FROM THE RECTOR’S DESK

Our readings this Sunday turn from a focus on the risen Jesus to the third person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit. The Gospel passage from John is taken from Jesus’ Last Supper Discourse. He tells his Apostles that he will send them an advocate whom he calls the Spirit of truth to be with them. The Greek word is parakletos which refers to an advocate who stands with the person before the Court, defending and interceding for them. Jesus promises his disciples that the Holy Spirit will not only be with us but in us. The Holy Spirit is the one who resides in our souls. No one else can do this. Such is the close relationship between us and the Holy Spirit. Jesus tells the disciples that the the Holy Spirit teaches and reminds the disciple of his teaching. The Spirit’s role, however, is more than simply reminding us of the Lord’ commandments but He helps us to have a deeper understanding of Jesus and His teachings. It is the Spirit who reveals Jesus more and more to us, Jesus who is the face of the Father, the incarnation of God. We received the Holy Spirit at our baptism and at confirmation. These sacraments were pivotal events in our life because they oriented us to receive God and the gifts of God. In this relationship, we are led to the truth of who God is and who we are. We are strengthened to follow Jesus and conform our lives to his life. Our task is to be in touch with the Holy Spirit who convicts us of our sins but also reminds us that we are children of God. When we return to the public celebration of Masses at the end of the month, we will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church. Let us pray each day for ourselves and all members of the Church that Holy Spirit will renew us in knowing Jesus and conforming our lives to him.

I have some good news as well to report to you. The Cathedral is open for visitations Tuesdays and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. Entry to and exit from the Cathedral will only be accessible through the middle Broad Street doors. We will close sections of the pews to help keep a 6-foot distance between persons. There will also not be access to the sanctuary areas or the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament due to its close confines. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the main altar for adoration as long as there are sufficient persons in the Cathedral for exposition. Please bring a mask or face covering with you and hand sanitizer if you have it.

Also, on Tuesday, May 26th, we will return to having public Masses in the Cathedral. We only have the 12:05 Mass for that week but plan to have our full complement of Masses for the weekend of May 30 and 31st, Pentecost Sunday. Nevertheless, we will continue the safe practices that we are currently living under. Please look to our website for more guidelines to follow in the coming days.

We also continue to hear confessions by appointment on the front portico of the Rectory which you can access from Broad Street by going through the large black iron gate. Please call our parish office to schedule an appointment.

We will continue to live-stream the daily 12:05 Mass and the 10:30 am Sunday Mass for the foreseeable future. Bishop Brennan has also extended the dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation until September 13th.

I look forward to the time we can meet again in person.

Rosary Meditations for Prayer During the COVID-19 Pandemic BY FR. EDWARD LOONEY On the feast of St. Joseph, Pope Francis invited the entire world to pray the rosary at 9pm Rome time, in union with him, for the current pandemic situation we find ourselves in. The rosary is a powerful prayer. In Fatima, Our Lady said pray the rosary every day for peace in the world. I’m certain Our Lady wants us to pray the rosary everyday now for the end to global health crisis. In these rosary meditations, you will discover how we can pray with and around the current situation, by using the life of Jesus and Mary. I hope these meditations enrich your prayer life and prove fruitful for the world. Photo by Maria Oswalt on Unsplash

JOYFUL MYSTERIES ~ Prayed on Mondays and Saturdays. Annunciation: The angel Gabriel announces to Mary her role in salvation history. Mary cooperates with God’s plan and obediently renders her yes to Almighty God. During these days of quarantine, we pray for the grace to be humble and obedient to what others ask of us, so that the virus may be contained in a timely manner.

Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth: Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth and offers the aged woman help during the last weeks of her miraculous pregnancy. Just as Mary immediately went in haste to help, we ask for the grace to help others when their needs becomes apparent. We also pray for those who will attend to the sick and dying—for the clergy who will anoint; the first responders who will transport; the medical professionals who will diagnose and treat. Please protect them O Lord.

