St. Patrick Catholic Community
Summary: Welcome to St Patrick Catholic Community Podcast We’re glad that you are here! We seek to be a community that gathers to hear God’s Word, feast at the table of the Lord and then be sent forth empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are a community that does not see our Sacraments as a reward for good behavior, rather as meant for healing and nourishment for life’s long journey. We seek to encounter all people with an openness to hear their stories, inviting them into their spiritual home and to walk with us to deepen our relationship with God.

Every person in life experiences saying farewell/goodbye or being told goodbye. It can be difficult to experience leaving or letting people go. Jesus says farewell to his disciples, yet we can learn something powerful in goodbyes. Listen to the homily from Fr Eric.
Mother's Day at St Patrick has the custom of calling forth women from our community to speak on the gifts of Motherhood and those who are role models of being mothers to others. Tricia Hoyt spoke at 5pm Saturday mass. Angela Ducey and her sister Kristy Wagner spoke at our Sunday masses. Included is a video on CarePortal, a statewide project calling on all churches to offer support for children in need. Thank you to these three ladies offering their Mother's Day to the community.

We have either heard or said the phrase, "over my dead body!". It can be a figure of speech, annoyance at something we do not like, or serious statement meant to show disagreement or anger. Today's gospel has Jesus giving another meaning to that phrase, a shepherd who lays down his life for his flock. Listen to what Jesus means and what he asks of us in laying down our lives as well.
St Luke's Gospel sees the city of Jerusalem the destiny of the mission of Jesus. Two disciples take the path away from Jerusalem and head towards Emmaus. It is the wrong path for a disciple. The path to God is the path of suffering love. We learn from God that there is no love without sacrifice. God saves us from false love that knows no sacrifice.
A broken dish usually is thrown away. In Japan there is a philosophy of having broken items being put back together by craftsmen. Beauty is seen in what is broken. God's mercy is the same. God takes our brokenness and restores what is has been beautiful already in our lives. Here is the link to the video shown at mass this weekend.

"GODISNOWHERE- how do we read this? We used Luke's account of the Road to Emmaus, as two disciples experience both versions of this run on sentence. God is no where, yet after a stranger appears and they experience the risen Lord in their sadness, it changes to God is now here. How can we all be Easter people to a Good Friday world? Listen to our Easter homily.
