St. Joseph Parish The Vigil April 14th, 2019

ROONEY TUNES: PALM SUNDAY: This weekend brings us to the beginning of that most sacred time in the Church’s liturgical year. Holy Week calls each of us to a more intense preparation for the celebration of the Paschal Triduum. ‘Triduum’ refers to any three-day period of prayer; the word comes from Latin meaning ‘three days’. The Paschal (Easter) Triduum is at the heart of the Easter celebration: the evening feast of Holy Thursday; Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Starting with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, and the Mandatum (washing of feet) at 7:00 pm, Holy Thursday ends with the stripping of the altar and the procession to the altar of repose. This year the altar of repose will be located in the dining room. This will be open for prayer and adoration until Mid-night. The morning of Holy Thursday, the priests of the Archdiocese will gather with the Archbishop and the people of the Arch-diocese at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral. During that Mass, the Holy Oils will be blessed and distributed. After the Archbish-op’s homily, the priests and Bishops will re-new their commitment to the work of the priesthood. Good Friday is marked by the ritual of unveiling and venerating the wood of the Cross. Also the reading of the Passion and receiving Holy Communion. The Liturgy of The Lord’s Passion will begin at 12:00 noon on Good Friday. On Holy Saturday, we’ll have the blessing of the food baskets in church at 12:00 noon. The pinnacle of the Easter Triduum is the Easter Vigil – ‘the mother of all vigils’. The Vigil will begin at 9:00 Holy Saturday night. If you have never been to the Vigil, I’d strongly encourage you

to come this year! Partly celebrated in the dark, then in candlelight, then with every light in the house on full blast! It is truly a beautiful ritual, full of symbolism. This year Jolynn Anderson, who has been going through the RCIA, will be baptized at the Vigil. We pray every blessing for Jolynn, her husband Rich and their son Jacob. CARYLL HOUSELANDER 1901-54: Last week I shared a short quote from this British poet and mystic. During her relatively short life Houselander was consider to be neurotic. She suffered terribly from panic attacks and fear of strangers. She had three mystical experiences during her life time which convinced her that Christ is to be found in all people, even those whom the world shunned because they didn’t conform to certain standards of piety. She wrote that if we go looking for Christ in only the saintly people of the world, we won’t find him! Houselander was a smoker. She enjoyed her liquor and had a razor sharp tongue. So, there’s hope for us yet! My fondness for Houselander began many years ago after reading her book ‘The Reed of God’. The book gives us a lovely picture of the very human side of Our Lady, as an empty reed waiting for God’s music to be played through her. From her book ‘Mother of Christ’: “Only love can give life. Only Christ’s love can redeem and forgive and illumine. Only Christ’s love can waken the world from apathy to wonder. Only Christ’s love can quicken the world with new life. Love is given only in our gift of ourselves. There is no other way.” Praying you a Blessed Triduum! Stephen Rooney.

Faith Formation Corner

Adult Bible Study Program Join us as we begin a six-week study focusing on the book of Acts. This course is a great place to start if you are new to reading the Bible, or just need a refresher. The acts of the apostles, better known to us as Acts, is the story of the birth of the church. In Acts, Jesus departs, the Spirit descends, and a dynamic new faith is born. We meet St. Paul and travel with him on his missionary journeys. We discover that the greatest acts of the apostles are actually a result of the work of the Holy Spirit—the conversions of hearts and lives every-where. When: Fridays after 8:30am Mass on April 26, May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 Repeated Mondays at 6:30pm from April 29, May 6, 13, 20, June 3, 10 Where: St. Joseph Parish Center, across Elm Street from the church Pre Registration can be done to me at [email protected] or by calling the parish office at 734-676-9082. Youth Faith Formation Program Registration for the 2019-20 Faith Formation year has begun. Please contact the Parish Office for a registration packet. We welcome all new and existing families to register at this time. Vacation Bible School is a great opportunity for children going into grades K-8 to experience the Love of God in an exciting and fun way. Save the date for July 22-25 from 6-8:30 for this awesome adventure. This is a highly popular summertime activity, open to the community and free to all.