Nativity of our Lord: Mary accompanies Joseph to Bethlehem for the census which must have been a difficult journey for her since she was so close to giving birth. We entrust all pregnant women to the Lord and Mary’s intercession; may they bring their child safely and healthily to birth. May these families rejoice as Joseph and Mary did when they adored their child for the very first time. You can find more from Fr. Looney in his latest book, A Lenten Journey with Mother Mary.

Presentation of Jesus in the Temple: Simeon tells Mary that a sword of sorrow will pierce her heart. The evangelist Luke adds that this happens so that the thoughts of many hearts might be revealed. Mary, as our mother, understands our sorrows, anxieties, and emotions. Let us pray for those who now mourn and are filled with sorrow, may the Lord console them and comfort them in this hour.

Finding of Jesus in the Temple: During these days of quarantine and pandemic, we seem lost ourselves. We are unable to worship on Sundays as a Christian community. In these trying times, we turn to our faith and find hope. Let us pray for people who had previously turned away from God, that in this moment of trial, they find Jesus once again, and in Him find their comfort and peace.

LUMINOUS MYSTERIES ~ Prayed on Thursdays Baptism of the Lord: Jesus begins his public ministry by going to John the Baptist and asking for him to baptize him, even though John confesses that he is not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal. John prayed, “He must increase, I must decrease.” During this time of quarantine, we pray for growth in the virtue of humility and our dependence on God for all that we have.

Wedding at Cana: In the prayer of Pope Francis entrusting the world to Mary’s intercession during this troubling time, he said, “You know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting.” Let us ask Mary to notice the needs of our lives, families, communities, and world. May she intercede for us now, so we can return to joy and feasting of ordinary life.

Proclamation of the Kingdom: Jesus often proclaimed the Kingdom of God saying, “Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” Let us ask the Lord to give us true sorrow for our sins. May this time of prayer, penance, and fasting help us repent and seek God’s forgiveness.

Transfiguration: Peter exclaimed to the transfigured Christ that it is good to be with Jesus. In his exclamation, he expressed his desire to remain with Jesus in that moment. Let us pray for the same grace now, to remain with Jesus in prayer so that we might know Him all the better. Institution of the Eucharist: Public celebration of the Eucharist has been suspended throughout the world. The Faithful are unable to receive the Eucharist—Christ’s very body, blood, soul, and divinity. As Jesus instituted the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, he gave His body to the disciples to eat and commanded them to do this in memory of Him. Let us pray for our priests, who celebrate the Eucharist, continuing Christ’s mandate, but do so alone without a congregation. And let us pray for all the faithful, that this time in which we make spiritual communions, may deepen our appreciation for the Eucharist, so we no longer will take Christ’s gift for granted.

SORROWFUL MYSTERIES ~ Prayed on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays of Lent Agony in the Garden: After celebrating the Last Supper with His apostles, Jesus goes to the Garden of Gethsemane and prays before being arrested. In that prayer, He prayed that all might be one. During this time, we are united as a community in our suffering and isolation. But as believers, we are united in our prayer to Almighty God for the containment and eradication of the corona virus. As we suffer our own agony now, let us ask for the grace to pray as Jesus did, and as we pray, may it fulfil Jesus’ prayer for unity.

Scourging at the Pillar: During the Passion, Jesus was beaten and tortured. We are mindful of those who are immunocompromised and susceptible to disease. For them, any illness can be another scourging, another blow to their health. During this time of pandemic, we pray for their health, safety, and protection from the virus. Please Lord spare them in this moment.

Crowning with Thorns: While earthly rulers have crowns made of gold, the crown of our savior was that of thorns. Jesus is the King of Life and the King of our lives. During this time, let us pray for the grace to put Jesus at the center of our lives and allow him to be the King and Lord of all that we do.

The Carrying of the Cross: During this time, we all have been asked by our Lord to carry new and unexpected crosses. May our experience of the cross, help us to know suffering in a new way. Let us walk with Jesus and from his example find our strength and courage to carry our cross.

The Crucifixion: Jesus Christ became incarnate to be our savior. He saves us from our sins and let us ask him to save us now from the coronavirus. Jesus’ death on the cross defeated death. Let us also pray for those who will die this day, especially from the coronavirus, by the blood of Jesus may they find their forgiveness and redemption. Just as Jesus said to the Good Thief, “Today you will be with me in paradise,” may they hear similar words when they go forth to meet Christ our Lord. * *Please note, I do not dismiss particular judgement or the need for Purgatory but pray with hope that they will see God this day in eternal life.

