At the rec- tory, he met an elderly priest who was wearing an emer- gency medical technician’s jacket, watching TV news reports and waiting by the telephone in case his help was needed at the disaster site a few miles away. “Are you waiting in case God calls?” Father Beidelman asked the pilgrims in his homily. “Are you waiting for wher- ever God might lead you? As people of faith … are we standing ready to lift this fallen world, this world that yearns for God’s grace and redemption? Are we standing ready to transform it? “Our hearts are heavy,” he said. “As we hold in our hearts the thousands of people that suffer and mourn this day, as we are filled with anxiety, let us stand poised and confident in the consolation, compassion and power of our God to go where we are called. May God keep his loving hand upon each of us and upon all on this sad day. May the violence and the bloodshed and the killing stop now, and may our prayers be with those who desperately need our support.” Father Beidelman, pastor of St. Michael Parish in Brookville and Holy Guardian Angels Parish in Cedar Grove, also offered the memorial Mass for Msgr. Joseph F. Schaedel’s father, whose funeral Mass was celebrated on Sept. 11 at Holy Name Church in Beech Grove.
