When I lived at the now demolished Catholic Pastoral Center in New Ulm, I noticed that the shower in
my room suddenly was taking a very long time to heat up. I could turn the water on, say my Office of
Readings and Morning Prayer, shave, brush my teeth and make my bed and the
water was barely getting warm. I commented on this fact to Bishop Lucker
who explained to me that this couldn’t be true, since even though I was at the
end of a very long hot water line, there was a pump that circulated the water
constantly. No matter what I said he assured me that it was not happening, so I
dropped the subject. Two weeks later Bishop Lucker and I were having a
conversation at dinner and he told me that the maintenance man had noticed
that the hot water pump was broken, and that the water now had to come from
the sub-basement, up two floors and down a very long hallway to my room. He
didn’t seem to remember our earlier conversation, so I did not mention to him
that I had told him about the problem two weeks earlier, but I did think to
myself, “I know what I know.” Since I am completely incapable of fixing anything, I am accustomed to
people disbelieving me when I tell them that something is not working correctly, sounds funny or seems
to be malfunctioning. At the same time I often remind myself that I know what I know whether people
believe me or not.
In our reading from Ezequiel God warns the prophet that the people to whom he will speak will resist and
ignore him. They will not be willing to hear his words and they will discount what he has to say, but God
promises that they will know that God has spoken through him. The prophet knows the truth that he
speaks for God, and he will have to find his consolation and strength in his certainty of knowing that God
has sent him. Jesus’ words in his native place attract attention and interest, but soon objections arise to his
message of salvation. They are so closed to him that he is unable to bring his healing power to them. It is
important to notice, however, that he continues to proclaim the truth.
It can seem at times that the society we live in is not interested in the message our faith brings to the
world. In a society that is preoccupied with earthly wealth and material possessions our message of
generous giving and concern for the poor can sometimes sound a sour note. In a culture that exalts the
power of the human person our proclamation that God is the center of all things is ridiculed and ignored.
By the standard of a society that exalts and admires power and strength our proclamation our own
weakness strengthened by God’s power can seem ridiculous. In our experience of seeing the power of
hatred, disease, death and war paraded before us in the nightly news, our message of reconciliation,
forgiveness and God’s power over even death can be hard to accept.
We know that God has transformed our lives and that we are surrounded by his goodness and power.
Whether heard or not we proclaim what we know is the truth. We have a loving God who has saved us
through the life, death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ, and who has destined us for life. We do
not become discouraged or down-hearted when no one seems to be listening. We know what we know.

the wall for $54,000.00. Through last year’s Diocesan Ministry
Appeal, we expect to have raised $11,080.00. If you are interested in
helping us reach our goal of raising $42,920.00 for the completion of
this project, please talk to Fr. Tony or Shirley Nowak, our parish
business administrator. In the interim we will be working on the
permissions and paperwork necessary for the project. Together let us
strive to preserve our parish’s physical resources.

it will be better for all! Remember, many hands make light work!
The money accumulated in this project is used in several areas to
support our Church and School. Please come and help! Your
donation of merchandise, time and talent is needed!
We will also need people to help with the sale, as well as people who
are willing to donate food and water for workers, whenever
volunteers are here working during the sorting times as well as the

Area Faith Community News
NEW WEEKLY FEATURE: We are preparing for a new
Evangelization process in our Area Faith Community. We have been
planning this new process for almost a year. This program is called
Christ Life, and our hope is that it will be a way for all of us to renew
and invigorate our enthusiasm for the faith and sharing the faith with
others. As part of our preparation we will have a new feature in our
bulletin each week. We are calling it the “Evangelization Corner.”
Each week there will be a short article about Evangelization and
Christ Life in the bulletin. We encourage you to read it and to begin
to think about how you might participate in the Christ Life process.
AFC MISSION GROUP is collecting plastic jars of peanut butter
and jelly, children’s aspirin and cold medications to take to San
Lucas. These items can be dropped off at your church. We are also
accepting monetary donations which you may drop in the weekend
collection in a clearly marked envelope to be used to purchase the
above items and for the shipment of extra suitcases and medical
supplies. Each extra suitcase costs $45.00 to ship the medical
supplies. We are taking down over $300,000.00 worth of supplies.

EVANGELIZATION CORNER
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: Each week this box will feature
comments and reflections on the Church’s New
Evangelization…called forth from all the popes and now Pope
Francis! What is the New Evangelization? It is not a new gospel, nor
a new doctrine, nor new discipline or rules but rather, how to renew
ourselves so as to share the faith with God’s love, filled with the zeal
of the Gospel. Why do this? It’s because we, ourselves, will be
renewed and help others encounter Jesus Christ in a life-changing
way within the Church community!
