Fourth Sunday of Easter May 3, 2020
By Decree from the Most Reverend David L Ricken, DD, JCL, Bishop of Green Bay
Two weeks ago, on April 19, Holy
Rosary was scheduled to invite a number of
young boys and girls to the altar of God for
the first time to receive Holy Communion.
This Sunday, May 3, Ss. Peter & Paul was
scheduled to do the same. In both cases
that special day needed to be postponed
until a later date.
Three people had been preparing to
be brought into the Catholic faith this Easter
through RCIA – two were to be baptized
and one confirmed. These individuals,
longing to be a part of what you and I
share, continue to wait. That event, too,
needed to be rescheduled to a later date.
Driving home last evening, I saw
three signs outside of places of residence
that stated a Kiel Graduate Lives Here! It is
Kiel’s way of honoring those seniors who,
at the time of this writing, may or may
not have a ceremony to honor their
accomplishments.
My friends, we live in an historic
time. The celebrations we take for granted
within the lives of our families and our
communities – those First Communions,
Graduations, Baptisms and Weddings –
those events that mark a new beginning
and the passing of time, are all put on
hold. So how do we mark the time now?
What we are living in right now is
called liminal time. It is that time when we
are betwixt and between. We have left the
old, but the new has not yet presented itself.
We know that this in-between time will not
last but we don’t know what it will look like
on the other side. It can be a time of anxiety
or uncertainty – but it can also be a time of
hope and excitement wondering how and
when and in what form God will show
God’s self to us on the other side of this
event.
But one thing we know for certain:
God walks with us through this time. Our
readings this week assure us of it.
In John’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us
that He is the Good Shepherd. He calls
each of us by name and He leads us out,
for we recognize His voice. Jesus came, he
says, that we may have life and have it
more abundantly.
Our responsorial Psalm says it
equally as beautifully. The Lord is our
Shepherd, and we shall want for nothing.
Sometimes he will lead us to verdant
pastures where we find rest. And at other
times we are led through a dark valley –
but even then, we need fear no evil, for
He accompanies us with His rod and staff.
Even though we may not see it yet, He
spreads the table before us and invites us
into His banquet.
My friends – I say all of this to
remind us as this pandemic reaches week
seven: Yes, these are odd and uncertain
times. Many of the signposts of our lives
have had to be rescheduled or cancelled.
But you know what wasn’t cancelled?
Easter. Resurrection. None of this
stopped Jesus from rising from the dead.
We still remember His victory over the forces
of this world and, as followers baptized
into His being, we share that same victory.
He walks with us through this dark valley
now, but restful pastures and sumptuous
banquets are being spread before us, even
if we may not envision them right now. We
need to trust that there is nothing Christ
cannot and has not overcome, including a
small virus, social distancing and schedule
cancellations. He came that we may have
life, and have it more abundantly.
Cup O’ Joe
Weekly Reflections by Joseph Zenk, Pastoral Leader
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Cocktail Hour
Who hasn’t been enjoying more cocktails during this pandemic quarantine time? And who hasn’t been longing for community? Well – how about we bring those two elements together into a virtual cocktail hour?
Joe Zenk will send out a weekly invitation to the first 20 people that email him ([email protected]) for a Zoom chat to be held each Thursday evening at 5:00 p.m. beginning this Thursday, May 7. You are not signing up for a cocktail hour each week by sending Joe an email – just for that week. And frankly, I (Joe) have very little tech savvy and no idea how this will go, so patience and good cheer (along with your drink!) will be most necessary.
Come have a drink with others and share stories of how you are doing!
YouTube Channel & Podcasts
Check out each of our websites and click on the Youtube link for a selection of Masses, Liturgy of the Word services, Stations of the Cross or recitations of the Rosary. There is also a podcast link on Ss. Peter & Paul’s homepage (ssppkiel.org) which connects you directly to the audio version of a daily (M-F) Cup o’ Joe podcast. If you listen to podcasts on your phone, you can also subscribe to Cup o’ Joe through iTunes or Spotify.
Need to Talk?
Don’t be afraid to call any of us at the offices. While the offices are closed, staff will be checking their mes-sages frequently and will be back in touch. Emergency situation? Contact Joe at (920)918.0903
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Fr. Carl is still present for the Sacrament of Reconcilia-tion, should you desire to partake of that. He is at Holy Rosary on Wednesdays at 5:00 and Ss. Peter & Paul Sundays at 9:00 a.m.
Churches Open
If you are looking for a spiritual uplift, or simply desirous to be in a familiar space with the company of parishion-ers, our churches will be open on a rotating basis from 3-6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday (Mon & Thurs: Ss. Peter & Paul; Tues & Fri: St. Ann; Wed & Sat: Holy Ro-sary). Ss. Peter & Paul will also be open on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to Noon.
This is seen as essential to who we are as a community, and has the blessing of local law enforcement. Christ will be exposed in a monstrance at each of our parishes for adoration. And prayer tools have been put out to
assist you in your faith walk, should you wish. Deacon Randy, Deacon Dennis or Joe will be present as well in case you need someone to talk to or pray with.
Limit 10!!
Just a reminder – that if you come to pray in our church-es when the Eucharist is exposed, we are still limited to only 10 people at a time in the worship space. If you come and see that there are 10 people already within the church, please be patient and wait for someone to leave. Also, if you notice that others are waiting while you are still in prayer, please be courteous and allow others the chance to have that same prayer time. Thank you for honoring the constraints placed upon us during this time.
Virtual Retreat
Looking for some spiritual nourishment during this time of quarantine? Epiphany Cathedral in Venice, FL, invited Fr. Shawn Monahan (a priest of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary out of Boston) in to do a three part mini retreat on How We Can Live More the Risen Life Jesus Invites Us to Live. These talks help flesh out how we, as followers of Christ, can live more fully that abundant life that Jesus in-vites us into.
Simply go to their website (epiphanycathedral.org), scroll down toward the bottom of the page, click on the link marked "3 Part Mini Retreat with Fr. Shawn Monahan" and click on whichever part you would like to watch.
