adult classes, or Confirmation Prep.

May 10th, 2015—Sixth Sunday of Easter

Love, love, love, love, love. It seems that we hear

this word over and over. Bill loves Sue, Sue loves Fred, etc.

Every sitcom is loaded with people who fall in and out of

love. We hear about married people breaking up and we

wonder where their love went. Then we come to Church, and

again we hear about love.

But it is not all the same. True love is a choice that

demands sacrifice. People who fall in and out of love have

not made a choice that demands sacrifice, or at least one of

them has not.

The choice of love demands that we accept limita-

tions on our lives and even pain and suffering in order to love

as Jesus loved. Parents respond to their baby’s cries in the

middle of the night. They have no choice if they really love

their child. But that choice takes sacrifice. This is the

meaning of true love. Look at your Moms and Dads. Look at

the sacrifices each makes for the other. That is how they

make love to each other. In a true marriage, marital love is

infinitely more than the physical expression of that love.

A teenager listens to a friend’s story of family

difficulties. The other teen needs an ear that under-

stands. The first teen would much rather be listening to

music, or playing video games, but has no choice but to be

present for the suffering friend. Christianity demands it.

A retiree spends a few hours each day with an elderly neigh-

bor. He’d rather be fishing or golfing, but he has no choice

but to visit Christ’s presence in the home bound. An auto

mechanic repairs a traveling family’s car after the garage’s

hours so the poor folks can get on the road and get their kids

to bed. He would rather be with his own family, but he is a

Christian, he has no choice. And on and on.

Millions of little routine daily sacrifices make the

greatest life there ever was a reality in our world.

Fr. Tom Kennedy

This summer I will be joining two other seminarians in

Guatemala for a Spanish Language School and Immersion

program. I will be there for the months of June and most

of July. In mid-August I will return to Houston and St.

Mary’s Seminary for the remainder of my seminary

formation. Around this time next year, Spring of 2016,

I will be ordained a deacon. The following year, Spring

2017, I will be ordained a priest. Rest assured, Fr. Tom

and the office will receive all information on the specific

dates.

If you would like to stay in contact with me specifically,

I have included my seminary address, email, and phone

number below. Please continue to keep me in your

prayers these final two years and know that you will be

in my prayers too! Should you find yourself in Houston,

you are very welcome to stop by St. Mary’s Seminary for

a tour and visit!
