Sunday Homily: John Cade

 

A Touching Story from John Cade & his sister:

Officer James Givens has served with the Cincinnati Police Department for over 26 years, but has never quite experienced anything like this before. He was sitting in his patrol car in a parking lot when he got an unexpected visitor.
A goose came up to his car and started pecking on the side of it. He threw
food out for her, thinking that's what she wanted, but she didn't take it.

She continued to peck and quack, then walked away, stopped and looked back at Officer Givens.  Then she came back to his car and pecked at it again.  She made it very obvious that she wanted Officer Givens to follow her, so he finally got out of his car and did just that.

Image1

 

The goose led him 100 yards away to a grassy area near a creek. Sitting there was one of her babies, tangled up in a balloon string. The baby was kicking its feet, desperate for help.

Image1

 

Luckily, Given's colleague, Officer Cecilia Charron, came to help.  She began to untangle the baby, and the mother goose just stood there and watched, quacking.  She didn't become aggressive, and just let Officer Charron do what she had to do to set the baby free

It was like the mother goose knew they were helping.  Once Charron untangled the baby, she put it down and it ran right to her mom, and they went right to swimming in the creek.

 Charron teared up and said it was the highlight of her 24 years on the force.

"It seems like something made up.  It was just incredible," Givens said. "I honestly don't know why I decided to follow her, but I did.  It makes me wonder – how do they know to turn to humans when they need help.

Life is precious.

    Tree Project update: thanks to Diane McClug in Plano I am looking into some possibilities.

    November 4, Sunday Mass of Remembrance, i.e., remembering family members & friends no longer with us, tying it in with the All Saints feast.  We are talking about putting pictures & candles on a table on the stage or just on the stage.  Other ideas are welcome.

    Any adults or families interested in a spiritual growth program after Masses during the winter?  Jane Williams has offered to coordinate it.  I may even get to sit in occasionally.  J.S.

    I am searching for a job for one of our own, Rick Turner.  The last 8 years he has worked as a night warehouse man for Home Depot, which is now laying off numerous workers.  Does anyone have a lead on this kind of work or something similar?  He can do fork lift work, night work, etc. A good man. 

    See you Sunday.
