After much thought and consideration, I have decided to implement the Mass Schedule the Collaborative Pastoral Council approved by vote. It is published here in the bulletin. Please keep in mind that it is made possible by the help we receive from Father Rivard and our two visiting priests, Fathers Peter Gojuk and John Geaney. Should that situation change, it is reasonable to expect that it will impact the Mass schedule. Father Gregory and I speak for the entire collaborative when we say how blessed and fortunate we are to have such fine priests assisting us! Saint Gregory the Great’s feast day will be this Friday. He was born around 540 in Rome, the son of Gordianus, a Roman regionarius, and Saint Silvia of Rome, nephew of Saint Emiliana and Saint Tarsilla, greatgrandson of Pope Saint Felix III. Educated by the finest teachers in Rome, he served as prefect of Rome for a year, then he sold his possessions, turned his home into a Benedictine monastery, and used his money to build six monasteries in Sicily and one in Rome. Upon seeing English children being sold in the Roman Forum, he became a missionary to England. He was elected 64th Pope by unanimous acclamation on 3 September 590, the first monk to be chosen. He sent Saint Augustine [of Canterbury] and a company of monks to evangelize England, as well as other missionaries to France, Spain, and Africa. He collected melodies and plainchant so associated with him that they are now known as Gregorian Chants. One of the four great Doctors of the Latin Church, he wrote seminal works on the Mass and Divine Office, several of them dictated to his secretary, Saint Peter the Deacon. Here are some quotes of his: The proof of love is in the works. Where love exists, it works great things. But when it ceases to act, it ceases to exist. If the work of God could be comprehended by reason, it would no longer be wonderful, and faith would have no merit if reason provided proof. You don't climb a mountain in leaps and bounds, but by taking it slowly. Act in such a way that your humility may not be weakness, nor your authority be severity. Justice must be accompanied by humility, that humility may render justice lovable. The universe is not rich enough to buy the vote of an honest man. You cannot acquire the gift of peace if, by your anger, you destroy the peace of the Lord. St. Gregory the Great, pray for us! Gratefully yours in Christ, Fr. Steve The 2021 Catholic Appeal campaign is well underway atSt. Edward and St. Jude. As of 8/10/2021, St. Edward has met their assessment and St. Jude has received 96% of their assessment.

  • Poverty, Charity and the Papacy in The
    TRICLINIUM PAUPERUM: POVERTY, CHARITY AND THE PAPACY IN THE TIME OF GREGORY THE GREAT AN ABSTRACT SUBMITTED ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF MARCH, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS OF TULANE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY ___________________________ Miles Doleac APPROVED: ________________________ Dennis P. Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.

  • Basic Norms for the Formation of Permanent Deacons
    (BNFPD) BASIC NORMS FOR THE FORMATION OF PERMANENT DEACONS and (DMLPD) DIRECTORY FOR THE MINISTRY AND LIFE OF PERMANENT DEACONS CONGREGATION FOR CATHOLIC EDUCATION CONGREGATION FOR THE CLERGY LIBRERIA EDITRICE VATICANA VATICAN CITY 1998 CONGREGATION FOR CATHOLIC EDUCATION CONGREGATION FOR THE CLERGY JOINT DECLARATION AND INTRODUCTION JOINT DECLARATION The permanent Diaconate, restored by the Second Vatican Council, in complete continuity with ancient Tradition and the specific decision of the Council of Trent, has flourished in these last decades in many parts of the Church — with promising results, especially for the urgent missionary work of new evangelisation. The Holy See and many Episcopates, in promoting this ecclesial experience, have continually afforded norms and guidelines for the life and formation of deacons. The growth of the permanent Diaconate, however, now gives rise to a need for a certain unity of direction and clarification of concepts, as well as for practical encouragement and more clearly defined pastoral objectives. The total reality of the Diaconate — embracing its fundamental doctrinal vision, discernment of vocation, as well as the life, ministry, spirituality and formation of deacons — calls for a review of the journey thus far made, so as to arrive at a global vision of this grade of Sacred Orders corresponding to the desire and intention of the Second Vatican Council. Following the publication of the Ratio fundamentalis institutionis sacerdotalis on priestly formation and the Directory on the Ministry and Life of Priests, the Congregation for Catholic Education and the Congregation for the Clergy, completing the treatment of what pertains to the Diaconate and the Priesthood, the objects of their competence, now wish to devote particular consideration to the subject of the permanent Diaconate.

  • A Note from Fr. Greg
    A Note from Fr. Greg Note from Fr. A GREGORY THE GREAT Now that we are firmly in Ordinary time and our gospels concern themselves with the teachings of Jesus Christ, I’d like to write about the saint whose feast day was September 3rd, Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church. The story of Saint Gregory is very interesting. He was the son of Gordianus, a Roman regionarius and Saint Sylvia of Rome, nephew of Saint Emiliana and Saint Tarsilia, great-grandson of Pope Saint Felix III. He was educated by the finest teachers in Rome and entered government service. At the age of 30, he became the prefect of Rome, essentially the mayor, for a year. He then became a Benedictine monk. He sold his possessions, turned his home into a Benedictine monastery, and used the proceeds to build six monasteries in Sicily and another in Rome. He was ordained a deacon and became the pope’s legate or repre- sentative to the Roman emperor, who was in Constantinople. Upon seeing English children being sold in the Roman Forum, he became a missionary to England. He was elected 64th Pope by unanimous acclamation on 3 September 590, the first monk to be chosen. He sent Saint Augustine (of Canterbury) and a company of monks to evangelize England, as well as other missionaries to France, Spain and Africa. He collected melodies and plainchant, so associated with him, that they are now known as Gregorian Chants. One of the four great doctors of the Latin Church, he authored several important works on the Mass and Divine Office and morals.