GLORIOUS MYSTERIES ~ Prayed on Wednesdays and Sundays Outside of Lent The Resurrection: The empty tomb on Easter Sunday is a sign of hope for all believers. Let us pray for all who will die during this time, whether from the coronavirus or from a different illness. May God grant consolation to their family and friends, as the Lord Jesus consoled Mary Magdalene, and may God protect and bless funeral directors and grave diggers.

The Ascension: Before ascending to Heaven, Jesus tells the apostles to go forth and baptize, making disciples of all nations. Let us pray for the Holy Church of God, that during this difficult time, she may strive to live this command of Jesus. Let us pray for ourselves, that we may strive to live as faithful disciples of Jesus.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles while gathered in the upper room. Many symbols are associated with the Holy Spirit—wind, fire, and breath. Knowing the coronavirus affects the lungs, let us pray for those unable to breathe on their own right now, that the Holy Spirit will fill their lungs with the gift of breath, life, and healing.

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin: At the end of Mary’s life, God chose to bring her body and soul into eternal life. Now, Mary prays for us at the hour of our death as we ask her so often in the Hail Mary. Let us ask Mary to pray for those who are at the hour of their death.

The Queenship of Mary: Each year we celebrate Jesus as King of the Universe. It is quite fitting for us, to call upon Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. So many are devoted to Mary, her titles, and shrines. In this time of pandemic, we turn to Mary’s intercession, asking her to obtain from her son the grace of healing for the sick and the containment of the coronavirus. Mary, pray for us, pray for the sick and the dying, pray for our clergy and medical professionals, pray for those who are most in need.

He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. —Luke Photo by David Dibert from Pexels

This year, St. Patrick’s Day here in southeastern Michigan was exceptionally lovely. I spent the bright, sunny day, however, inside my elderly mother’s quaint apartment at her assisted-living facility. After yet another visit to the ER, she had been sent back home and this time placed in hospice care as a result of congestive heart failure, kidney failure, and several other ailments that come from being almost ninety-four years old. The doctors said it would be only a matter of days before she passed away.

It was one of the loneliest and most challenging times of my life.

It’s never easy to lose a loved one, but having it happen in the middle of a pandemic causes all kinds of additional anxiety and emotional stress. It felt as if I were being engulfed by a deep fog of grief and confusion.

No one knew how this pandemic would work itself out. Even now, none of us know.

Normally, visiting my mom, Rosie, was an absolute delight. The assisted-living center was always decorated beautifully and filled with fun activities. I often joked with her that I enjoyed her place more than she did. At least three afternoons a week, they offered great entertainment in the lobby. There was happy hour every Friday at 3:00 p.m., which you’d better believe I rarely missed. There were prayer groups, Bible studies, and a weekly Mass for Catholic residents. It was wonderful to see my mother doing what she could in her limited capacity, for the two years she resided there, trying to make the most of it.

By St. Patrick’s Day, thanks to COVID-19, all those activities had come to a screeching halt, not just for Mom, but for all the residents. Since many of the virus-related deaths in the United States and Europe were occurring among the elderly, nursing homes and assisted-living centers were among the first locations to go into serious lockdown. Visitors were allowed only for emergency or life-and-death situations. At my mother’s location, no one could enter without first having his or her temperature taken and filling out a long health questionnaire. Overnight, the atmosphere went from upbeat to somber.

As I was sitting in my mother’s room, listening to her labored breathing, I thought that, if life were normal, the apartment would have been filled with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her many friends, both old and new.

Without them, it felt very strange.

As those thoughts were crossing my mind, I heard a knock at the door. One of the employees told me to go to the large picture window. Outside, there was a surprise waiting.

