Allergy Season - Part H
We learned about: allergens in our lives; sin is just as annoying
and hard to avoid. Only by turning to the Holy Spirit, a promised
gift from our Father, seeking his assistance its avoided. The plan
of Salvation: accepting Jesus as our Savior. going forward to
acknowledge Him, repentance of sin, and acceptance of baptism
as ritual acts of salvation in obedience to God's will. There find-
ing the Holy Spirit revealed in our lives: The difference between
Saul and David as King of Israel; Saul was pointed out by God
looking like an expected king. David's format changed because
GOd wanted a man who loves from his heart. God says be careful
of the gift given inside each of us. It's important how we live.
Today we leam abstaining from allergens; doing the work He's
given us, wanting all aware and careful how we live. God called
me out of the world to ministry. There was a transference of
which I was before and am now. Fm responsible for what GOd
called me to and given me. To be a full slrength witness I need
to abstain from firings which affect how others see my works for
God. I haven't always been attentive in taking care of my spiri-
tuality; there are things I must absolutely abstain from. There's
not always a level of grace in everything I do. In order to minister
effectively there are situations I can't touch, however, other things
the Spirit has allowed which doesn't affect the gift. First I must
define the gift. The Holy Spirit within me gives knowledge. It's
like a classroom with God, not knowledge in my own power.
Each minister has a different gift; mine's understanding. We
have to understand how the Spirit and word work in our lives
through God. When we have understanding we can battle back
the enemy coming at us.
The intensity or amount of effect on the situation isn't the same
when we disobey. When God says don't mess with that; then let
it go. Teaching with God is sometimes a process. I learn through
success and failures. When I speak up for the devil comes at
me. Hold on to God's power, don't let the flesh rise up and have
its way. Wait and see God's presence in your situation. Walk
away taking a valuable lesson from it; allergies untreated become
monsters in our life. Before too long it becomes an infection and
we' re down and out.
That's how sin works in our life. The enemy slips in little by
little and soon has a foothold. Watch out, don't let the enemy

IN SEARCH OF A GOD-CENTERED WORLDVIEW -
PART THREE
1. The Need for Caution in Deciding
When making life' s big - and little - decisions, too many nominal
Christians function on automatic pilot - which is say, they just
react. They tell themselves ,'Surely with my experience, I know
how to handle this."
However, there are a trainload of ideas and experiences out
there that- up to this point- you and I know nothing about. So we
should think and act with humility as we carefully ,and prayerfully
weigh our options. This is role whether we are deciding how best
to spend our money, answer a critic, or discipline a child.
And since Christ is our teacher, we are - never - in a position to
say to Him, "'Lord, I've got this now. Thanks for your help, but
I can take it from here?'
2. The High Stakes of Choosing Flesh or Spirit
Then there is the dark side. Satan is alive and active, working
on our thoughts, feelings, and will in order to destroy us and those
whose lives we influence.
So we can accurately say,"Life is a classroom with Christ as our
teacher, and it's also a battlefield with the devil as our enemy "'
We've got to stay involved, and we've got to fight.Nobody just
slides through effortlessly. The stakes are high!
Paul issued a sober warning to Christians of his time: "Don't
be deceived. God is not mocked, tbr whatever a man sows, that
he will also reap.
For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap cor-
ruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap
eternal life" (Galatians 6:7-8). These words apply to believers
today just as they applied to the believers who first read them.
Let's not miss the two important cautions that Paul has written
here: (1) There is the danger of being deceived. (Sa l can distort
reality in the idle, presumptive mind.) (2) There is the danger of
mocking God by thinking that no eternal consequences follow
how we "sow" - either'10 our flesh" or''to the Spirit."
3. Deciding How - and Where - to Walk
Earlier in the same letter, Paul had stated, "Now the works of
the flesh are obvious of which I forewam you, even as I also
forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not
inherit the Kingdom of God" ((3alatians 5:19, 21 ).
Now it is necessary to recogng e that the apostle is not telling
us to behave ourselves and, if we don't, God is going to get
What we need goes much deeper. We cannot protect our eternal
destiny by investing more human energy. Instead, we need the
power of the Holy Spirit.
4. Sowing to - and Walking in - the MiSty Spirit of God
In the Galatian letter, we get a dear indication of how to choose
the active, effective path that leads to eternal life - rather than the
passive, 'Tin okay" path that leads to deslruction.
In Galatians 5:22-23, "walking in the Spirif' results in a life
characterized by "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faith (or faithfulness), gentleness, and self-control". But these are
"the fluit of the Spirit", not the fluit of human lalxrr. The dymmic
that brings them about is the Spirit Himself. So the sequence is,
first according to verse 25, we "live" by the Spirit (that is, in this
context, the Holy Spirit impacts life to us), then according to
verses 16 and25, we ''walk" by the Spirit, and the result is the
Spirit's fruit.
Similarly, "sowing to the Spirif' (Galatians 6:8) is not the
equivalent of doing good (verse 9). The original Greek in verse 9
includes an additional commandment of enduring in doing good
This commandment is set in slight, but clear, conWast to the com
mandmeut to sow to the Spirit. So the sequence is: first, we "sow"
to the Spirit, then, the Spirit works through us, and the result is the
opportunity - as well as o ty - to endure in doing good.

St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church
By Fr. Brian O'Brien
In all our lives there are familiar voices. If we're in a crowd
and we hear that voice, maybe the voice of our mom or dad, our
husband or wife,or a child. In all the many voices in this crowded
place, we recognize that one voice above all the others. This is
what our Gospel today is showing us. If we are people of prayer,
if we are close to Him, we will come to recognize God's voice
because it is so familiar.
As we k ok at the great history of our Church, we see many
saints who heard the voice of God and had the courage to follow
it even if it meant suffering or death. Today we are privileged to
have with us a Waveling statue of a saint that is becoming more
and more well known. St. Toribio Rome was a Mexican priest
who was murdered in 1928 during the Cristem War. He was
bom in 1900 in Santa Ana de Guadalupe, Jalisco. When the
New Mexican Constitution was enacted in 1917, St. Ton oio was
being watched by the govemment. In 1927, President Plutarco
Elias Calles, who hated Catholics, ordered his soldiers to strictly
enforce the new anti-religious Constitution. Even though he was
being persecuted,Father Toribio continued to celebrate Mass,heat
Confessions, visit the sick, and teach the young.
In the early moming of February 25, 1928 soldiers entered his
house near Agua Caliente and shot him dead. As many immi=-
grants head noah through Mexico, they stop at his shrine to ask
for his intercession and for safe passage to the United States. :
At Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Tulsa, there is a shrine to St.
Toribio and on May 26th in Tulsa there will be a big celebration2
In honor ofthat celebration,I asked ifwe could have this statue foi
the weekend. Mass I encourage you to come forward and
ask for St. Torbiio's intercession for your families or for anyone
you know who is migrating. He hears the voice of the shepherd
and the shepherd hears our voices too!
Through the intercession of this great saint, may all of us be
drawn closer to the Lamb of God. May we all be filled with joy
and the Holy Spirit like the early apostles were. We are followed
of Jesus Christ! And while persecution or hardship may come,as
it did for St. Toribio, we perservre because Christ is our Shepherd
who will never abandon us!