  • The Mystery of Christian Power
    THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTIAN POWER The Christian Roman Empire and its Old Testament Origins to the Fall of Constantinople (1453) Vladimir Moss © Vladimir Moss, 2009 It is he that shall build the Temple of the Lord, and shall bear royal honour, and shall sit and rule upon his throne. And there shall be a priest by his throne, and peaceful understanding shall be between them both. Zechariah 6.13. From Him and through Him [the Word of God] the king who is dear to God receives an image of the Kingdom that is above and so in imitation of that greater King himself guides and directs the course of everything on earth… He looks up to see the archetypal pattern and guides those whom he rules in accordance with that pattern… The basic principle of kingly authority is the establishment of a single source of authority to which everything is subject. Monarchy is superior to every other constitution and form of government. For polyarchy, where everyone competes on equal terms, is really anarchy and discord. Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea, Oration in Honour of Constantine, 1, 3. When by Divine decree I was elected to the empire, then amidst the many needs of the State I was occupied by none more than the need for the Orthodox and true faith of the Christians, which is holy and pure, to remain without doubts in the souls of all... Holy Emperor Marcian, Acts of the Fourth Ecumenical Council. If the Emperor forgets the fear of God, he will inevitably fall into sin and be changed into a despot, he will not be able to keep to the customs established by the Fathers, and by the intrigues of the devil he will do that which is unworthy and contrary to the commandments of God, he will become hateful to the people, the senate and the Church, he will become unworthy to be called a Christian, he will be deprived of his post, will be subject to anathema, and, finally, will be killed as the ‘common enemy’ of all Romans, both ‘those who command’ and ‘those who obey’.

  • St Botolph (Botwulf) and Iken
    ST BOTOLPH (BOTWULF) AND IKEN. BY FRANCISSEYMOURSTEVENSON. The importance of St. Botolph, as one of the foremost missionaries of.the seventh century and as a pioneer of the Benedictine Rule in England, is attested by the dedication of more than seventy churches, by the five towns and villages which recall his name, by the frequent references to his buildingof the Monastery of Ikanhoe in 654, by the visit St. Ceolfrid paid to him among the " Eastern Angles" in or about 670 for the purpose of studying his institutions, and by the posthumous honours accorded to his memory and to his relics. .The destruction of Ikanhoe in 870, two centuries after his time, accounts in part for the scanty and confused character of the materials relating to his life, but their meaning has been obscured by the assumption, repeated even within the last few years by one writer after another, without examination or mis- giving, that Ikanhoe was in Lincolnshire. That St. - Botolph may, in the course of his labours, have visited the Witham is probable, but there is no evidence either in support of the Boston tradition,. to which Higden refers, or in favour of Leland's supposition that Wickanford, a suburb of Lincoln, was the site of Ikanhoe. Ikanhoe must .be sought within the limits of the East Anglian Kingdom, and the purpose of this paper is to show (1) that the identification of Ikanhoe with Iken—a view held by Lord John Hervey, the translator of the Suffolkportion of Domesday, by Miss F. Arnold Forster in her " Studies in Church Dedi- cations," and by J.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ THE CROSS OF JESUS The perception of a cross changed dramatically after Jesus’ crucifixion. Before that event, death on a cross was not only horrible, it was degrading. It was a penalty reserved only for the most wretched of criminals. The word “glory” would not have found its way into the same sentence containing the word “cross.” But all that changed with Jesus. Over time, believers began to venerate and honor the cross. They painted, sculpted, and carved images of it. Many lost their own lives for their association with it. Today our reverence for and relationship with the cross recalls little of the contempt originally associated with it. As it has been through the ages, it is our perception of the cross that determines how we follow Jesus. — Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. The Virtue of Hope: How Confidence in God can lead to Heaven Fr. Philip Bochanski In this marvelous series of reflections on Hope, adapted from a series of talks, Father Philip Bochanski not only lays out what hope is but, also shows how we can exercise this theological virtue, through being daring, changing our ways, serving the Lord, struggling, suffering, and praying.

  • St. Paul As a Model and Teacher in the Writings of St. Gregory the Great
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA St. Paul as a Model and Teacher in the Writings of St. Gregory the Great A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Sacred Theology Doctorate By Brendan P. Lupton Washington, D.C. 2013 St. Paul as a Model and Teacher in the Writings of St. Gregory the Great Brendan P. Lupton, S.T.D. Director Susan Wessel, Ph.D. The Apostle Paul plays an important role in the writings of Gregory the Great, who reserves such distinguished titles for him as egregius praedicator, magnus regendi artifex, and peritus medicus. Gregory cites the Apostle more often than any other scriptural author in the Pastoral Rule and Paul is the second most frequent biblical source in the Moralia outside of the Gospels. Given this prominence, it is worth examining how Gregory uses the letters of Paul in his writings. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze Gregory’s portrayal of Paul as a model Christian, as a model pastor, as a model preacher and as a teacher for clerics. This dissertation will follow the method of historical literary criticism to examine how Gregory uses Paul. The first section provides a summary of how the deeds of the saints function within Gregory’s narrative, which will help to explain Gregory’s intentions for using Paul. The second section will examine Gregory’s portrayal of Paul as a model Christian, which will include Gregory’s description of Paul as a model of virtue, detachment, and conversion.
