Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples of Jesus Christ
OUR LADY OF THE LAKE CATHOLIC CHURCHThe Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
shamelessly given over to morbid curiosity. The Church must look more closely and sympathetically at others whenever necessary. In our world, ordained ministers and other pastoral workers can make present the fragrance of Christ’s closeness and his per-sonal gaze. The Church will have to initiate everyone – priests, reli-gious and laity – into this “art of accompaniment” which teaches us to remove our sandals before the sacred ground of the other” (EG 169). There have been countless moments where this has been true in the past year for which I am grateful.
As I begin my new mission as pastor of St. John the Baptist in Milwaukie, I want to encourage you to practice this “art of accompaniment” here at OLL. The mis-sion statement of OLL is “Love God. Love Others. Make Disciples.” We can re-alize this mission through the art of accompaniment because “genuine spiritual accompaniment always begins and flourishes in the context of service to the mis-sion of evangelization (EG 171). You don’t need a master’s degree in theology to accompany. You just need to be courageous and take that first step outside your comfort zone and get involved. To paraphrase Pope Francis, if every parishio-ner here takes that first step of accompaniment, this will be a truly evangelizing
community. Hence, “an evangelizing com-munity gets involved by word and deed in people’s daily lives; it bridges distances, it is willing to abase itself if necessary, and it embraces human life, touching the suf-fering flesh of Christ in others” (EG 24). So, take that first step, you have nothing to lose. Until we meet again!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. John Marshall
Moving from one parish to another is quite possibly one of the least favorite things for us priests. Besides the physi-cal exertion of moving from one place to another, saying farewell to the peo-ple of the parish and the familiarity of the place make such moves extremely more difficult. However, below the surface of these feelings, there is ex-citement for the new assignment and the opportunity to share the mission with new places and people. I am ex-periencing these emotions and others as I begin my last few weeks with you here at OLL.
I want to express my sincerest grati-tude to Fr. Kerns, the OLL parish and school staff, and to all of you for the honor to accompany you this year. This accompaniment has enriched my priestly ministry. I intentionally use this word “accompaniment” since ac-companiment was the subject matter of my thesis that I completed during my time with you here at OLL. Look-ing back this past year, accompaniment perfectly sums up this year at OLL. In his apostolic exhortation on the New Evangelization, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), which was the primary source of my research, Pope Francis writes, “In a culture paradoxically suffering from anonym-ity and at the same time obsessed with the details of other people’s lives,

We celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ this weekend. Traditionally known as “Cor-pus Christi” Sunday (translation: “Body of Christ”) we call attention to this most central belief of our Catholic faith: that Jesus Christ is fully present in the Holy Eucharist. As St. Paul reminds us:
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until
he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:26)
We believe that Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is truly present in the bread (host) and wine (chalice) transubstantiated through the action of the priest as we are gathered in community the name of the Lord. We are invited through our baptism and proper disposition to the sacrament, to eat and drink of Christ’s presence – what an awesome mystery – and responsibility. How will we respond?
Reverence in ProcessionWe can immediately respond to the Real Presence of our Lord by reverently processing and receiving Holy Communion. We show reverence in how we extend our hands (or our tongue) to receive this amazing and life-changing gift. Are we focused or distracted? Do we honor the moment of receiving Our Lord by giving our full attention? A simple bow right before we receive reminds us of the precious and powerful gift we are given.
Linger and PrayOn the night before he died, Jesus took the disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane and asked them to pray. Christ asks the same of us as we accept the gift of Holy Communion – stay and linger in my presence. Pray with me. Know that I am with you in all that is going on in your life. We can do that by singing, by silence, and by our very presence. Sadly, our contemporary culture has allowed us to accept that it is okay to “eat and exit” after receiving Holy Communion. What is more important than Jesus who invites us to “stay and pray” with Him?
Respond in ServiceThe best way we can show reverence is by becoming the Body of Christ for others in Christian service. Is the Holy Spirit inviting you to become an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion to assist others in receiving Our Lord; as an Usher-Greeter to extend hospitality to our parishioners and visitors; as a Lector to proclaim God’s Word; as an Altar Server to assist the priest at Mass; by joining one of our Mercy Teams to feed the hungry or assist those in need?
I Am the Bread of Life To help us reflect on this wonderful mystery of Holy Communion, we offer a new song by Steve Angrisano and Tom Booth found in our Breaking Bread hymnals that we will sing at all Masses this weekend:
Verse 1:
I am the Bread of Life,I am the hope in night,I am the door wide open,I am the shepherd’s might,I am the truth and light,I am the way and life,I Am Who Am and I am for you:Come and follow me.
Verse 2:
I am bread for the world,hope for the hopeless.Come to me, and know that I’ll always be therewith my arms open wide.I Am Who Am and I am for you:Come and follow me.
Bridge:
I give my heart to those in sorrow,I come to those who are in need;hope for today and for tomorrow,light for all who want to see.

OLL School: ScienceMay 30 was the annual middle school science fair. Projects covered a range of topics including microbiology, animal behavior, genetics, kinematics, chemistry, psychology, fluid dynamics and electromagnetism It is always fun helping students find an area of science to investigate, and to see them in action as they try to design experi-ments and educate themselves about related scientific concepts.
The science fair provides several unique opportunities and challenges for our students. The format of their report and the evening poster presentation sessions give students their first taste of what it is like to participate in scientific conferences to share and discuss their find. The science fair encourages students to engage more deeply with all aspects of academic work: conceiving and planning long-term projects, applying scientific meth-ods, technical writing in the passive voice, use of spreadsheets to organize numbers, application of mathemati-
cal concepts like statistics and algebraic equations, graphic design, and many others.
These unique projects are a great experience for our students as they provide a chance for them to learn to apply and integrate the various academic subjects they study here at school, while creating something truly excellent related to their own personal interests. We have some great young scientists here at OLL School - keep an eye out for next year’s science fair to see what they cook up!
