Page 2 Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion The arrival of some Greeks who wish to see Jesus signals the collapse of a barrier that separated Jew and Greek. This was the hour Jesus had been waiting for; the ‘Hour” in the Gospel of John is the cross. This is a transformational moment and thus it is not static: it’s not the grain of wheat, but the grain of wheat that falls into the earth and dies. Without this dynamic movement, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (John 12:20-24) This is a threshold moment, like crossing a bridge. A bridge can separate or unite. John O’Donohue explains, “The word threshold was related to the word thresh, which was the separation of the grain from the husk or straw when oats were flailed. It also includes the notions of entrance, crossing, border, and beginning. To cross a threshold is to leave behind the husk and arrive at the grain." In an interview with Krista Tippett, O’Donohue elaborated on this image, “The threshold, in a way, is a place where you move into more critical and challenging and worthy fullness. And I think there are huge thresholds in every life. I'd like to give a very simple example of it: you are in the middle of your life in a busy evening, 50 things to do and you get a phone call that somebody you love is suddenly dying. It takes 10 seconds to communicate that information, but when you put the phone down, you are already standing in a different world. Because suddenly everything that seems so important before is all gone and now you are thinking of this. So the given world that we think is there and the solid ground we are on is so tentative. And I think a threshold is a line which separates two territories of spirit, and I think that very often how we cross is the key thing.” On Friday we crossed the “threshold” into Spring. We are on the cusp of Holy Week, and the celebration of Easter– reminding ourselves of the spiritual elements of suffering, death, and resurrection. John O’Donohue summarizes it well: “Like spring secretly at work within the heart of winter, below the surface of our lives huge changes are in fermentation. We never suspect a thing. Then when the grip of some long-enduring winter mentality begins to loosen, we find ourselves vulnerable to a flourish of possibility and we are suddenly negotiating the challenge of a threshold.” “At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it? A threshold is not a simple boundary; it is a frontier that divides two different territories, rhythms, and atmospheres. Indeed, it is a lovely testimony to the fullness and integrity of an experience or a stage of life that it intensifies toward the end into a real frontier that cannot be crossed without the heart being passionately engaged and woken up. At this threshold a great complexity of emotion comes alive: confusion, fear, excitement, sadness, hope. This is one of the reasons such vital crossings were always clothed in ritual. It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge the key thresholds; to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross.” O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us, p. 48. Fr. Joe Please return your filled Easter Baskets, wrapped in cellophane, by Sunday, March 29.

Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion Page 3 Crazy Catholic Question #28 Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development in short: Stage 1: I do it so I don't get in trouble, Stage 2: I do it so I get something out of it Stage 3: I do it so you like me, Stage 4: I do it because it is the law, and I respect the law Stage 5: I do it because of a social contract we have with each other, Stage 6: I do it because it is the right thing to do. If you feel your child is ready to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (traditionally in 4th grade here at CTR), please register for one of our two upcoming workshops on March 23 or 24 at 7pm by emailing [email protected] or call the office. Incidentally, surveys show that 42% of Catholic adults, when asked how often they went to confession, answered “Never.” Without a doubt, if we parents don’t “get” this Sacrament, it is rather certain our children won’t either. So, maybe this Lent we can be intentional about taking a fresh look at this great gift from our church….for ourselves and for our kiddos! !These GREAT videos listed below are a terrific start – and only 11 minutes in total! Sacraments 101: Penance (why we confess) (Overview) Confession 101 - What is it & how to do it - part two (A step-bystep of what we “do”) When is my child ready for the Sacrament of Reconciliation? A quick story: My daughter Lauren was in fourth grade at the time and her sister Audrey in second. One day I picked them up from school and Lauren was enjoying a yummy candy bar. Audrey asked “Where did you get that?” Lauren replied “From Joel.” Now, Joel happened to be Audrey’s best friend at the time (the plot thickens). So Audrey, understandably, was very confused. She asked Lauren with the deep pain of being jilted in her voice “So, Joel gave YOU a candy bar but didn’t send one for me? Why would he do that?” Lauren just shrugged her shoulders and continued to enjoy her candy. Audrey was just devastated. Feeling snubbed, the big crocodile tears started to roll and Audrey cried “I just don’t understand Momma, why would Joel give Lauren candy and not me? Do you think he isn’t my best friend anymore?” I tried to comfort Audrey “Oh honey, I’m sure you are still Joel’s best friend, maybe he only had one piece of candy…etc, etc.” Eventually we were driving in silence; I not knowing how to comfort Audrey any further as she continued to whimper in confusion and Lauren being unusually quiet. As we pulled into the driveway, all of a sudden Lauren blurted out “Mom, I need to tell you something! Joel actually gave me two pieces of candy, one for me and one for Audrey….but I ate them both.” Audrey’s face first registered relief that Joel hadn’t forgotten her and then I had to diffuse the rightful tirade of anger and indignation she wielded at her sister. After the dust settled and apologies were made, Audrey left in a huff to go into the house and Lauren and I stayed in the car to chat about what she thought her punishment for this selfish act should be. Her response was classic. “Mom, I don’t care how you punish me…I’m just glad I told you because I was soooo sweating!!!” It was at that moment I knew Lauren was ready for the Sacrament of Reconciliation! Our Catholic guidelines recommend that children should begin preparation at the “age of discretion” (usually ages 7-9) when they can determine right from wrong to the best of their ability with the right intentions. Parents are the best judges for when the time is right (and, of course, are the primary Catechists of what is morally right and wrong). ! There is a helpful study by Harvard Professor Lawrence Kohlberg that identifies 6 stages of moral development. Opinions vary, but many think our Catholic “age of discretion” lands around stage 4 and hopefully will continue to grow with the guidance of all of us – the faithful, the Church - into Stage 6. Though, there are still adults stalled in stage 1 and some kids who have already arrived at stage 6, so everyone is different.

