A big thanks to Forever Lawn who worked hard the past couple weeks to install turf on the playground and field beside the Memorare Center. Hopefully our Athletic Department, school gym classes, and parish community will be able to use it and play on it for years to come!

A couple weeks ago, I received this clever poem called “Planting Your Spring Garden for the Garden of Your Daily Living” by John Forti. As we enter into the summer season, make sure to plant these rows in your spiritual life!

Plant three rows of peas
1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash
1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce
1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

No garden is complete without turnips
1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

To conclude, our garden we must have thyme
1. Thyme for each other
2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for friends

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. There is much fruit in your garden because you reap what you sow. Pass it on!

May these grow well in your spiritual life,
Fr. Jeremy
