Page 2 St. Jude The Apostle From Our Pastor’s Desk Church ! A recent Pew research revealed the startling fact that a large percentage of practicing, www.stjudelewes.org ! church going Catholics do NOT have the same faith in the Eucharist as the Church. ! While [email protected] ! Catholicism affirms the Most Blessed Sacrament as the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of ! the Risen Christ (notice the carefully chosen capital letters), many worshippers mistakenly PARISH OFFICE ! think they are receiving just blessed bread and wine. ! I suspect there are many reasons for this. ! 152 Tulip Drive, Lewes, DE ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! One is “indifferentism,” the notion that all religions are pretty much the same and, 302 644 7300 ! after all, “we worship the same God.” ! That’s just not correct. ! The one, true God we adore is Fax: 302 644 7415 ! Creator and Father, Whose Incarnate Son is the physical Presence of the Divine in our world ! and Whose Spirit fills our hearts. ! Our God is the Most Blessed Trinity, while Unitarians do Pastor: Rev. Thomas Flowers ! not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. ! Our heavenly Father has an only begotten Son, ! while the Allah of Islam does not. ! ! Assoc. Pastor: Rev. Jones Kukatla ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another problem is the false distinction between “spiritual” and “religious.” ! We ! often hear people insist, “I’m spiritual, but I don’t care for religion.” ! The spiritual yearning of Deacons: ! Bill McGann ! the human soul is a search for Something and Someone larger than ourselves. ! Religion is ! ! Marty Barrett ! what helps us discover and develop our spiritual self. ! In religion we use our human senses ! ! Howard League ! sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing to come in contact with What and Who we cannot know ! ! Don Lydick ! directly with these senses. ! All too often, a dichotomy between “spiritual” and “religious” re- ! ! Al Barros ! sults in a spirituality that is self centered and cut off from the family of faith, the community ! of human fellowship. ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! It’s easy to confuse or mislead people from the truth when we are careless in our Business Mgr: Bob Hearn language. ! For example, I have sometimes heard an Extraordinary Minister say, “There is a lot ! ! ! ! of wine left over.” There cannot be any wine left over, because there is no more wine after the Office Director: Nancy Seaver consecration. ! What looks, and smells, and tastes like wine is truly the Blood of the Risen ! ! ! ! One. S ome Protestant congregations have adopted use of the word Eucharist, even t hough Executive Secretary: their service book uses the word “Communion” for the blessed bread they share. ! !

I have seen worshippers pop the Host into their mouth as if it were a Office Assistant: Judy Gibson ! ! ! ! cookie or a cracker.

  • September 8, 2019 the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
    Volume 24, Issue 3 — September 8, 2019 September 8, 2019 Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary To the Members of the United States Association of Consecrated Virgins, One of the greatest challenges of celibates and virgins is to realize the primordial challenge from God that we be fertile and multiply. For us, the first part of responding to this challenge is to imagine how this is even possible. Obviously, this will be accomplished as a spiritual fecundity. Our life of prayer for the Church and the world, both in general and in particular is a primary way to fulfill this duty. Are there other ways? This will depend on our method of “living in the world.” Whatever it is that we do, be it Church work or completely secular labor, there we encounter fertile soil. Each of us then must determine how best we can help the Word of God take root, both by our example and by our words. God will give the increase, but we must plant seeds. Fecundity of any kind should always be the Inside this Issue Page result of love and therefore love is the primary seed which we Something Ancient - will plant.

  • Faith Fact Saints Simon and Jude Feast Day October 28
    Faith Fact Saints Simon and Jude Feast Day October 28 How do you feel when you are chosen to do something important? Honored, surprised, nervous? Some of the Apostles must have felt as you do. After spending much time in prayer, Jesus decided to choose 12 men, 12 rather unlikely candidates, who would be his Apostles and proclaim the Kingdom of God to all people. Simon the Zealot was one who was called. The Zealots were a Jewish group who believed that the promise of the Messiah meant a free and independent Jewish nation where they would never have to pay taxes to the Romans again. Some Zealots were also very concerned that the spiritual ideals of their religion be kept. But others in the group acted more like modern-day terrorists by raiding, killing, and inciting riots. Simon was known as “the zealot” to distinguish him from Simon Peter. At the same time, Jesus called Jude Thaddeus, brother of James, most likely a fisherman by trade. Along with 10 other men, these two followed Jesus, lived with him, fled when he underwent his Passion, and rejoiced when he rose from the dead. At Pentecost, they were filled with the Spirit and a burning desire to spread the Good News to all. Jude traveled to Mesopotamia to preach, and Simon went to Egypt. Eventually they both ended up in Persia, modern-day Iran. There they worked together evangelizing the people until they were both martyred. These two unlikely candidates for apostleship finally witnessed to the risen Lord with their lives.

  • Novena to Our Lady of Peace & Good Voyage (Our Lady of Antipolo)
    Novena to Our Lady of Peace & Good Voyage (Our Lady of Antipolo) 1 Sing of Mary Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, Virgin Mother undefiled. Sing of God's own Son most holy, who became her little child. Fairest child of fairest Mother, God the Lord who came to earth, Word made flesh, our very brother, takes our nature by his birth. Sing of Jesus, son of Mary, in the home at Nazareth. Toil and labour cannot weary love enduring unto death. Constant was the love he gave her, though he went forth from her side, forth to preach, and heal, and suffer, till on Calvary he died. Glory be to God the Father; glory be to God the Son; glory be to God the Spirit; glory to the Three in One. From the heart of blessed Mary, from all saints the song ascends, and the Church the strain re-echoes unto earth's remotest ends. LEADER: In the Name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit… ALL: Amen LEADER: Sovereign Queen of heaven and earth, as your intercession is so powerful with Christ, Our Savior, intercede for us with the Divine Majesty that we may obtain the Grace we desire in this Novena if is for the greatest honor and glory of God and for the good or our own souls. If, however, it is not God’s Will, secure for us whatever is most pleasing to Him together with a great conformity to His Holy Will. Novena Prayers ALL: O Virgin of Peace & Good Voyage, make known to us and our loved ones that peace most rare, the peace which your Son has reserved for those who love and obey Him, the peace which in turn will give us the strength to forgive all those who have injured and done us wrong.

  • 1 St Simon & St Jude 2012 Today, in the Liturgical Year, We Celebrate Two of the Apostles, Simon the Zealot and Jude, Best K
    1 St Simon & St Jude 2012 Today, in the liturgical year, we celebrate two of the apostles, Simon the zealot and Jude, best known for being the patron saint of lost causes! It is a late tradition that puts these two apostles together as a missionary team, travelling to Persia and Macedonia, probably being martryd in Lebanon. Jude the apostle, also known as Judas, not Iscariot, in St John’s gospel, may be the same person as the apostle called Thaddeus, and may or may not be the same Jude who wrote the epistle of St Jude; and if all this seems a little vague, that is because whilst there are countless legends about St Simon and St Jude, including one that Simon the Zealot visited Glastonbury, in fact very little is really known about their lives or their deaths. Most of what purports to be true comes from the so called Golden Legend, a book of saints written in the 12th or 13th century. But isn’t it fascinating that there should be a patron saint of lost causes. Oh the lost causes with which I have been associated. Aged 13, I would sigh with unrequited love for my friend’s older brother. He, at 16, seemed the height of sophistication. He had been on a Top of the Pops show, he assured us that it was childish to like the Monkees, so pictures of them got torn down from the inside of my school desk and replaced with those who were less mainstream. He knew Long John Baldry, and when finally that singer got a hit song, I basked in reflected glory, even though I had never actually talked with him myself.
