Page 2 Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion Only Mark’s Passion Narrative begins with the account of a woman who performs an extravagant act: “While he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head.” This gesture - wasting something as expensive as an entire jar of perfume - is scoffed by the bystanders, who complain that, at the very least, the nard could have been sold and the money given to the poor. But Jesus is having none of it: “Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for me.” Fr. Robert Barron asks, “Why does Mark use this tale to preface his telling of the passion? Why does he allow the odor of this woman’s perfume to waft, as it were, over the whole of the story?” “It is because, I believe, this extravagant gesture shows the meaning of what Jesus is about to do: the absolutely radical giving away of self. There is nothing calculating, careful, or conservative about the woman’s action; she offers everything, breaking open the jar as a symbol of the breaking open of her heart in love. Giving voice to the austere rationalism of the Enlightenment, Immanuel Kant spoke of “religion within the limits of reason alone”; but as Paul Tillich commented, authentic religion, ultimate concern, can never be hemmed in by reason alone. Flowing from the deepest place in the heart, religion resists the strictures set for it by a fussily moralizing reason (on full display in those who complain about the woman’s extravagance). At the climax of his life, Jesus will give himself away totally, lavishly, unreasonably — and this is why the woman’s beautiful gesture is a sort of overture to the opera that will follow.” (Robert Barron, Letting the Life OUT.”) According to Mark, Jesus prayed the beginning of Psalm 22 at the ninth hour (that is, about three in the afternoon) in a loud voice: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders misunderstood this prayer as a call for Elijah. It was probably already the case at that time that Elijah was seen as an aid at the hour of death. Because Jesus cried out the beginning of Psalm 22 in Aramaic ("Eloi, eloi") there must have been some kind of twisting of his cry; the mockery of Jesus continues. save the date Michigan Blood Drive at Christ the Redeemer, Saturday, May 16 7:30 am-1:30 pm in the Bethany Room Watch the bulletin for details. grief support workshop April 23, 30, May 7, 14 & 21 7:00-9:00 pm Registration: $15 before April 16, after $20. Grieving with Great HOPE is a five week grief support series that offers a prayerful, practical and personal approach for anyone who is mourning the loss of a loved one. If you have lost a spouse, a child (including pregnancy loss), a grandchild, parent, another family member or a friend, you are encouraged to attend. Presenters will be Fr. Joe Dailey, Fr. Mike Verschaeve as well as John and Sandy O’Shaughnessy from Good Mourning Ministry, a local Catholic bereavement organization. This is a joint effort with our parish, St. Joseph Parish and with assistance from Modetz Funeral Home. This year, the sessions will be held here at CTR. See flyer in the vestibule for registration details. Mark's gospel records these as Jesus's only words, but in all probability Jesus did not merely pray the beginning of Psalm 22. Reciting the first words would have indicated the same thing as a Christian today starting to pray, "Our Father ... " “He must have spoken parts of the whole psalm as his dying prayer, as far as his fading strength allowed, or stuttered it out in bits. At any rate, the opinion of some authors that the cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" represents ultimate and final despair is contradictory to the practice of Old Testament prayer. It is not only that Psalm 22 is shot through with cries of trust ("since my mother bore me you have been my God," v. 10), not merely that the end of the psalm speaks of the banquet of the nations in the reign of God (vv. 27-29); the beginning of the psalm is itself not a cry of despair, but a lament, and in the Psalms that is something completely different from despair. Psalm 22 contains both: that God is silent and yet replies, the horrible hiddenness of God and the showing of God's face (v. 24), the ultimate loneliness of the one praying and the new gift of community.” (Gerhard Lohfink Jesus of Nazareth, p.283-84) Fr. Joe committee members needed Our parish gives away 10% of the Sunday collection to the poor. The Tithing Committee allocates these funds monthly to local and global agencies. Guidelines are provided. We are looking for a few members to join the committee for a 3 year term making a total of 9 members on the committee. Members are asked to attend meetings that are held the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm. If you are interested, please call Karen/Lisa in the parish office. Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion Fermenting Faith? Join us on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month beginning again on April 16 at 7:00 pm for a little wine, cheese and casual yet deep theological discussion! All are welcome. Free childcare happily provided upon request. NO RSVP necessary! Our next topic: 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 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. ELEMENTARY SUMMER FAITH FORMATION DATES ARE ANOUNCED! Did you know we offer a GREAT 8-day Summer Program for grades 1st – 5th that meets the Archdiocesan requirements for a FULL YEAR of Faith Formation? The kids love it. They have full reign of the building for two weeks (Mon – Thurs) and they leave feeling like they really ‘own the joint!’ Our church takes on a richer feeling of “home” and the time spent feels like “camp” with all the bonding and fun, but our curriculum is quite substantial, challenging and engaging. Participating in our summer program can allow for more family time during the busy school year. Do consider registering at one of our upcoming orientations: April 28 and May 13, 7:00 pm. Summer Faith Formation (SFF) dates for children entering Grades 1-5; July 13-16 & 20-23 (Monday Thursday) from 9am – 12 noon OR August 3-6 & 10-13 (Monday Thursday) from 9am – 12 noon Page 3 Crazy Catholic Question #29 Self-sacrifice? ! I remember once quoting Sesame Street to my threeyear old saying “It’s fun to share!” and her quite confidently replying “No it’s not Momma” and looking at me like, “What world are YOU living in?” Self-sacrifice is not our natural state. The desire to be “on top” comes with the territory of being alive. St. Thomas Aquinas said that everything living wants to survive and expand in being. In plants and animals this drive stays on the biological level. But in humans it becomes more complex. Not only do we want to physically survive, we want to be important and esteemed, and sometimes we will hit some rather disgraceful lows in our pursuit of recognition and success in the world’s eyes. None of us are strangers to self-interest. But, it doesn’t satisfy in the end, as this anonymous little piece says: "How To Be Miserable." "Think about yourself. Talk about yourself. Use "I" as often as possible. Listen greedily to what people say about you. Expect to be appreciated. Be suspicious. Be jealous and envious. Be sensitive to slights. Never forgive a criticism. Trust nobody but yourself. Insist on consideration and respect. Demand agreement with your own views on everything. Do as little as possible for others." Sure we have our good days, but no matter how old and wise we get, we still have our bad days too when we succumb to our “bottom-of-the-barrel” selves…. I love the quote from Anne Lamott who said: “I’ve thought such evil, awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish.” And yet, at the same time, we immediately recognize goodness. We are moved by stories of great sacrifice and selflessness. When an individual makes a choice to give of themselves for the greater good, we hear in that story God calling us to something deeper and truer…. something is awakened in us…. For example, the story of the young boy who had the perfect blood-match to save his older sister from a fatal form of leukemia. So the doctors and his parents came to him and asked “Will you give your sister your blood?” And the boy thought about it for a few minutes and then said “Yes, I will… for my sister.” So when the day came they put the needle in the child’s arm and started the transfusion, and as he watched his blood go out of him and into his sister he asked the doctor “So, when do I die?” Self-preservation may be our default setting, but something wonderful in us recognizes the beauty in stories such as this in which people set aside their drive for self-interest to carry out amazing acts of love. This is the humanity that we witness in Jesus this Palm Sunday. Jesus is always calling us to this higher self…our best self. Jesus is God’s way of communicating to us what being human can look like…is designed to look like. St. Thomas Aquinas says “the mission of Jesus from the Father is NOT the mission to be crucified; what the Father wished is that Jesus should be human.” Jesus’ life was so tragic because of what being a loving, compassionate human person in our world sometimes costs. All our little sacrifices, our little deaths to our self-centered selves are not a loss but a key part of our growth and transition into abundant life: our own death and resurrection. Henri Nouwen said “Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life...all of our life.” Send your "Crazy Catholic Questions" to [email protected] or read past columns at: http://crazycatholicquestions.blogspot.com Page 4 Christ the Redeemer, Lake Orion Spring Break Mission 2015 Mark 14.1-15:47 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. We leave CTR at about 8:30 am and return each evening by 5:30 pm. 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. Contact Lisa Andridge for more information. This week we celebrate Palm Sunday, the final Sunday of Lent before Holy Week begins. It is the remembrance of Jesus’ “triumphal entry” into Jerusalem. About 450-500 years before Jesus crucifixion, the Prophet Zechariah prophesied Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey and people placed palm fronds in his path and praised him saying, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!” Close your eyes for a moment and try really hard to envision this scene. Jesus is entering Jerusalem a hero. The people worship him and praise his name. Just imagine the crowds bustling and yelling. Feel the heat of the sun on your face as the all try to get a glimpse of the King. Then, try to imagine, just a few days later as Jesus is tried, crucified and sentenced to death. It must be the quickest change of atmosphere in all of history. The same crowds that were crying out “Hosanna!” were soon crying out, “Crucify Him!” This year as you watch the Passion Drama unfold, try to put yourself into the story. Imagine the role you would play and then let yourself feel the drama. It is both a beautiful and tragic story. In another week we will celebrate the Resurrection of our LORD. Don’t let yourself forget all that Jesus did to save us from our sins. We need to remember the tragedy in order to appreciate the love and the life he gave to us. Upcoming Events Tuesday, April 7 – Spring Break/No Coffee House gathering Wednesday, April 8 – Friday, April 10 – Spring Break Mission Saturday, May 16 – Project Peace by Piece Saturday, May 30 – Graduation Mass and Dinner Monday, July 6 – Friday, July 10 – Summer Mission 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 final session in this Lenten journey will be Tuesday, March 31. What are you chasing?

Gospel of life “As the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you should hear his voice, harden not your hearts as when they provoked me, as in the day of trial in the wilderness.” (Hebrews 3:7 -8) March 25, 2015 marked the 20th Anniversary of the publication of Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life) by St. John Paul II in 1995. In his encyclical, St. John Paul II took the principle of the sanctity of life and focused on each human person as an individual, unique expression of God. Unfortunately, many Catholics have never accepted this Pope’s message or have tuned it out. In 2013, newly elected Pope Francis published his first encyclical: The Joy of the Gospel. Pope Francis presented his plans for “a new phase of evangelization” for service to the poor. Overlooked by many were Pope Francis’ statements from Section 213 that “Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenseless and innocent among us.” He continued: “Defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other right. It involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development.” Let us hope that twenty years from now that Pope Francis’s message isn’t forgotten.
