BORN TO ETERNAL LIFE

Eternal rest grant onto him O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon him.

�

Your Parish is s�ll ac�ve and Staff is s�ll working. If you

need us, don’t hesitate to call or email. If able, you can

send in your stewardship envelopes via the mail or sign up

for online dona�ons. Thank you for your con�nued support

of our parish and the community around us.�

Did you know…?�

The Jesus Prayer is a contempla*ve and medita*ve prayer

that we can use because while we pray it, we are also tak-

ing relaxing breathes. �

The prayer is:�

�

Jesus Christ, Son of God (Said while inhaling a breath)�

Have mercy upon me for I am a sinner (Said while exhaling)�

�

The symbolism of the prayer is one in which while praying

this prayer repeatedly, we are taking in Jesus with every

breath, and ge6ng rid of sin by exhaling.�

�

Try this prayer, you might like it.�

�

Stay Spiritually Strong, Fr. Dan�

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS�

Good and gracious God,�

You call each person by name �

and invite them to follow you.�

On this World Day of Prayer for Voca*ons, �

may each person hear and respond �

to the call they have received.�

We pray for all discerning marriage, �

the chaste single life, consecrated life, �

or ordained ministries,�

that your Holy Spirit would guide, �

inspire, and strengthen them. �

May your Church and the world �

be enriched by the "yes" of your children.�

Amen.�

�

These beauful

flowers adorn our

chapel entryway.

Thank you all for

keeping the parish in

your thoughts!

May the flowers be

like our prayers to God

during this me:

constant, beauful,

and loving.�

How are you? That’s a ques*on we find ourselves asking

others frequently these days. But how are YOU? Seems

like a simple enough ques*on yet we struggle some*mes

to find or give an answer. So we give a trained response,

we ques*on the sincerity of those asking and we find it

difficult to be vulnerable, but if we are honest, have we

taken the *me to discover the answer?�

We are bombarded with social and news outlets telling us

how we are or what we should be doing or how to navi-

gate through our quaran*ne…ugghh! DELETE, DELETE,

DELETE! Right? �

So where do you go to find your answer? Today everyone

is scrambling to find ways to communicate and stay

connected, but what I am sugges*ng is to disconnect.

Focus on what is. Place yourself in the presence of your

Creator, there is no safer place to be vulnerable. He above

all wants to know how you are! Rest in His loving presence

and let His glory shine upon you. �

Be s�ll and know that I am God. Psalms 46:10�

Easter joy and blessings to you all,�

REMEMBERING MARY

Do you have any childhood memories of devo�ons

to our Blessed Mother?� �

It has been a long standing tradi�on in the Catholic

Church to honor Mary in the month of May.� When my

own mother was 9 years old, one of her older sisters

gi�ed her with this altar.� �

Every May my mom would bring out the altar for us to

remember our Blessed Mother.� The box it was packed

in had many �ny perfume bo%les that my mom saved

from her childhood, probably gi�s from her older

brothers and sisters (she was the beloved baby of 12

siblings).� As kids we would go out into the yard to find

teeny spring flowers to place in the bo%les to adorn the

altar.� (I remember lots of 'creeping charlie' which my

dad was glad for us to pull out!).� �

In the presence of the altar, we prayed the Angelus as a

family.� I can remember kneeling in the living room with

the 2 foot tall statue of Mary, surrounded by my parents

and 5 siblings praying the rosary.� My parents' devo�on

to our Blessed Mother was an important part of the

faith they passed on to us.� What are your memories of

devo�ons to Mary?� Please send them to this Mary

(born on Mary's Assump�on, by the way, so what else

would my parents name

me?)��mkral@stpaulgenesee.net��

During this month of homebound ac�vi�es, create a

place for Mary, adorn that spot with some flowers, and

pray, pray, pray for her intercession in our world.�

Adult Formation

What Can We DO?