Newspapers, television sta-tions, media outlets, and radio pro-grams are all important ways for us to get our news and infor-mation. Of course these are the old fashioned ways; the hum of news and information for many (especially the young) happens through a laundry list of newer technology like facebook and Youtube. (If you don’t know who PewDiePie is then you can officially consider yourself old-school). The unexpected changes in the way news is conveyed has become a reality with blogs and podcasts and twitter. At one point Jon Stewart’s comedy routine on “The Daily Show” was the most watched news program. One of our nation’s most cherished and important freedoms is the Freedom of the Press, where reporters and other fact-finders are given the means to tell us sto-ries and uncover details that reveal the truth.

Now, many of our more traditional news sources have de-veloped some serious problems. Lots of newspapers and television stations have traditionally leaned one way or the other in their social commentary, unspoken allegiance, and political perspectives. Howev-er, this tint of bias has grown into an unacceptable slant of the news being reported, which can seriously taint the truth that is being pre-sented, especially among the major cable news stations (for both liber-al and conservative programming). Catholics must be smart enough to avoid being swayed by slogans and rhetoric from all news sources which can then sometimes de-scend into pure propaganda. We need to look at the bigger picture

when getting the news. We need to allow multiple perspectives and watch many television stations when assessing the facts. This means especially including time for the programs or stations we disa-gree with or find irritating.

Polarization has had a neg-ative impact on our government, our country, and even our Church. Demonizing people on “the other side” has only hardened the effects of this polarization. So now, con-troversy, explosive disagreements, and reactionary attitudes are hap-pening about things in our nation (and sometimes things in our Church) because people are so di-vided. Exaggerated news reports as well as stations substituting speculation for facts only fuel and fortify these divisions. We all need to talk to people who are different, listen to opinions we dislike, and also respect those who disagree with us. We will never hear the truth if we live in a media echo chamber with only one source of news.

In the Scripture reading for Palm Sunday, Pontius Pilate is getting his news from several sources. And, he is trying to decide whom he should listen to before making his final judgment. Through the official lines of communication, Caiaphas (on the Jewish religion side) and Herod (on the Jewish po-litical side) are both very thumbs down on this Jesus that Pilate has on trial. Pilate talks to the accused man Himself, but Jesus doesn’t make things easy for Pontius Pilate. On the domestic front, even Pi-late’s wife tries to inform him, yet her input is hardly verifiable when she is getting her facts straight

from a dream. Pilate wants facts that are more definite and con-crete. This is what he gets from the crowd that cries out for Jesus’ death. This howling mob even ups the ante (with pointed and con-crete threats that play off of Pi-late’s own fear and prejudice) when they claim he will be consid-ered “No friend of Caesar” if he lets Jesus live. Who is Pilate to be-lieve? Jesus boils everything down for him; it’s all about the truth. Jesus says that His whole life has been shaped around one goal: “to testify to the truth.” Pilate’s dismissive response? “What’s truth?” We 21st century Catholics need to answer that timeless ques-tion for ourselves and for the tan-gled-up news reporting times that we live in.

Adjusting to modern news changes makes this more challeng-ing. Our own Archdiocese of De-troit “Michigan Catholic” newspa-per is now on the internet. The old hands-on, made out of paper, newspapers are disappearing (along with magazines, and other periodicals). There are certainly some holdouts that provide paper and internet versions of their sto-ries. You certainly cannot get the full picture of what is really hap-pening in the Catholic Church or grasp the full meaning of Church events without receiving infor-mation from the National Catholic Reporter. There are too many pub-lications and websites and blogs and opinion posts for me to review them all here but we need to be smart in the way we get news.

