Questions to ponder this week: Why would Jesus tell you to “Love your enemies?” Who lives like that? Did Jesus show us a new revolutionary kind of acting when he showed us how to love our enemies? How far was he willing to go for them with his radical self-emptying? How far was the Father willing to go for his children?

A Message
from
Fr. Tony
Herold
The story is told that when the painter Leonardo Da Vinci was painting The Last Supper, he had an intense and bitter argument with a fellow painter. Da Vinci began to think of a way to get back at this guy. He came up with a devious plan. He decided to paint the face of his enemy as the face of Judas Iscariot so it would be captured for all time, and that is exactly what he did. When people came to look at his work, while it was still in pro-gress, they immediately knew who "Judas" was. Da Vinci got great joy out of portraying this man as Judas Iscariot. But as he continued his work on the paint-ing of Jesus and his disciples, he finally came to the face he had saved for the very end-the face of Jesus. But he drew a mental blank. He had what writers call "writer's block." He could not paint a thing. Finally, God con-victed him and showed him the trouble was he had painted the face of his enemy as the face of Judas Iscariot. He realized that his hatred and bitterness was keeping him from being able to paint the face of Christ. So he went back to the
image of Judas and painted some nebulous face. He went to his painter enemy, asked forgiveness, and they were reconciled. Then he went back and could clearly paint the face of Christ and finish one of the world's greatest por-traits. This story illustrates an impor-tant principle from our gospel to-day. Our Lord understood that whatever we do to the least among us … even our enemies as we hear about in our Gospel to-day … somehow has a boomer-ang effect on ourselves. We are all in this together. In the Lord’s Prayer we pray that our Heavenly Father would “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” People hurt us. We hurt other people. In God’s kingdom enemies must be forgiven and we must learn to live in peace. Given our present acerbic po-litical climate we have plenty of opportunities to practice this prin-ciple that the Lord gives us in our Gospel today. Almost every time we turn on the news (whether it is fake or not) we have an opportu-nity once again to forgive. When we hear a speech from our presi-dent or other political leaders, we have another opportunity to for-give. When we enter conversa-tions that “go south,” we have an opportunity to forgive. When we look into the mirror … we also should forgive.
Recently, two St. Paul parishioners had the pleasure of attending Mass at our “sister par-
ish”, St. Francis in Couette, Haiti. Their tiny little structure was alive with music, song,
clapping and a faithful joy that made the worship special. After Mass, St. Francis parish
leaders proudly gave a tour of the small village of Couette with most of the residents tag-
ging along. A meeting was also held with the area priest, Fr. Ansene Beneche, to discuss
future plans and ideas as to how we can expand and deepen our “sister parish” relation-
ship. Our parishioners also had a very fun and heartfelt visit to a primary school just 100
yards from St. Francis. We will tell you all about this visit and the good things that are brewing for our stu-
dents at St. Paul School in our next “Haiti Happenings.” We still desperately need more people involved on
our “sister parish” committee! You don’t have to go to Haiti to be a great deal of help. If you do want to
visit the beautiful mountains of Haiti, there is one spot left for a trip from June 9—June 17, 2017. Please call
Don Blough (563) 320-7265 or Tara Gruefe (563) 340-5704.

A message for CLOW parents:
Children's Liturgy of the Word is a ministry offered to the families of
St. Paul the Apostle parish. This ministry has become so popular that we are
hosting over 40 children each week and we are offering Children's Liturgy at
both the Saturday 4:30pm and Sunday 11am Masses.
CLOW is intended for children ages 3-6 years old who have some
school or group learning experience. Please send your children to CLOW if
they show interest, can follow simple directions, have the ability to sit still and
pay attention to a speaker for 10 minutes and can work independently for 15
minutes. Parents, all children are different, please use care in deciding
whether your child is old enough for CLOW.
CLOW "helpers" must be in at least 5th grade, need to be able to work
independently to hand out materials, take attendance, take small children to the
restroom, work with children needing one on one attention and to supervise
general safety and participation in the room. For more information, to observe
CLOW, or to see if this ministry is a good fit for your child as a participant or
helper,