Although my mother remained sound asleep, I described to her what was happening. Right outside her window, there was a very cheerful woman with two very large dogs. The dogs were decked out in St. Patrick’s Day garb: shamrocks, shimmery bright green tutus, and other bling. Apparently, as I later learned, the dog owner lived in the neighborhood and was very concerned about the residents feeling alone and isolated—especially on a day when there normally would be a lot of celebrating. So she dressed up her pups and took her time doing window visits to each of the apartments. Keep in mind that although this is only a one-story facility, there are dozens of apartments: probably close to seventy residents. As you can imagine, her visits probably took her all afternoon and then some.

I was so moved that I went outside to thank her and the employees making the rounds with her. If it impacted me, imagine the impact it had on the elderly stuck inside.

My mother died two days later, on the feast of St. Joseph. The St. Patrick’s Day scene outside her window was cemented in my mind and kept me going as we began to pack her things and prepare for her funeral.

Yes, the actions of the St. Pat’s visitor might pale in comparison with the amazing feats of the tireless medical personnel, EMS workers, and others on the frontlines who continue to fight this invisible enemy while often putting their own health and safety in harm’s way. But I share this story with you because I’m quite certain, knowing the media as well as I do, that her actions would not be deemed newsworthy enough to make the rounds on the talks shows, Twitter, or Facebook. It might have been a small deed, but for me it was a big deal. God was providing me with some badly needed blue skies on a dreary day, reminding me that I was not alone.

When we look at all the bills that pile up on our desks each month, eliminating just one of them might be considered a nice little break, but no big deal in the overall financial scheme of things—unless, thanks to the economic fallout of the coronavirus, you’re among the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs or are among those having a tough time in general making ends meet. That’s why Brooklyn Catholic landlord Mario Salerno decided to waive the April rent for all—yes, all—of his two hundred tenants. He did not divulge to the Catholic media outlet EWTN News just how much the gracious “little” gift cost him. He did share that his Catholic faith led to his decision.

And I’m guessing that the mini concerts given by Italian opera singer Maurizio Marchini from his balcony were a big hit for residents of Florence, Italy. On March 11, sixty million people across Italy went on quarantine in their homes. The beautiful streets of this Renaissance city were deserted, as were the streets in the rest of the nation. This famous vocalist didn’t do just one impromptu concert, but several. The original video of Marchini belting out the popular Puccini aria “Nessun Dorma” from Turandot went viral and prompted other balcony concerts of all shapes, sizes, and sounds throughout the country.

The United Kingdom’s newspaper the Guardian reported a huge response to a social media invitation calling for anyone who played an instrument to go to his or her balcony or window to perform. More videos of Italian citizens in lockdown continued to circulate on social media. One clip shows several residents singing a traditional song from their windows. A few days after all the music began, the Italians chose a Saturday afternoon to honor the medical community by opening the shutters, leaning out of their windows, and offering a nationwide round of applause. They applauded, sang, danced, and played their favorite instruments to boost the morale of their fellow Italians.

They exhibited, as did my mother’s sweet St. Patrick’s Day visitor, that no gift of one’s time and talent is too small when it comes to conquering sadness and fear. Their actions also prove that although coronavirus is extremely contagious, so is kindness.

10 Ways to Grow in Friendship with Jesus & Mary BY FR. ED BROOM, OMV The ultimate purpose of our life is to grow to know, love and to follow in the footsteps of Jesus who said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus is the real purpose of our existence. He gives meaning to all that happens in our lives—our joys and sorrows, successes and failures our life and death. Our Lady is always close to Jesus. The saints emphasize that Our Lady is the short-cut to the heart of God.

The following are ten short suggestions how we can grow daily in Friendship with Jesus and Mary His Mother so as to be happy in this life as well as the life to come! 1. Avoid Sin. The mortal enemy to friendship with God is the reality of sin, especially mortal sin. In one of the meditations in the Spiritual Exercises Saint Ignatius says that we should be ready to die before giving in to mortal sin. The motto of Saint Dominic Savio before his first Communion was Death before sin. Unanimously, the martyrs chose death over sin or denying Christ. The Church is already being persecuted and we could be called to the glory of martyrdom. May God’s grace triumph in us!

2. Know God. We cannot love God if we do not know Him. Best way? Reading, meditating on the Word of God. Saint Jerome stated: “Ignorance of the Word of God is ignorance of Christ.”

