"Blessed are your eyes, because they see"

...All those people wanted to see and did not see. They wanted to see, and they held on to their own will. Evil resides in the will... Our own will covers our interior eyes like a membrane or a film covers the exterior eye and prevents it from seeing... So long as you stay within your own will, you will be deprived of the joy of seeing with your interior eye. For all true happiness comes from real abandonment, from being detached from our own will. All that is born in the depth of humility... The more a person is small and humble, the less does he have his own will... John Tauler (c.1300-1361), Dominican at Strasbourg Sermon 53

Introducing a Great Day of Service

The interfaith organization Beyond Our Walls is gearing up for its 5th annual Great Day of Service which will take place on Columbus Day, Monday, October 12, 2009.

The day will provide an opportunity for people to come together to work side-by-side, assisting agencies and organizations in need of community service through a work project. Last year over 700 volunteers participated at more than 40 different work sites throughout Rhode Island. Projects ranged from apartment renovations at Crossroads RI in North Kingstown to park beautification in East Providence; from sandwich making for the homeless to cleaning up trash at beaches and parks; to creating care packages for service men and women stationed overseas and spending quality time with Veterans in Bristol; and MUCH, MUCH MORE: that’s what a Great Day of Service is all about.

Online registration will begin September 1, 2009.

Please visit www.greatdayofservice.com to learn more and get involved. Worksite information will be available online when registration opens on September 1st.

Everyone can participate – there’s an activity for all ages and abilities. Email greatday@greatdayofservice.com with questions. We look forward to seeing you on Monday October 12, 2009!

Beyond Our Walls is an interfaith organization that acts as a catalyst for change in the local community and beyond. We will connect to, support, and empower those in need and collaborate in finding solutions to local and global issues. We are committed to working together to learn from and about one another while respecting the beliefs of all, using our faith to guide us.

How to add an event to the calendar at www.StLukesParish.com/calendar.

First you need an account. Email ChuckAnastasia at Yahoo.com note: replace " at " with "@"
Get to the Calendar page from StLukesParish.com by clicking calendar in the left navigation menu.
Click the Login link near the bottom right corner of the calendar page.
Enter your user name and password. Unfortunately there is no self service password update. If you want me to change your password, send me an email with the new password.
After logging in you will see a calendar page with a +symbol on each date.To add an event, click the+ sign on the date you want. You can click the next month near the top of the pagetopostevents that take placebeyond the end of the current month. After clicking the + you will get a form, like the one below. Enter the Eventtitle and description, an email address for more information and event url if one exists. Please include the basic what, when, where information in the description, and if available, who to contact for more information.
You need to select an event category from the following list (church, community, school, general, religious ed) before you can submit the event. I usually enter them as church, community, or general, but the choice isn't important.
The only tricky thing is entering the time,because the calendar displays time in 24 hour format, 1:00 pm is 13:00, 7:00 pm is19:00 etc.I usually enter the time (with am or pm) in the title anddescription fields and leave the time fieldblank for afternoon events because I think it just confuses people. you can look at some existing events for examples. If there is more than one event on the same day, including the time field (in 24 hr format) willdisplay the events in chronological order.
If many events are booked on one day, the titles will automatically appearin a short list which expands when you clickit.
If you want to change an event that you entered, you can open the event by clicking on itthen you will get a choice toedit or delete it. If the same event occurs every day or every week you can enter a number of repeats and the frequencyand the same event will appear on each date.
After filling in the form, click "add event" to save it or "close" to exit without saving your event.

Wonder Trail Explanations

StLukesYM — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:26:40 CDT

The Palms on Palm Sunday

Palm branches have been used by all nations as an emblem of joy and victory over enemies; in Christianity as a sign of victory over the flesh and the world according to Psalm 91:13. The palms blessed on Palm Sunday were used in the procession of the day, then taken home by the faithful and used as a sacramental. They were preserved in prominent places in the house, in the barns, and in the fields, and thrown into the fire during storms.

The blessed palms we receive on Palm Sunday are later burnt and turned into the ashes we use on Ash Wednesday. In places where palms cannot be found, branches of olive, box elder, spruce or other trees are used. In Rome olive branches are distributed to the people, while the clergy carry palms frequently dried and twisted into various shapes.

Prayer: Lord, we thank for the Passion you endured and we will carry these palms with us as a reminder of what you did for us. On this Palm Sunday we prepare ourselves for Holy Week and look forward to your resurrection on Easter!

The Cross and Hot Cross Buns

No Christian symbol is more common or speaks more clearly than the cross. It preserves the fundamental belief of Christianity: Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead. It is, therefore, a sign of victory!

When the Roman Empire became Christian in the 4th century, the cross became public and very popular. Crosses took on different shapes throughout the centuries. It was also popular to decorate it with precious jewels to represent its great value.

Every year when Lent begins, a delicious spicy bun with raisins inside and a shiny brown top decorated with a cross of white icing appears again. The story goes that small spiced cakes marked with a white cross – what we know as Hot Cross Buns today – were distributed to the poor by monk in England on Good Friday in 1361, more than 600 years ago.

All sorts of ideas grew up about the magic powers of Hot Cross Buns. If you ate them on Good Friday, people said, your home would be safe from fire all year. People used Hot Cross Buns as charms against lightening and sailors took them to sea to keep their ships from being wrecked.

Prayer: Lord, let us never forget how you died on the cross to save us and open the gates of heaven for us. We will praise you always, and celebrate your glorious victory on Easter Sunday!

