Salmo 112:4-5, 6-7, 8-9 1 Corintios 2:1-5 Mateo 5:13-16
Isaiah stresses evangelization as action. We
will make our God known by our works: feeding
the hungry, sheltering the homeless. When we
do these things we show forth the God we be-
lieve in. For God above all is merciful and cares
for all creatures, especially for the poor.
Paul speaks of his weakness as a part of his
preaching the gospel. God makes use of our
weakness as well. God chooses us in all our
many facets, including our weaknesses. We can-
not excuse ourselves from being signs of evange-
lization because we do not know enough, or we
are not good enough. God’s wisdom shines forth
precisely through our weakness.
Jesus tells us the true end of evangelization.
We are to be signs of God’s love and goodness.
Evangelization is not about converting people or
getting more members for the church; that is a
by product. We are called first and foremost to
be a light for others by which they might come
to know our God.
Isaías enfatiza la evangelización como acción. Har-
emos que nuestro Dios sea conocido por nuestras
obras: alimentar a los hambrientos, albergar a las
personas sin hogar. Cuando hacemos estas cosas,
mostramos al Dios en el que creemos. Porque Dios,
sobre todo, es misericordioso y se preocupa por
todas las criaturas, especialmente por los pobres.
Pablo habla de su debilidad como parte de su
predicación del evangelio.
Dios hace uso de nuestra debilidad también. Dios
nos elige en todas nuestras facetas, incluidas
nuestras debilidades. No podemos excusarnos de
ser signos de evangelización porque no sabemos lo
suficiente o no somos lo suficientemente buenos.
La sabiduría de Dios brilla precisamente a través
de nuestra debilidad.
Jesús nos dice el verdadero fin de la evange-
lización.
Debemos ser signos del amor y la bondad de Dios.
La evangelización no se trata de convertir per-
sonas u obtener más miembros para la iglesia; eso
es un subproducto. Estamos llamados, ante todo, a
ser una luz para otros a través de la cual puedan
llegar a conocer a nuestro Dios.

Catholic Charities will hold their major fundraiser, "The Partners in Hope Dinner," on Thursday, March 12, 2020 at the Benton Convention Center, 301 West Fifth Street, Win-ston-Salem, NC 27101. The cocktail reception begins at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m. "Parking is free at the Sixth-Cherry Trade Parking Deck, right across from the Benton Convention Center! The parking gates will remain up to expedite quick and free exit!" All of the money donated during this fundraiser is used in the Piedmont Triad Area, and many of us are aware of situ-ations where Catholic Charities has made a substantial dif-ference! The dinner is complimentary; however, you will be invited to make a donation to help make the "Partners in Hope" Dinner another major success which strengthens families, builds communities and works toward reducing poverty in our region! Last year, a number of our parishion-ers served as Table Captains, and we are hopeful that you will again provide your service. All former Table Captains should have received an invitation directly from Catholic Charities to serve this year! If you did not receive commu-nication from Catholic Charities, please contact them as soon as possible, or you can be in touch with Ms. Mildred Wood or Dr. Betty Alexander. Your services are wanted and needed! Last year, we had more than four tables, and we can certainly exceed that number this year! Thank you!

Congregation for the Causes of the Saints
Today the process proceeds as follows: When a per-
son dies who has "fame of sanctity" or "fame of mar-
tyrdom," the Bishop of the Diocese usually initiates
the investigation. One element is whether any spe-
cial favor or miracle has been granted through this
candidate saint's intercession. The Church will also
investigate the candidate's writings to see if they
possess "purity of doctrine," essentially, nothing he-
retical or against the faith. All of this information is
gathered, and then a transumptum, a faithful copy,
duly authenticated and sealed, is submitted to the
Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. The per-
son may be declared a Servant of God
"Servant of God" is the title given to a deceased per-
son of the Catholic Church whose life and works are
being investigated in consideration for official recog-
nition by the Pope and the Catholic Church as a
saint in Heaven.
Once the cause is accepted by the Congregation, fur-
ther investigation is conducted. If the candidate was
a martyr, the Congregation determines whether he
died for the faith and truly offered his life in a sacri-
fice of love for Christ and the Church. In other cases,
the congregation examines to see if the candidate
was motivated by a profound charity towards his
neighbor, and practiced the virtues in an exemplary
manner and with heroism. Throughout this investi-
gation the "general promoter of the faith," or devil's
advocate, raises objections and doubts which must
be resolved. Once a candidate is declared to have
lived life with heroic virtue, he may be declared Ven-
erable.
The next step is beatification. A martyr may be beat-
ified and declared "Blessed" by virtue of martyrdom
itself. Otherwise, the candidate must be credited
with a miracle. In verifying the miracle, the Church
looks at whether God truly performed a miracle and
whether the miracle was in response to the interces-
sion of the candidate saint. Once beatified, the can-
didate saint may be venerated but with restriction to
a city, diocese, region, or religious family. According-
ly, the Pope would authorize a special prayer, Mass,
or proper Divine Office honoring the Blessed. After
beatification, another miracle is needed for canoni-
zation and the formal declaration of sainthood.

Venerable Fr. Augustus Tolton Augustus was born
to two slaves, Peter Paul Tolton and his wife Martha
Jane, on April 1, 1854. With the outbreak of the War
between the States, Peter Paul hoped to gain freedom
for his family and escaped to the North where he
served in the Union Army, and was one of the 180,000
blacks who were killed in the war. His widow decided
that she would see her husband’s quest for freedom
realized in his children. After managing a crossing of
the Mississippi River she made her way to Illinois and
settled in the small town of Quincy. When her children
attempted to attend Catholic school, parents of the oth-
er school children were not happy, so to avoid a messy
situation, the School Sisters of Notre Dame decided to
tutor the Tolton children privately.
As Augustus grew older he began displaying an inter-
est in the priesthood. His parish priests, Fathers
McGuirr and Richardt, encouraged the young man in
this aspiration and tried without
success, to enroll him in several diocesan seminaries. If
the seminaries would not have him, they would begin
Augustus’ education in theology themselves. Finally, in
1878, the Franciscan College in Quincy accepted him,
and two years later he was enrolled at the college of the
Propaganda Fidei in Rome. After completing his cours-
es there, Augustus Tolton was ordained on April 24,
1886. His first assignment was Saint Joseph’s church
in his home town of Quincy, where he served for two
years and gained enormous respect from many of the
German and Irish parishioners. He was later given a
parish on the south side of the city, Saint Augustine’s
church, which would later become Saint Monica’s. This
would be Father Tolton’s parish for life, and it also be-
came the center from which he ministered to all the
Black Catholics of Chicago. He addressed the First
Catholic Colored Congress in Washington DC in 1889.
In 2015, the Cause for Canonization of Fr. Augustus
Tolton, begun in 2010, received affirmation of the jurid-
icial validity of the Archdiocesan inquiry into his life
and virtues by the Congregation for Causes of Saints,
and Fr. Tolton received the distinction of Servant of
God.
