  • From Fr. Steve-
     May 10, 2020

    Today, as we celebrate the Fifth Sunday in Easter, it is hard to believe we are already 4 weeks past Easter. Or for some of you, maybe it seems like forever since we have been together to celebrate Mass and share the Eucharist, the Body of Christ. Each of us together are part of the Body of Christ, baptized into Jesus. As Galatians 3:27 tells us: “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ”. It is so natural, as many of you have expressed to me, your desire to receive Christ in the Eucharist and be physically present at Mass once again. As St Augustine observed after avoiding the Lord for many years “Our hearts are restless O’ God until they rest in you”. So, if we have grown close to the Lord in our spiritual journey there is this hunger, this void in our life, when we can no longer experience Him in communal worship like we are used to, sharing the experience with our brothers and sisters in Christ.  

    On the one hand it is good to long for this experience, but on the other hand it is important to fully trust, realize and believe that our Lord Jesus has not abandoned us. Jesus has said: “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt 28:20). He said this before He left this earth, encouraging His disciples to trust in Him, as was going to send the Holy Spirit down upon them to be their comfort and strength. We have the same Holy Spirit that they were given through our Baptism. As today’s Scripture reading from Mass says: ‘You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises’ of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (Pet. 2:4-9).  

    So, even as we expectantly look forward to coming together once again, we can be confident that we are part of Jesus throughout this experience, united to one another through Baptism, even though we cannot be together physically. This situation was not caused by any of us, but we have responded in love and selflessness as we have cared for one another, especially the most vulnerable among us. Jesus has told us to love one another as he has loved us. I look forward to the day when I can see each of you in person, hopefully soon, sharing once more in the Eucharist!
