Beginning March 8th — in order to receive Holy Communion, please take your seats on the St. Joseph side inclusion of the Church. The front row of chairs will be removed for wheel chairs and other medically sanctioned traveling devices. And the Parking Lot has been repainted for Handicap parking. This will allow our Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion to give you Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament with care. The reasoning for this is the protection of Our Lord who should never be “travelling” to the back of the Church and protect the EM from any harm. Thank you for your understanding in this regard.—Fr. Joseph The Prayer against Pestilence V: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. The town of Coimbra (Portugal) having been visited by a violent pestilence, the nuns of St Clare offered Let us pray their prayers in the following form, whereupon the O God of mercy, God of pity, contagion instantly ceased. This holy prayer, left to God of benign clemency, Thou the above-named monastery, has preserved many Who hast had compassion on places from contagion where it is recited daily with the affliction of Thy people, confidence in God and the intercession of the and hast said to the angel Blessed Virgin Mary. It has arrested this scourge in striking them, “Stop thy hand;” many places. for the love of this glorious Star, whose breasts Stella Caeli Thou didst sweetly drink as antidote for our crimes, grant The Star of Heaven that nourished the Lord the assistance of Thy grace, drove away the plague of death which the first that we may be safely freed parents of man brought into the world.

Save us, O Jesus, livest and reignest, world with- for whom Thy Virgin Mother supplicates Thee. out end. Learning and Understanding Our Faith Rebuilding The Church: Fr. Roger J. Landry If you go to St. Peter’s basilica in Rome, you’ll notice some very important symbolism. Outside the basilica, in St. Peter’s Square, you find the beautiful arms of Bernini’s colonnades. 140 saints are there, mainly from the early Church and from the time of the Counter-Reformation. They’re all standing directly on top of the columns. When you look at the façade of the basilica, you’ll find the apostles standing directly on top of the façade’s pillars and pilasters. When you go inside the basilica, you find the saints of the religious orders that were crucial in the counter-Reformation in huge niches standing inside the pillars that are holding up the vault of the basilica. Why in those places? Because the architectural design was intentionally meant to teach a central truth of how the Church of God is built, a fundamental truth in response to the scan- dals of the era. The Church is ultimately made of men, not marble, specifically of saints, living stones, built on the cornerstone who is Christ, into a spiritual house. The saints are the foundations, they are the pillars that hold up the Church. All authentic reform involves a radical return to Christ, the cornerstone. All authentic reform goes to the soundness of these living pillars. St. Charles Borromeo In the history of the Church, one of the greatest reformers who ever lived was St. Charles Borromeo. He was made a Cardinal by his uncle, Pope Pius IV, in his early 20s, but, at least in his case, this nepotism was a great gift of God. He was the crucial figure in the last session of the Council of Trent and in the implementation of the Council at a universal level, supervising the compilation of the Catechism of the Council of Trent as well as the reform of liturgical books and Church music. He was named administrator of the huge archdiocese of Milan in his 20s and Archbishop in his early 30s. While the Pope wished to have him by his side, St. Charles Borromeo begged to be allowed to go to his see to effect the needed reform. Eventually his wish was granted. Milan was in a deplorable state. The sheer magnitude of the task facing him was enough to paralyze an average man, but he had trust in the Lord and trust in the Holy Spirit’s guiding the Church. When he arrived in 1566, he preached his first homily on Jesus’ words, “I have earnestly desired to eat the passover with you,” a symbol of his great love for his people already and his desire for communion with them, but also an indication that, like the Lord who said those words to the apostles at the beginning of the Last Supper, he knew he was likewise going to suffer. His first action was to call a provincial council of his ten suffragan bishops, to implement the decreees of Council of Trent for the discipline and training of the clergy, the celebration of divine service, the administration of the sacraments, and the giving of catechism. He regulated his household, which had a staff of about 100 clergy, opposed all ostentation and luxury and sold most of his effects for the relief of the poor and needy. He arranged for retreats for his clergy and himself went twice annually on retreat. He confessed every morning before Mass. Despite the fact that he was very short and spoke with a speech impediment, he preached constantly and gave catechesis to the people. He was the inaugurator of Sunday schools, teaching many of the lessons himself in the various parishes of the Archdiocese. He confronted the lax religious orders and forced them to reform, with the help of the Pope on some occasions, with the help of the civil arm on others. He displaced unworthy clergy and replaced them with priests who were capable of restoring faith and morals. He founded three seminaries for the training of holy and zealous clergy. When there was a famine, he himself fed 3000 daily for three months. When the plague hit in 1575, he exhausted his resources to feed 60,000 people daily, personally ministering to the dying for three years.

