June 2021 Dispatch Brother Knights, Our parish is celebrating its founding this month, a very special occasion for all of us as we reflect on the blessings we have received as a result of St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Parish being present in our lives. A church or parish is so much more than just a building we belong to and meet within. A parish is a family of the faithful that gathers weekly to worship God in His house. It is in God’s house where we receive the life-giving Sacraments established by Jesus for the good of His Church, the mystical Body of Christ. The ministry of the Church is offered to us fully and unconditionally, yet free of charge. We owe so much to God for His goodness. Not only has God given us a beautiful facility to worship and celebrate life within, He has given us Himself in the Eucharist, He has given us the Holy Spirit, and He has given us our past, present, and future, animated in goodness by the Holy Spirit, which providentially includes the parish of St. Robert Bellarmine in Omaha, Nebraska. Hopefully we are excited and honored to celebrate the founding of this parish that God has given us for our overwhelming benefit and the communities of Omaha altogether. Consider the many ways that St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Parish has blessed its parishioners, the residents of Omaha, and even people across the world. The charity of our parish ranges from monthly food drives for the local Juan Diego food pantry, monetary and volunteer support for local charities such as St. Vincent de Paul Society, Essential Pregnancy Services, Mater Filius, and financial support for global causes such as Unbound child/elderly assistance, cradle of Christianity (Iraq and Iran) assistance, and Holy Land Christians assistance. We as parishioners and as a Knights of Columbus council at St. Robert Bellarmine are truly part of something big and special in God’s plan of salvation. It certainly is good that we celebrate the founding of our parish, but let’s also remember that we are celebrating the outstanding service of our soon to be retired pastor Fr. Stillmunks. We have been very blessed to enjoy his leadership and spiritual gifts the last nine years. He is about to embark on a well-earned retirement, which paves the way for our new pastor, Fr. Dave Reeson, to step in and lead us over the next several years through any victories or storms we are destined to encounter along the way. There is so much to be thankful for, so let’s celebrate it! St. Robert Bellarmine, pray for us! May God abundantly bless you and your families! Happy birthday to Mark Floersch! Upcoming Events Summary – Mark Your Mobile Calendars! It’s the only way one can remember these things! Knights of Columbus Holy Hour – due to the success of the Knights of Columbus weekly holy hour in the St. Robert Bellarmine chapel during Lent, I am going to extend this indefinitely. This is due to my strong conviction that there is truly no better investment of one’s time, other than the Mass, and our council will be rewarded greatly for our faith. The holy hour is on Thursdays after 5:30 PM Mass, from 6:00 to 7:00. This holy hour is intended to bring more Knights without a holy hour into the chapel to spend time with Jesus. I am not asking anyone to cease or add to an existing holy hour. 2021 St. Robert Bellarmine Parish Picnic – the parish picnic will be held on Saturday, June 5, after a 4:00 PM Mass. This is also Fr. Stillmunks’ farewell party. The Knights of Columbus are responsible for the best parts of making this a successful picnic – the beer and the food! We will be selling the beer (via beer truck), margaritas, pop, and water as well as grilling the hamburgers and hotdogs. Please help us during one of the shifts as this is a very important responsibility for the parish picnic. The link for the shifts and stations is below. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0C44AFA92CAAFB6-2019 Moving Fr. Reeson to St. Robert Bellarmine – the council has been asked to help our new pastor Fr. Dave Reeson move a small number of items from St. Columbkille to the parish rectory on Saturday, June 19. Fr. Stillmunks will be flying down to Florida that morning, so we are clear to move Fr. Reeson in and get him set up and ready to serve the needs of the parish. If you would like to help out, please let us know by signing up at the link below. Also, if you have a truck that could be used, it would be a great help to us. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0C44AFA92CAAFB6-moving St. Vincent de Paul Store Setup – there is a new and large St. Vincent de Paul store opening soon in west Omaha near 120 th and Center. Our council has been asked to assist with some small yet tedious tasks in preparing the store for opening. Please let me know if you are interested in stopping by to put in a couple hours and I will direct you to the right person to coordinate with.

