They have to do with authority. When my own children were teenagers and learning to drive (Oy Vey)! I would give them the keys to the car and tell them that no one else is to drive this car. I put them in charge and handed on my authority to them over the vehicle. I trusted that they were responsible enough to handle this task. Today’s readings have to do with authority being handed down. In the Church this is known as apostolic authority or suc- cession since it was handed down from Jesus to Peter and through the apostles. St. Paul reminds us that God’s commandments can be summed up in “love your neighbor as yourself”. God’s wisdom is beyond anything we can fathom. Finally, our blessed Lord Jesus handed over His authority to Peter and gives him the keys of the kingdom. This is why Peter is our first Pope which means Papa. It is Peter who will now have the authority to be Papa over the new Church. Jesus even changes His name to Peter which means “rock”. The office of “Peter” and the “keys of the Kingdom” have been passed down all the way to our current Pope Francis. This is so cool! We can trace our Church all the way back to Peter and ultimately to Jesus. No other Christian denomination can do that. We have an unbroken line of 266 Popes all the way back to Peter. Think about that for a minute. We know who was Pope in the year 100, or 250, or 480, or even 2014. This was one of the reasons I became a Catholic. If I was going to be a Christian, I wanted to belong to the Church Christ started. Not some church that was started 500 years ago or 100 years ago or by some enthusiastic Bible school graduate who hired a band and rented a warehouse. I wanted the real deal! That is what the Catholic Church is. The authority and Keys of the kingdom have been passed down in an unbroken line for over 2000 years. Whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven…No other Church can claim that nor do they have the authority or keys to do so no matter how well meaning they may be. The Catholic Church is the Church Jesus Christ started and we can prove it through succession. Others cannot. So, this week take some time to think about authority, keys and the glorious Church that you are a part of. Try to resolve differences with others. You are part of the one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and do not be ashamed to say with gusto, “I am a Catholic and proud of it”! Maybe invite someone to Mass with you…Something to think on… and may God richly bless you always. ROBERT GOGGINS Bill & Bobby Lavinder Dave & Joyce Roberts JACK & ESTHER COSTELLO Mary Sullivan GARY GLINESKI Joe & Mary Pat Kasperick PRAY FOR PEACE IN OUR COUNTRY The Helena Area Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus are praying the Rosary each Wednesday at 6:00 pm in various locations in the Helena Deanery.

This is a marriage help program located in about 150 cities in more than 25 countries around the world. It has provided the tools to help 10’s of 1000’s of marriages and families over the last 40+ years. Some couples come to the weekend at the early signs of difficulty.

Offertory: I prayed to my God, I, Daniel, and I said: "Hearken, O Lord, unto the prayers of your servant, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary; look with forgiveness upon this nation over whom your name has been invoked, O God." Communion: Make vows unto the Lord your God, and accomplish them, all you who gather around him to present offerings; to the awesome God who takes away the life of princes; he is greatly feared by all the kings of the earth. THE NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God; begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried; and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified; who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins; I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. 4 5 In the previous monthly period, the Cathedral Parish THE APOSTLES CREED had 1468 registered families with 678 families receiv- ing envelopes and 351 contributing to the upkeep of the parish.

The faithful packed the main sanctuary to witness the two men as Bishop Kagan extended his hands over the men permanently changing their souls, drawing them into the most intimate union any man can enjoy with Christ. During the Rite of Ordination, Bishop Kagan anointed each man’s hands saying, “The Lord Jesus Christ, whom the Father anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, guard and preserve you that you may sanctify the Christian people and off er sacrifi ce to God.” The priest’s hands are anointed in order to sanctify the Christian people. The priest is confi gured to Jesus Christ, our great High Priest, by his sacerdotal ordination. This brings about a new relationship with Christ and to His Church. Ordination so joins the priest to Christ that he acts in Newly-ordained Fr. the person of Christ the Head of the Church; so that Christ’s saving Dominic Bouck gives his fi rst blessing as a work may be eff ective in our day.

Zipfel, Bishop Emeritus died peacefully Sunday, July 14 at a nursing home in St. Louis while under the care of hospice after an extended and debilitating struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 83 years old. His approachable and authentic nature will be how Bishop Zipfel will be remembered during his time as our chief shepherd. Few people ever forgot an encounter with him and his infectious, ever- present smile. We devote this issue of the Dakota Catholic Action to Bishop Zipfel and the gifts he left through his priests, the Catholic schools, his employees and, you, the faithful people of the diocese. Upon his arrival in Bismarck, he stated emphatically, “I tell you that my acceptance of this call is unconditional—in other words, with my whole heart.” And, that is what we remember about our beloved shepherd from some of his very fi rst words—his deep and unconditional love for the people of God. Bishop Zipfel, having been born and raised in the Midwest, understood the vibrant culture of hearty North Dakotans, blending right in with the traditions of food, friendship and fellowship. He was vocations and Catholic education. as comfortable in offi cial meetings His commitment to assigning as he was entertaining a crowd young priests to be chaplains with his impromptu magic tricks. and teach in our Catholic schools The native of Missouri had spent turned around our entire focus to his entire life near the city of St.
