CONSIDERING MATTHEW SHEPERD STAGE PLAY
The Arundel Vocal Arts Society (AVAS) and Opera AACC will present “Considering Matthew Shepard”, a semi-staged oratorio, on May 17 at 7pm, and May 19, at 3pm, in the Robert E. Kaufman Theater at Anne Arundel Community College. This piece reflects upon the life and death of Matthew Shepard, one of the first reported victims of an anti-gay hate crime.
As an inclusive community which is an ally of the LGBTQ
community, perhaps we should consider a church outing to a performance. Since
May 17 is the evening on the day following the end of CACINA’s General Assembly
(GA), we might want to plan our outing for the Sunday, May 19, 3pm
performance. Tickets should be purchased
through AVAS’s web site so that AVAS receives the proceeds. I also have a few
in my possession that I can sell. I encourage you to attend if you can, for a
powerful and emotional expression of love, hope, forgiveness and peace. (paraphrased
from Joshua Rosenblum, Opera News).
Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students, seniors (60+)
or military.

Join Us for Lectio Divina Via Zoom
Click on this link to join us. If not successful, call Charlie Ernst 410-859-8298 or e-mail him @ cfe1215@gmail.com
During these challenging times it is more important than ever to maintain and strengthen our relationships with one another, within our communities, and with our God.
Lectio Divina will now be offered via ZOOM from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each Monday evening.
Lectio Divina means "holy reading" and is a prayerful study of Scripture in the Christian tradition dating from the medieval era. All are welcomed as we reflect, meditate, be receptive and respond to God’s word through each Sunday's Gospel.
The process is simple.
- The Gospel for the following Sunday is read three times.
- The first time it is read we listen for a word or phrase that seems to speak directly to us. After a brief period of silence we have an opportunity to share that particular word or phrase that spoke to our heart with those present. (Sharing is always optional).
- The second time we hear the Gospel we listen and reflect on what God may be saying to us through our particular word or phrase. After another short period of silent reflection, anyone who chooses is encouraged to share his/her thoughts.
- The third time we hear and listen to the Gospel reading we consider how God may be calling each of us to act through our word or phrase. After a final period of silent reflection, all who choose can share his/her reflections.

Seventy-five years ago, the Catholic Apostolic Church was
brought to the United States by the late Bishop Estefan Meyer Corradi-Scarella
who had been consecrated a bishop for that purpose January 23, 1949, from which
date CACINA dates its establishment. Bishop Corradi-Scarella settled in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. It expanded to 15 communitites and from there CACINA
spread to the rest of the United States. St. Charles of Brazil, pray for us.
Happy Anniversary.

Dear CACINA Family,
My
heart is filled with profound gratitude for serving as your shepherd these few
years. As we begin our 75th year of being “God’s Good News”, God has
poured out so much grace and goodness in our fifteen parishes, missions,
hospice chaplains and unique ministries. I call each of us to rekindle our love
for Jesus Christ and his church.
We
are united through our faith and blessed in our diversity with people of
different ethnicities, cultures, and traditions. The many hours of service,
dedication to the people of God in whatever ways we have all been called has
been an amazing testimony of our love for our God and one another.
We are
so grateful for our continued vision and desire to grow in wisdom and holiness both physically
and spiritually and have witnessed and pray we continue to bear the fruit of
your love and service.
Regards
Bp. Michael

ZEBEDEE: STILL FISHING REFLECTION
This reflection was based on the Gospel from Luke 5: 1-11. This story makes another appearance in Matthews Gospel this Sunday ( 1-22-23).
Zebedee: Still Fishing
This story is inspired
by Luke 5:1–11
When my sons dropped everything to accept Jesus’ invitation, I knew my boys would serve him well. They deserve the nickname Jesus gave them: “Sons of Thunder.”
God wants the best from us. And sometimes it hurts to give it.
In my case, it was the best people in my workforce. I gave Jesus my sons when he called. No, that’s not true. They were never mine to give. I wondered, Why didn’t Jesus choose me for a high-profile job in his messianic mission? I’m not that old. Maybe I was jealous. OK, I’m not as strong and fiery as my sons, but I have the wisdom of age. Why was I passed over?
Children are tremendous gifts. My sons are excellent fisherman—strong, resilient, dependable, and hard-working. I thought they would take over my business. Now my future was uncertain. I wondered if I would ever retire.
The day after he called my sons, Jesus came back to see me. He greeted me, “Hello again.” Yes, Jesus and I already knew each other. Jesus had a place in Capernaum and was a well-respected craftsman. He repaired my friend’s boat so it was better than new.
I acknowledged his presence and kept mending my nets. My workload had tripled overnight. “How are you?” He asked simply. I was brooding and full of conflicting emotions. He waited silently, just looking at me.
At last I said, “God takes away my expectations. God gives what I don’t want to receive.” “You had other plans,” Jesus concurred. “Can I sit beside you?” I nodded, and he sat down at my eye level. Again he waited. So patient was this man!
I inhaled deeply. “Where is my place in your plan? Aren’t I supposed to be doing something great for God? For you? Why am I still fishing? This job is second nature and requires little thought. Isn’t there something more?” The way Jesus looked at me, I not only felt heard, but understood.
“Jesus, I want to go out and change the world! I know you are the Messiah, and I want to join you to fix what’s broken in this country. So much needs mending. There must be more than these nets.”
He was really listening, so I continued. “I heard you tell my sons that they would fish for people. That sounds exciting. I want to do that too. Instead, I’m left to this business, to hire new help, and…” My voice trailed off. I could feel something shift as we were in conversation.
“Zebedee.” I loved how he said my name. “Zebedee, I didn’t come into the world to immediately fix the world. I have a much larger plan. And you are a part of it.” He looked at me with love. “I need you to keep fishing,” Jesus said. “What you do is valuable and significant. It fits perfectly into God’s big picture.”
I felt consoled, and my heart’s eyes opened. Families need nourishment. Somebody has to do the less-visible jobs. And I love sitting quietly on the boat and listening to the waves as we work the nets. Fishing is what I am meant to do.
I’m not going to be an Apostle witnessing amazing healings and hearing astounding teachings directly from Jesus. I’ll never be famous or start new ministries. I continue speaking with God living within. Listening in the silence, I know that God is with me. And so I am grateful. I love that I am still fishing.
Jesus Calls His First Disciples: LUKE 5 vs. 1-11
`
One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a] the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
When he had finished
speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the
nets for a catch.”
Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and
haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the
nets.”
When they had done so,
they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So
they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they
came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw
this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful
man!” For he and all his companions were
astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and
John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
