CONVERGING IN CHRIST “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where [I] am going you know the way.” Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” - John 14:1-7 Fall Issue CONTENTS

12 PATRICIAN MAGAZINE | FALL 2016 MAINMESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

Rev. Gladstone H. Stevens, PSS President-Rector

Rev. Gladstone H. Stevens, PSS, received his PhD in Systematic Theology from Marquette University. He was ordained for the Archdiocese of Louisville in 2000 and has been with the Society of St. Sulpice since 2002. He taught Systematic Theology and Philosophy for six years and served as Vice Rector and France Merrick University Chair at St. Mary’s Seminary & University in Baltimore Maryland. He served as Vice Rector and Academic Dean, Dean of Men and now as the President-Rector of St. Patrick’s Seminary & University.

he Sulpician Fathers have been engaged in the work of priestly formation in the United States for 225 years. This is an appropriate time to reflect upon our legacy and spiritual Theritage. As a means towards achieving this goal, we should begin by asking what is at the heart of the French School of Spirituality. The Sulpicians emerged from this tradition and it is from this approach to spiritual life that our distinctive way of priestly formation takes it direction. I would suggest that Adoration is at the center of the French School of Spirituality and its vision of the priesthood. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has argued that humanity begins when there are beings capable Jesus, living in Mary, of worship, praise and adoration. God created the Come and live in your servants: cosmos for no other reason than to communicate His love and glory and He seeks to bring forth creatures in the spirit of your holiness, able to reflect these purposes with mind and in the fullness of your power, freedom. This is the very meaning of humanity: the human person is that creature who can, through the in the perfection of your ways, exercise of intelligence and will, give proper praise to in the truth of your virtues, the Creator God. In other words, humans are never more complete than when they adore. in the communion of your mysteries. Sin, however, vitiates our ability to adore God. One Overcome every hostile power, consequence of our fallen condition is that we become in your Spirit, self-adoring, thus impoverished as persons. When God is not given His love and praise, the basis for for the glory of the Father. human dignity and ethical action is compromised. Thus if we are to be saved and our likeness to God Amen. healed, then we must be retrained in adoration.

PATRICIAN MAGAZINE | FALL 2016 13 This summarizes the mission of Jesus in the works of the French School. God became a man and indeed became the perfect adorer of God. Pierre Cardinal de Berulle writes, MAIN “This adoration is new…it was unknown to earth and heaven in former times. For although heaven previously had adoring spirits and an adored God, it had not yet had an adoring God.” The teachers of the French School believe that Christ saves us precisely by bringing us into His act of adoration. His teachings, healings, death, Resurrection, and Ascension serve to break down those barriers which prevent us from giving glory to God. Once these obstacles to adoration are removed, then and only then can we cooperate with God in the work of establishing the new creation. The founder of the Society of St. Sulpice, Fr. Jean Jacques Olier, believed that priests must continue Christ’s work of bringing a suffering humanity back into the state of adoration. To this end, he believed it was essential that the figure of Christ the Priest must be impressed upon the total being of the seminarian. Father Olier states, “Our Lord Jesus Christ came into this world to bring love and respect for His Father and to establish His reign and religion.” The priest candidate must therefore make Christ’s own love and respect for God the Father his own. In this way, the seminarian can live the life of Jesus. The path that Father Olier charts for the seminarian and the priest begins with adoration of Christ (Jesus before my eyes) which in turn leads to communion with Christ (Jesus and my heart). This culminates finally, in the ability to cooperate with Christ (Jesus in my hands). What Father Olier and the first Sulpicians offer is a distinct approach to forming men into the priesthood of Our Lord. Deep and consistent adoration of Jesus is how His virtues are communicated to a person and therefore the condition of possibility to act and speak in His name. Only a man habituated to adoration can be a teacher and guide of adoration within a community of faith. Perhaps now more so than ever, we should come to an appreciation of how crucial authentic adoration is for humanity. When our minds and hearts are not directed towards God in love and adoration, then what emerges is a culture of narcissism and entitlement. In such a climate, justice cannot flourish, nor does the work of mercy thrive. Let us all join together in not only remembering the Sulpician heritage but to commit ourselves to fostering its spirit and best ideals.

by Rev. Mr. Alfred Omar Guerrero

he annual Community Day festivities were underway on a cool sunny Friday morning at the seminary. Both seminarians and faculty members gathered at the Cur House for the T“Blessing of Athletes” given by President-Rector and Sulpician Father Gladstone Stevens. Teams this year were divided by class level with the exception of the smaller classes that combined forces. All the teams competed against each other for the bragging rights for the title of Community Day Champions and the generous seminary-paid class outing/dinner. This day of no classes and study was designed to increase the fraternal bond amongst the seminarians and wider seminary community. The planning team scheduled a full day of activities that included capture the flag, minute to win it games, seminary jeopardy, and seminary-adapted water polo. The day ended after communal evening prayer and a BBQ at the Cur House. The title of Community Day Champions for the school year 2016 went to Theology III, who immediately displayed pride in their victory.
