The Gift of Time

As you might imagine, I now feel like the countdown clock is ticking for me. Where did the last 21 years go? The answer to that question has come to me over the past few months with all the first communions, confirmations and graduations. Most of the young people who received these sacraments were not yet born in 2000! Those of us who can remember being alive in that millennial year can recall trying to imag-ine what the new millennium would bring. We wor-ried about computers going bonkers at the stroke of midnight. What was going to happen? Most of us then were new to the internet and electronic devices which today run our lives and take up any empty time we have. My letter to you this week is an invitation to join me in reflecting on and celebrating the gift of time. You might be facing a change in your life as I am in mine: the beginning or end of a job, or maybe a new school or college, or a new friendship or marriage or the start of a family. Chances are this year marks an event that will make a difference in your life. With God's help and smart choices about the pandemic, this will be the year we came out of COVID, even though we will not be the same as we were before. The Book of Ecclesiastes has a profound reflection of time. Its words found their way into a popular folk song that began "To everything (turn, turn, turn), there is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven. A time to be born, a time to die..."

The biblical passage makes this point: God "has made everything appropriate to its time, and has put the timeless into their hearts, without men's ever dis-covering, from beginning to end, the work which God has done. (Eccles. 3:11)" Later this summer, after I leave St. John's and St. Thomas and a few weeks of vacation, I will make a 30 day retreat at a Jesuit Retreat Center in Colorado to reflect on many years of my life (76) and priesthood (51). Most of you don't have the luxury of time to do such a thing, But I encourage you to take time in the next few weeks and months to reflect on what God has been doing in your time? Next week, Cardinal Sean O'Malley is coming to Saint John's to lead us in giving praise and thanks to God for 150 years of our Catholic faith in Peabody which wasn't even a city then! I have written and more will be told to you this year about our history. But it is important for you to know that this parish story of who we were and are is also your story. Even if you are new I hope you will join us. To those of you who have received sacraments or worshipped at Saint John's I really urge you to take time to celebrate this parish family feast day. The Mass next Sunday will be for the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, our holy patron. So right now go to our website, stjohnspeabody.org and register or just call the parish 978-531-0002.We want to save a seat for you and your family and prepare food and beverages for you afterwards in Mary's Park. Come on! It's time to celebrate! We have lots of room and A/C at the 10 AM Mass. The following weekend of June 26/27 will be my last weekend as your pastor. I will bid farewell to you at the 4 PM Mass at St Thomas and the 8 AM and 10 AM Masses at St. John's. If you want to hear my Portuguese (not very good, I assure you) you can join the Brazilian community at their annual Festa Junina Mass at 6 PM on Saturday in the parking lot at St John's. They will have great food and music to follow. God gives each and every one of us a definite time in which to show us his love. We do not choose that time; we do choose how to see and live within it. God has given us all graces and crosses. Jesus teaches us that even those crosses are moments of grace. Take time to notice and to give thanks. God is always on time! God bless! FFr. John

