Christ the King—St. Anthony Parish Burlington May 10, 2020

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ: In the midst of difficult and trying times, I try to find hope and joy very ordinary situations. This past weekend I had an ordinary event which brought a smile to my face and a spirit of joyful expectation for the coming months. What was this event? My new pair of running shoes arrived at the rectory. If you are not a runner, you may not be able to relate to what I am about to share. I have been running since I was a freshman in high school, and a new pair of running shoes has always been something which lifted my spirits. Why? I think part of the joy comes from the anticipation of where the running shoes will take me. They will take me down well-worn running routes that I know like the back of my hands—routes that I run typically in the very early hours of the morning when all is quiet and still. This running time has always helped me stay centered on what is most important and allowed me to let go of the stress and worry that can creep into my life. The shoes have also led me to explore new and exciting places around Vermont (the Lake Morey loop), around the country (the beaches of the North Carolina, the mountains of Colorado) and around the world (the village roads of rural Ireland and Scotland). A new pair of running shoes reminds me of what can be rather than looking only at the challenges or struggles of today. Now, if you are not a runner, you may experience this same joyful expectation when a new book arrives to be read, a new recipe is going to be tried in the kitchen, or a new piece of equipment allows you to build something in the workshop. I guess what I am trying to say is that all of us need to have things in our lives that bring us this sense of hope and joyful expectation, especially when our present situation is anything but ideal. Now I would be remiss if I did not bring God into this reflection. I would say that, ultimately, what we need in our life in order to face the future with joy and hope is not a what, but a Who. God needs to be the true source of hope when facing a difficult present and uncertain future. It is God who guides us on the running path, in the kitchen, or in the workshop. And just as He has sustained us in the past in our challenging and difficult times, just as He sustains us in our present uncertainties, He will guide us into a future that we should not fear but anticipate with hopeful joy. As the prophet Jeremiah reminded the Israelites while they struggled in exile: For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope. When you call me, and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart. (Jer. 29:11-13). So, this week, let us seek the Lord and His hopeful plan for us with all of our hearts. Stay well and God bless, Msgr. John J. McDermott, VG

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most holy Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

THE BISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL Though the pandemic has put much of the day-to-day on hold for us, our parish and our diocese are still persevering. Please consider your gift to the Annual Appeal. Each gift received is used to strengthen and serve our 69 parishes, 13 schools, and 117,000 Catholics throughout Vermont. Visit bishopsappealvt.org. Watch the message from Bishop Coyne. Please prayerfully consider making a gift so the Catholic Church in Vermont remains financially stable. Read the Inland See page in the bulletin for more information.

LIVESTREAMED MASS While public Masses are suspended, Fr. Zuccaro will be celebrating the 11:00 AM Sunday Mass every week via Facebook livestream. Please visit our parish Facebook page every Sunday to watch. Spread the word! Tell your family and friends! Stay connected to your parish in spirit and prayer.

A FRIENDLY HELLO Our parish priests and generous volunteers are making phone calls to all our parishioners to check

in, see how you’re doing, pray with you, and hopefully put a smile on your face. We are thinking of you and praying for you, and we can’t wait to see you all at Mass again.

FIRST COMMUNION & CONFIRMATION For those students who were in 2nd grade this past school year and have been preparing for First Communion, the celebration has been postponed at this time. The Diocese is working on when to reschedule. For those students who took Confirmation classes this past year, the Diocese is looking to reschedule the Confirmation Mass for some time in the fall. If your child will start taking Confirmation classes at the beginning of the next school year, they will not be eligible for this fall’s Confirmation. They will be confirmed in the spring of 2021.
