ST. PAUL ON THE LAKE CATHOLIC CHURCH Reporter
157 Lake Shore Road | Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan 48236 | 313.885.8855 | stpaulonthelake.org September 13, 2020 Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time THINGS ABOVE FROM FR. BILOT “St. Paul on the Lake Catholic Church is dedicated to forming joyful missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.” (New Parish Mission Statement August 2020) When we are caught in the routine of life we don’t always reflect on the what or why of our doings. A married couple falls into a routine and live the life they grew accustomed to until something shatters the routine and makes them stop and assess why and how they are living the Sacrament of Marriage. As a priest, I can get caught in the daily routine of the priestly lifeawaking to pray a Holy Hour, celebrating mass, heading to the parish office and engaging in the ministry entrusted to my care. This can become routine for me as well, despite the fact that each day unfolds differently. In general, the routine can subtly move us away from the healthy and holy aspects of our lives, our vocation. For myself, a call from the Archbishop asking me to change assignments or a tragedy in the parish community can awaken me from the routine and help restore our focus, our mission as disciples of Jesus Christ. Routine is not a bad thing. The rituals in the Catholic Church, like the celebration of the Holy Mass, is there to create a stability, a comfort and a venue for the Holy Spirit to enter deeply into our hearts. The ritual helps to settle our body, mind and spirit so we can become attentive to Jesus’s Spirit in our being. We must be aware always because our routine or ritual can make us comfortable to the point that we know what happens next (like the parts of the Mass) and we start daydreaming. We must be careful not to become distracted. When we become distracted, disconnected, we lose sight of the why M the mission. On August 31/September 1, we were blessed to have Bishop Robert Fisher (Monday) and Bishop Donald Hanchon (Tuesday) celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation within Mass. The Confirmati, the sponsors and the parents and siblings knew the ritual of the Mass; the unknown was the conferral of the Sacrament of Confirmation. This unknown created an excitement, a nervousness, and drew attention to the Confirmati, which caused an unsettled feeling in their being. Something was going to happen and they didn’t know what to expect, how to respond, or on a spiritual level what to do. Yet within the ritual of the Sacrament of Confirmation stability is present amidst the excitement. The Confirmati were familiar with the church building, what to say and what to do (because of the practice). The unknown is what Jesus was going to do to their soul. For these young women and men, their soul, their essence, their being was ontologically changed. Their soul was configured in a deep and profound way to the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Our newly Confirmed are now empowered in a very deep and unknown way to be joyful missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. To tap into the graces received in the Sacrament of Confirmation (the benefits, the power, the mercy and unconditional love of Jesus Christ), they need to be in constant watch for the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Like the watchmen in the days of the Old Testament, who announced to the King if an enemy was approaching or a friendly messenger was bringing good news. Like the Watchman of old, the Confirmati need to be on the lookout for what is on the horizon. As a joyful missionary disciple, our Confirmati, and all of us within the Catholic Church, we need to be able to bring good news to Jesus. How do we do this? Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (given to us in the Sacrament of Confirmation). Joy is an effect of love (love is willing the good of the other M St. Thomas Aquinas.) Since we are unable to contain our love, we desire to share it through our compassion, mercy and forgiveness. We model joy because we have lived love. Thus the love shown and lived reflects our configuration to Jesus Christ. True love that takes us out of ourselves, will be filled with sacrifice, suffering and excitement (like the life of Jesus.) In order for us to love like Jesus, because we are his disciples, we need power. It cannot be human power. It needs to be the power of the Holy Spirit. The power comes through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation configures our soul to tap into the gifts of the Holy Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding, Right Judgement, Knowledge, Courage, Reverence, and Wonder and Awe. Through prayer we ask the Holy Spirit to “fire up” these gifts so that we indeed will to love. In turn, in love, we become joyful missionary disciples of Jesus Christ. St. Paul Parish will be a fire in the community if we all pray and use the Holy Spirit to bring good news to Jesus Christ. Watch and respond, using the Holy Spirit as your guide. Peace, Fr. Jim Bilot