The martyrdom of these brave men and women no doubt helped to inspire the rapid growth of the early Church, which is solidly built on the testament of the blood of early believers. St. Anthony of Padua Adores the Child Jesus Jesus and the Rich Man Good of the Order “No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” - Matthew 6:24, New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) Brother Knights, Memorial Day 2021 has just come to pass, one of the most appropriate holidays our nation freely celebrates year after year in light of the sacrifices our veterans have paid for that very same freedom we continuously enjoy. May God have mercy on all our servicemen and women who have died defending this freedom. Freedom is a very interesting concept. As with many words and ideas in the English language, freedom can have a number of different definitions. Freedom in the United States most often refers to being afforded the God-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in a society of free commerce that allows for individual decisions and the building of wealth. These things are inherently good; however, the pursuit of happiness, free commerce, and building of wealth are sometimes abused and misunderstood to allow for anyone to do whatever they want as long as it makes them happy. In the Catholic worldview, we know that true freedom is being able to make free choices ordered toward following the will of God. Freedom is sometimes the exact opposite of doing exactly what we want, when we want. Consider freedom being the ability to deny ourselves of things that harm us physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. Freedom is being detached from disordered affections, especially when they lead us away from God. Recall the famous quote from St. Augustine, “You have made us for Yourself, O LORD, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” At times we get caught up in the notion that we need to have and add things to our lives in order to be happy. We have to be this, do that, and gain esteem in the eyes of society. Unfortunately, the best lessons are sometimes learned the hard way, but most achievements deemed good by society do not lead to happiness. It is precisely because our true source of life and happiness is God. All too frequently, we seem to need reminders of the true meaning of happiness and freedom.

    Twenty Fourth Week in Ordinary Time September 15, 2019

    Twenty Fourth Week In Ordinary Time September 15, 2019 Our Lady of Sorrows From the Gusset The Catholic Church looks at St. Thomas Aquinas as Her greatest Theologian. When you see greatness M if you look behind the great there often times is another, who hides in the shadow. In the case of St. Thomas M the other is: St. Albert the Great M his teacher. The martyred good King Wenceslaus (easily the greatest Bohemian Saint) had his grandmother, St. Ludmila, teach him, his Catholic Faith. Grandparents are often that person who lurks in the shadow of those who are great. And that is why we celebrate the Holy Mass in honor of our Grandparents on the Sunday closest to the Feast of St. Ludmila M patron Saint (along with Saints Joachim and Anne) of Grandparents. History will never give St. Albert the Great or St. Ludmila or Saints Joachim and Anne the credit they deserve for their influence on their protégées or grandchildren, but we can. St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Wenceslaus would be first in line to honor their mentor, their grandparents. Let’s you and I be right behind them in thanking God for the gift of our Grandparents. Let us offer the Thanksgiving of the Eucharist to those who help usNnot only to learn our Catholic Faith, but also to live our Catholic Faith! This is also Catechetical Sunday and the first day of our CCD classes. I would like to ask for your prayers for the following generous individuals, who have volunteered to teach our students.

    St. Robert Bellarmine on the Indirect Power

    ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE ON THE INDIRECT POWER JOHN COURTNEY MURRAY, SJ. Woodstock College N AN age that is being torn apgxt by a profound spiritual crisis in the I temporal order, it is inevitable that the problem of the relations between the spiritual and temporal should assume ranking importance. No one stands aside from this problem; everyone must adopt some solu­ tion for it. Secular theorists of the "new man" are urging the neces­ sary exclusion of the spiritual, in the traditional sense, from any in­ fluence on temporal affairs, and are enforcing on man his destiny to be the unaided creator of the conditions of his own free life. Christian theorists solve the problem in terms of their own concept of Christianity and the degree and kind of engagement of religion and the church in the affairs of this world that it permits or prescribes; the orthodox Lutheran or Barthian will differ considerably from the contemporary Protestant liberal or freechurchman. In Catholic terms, of course, the cardinal question is that of the spiritual authority of the Church over the temporal—its bases, extension, fields and manner of exercise, techniques of effectiveness, etc. This is an ancient question, with a complicated history; in the details of its answer there has never been, nor is there yet, complete uniformity of view. Writing in the sixteenth century, St. Robert Bellarmine said: "The fact that there is in the Pope a power in regard of temporal affairs is not a matter of opinion but of certainty among Catholics; although there is no lack of disputes over what kind and manner of power it is ..

