  • Rejoice in the Lord Vol. 2, No. 18
    Rejoice in the Lord By Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. Archbishop of Newark June 4, 2021 / Vol. 2, No. 18 In the Eucharist, Christ satisfies hungry hearts Two weeks ago, the bishops of New Jersey announced that effective this weekend (The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, June 5-6), we have reinstated the general obligation to attend Sunday Mass. As members of the Body of Christ, we welcome the Christian faithful to return to the regular participation in the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith. (See statement below). The Church teaches that life in Christ begins with baptism and is nourished by our reception of the holy Eucharist, the body and blood of Christ, and the other sacraments. In his 1943 encyclical, “Mystici Corporis Christi” (The Mystical Body of Christ), Pope Pius XII writes: “If we would define this true Church of Jesus Christ … we shall find no expression more noble, more sublime or more divine than the phrase which calls it the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ” (#13). The Second Vatican Council, and all subsequent popes, have reinforced this teaching about the absolute unity of Christ and his Church and its most powerful, sacramental expression in the Eucharist. Our unity as Christians is guaranteed by our participation in the life of Christ, which is accomplished once and for all at baptism and nurtured, restored and sanctified by our frequent reception of his most holy body and blood in the Eucharist. In his miracle of the loaves and fish, Jesus feeds a crowd of “about five thousand” from the meager resources available, and the result is not only the complete satisfaction of all who were present but “leftovers” filling 12 wicker baskets.

  • U.S. Eastern Catholic Bishops Thank Pope for Lifting Ban on Married Priests
    U.S. Eastern Catholic bishops thank pope for lifting ban on married priests VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis “is a father who knows very well his daughters and sons,” including those who belong to the Eastern Catholic churches, said the Armenian Catholic bishop of the United States and Canada. Bishop Mikael A. Mouradian of the California-based Armenian Catholic Eparchy of Our Lady of Nareg was one of 15 bishops from eight Eastern Catholic churches who spent close to three hours conversing with Pope Francis Feb. 20. The meeting was part of the bishops’ “ad limina” visits to Rome to report on the status of their eparchies or dioceses. They were the last group of U.S. bishops to complete the visits, which are required regularly of every bishop in the world. Bishop Mouradian had made an “ad limina” visit in 2012, meeting with Pope Benedict XVI. Both popes “were very fraternal” and very much teachers, but Pope Francis’ advice and counsel came from a place “much more near to the heart,” the bishop said. The Armenian bishop and others who spoke to Catholic News Service said they thanked Pope Francis for his decision in 2014 to lift an 85-year-old Vatican ban on ordaining married priests for the Eastern Catholic churches outside their traditional homelands where married priests are common. “I ordained my first married priest two years ago,” the bishop said. “He is our first American-born vocation to the priesthood, and he’s doing an amazing job.” Bishop Mouradian said the pope’s decision to lift the ban did not open any floodgates because the bishop has conditions candidates must meet: “I always request that they have at least five years of experience in matrimony” and have children; and they must have at least a master’s of divinity degree.

  • Edward Flannery's “The Anguish of the Jews”: a Forgotten Feat
    Edward Flannery's “The Anguish of the Jews”: A forgotten feat Ari Belenkiy The book, which my sister Helen ran across in the library while pursuing her degree at a Boston college, became the center of our family life for the next decade. The author of the book subtitled “Twenty Three Centuries of anti-Semitism” was a Catholic priest of high standing. My father, Mark Belenkiy, a retired physician and author some 100 papers on medicine, decided to translate the book into Russian. He finished the first draft in 2-3 years and asked me whether the author might still be alive. It was 1995 and I was finishing my degree at the University of California at Irvine, where I befriended another Catholic priest, mathematician Kurt Burnette. I re-addressed my father’s request and the next day Kurt brought a thick Catholic Church directory and pointed to an entry somewhere in its middle: Reverend Edward Flannery, Providence, Rhode Island, address, telephone… The same evening I called the number and had a short talk with the author. In a few days my father got a letter bearing the return address of the Eparchy of Providence. In the letter, the first of a dozen, Reverend Flannery warmly encouraged us to publish the Russian translation - the book was already translated into French, Spanish and Portuguese. Flannery warned, however, that the first American 1965 edition was followed in 1985 by a second one with two new chapters; the first supplying his theme by events from the mid-1960s to mid-1980s, the second analyzing the roots of anti-Semitism (Christian in particular) more profoundly than before.

  • Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Nativity 2015
    Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Nativity 2015 From the Chaplain Glory to Jesus Christ! As you can see in this newsletter, there is a parish pro- ject for the Eparchy of Mukachevo which needs your assistance. As is the case so often in the Transcarpathian Oblast, the local Greek Catholics who had remained loyal to our Church throughout the So- viet era despite arrests, fines, and having to worship in secret were denied full use of the churches built by their ancestors. This continued even when the court Parish House at Benedykivtsi must undergo major ruled in favor of the Greek Catholics and renovation when there was an abundance of old churches to be used, as in Benedykivtsi. At that village, though there were several churches which Orthodox simply could not fill, the Greek Catholics were kept outside, even in freezing winter, for over 20 years. Their appeal does not begin to convey the hardships which those families have endured, praying outside for every liturgical celebration - from baptism to weddings to funerals - rather than give up their Faith. So we appeal for your generosity and, as always, thank you in advance. A new category is for the Prešov Metropolia's ongoing missionary expansion. As in America, people live beyond the reach of older churches. They will be lost to our Church if intrepid missionary priests are not able to serve them. Missions are now meeting in several Roman Catholic churches or elsewhere in central and western Slovakia. The Christmas and Easter Card projects have turned out to be very successful, beyond what we expected! So, we have printed them in advance, ready to go, and the order form is inside this newsletter.
