Dear Friends,

There is a story told about a boy who wanted to learn his father’s

trade. His father was a burglar.

“Father,” he said, “You are getting older. One of these days, I shall

have to make a living for the family. It is time you showed me the tricks

of being a successful burglar.”

“Very well,” said the father, “you may come with me tonight when I

go to rob a house.”

When the family in the great house had turned out the lights and

gone to bed, the father and the son slipped in through a jimmied door.

The father shone his flashlight around and spied a great closet.

“Here,” he said to his son. “You go inside and see what you can

find that is of value.”

The boy stepped inside and began to search.

The father closed the door behind him and locked it.

Then the father left by the door they had entered, banged on it a

few times to waken the family, and disappeared into the night. The

family and the servants arose and turned on all the lights. They went

through the whole house, looking for the source of the noise.

The poor boy was distraught and puzzled. How would he ever

escape? But, being resourceful, he began making little noises in the

closet as if he were a mouse trying to gnaw through the wood. One of

the maids heard it and opened the door to catch the mouse. The

moment she did, the boy leapt through the door and bolted out of the

house.

As everyone pursued him through the yard, he paused to lift a large

stone and throw it into the well. His pursuers, hearing the splash,

assumed that the intruder had fallen into the well and they all gathered

around it to watch for him to surface.

Back at home again, the boy upbraided his father. “What kind of

terrible trick was that to pull on your own son?” he asked.

“You wanted to learn to be a burglar, didn't you?” ask the father.

“Well, I have taught you the most important thing you must learn, to be

resourceful on every occasion.”

Of course, we don’t really want to teach our kids to be nefarious as

they learn to grow into the adult world. But, we do need to offer them

some solid advice on what will help them not only to cope with the harsh

realities of life, but also be happy.

As I ponder what might be helpful for the present generation to

learn, it seems to me that one of the more practical pieces of advice we

can pass on is that life will indeed contain suffering which we cannot

escape. There fore, we must learn to cope with it as best we can, and

faith is the gift of God which will sustain us.

So many of us try to protect the children of today from any pain or

suffering. They, in turn, might learn that it is not necessary to accept or

bear it. What immense harm we can do to those who follow us if we

leave them with such a view of reality.

I often wonder, if God did not protect his own Son from the pain of

his passion and death, why would he step in and rescue us? Did not

God support Jesus with grace to bear his travails rather than protect

him? Surely the Lord would do no less for us.

Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Fr. Dave

ST. JOHN SACRISTAN NEEDED

Sacristans are responsible for setting up for Mass and

making sure that things are put away in the sacristy after

Mass. Duties include: unlocking and locking doors,

turning on and off lights/fans/sound system, setting out

books, hosts and wine and checking on the vigil candles.

If you have additional questions and/or are interested in

sharing your time, please call Lynn at the office at 419-

222-5521.

ABOUT LITURGY

Memorial Day: May 30 is Memorial Day in the United

States. While we don’t want to turn the Sunday liturgy into

a patriotic celebration (as worthy as remembering our

fallen heroes is), it would be remiss on our part to let this

Sunday go by without any mention of the Monday holiday.

It is always appropriate to mention as part of the prayer of

the faithful an intention to mark such occasions. A model

intention might be worded, “That those who have died out

of loving service to their country may now enjoy

everlasting peace.”

We thank all Veterans, living and

deceased for their service to America

and God’s children around the world.