The Egg and the Chick

Early man stared in wonder at an egg. It looked like a stone. Then --- CRACK! Out of this lifeless, hard thing poked a tiny beak, a head, and the soft warm body of a living bird. It seemed a miracle – the miracle of new life. This is the meaning of the Egg and the Chick. . They are symbols of hope and resurrection. Just as Christ came forth from the tomb, so a chick at birth breaks through from its shell.

During the Middle Ages, winters in northern Europe were very hard. Little food was left by spring. During Lent, besides giving up meat, people also had to do without eggs as a way of stretching meager food supplies a little further. By Easter, a fresh hen, duck or goose egg was a precious thing indeed. Decorating eggs for Easter became an art. The eggs were blessed at church and given to friends and relatives.

There is a charming Ukrainian folk tale that tells how Mary, carrying in her apron a gift of fresh eggs, appeared before Pilate to plead for her Son's life. When she heard Pilate's refusal of mercy, she fell to her knees in anguish. Her gift of eggs, spilling from her apron, rolled across the palace floor and out to the remotest corners of the world, as heralds of the coming Resurrection, bidding men to live by Christ's teachings of peace and love. Mary's tears, which had fallen upon the eggs, formed brilliant dots of color and pattern, much like we see on today’s Easter Eggs.

Prayer: Jesus, we thank you for eggs and chickens and all the other wonderful foods that you have given us to nourish our bodies, and for the new life that you have given us to renew our spirits.

The Bunny

Almost anywhere that Easter is celebrated there is an Easter bunny. Children in different parts of the world often make pretty nests of leaves, moss or grasses for the Easter hare. Country children of Yugoslavia put their bunny nests in the stable, while in England they hide them in the garden or around the house. In the U.S., the Easter Bunny brings children Easter baskets filled with “nests” of Easter Eggs, chocolates and jelly beans and other surprises.

Everyone knows what large families rabbits have, and how fast the little bunnies grow up and have baby bunnies of their own, until there are more and more and more. In this way the Bunny is also a symbol of new life.

Prayer: Lord, what joy we find in a life where you are the center. You have given us bunnies, chicks and all the animals to take care of and enjoy. Teach us to be kind to all your creatures on the land, in the air and in the water.

Mustard Seed Communities Mission Trip

anastasia — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:08:20 CDT

The Barrington Times featured a story on March 8 2007 about the St. Luke's April 2007 Mission Trip to the Mustard Seed Community in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The Mission Trip was repeated in April 2008, and will run again in April 2009.
Fund-raisers are run to defray the cost of supplies and expenses of the Mission Trip to Jamaica. Your generosity will touch not only our group going to Jamaica but also the abandoned and handicapped children being helped during this visit. You are supporting what promises to be a life changing and life giving experience for our parish community as well as the children being served. Just a reminder, if you would like to learn more about Mustard Seed, the International Catholic Community that helps these children please visit www.mustardseed.com.
Please visit here often to find out updates about our Mission Trip. Also linked to this page will be the information for all fund-raisers.

If you have any questions or would like to help in any way please contact Michele Pimentel at pimentel_michele@hotmail.com

Thank you and God Bless.

H.O.M.E Mission Trip

anastasia — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:06:04 CDT

The 2009 St. Luke's H.O.M.E. Mission is scheduled for August 16 to 22. There will be a meeting for those interested in the lower level of the church on Sunday, May 31 at 12:30 PM. If you are interested and can't come to the 5/31 meeting please call Marilynn Renner 245-7337.

H.O.M.E (Homemakers Opportunity for Meaningful Employment). It was founded by a Carmelite Nun, Sr. Lucy Poulan, 35 years ago when the shoe industry supporting the area left and also left many people in poverty.

St. Luke’s has run annual trips to the H.O.M.E Mission in Orland Me starting in August 2007.
Our first HOME Mission team consisted of 12 high school boys and 16 adults. Our work varied from house building to cleaning the chapel,cleaning the day care center and everything in between. We picked the vegetable garden, sorted clothes, worked in the day care and provided many needed resources.

We renewed a bedroom in the men’s shelter by sanding the floor and painting the entire room. We made a difference. But most of all we had the opportunity to hear from Sr. Lucy, founder and president of H.O.M.E. Co Op, who so beautifully told the group how and why H.O.M.E exists. I think we were all touched by there goal of living the gospel message in their everyday life. We wish to thank all the hands and hearts who went with us.

The team is listed below so when you have a chance give them a thumbs up for a job well done. Chris Caisse, Mary Canha, James Casazza, Peter Donovan, Michael Gibalerio, Fr. Matt Glover, Kipp Hartmann, Donna Hartmann, Mark Hartmann, Zachary Hartmann, Fr. Bob Hawkins, Doug Johnston, Nick Lee, Yolande Martin, Mary Murphy, Brendan Neubauer, Bob Nichols, Diane Nichols, Bill Nugent, Peggy Passante, Marilynn Renner, Dave Renner, Daniel Robidoux, Patrick Robidoux, Jane Ryan, Rose Mary Silva, Rosie Wallis, Rick Westerholm.

Today it offers many programs to support the less privileged to include a shelter, food pantry, a farm, a soup kitchen, craft skill learning opportunities, day care and many other programs and facilities. Of particular interest to the many volunteers who come is building homes for those who qualify to own their own home.

For additional information call Dave Renner at 245-7337 or visit the H.O.M.E web site, www.homecoop.net
