Things Above from Fr. Bilot
THE GREAT GIFT OF PALM SUNDAY!
Our Lord triumphantly enters into
Jerusalem. A man filled with confidence in
the Father’s plan. A man knowing this is
where he will confront the worst of human
nature -- evil at its worst. A man who
continues to love up to the end. No regrets.
No bitterness. No grudges. He takes it all,
the good and the bad, into his most sacred
heart, transforms it in love, and sends it
back out into the world. The message he sends out?
+ “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do.”
+Thank you, Simon, for helping me carry this piece of wood
that my father and I could have used to make a beautiful piece of
furniture for your home. How ironic that the material of his trade
(wood) would be the instrument used for his death.
+A gift to Veronica for wiping his face filled with blood, sweat
and people’s spit: a veil with his image.
+ A lesson in courage: to never give up no matter how many
times you fall. Get up and trust in the Father, and he will see you
through.
+Forgiveness. Remember the thief on the cross? He
recognized his sin and asked for not only forgiveness, but life with
the Lord in paradise. What faith! (His name is St. Dismas; name
is attributed to him. There is a statue of him in St. Peter’s in
Rome, one of the statues in the four columns around the altar.)
+Trust in God and not in the world, and victory will be ours:
Eternal Life.
Jesus gave us a message. Despite the difficult, sad and
painful experiences of life, mostly imposed on us by other’s
people sin, Jesus lived in faith, hope and love. Never rendering
evil for evil. He gave himself to others freely without any ulterior
motives. During this most holy of weeks, I ask you to take time,
make time, to reflect over today’s Gospel. Think about God’s gift
to us. What does Jesus’ life mean for me? How does Jesus’ life
and death help me to strive to be the person God the Father
created me to be?
I truly hope that you will attend the beautiful liturgies this
coming week. Holy Thursday evening is the Mass of the Lord’s
Supper, followed by quiet prayer until midnight. It is beautiful to
come in the later hours of the evening and pray in the beauty of
the “garden” in church. On Good Friday, come and engage in the
Gospel Passion of our Lord and listen to the greatest love story
one can ever imagine. Come and adore the cross and receive the
Holy Eucharist that sustains us until the great joy of Easter. On
Saturday, come for the blessing of the food baskets. A time to
stop and reflect on how blessed we are to have food to eat. And
of course, the Easter Vigil on Saturday night. Listening to the
story of salvation history unfold is breathtaking. Experience the
dark church being lit by the light of Christ, and our catechumens
brought into the life of Christ through baptism. It is all good and
holy. I so look forward to praying with you during this most holy
time.
In Prayer,
Fr. Jim

Archdiocese and parishes provide ministries, programs, and
services to support Catholics in immeasurable ways. To date
we have raised $98,115 of our parish CSA goal of
[$205,502].
This progress shows that the spirit of sacrifice and generosity
abounds at Divine Child.
Thank you to all of the parishioners who have
participated so far. If you have not yet made your pledge,
please pray about how you can help further the ministries of
our CSA and consider making the most generous gift
possible. With your help we will be able to meet our parish
goal.

Commentary
d,/^t<E͗
!
Holy Week: The Great Week
We now enter into the holiest week of the
year…Holy Week! Eastern Churches call this
week “The Great Week,” and certainly it is.
This is the Holy Week when Jesus Christ, our
Lord and Savior, He who is God Himself,
defeated sin, death, and the devil! This is the
Great Week when Jesus redeemed us by His
Precious Blood! If we allow ourselves to truly “enter into” this
Holy Week, then this “Great Week” can be a powerful
experience for each and every one of us.
How can you and I truly “enter into” this Holy Week?
Well, we must resist the temptation to treat this week as any
other ordinary week. We must fight against the ordinariness,
the mundaneness, the routineness, and the typical business that
will try to creep into this Holy Week. If you haven’t already,
prepare yourself for this Holy Week by going to confession.
Each day turn off your TV and read the Gospel passage of the
day (especially on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy
Saturday, and Easter Sunday). Try hard to attend (i.e. “enter
into”) all of the Liturgies on these Holy Days of the Triduum
(this week’s Triduum consists of 1) Holy Thursday’s Mass of
the Lord’s Supper, 2) Good Friday’s Celebration of the Lord’s
Passion, and 3) the great Easter Vigil on Saturday evening.
The times of these beautiful Liturgies can be found in this
bulletin.) Attempt to read the day’s Gospel before coming to
Church. If you are able to, after you read the Gospel of the
day, spend five minutes in silence allowing conversation
between you and God (go to www.usccb.org to find the day’s
readings). After attending the Stations of the Cross at our
Church on Good Friday, try to watch some of Pope Francis’
Stations of the Cross from Rome on the EWTN television
network. Finally, allow yourself to find joy in receiving Jesus
in the Eucharist when you come to Mass at the Easter Vigil
and/or on Easter Sunday. Again, if you allow yourself (and
your families) to “enter into” this Holy Week, then you will
have a powerful experience! Please know of my prayers for
you during this Great Week.
God Bless You,
Fr. John

Abstinence - Age 14 & Older
Abstinence from eating meat is to be observed on Ash Wednesday, Good
Friday & the Fridays of Lent. Eggs, milk products, condiments made of

Days of fast are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. One full meal a day is
permitted; the combination of other meals must be less than the full meal. When

