6Th Sunday of Lent April 14, 2019 Five Paths of Repentance  Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord 6th Sunday of Lent April 14, 2019 Five Paths of Repentance Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord From the Gusset Five Paths of Repentance for Lent Ancient cultures thought that oil was an instrument for strengthening, beautifying, and healing. For instance, Moses was instructed to anoint Aaron with oil to give Aaron the strength to act as High Priest. Jesus instructed those who fast: not to appear to be fasting by anointing their head with oil. Oil showed forth a beauty in one’s skin M so a man anointed with oil looked handsome, and a woman anointed with oil appeared more beautiful, and no would know that they were fasting. And finally, in the Lord’s parable about the Good Samaritan, remember the Samaritan poured oil over the wounds of the robber’s victim and healed him. When a small contingent of parishioners makes a pilgrimage to the Cathedral in Rockford on Holy Thursday to pick up the 3 oils that we will use at our Churches M we will use the Oil of salvation, the Chrism Oil, and the Oil of the sick to strengthen, beautify, and heal the parishioners of Maytown, Sublette, and West Brooklyn in the coming year. Just so, St. John Chrysostom says that the 5 paths of Repentance are healing balms that we may pour over any wound in our soul to help our souls regain their health M a health, which our souls enjoyed following our rising from the Baptismal font. “Once we have regained our spiritual health (the forgiveness of our sins) we can approach with great confidence the holy altar M go out to meet Christ, the King of glory, and attain the eternal blessings through the grace and mercy and kindness of Jesus Christ, our Lord.” When we walk the 5 paths of Repentance, when we pray fervently, and give alms generouslyM we have great strength to do the things Jesus Christ did. When we do the good even though no one may ever find out that we did the good M our souls have tremendous beauty in God’s eyes. When we condemn ourselves of our own sins, and when we forgive others their sins against us M we are healed, made whole, have integrity. We know the truth: that the Son of God became man, dwelt among us, died for us, and was raised from the dead, all so that we might have eternal life! Yours on the Path Fr. Randy A SNAP SHOT OF THE TRIDUUM Holy Thursday Mystics call it: the Secret of Holy Thursday. That Jesus held this Secret in His Sacred Heart all the days of His earthly life M the Secret that the Lord would become Food for us to eat, the Secret that the Lord would become Wine for us to drink. The Secret of Holy Thursday is the Eucharist. Even when Jesus performed His very first miracle, you can see how God was trying to show us, mere men, the Mystery of Faith. Jesus had the Secret in His Heart at Cana when He changed the water into wine. He performed this miracle for all to see, but they did not see it. Do you see the Secret of Holy Thursday at the Mass or are you as blind as the wedding guests at Cana? Good Friday There is a tradition, that Seth (Adam and Eve’s 3rd son) went back to the entrance of Paradise and encountered the Angel with the fiery sword that guarded the entrance back into heaven; and Seth asked the angel for a twig from the tree of Life. Seth then planted this twig in Jerusalem, and since plants have totipotency M the twig grew into a large tree. When we venerate the Cross on Good Friday, we venerate the instrument that the Christ used to save us. Easter Vigil It is by the precious Wounds of Christ that we are healed and perfected and made ready to spend eternity in Heaven. Jesus Christ is the one who earns the victory for heaven by His death and resurrection, and you and I are the ones whom He saves. By our Lord’s continuously showing His Holy Wounds to the Father, God the Father is distracted and we, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, who have eaten of the Body and Blood of our Savior, sneak into Heaven. Heroes of God; The Feast Days of the Saints St. Bernadette Soubirous th April 16 “One must have Faith and pray; the water will have no virtue without Faith.” This was Bernadette’s response to the Lourdes Commission that examined the water from the stream that the poor, uneducated girl from Lourdes had uncovered with her hands. The scientists were looking for an explanation as to why the water seemed to have miraculous healing power. Finding only a high mineral content, the medical review board determined “that nothing out of the ordinary would account for the cures attributed to the water.” In the 161 years since the apparitions of our Lady to the oldest child in the Soubirous family, over 70 cures have been verified as “inexplicable.” On February 11th in the year 1858, Soubirous was 14 years old, and a routine trip to gather firewood with her sister and a friend changed the world. In the grotto of Massabielle, Bernadette saw the vision of a “a lovely lady wearing a white veil, a blue girdle, and with a yellow rose on each foot.” She would see and talk with the Lady a total of 18 times. After entering the convent of the Sisters of Charity of Nevers, France, Bernadette spent the rest of her years working as an assistant in the infirmary, and as a sacristan in the chapel where she made beautiful embroidered altar cloths and vestments. Once asked by her sisters about the visions, Bernadette told them, “the Virgin used me as a broom to remove the dust. When the work is done, the broom is put behind the door again.” St. Bernadette Soubirous is known as the patron Saint of ‘those who are ridiculed for their Faith.’ Her own family, her parish priest, and many of the townsfolk of Lourdes thought she was either lying or believed she suffered from mental illness and ought to be put in an asylum. Bernadette died on April 16th in the year 1879 at the age of 35 after suffering much from tuberculosis of the lungs and bones. St. Bernadette’s incorrupt body lies in Nevers, and Fr. Randy is blessed to have a relic of this great Saint. Since we will be having Eucharistic adoration following the Mass on April 16th, we will not be blessed with the relic, but all will be allowed to venerate this 1st class relic following adoration.