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father knowing ... fear not, you are more valuable than many sparrows. – Matthew 29:31 Page two 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time PPastor’sastor’s CCornerorner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today I want to offer a prayer for all the Dads on this Father’s Day: God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Today is the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The response to today’s Psalm is, “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” I find this very appropriate. I have been doing a lot of praying during the “lock down time” of the last three months. We were ready to celebrate the opening of our church in March, only to be told to stay home. We have all been through so much. I was so happy when the Bishop offered to bless our newly retrofitted and renovated church on June 14. Originally this was going to be just a livestream Mass. Then with the help of the Bishops of California, including Bishop Vann, as well as Bishop Jaime Soto, a native son of Orange County and Bishop of Sacramento, we were allowed by the Governor to open our churches on June 14.

    The Art of Dying Well by St. Robert Bellarmine (Translated from the Latin) OF THE VENERABLE CARDINAL BELARMINE THE REV. JOHN DALTON. London: PRINTED BY RICHARDSON AND SON, 172, FLEET STREET; 9, CAPEL STREET, DUBLIN, AND DERBY CONTENTS TO THE READER. PREFACE OF BELLARMINE. CHAPTER I. HE WHO DESIRES TO DIE WELL, MUST LIVE WELL. CHAPTER II. THE SECOND PRECEPT, WHICH IS, TO DIE TO THE WORLD. CHAPTER III. THE THIRD PRECEPT, WHICH IS CONCERNING THE THREE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES. CHAPTER IV. THE FOURTH PRECEPT, CONTAINING THREE EVANGELICAL COUNSELS. CHAPTER V. THE FIFTH PRECEPT, IN WHICH THE DECEITFUL ERROR OF THE RICH OF THIS WORLD IS EXPOSED. CHAPTER VI. THE SIXTH PRECEPT, IN WHICH THREE MORAL VIRTUES ARE EXPLAINED. CHAPTER VII THE SEVENTH PRECEPT, WHICH IS ON PRAYER. CHAPTER VIII. THE EIGHTH PRECEPT, ON FASTING. CHAPTER IX. THE NINTH PRECEPT, ON ALMSDEEDS. CHAPTER X. THE TENTH PRECEPT, WHICH IS ON THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM. CHAPTER XI. ON CONFIRMATION. CHAPTER XII. ON THE HOLY EUCHARIST. CHAPTER XIII. ON THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE. CHAPTER XIV. THE FOURTEENTH PRECEPT, ON THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY ORDERS. CHAPTER XV. THE FIFTEENTH PRECEPT, ON MATRIMONY. CHAPTER XVI. THE SIXTEENTH PRECEPT, ON THE SACRAMENT OF EXTREME UNCTION. TO THE READER. IN presenting to the public another volume of Bellarmine’s spiritual works, I trust that, like the one already published, (A Gradual Whereby to Ascend unto God," &c Jones and Dolman London, 1844) it will be found not unworthy of the venerable author’s reputation. He is not indeed equal to many of the great spiritual writers that lived about the time of the 1 Reformation; "Controversy" was his chief delight, his characteristic.

    Freedom Fortnight 2016 The Relics of St Thomas More and St John Fisher Supported by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, The Knights of Columbus and The Christian Heritage Centre at Stonyhurst St John Fisher’s Ring and a Reliquary containing a bone and tooth of St Thomas More The Reformation in England was sparked by Henry VIII’s desire to end his twenty-three year marriage to Catherine of Aragon (above) in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Thomas More was Henry VIII’s Chancellor. John Fisher was Bishop of Rochester. They both resisted Henry’s attempts to divorce his wife and to take away the rights of the Catholic Church. As the Pope consistently refused to allow Henry to end his marriage, the King made his Bishops swear an oath of allegiance to himself as Supreme Head of the Church in England. The only Bishop to refuse was John Fisher. More and Fisher were imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1534 for their opposition to the King’s will. Fisher’s treatment in prison was particularly harsh, and he was forced to rely on the generosity of friends for food and drink as none was supplied to him. Westminster Hall, in the Houses of Parliament. John Fisher and Thomas More were tried and convicted of treason in this hall. Their judges included Anne Boleyn’s father. Thomas More’s cell in the Tower of London can still be seen today. He spent fourteen months in prison, writing, praying and fasting. This embroidered cap of red linen, gold and silver thread and spangles was made for Thomas More in his last years of life, probably by one of his daughters.
