The proposal is addressed to all religious leaders and to people around the world to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus (Covid- 19) pandemic. The appeal released on Sat- urday, 2 May, reads: “Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. While we reaffirm the role of medicine and scientific research in fighting this pandemic, we should not forget to seek refuge in God, the All-Creator, as we face such severe crisis. Therefore, we call on all peoples around the world to do good deeds, observe fast, pray, and make devout sup- plications to God Almighty to end this pandemic. Each one from wherever they are and ac- cording to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should im- plore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world, to rescue us all from this adversity, to inspire scientists to find a cure that can turn back this disease, and to save the whole world from the health, economic, and human repercussions of this serious pan- demic.

The Papal Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Antonio Mennini, speaking on behalf of Pope Francis, said: “It gives me great joy to be here today for the installation of your new Archbishop, especially as you have chosen this particular day of St Joseph the Worker. This marks a new beginning for you all.” Following the Gospel, Archbishop Malcolm McMahon gave an inspiring homily during which he highlighted the Hillsborough inquests as a shining example of the search for truth. Archbishop McMahon said that justice will be done for the 96 people who lost their lives and for their relatives. He said the families of the victims had shown a dignity over the last quarter century, which was an example to everybody. "God has endowed the people of Liverpool, Lancashire and the Isle of Man with many great gifts, not least constancy in our Catholic faith,” he said. “The Martyrs of Lancashire testify to their love of Jesus’ name and their fidelity to the truth.

Six years ago, Pope Benedict issued Summorum Pontificum, which allowed for the usage of the Tridentine Mass on a wider scale in the Church. In his accompanying letter to the bishops, the Holy Father stated that “the two Forms of the usage of the Roman Rite can be mutually enriching.” Do you see concrete benefits that have come to the Church in the past several years because ofSummorum Pontificum?

Matt Siegman Parochial Vicar Mass Times Sacraments and Stewardship Monday - Friday When I talk about stewardship, I often think of the 6:30am & 8am “time, talent, and treasure” formula that people my age learned Thursday 5:30pm growing up in Catholic schools. More recently, the diocese has (Extraordinary Form) recognized that stewardship is “the grateful response of a Saturday Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God’s gifts and 6:30am & 4pm shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor.” We can easily Sunday apply this definition to our time, talent, and treasure: After we 6:30am, 9am (streamed), focus our attention, we recognize the vast multitude of gifts we receive from God 11am, & 5:30pm every day. Confession When we try to apply that definition of stewardship to the rest of our lives, Monday - Friday though, it gets a little harder. Time, talent, and treasure give us a nice, clean 7:30-7:50am workspace. But if we limit our stewardship to these categories, we run the risk of Saturday 3-3:50pm getting ourselves stuck in a box. In reality, the entirety of our life is a gift from God. Sunday during Masses The only worthy response is to give ourselves entirely over to God. We can’t settle if a priest is available. for just giving God one hour of my Sunday. That’s only 0.6% of the week, for those who are counting.

I had the great pleasure of attending this event and of witnessing first-hand the extraordinary fervor of these dedicated Churchmen. Benin has been blessed with a growing number of vocations in recent years. To meet the demand for priestly formation, it has gone from having a single seminary 15 years ago to now having three. During this time, HLI has been an active part of semi- nary formation on life issues, and thanks in large part to the efforts of HLI Director of Francophone Africa, George Wirnkar, each one of these seminaries includes HLI’s Seminarians for Life International program. You will also read in this newsletter about the very effective presence of HLI and its Affiliates at the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly held in Washington, D.C. earlier this year.