(Fr.) Colin’s Column An introduction to inspirational information Special Edition! In this column I intend to offer some suggestions for what to do in Eucharistic Adoration. 1. Being with the Lord is the primary goal here. The Apostles were with the Lord constantly and learned from Him by being with Him. Our culture tells us to keep on ‘doing’ but we first need to recognize that our ‘being’ is good. This can include resting with the Lord! 2. Honestly sharing with Jesus and attentively listening to Him… the A RRR method. This stands for Acknowledge, Relate, Receive, Respond. It is taught to seminarians and you can find information about it online. a. Acknowledge = being honest and aware about what is happening in your heart; Tired? Frustrated? Joyful? b. Relate = express your acknowledgement to God. Lord, I am too tired to pray! c. Receive = Listen to God’s response about what you related. This takes quite within yourself and a calming of distraction … good to do at the beginning. d. Respond = Thanksgiving to God? Action? Surrender? Journaling? 3. Spiritual reading. Perhaps the Bible, work of a saint, or a book on doctrine. 4. Rosary. Then you are with Jesus and Mary! St Padre Pio called the Rosary the weapon for these times. 5. Examen Prayer. St. Ignatius has a lot to say about this, but it is taking time to see how God worked in your day/ heart. Many times we see only frustrating things, but he encourages us to see the good. 6. Similar to the Examen = “Thoughtful Men and Women of God a Guide to Contemplative Prayer.” This is a method to review your life with God. Search the whole title online and you will get a free PDF
3 Dispensaon from Mass extended unl Monday, November 23; Catholics obligated to connue keeping holy the Lord's Day
The Communicaons Department shares the following message from Father Stephen Pullis, Director of the Department of Evangelizaon and Missionary Discipleship and member of the liturgical team advising Archbishop Vigneron during the coronavirus pandemic: In light of the connued spread of the coronavirus in southeast Michigan and the impossibility for parishes to safely accommodate all Catholics for Mass on Sundays, Archbishop Vigneron has extendedthe dispensaon from the obligaon to aend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligaon for all the faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit, as well as for all travelers during their me within the territory of the Archdiocese of Detroit, unl Monday, November 23, 2020. While the dispensaon from the grave obligaon to aend Sunday Mass is in effect, all bapzed Catholics are reminded of the grave necessity they have to keep holy the Lord’s Day. Archbishop Vigneron wrote a pastoral note entled “The Day of the Lord” lile more than one year ago calling to mind this important spiritual obligaon. As the day of the Resurrecon of our Lord, Chrisans from the earliest days set Sunday apart as a day unlike others. When it is not possible to parcipate in person in the Sacrifice of the Mass, it is vitally important for every member of the Catholic Church to nourish his or her soul during these days. This means culvang a prayer life in their homes, reading Sacred Scripture T especially the prescribed readings for the Sunday Mass T and making Christ the center of one’s home and being his disciple the central identy of one’s life. It also means connuing to understand Sunday as a day set apart for the Lord. This means acvies on Sunday should be different from the pursuits of the rest of the week. Prayer and me for God, me for family, and works of charity should be central to a Catholic’s Sunday.
The obligaon to aend Mass (when not dispensed) on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligaon is a grave call for us who have been incorporated into Christ by our bapsm to share in the sacrifice of Christ to the Father. It is an obligaon that we worship God in a way far superior to our most creave and ingenious efforts because it is not our work but Christ’s. Therefore, we enter into the work of Christ (as members of his body) and we share in the graces of this sacrificial worship. While the dispensaon remains in effect, it is imperave that we remember what awesomeness it is to parcipate at Mass, parcularly in receiving Christ in the Holy Eucharist. To lose the centrality of the Mass in our lives would be a spiritual tragedy. A general dispensaon to all the faithful has been given so as not to unduly bind the consciences of those who are greatly troubled by the destrucve potency of the coronavirus as well as to care for the most vulnerable among us.Catholics who engage in other acvies that would present a similar or greater risk of contaminaon (eang out at restaurants, traveling, nonRessenal shopping, widening one’s circle of contacts, etc.)should begin to return to Sunday Mass as they are able.While one does not commit a mortal sin by absenng one’s self during these days due to the dispensaon, one would be deprived of the immeasurable spiritual graces Christ desires for his faithful when they acvely parcipate in the Mass. Archbishop Vigneron and his advisors will connue to monitor and adjust this dispensaon as needed for the spiritual and physical health of Catholics in southeast Michigan. Let us connue to invoke our patroness St. Anne for her protecon of the faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit and for a swi end to the coronavirus pandemic.

JOIN US AND SPEND TIME WITH JESUS!
