Page 3 Dear St Paul of the Cross Parishioners, As I write this column, there seems to be a certain heaviness in the air. We are all locked up in our homes unable to go anywhere, unsure of what is happening, and uncertain of the future. If there is one emotion that we all seem to share, it is fear. We are experiencing fear of the unknown, fear of catching the virus and fear about when all this will end. Our fears will increase exponentially if we somehow pretend that we control our lives. We can allay our fears if only we can surrender to faith. One of my favorite gospel stories depicts a scene where the disciples are helplessly tossed about in a storm. It is about three or four in the morning and the morning light has not yet broken in. Seeing Jesus walking on the water, they are terrified because they think they are seeing a ghost. As Jesus draws closer to them, He assures his followers: “Do not be afraid. It is I.” Fear kept the disciples from seeing straight. We also live in a society that constantly preys on our fears. In his book, The Culture of Fear, Barry Glassner asks: “Why are so many fears in the air and so many of them unfounded? Why, as crime rates plunged throughout the 1990s, did two-thirds of Americans believe they were soaring? How did it come about that by mid-decade 62 percent of us described ourselves as ‘truly desperate’ about crime – almost twice as many as in the late 1980s, when crime rates were higher?” Emerging from the last election year, we know firsthand how politicians play on our fears for their own political gain. Many years ago a university in Germany conducted a research study. It asked students to identify the emotion that they experienced most frequently. The results surprised the researchers. The most common emotion that people experienced, according to the research, was not love or anger or hate. It was fear. Whether we are children or grown-ups, we all have our fears. Some of us are afraid of the dark; others are afraid of the future and the unknown; some others are afraid of failure. We are afraid of what people think of us. We are afraid of getting old. We have so many fears. God put fear into us to keep us safe. Without fear we will put ourselves in danger. The total lack of fear is risky and it is called temerity. On the other hand, we cannot allow fear to keep us from living our lives fully. We cannot become paralyzed by fear. Courage is not lack of fear; it is the ability to face our fears and do what must be done. We can face all things because the Risen Lord is with us. With St Paul, we can say, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Especially during the Lenten season we are reminded that we cannot be fearful because by His death and resurrection, Christ has conquered sin and death. For us believers the source of our courage is the assurance of God’s presence with us. When we read the Bible we find God calling many individuals to do extraordinary things for Him. For instance, God calls Moses and asks him to tell the Pharaoh to free the people of Israel. When Moses objects that he does not know how to speak, the Lord pledges to go with him. That is the assurance that God gives to all those He calls. This God will not allow us to face the storms of life alone. Do you know what sentence occurs the most in the Bible? It is this: “Do not be afraid; it is I.” These words and their equivalents appear in the Bible not just a hundred or even two hundred times. They appear 366 times. It is as if God tells us that He is with us once for every day of the year and an extra once for each leap year. We have nothing to fear. I know that we are all concerned about many things. We have enough reasons to worry. Thinking about our huge parish, from time to time I too worry. However, over the last ten years, God has given me unmistakable proofs of His continued presence with us. He constantly surprises me by solving problems when I go to Him in prayer. I invite you to rely on His unfailing support. Take all your burdens to Him in prayer. As long as Peter kept his eyes focused on Jesus, he was fine. Once he turned his gaze to the wind and the waves, he began to sink. Let me leave you with the words of Scripture: But now the Lord who created you, says, “Don’t be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name. You are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up – the flames will not con- sume you. For I am the Lord your God, your Savior, the Holy One of Israel... Others died that you might live; I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me and honored and I love you. Don’t be afraid for I am with you.” (Isaiah 43: 1-5) Storms will always rage and winds will not die down. Even though many things around us cause fear, we rest in the assurance that the Lord is with us, within us. He is for us! Let us pray for one another! Yours warmly, PS I would like to remind you that even though our parish is closed, our expenses remain. Please do not forget to support your parish. You can give on-line or mail your checks. Thank you! Page 4 October 12-21, 2020 www.pilgrimages.com/frberchmans PALM SUNDAY Stations of the Cross are cancelled.

Page 5 A T, D (847) 692-6767 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 2020 Lenten Almsgiving You can make a big difference by helping the Purépecha indigenous community in Mecca, CA build a church. Sisters Aida and Maria Teresa work with a community that is mostly made up of indigenous Purépechas, who have their own language and customs. The sisters believe they have three responsibilities to this com- munity: to walk toward the people, to participate in their lives and to preach the Gospel message that God unconditionally loves each one of us. The sisters go out to engage the people in the community by actively participating in their fiestas, their devotions, their prayers and their struggles. Simply put, the sisters seek to be in communion with the migrant Purépecha people. The Purépecha people in this community speak Purépecha as well as Spanish, and some especially the children, also know English. While the sisters do not speak Purépecha, they speak the language of love and companionship. The people in this community have experienced discrimination due to their language and traditional clothing. The sisters presence at community leader meetings, which take place in the Puré- pecha language, serves more than anything else, as a witness of the sisters companionship. At least 90 percent of the Purépecha community is Roman Catholic, but they are not being adequately ministered to because they live in the farther reaches of the valley. The sisters continue to remind the com- munity that they are here to accompany them in their Catholic faith. Thank for your support and generosity!

