Welcome to Lakewood's St. Mary's of the Lake Church

Then he took a cup,
gave thanks, and gave it to them,
and they all drank from it.
He said to them, 
“This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.
Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 
- Mk 14:23-25

For now, in our three churches
there are still a number of
roped pews for those with
masks and social distancing.

As we gather today
to reaffirm
our faith in the
Real Presence of Christ
in the Eucharist,
we are reminded
that we are also 
the Body of Christ.
The mission of the Gospel calls us to be Christ for others. There is so much brokenness and pain in our world. Many people are lost and feeling lonely, marginalized and oppressed, victimized and abused. Every time we receive the Body (and Blood) of Christ, we are asked to become what we eat. Are we willing to step aside from our preoccupations and concerns so that we can be Christ for others?
The power and presence of Christ in the Eucharist becomes present in us. In receiving this transforming
presence of Christ, we can truly effect change in the lives of those we meet. We can show them God’s unconditional, ever-present love
and the beauty that can come from loving others. We are given the grace to become temples of justice
and peace, carrying God’s sacred Presence within us wherever we go.

To our 2021 Confirmands! 
Wednesday evening,
May 5th,
Fr. Philip Confirmed
Emily Ann Christianson,
Reed Edward Christianson,
Clayton Michael Janesch,
Matthew Ray Seeber and 
Connor William Taylor
from St. Mary’s of the Lake and St. Ambrose Parishes.
May the gift of the Holy Spirit be a spiritual sign and seal that make you more like Christ and a more perfect member of His church.

A Special Thank You!

To Anne Tessmer and Amy Stefanovic for preparing our students for this Sacrament. May God Bless You Always!

Inspiration for the Week

The immensity, scope, intimacy, 
and pervasiveness of God’s presence is too intense for the human mind.
We often limit God by
our expectations of Him
and have a hard time
just letting God be God.
Some people all too easily lose faith because God does not
meet their expectations.
Worse still,
the idea of faith is rejected altogether by others because of polarities and experiences they have that don’t square with
who they need God to be.
The Holy Trinity is one of those teachings that is best encountered rather than dissected.
It is only through being present with the Trinity that we can experience both the immensity and otherness of God’s presence as well as the intimacy of the God who wants us to call Him “dad.”
We feel the loving guidance of a God who wants to take us from fear and give us confidence.
Our God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow is a God of all ages whose three-fold Presence invades all senses, seasons, and times.
God,
who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is much more than any of our expectations if we simply
let God be who God is.

Prayer Shawls

If you would like to receive a prayer shawl, or know of someone who would, please call the parish office.
A prayer shawl has been blessed by Father and helps to remind us of God’s love and care and the prayers of our faith community to know that
we are not alone.
