The Faith of our Children
Have your adult children walked away from the church or
lost their faith? Do you find it difficult to talk about? Is it a
strain on your relationship? Learn some ways to deal
with this issue with others in the same situation. Please
join us for an evening of learning and fellowship at Holy
Spirit Church at 7 pm on Wednesday, May 27 in the
Fellowship Hall. The Webster Parishes adult faith
discussion group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each
month to help us learn about and live our faith. Our format
is a brief presentation of Catholic teaching on a topic that
one of us has researched followed by a facilitated
discussion. Father Tim Horan will be in attendance.
Personal experiences, questions and opinions are
welcome! We are free to express views that are not
aligned with Catholic teaching. We may disagree but do
not judge one another. Join us and bring a friend!
Diocesan Missions Sunday
Today is Diocesan Missions Sunday honoring this year
the Sisters of Mercy’s fifty years of presence in Chile. We
also acknowledge the missionary efforts of the Sisters of
St Joseph in Brazil.
We are called to take part in the missionary work of the
Church. We may not all have to move to another town or
city to do so, but impelled by the Holy Spirit, each one of
us is to move beyond our daily concerns, important as
they are, to help others live in the faith that sustains us.
Bishop Salvatore Matano calls us to a responsible sharing
in the missionary works of the Diocese of Rochester. No
diocese is truly a diocese unless it extends beyond its
own borders and allows itself to be touched by the
presence of other churches.

7th Sunday of Easter
"They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.... As
you sent me into the world, so I send them into the world." In his prayer to
God the Father in today's Gospel, Jesus gives an interesting perspective
on what it means to follow him. He suggests that--like himself--his
disciples have a mission in a world to which they do not belong. Clearly,
their "not belonging" doesn't mean not participating. It doesn't mean being
separated from the world or avoiding the world. On the contrary, it means
a very real encounter with the world. Jesus came into the world and
sincerely engaged people and institutions by teaching, serving, and
praying. But all the while, as he told Pontius Pilate, he knew that his
kingdom did "not belong to this world" (cf. Jn 18:36). Jesus' work on earth
had the greater purpose of serving the kingdom of heaven.
As Christians, we should also have our eyes on this eternal kingdom.
Through our baptism, we are members of the heavenly realm, and through
this sacrament we are also equipped to bring a taste of heaven to earth.
Our place in this world is to make connections to God's kingdom. We are
not called to ignore the activity of the world and just wait until eternity
comes around. Rather, we are called to share the love of God through our
acts of service, our dedication to our vocations, and our commitment to
making the world a better place for everyone. A proactive approach like
this keeps us rooted in our fundamental identity as followers of Jesus. The
world may try to distract us from our mission or convince us that it's not
important. But we shouldn't buy the lie. After all, we Christians have been
"consecrated in truth."