El Regalo del Tiempo Como puede imaginar, ahora siento que el reloj de cuenta regresiva está corriendo para mí. ¿A dónde fueron los últimos 21 años? La respuesta a esa pregunta me ha llegado en los últimos meses con todas las primeras comuniones, confirmaciones y graduaciones. ¡La mayoría de los jóvenes que recibieron estos sacramentos aún no habían nacido en 2000! Aquellos de nosotros que podemos recordar haber estado vivos en ese año del mile-nio podemos recordar haber tratado de imaginar lo que traería el nuevo milenio. Nos preocupaba que las computadoras se volvieran locas al filo de la medianoche. ¿Qué iba a pasar? La mayoría de nosotros éramos nue-vos en Internet y en los dispositivos electrónicos que hoy controlan nues-tras vidas y ocupan el tiempo vacío que tenemos. Mi carta para ustedes esta semana es una invitación a unirse a mí para reflexionar y celebrar el regalo del tiempo. Es posible que estés enfrentan-do un cambio en tu vida como yo en la mía: el comienzo o el final de un trabajo, o tal vez una nueva escuela o universidad, o una nueva amistad o matrimonio o el comienzo de una familia. Es probable que este año mar-que un evento que marcará la diferencia en su vida. Con la ayuda de Dios y las decisiones inteligentes sobre la pandemia, este será el año en el que salimos de COVID, aunque no seremos los mismos que éramos antes. El Libro de Eclesiastés tiene una profunda reflexión del tiempo. Sus palabras encontraron su camino en una canción popular que comenzaba "Para todo (girar, girar, girar), hay una temporada (girar, girar, girar) Y un tiempo para cada propósito, bajo el cielo. Un tiempo para nacer, un tiempo para morir... " El pasaje bíblico señala este punto: Dios "ha hecho todo apropiado a su tiempo, y ha puesto lo intemporal en sus corazones, sin que los hombres lo descubran jamás, de principio a fin, la obra que Dios ha he-cho" (Eclesiastés 3:11)." A finales de este verano, después de dejar San Juan el Bautista y Santo Thomas y unas pocas semanas de vacaciones, haré un retiro de 30 días en un Centro de Retiro Jesuita en Colorado para reflexionar sobre muchos años de mi vida (76) y mi sacerdocio (51). La mayoría de ustedes no tie-nen el lujo de tener tiempo para hacer tal cosa, pero les animo a que en las próximas semanas y meses se tomen un tiempo para reflexionar sobre lo que Dios ha estado haciendo en su tiempo. La semana que viene, el cardenal Sean O'Malley vendrá a San Juan para guiarnos en alabar y dar gracias a Dios por los 150 años de nuestra fe cató-lica en Peabody, que entonces ni siquiera era una ciudad. Les he escrito y les contarán más este año sobre nuestra historia. Pero es importante que sepa que esta historia parroquial de quiénes fuimos y somos también es su historia. Incluso si eres nuevo, espero que te unas a nosotros. A aquellos de ustedes que han recibido sacramentos o han adorado en San Juan el Bautista realmente les insto a que tomen un tiempo para celebrar esta fies-ta familiar parroquial. La misa del próximo domingo será con motivo de la solemnidad de la Natividad de San Juan Bautista, nuestro santo patrón. Así que ahora mismo vaya a nuestro sitio web, stjohnspeabody.org y regístrese o simplemente llame a la parroquia 978-531-0002. Queremos reservar un asiento para usted y su familia y luego preparar comida y bebidas para usted en el parque de María. ¡Vamos! ¡Es tiempo de celebrar! Tenemos mucho espacio y aire acondicionado en la misa de las 10 AM. El siguiente fin de semana del 26 al 27 de junio será mi último fin de se-mana como su pastor. Me despediré de ustedes en la misa de las 4 pm en Santo Thomas y en las misas de las 8 am y las 10 am en San Juan Bautista. Si quieres escuchar mi portugués (no muy bien, te lo aseguro) puedes unir-te a la comunidad brasileña en su misa anual de Festa Junina a las 6 pm el sábado en el estacionamiento de San Juan Bautista. Tendrán buena comida y música para seguir. Dios nos da a todos y cada uno de nosotros un tiempo definido para mos-trarnos su amor. No elegimos ese momento; elegimos cómo verlo y vivir dentro de él. Dios nos ha dado todas las gracias y cruces. Jesús nos enseña que incluso esas cruces son momentos de gracia. Tómese el tiempo para darse cuenta y dar gracias. ¡Dios está siempre a tiempo!

¡Dios los bendiga! Padre John

O Presente do Tempo Como você pode imaginar, agora sinto que a contagem regressiva está passando para mim. Para onde foram os últimos 21 anos? A resposta a essa pergunta veio a mim nos últimos meses, com todas as primeiras comunhões, confirmações e formaturas. A maioria dos jovens que rece�beram esses sacramentos ainda não haviam nascido em 2000! Aqueles de nós que se lembram de estar vivos naquele ano milenar podem se lembrar que tentávamos imaginar o que o novo milênio traria. Estávamos preocupados com os computadores enlouquecendo ao bater da meia-noite. O que vai acontecer? A maioria de nós era novo na Internet e nos dispositivos eletrônicos que hoje comandam nossas vidas e ocupam todo o tempo vazio que temos.

Minha carta para você esta semana é um convite para juntar-se a mim para refletir e celebrar o dom do tempo. Você pode estar enfrentando uma mudança em sua vida como eu estou na minha: o início ou o fim de um emprego, ou talvez uma nova escola ou faculdade, ou uma nova amizade ou casamento ou o início de uma família. É provável que este ano seja um evento que fará a diferença em sua vida. Com a ajuda de Deus e escolhas inteligentes sobre a pandemia, este será o ano em que saímos da COVID, embora não sejamos mais como antes. O livro de Eclesiastes traz uma profunda reflexão sobre o tempo. Suas palavras encontraram seu caminho em uma canção folclórica popular que começava "Para tudo (gire, gire, gire), há uma estação (gire, gire, gire) E um tempo para todos os propósitos, sob o céu. Um tempo para nascer, e hora de morrer ... " A passagem bíblica mostra este ponto: Deus "fez tudo apropriado para o seu tempo, e colocou o anseio em seus corações, sem que os homens jamais descubram, do começo ao fim, a obra que Deus fez. (Ec 3:11) " Mais tarde neste verão, depois de deixar St. John's e St. Thomas e algu-mas semanas de férias, farei um retiro de 30 dias em um Centro de Retiro Jesuíta no Colorado para refletir sobre muitos anos de minha vida (76)anos entre eles (51 ) anos de sacerdócio . A maioria de vocês não tem tempo para fazer tal coisa, mas eu os encorajo a tirar um tempo nas próximas semanas e meses para refletir sobre o que Deus tem feito em seu tempo. Na próxima semana, o Cardeal Sean O'Malley virá a Saint John's para nos levar a louvar e agradecer a Deus pelos 150 anos de nossa fé católica em Peabody, que nem mesmo era uma cidade naquela época! Eu escrevi e mais serei contado a vocês este ano sobre nossa história. Mas é importante para você saber que esta história paroquial de quem fomos e somos é também a tua história. Mesmo se você for novo,espero que você se junte a nós. Aos que receberam os sacramentos ou adoraram em São João, exorto-os a dedicar algum tempo à celebração deste dia de festa familiar paroquial. A missa do próximo domingo será para a solenidade da Natividade de São João Batista, nosso santo padroeiro. Então, agora mesmo, acesse nosso site, stjohnspeabody.org e registre-se ou ligue para a paróquia 978-531-0002. Queremos reservar um lugar para você e sua família e preparar comida e bebida para você depois no Parque de Maria. Vamos! É hora de comemorar! Temos muito espaço e A / C na missa das 10h. O fim de semana seguinte, 26/27 de junho, será meu último fim de semana como seu pastor. Vou me despedir de vocês na missa das 16h em St. Thomas e nas missas das 8h e 10h em St. John's. Se você quiser ouvir meu português (não muito bom, garanto-lhe), você pode se juntar à comunidade brasileira na missa da Festa Junina anual às 18h no sábado no estacionamento do St John's. Eles terão boa comida e música para acompanhar. Deus dá a cada um de nós um tempo definido para nos mostrar o seu amor. Não escolhemos esse tempo; nós escolhemos como ver e viver dentro dele. Deus nos deu todas as graças e cruzes. Jesus nos ensina que mesmo essas cruzes são momentos de graça. Reserve um tempo para notar e agradecer. Deus é sempre pontual! Deus abençoe! Fr. João

Father’s Day June 20th, 2021

A SURPRISE GIFT! This group of men were among a larger group of parishioners who surprised me early

Saturday morning after the 7 AM Mass. These men get together on Saturday mornings to read and share thoughts about the Sunday gospel. (All are welcome!) I was very

touched by their tribute.. Please come and share my bench in Mary's Park. My thanks go out to all the men and women

who took this personal initiative. I couldn't be happier thinking that people will want to stop and pray to our

Blessed Mother. God bless you all! Fr. John

Reading I Ez 17:22-24 Thus says the Lord GOD: I, too, will take from the crest of the cedar, from its topmost branches tear off a tender shoot, and plant it on a high and lofty mountain; on the mountain heights of Israel I will plant it. It shall put forth branches and bear fruit, and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind shall dwell beneath it, every winged thing in the shade of its boughs. And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, bring low the high tree, lift high the lowly tree, wither up the green tree, and make the withered tree bloom. As I, the LORD, have spoken, so will I do. Responsorial Psalm 92:2-3, 13-14, 15-16 (R) Lord, it is good to give thanks to you. It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praise to your name, Most High, To proclaim your kindness at dawn and your faithfulness throughout the night. (R) The just one shall flourish like the palm tree, like a cedar of Lebanon shall he grow. They that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. (R) They shall bear fruit even in old age; vigorous and sturdy shall they be, Declaring how just is the LORD, my rock, in whom there is no wrong. (R) Reading II 2 Cor 5:6-10 Brothers and sisters: We are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather leave the body and go home to the Lord. Therefore, we aspire to please him, whether we are at home or away. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia. The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower. All who come to him will live forever. R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 4:26-34 Jesus said to the crowds: “This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and through it all the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.” He said, “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it. Without parables he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.

