5th Sunday of Easter
Heartbreak always presuppose love. Others can stir our resentment, kindle our wrath, cause inconvenience, bring
disappointment; but the only person who can break our heart is the person we love. All of which says that love is indeed a risky
business. It makes us vulnerable. And God has chosen to take that kind of a gamble with you and me.
To be estranged from, lonely for, out of fellowship with the one you love, that is a basic element of sorrow. You don’t go far
in sacred scripture until you run into that – the loneliness of God. The book of Genesis paints an unforgettable picture – God walking
in the garden in the cool of the day, searching and calling, “Where are you, Adam?” It is the kind of loneliness that all parents must
feel in some measure. They watch their children go away from home, set their affections and find their satisfaction in other places and
other people.
Even in the normal development of life – the dictates of the calendar, the calling of the college campus – it is hard enough to
lose your boy or girl. When there is the added element of willful estrangement, few sorrows can compare with this. To bring a child
to life, to dream for him or her the best and then see him or her choose the worst, to crave his or her companionship and get
indifference, to long for his or her affection and get ingratitude – that has to hurt.
That is the grief in the heart of God – that His children so often find their interests and lay their plans outside His love and
will. You can read about it throughout the scriptures, Isaiah, the prophet, heard God say, “the children I raised and cared for so long
and tenderly have turned against me. Even the animals – the donkey and the ox – know their owner and appreciate his provisions, but
not my people, Israel. No matter what I do for them, they still don’t care.” Hosea, the prophet, echoes the sentiment, “When Israel
was a child I loved him. I taught him to walk. I held him in my arms, but he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who raised him.”
That hurts!
This is the grief of God – that we humans seek life’s satisfactions, center our affections, look for our fulfillment outside His
loving will, and have no fellowship with Him who is our God and our Father.
So then how do you think God feels as He views the tangled humans situation today? How does He feel when He hears the
thunder of guns as human beings hurt and kill each other? How does He feel as He sees His beautiful world defaced by strife and war
and terrorism and grief and lust? He feels what any good parent would feel who sees his or her children using each other and abusing
their birthright – He feels grief.
Sometimes we wonder why God doesn’t do something about it all. Why doesn’t He stop wars and terrorism? Why doesn’t
He break in and crush the schemes of wicked men? Why doesn’t He come in power and do something about human tragedy?
Well, the great heart of the gospels is that God has not made us robots. He has made us persons, free to choose the good and
therefore, free to choose the bad. But God does not stand apart or aloof from it all. In the person of His Son, Jesus, He had involved
Himself in all our human experiences.
Jesus tells us, “There is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents.” This simply means that all of us human beings have it in
our power today to turn the grief of God into gladness. It is done by turning our lives over to Him. What a difference it will make in
our lives!
So let us announce to all those around us: “Return to God today!!”

Please help support our youth of the parish and
donate your used and outgrown sports equipment!
CARDINALS APPEAL DONATION FORM
Name:_______________________________________
Our community is lucky enough to have a wide variety of
sports teams available to kids. No matter what the sport is,
some form of equipment is required. Kids grow but their
equipment doesn’t grow with them, so the
Youth Group of Annunciation-Our Lady of Fatima Church is
asking for used and outgrown sports
equipment donations. There will be a designated box located in
the back of the church this weekend for the collection. The
donations will go towards a Used Equipment Sale Fundraiser to
be held in late Spring. (Date to be determined) The monies
raised will go toward faith formation youth events and trips.
The teenagers of the youth group believe this is an awesome
opportunity to get sports equipment at bargain prices! Your
support is greatly appreciated!!! Questions? Contact:
