FROM YOUR PASTOR

This Weekend we welcome our RCIA SISTERS AND BROTHERS into the full community of the CATHOLIC CHURCH…WELCOME HOME!

Today, YOU become a Disciple of Jesus Christ!

And I want to thank Lauren Scheller, our Faith Formation Coordinator, your Sponsors, your Family, and your Friends whose lives bear witness to their faith, and why they are Catholics.

Saint Paul teaches that to be a Christian means to live in a radically different way than the way offered by the secular society that surrounds us. Being a Christian means acquiring a new mind and heart—the mind and heart of Jesus Christ —as we journey toward God’s Kingdom.

Over the last nine months, through a very difficult time in our World, together we have encountered Jesus through Sacred Scripture, immersion into the Tradition of the Catholic Christian community, and the discovery of the Risen Jesus in the Seven Sacraments. This beautiful ancient Rite that we experience today...in its original order – BAPTISM CONFIRMATION EUCHARIST... is a true conversion, a transformation...from being of the world to being of God...the culmination of your study, exploration, faith-sharing, and faith formation.

And it began with YOU... through the movement of the Holy Spirit. YOU came here seeking more in your Spiritual Journey. Then YOU were accept-ed into the Worshiping Community. Then YOU spent time learning and being formed in the Traditions and Doctrine of the Catholic Church. Then YOU were chosen to receive the Sacraments of Initiation.

And now YOU, with YOUR NEW CHURCH FAMILY, will continue to explore the deep mystery of our Faith and help build the reign of God on Earth as INTENTIONAL DISCIPLES!

PRAISE GOD!

Today is NOT THE END of your Journey, but the BEGINNING OF A LIFETIME JOURNEY. The same SPIRIT that brought YOU here nine months ago is now alive in you...bring YOU to the next level -- a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST...BODY, BLOOD, SOUL, AND DIVINITY...a relationship with the One who knew YOU from the Beginning of Time...the One who wants YOU to spend eternity with HIS HEAV-ENLY FATHER.

TODAY, THE HOLY TRINITY IS ALIVE IN YOU!

But this Journey continues to unfold...through the Holy Spirit...

That is why ALL we do begins with the Sign of the Cross.

In BAPTISM, YOU and I are marked with the Cross -- the one Jesus carried and the personal Cross he asks each of us to carry -- as the outward sign of the Christian way of facing life.

But this Journey continues to unfold...through the Holy Spirit...

It is the Sacrament of Reconciliation that determines the efficacy of all the other Sacraments in your life. The State of Grace in your Soul greets each Sacrament. If your Soul is clouded with sin, we diminish the Spiritual Nourishment God wants to give us. GRACE BUILDS UPON GRACE.

But this Journey continues to unfold...through the Holy Spirit…

In CONFIRMATION, it is the Holy Spirit who brings to fulfillment in YOU the FRUITS AND GIFTS necessary for the JOURNEY OF YOUR LIFE. In this Sacrament, YOU are anointed with the Holy Spirit who keeps YOU connected to Jesus and makes YOU want to be like him as you accept the MISSION GOD PLANNED FOR YOUR LIFE FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME...allowing Him to work WITH YOU and THROUGH YOU...for yourself and others.

But this Journey continues to unfold...through the Holy Spirit...

In the EUCHARIST, we experience the SOURCE AND SUMMIT of Our Faith. The REAL PRESENCE OF JESUS in the Eucharist satisfies the deepest desires of our hearts for the One who loves us, for the One who saved us, for the One who intercedes for us, and for the One who knows us better than we know ourselves.

But this Journey continues to unfold...through the Holy Spirit...

This is YOU – our RCIA Sisters and Brothers, and the Church Families of The Cathedral Basilica and St Elizabeth, who are beloved Children of God, chosen for Christ, living in God's Mercy, reflected in his Love -- the Body and Blood of his Son in the Eucharist, to give YOU the Spiritual Nourish-ment to be his DISCIPLE in your everyday life...

As we accompany each other on the path that leads to God's Glory...

LIVE IT!

