Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue

Lady dressed in blue–—

Teach me how to pray!

God was just your little Boy,

Tell me what to say!

Did you lift Him up, sometimes,

Gently, on your knee?

Did you sing to Him the way

Mother does to me?

Did you hold His hand at night?

Did you ever try

Telling stories of the world?

O! And did He cry?

Do you really think He cares

If I tell Him things–—

Little things that happen? And

Do the Angels’ wings

Make a noise? And can He hear

Me if I speak low?

Does He understand me now?

Tell me–—for you know!

Lovely Lady dressed in blue,

Teach me how to pray!

God was just your little Boy.

And you know the way.

A Manna form is attached to each monthly newsletter. If you need more, visit the school website; Forms/MANNA Order Form. You can also get forms from the school and parish offices. Manna is a truly great program that benefits our parish. When you buy Manna cards, the parish receives a portion of the cost (the percentages are listed right after the name of the business). Please consider helping by purchasing these cards! Once you begin participating in this program it is really easy to make the change from cash, credit card or debit to Manna card. Most of the businesses listed are places you already shop. If you don’t see what you need on the form, call Shawn (232-7744) to see if he can get it

for you.

To order Manna, simply complete the form and return it with cash or check. As with all things sent to school, place it in an envelope with your student’s name, grade and what’s

inside. We will fill it and get it back to you.

Use the Manna program! Manna is for sale after all Masses the first week-

end of every month and after school on Fridays.

Batman or St. Sebastian?Role models for children

Helping our children grow in their Catholic faith. May 2013

Why do Catholics go to Confession?

The Church calls Confession (The Sacrament of Reconciliation) a sacrament of healing. Sin wounds our relationship with God and with each other. Jesus came to save us from sin. So that the forgiveness of sins would continue, Jesus instituted the

Sacrament of Reconciliation, saying, “‘Whose sins you forgive are forgiven

them, and whose sins you retain are retained’” (John 20:20).

Through this sacrament, our sins, no matter how big, are

washed away and we are reconciled with God and

the Church.

Children learn by imitation, which makes it wise for parents to be aware of the role models our children choose. Today’s choices can be actors, rock stars, or athletes who may not have the most admirable qualities. It is important to offer a variety of role models to help shape how children behave in school, with friends, or at home. Choose for inspiration. Children see in heroes what they want to see in themselves, namely the ability to overcome weaknesses, fear or insecurity, and to be brave, courageous and kind. Parents can help youngsters identify inspiring role models from history, literature, family, or our faith who can offer examples of virtue and strength.

Who were your heroes? Talk about who you looked up to growing up. Was it St. Maximilian Kolbe, Michael Jordan or Anne Frank? Sharing your childhood

heroes gives you a chance to discuss how to choose role

models. Draw comparisons. When your child does

something kind or generous - “You were giving like St.

Nicholas.” Or, when she tells a difficult

truth - “You were honest like Abraham

Lincoln.” Encourage analysis.

If you aren’t crazy about your child’s choice of hero,

remind him that everyone has good and bad qualities. Ask what he thinks of the role model’s bad behavior and give examples of more positive ways to behave.

Fr. Damien of Molokai The Year of Faith saint for May is Fr. Damien of Molokai. Fr. Damien was a priest who cared for lepers (those with Hansen’s disease) on the island of Molokai. When he found out that they lived without basics like decent housing or clean water, Fr. Damien built schools, churches, hospitals and sanitation facilities. He was their leader and their priest. He gave them dignity and hope. Fr. Damien also contracted leprosy but served until his death in 1889.

Attitude matters Do you want to make a quick improvement in your family life? Change the way you talk about it. For example, “I have to pick up the kids,” implies obligation and drudgery. “I get to spend time with the children when driving them home” implies opportunity. It’s all about attitude.

“Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it” (Proverbs 22:6).

John 16:12-15, the coming of the Holy Spirit

Become a deliberate parent

In May we honor Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. On May 31st, we commemorate the Visitation when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth to share her joy at being favored by God. May 15 – St. Isidore (1170). Born in Madrid to a poor farming family, Isidore married St. Mary de la Cabeza and worked for a wealthy landowner. He spent many hours in prayer and was devoted to the care of the sick and poor. May 21 – St. Christopher Magallanes (1937). Fr. Christopher Magallanes was part of the Catholic Action Movement in Mexico that fought the anti-Catholic

Mexican government. Despite great persecution, he established a seminary at Totatiche. He was eventually martyred along with twenty-one other priests and three laymen. May 25 – St. Mary Magdalen de’Pazzi (1607). Born to a distinguished Florentine family, Catherine de’ Pazzi was expected to be a woman of high society. Instead, she became a Carmelite. After professing vows, she experienced ecstasies that were recorded in three large volumes.

Parenting can feel like a job or a joy, depending upon our approach. Try these tips to be a deliberate and joyful parent. Strengthen your own faith. Parents can act out of fear or faith. Having a child can put us in touch with mystery, awe, and an awareness of our own weakness, which can trigger fear. Fear can be a strong emotion, so faith needs to be stronger. Rely on daily prayer, frequent reception of the Sacraments, and regular attendance at Mass.

Keep only good company. We may have friends who are fun but not especially faithful or moral. Find people whose attitudes and life choices support yours. If you don’t live what you believe, you will eventually believe what you live … and so will your children.

Commit to a virtue. Choose a virtue or characteristic that will guide your family. For

example, if you choose respect as the family virtue, all that you do and say will be guided by respect

for God, for others, and for self.

Tessa wanted to dress like her friend, Brianna, in tight-fitting, low-cut blouses, low-rise jeans, or skirts that skim her

bottom. I said “no.” Then, when we

were rushing to an award

ceremony for Tessa’s sister, Tessa slipped into the car

dressed that way. I had to allow it or we would miss the ceremony. The next day when they came home from school, I greeted the girls in a low-cut top, skimpy skirt, and high heels. Tessa was horrified. She said she hoped I didn’t go anywhere looking like that. In fact, I was dressed like Brianna. I pointed out that she wasn’t looking at my face but at my body. She wasn’t listening to what I said but was focused on my clothes. She wasn’t noticing me, she was noticing my outfit. And that’s what would happen every time she went out dressed like this. She got the point.

In St. John’s account of the Last Supper, Jesus prepared the Apostles for what was going to happen to him but it was too much for them to grasp at the time. He told them not to worry, that the Father would send the Holy Spirit to guide them. The Apostles knew that the Father is the originator of creation and that Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus said that he is the Word of God and that he will be the sacrificial lamb who takes away the sins of each of us. They were still struggling with what that

meant. It wasn’t until the Holy Spirit came to them that they understood all

that Jesus told them. What can a parent do? This

Gospel gives parents the chance to talk about Trinity – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Children can learn that the Father

created everything, including them, out of love. Jesus came into the world to show how

much God loves us. The Holy Spirit was sent to help us

live lives of caring and love for all creation.