Use the method of Lectio Divina that Pope Benedict suggested in one of his documents on the word of God: Lectio (read), meditacio (meditate and think deeply about God) contemplacio (imagine that you are with God). Oracio (talk to God) accio (put into practice what you have learned. As a result of living out this method of prayer that we call Lectio Divina, the end result will be “transformacio”—transformation. As Saint Paul says: “It is no longer I who lives but it is Christ who lives in me.”

3. Lives of the Saints. Get into the habit of reading the lives of the saints. The saints were God’s friends, confidants as well as God’s heroes. We believe in the Communion of Saints. The Catechism teaches us that the saints can help us in many ways, but especially two: 1) power of intercession—they can pray for us as well as present our prayers to God.

They were like us, born in sin and sinners, but through the help of God’s grace they overcame human weakness and lived lives of heroic virtue as we are all called to do! Saint Ignatius of Loyola received many graces on his path of conversion by reading the lives of the saints.

4. Live in God’s Presence. A secret of many saints in growing in Friendship with Jesus is the daily effort to live in God’s presence. We must become more keenly aware of the fact of God’s omnipresence—He is everywhere in the universe. Saint Paul reminds us of this as he quotes the Greek poet: “in Him we live and move and have our being.” Brother Lawrence insisted that striving to live constantly in the Presence of God is a sure way to holiness. Saint Teresa of Avila affirmed this truth by asserting that we sin because forget about the presence of God.

5. WWJD/WWMD. Related to living in the presence of God is a daily effort to imitate Christ and His Mother Mary. One of the most famous books every written was the Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis. Our daily aspiration and yearning should be to imitate both Jesus and Mary. The youth used to wear a wrist-band with the four letters WWJD— meaning, “What would Jesus do?” A great question! Let us accept the challenge. WWMD?—Let us add to it: what would Mary do? May we always have both Jesus and Mary before our eyes as our models! 6. The Penitential Life. Even though it goes against the grain of the flesh and our fallen human nature we should try to live a penitential life-style. If we really love Jesus then we should be willing to sacrifice ourselves for love of Him and the salvation of immortal souls; read the lives of the saints as our models and examples. Jesus Himself reminds us: “Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny himself, take up His cross and follow me.” If you are not in the habit if practice penance start with something that is small and build on it!

Athletes start small, build up their wind and will-power and keep adding more. We are all called to be athletes for Christ, to run the race and receive the merited crown which is the eternal glory of heaven. A life of ease, leisure and laziness does not harmonize with the following of Christ! Upon entering a Carmelite cell there is a cross without the corpus on it. Why? Because the Carmelite nun is called to mount the cross and live a life of denial for love of her mystical spouse, Jesus the Lord.

7. Be Merciful and Learn to Forgive. It is impossible to live in this life without being hurt or wounded by others. There are two reactions to being hurt by others: revenge and bitterness or forgiveness and mercy. If we want to be pleasing to Jesus and Mary, best to choose the hard path of mercy and forgiveness Jesus challenges us: “Be merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful.” The English poet Alexander Pope reiterates the same theme: “To err is human, to forgive is divine.” A key element in forgiveness is to do it right away. The Word of God reminds us: “Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” This is especially pertinent for husbands and wives in the married life.

8. Seek to Serve Others. Do not seek to be served; rather, seek out opportunities to be of service and to serve others. Saint Paul once again reminds us: “There is more joy in giving than in receiving.” The Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the Foundress of the Missionaries of Charity encourages us to do the same in a challenging short statement: “Give until it hurts!” Of course looking up at Jesus on the cross and contemplating His wounds is the most sublime example of giving; He gave all even up to the last drop of His Precious Blood for love of you and for love of me! Either we choose a Christocentric life of service or an egocentric life of self- glorification. Once a Protestant Pastor chimed in with these words: “It is either theology or me-ology!” Read Mt 25:31-46—in this powerful passage you have the Corporal works of mercy listed. Which one of these Corporal works of mercy do you think God is challenging you to live out right now?

