

John 6:51-58

Step 1

Consider and Discuss these 3 Questions:

Considering your life today....

1. What in this reading comforted you?

2. What in this reading encouraged you?

3. What in this reading challenged you?

For further contemplation....

What conversion of mind, heart, and life is the Lord asking of me?

Step 2

conclude by praying our “Parish Communion Prayer”

O Communion of Love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, embrace us as your children in this family of faith. Wel-

come us to a place at your table in the wedding feast of heaven. O Father of Mercy, forgive us as we forgive. Rec-

oncile us as one Body in Christ and make us instruments of your Peace. O Spirit of Fire and Light, send us as

your witnesses in daily life. Through our prayer, faith, and good works may we become welcoming doorways, in-

viting others to enter and encounter your Holy Communion of Love.

We make this prayer, Father, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and through Christ our Lord. Amen
