JOYFUL OYFUL AGAIN GAIN WIDOW IDOW/W IDOW/WIDOWER IDOWER RETREAT ETREAT "My friends and family don't understand why I still need to grieve." "Will I ever feel really alive again now that my spouse is gone?" How can we help the people in our family as they cope with the normal feelings of grief experienced at the death of a spouse -- feelings of confusion, loneliness, loss of identity and self esteem? Joyful Again!, a program open to people of all faiths, is designed to help widowed persons move through bereavement and toward a state of psychological, spiritual and emotional wholeness. Joyful Again! is based on the belief that with God's help all things are possible; that through Him we can help ourselves and each other. Having other widowed people with whom to share your feelings can help you find the strength to work through your grief and achieve personal growth in the acceptance of your loss. Joyful Again! is a two day retreat program designed for men and women of all ages who have been widowed and are seeking to renew hope and joy in their lives. The retreat is May 18 & 19 at St. John Neumann in Miami. You can get more information and register online at http:// www.joyfulagainsouthflorida.org. You can also call 954-417- 5569 or email info@joyfulagainsouthflorida.org for more information. Applications may also be available in your church office.

REFLECTING EFLECTING ON GOD OD’S OD WORD ORD Forming a community is never easy. This is true whether the community is made up of family members, citizens, or believers. Diversity can both enrich and divide. Jewish Christians were soon joined by Gentile believers. The church in Jerusalem was joined by the church in Antioch. While the Gentile Christians questioned whether they had to accept all the Jewish traditions and customs, Jewish Christians feared they would lose what had given them their identity. Today’s reading from Acts witnesses to the role of the Holy Spirit in helping to navigate a way through these sensitive issues. The leaders of the church in Jerusalem send a letter to the church in Antioch, proclaiming that the decision they reached came not just from human wisdom, but from working with the Holy Spirit. Such testimony to the role of the Holy Spirit is also found in the Gospel of John. At the Last Supper, Jesus tells his disciples that the Holy Spirit will come from the Father and “teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you” (John 14:26). Because of this promise, we can have confidence that God will not abandon us. Indeed, the Trinity comes to dwell with those faithful to Jesus’ word. When we gather to celebrate the Eucharist, we call on the Holy Spirit both to open our minds to Jesus’ word and to transform bread and wine so that we become more fully the body of Christ and the living temple of the Holy Spirit in the world.
