FORGING A STRONG BRIGHT FUTURE TOGETHER (PART 3)
Sisters and brothers in Christ, we have entered the rich and blessed season of Lent. As we know, Lent invites and challenges us to walk with Christ Jesus in the midst of life's ups and downs, aware that without him we can do nothing (John 15:5) Lent also trains us to abandon selfishness and endeavor to live not only for ourselves but also for others. We are not to forget, however, that Lent also teaches us to deepen our habit of prayer and penance. As we know, the three pillars of Lent are, Prayer, penance, and charitable deeds. We are not to neglect any of these.
In our previous reflections last month, we hammered on the need to sacrifice for one another, that is, to continue helping one another without counting the cost, as long as we are making a difference in Christ's ministry. In other words, it was stressed last month that it was because of the spirit of collaboration in our faith-community that we community has managed to stand the storms of time and forging ahead as people that value collaborative ministry at various levels. For instance, our parish staff not only reach out and help one another whenever needed but also go to a sister church to serve in the absence of a colleague. That is truly commendable and a testimony of folks living the spirit of what it means to be disciples of Jesus on mission. As we commend our parish staff for their spirit of collaboration, we also encourage all our parishioners to emulate this fine Christian spirit.
One of the areas where this spirit can be demonstrated is in the participation of our monthly combined Mass. Believe it or not, there are some among us who do not know the location of a sister-church within our Family of Parishes. What is their reason or excuse? Lack of interest or sheer apathy. The truth which none of us should forget is, selfishness stifles growth and progress, but genuine love and care enhance meaningful development. Let us embrace love and care, rather than selfishness and cold apathy.
In our reflections last month, for instance I promised to suggest certain things we all can do to move our faith-community forward in the right direction and thereby forge a viable and vibrant worshipping and mission-oriented community. What are the things? They include, but not limited to the following: Working closely with our pastors and spiritual leaders rather than secretly snipping them; praying for God's guidance on any parish venture rather than engaging in harmful rumormongering aimed at poisoning the minds of others; rolling up our sleeves and working hard wherever we can, to move our faith-family forward by, among other things, making sure that we are diligently using our weekly envelopes and attending Mass regularly. Our church cannot move forward in a meaningful way unless the members embrace the culture of teamwork, and setting our priorities right.
Simply put, we must endeavor to prefer things of the Lord to things of the world. For instance, on Sunday we should prefer going to Mass, to watching football or attending some sports etc. Sports and entertainments are good, but Christ is by far better, and should occupy a central place in our lives if we are to be his true disciples in our challenging world. Following Christ Jesus isn't easy, because it entails some heavy lifting and self-sacrifice, but in the end, it pays. Believe it or not, there is joy in serving the Lord.
My fellow reflectors and friends, between now and the end of this fiscal year hard work is demanded all of us, not just a few of us. We all are to work hard to realize our worthwhile and bold vision of one viable, vibrant parish with multiple worshipping and well maintained churches where evangelization will be the main focus, and not just maintenance. I'm greatly encouraged with what the leader in our all faith communities have been doing to make this bold vision a Reality before long. All must pray for God's guidance and successful of important vision. Also, all are to cooperate with the leaders, especially the Finance Councils of the local churches, in order to make this happen in a timely way. Let us not allow the nay-sayers and agents of divisions to prevail by turning our venture up-side-down. As we embark during these few months on finalizing our vision and mission, it is our and expectation that we all will play our parts toward the realization of our goal of a strong and durable faith-family that will stand the test of time.
May the Lord and our blessed Mother guide us. Amen!
FR. MICHAEL CHIDI NKACHUKWU
As we participate at Mass in this different way, each of us and our families are encouraged to make a daily Spiritual Communion by praying the following prayer:
My JESUS,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things and I desire to receive You in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as I know You are already here with me,
and I unite myself wholly to You
Never permit me to be separated from You.
LORD, JESUS CHRIST, You are Alive
and we trust in Your unfailing love, grace, mercy, and care!
Amen
