YOUR STEWARDSHIP OFFERING
Great Lent is quickly approaching! It is a time of
repentance and forgiveness …a time for us to strengthen our spiritual life. It is a time to look
deep into ourselves and strive to be the person God
intended us to be. It is a time to share the
blessings we have received with others and with
God and His Church. Hopefully, we will begin or continue to participate in our church stewardship
offering for the year and put aside a “dollar-a-day”
or whatever we are able to offer. Let us be an
example of generosity and help support our church!
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless all of you with
health and happiness as you continue to participate during these very difficult times! Many
Years! Mnohaja Lita!

THE STORY OF CARL A PRE-LENTEN REFLECTION
Carl was a quiet man. He didn’t talk much. He
would always greet you
with a big smile and a
firm handshake. Even
after living in our
neighborhood for over 50 years, no one could
really say they knew
him very well. Before
his retirement, he took
the bus to work each morning. The lone sight
of him walking down
the street often worried
us. He had a slight limp from a bullet wound
received in WWII. Watching him, we worried that
although he had survived WWII, he may not make it through our changing uptown neighborhood with
its ever increasing random violence, gangs, and
drug activity.
When he saw the flyer at our local church asking for volunteers for caring for the gardens behind the
minister’s residence, he responded in his
characteristically unassuming manner. Without
fanfare, he just signed up. He was well into his
87th year when the very thing we had always
feared finally happened. He was just finishing his watering for the day when three gang members
approached him. Ignoring their attempt to
intimidate him, he simply asked, “Would you like a
drink from the hose?” The tallest and toughest-
looking of the three said, “Yeah, sure,” with a malevolent little smile. As Carl offered the hose to
him, the other two grabbed Carl’s arm, throwing
him down. As the hose snaked crazily over the
ground, dousing everything in its way, Carl’s
assailants stole his retirement watch and his
wallet, and then fled. Carl tried to
get himself up,
but he had been
thrown down on
his bad leg. He lay there trying to
gather himself as
the minister came
running to help
him.
Although the minister had witnessed the attack
from his window, he couldn’t get there fast enough
to stop it. “Carl, are you okay? Are you hurt?” the minister kept asking as he helped Carl to his feet.
Carl just passed a hand over his brow and sighed,
shaking his head. “Just some punk kids. I hope
they’ll wise-up someday.” His wet clothes clung to
his slight frame as he bent to pick up the hose. He
adjusted the nozzle again and started to water. Confused and a little concerned, the minister
asked, “Carl, what are you doing?” “I’ve got to finish
my watering. It’s been very dry lately,” came the
calm reply. Satisfying himself that Carl really was
all right, the minister could only marvel. Carl was a man from a different time and place.
A few weeks later the three returned. Just as before
their threat was unchallenged. Carl again offered
them a drink from his hose. This time they didn’t
rob him. They wrenched the hose from his hand and drenched him head to foot in the icy water.
When they had finished their humiliation of him,
they sauntered off
down the street,
throwing catcalls and curses, falling over
one another laughing
at the hilarity of what
they had just done.
Carl just watched
them. Then he turned toward the warmth
giving sun, picked up
his hose, and went on
with his watering.
The summer was quickly fading into fall. Carl was
doing some tilling when he was startled by the
sudden approach of someone behind him. He
stumbled and fell into some evergreen branches. As
he struggled to regain his footing, he turned to see
the tall leader of his summer tormentors reaching down for him. He braced himself for the expected
attack. “Don’t worry old man, I’m not gonna hurt
you this time.” The young man spoke softly, still
offering the tattooed and scarred hand to Carl. As
he helped Carl get up, the man pulled a crumpled bag from his pocket and handed it to Carl. “What’s
this?” Carl asked. “It’s your stuff,” the man
explained. “It’s your stuff back; even the money in
your wallet.” “I don’t understand,” Carl said. “Why
would you help me now?”
The man shifted his feet, seeming embarrassed and
ill at ease. “I learned something from you,” he said.
“I ran with that gang and hurt people like you. We
picked you because you were old and we knew we
could do it. But every time we came and did
something to you, instead of yelling and fighting back, you tried to give us a drink. You didn’t hate
us for hating you. You kept showing love against
our hate.” He stopped for a moment. “I couldn’t
sleep after we stole your stuff, so here it is back.” He paused for another awkward moment, not
knowing what more there was to say. “That bag’s
my way of saying thanks for straightening me out, I
guess.” And with that, he walked off down the
street.
Carl looked down at
the sack in his hands
and gingerly opened
it. He took out his
retirement watch and put it back on his
wrist. Opening his
wallet, he checked
for his wedding
photo. He gazed for a
moment at the young bride that still smiled
back at him from all
those years ago.
He died one cold day after Christmas that winter. Many people attended his funeral in spite of the
weather. In particular the minister noticed a tall
young man that he didn’t know sitting quietly in a
distant corner of the church. The minister spoke of
Carl’s garden as a lesson in life. In a voice made
thick with unshed tears, he said, “Do your best and make your garden as beautiful as you can. We will
never forget Carl and his garden.”
The following spring another flyer went up. It read:
“Person needed to care for Carl’s garden.” The flyer went unnoticed by the busy parishioners until one
day when a knock was heard at the minister’s office
door. Opening the door, the minister saw a pair of
scarred and tattooed hands holding the flyer. “I
believe this is my job, if you’ll have me,” the young
man said. The minister recognized him as the same young man who had returned the stolen watch and
wallet to Carl. He knew that Carl’s kindness had
turned this man’s life around. As the minister
handed him the keys to the garden shed, he said,
“Yes, go take care of Carl’s garden and honor him.”
The man went to work and, over the next several
years, he tended the flowers and vegetables just as
Carl had done. During that time, he went to college,
got married, and became a prominent member of
the community. But he never forgot his promise to Carl’s memory and kept the garden as beautiful as
he thought Carl would have kept it. One day he
approached the new minister and told him that he
couldn’t care for the garden any longer. He
explained with a shy and happy smile, “My wife
just had a baby boy last night, and she’s bringing him home on Saturday.” “Well, congratulations!”
said the minister, as he was handed the garden
shed keys. “That’s wonderful! What’s the baby’s
name?” “Carl,” he replied… (Anonymous)

memory of family or friends, please register on our
signup sheet in the back of the church. A
donation of $5.00 is appreciated.
If you or a family member goes into the hospital,

it’s not during church services. If the call or text
absolutely cannot wait, we ask that you step
downstairs so as not to disturb anyone else.
Yearly parish financial obligations are traditionally
taken care of during the Lenten season. However,
if circumstances prevent this from occurring you

year (or use monthly offering envelope). Dues are
$170.00 per adult which includes diocesan dues
that are submitted to our diocesan headquarters
in Johnstown.
CHURCH SCHOOL
