HONOR THE
PRECIOUS BLOOD
Saint Paul asks: “The blessing cup which we
bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of
Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:15-16)
June 28, 2015
WORSHIP AND SPIRITUALITY
Monday, June 29, Sts. Peter & Paul. Apostles

Tuesday, June 30, First Martyrs of Holy Roman Church
During the Last Supper, the evening before He died, Jesus
took the cup of wine and offered it. In the hands of Jesus
that cup was a cup of blessing, a cup of the new and everlasting covenant, the cup that unites us with God and with
one another as family.
Gn 19:15-29; Mt 8:3-27
At that super, Jesus took the cup of suffering he experienced in the Agony in the Garden and transformed it into a
cup of blessing. That’s the mystery of the Eucharist.
Thursday, July 2, Weekday in Ordinary Time
Henri Nouwen in his book “Can You Drink The Cup?”
writes: Jesus died for us so that we might live. He poured
out His Blood for us so that we may find new life. He gave
Himself away for us, so that we can live as his family. He
became for us food and drink so that we can be fed for
everlasting life.” And what a blessing that as and still is for
us.
That is what Jesus meant when He took the cup at the Last
Supper and said: “This is the new covenant in the blood
poured out for you.” (Luke 22:20)
This is what Jesus wants us to realize each time we approach the altar to drink from the Communion Cup. Amen! I
believe!
CARING FOR CREATION
Pope Francis is expected to release his much
anticipated encyclical on the environment at the
end of June. How will you and our Catholic
Community respond to this call to care for creation? At home try to reduce your electric and
water consumption and do recycle paper, plastic,
glass and metal. Come help at St. John by lending a hand at
weeding and picking up litter around the premises. Many hands
make light work. Bring your work gloves, a bucket and a friend to
help with just one little space where weeds have rapidly multiplied. Together we can make a big difference!

WHITING/ROBERTSDALE
CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
SEEKING PASTORAL COUNCIL NOMINEES
The Whiting-Robertsdale Catholic Community will be accepting
nominations for a cluster Pastoral Council to be elected in July.
Nomination forms will be available in the pews and can be completed and dropped in the collection baskets at the weekend
Masses in June. Nominations will close on June 28th. The form
below may be used as well. The objective is to have one Council
representing all four cluster parishes going forward.
The Pastoral Council is a representative body of the Parish community whose purpose is:
• To prayerful discern the needs of the cluster parishes;
• To serve as a consultative body to the Pastor;
• To formulate policies concerning parish matters consistent with
faith, morals, civil and church law, and diocesan policy;
• To establish clear and concise goals and objectives based on
the parish mission statement and the emerging needs of the parish community;
• To implement Diocesan policies and directives.
Per Diocesan guidelines, Pastoral Council members must be
practicing Roman Catholics, registered members of a cluster parish, not separated from the Sacraments, and be at least 18 years
of age.
The nominees cannot be full-time employees of the Parish or
school. Nominees will be contacted to verify their acceptance of
the nomination. Prospective members will be invited to a discernment session in July prior to elections.
Please prayerfully consider nominating yourself or someone you
know who is deserving to participate on the Council!

NOW I GO TO SLEEP
Pasar Ikan is a fish market in Sunda Kelapa harbor, north of Jakarta. In and around Pasar Ikan, you can find hundreds of shanty
houses on the bank of the harbor and its many canals. The Pasar
Ikan community lives in these small crowded houses. Most of the
adults make a living at the fish market selling fish, water or ice.
One day, I attended a funeral service at the nearby graveyard. In
the graveyard, there were tens of recently dug holes. It caught
my attention that the holes were dug very close to each other.
When the people lowered the coffin into the grave, they had to
watch their steps very carefully. Some looked so worried with
strained faces. I asked spontaneously, “Why are these holes dug
so close together?”
I heard one old woman reply softly, “We are poor people. We live
in small narrow houses and when we die it is the same.” Another
women commented, “The world is narrow, and so is the heaven.”
That comment struck me. Is that what God really promised to us?
I tried to reiterate what Jesus said: “Do not let your hearts be
troubled. You have faith in God, have faith also in me. In my
Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not,
would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come back again
and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may
be.” (John 14: 1-3)
These words emphasized what we have to know: Death is not an
isolation that cuts all relationships and togetherness between us
and Jesus Christ. Death is a journey. We are coming back to the
Father’s house, and there are many dwelling places that can accommodate all people.