Congratulations Fr. Jay Woods, OFM Son of Saint John the Baptist Parish!

This weekend, Jay Woods OFM, a Franciscan friar with Holy Name Province, will be ordained a priest at St. Patrick-St Anthony's in Hartford, CT. I am delighted to share the story he wrote to us about his vocation. What a joy as St. John's gives one more of its sons to the priesthood!

St. John the Baptist's parish helped to nurture my vocation in many ways. Though I did not attend St. John's School I was extremely involved with the parish life of St John's. I attended CCD and received all of my sacraments (though I was baptized at Immaculate Conception Church in Salem) at St John's.

I was an altar boy beginning in the fourth grade. The usual age was 5th grade, but Fr. McLeod agreed that my passion to start early was strong enough to forgo the extra year. I continued to serve till I graduated from high school. Along the way I also served as a masters of ceremonies to help lead the liturgies - a position I con-tinue to serve in to this day! When Fr. Robert Blaney arrived fol-lowing his ordination he began a youth group which I helped to organize. We got together for prayer and faith sharing and were very socially conscious. The biggest event we did was a 48 Hour Fast for Hunger, when we raised money for an organization in Africa which helped to support underserved communities there.

My dad, Jack Woods, was asked to join the financial and pastoral councils by Fr. McDonough when he was pastor. At that same pastoral council election I was elected the youth representative to the parish council. That was a great opportunity for me at such a young age to experience the internal workings of a parish. My sister and brother and I were the fourth generation of my family to worship at St. John's Church. My great grandmother, Mary Alice O'Connor and great aunt, Helen O'Connor-Hogan, were cantors at St John's.

Growing up, the priests and parishioners of St. John's helped to water and nurture the seed of my religious vocation which was planted by my parents and grandparents. The seed was a calling to a life of service to God and God's people. Especially to those on the margins of society and those experiencing hardship. It took me thirteen years to stop fighting the calling. During those years I worked as a costume designer and dresser on Broadway and in television and film in New York City. Then I had had enough of that high pace stressful world. Finally I said 'yes' to my vocation as a religious priest.

The last eight years of religious formation and studies have been a serene and life giving experience for which I thank God every-day. In addition to some parish work, the majority of my ministry experience has been as a jail chaplain, an advocate and civil rights activist, and a helper to those who are experiencing homeless-ness. As an addict in recovery myself, I specialize in working with our sisters and brothers who are in early recovery or are still in the grips of active addiction. In saying 'yes' to God, with my own magnificat, I experience God at work in each of us everyday! The Incarnation is at work in each of us. I am grateful to God every-day for the gift of an open heart to experience that each day. All of creation and each of us are wonders of God's love.

My first assignment will be to St Anthony's Shrine on Arch Street in downtown Boston. I will also be starting a Masters of Social Work degree at Boston University in the Fall. Thank you for your prayers! Ad multos annos (may you live many years) Fr. Jay! We are proud and very grateful that you said "Yes" to the Lord and will now serve him as a son of St. Francis. God bless you! Fr. John

Festa Junina is the term used to describe the traditional festivities that happen at the beginning of the Brazilian winter in June. It is a month to

commemorate some of the most famous saints for Catholics; namely Saint Anthony, Saint John the Baptist and Saint Peter. It is also a month to honor rain, the harvest season and marital union. Visitors celebrate from mid-June until the end of July and in some cities, festivities even continue until late

August. Those attending will be treated to typical Brazilian food, will dress up like farmers, enjoy bonfires and dance the quadrilha. After Carnival, it is

the second most important popular celebration in Brazilian culture.

Festa Junina’s origins date back to Portuguese colonization, and the holiday has developed over time to incorporate Brazilian cultural elements. The culture of indigenous populations, Afro-Brazilians and European immigrants has all influenced how the festivities are held in different regions in Brazil. First originating in the

countryside, where most religious people lived and where they relied more on rain for their agriculture, the festivities quickly spread to larger cities all around the country. Every region has its own way of celebrating,

but the most impressive festivities and dances take place in the North East.