+May God Bless You and Keep You+

“The cross is the badge that shows who we are: our speaking, thinking, looking, working is under the sign of the cross, that is under the sign of the love of Jesus to the end. ...Receive the sign of the cross on your ears to hear the voice of the Lord”; “On the eyes to see the splendor of the face of God”; “On the mouth, to answer the word of God”; “On the chest, because Christ dwells through faith in your hearts”; “On the shoulders, to sup-port the gentle yoke of Christ."-- Pope Francis

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Pray for Us

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Our neighbors are the Master Gardeners behind the Urban Garden movement that has transformed long-neglected back yards like ours into fecund, flourishing farms. This is the eighth year they have labored in the spring chill and the summer heat to bring delicious food out of what was once our prickly lawn. Each week they load up the produce and take it to food banks around town. One hundred people eat out of our back yard every summer and fall. The mortifying truth is that, ten years ago, I had no idea where food came from. I’d never planted a garden, and so had never had the grace that comes from digging in dirt, planting, watering, and---ugh---weeding a little plot of ground, “giving seed to the one who sows, and bread to the one who eats” (Is. 55:10). That, come to think of it, is exactly the method given to us throughout our lives---a little love, a little sun, a little careful pruning and planting of the Word in our hearts---that has brought us safe to this day, where we take the time to read commentaries like this on the scriptures that are such food for our souls. What kind of seeds were planted in your heart that have borne fruit in you? I love asking people I admire---people who do generous, hard work in order to relieve suffering, or bring kindness, to anyone who asks---just exactly how they became who they are. The seed, scattered and sown that was planted in you, or maybe was never directly planted but blew your way, will be producing fruit long after you have gone to God. Keep weeding.

How have you grown in wonder at the abundant goodness of God?

SPIRITUAL FORMATION

Saint Philip Neri, Pray for Us

Saint of the Week

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha

The blood of martyrs is the seed of saints. Nine years after the Jesuits Isaac Jogues and Jean de Lelande were tomahawked by Iroquois warriors, a baby girl was born near the place of their martyrdom, Auriesville, New York.

Her mother was a Christian Algon-quin, taken captive by the Iroquois and given as wife to the chief of the Mohawk clan, the boldest and fiercest of the Five Nations. When she was four, Tekakwitha lost her parents and little brother in a smallpox epidemic that left her disfigured and half blind. She was adopted by an uncle, who succeed-ed her father as chief. He hated the coming of the Blackrobes—Jesuit missionaries—but could do noth-ing to them because a peace treaty with the French required their pres-ence in villages with Christian cap-tives. She was moved by the words of three Blackrobes who lodged with her uncle, but fear of him kept her from seeking instruction. Tekakwitha refused to marry a Mohawk brave, and at 19 finally got the courage to take the step of converting. She was baptized with the name Kateri–Catherine–on Easter Sunday.

Now she would be treated as a slave. Because she would not work on Sunday, Kateri received no food that day. Her life in grace grew rapidly. She told a missionary that she often meditated on the great dignity of being baptized. She was powerfully moved by God’s love for human beings and saw the dignity of each of her people.

She was always in danger, for her conversion and holy life creat-ed great opposition. On the advice of a priest, Kateri stole away one night and began a 200-mile walking journey to a Christian Indian village at Sault St. Louis, near Montreal.

For three years she grew in holiness under the direction of a priest and an older Iroquois woman, giving herself totally to God in long hours of prayer, in charity, and in strenuous penance. At 23, Kateri took a vow of virginity, an unprecedented act for an Indian woman whose future depended on being married. She found a place in the woods where she could pray an hour a day—and was accused of meeting a man there!

Her dedication to virginity was instinctive: Kateri did not know about religious life for women until she visited Montreal. Inspired by this, she and two friends wanted to start a community, but the local priest dissuaded her. She humbly accepted an “ordinary” life. She practiced extremely severe fasting as penance for the conversion of her nation. Kateri Tekakwitha died the afternoon before Holy Thursday. Witnesses said that her emaciated face changed color and became like that of a healthy child. The lines of suffering, even the pockmarks, disappeared and the touch of a smile came upon her lips. She was beatified in 1980 and canon-ized in 2012.