We will be back after Easter on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays beginning April 16 at 7:00 pm! Our next topic will be, The Doctrine of Grace, a concept that Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants agree is of great importance. It is also a concept that is the source of tremendous disagreement between Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants. Its theological development by theologians has led to the creation of certain famous aspects of Christianity such as original sin and predestination. Learn about the theological concept of grace and it is a vital component in the Christian understanding of salvation. Page 4 Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion John 12:20-33 Lent in Youth Ministry I would love to invite all teens in grades 9-12 to join us Tuesdays from 7-9 pm during Lent for a special series called, “Chase”. We will be taking a closer look at some of the “things” we’re chasing in our busy lives. It’s so easy to become distracted and derailed from our faith journey by events and objects that seem to be value added but that actually take us away from our relationship with Christ. David was a man who chased after the heart of God. Join us as we look at his life and how, despite his short comings, God was able to use him in remarkable ways. Our last Lenten session is scheduled for March 24. What are you chasing? Spring Break Mission 2015 Are you a student in grades 9-12 looking for something new to do on Spring Break? Join us as we journey to the Old Redford district in Detroit and work with the Motor City Blight Busters Wednesday April 8-Friday, April 10. We begin each morning at CTR with a light breakfast and prayer before we carpool down to Lahser and Grand River. We never know exactly what our tasks will be when we arrive, but it’s always interesting. We may be doing anything from clearing up parks of illegal dumping, cleaning empty lots, or taking down burned and abandoned homes. If you like to meet new and interesting people, swing a sledge hammer and help others, then this is the experience for you. We have scheduled an informational/ training meeting for Thursday, March 26 from 7-8 pm in Bethany. We leave CTR at about 8:30 am and return each evening by 5:30 pm. Contact Lisa Andridge for more information. In this week’s Gospel message, Jesus is telling of his own death. From the time we are small, a classic method to illustrate Christ’s death and resurrection is the planting of seeds. As children in school, most of us have been given a small paper cup, a couple scoops of dirt and a seed. We are told that when we plant a seed, it must first “die” before it can bring forth new life. Maybe it goes back to the fact that I tend to kill every plant I’ve ever had, but I’ve never quite understood this analogy. I think it’s because I can’t quite grasp the need for the seed to “die”. If it dies, it can’t possibly form the basis for new life, right? I came across a story that better helped me to understand this comparison. “Forest fires swept through nearly half of Yellowstone National Park’s 2.2 million acres in the summer of 1988. At first, it seemed life in the park could never be the same. The fire seemed like a total disaster. But it wasn’t. Foresters pointed out that lodge pole pine trees had cones on them that would only open under intense heat – almost as though they were designed to respond to a forest fire. Yellowstone’s dry climate kept dead wood from decaying quickly, so the ashes from the fire provided nutrients to the ground that could actually mean better growth for years to come. No one at Yellowstone looks forward to forest fires. But it is known that fires, however devastating they seem, don’t mean the end of things. They bring about new beginnings.” Jesus is like the cones from the lodge pole pine trees. Just as they seem to be destined to respond to a forest fire and bring new life, Jesus reminds us that it is in his death that God will be glorified and new life can begin. Jesus tells us that, “It is for this reason that I have come to this hour.” (John 12:27b) If Jesus had not been willing to die as the Father planned, we would not have life. Any time we put another’s needs before our own, we are following Christ’s example. Sometimes it takes heat and pressure, like in the forest fire, to bring us to the point where we are able to blossom. Don’t be afraid to face the challenges in life. It’s often during these trying times that God is helping us to grow into something even better.

When you donate on Good Friday, you are supporting Christians in the Holy Land. The Good Friday collection is requested by the Holy Father. Please be as generous as your abundance allows. To donate, pick up a book mark found in the vestibule or go to MyFranciscan.org Gospel of life “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” (Luke 1:31) Lent's austerity is interrupted on March 25, as we keep a feast in honor of the Annunciation. The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord recalls when the angel Gabriel visits the Virgin Mary. Mary has heard the angel Gabriel's explanation of the mystery; the will of God is made known to her. Mary, the humble maid of Nazareth, is to have the happiness of becoming the mother of Jesus, the son of God. Through the marvel of Mary, God shouts to us to wake up to the marvelous creatures that we all are by His design. The Annunciation is the beginning of Jesus in His human nature. Through His mother, He is a member of the human race. Exactly nine months before Christmas, the date signals the start of God's plan of salvation. This feast day is very important in the defense of the life of unborn children. For those with small children, this is a good time to begin teaching about the value God places on human life. He loved us so much that he became one of us, and became an innocent, completely dependent infant. Page 7 Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion Keep informed on parish events via a weekly email.
