God’s Gladiator Book Signing with Richard S heedwith at the Chancery
Richard Hardy-Sheedwith is the author of the book, God’s Gladiator, and a retired certified public accountant who offers consultation to the
Archdiocese of Atlanta’s finance staff. He resides with his wife, Maria, in Tucker, is a parishioner of Holy Cross Catholic Church, and a
First Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. Richard will be available for a book signing on May 8th at the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s
Chancery from 10:30 am – 4:00 pm. You are invited to stop in for the book signing and a visit with Richard.
God’s Gladiator is about a man who met God like Saul of Tarsus, not on the road to Damascus, but in a hotel room in Germany while about
to betray his fellow colleague. God’s Gladiator is the true story of a self-centered, quick-witted, and determined German immigrant who
climbed up the ladder in the business world. Along the way, he met the Ku Klux Klan, the powerful Odessa Nazi organization, and evaded
a firing squad execution by fascists in Uruguay. The Palestinian Liberation Organization also helped him escape Beirut during a brutal civil
war dressed as a Muslim warrior. It’s the story of a man who turned around his life in prayer and faith using the teachings of the Desert
Fathers and the Sacraments of the Church.

Families In Faith—Gift and Command
Just six sentences make up the total Gospel on this the Fifth Sunday of Easter, and yet these six sentences are
among the most challenging of the New Testament! The Gospel offers u s a glimpse of the final meal of Jesus a nd
the disciples. Filled with love, cognisant of his coming passion and death, the beloved Rabbi stuns his disciples by
washing their feet and calling them friends. Jesu s longed to acknowledge all that had transpired in their years
together and to prepare them for their call and commission--yet into this moment of embrace and reconciliation, grief
and betrayal were manifest in the departure of Judas.
Jesus did not respond with recrimination and anger towards his betrayer. Rather, he turned in trust to the
Father, proclaiming that even now God was glorifying the Son, and the Son, in utter faithfulness, wa s glorifying the
Father. Jesus understood that his entire life was lived for the glorification of the Father, whether healing the sick,
feeding the hungry, raising the dead or living through his Passion, death and Resurrection.
In his final hours Jesu s offered his disciples (and all who will follow in his name) a gift and a new command. His
new commandment is not simply to love but to love as we have been loved by him. We are to take the gift given--the
love of Jesus and the Father--and in turn to love others. This love is not an affection or an emotion. It is not simply a
pleasant behavior toward others in which one is kind, or civil or respectful. The love Jesus gives and commands
goes beyond conventional understanding.
It is a love without boundaries and limits, not reserved for family and friends. not earned or offered with
expectation of return. This love has a breadth and depth to embrace the stranger and the enemy. It has a
disposition toward others that desires their well being, their protection and self worth.
Those who call Jesus “Lord” have received this love. He has taken us to himself, willed our well being over his
own, given us life when death was our destiny. He has loved us with the love he alone has received from the Father-with a love proper to his statu s as only begotten son. This love he shares with us. This love is our gift. We are
commanded to love as we have been loved.
Such a challenge! It will be the mark of discipleship, the sign shown to the world so that it will know we are
Christians. As the feast of Pentecost draws near, let us reflect on the graces we need to fill this great
commandments. May our prayer echo that of St. Augustine as he cried out to God, "Lord, give what you command,
and command what ever you will!"

God creat ed us out of love, and wants us to freely love Him
in return. After our fi rst parents sinned, the Father
continued in His plan to draw us into full relationship with
Him. This plan was accomplished by sending His only Son
to free us from the slavery o f sin and reconcile us to
Himself.
¿Estás interesado en conocer más acerca de la Iglesia
Católica, la liturgia, tradición, etc...?
Eres adulto y necesitas el Sacramento del Bautismo, Primera Comunión o la Confirmación.