During this �me of safe�at�home, our outreach ministries

have been greatly curtailed.� St. Ben's is working with their

own staff to prepare meals.�St Bruno is sending baked beans

to be warmed on site. St Paul's made beef stew last month

but not in April because St Ben's had provisions on hand.� �

St Bruno and other�St Vincent de Paul conferences have

suspended their home visits. (Their thri% stores con�nue to

be closed, so please hang on to all those boxes you've cleaned

out of closets and the basements; when the stores reopen,

there will be demand for donated items!)� �

Hope Center con�nues to be closed except for meal boxes

being handed out from the doorway.� One local way YOU can

do something is to purchase addi�onal food when you shop at

Pick n Save and Sentry and drop it in the bins at the door

(please do not bring food from home).�Ke0le Moraine Food

Pantry is also accep�ng dona�ons through Amazon deliveries

(705 W Tomlin Road, Wales WI� 53183).� �

A 30 day prayer and ac�on ini�a�ve began May 1 through

our Archdiocese (Step out Stronger.)� Each day includes

prayer and a concrete ac�on to grow your love for God and

neighbor (check it out at �h0ps://www.archmil.org/

Courageous�Communion/StepOutStronger.htm). Pray about

geAng involved in one of our parish ministries once we can

gather again. And pray, pray, pray for our world and for all

those who usually receive our love and support through our

Human Concerns ministries.���

More Hidden Treasures

This weekend we were scheduled to

celebrate First Communion at the 4:00

Mass on Saturday. Please con�nue to pray

for our 18 candidates who have been

preparing to receive Jesus for the first

�me and are wai�ng to hear when that

glorious day will happen.�

Taking a different route on last Sunday’s

walk revealed yet another hidden treasure. I live close to

the Waukesha Bypass project so I have been living in a

construc�on zone for the last couple of years. Currently a

por�on of Madison Street is closed which impacts my ability

to easily get to where I need to go. I don’t mind the

inconvenience right now, because of the quaran�ne. Since it

was Sunday, it seemed like a good day to check out the

progress of construc�on. As I came closer to one of the

construc�on vehicles, I saw another hidden treasure! Zignego

is the contractor for the project, and they are very devout

Catholics with members both at St. Bruno and St. Paul

parishes. They have an image of Our Lady of Fa�ma on their

pieces of equipment with the phrase, “Pray the Rosary”.�

This reminds me of something I’ve been wondering about.

In my childhood memory bank is a �me of praying the rosary

together as a family. We would all gather together in the

living room to pray in front of a Marian shrine that my mom

created. At some point this family tradi�on stopped and I

don’t know why. Perhaps it was because of the �mes, mid

1960’s post Va�can II when there was a shi% from tradi�onal

devo�ons to a more “touchy feely” type of catechism. I grew

up in a very strong Catholic family and my parents were very

involved in the Church. I too was very involved at Church and I

knew that Jesus loved me. As an adult, I embraced a strong

devo�on to Mary during a difficult labor of my first child.

Constantly praying the Hail Mary during each contrac�on

gave me what I needed to eventually give birth to a 9 lb 11 oz

baby. It wasn’t un�l I began my career as a Youth Minister

and eventually Child Minister that I really began to study the

Catholic Faith. The more I learn, the hungrier I am to learn

more. There is a treasure trove of prayers, novenas, and

devo�ons to be discovered. My devo�on to Mary remains

very strong, as she is the perfect example to mothers. We

love our children by celebra�ng their victories and standing

by them in their darkest hours.�

We honor Mary in a special way during the month of May.

While May crowning may look different this year, I encourage

you to honor Mary at home. If you have a statue or a picture

of Mary, adorn her with a vase of flowers and a rosary. �

More walks to take, more stories to share. Take some �me

to pray the rosary with your family this week!�

ADVERTISER OF THE WEEK

LIVE THE LITURGY � �

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK�

When you wake up in the morning,

whose voice is the first one you listen

to? Your own? Someone else’s? Or

God? We all listen to someone and

follow some sort of guidelines and

principles. If it is a secular voice that

propels us to get up in the morning and

take up the task of the day’s agenda,

then we may find ourselves off track.

The advice found in the Acts of the

Apostles was as true then as it is now,

“Save yourselves from this corrupt

genera�on.” Most of what we listen to

in secular voices is off the axis of truth

and distorted. It may sound a7rac�ve,

but it is decep�ve at best. Many have

gone astray like sheep and need to

return to the Good Shepherd. Only

Jesus can offer us the gate of life, and

only Jesus as the Good Shepherd can

really mo�vate us to take on the

challenges of life. If we don’t recognize

his voice, we can risk facing destruc�on.