  • The Dean and the Deanery
    7 DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA Diocesan policy on THE DEANERY AND THE ROLE OF THE DEAN THE DEANERY How is the universal Catholic Church structured? The whole people of God is a communion of dioceses, each entrusted to the pastoral leadership and care of a bishop. The diocese is then ‘divided into distinct parts or parishes’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.1). Each parish is by nature an integral part of the diocese. What then is a deanery? ‘To foster pastoral care by means of common action, several neighbouring parishes can be joined together in special groupings, such as deaneries’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.2). Each deanery is led by a Dean appointed by the bishop to act in his name. In a scattered diocese such as ours, with many small parishes, working together in deaneries can be very fruitful, not only for the mutual support and care of the clergy, but also for pastoral and spiritual collaboration at local level. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of the clergy, priests and deacons, diocesan and religious, of that grouping of parishes. All are expected to attend such meetings and participate as fully as possible in deanery life and work. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of lay representatives of each parish with all the clergy of the deanery, so as to facilitate active participation by lay people in local pastoral action and decision-making. The following norms for the role of the Dean came into effect from 21 November 2003. THE ROLE OF THE DEAN 1.

  • HOLY DOORS Holy Door Is to Make the Journey Istock That Every Christian Is Called to Make, to Go from Darkness to N My Last Bishop’S Message, We Talked Light
    BISHOP’S MESSAGE On Dec. 8, this Holy Door at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome was opened for pilgrims to walk through. (churches of special significance) and each has its own Holy Door. These doors are normally walled up from the inside and could not be opened every day. During jubilee years, the walls are broken down and the doors are opened so pilgrims can walk through and gain the plenary indulgence connected with the jubilee year. The symbolism of the Holy Door becomes apparent when one considers what happens at the door of a church: it is where we pass from this world into the holy presence of God. Here, the priest or deacon welcomes the parents of the baby brought to be baptized into the Church; here, too, he greets the bride and groom at the beginning of their wedding liturgy; and finally, the church door is where the priest meets the casket of the deceased at the beginning of his or her funeral. In the words of our Holy Father Francis, “There is only one way that opens wide the entrance into the life of communion with God: this is Jesus, the one and absolute way to salvation. To Him alone can the words of the Psalmist be applied in full truth: ‘This is the door of the Lord where the just may enter.’” (Psalm 118:20) The church door is, literally and figuratively, the way to Christ. The Holy Door takes this symbolism one step further. To pass through a HOLY DOORS Holy Door is to make the journey iStock that every Christian is called to make, to go from darkness to n my last Bishop’s Message, we talked light.

  • CTR EDITORIAL (1000 Words)
    CTR n.s.16/2 (Spring 2019) 49–66 Sola Scriptura, the Fathers, and the Church: Arguments from the Lutheran Reformers Carl L. Beckwith Beeson Divinity School Samford University, Birmingham, AL I. INTRODUCTION I learned to show this reverence and respect only to those books of the scriptures that are now called canonical so that I most firmly believe that none of their authors erred in writing anything. And if I come upon something in those writings that seems contrary to the truth, I have no doubt that either the manuscript is defective or the translator did not follow what was said or that I did not understand it. I, however, read other authors in such a way that, no matter how much they excel in holiness and learning, I do not suppose that something is true by reason of the fact that they thought so, but because they were able to convince me either through those canonical authors or by plausible reason that it does not depart from the truth.1 Augustine to Jerome, Letter 82 Martin Luther and his reforming colleagues maintained that Scripture alone determines the articles of faith. All that the church believes, teaches, and confesses rests upon the authority of the canonical scriptures, upon the unique revelation of God himself through his prophets and apostles. Luther declares, “It will not do to make articles of faith out of 1Augustine, Letter 82.3 in Letters 1–99, trans.

  • Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years After Sacrosanctum Concilium: an Assessment KEITH F
    Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years after Sacrosanctum Concilium: An Assessment KEITH F. PECKLERS, S.J. Next December 4 will mark the forty-fifth anniversary of the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, which the Council bishops approved with an astounding majority: 2,147 in favor and 4 opposed. The Constitution was solemnly approved by Pope Paul VI—the first decree to be promulgated by the Ecumenical Council. Vatican II was well aware of change in the world—probably more so than any of the twenty ecumenical councils that preceded it.1 It had emerged within the complex social context of the Cuban missile crisis, a rise in Communism, and military dictatorships in various corners of the globe. President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated only twelve days prior to the promulgation of Sacrosanctum Concilium.2 Despite those global crises, however, the Council generally viewed the world positively, and with a certain degree of optimism. The credibility of the Church’s message would necessarily depend on its capacity to reach far beyond the confines of the Catholic ghetto into the marketplace, into non-Christian and, indeed, non-religious spheres.3 It is important that the liturgical reforms be examined within such a framework. The extraordinary unanimity in the final vote on the Constitution on the Liturgy was the fruit of the fifty-year liturgical movement that had preceded the Council. The movement was successful because it did not grow in isolation but rather in tandem with church renewal promoted by the biblical, patristic, and ecumenical movements in that same historical period.
