These words of our Savior seem to be in stark con- trast to the previous chapter from the same Gospel, when we were told that if we do not take up our crosses, we are not worthy of Christ. Con- necting these two messages might help us on our faith journeys. Being a follower of Christ surely means that we must embrace the Cross, in its mystery of both suffering and triumph. This is something that we need not do alone, for the burden is often too heavy for us to carry by our- selves. Who, then, do we turn to? We can turn to the Body of Christ—the community of disciples gathered for worship. When we find the burden too heavy, let us remember that we can share that burden with our Chris- tian sisters and brothers, who can help bring us rest. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

  • Matthew 20:17-28 Then the Mother of James and John Came with Her
    Matthew 20:17-28 Then the mother of James and John came with her sons to make a request of Jesus, and bowed low; and he said to her, ‘What is it you want?’ She said to him, ‘Promise that these two sons of mine may sit one at your right hand and the other at your left in your kingdom.’ ‘You do not know what you are asking’ Jesus answered. ‘Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?’ They replied, ‘We can.’ ‘Very well,’ he said ‘you shall drink my cup, but as for seats at my right hand and my left, these are not mine to grant; they belong to those to whom they have been allotted by my Father.’ When the other ten heard this, they were indignant with the two brothers. You may be tempted to accuse James and John of vain ambition, especially since the other Apostles were indignant, but I believe, with St. John Henry Cardinal Newman that this was not vain ambition, rather Noble Ambition, Magnanimity, the virtue to desire and do great things for the love of God and souls. 2 They asked to reign with Christ. He in answer told them: • Not that they were guaranteed of it • But that they must venture for it, strive after it St Jerome says, “Jesus said not, ‘You shall not sit there,’ that He might not discourage the two brothers; neither did He say, ‘You shall sit there,’ that He might not stir the others to anger; but by holding up the prize before all, He might encourage all to strive for Him.

  • Pastoral Plan for Worship St. Joan of Arc Church
    Second Sunday of Advent December 6, 2020 PASTORAL PLAN FOR WORSHIP ST. JOAN OF ARC CHURCH The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, issued by Bishop da Cunha, remains in effect until further notice. Those who are most vulnerable and at a greater risk due to age, preexisting health conditions, or in close proximity to vulnerable people are encouraged to remain home at this time. If you or a close loved one show symptoms of illness, please refrain from coming to church. The weekend Mass schedule here at St. Joan of Arc Church remains unchanged… Saturday at 5:00pm, Sunday at 8:00am and 10:00am. During the week Mass is celebrated Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:00am. Per state regulations, gatherings cannot exceed 40% of a house of worship’s occupancy capacity. Taking into account social distancing of 6 feet between people or households, means only approximately 3 people in every other pew. All worshippers enter the church through the Main Entrance. For safety and order, a person will not be able to choose a specific seat. A specially trained group of greeters will assist people to their seats. Once we reach our occupancy limit, we will not be able to admit others. Charity, cooperation and understanding are asked of all. Everyone entering the church is required to wear a mask or other face covering. Please provide your own masks. While there is hand sanitizer available in the foyer, please consider providing your own, if you can, as supply is limited. There are receptacles at the entrance of the church in which you may place your contribution to the parish as you enter.

  • JANUARY MESSAGE from FR. PAUL LANDOLFI This
    JANUARY MESSAGE FROM FR. PAUL LANDOLFI This month, we reflect on our founder, Adele ( Mother Mary of the Incarnation), and Therese de Lamourous. They were key players in the Sodality of Bordeaux, Blessed Fr. Chaminade's work of predilection. They were partners in the origins of the Marianist Family. I am finding that these lives of our “saints” blend together. Isn’t this the way it works for all of us? Saints make saints. The Marianist Family produces saints because its members are trying to become saints. Mary Immaculate was their original inspiration. She still is that for us today. Many of the Marianist religious and lay communities still renew their consecration to Mary around this feast. The offering this month was the homily for the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception's celebration this year. Once again after many years it was held in the chapel at Chaminade High School, Mineola, N.Y., where the group came together on Dec. 28, 1958, more than 50 years ago. We have some good news to share. While I attended a meeting in St. Louis, I was able to telephone Rachel Lozano. We celebrated this year, her 10th anniversary since she heard the news that she had cancer. It will be nine years in May that there is no sign of cancer. She attributes this to the intercession of our Founder. May God be glorified! Let us redouble our prayers that the cause of Blessed Fr. Chaminade will continue to move forward in Rome. We await God’s “fullness of time.” We have also heard that the Province of France has introduced the cause of Fr.

  • Dedication of the Church of Jumieges, Normandy, France (1067) the Benedictine Abbey of Jumieges in Normandy Has an Ancient and Remarkable History
    Marian Calendar July 1 - Dedication of the Church of Jumieges, Normandy, France (1067) The Benedictine abbey of Jumieges in Normandy has an ancient and remarkable history. Founded in the year 654 by Saint Philibert, it was once one of the magnificent Benedictine monasteries in France, and the home of some 700 monks with over twice that number of lay brothers. Sadly, it is now nothing more than a tourist attraction, and the vestiges of the surviving structures, though vacant, scarred, and exposed to the elements, are celebrated as a magnificent example of Romanesque art. All that remains standing today are the church of Notre Dame with its impressive twin towers soaring to a height of 150 feet, the western façade, and sections of what were once the cloisters and library. The rest is but a pile of rubble, though it is proudly proclaimed the largest medieval ruin in France. 2 - Feast of the Visitation of Our Lady, instituted in 1385 by Pope Urban IV Mary’s first thought after the Archangel’s visit was to hasten to the little city of Ain Kharin and congratulate her cousin Elizabeth on the wonderful event about to take place. As Mary hastened along, those who met her little realized that she bore the Son of God – outwardly humble, sweet, and gracious to all. So the little girl from Nazareth passed unobserved upon her way. But as she raised her voice in loving salutation to Elizabeth, when entering the house, a marvelous thing happened, for the unborn infant in Elizabeth’s womb leaped for joy as he heard the voice of God’s Mother sounding in his ears.

Carroll: A Survey of Recent Mariology A SURVEY OF RECENT MARIOLOGY From the scattered riches of writings about our Lady from i979, the single theme strong enough to receive top billing is the aspect of Marian pilgrimage. As we heard from Bishop Vaughan earlier in this convention, Pope John Paul II's travels took him to capital Marian shrines in Poland, Ireland and Mex­ ico, among other places. It was the lOOth anniversary of the appearance of our Lady at Knock in County Mayo, Ireland, and the centenary also of the death of St. Bernadette of Lourdes. The international ecumenical conference held in England late September and early October began at London, continued at Oxford, but ended at the pre-Reformation shrine of Our Lady of Caversham, with Father Alfred Boeddeker, O.F.M., of San Francisco, as the final speaker.
