May 4 - 5

Our Lord’s words heard in today’s Gospel, “as the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love” is an intimate expression of friendship, showing that the relationship between Jesus and his followers changed dramatically. No longer are they servants or slaves, but friens. Nothing is to be hidden from each other. There is equality. An intimate relationship with God – or our spouses or our friends – requires that we realize that such a bond demands sharing with them our joys and disappointments, for God and the other person is important to our life experience. To have this relationship demands communication. We cannot know God if we do not spend time in prayer, just as we cannot know our spouse or our friends if we do not speak to them. Strong intimate relationships do not happen in just five minutes, but over time. We must remember that for any relationship to flourish and grow, we must be open to change and growth for and with the one whom we are intimate. If we are intimate with Jesus, we will be able to change to his way, truth and life.
What might need changing or improving in you in order to allow the Lord a complete and unrestricted entrance into your life? Are you willing to change?

Blessings! Fr. Joe Bacevice

OFFICE OF CATECHETICAL SERVICES

Each year in the Diocese of Cleveland, a special offering is taken up in all the parishes to support the ministries of the Office of Catechetical Services. This Diocesan Secretariat focuses on providing guidance and support that promotes the evangelizing mission of the Church through the catechetical efforts of all parishes and Newman Campus ministries in the Diocese. Ministries, which will benefit from this collection include: faith formation for adults, teens and children, and family-based faith formation, as well as the ongoing formation of Parish Catechetical Leaders and catechists as missionary disciples. Newman Catholic Campus Ministries provides opportunities for students to deepen a relationship with Christ through prayer and worship, community, faith and Bible studies, retreats and service. Next weekend we will be accepting offerings for the Office of Catechetical Services. A contribution to this office is an investment in the faith formation of people of all ages throughout the Diocese of Cleveland. Please be generous.

MEMORIAL DAY

Monday, May 27^TH is Memorial Day. This is the day that we honor our war dead. Again this year, our Memorial Day remem-brance will begin with flag raising and ceremony honoring our dead in our front parking lot at 8:30 am followed by Mass in the church. After the Mass, everyone is invited to breakfast at the Lithuanian club.
