St. Frances Cabrini Church Page 7 Allen Park, Michigan From the Desk of Father Dom

What No One Tells You About… By: Fr. Dom

Queson: What is the “sin against the Holy Spirit”? What is the role of our Guardian Angels?

In the Gospels of Mahew, Mark and Luke, there is a specific sin menoned called the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It is a very serious offense and according to scripture is unforgiveable. The Gospel of Mark says, “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has for- giveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” (Mark 3:29). This doesn’t seem to make sense to us Catholics who believe that all sins can be forgiven, especially for a people who believe in Sacramental Confession. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld “ what is the deal? ” We turn to the Catechism for some guidance. First what is the sin against the Holy Spirit? The Catechism says, “There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenng, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvaon offered by the Holy Spirit . Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss (CCC 1864). The sin against the Holy Spirit is the refusal to accept the mercy of God. It is a willful decision to reject God’s mercy. Yes, God’s mercy covers all sins but a person has to choose to accept this mercy. This acceptance requires an acknowledgement of sin, sorrow for the sin commied, sacramental confession if the sin is mortal, and a resolve to not sin again. This resolve doesn’t mean we will never sin again; rather it is a commitment of the heart to avoid sin to the best of our abil- ity. Should we fall, we resolve to return to the Doctor of Life. “God created us without us: but he did not will to save us without us. To receive his mercy, we must admit our faults. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (CCC 1847).

Our Guardian Angels are messengers from God who are sent to protect and inspire. Each person has his/her own Guardian Angel and this protecng spirit is with the person their whole life. Angels are referenced many places in the Bible both in the Old and New Testament. How- ever, in the Gospel of Mahew Jesus speaks directly about our guardian angels. He is addressing the disciples about holiness. He puts a child in their midst as an example of the holiness we are to possess. Jesus says , “See that you do not despise one of these lile ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father” (Ma 18:10). This is consistent with the tradion of the Church which says that while our Guardian Angels are with us, they never cease gazing on the face of God for grace and strength. Also, our Guardian Angels are specific to us; we don’t share them with other people. Their ministry as our protectors consists of: averng dangers to the body and soul, protecon from temptaons and removing occasions of sin, enlightening us with holy thoughts and pious desires, offering to God our prayers and praying for us, correcng us if we sin, helping us in the me of death, accompanying our souls to purgatory and con- soling us there, and leading our souls to heaven. The Guardian Angels have an inmate knowledge of the souls they protect however they cannot penetrate our minds. Therefore, it is of great benefit for us to pray to our Guardian Angels and reveal to them our inner thoughts. Next to God and the Blessed Mother, our Guardian Angel is our closest compatriot and friend and he does not rest unl we have reached the beatude of heaven.

Cont. from page 2 World Mission Sunday—Oct.21 Next weekend, we will celebrate World Mission Sunday, a special day on which we unite ourselves with Catholics all over the world to pray and sacrifice for the missionary efforts of the Church. Pope Francis invites the enre Church to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Lan America and Europe, where priests, religious and lay leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communi- es. The observance of World Mission Sunday is truly ‘worldly’ as prayers and support of the missionary work of the Church is done in every parish and chapel throughout the enre world. Please keep the Pope’s mission in your prayers, and be generous in next week’s collecon for the Society for the Propagaon of the Faith. Pink envelopes can be found at all the doors of the Church for this special collecon. They can be placed in the regular mass collecon for the next two weeks.