Reverence Every Person Continued

We are excited that spring is finally upon us! Spring in fourth grade means field trips! Our first field trip was actually a pilgrimage. We began with a tour of St. Anne’s Church in Detroit. St. Anne’s is not only the second-oldest operating parish in the United States but also the burial site of Father Gabriel Richard. If you don’t know a lot about this amazing priest, we recommend you go online and learn about him. We also had the privilege of visiting the Solanus Casey Center. We read “Magnificent Failure” (a biography of Blessed Solanus Casey), which prepared us well for the tour. We were privileged to have our own Dennae Cataldo (St. Joseph’s Director of Faith Formation) as our docent! She taught us so much about the life of this holy and humble Capuchin priest. Our second trip was to Lansing with the third grade class. We had a guided tour of the State Capitol followed by a tour of the Michigan History Museum. Both were fascinating and enjoyed by the students and parent chaperones alike. Stop by the school to check out the fourth graders’ hand-drawn ‘Stations of the Cross’ posters outside our classroom. They truly depict the passion of our Lord. God bless and a Happy and Blessed Easter to all!

Mrs. Czarnecki and the SJS Fourth Graders

If we live in a time when even some of the most conserva-tive loyal Catholic media and tele-vision channels think it is accepta-ble to tear apart bulwarks of Catholic structure and tradition (shamelessly attacking the pope) then where are we to turn? If you want to know how important free-dom of the press is then I suggest you consider the facts (published in the Detroit Free Press) about a journalist who was threatened by police, and told she would be ar-rested if she reported on a story. This Arizona reporter founded her own newspaper, was first to report

a murder, uncovered of the activity of drug dealers, reported on a mountain lion running loose, and followed leads on a bank robbery, while defying police pressure not to run her stories. Hilde Kate Lysiak was 12 years old and had joined the Society of Professional Journal-ists two years previously. You can read her online news stories at or-angestreetnew.com where she told the drug dealers threatening her, “You should know by now that I won’t be intimidated!” We would do well to learn from her respect for the Freedom of the Press and her uninhibited way of testifying to

the truth.

Peace and Blessings, Scott Anastasia


Daily Readings and Reflections

April 14th PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF

THE LORD Hats off to Jesus’ message

Imagine a baseball-cap seller in the first century. Further imagine the catchy phrases on the brim of his

wares: “The last will be first.” “Let me wash your feet.” “Love your enemies.”

“Bless those who hurt you.” “Be like the children.” “Feed my sheep.” “Take

up your cross.” “The humble will be exalted.” “Blessed are the meek.” Who’s going to buy this misguided

fellow’s hats? The rest of us want to boast, not bow. This guy doesn’t get it.

He needs to get into another line of work. Would you wear a hat that says:

“I come to serve”? Today's readings:

Procession: Luke 19:28-40 (37); Mass: Isaiah 50:4-7; Philippians

2:6-11; Luke 22:14—23:56 (38). “I am among you as the one who

serves.” April 15th

MONDAY OF HOLY WEEK Oil of gladness

In the Hebrew Bible, we read of kings, priests, and prophets being anointed by the pouring of oil on them. In the

Catholic tradition, oils are used in the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the Sick. We also use oil to bless altars and oth-er objects. But why? Its purpose is to recognize the presence of the Holy in the person or thing anointed. To be

anointed is to be set apart as special, cleansed, healed, and strengthened.

Reflect on how you've been marked as belonging to God and called to share

in the holy mission of Christ. Today's readings:

Isaiah 42:1-7; John 12:1-11 (257). “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard

and anointed the feet of Jesus." April 16th

TUESDAY OF HOLY WEEK Don’t fail to find God

One of the lessons of Holy Week is that God draws grace and goodness

out of any situation—even one that to us looks like a complete failure. God uses all of what is—every person’s

strength and weakness, every experi-ence, encounter, accident, war or act of kindness, natural beauty or disas-ter—to make visible God’s love and

sustaining presence in the world. The

psalmist put it this way: “For darkness is as light” to God. The message of

Holy Week is one for the entire year. Make a habit of looking for the ways God redeems our “failures.” See how

grace abounds. Today's readings:

Isaiah 49:1-6; John 13:21-33, 36-38 (258).

