He said: “In the second reading, Saint Paul speaks of Abraham, who, ‘hoping against hope, believed’ (Rom 4:18). Hoping against hope! Today too, amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others. To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open up a horizon of hope; it is to let a shaft of light break through the heavy clouds; it is to bring the warmth of hope! For believers, for us Christians, like Abraham, like Saint Joseph, the hope that we bring is set against the horizon of God, which has opened up before us in Christ. It is a hope built on the rock which is God.” The Community of St. Augustine’s has a long and rich history of bringing hope to those in need, a tradition which continues to flourish. Dedicated parishioners continue to make sandwiches for the homeless every week. There are wonderful people who come every two weeks and fill the student center with the wonderful smell of soup – being made for the homeless to eat. The St. Vincent de Paul Society stands ready to assist those who come to the front office in need. We continue to support Faith House and other Habitat for Humanity Projects. Families in inner-city parochial schools receive food vouchers and toys because of the generosity of the people of St. Augustine. Throughout the past few years this community has supported the building of a clinic in Africa, orphanages in Haiti, charitable works in the South Pacific and South America, the Missionaries of Charity in Miami, and so many other worthy ministries in need. Catholic Campus Ministry has received from this community the same zeal to serve those in need, and they run with it with youthful joy. “DUC IN ALTUM,” our vision document for Catholic Campus Ministry reminds us that “students are formed to be people for others, people who work to create a just society, through experiences such as service projects and retreats, respect life activities, and ecological projects.” Indeed, every month a service project is organized locally. Several times a year, during fall break, winter recess, spring break, and summer, students are offered opportunities to go away on service trips throughout Florida and in Haiti. They give up vacation time to meet face-to- face with those in need. Another area of service that is part of the tradition of St. Augustine’s is support for the ABCD – the Archbishop’s Charities and Development appeal, in which parishioners are asked to support Archbishop Wenski in caring for those in need throughout the three counties of the Archdiocese of Miami. We will hear from the Archbishop this weekend and have an opportunity to pray over our responsibilities to our brothers and sisters. The ABCD goal for St. Augustine is $279,478. The annual assessment for St. Augustine is $95,606.88. This makes our combined responsibility to the Archdiocese of Miami $375,084.88. Let us continue the great tradition of support for those in need. I ask that you bring all this to prayer and be as generous as you can as we answer the call to be vehicles of hope in the midst of the world. Being a University Parish – A School of Prayer and Center for the New Evangelization, we find our strength in the Eucharist. This encounter does not turn us in on ourselves, but very clearly calls us to unite as one body – especially with those most in need. Let us end our reflection with the words of Blessed John Paul II: “There is one other point which I would like to emphasize, since it significantly affects the authenticity of our communal sharing in the Eucharist. It is the impulse which the Eucharist gives to the community for a practical commitment to building a more just and fraternal society. In the Eucharist our God has shown love in the extreme, overturning all those criteria of power which too often govern human relations and radically affirming the criterion of service: ‘If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all’ (Mc 9:35). It is not by chance that the Gospel of John contains no account of the institution of the Eucharist, but instead relates the ‘washing of feet’ (cf. Jn 13:1-20): by bending down to wash the feet of his disciples, Jesus explains the meaning of the Eucharist unequivocally. Saint Paul vigorously reaffirms the impropriety of a Eucharistic celebration lacking charity expressed by practical sharing with the poor (cf.1Cor 11:17-22, 27-34).” 3 A University Parish: School of Prayer and Center for the New Evangelization THIS This WEEK Week AT at Sunday, January 26 Archbishop’s Charities & Development Thursday, January 30 Drive - Commitment Weekend 12:30 p.m. : Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament with Adoration until 7:00 p.m. Monday, January 27 7:00 p.m. : Holy Hour with Benediction until 8:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. : RCIA Class - Lounge 7:00 p.m. : Ignatian Prayer Group Informational Meeting - Lounge Tuesday, January 28 8:00 p.m.
