A THOUGHT TO PONDER...
PASTORAL message
Dear Friends,
Jesus’ last words to his friends summarize his whole life:
“Love one another.” It really is all about love — love for the
God he calls “Father,” love that is freely given, love that is
willing to give all for others. It’s no wonder that the young
church felt compelled to share this with those who were
different, like the gentiles. Jesus came to teach us that God
shows no partiality. It is we who create barriers and
borders. And it is we who are called to extend ourselves
beyond our self-created boundaries. This is the great
command.
Fr. Dan
With sincere appreciation
Thank you to the volunteers who cleaned the
interior of St. John’s Church.
Happy Spring!

Our catholic faith
What are Rogations Days?
(The three days before Ascension Thursday)
The primary purpose of the Rogation Days is to ask God to bless
the fields and the parish that they fall in.
The rogations Days were marked by the recitation of the Litany of
the Saints, which would normally begin in or at a church. After
Saint Mary was invoked, the congregation would proceed to walk
the boundaries of the parish, while reciting the rest of the litany
(and repeating it as necessary or supplementing it with some of
the penitential or gradual Psalms). Thus the entire parish would be
blessed. Like the Ember days, rogation Days were removed from
the liturgical calendar when it was revised in 1969, coinciding with
the introduction of the Mass of Paul VI. Parishes can still
celebrate them, and, in portions of Europe, the Major Rogation is
still celebrated with a procession. As the Western world has
become more industrialized, Rogation Days and Ember Days,
focused as they are on agriculture and the changes of the
seasons, have seemed less “relevant.” Still, they are good ways
to keep us in touch with nature and to remind us that the Church’s
liturgical calendar is tied to the changing seasons. You can mark
the days by reciting the Litany of the Saints, and attend daily Mass
Friday, May 15, 7:00pm—8:30pm at St. John Church.
Our 3rd presenter in the series on Consecrated Life will be
Janet LeBlanc, a consecrated virgin who lives in our parish.
Join us for prayer, praise, song, Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament and the opportunity for confession.