9. Thanksgiving. One of the most pleasing sentiments that can flow from the human heart is that of thanksgiving. The Psalmist commands us frequently: “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His mercy endures forever.” At the Last Supper Jesus took bread and gave thanks. Actually the Greek word “Eucharist” means “thanksgiving.” How much Jesus suffered after healing ten lepers and only one came back to render Him thanksgiving.(Lk. 17:1-9) Shakespeare in Macbeth offers his words of wisdom on ingratitude: “More painful than a serpent’s tooth is that of an ungrateful child.” The famous medieval writer Meister Eckhart puts it succinctly: “If the only prayer we ever did were that of thanksgiving to God that would be sufficient.” Therefore it is not surprising that Saint Ignatius of Loyola stated that the essence of sin is ingratitude. May God fill our hearts with an overflowing expression of gratitude.

10. Learn to Walk with Mary. In the prayers we say to conclude the most Holy Rosary, the Hail Holy Queen, we pray: “Hail Holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope…” In the midst of the trials, afflictions, uncertainties and insecurities of life, immersed in times of moral confusion and political upheaval, submerged in times of war, suffering and constant bloodshed, we must lift up our eyes with great hope and trust toward the Star of the Sea. This beautiful image and poem penned by the mellifluous Doctor, Saint Bernard, encourages us to trust that Our Lady is there for us to help us through the storms of life and make it safely to heaven. Therefore, as a pilgrim on your journey to heaven do not walk alone. Walk with Mary, talk to Mary, imitate Mary and love Mary. Indeed she will be your life, your sweetness and your hope.” ✠ image: Crowning of Mary by Jacopo Torriti / Public domain

“What page, what passage of the inspired books of the Old and New Testaments is not the truest of guides for human life?” ~Saint Benedict, from the Rule of Saint Benedict (73:3)

“The name of Jesus is in fact the great foundation of the faith that turns people into children of God. The Catholic Faith indeed consists in the news of Jesus Christ as light of the soul, gate of life, and foundation of eternal salvation.” ~SAINT BERNARDINE OF SIENA

Monday, May 18 ~ Sixth Week in the Season of Easter Saint John I, Pope and Martyr

Holy Gospel: John 15:26-16:4a Jesus said to his disciples: “When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. “I have told you this so that you may not fall away. They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me. I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you.”

Meditation: Jesus tells us much about the Holy Spirit. First, the Holy Spirit is inseparably one with the Father and the Son. It is the Holy Spirit who gives life – the very life of God – and who kindles faith in hearts receptive to God's word. The Spirit makes it possible for us to know God personally. He gives us experiential knowledge of God as our Father. The Spirit witnesses to our spirit that the Father has indeed sent his Son into the world to redeem it and has raised his Son Jesus from the dead and has seated him at his right hand in glory and power. The Holy Spirit reveals to us the knowledge, wisdom and plan of God for the ages and the Spirit enables us to see with the "eyes of faith" what the Father and the Son are doing. Through the gift and working of the Holy Spirit we become witnesses to the great work of God in Christ Jesus. Jesus warned his disciples that they could expect persecution just as Jesus was opposed and treated with hostility. We have been given the Holy Spirit to help us live as disciples of Jesus Christ. The Spirit gives us courage and perseverance when we meet adversities and challenges. Do you pray for the Holy Spirit to strengthen you in faith, hope and love and to give you courage and perseverance with hope when you meet adversities and challenges?

Prayer: Grant, O merciful God, that we may experience at all times the fruit produced by the paschal observances. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer ~ Saint John I: O God, who reward faithful souls and who have consecrated this day by the martyrdom of Pope Saint John the First, graciously hear the prayers of your people and grant that we, who venerate his merits, may imitate his constancy in the faith. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: Have you ever examined whom you turn to for help and support when you most need it? True friendship is strengthened in adversity. Jesus offers his disciples the best and truest of friends. Who is this promised friend? Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Counselor and Advocate (also translated “Paraclete” or “Helper” or “Guide”). Counselor is a legal term for the one who will defend someone against an adversary and who guides that person during the ordeal of trial. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate and Helper who brings us safely through the challenges and adversities we must face in this life. As Jesus approaches the hour he was to be glorified – through his death on the cross and his resurrection – he revealed more fully to his disciples the person and role of the Holy Spirit.

