I made their toast the way they like it, let them play in the park an extra ten minutes, or let them go to the movies with their friends and I finished up the chores on my own. And then, it happened: the attitude. The request for the smallest thing from one of them is met with disdain or bewilderment. Sometimes you can be made breathless with the ingratitude of another person who takes so much and with so little shame, only to scoff at the idea that they, too, give even the smallest amount. But if we’re being honest with ourselves, we will admit that we do the exact same thing to God. Haven’t we all been the Israelites in the desert at one point or another? God has parted our Red Sea in some way. He’s led us out of some great trial, given us some great blessings. But then we run into a little resistance somewhere along the way and we throw up our hands. How could you do this to us, Lord? How could you ask this of us? No, I can’t go any further. No, I won’t do any more. Persisting in the blindness to the many ways God continues to protect us is nothing short of a temper tantrum. It robs our Everyday Stewardship of its graciousness, of our ability to accept with joy the trials of life because we are also constantly aware of its blessings.

Robert Eckert 3033690571 Rev. Crispin Kibambe Will be at St. Michael’s 2021 Mission Appeal August 7th & 8th The Mission Appeal for our parish this year is for the Diocese of Kabinda which is located in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa. Without water and electricity, and no paved roads, the diocese is cut-off from the world without access by road, river, or rail. Transport of goods by truck can take 2 or 3 days due to horrible road conditions after heavy rains. Because of the poverty, small parishes do not receive even an average of $50 in Sunday offertory. In spite of all the setbacks, the people live miraculously. Currently, over 50% of the area's population of one million people are Catholic. The Church in the DR Congo needs funds to purchase motorcycles for their priests to reach the numerous parish outstations. Many priests must walk to villages up to 25 to 40 miles away to administer sacraments and celebrate the Eucharist. We invite you to help in serving the less fortunate in the DR Congo who may recognize God's love in your generosity. Please keep the Diocese of Kabinda in your prayers and thank you for your generosity. Donations made by check should be made payable to St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish. Motorcycles previously purchased for the priests in the diocese, are in use and were received with great enthusiasm. The Priests must travel over nearly impassible roads to reach mission stations, and even more motorbikes are needed. The Kabinda Diocese is home to over half a million Catholics in 30 parishes served by 65 priests in a very rural region of the DR Congo. Coming to St. Michael’s This August Saint Pio was born Francesco Forgione in Pietrelcina, Italy, on May 25, 1887. He entered the Capuchin order at age 15 and was ordained a priest in 1910 at the age of 23. During his lifetime, Padre Pio was known for his miraculous powers of healing and knowledge. He bore the stigmata, wounds that correspond to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ. Padre Pio dedicated much of his priesthood to hearing confessions, and people traveled from around the world to see him. Pope John Paul II canonized the Saint in 2002. Stigmata of Love A program with Relics of the Padre Pio is a onehour presentation provided by the Apostolate for Holy Relics (AHR) This program allows the faithful to engage in a unique meditation on the life and legacy of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, while highlighting two of his holy relics along with the relic of the True Cross.

LOUIS WHAT: Relics of St. Pio of Pietrelcina available for public veneration WHEN: Wednesday, September 27, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. WHERE: Assumption (Mattese) Catholic Church (4725 Mattis Road, St. Louis, MO 63128) ST. LOUIS – Assumption (Mattese) Catholic Church (4725 Mattis Road) will host relics for public veneration of the beloved Capuchin priest St. Pio of Pietrelcina, better known as “Padre Pio,” on Wednesday, September 27, from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. The event is one stop on a nationwide tour between September 16 and October 8, 2017. Mass will be offered at 7 p.m. by Most Reverend Mark Rivituso, Auxiliary Bishop, Archdiocese of St. Louis. Padre Pio, a humble Capuchin priest, was blessed by God with the stigmata, the wounds of Christ he bore for 50 years, as well as other gifts such as perfume, bilocation, prophecy, conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People are still being cured through his intercession in ways that cannot be explained by medicine or science. The relics of Padre Pio which will be on display for veneration include his glove, crusts of his wounds, gauze with his blood stains, a lock of his hair, his mantle, and a handkerchief soaked with his sweat hours before he died. Attendees will be able to venerate these relics of St. Pio and learn more about his holy life.

  • Chapter 14 Discernment of Spirits
    Chapter 14 Discernment of Spirits It is indispensable for the direction of souls and for the study of extraordinary mystical phenomena to be able to distinguish the various spirits under which an individual may act or be acted upon. As used here, the word spirit refers to two different types of motivating factors or powers. The spirit of an individual refers to the internal inclination to good or evil, and it manifests itself with such regularity that it must be considered a personal trait. Thus, if a person has a propensity to prayer, he or she is said to possess the spirit of prayer; if there is a tendency to arguments and altercations, he or she is said to possess a spirit of contradiction, etc. Understood in this sense, the spirit of a person is usually the result of both temperament and character. But it is also possible for an individual to come under the influence of a spirit that is extrinsic to the personality, whether from God or the devil. For that reason it is the function of the discernment of spirits to judge whether a given act or repetition of acts flows from the spirit of God, the diabolical spirit, or the spirit of the individual. There are two types of discernment of spirit: acquired and infused. Acquired discernment of spirits is complementary to ordinary spiritual direction and can be cultivated by all who use the proper means. Infused discernment of spirits is a charismatic gift or gratia gratis data, which is granted by God to certain individuals.