Eucharistic Adoration
Tuesdays - 8:45am - 7:00pm
Confessions - 6:30pm - 7:00pm
“A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent in sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.” M St. Padre Pio If you were to be asked what is the greatest of all the moral virtues, would you have guessed “worship”? Perhaps you were thinking faith, hope, or love? Actually the Church teaches that these three virtues are “theological virtues”. This is because they are gifts from God instilled within us at our baptism, to which we respond throughout our Christian lives. But in terms of moral virtues, the Church teaches that the greatest is worship. Huh? Worship is a virtue? Indeed! The Church teaches us that the greatest moral virtue is the virtue of religion, or worship, whereby we give God what he is due. And what is God due? Well, everything of course, since we owe God our very existence and our every breath. But in particular, God deserves our worship, our praise, our thanks, and our adoration. It is true that we honor and venerate Mary, all the saints and angels, and all the heroes of our faith. But we truly worship, or adore, God and God alone. We may worship God interiorly, in our hearts and prayers. But the highest form of worship is public worship in the form of the Sacred Liturgy…the Holy Mass…the Eucharist. Why? Because at Mass, together with the priest who stands in the person of Jesus, we join our prayers of thanks and praise to our Heavenly Father. With these prayers, it is Jesus himself whose sacrifice on the cross is made present on the altar. At Mass we join our hearts with each other as members of the Body of Christ, offering our very lives and persons in unison, in thanksgiving for the redemption won for us by Jesus. And at Mass we are given the unthinkable honor of literally becoming one with Jesus, in consuming his Body and Blood in Holy Communion. This is why the Second Vatican Council says that “the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed…and the font from which all her power flows” (SC 11). Why is the Sacred Liturgy so powerful? Because in the Eucharist, “the whole Christ…body, blood, soul, and divinity…is truly, really and substantially present” (CCC 1374). It is important to remember that the Liturgy is not primarily about us. The Liturgy is first and foremost about what God has done for us. And the most fitting response that we can give to God for what he has done is to give him our highest praise and thanks. Just before the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, the celebrant prays, “It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.” Eucharistic Adoration and Eucharistic Exposition are then beautiful opportunities to offer this same adoration “always and everywhere”, even outside the context of Mass. Eucharistic adoration is prayer before the Eucharist housed within the tabernacle. Eucharistic exposition, on the other hand, is the ritual by which the Blessed Sacrament is displayed outside of the tabernacle in a monstrance for the purpose of public veneration by the faithful. God is complete in Himself. He lacks nothing. And so we worship and adore God not for His sake, but for ours. The worship of the Holy Eucharist outside of Mass is a priceless treasure, and an inexhaustible source of holiness. Saint Pope John Paul II says that "our communal worship at Mass must go together with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in order that our love may be complete." By not only celebrating the Eucharist at Mass, but also in praying before it outside of Mass, we are able to connect on a deeply personal level with the Lord, who is the wellspring of all grace and holiness. As Christ suffers his agony in the garden the night before his crucifixion, he turns to his disciples who have fallen asleep and asks, “Could you not keep watch one hour with me?” (Mt. 24:10). What will your response be? Will you keep watch with the Lord? For in the appearance of bread and wine, He is truly hidden there in the Eucharist…waiting for you…thirsting for you…and longing for your love. “When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host, you understand how much Jesus loves you now”. M St. Teresa of Calcutta 7

Hello Saint Paul Parish, My name is Quinn Johnson and I am a Boy Scout with Troop 6100 of St. Paul on the Lake. I am working to achieve my Eagle rank, the highest rank in Boy Scouts. A lot of people believe the Boy Scouts is all about camping and doing things outdoors. What I have learned is Boy Scouts is really about learning how to be a servant leader. That is why one of the most important requirements to earn Eagle is to lead a project where a Scout can demonstrate the leadership skills they have learned. The Eagle Project should also give back to the community because they helped get the scout to where they are. I decided that I should do something for Saint Paul Church. The parish members have really supported Troop 6100 by donating lots of time and money to make the Troop what it is today, and helped get me to where I am. So I wanted to show my appreciation and give back to you. Father Jim and I worked together to find a need St. Paul had. It was agreed a new Crèche was a great project as the current one is getting old and needing repairs. So I created a design and built a model to show what it would look like. I am happy to say Fr. Jim approved it, along with our Scout Council. I am now getting ready to move forward with the Crèche project.It will be ready for Christmas 2020. Some people have already said they would like to donate to this project. If you would like to, please contact the Church as they will be collecting the funds. Yours in Scouting Quinn Johnson, Troop 6100

CYBER FOR SENIORS Back in 2016, my sister and I started a volunteer program called Cyber for Seniors. We know how much the world has changed due to technology, and how confusing navigating these new programs are. My sister and I wanted to teach the elderly community how to properly use their phones, computers and tablets in order to become more connected with the world. I wanted to reach out to my fellow parishioners at St. Paul, especially during these times where we may not be able to meet face to face with our loved ones, it is important to stay in touch with them. I am more than happy to safely (wearing a mask) meet with anyone who needs my assistance. Please contact me at (313)4344223, or via email: [email protected] if you have any questions or are interested in my services. Hope Whitney