During the Passover in ancient Jerusalem,
pilgrims camped in tents in the hills outside
the city. In fact, after the Last Supper, Jesus and his
disciples went up to Gethsemane on the Mount of
Olives. As the Lord said, he had no home of his own.
Many young people in our community live in difficult
family situations. And a chance to get away to a
Christian camp could make a huge difference in their
lives.
That’s why the St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) has
operated a camp on Lake Huron for more than 90 years.
Camp Ozanam is named for the founder of the SVdP,
who was only 20 years old when he established this
ministry to the poor.
Kids 8-14 years old are eligible to attend, and there’s
no cost to campers. You can learn more at: http://
svdpdet.org/need-help/camps/
Campers must be visited in advance and
recommended by members of the SVdP. If you know a
needy boy or girl who would like a week away this
summer, contact the Divine Child Rectory Office. And
the child’s need doesn’t have to be an economic one.
Perhaps, a kid is dealing with chronically ill parents or
another challenging situation. In any event, this is a
chance for young people to take their
problems to the Lord, in a restful
place, away from the noise and
turmoil of ever day life. Please let
SVdP know if you know of a potential
camper!

Catechumen Jade Collins (right): "The RCIA program has allowed needed
structure in my family's faith. It has assisted toward my goal of becoming baptized
and has strengthened my relationship with God and my confidence to carry these
learnings into my home and community life. This has been a great spiritual changing experience.”
Catechumen Doug McElroy (left): "I joined the RCIA to help bring my family
closer. Since joining, I feel that it has. My wife and daughter and I sit during some
dinners and talk about what we are learning. I think this has been a good experience for
me and my family."
Catechumen Brianna McElroy (right): "At first, I didn't know very much about the
sacraments, but now, with the RCIA, I know and have learned interesting things about
God. I'm very excited to receive the sacraments and I feel very blessed that I get to do
so. I know that God has a path for me because I'm going to receive his grace and I'm
learning more and more about Him every day."
Catechumen Shane Fugate (left): "I've grown up a Christian my whole life,
however, my father is Baptist and my mother is Catholic. Because of the conflict of
interest, they agreed to allow me to choose on my own denomination of Christianity I
would be when I reached 16 years old. After attending Divine Child High School, I
knew Catholicism was the right choice for me. Working with Mr. Horst has only reassured me in this regard. I have learned quite a lot about not only my faith, but also
myself. I would like to thank Father Jim and Father John, all of the D.C community,
and especially Mr. Horst for making this such a smooth journey to baptism."
Candidate: Julie McElroy (right): "I feel very blessed that I am able to share these
spiritual experiences with my family and have met so many wonderful and welcoming
people in the D.C. community. I look forward to continuing my faith and growing
with the Catholic community."
Candidate Melody Zukowski (left): “RCIA has been a great experience. It has
been a terrific community to grow and learn with.”
Candidate Carly Woodard (right): “RCIA has been a great journey thanks to my
fellow classmates, Fr. Jim, Fr. John, and Tim. The process has brought joy in the fact
that it has shown me how to live a Catholic lifestyle.”
Candidate Roger Schultz (left): “The RCIA class has brought me much closer in
my relationship with God and my personal spirituality. Having been raised in the
Christian faith (Methodist), I had a basic understanding but not true and full. My
journey has brought closure in my faith.”
Confirmation Candidate Jennifer Gondek (right): “I have enjoyed learning more
about my faith while attending RCIA. I am excited to be confirmed the same year
as my daughter, and the special bond formed from sharing this journey.”

To celebrate Reading Month, Mr. Damian Hermann
(High School Principal), Fr. Bilot and Fr. Kopson were all
guest readers for the junior high and sixth grade students.
They creatively shared their joy of reading and had the
students thoroughly engaged.
A special thank you to Fr. Bilot, Fr. Kopson and Mr.
Hermann for taking time out of your busy week to share
your gifts. We are so grateful and blessed!
Emerald School Award!
Fourth grade students recently completed a family history
project in social studies class. One of the elements of the
project was to complete a family tree. They also had to
write about some family foods and traditions, an
interesting family story, a comparison to somebody in their
family with themselves, and how/why their family came to
Michigan. The completed project also included maps and
family photos. It was a great way for students to learn
more about their family and heritage.
With the help of Mrs. Prevost, Mrs. Garcia, and the
Environmental Club, DCES has once again been
recognized and awarded the Emerald Status.
Thank you for all your help and remember to
continue to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Archdiocesan News
A Mini-Series on the Order of the
Mass by Msgr. Kasza
A Liturgical Moment:
Penitential Act
After the Greeting, the Priest and the assembly are invited to
pause and reflect upon their sinfulness, asking for God’s mercy.
In the years prior to the Second Vatican Council, these
penitential prayers were said by the priest and altar boy at the
foot of the altar. After the Council, it was decided to include a
Penitential Act at the beginning of Mass in which all the
participants would confess their sins to God. The Act of
Penitence contains four parts: an invitation to recall our
sinfulness, a period of silent reflection, a common proclamation
of sinfulness (either a Confiteor or Kyrie) and the concluding
prayer of “absolution” said by the priest. In either of these
proclamations of sinfulness, we acknowledge that sin
has both a personal and a social dimension. That is, all sin,
affects our relationship with God, with others, and with
ourselves. Sin is pervasive; but God’s mercy is more pervasive
and overwhelming. During the Penitential Act, we are invited to
recall our sins of the past week and pray for God’s mercy. In so
doing, we make ourselves better prepared and more receptive to
participate in the rest of the Eucharistic sacrifice.
For reflection: Do I truly enter into the Penitential spirit by
asking for God’s mercy for my sinfulness or has the
Penitential Act become merely a habitual prayer?
Do this
in memory of me.