  • AMY M. GREEN University of Nevada, Las Vegas “MOTHER IS
    AMY M. GREEN University of Nevada, Las Vegas “MOTHER IS GOD IN THE EYES OF A CHILD:” MARIOLOGY, REVELATION, AND MOTHERS IN SILENT HILL INTRODUCTION s a mainstream, video game-based horror offering, the film Silent Hill (Christoph Gans, 2006) surprises by straying from a safe and Astraightforward narrative. Instead of offering the requisite gory showdowns with the monstrous denizens of the Silent Hill franchise, although such elements certainly do exist, screenwriter Roger Avary offers a complex study of women through a lens of Mariology, the theological study of the Virgin Mary, and the women of the book of Revelation. This focus on hyperdulia, “the ecclesiastical term for the special veneration given to the Virgin Mary,”1 lends symbolic weight especially to the female characters who anchor the film. Further still, the film explores the dichotomy of Mary, Mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. These two women, arguably the two closest to Jesus, offer a further insight of the dichotomies of mother and whore, and of the forgiver and the penitent. The resulting narrative provides several distinct categories of mothering, and the specific ties such forms have to the veneration of the Virgin Mary. The first of these categories has to do with adoptive mothers who, thought they lack a biological connection to their children, feel no less love toward them, and evokes a larger sense of maternal love akin to that the Virgin Mary is most known for, especially within the Catholic church, a deep love for humankind. The second concerns biological motherhood. In relation to the film, this is explored through a mother who betrays her child by giving that daughter over to members of her cult who she surely must suspect will do her harm, then waiting until too late to intervene on her behalf.

  • Padre Pio: a Catholic Priest Who Worked Miracles and Bore the Wounds of Jesus Christ on His Body
    Padre Pio: A Catholic Priest who worked miracles and bore the wounds of Jesus Christ on his body Bro. Michael Dimond, O.S.B. Padre Pio was a Franciscan Capuchin priest who bore the five wounds of Jesus Christ on his body visibly for more than fifty years. Padre Pio was also a seer, mind-reader, prophet, miracle-worker, confessor, mystic, ascetic, and missionary on a world-wide scale.1 Hundreds of books and articles have been written about Padre Pio. Lengthy articles about him have appeared in many magazines including Newsweek, Time, and The New York Times Magazine.2 The event of receiving the Stigmata Having the stigmata means having on one’s body the “marks resembling wounds on the crucified body of Christ.”3 There have only been about sixty accepted instances of the stigmata in the Catholic Church’s history. 4 Padre Pio was the first priest in the history of the Catholic Church to receive the visible stigmata. He had the visible stigmata for over fifty years, and his loss of blood over the years was so great that, according to medical science, he could not have survived for very long – certainly not fifty years.5 Padre Pio 1 Padre Pio actually received the stigmata invisibly on August 14, 1910.6 Padre Pio prayed that his stigmata would remain invisible and hidden from the eyes of men.7 But on September 20, 1918, while making his thanksgiving after a Mass, he received the visible stigmata. He was commanded by his spiritual director to describe everything that happened on that day.

  • The Holy Stigmata of St. Francis
    From the "Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi." In public domain. OF THE SACRED AND HOLY STIGMATA OF ST FRANCIS AND CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS THEREON In this part we will treat, with sundry devout considerations, of the glorious, sacred, and holy stigmata of our blessed father St Francis, which he received from Christ on the holy mountain of Alvernia. And inasmuch as the said stigmata were five, according to the five wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ, therefore this treatise shall have five considerations. The first consideration shall be of the manner in which St Francis came to the holy mountain of Alvernia. The second consideration shall be of his life and conversation with his companions on the same holy mountain. The third consideration shall be of the seraphical apparition, and the impression of the most sacred stigmata. The fourth consideration shall be of the descent of St Francis from Mount Alvernia after he had received the sacred stigmata, and of his return to St Mary of the Angels. The fifth consideration shall be of certain apparitions and divine revelations vouchsafed, after the death of St Francis, to certain holy friars and other devout persons, concerning these sacred and glorious stigmata. OF THE FIRST CONSIDERATION OF THE SACRED, HOLY STIGMATA Concerning the first consideration, be it known that in the year 1224, being in his forty- third year, St Francis went, by the inspiration of God, from the Valley of Spoleto into Romagna, taking with him Brother Leo as his companion; and on their way they passed by the Castle of Montefeltro, where was a great concourse of people, and a solemn banquet held, by reason that one of the Counts of Montefeltro was that day to receive his knighthood.