Tuesday, May 19 ~ Sixth Week in the Season of Easter

Holy Gospel: John 16:12-15 Jesus said to his disciples: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.”

Meditation: Jesus told his disciples that he would send them the Spirit of truth who will guide you into all the truth...and declare to you the things that are to come (John 16:13). Through the gift and working of the Holy Spirit poured out on the new community of faith on the day of Pentecost, we too are able to profess the same creed which the apostles proclaimed – that Jesus died, and was buried, and rose again on the third day, and will come again to judge, raise the dead, and give everlasting life (the Apostles Creed). We not only have the same faith given to the apostles and early believers, but we have the same Spirit in us who raised Jesus from the dead. The Lord Jesus gives each of us his Holy Spirit as our divine Teacher and Helper that we may grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God. Do you listen attentively to God's word and allow his Holy Spirit to give you understanding of God's truth and will for your life?

Prayer: Grant, we pray, O Lord, that, as we celebrate in mystery the solemnities of your Son's Resurrection, so, too, we may be worthy to rejoice at his coming with all the Saints. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: What we would all give to know all truths! Truth, however, is not something we create nor is it our discovery. It is the gift of God who is the possessor and the giver of all truth. Jesus tells his disciples that it is the role of the Holy Spirit to reveal what is true. How can this be? Skeptics of truth don't want to believe in an absolute Truth. If truth is objective then it must be submitted to as authoritative. Some fear the truth because they think it will inhibit their freedom to act and think as they wish. Jesus told his disciples that the truth will set you free (John 8:32). The truth liberates us from doubts, illusions, and fears. Since God is the source of all truth, then the closer we draw to him and listen to his word, the more we grow in the knowledge of him and of his great love and wisdom for us.

Wednesday, May 20 ~ Sixth Week in the Season of Easter Saints Bernadine of Siena, Priest

Meditation: Jesus told his disciples that he would send them the Spirit of truth who will guide you into all the truth, and declare to you the things that are to come (John 16:13). Through the gift and working of the Holy Spirit poured out on the new community of faith on the day of Pentecost, we too are able to profess the same creed which the apostles proclaimed – that Jesus died, and was buried, and rose again on the third day, and will come again to judge, raise the dead, and give everlasting life (the Apostles Creed). We not only have the same faith given to the apostles and early believers, but we have the same Spirit in us who raised Jesus from the dead. The Lord Jesus gives each of us his Holy Spirit as our divine Teacher and Helper that we may grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God. Do you listen attentively to God's word and allow his Holy Spirit to give you understanding of God's truth and will for your life?

A Prayer to Saint Bernardine of Siena: Saint Bernardine of Siena, words were very important to you. You spent most of your life speaking the golden words of Jesus' mercy and his Holy Name, and you abhorred words that were shameful. Pray for us that we may always choose to speak Jesus' name with reverence, and choose words of love over words of shame. Amen.

The Holy Name of Jesus – HIS: This monogram of the Holy Name, common among Western Christians, comes from the first three letters in the Greek spelling of Jesus’ name. Those letters are iota (“I”), eta (“H”) and sigma (here rendered as its Roman equivalent: “S”). Variations: Sometimes the iota is rendered as a “J” (hence, “JHS”), or one will see the monogram in all Greek letters, or with the final sigma in a “C” shape (hence “IHC”), an alternate way of rendering the letter sigma. They all mean the same thing. The greatest promoters of the monogram were St. Bernardine of Siena and St. John Capistrano. They carried with them on their missions in the turbulent cities of Italy a copy of the monogram of the Holy Name, surrounded by rays, painted on a wooden tablet, wherewith they blessed the sick and wrought great miracles. At the close of their sermons they exhibited this emblem to the faithful and asked them to prostrate themselves, to adore the Redeemer of mankind. They recommended their hearers to have the monogram of Jesus placed over the gates of their cities and above the doors of their dwelling. It became even more popularized after St. Bernardine encouraged a playing card maker in Bologna – a man whose business had been ruined because of the Saint’s preaching against gambling – to make holy cards depicting it instead of making his usual fare. Because the manner in which St. Bernardine preached this devotion was new, he was accused by his enemies, and brought before the tribunal of Pope Martin V. But St. John Capistrano defended his master so successfully that the pope not only permitted the worship of the Holy Name, but also assisted at a procession in which the holy monogram was carried. The tablet used by St. Bernardine is venerated at Santa Maria in Ara Coeli at Rome. Formalized devotion to the Holy Name is the fruit of the work of St. Bernardine of Siena, A.D. 1380-1444, the Franciscan who reformed his Order and preached fiery sermons all over Italy.

