Birthdays: late: Mark Schnitzer (4/3).
Keeping-in-touch: We enjoyed a quiet Easter, actually found a seat at the early Mass (in the choir space). I do hope all our "distant companions" who rarely join in our assembly may have a powerful experience of Christ's love and more fully participate this Easter Season and through-out the year. I hope we can all live as "the gathering of the gifted."
Julie's due date will arrive fairly soon and Marge will travel to San Jose' to help-out. We'll need to prepare Marge's garden soon. Oh what a delightful time of year!
I keep busy with classes and my efforts to build a network of religious educators using the Internet together. I'm excited about building a course based on Jonathan Bender's play, In the Belly of the Whale.
The Readings: Second Sunday of Easter
Comments on the readings: Second Sunday of Easter, Fr Foley: "...his choice was surprisingly simple. It was taken in the absence of any proof, since proofs emerge from choice, they do not precede it."
My Comments: I can relate to the Apostles and Thomas: I find myself afraid and, at times, doubting the things I have "spent myself" in life. But, as Fr Foley writes, I make choices and find direction in them (sometimes a call to make an about-face!).
May the peace of Christ be with each of you.
John
