PENTECOST SUNDAY~ MAY 15, 2016

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK A SPECIAL VISITOR FROM THE VATICAN Saint Joseph Parish was greatly blessed this past G. K. Chesterton’s great friend Hilaire Belloc Tuesday when the Reverend Monsignor Alfred Xuereb was so close to him that George Bernard Shaw celebrated the 8:30 Mass at our church. Monsignor referred to them as the Chesterbelloc. Both men had Xuereb has served three : as Honorary Prelate in many friends and admirers, but they were very different the Prefecture of the with St. John in temperament. Chesterton was greatly loved for his Paul II; as private secretary to Pope Benedict XVI; and affectionate ways even by his most resolute opponents. now as the first Prelate Secretary of the Secretariat of the Belloc, on the other hand, took no prisoners in his Economy, a new department of the formed controversial writings. by . When a bishop of the Church of England who was known for his controversially non-traditional views (Bishop E. W. Barnes of Birmingham) ordered one of his pastors to remove from his church “all illegal Ornaments … and especially a Female Figure with a Child,” Belloc reacted with all the zeal of a medieval knight coming to the defense of his lady whose honor needed defending. He composed the following verses, which he called the “Ballade of Illegal Ornaments”:

When that the Eternal deigned to look On us poor folk to make us free, He chose a Maiden, whom He took From Nazareth in Galilee; Since when the Islands of the Sea, The Field, the City and the Wild Proclaim aloud triumphantly A Female Figure with a Child. Monsignor Xuereb was visiting his friend and classmate, These Mysteries profoundly shook Angelo Muscat, and his wife Tina (see above)— The Reverend Doctor Leigh, D.D., parishioners of Saint Joseph. The two men had been Who therefore stuck into a Nook classmates in (the island-state south of Sicily) and (or Niche) of his Incumbency reconnected at their class’ 40th reunion last year. (Seven An Image filled with majesty members of their 20-student class became priests.) To represent the Undefiled, The Universal Mother—She— A Female Figure with a Child.

His Bishop, having read a book Which proved as plain as plain could be That all the Mutts had been mistook Who talked about a Trinity, Wrote off at once to Doctor Leigh In manner very far from mild, And said: “Remove them instantly! A Female Figure with a Child!”

Having discharged his literary artillery at the unfortunate prelate, Belloc concluded his poem with this “Envoi,” looking to the time when he himself would be on his deathbed:

Prince Jesus, in mine Agony, Monsignor Xuereb was kind enough to pose with Saint Permit me, broken and defiled, Joseph School eighth graders. He told the students, Through blurred and glazing eyes to see who attended the Mass, just how Pope Francis spends A Female Figure with a Child. an ordinary day in the Vatican. He shared with them

how shocked the Pope was when Vatican staff offered to Msgr. David Hubba shine his shoes. The Pope continues to shine his own. 3

O Mary conceived without sin, Pray for us who have recourse to thee. About this devotion: Saint Joseph parishioner Laura Villena was inspired by the image on the back of the Miraculous Medal which shows twelve stars surrounding a large M. She learned that there was a twelve-star devotion that originated in the 17th and 18th centuries that paid special attention to Mary as Regina Mundi (Queen of the World). She knew of the bible passage, “A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” (Revelations 12: 1b) The devotion above that she created refers to the graces, privileges and charism received by Our Lady from God. In April 2015, a priest suggested that she apply for an imprimatur (permission1 to print) for the prayer and2 it was granted by Archbishop 3 Myers on April 22, 2016. 6