Thursday, May 21 ~ Sixth Week in the Season of Easter

Holy Gospel: John 16:16-20 Jesus said to his disciples: “A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while later and you will see me.” So some of his disciples said to one another, “What does this mean that he is saying to us, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” So they said, “What is this ‘little while’ of which he speaks? We do not know what he means.” Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Are you discussing with one another what I said, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy.”

Meditation: The world says take your joy now in whatever pleasures you can get from this present life – “eat, drink and be merry” as the saying goes. Jesus points to an “other-worldly” joy which transcends anything this world can offer. Jesus contrasts present sorrows with future joy. A woman in labor suffers the birth-pangs first, but then forgets her sorrow as soon as her new-born child comes to birth. We cannot avoid pain and sorrow if we wish to follow Jesus to the cross. But in the cross of Christ we find freedom, victory, and joy. It was Saint Thomas Aquinas who said: “No one can live without joy. That is why a man or woman deprived of spiritual joy will turn to carnal pleasures.” Do you know the joy of the Lord?

Prayer: O God, who made your people partakers in your redemption, grant, we pray, that we may perpetually render thanks for the Resurrection of the Lord. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: How do “weeping” and “rejoicing” go together? Jesus contrasts present sorrows with the future glory to be revealed to those who put their hope in God. For the people of Israel time was divided into two ages – the present age and the age to come. The prophets foretold the coming of the Messiah as the dawn of a new age. Jesus tells his disciples two important truths. First, he must leave them to return to his Father and second, he will surely come again at the end of time to usher in the new age of God's kingdom. Jesus' orientation for the time between his first coming and his return in glory at the end of the world is a reversal of the world's fortunes. Do you weep and rejoice in the Lord?

Friday, May 22 ~ Sixth Week in the Season of Easter Saint Rita of Cascia, Religious

Holy Gospel: John 16:20-23 Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.”

Meditation: Why does Jesus tell his disciples to weep and mourn? Jesus was neither a pessimist nor a masochist, and he was certainly more than a realist! The way to happiness and joy in the kingdom of God is through the cross. Sin must be brought to the cross of Jesus Christ and evil can only be completely mastered by the power of God's redeeming love. Jesus told his disciples that it was more blessed to mourn for sin because it would yield the fruit of peace, joy, and righteousness. Jesus knew that the cross would be a stumbling block for those who refused to believe in him. The cross for Jesus was not defeat but victory – victory over sin, over the forces of evil in the world, and over the devil – the arch-enemy of God and humankind.

Prayer: Grant us, O Lord, we pray, that the course of our world may be directed by your peaceful rule and that your Church may rejoice, untroubled in her devotion. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer ~ Saint Rita of Cascia: Bestow on us, we pray, O Lord, the wisdom and strength of the Cross, with which you were pleased to endow Saint Rita, so that, suffering in every tribulation with Christ, we may participate ever more deeply in his Paschal Mystery. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation: We must remember that through his death on the cross, Jesus won for us new life and freedom over the power of sin, despair, and death. The Easter victory of Jesus teaches us courage in the face of suffering and death. In the resurrection of Christ our fears are laid to rest. His resurrection is total, final triumph, and for us peace and joy at the end. We will have troubles in the present reality. Through the eyes of faith, we know the final outcome – complete victory over sin, suffering, and death in Jesus Christ. That is why we can pray confidently now, knowing that the Father will give us everything we need to live as his children and as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. Do you know the Easter joy of Christ's victory over sin and death?