“I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the

ends of the earth.” April 17th

WEDNESDAY OF HOLY WEEK Suffer the servant

Holy Week highlights the “Servant Songs” found in the Book of Isaiah.

These are lyrical poems written about a servant whom God calls to leader-

ship but the people abuse. The servant sacrifices himself for the sake of the people and is vindicated by God. The

traditional Jewish interpretation is that the servant is a metaphor for the Isra-elites. Christians see the servant as a prefiguring of Jesus and the servant’s

suffering foretelling the Passion of Christ. Perhaps both are true. In these

sacred days let your heart be filled with reverence for the suffering serv-

ant. Today's readings:

Isaiah 50:4-9a; Matthew 26:14-25 (259).

“I have not rebelled, have not turned back. I gave my back to those who

beat me . . . . My face I did not shield.” April 18th

HOLY THURSDAY; EVENING MASS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

The Triduum enchilada Tonight’s Mass of the Lord’s Supper

begins with the Sign of the Cross. Take note of it because you won’t see an-

other one for three days until the blessing and dismissal from the Easter Vigil. The reason for this is because the Triduum, the Three Days of Easter, is of one piece. It begins tonight and is

carried through Good Friday and on to the Easter Vigil. So Catholics enjoy

staying “in the zone” of celebration for the whole enchilada. Every thought, word, and action is wrapped in the

awareness of the death and Resurrec-tion of Jesus Christ. The Triduum is

moving and deeply enriching, so join in fully!

Today's readings: Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14; 1 Corinthians

11:23-26; John 13:1-15 (39).

“If I, therefore, the master and teach-er, have washed your feet, you ought

to wash one another's feet.” April 19th

FRIDAY OF THE LORD'S PASSION (GOOD FRIDAY); DAY OF ABSTINENCE

It is finished—and it has just begun We can look high and low but we will not find a Catholic Mass celebrated

anywhere on this day. There is a Good Friday service, to be sure, but there is no Mass. However, we will gather in

churches throughout the world to hear scripture tell of the trial, death, and burial of Jesus. We will pray the pre-

scribed 10 prayers of intercession. We will walk in procession to venerate the cross. And, on this second of the three sacred days this week that are known

as the Triduum, we will receive the Eucharist, consecrated at the Mass of the Last Supper the night before. On this day of prayer and remembrance, do one thing to imitate the love and

compassion of Jesus. Today's readings:

Isaiah 52:13—53:12; Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9; John 18:1—19:42 (40).

“And after this, Joseph of Arimathea . . . asked Pilate if he could remove the

body of Jesus.”

April 20th HOLY SATURDAY; EASTER VIGIL

A vigil for the ages The Easter Vigil Mass we celebrate today has not always been popular,

having been an institution in the early centuries of the church, falling from

practice in the Middle Ages, and then re-emerging around Vatican II. Today this “mother of all vigils” (as Saint Au-

gustine called it) moves people through its intense symbolism of fire,

light, dark, incense, and song. The Easter Vigil reminds us that faith isn’t

just an idea; it is a full-body experience and way of life. Whether or not you

attend the Easter Vigil, you can allow your faith to be a full-sensory experi-ence, perceiving God in touch, song,

aroma, and beauty. Today's readings:

Genesis 1:1—2:2; Genesis 22:1-18; Exodus 14:15—15:1; Exodus 15:1-2, 3-

4, 5-6, 17-18; Isaiah 54:5-14; Isaiah 55:1-11; Baruch 3:9-15, 32—4:4; Ezeki-

el 36:16-17a, 18-28; Romans 6:3-11; Luke 24:1-12 (41).

“You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.”


For Our Military Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for their selfless acts they perform. Pray for us in our time of need. Amen.
