H S P G M Third Sunday of Easter What does it take for our eyes to be opened? Every day, a man laboriously walks down Main Street of town. With great difficulty but graceful determination, he places one foot in front of the other, uses a crudely made staff for support, and walks. His pace is slow, but he walks. What does he hope to see? Where does he want to go? What does he find? We all walk through life. The type of walking life requires is not always physical but is most assuredly emotional and spiritual. We walk, we look, we encounter, and we seek. How we do these things and what we actually find is determined by what we carry and what we allow ourselves to discover along the way. If walking is too challenging for us, we may choose to isolate and stay alone. If we are afraid to walk, we may become overly dependent on others providing for us and abandon the journey. We can walk and pay attention only to what is in front of our feet and never notice the immensity of what is happening around us. The road is never the same twice. The journey is always different. What kinds of things do you notice as you walk through life? It seems that the disciples of the Road to Emmaus missed a lot at first. We do as well. We are called to walk with purpose, to listen, and to notice things that may not at first be apparent. We have to allow the One who has a special claim on our soul to enlighten, instruct, and inspire us. The incarnate mystery of God is pulsating in and through all of creation, where the presence of the Word who became flesh can be discovered. He has been with us all along. How could we have missed Him? Our journey brings us back to the breaking of the bread, and something begins to stir within us. We begin to understand, and things look different. Bread, body, wine, and blood bring us to see that everyone and everything is a Eucharistic encounter. We become what we eat and we see what we eat. We continue to walk. Our eyes are now opened, and we recognize Him. Our hearts burn. Stay with us. Please stay with us. LPi D C... are being offered at Holy Spirit Parish on the first Friday of the month at both St. Martha in Kennebunk and St. Mary in Wells at 12 Noon. Just follow the signs towards the back of the church. It will be ideal if there s only one person in a vehicle; however, if that s not feasible, there will be instructions on how to proceed.

With that in mind, those returning should lay low and distance themselves from those already here. Those who are here should also be very aware of this. This is especially true for those returning after traveling by plane, train, or bus. If you know people who have just come back, keep a healthy distance from them and perhaps remind them of the rationale. Returning from out of the country is, of course, even more concerning but, from anywhere outside of Maine, it is still very serious. We pray each day that we will stay healthy, and know that God expects all of us to use our knowledge to avoid unnecessary exposure to one another. May God continue to bless us! S. M C P : Spaghetti O s, muffin mix, mayonnaise, fruit juice, powdered milk, canned vegetables. S. M E F P : Jiffy Mix, jelly, jam, jello, pudding, salad dressing. Please note that the hours for the St. Mary Ecumenical Food Pantry are now 2:305:30 PM on Thursdays. D,.
T S E More Community Food Pantry News! As churches, there are many ways we can help in these exceptional times! COS (Community Outreach Services), working with General Assistance officers and many organizations in our towns, is providing needed food and other assistance. The best way one can help COS help our neighbors now is by donating funds,either through their website: coskennebunks.org or by check sent to: COS, PO Box 1175, Kennebunk, ME 04043. You can be sure all donations will be put to good use! We know that many of you, because of your kindness and compassion, would like to volunteer now; however, with the limitations of spacing, the sixfoot rule, and the maximum number of people in one space, we do not need more volunteers at this point for food distribution. What we do need now more than anything is to have sufficient fundingfor food and for other needs which will certainly arise. For more information and videos about our current operations, and to donate if you wish, go to the COS website: coskennebunks.org. Another way to help is to spread the word about how food is currently being distributed.the location is at Vinegar Hill Theater, 53 Old Post Road (on the corner of Old Post Road and River Road), Arundel. Key details are as follows: M F F P All requests for food must come through the General Assistance officers of Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, or Arundel. Hours for picking food up, as well as delivery, are 24 PM. Recipients are to remain in their cars; food will be brought to them. Food donations may also be made at this location, 124 PM. F P P (may also include other items) Hours are on Fridays 910 AM, or until food runs out. Recipients are to remain in their cars; food will be brought to them. We are strong!with everyone's kindness and help, we will get through this together! We thank you all for your generous support! 5 Due to the continued need for social distancing, Holy Spirit Parish is communicating with parishioners via email. Some emails have been sent out; however, there have been some returned messages due to incorrect parishioner email addresses. If you have not been receiving parish emails and would like to, please send an email to: Rosanne.smith@portlanddiocese.org Do you recognize Christ in your life and hope to make Him known to others? Perhaps you are being called to the priesthood or consecrated life. If you are considering this possibility, contact Father Seamus Griesbach at (207) 7736471 or seamus.griesbach@portlanddiocese.org. M W Y S Missouri is known as the Show Me state. There seem to be differing points of view as to how this motto came into existence but, today, it is said to speak of a people who operate with common sense and are not easily fooled by slicktalking or show. We would be prudent to adopt such a disposition ourselves. To be this way is not really like St. Thomas in the Gospel when he doubts what he clearly sees right in front of him. It is more about holding ourselves to a standard explained in another motto: Say what you mean and mean what you say. If we claim to be Christians, disciples of the risen Jesus, then those around us should be able to tell by our actions. Can someone truly be a disciple of Jesus and not be a good steward of all he has given? Jesus makes himself known to us continually in the Holy Eucharist. When we come together to break bread at Mass, Jesus shows us his love by becoming truly present to us. He is willing to show us. What are we in turn willing to show him? Every day, Jesus calls us to respond in some way. Our response shows whether we are who we claim: his disciples. I am pretty sure Jesus is not from Missouri, but I know he is not fooled by our half truths and misguided intentions. He also means what he says and says what he means. Shouldn t his disciples do the same? Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS LPi