  • History Alternatives by Time Period" Is Broken Apart Into Subjects and ALL the Titles I've Found So Far, with Their Reading Levels
    HISTORY READING ALTERNATIVES PDF: Caswell 3 Laura Berquist approved sharing this list but because she hasn't reviewed all of these books, she just wanted to make sure it was made clear that it's the work of Deanna Caswell, not MODG. Deanna created lists of all the history books in the 2nd - 5th grade MODG history lesson plans determining reading levels by using what her home state of TN uses: AcceleratedReader level, http://www.arbookfind.com/ . Then she researched alternatives for students who are struggling or want something more advanced. She explains below what the document covers. I think you'll find it very helpful when you're trying to see the grade level for which a particular book is written. If your child is struggling w/the suggested book, you can look for a book more in line w/his reading ability. It's good to have a mix of challenging reads and easy reads. If you are busy and neither you nor an older sibling can sit down to read a suggested book, you can find an alternative book that the child can read. **** The list "MODG Recommendations" is the reading levels for all the books in the syllabi, her originals and alternatives. This is so the parent can identify HER recommendations first and see if they are in the child's level. The lists are long because Laura recommends some series. It's ONLY Laura's listed books. Bolded titles are the ones in the lesson plans. Not-bolded are the one she lists as alternatives and are not in the lesson plans.

  • The Contribution of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) to Catholic Educational Practice in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
    The Contribution of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917) to Catholic Educational Practice in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries Maria Patricia Williams Ph D Thesis University College London Institute of Education 1 I, Maria Patricia Williams confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract My thesis evaluates the educational practice of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (1850-1917). Cabrini, a schoolteacher from Lombardy, founded the Institute of Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC) in Codogno, Italy in 1880. When she died, a United States citizen in Chicago, USA, she had established 70 houses in Europe and the Americas. One thousand women had joined the MSC. Her priority was to work with some of the estimated thirteen million Italians who emigrated between 1880 and 1915. The literature review considers the relatively little work in the history of education on Catholic educational practice. The research addresses three questions: 1. How did Mother Cabrini understand Catholic educational practice? 2. How can Mother Cabrini’s understanding of Catholic educational practice be seen in the work of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? 3. How far did Mother Cabrini develop a coherent approach to Catholic educational practice? A multiple case study approach is used, focussing on the educational practice of Cabrini and the MSC in Rome, London and New Orleans, within the transnational context of their Institute.

  • St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and Dissed?
    St. Frances Xavier Cabrini: Dismissed and dissed? Dorothy Day supposedly uttered that famous phrase, “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily.” Day, of course, now has her own cause for sainthood. And she was deeply devoted to many saints, and once said that we’re all called to sainthood. But she had a point about saints being dismissed easily. Case in point is the recent brouhaha in New York over a statue to St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen to be canonized. You’ve probably heard the story: The city of New York has monuments all over the place, but there’s a woeful gap in the number of women versus men so honored. The first lady of New York, Chirlane McCray, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s spouse, headed up a commission with the intent of narrowing that gap. Called the “She Built NYC” project, the commission decided to ask New Yorkers for their input on which women should be honored with a statue. So far, so good. New Yorkers nominated some 320 women. And the big winner? Mother Cabrini, with 219 votes. Sad to say, however, when the commission picked seven winners to be memorialized around the city with monuments costing taxpayers about $5 million, St. Frances Cabrini didn’t make the cut. Why not? Part of the intent of the project was to raise awareness of women of color, a group often overlooked and undervalued. So, one excellent selection was Shirley Chisholm, America’s first black congresswomen.

  • St. Frances Xavier Cabrini First American CITIZEN Saint November 13, 2020
    November 12, 2020 The Feast Day of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini First American CITIZEN Saint November 13, 2020 Complex personality factors combined to make Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini an outstanding woman of her era. Without doubt she possessed that intangible element known as charisma. Only a charismatic personality could have attracted so many followers and captivated the attention of both the powerful and lowly of this world. Cabrini was a modern woman. Her interests were extensive. She certainly did not adapt readily to the role expected of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century women religious. She was an entrepreneur and world traveler, keenly aware of the currents of thought in the world of her time. Cabrini foresaw the twentieth century as one of revolution and tailored her philosophy of education, healthcare, and social service to accentuate the intrinsic value and dignity of each human being touched by her Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. Frances Cabrini became an American citizen. Quite possibly, she may have taken the decision to become a naturalized citizen to secure the extensive property holdings of the Institute of the Missionary Sisters and to be able to cross national boundaries with greater facility. Her struggles presage those we experience in this century. To wit, in 1915, when Mother Cabrini decided to expand her works in Seattle with the purchase of the Perry Hotel, which she planned to transform into a foundling home, a violent controversy broke out. Allied against Cabrini were neighbors, bankers, and jealous spectators, who did not want Italian sisters to purchase the building.