Polistena “Gentlemen, whether you like it or not, the feeling for religion has in the last six years regained a power which no one could have foreseen.”[1] A member of France’s Chamber of Deputies made this surprising declaration in 1837, noting the dramatic religious revival that had taken place in France in recent years. One particular religious event, a Mariophanic occurrence, may have contributed to this phenomenon. It also led to a new iconography for the Virgin Mary (fig. 1). This is the subject of my article, in which I attempt to show how a new, potent image of the Virgin became popular because it emerged at a propitious moment, politically, and because new technologies helped to widely propagate it.

  • Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes ‒ Marian High School, February 11
    Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes – Marian High School, February 11, 2019 Most Reverend Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades “It was 161 years ago today, on February 11, 1858, that the Blessed Virgin Mary first appeared to the 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous at the grotto of Massabielle near the village of Lourdes in France. It was the first of 18 apparitions. At this first apparition, Bernadette first saw a light, then she saw a young lady who she said was “beautiful, more beautiful than any other.” She did not know it was the Virgin Mary. Bernadette said that the lady smiled at her and spoke to her with much tenderness and love. She described the woman to others as ‘the beautiful lady.’ She was beautiful in every way, not just physically. It is hardly surprising that Mary should be beautiful, given that – during the last apparition on March 25th, 1858, she revealed her name to Bernadette. She said: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Is this not the greatest beauty of Mary of Nazareth, the Mother of Jesus? She was without sin from the first moment of her existence. She was preserved by God from every stain of original sin. We call her Mary most holy. Her holiness was perfect. That’s why she’s the greatest of all the saints, the Queen of All Saints. That’s the patron title I gave to Bishop Dwenger High School some years ago, when I gave to your high school Our Lady of Lourdes as patroness. The young Bernadette saw the beauty of Mary.

    Treasures From Our Tradition Readings for the Week The liturgy seems reluctant to return to Ordinary Time Monday: 1 Kgs 17:1-6; Ps 121:1bc-8; Mt 5:1-12 from the joys of Easter, and so the festivities extend to today’s celebration of the mystery of God’s relationship Tuesday: 1 Kgs 17:7-16; Ps 4:2-5, 7b-8; to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Gospel today Mt 5:13-16 centers the question of our relationship with God in the Wednesday: 1 Kgs 18:20-39; Ps 16:1b-2ab, 4, 5ab, struggle of Nathaniel to believe that it is possible to 8, 11; Mt 5:17-19 experience “rebirth” in the Spirit. The answer of Jesus is that God’s response to the messes of this world is the Thursday: Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3; Ps 65:10-13; mystery of saving love in Jesus Christ and the outpouring Mt 5:20-26 of an empowering Spirit. Western church architecture often tops a church building Friday: 1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-16; Ps 27:7-9abc, 13-14; Mt 5:27-32 with a spire, indicating humanity’s reach to a transcendent God. The Eastern Church responds with onion-shaped Saturday: 1 Kgs 19:19-21; Ps 16:1b-2a, 5, 7-10; domes, indicating the Spirit’s being poured down upon Mt 5:33-37 humanity precisely at this locale, the gathering of the faithful for the Divine Liturgy. This familiar design Sunday: Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a; Ps 147:12-15, 19-20; encodes a great mystery: here, at the Lord’s table, we 1 Cor 10:16-17; Jn 6:51-58 experience the outpouring of the Spirit for the life of the world.

  • Article Linking Carmelite Spirituality with the Message of Lourdes
    Carmelite echoes in the Lourdes Grotto Johan Bergström-Allen, T.O.C. Johan is a Lay Carmelite and convenor of Carmelite Spirituality Groups in the northern English cities of Leeds and York where he runs the Projects and Publications Office of the British Province of Carmelites. As well as being involved in the Third Order formation programme of his province, Johan is a formator for volunteers working in Lourdes. He is the director of the British Province’s annual pilgrimage to Lourdes with the Catholic Association. For details of the pilgrimage please visit www.carmelite.org. This article was first published in Carmel in the World magazine in 2009. When the editor of Carmel in the World asked me to write an article about the link between Carmelite spirituality and Lourdes, the famous shrine of Our Lady in south-western France, I was very happy to do so because it’s a tremendously important place in my life. I’ve been lucky enough to have gone there on pilgrimage many times, including several visits in the Jubilee Year th of 2008 which marks the 150 anniversary of Mary’s apparitions to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. Carmelite friar Fr. Tony Lester, O.Carm., preaching at the Grotto in Lourdes But before I can tell you why I think there’s a strong link between the message of Lourdes and Carmelite spirituality, there’s something I feel I have to say first: I am not a big fan of apparitions generally. There, I feel better for writing that! Let me explain… Extraordinary religion When I was a teenager (all of a decade ago), I used to be very attracted by the extraordinary (even spooky) parts of our Catholic faith: visions, weeping statues, saints who could reveal your past and your future, stigmata, Eucharistic miracles and so on – I was fascinated by it all.

The Catholicity, the identity — it is here. No matter what, whenever you come here, there is always something going on in the parish. And the priests support the school 100 percent. I am proud the children write letters to those in RCIA. I am proud that the children participate in ‘Locks of Love’ and they donate their hair for St. Baldrick’s Foundation and Stand Up to Cancer. I am so proud of what these children do here, and all grades participate.” Parishioners also are conscious that they can never become complacent. Members of the Parish Council often ask themselves, “Is there anything we still need to do to be more hospitable?” Welcome packets are given to those new to the parish.
