1325 Royal Avenue, Simi Valley, CA 93065 Dr. Jayne Quinn, Principal Website: www.srls.org 526-5304 • 526-0939 (fax) AFTER SCHOOL CARE 428-8623 St. Rose School Alumni—Teresa Moran Runyon: [email protected] OR www.srls.org/alumni Dear friends, Recently Cardinal Blaise Cupich of Chicago said, “Some of the greatest Christians I know are people who don’t actually have a faith system that they believe in.” I know what Cardinal Cupich was trying to say, but his words were inaccurate. Edward Peters wrote a great commentary on it that I would like to share with you. “When Cardinal Blaise Cupich of Chicago said, “Some of the greatest Christians I know are people who don’t actually have a faith system that they believe in.” I kinda sorta get what he means. Raised as we were by an active Catholic mother and a nominally Methodist father, I had many opportunities to compare religious observances over the years. My mom did what was expected of Catholic moms through those years, God bless her, and I scarcely noticed it. But my dad’s religious conduct (or better, his conduct related to religion) caught my attention. He willingly paid for Catholic schools when there were free public schools just a few blocks away. His Friday dinner was always fish although he would have loved a hamburger. And from time to time, he was the parent who actually made sure we kids got to Mass on Sunday. Thus, when my mother remarked, as she did more than once, that “Your father is the best Catholic in this house”, I knew what she meant. But I also knew what she didn’t mean. She did not mean that dad enjoyed the graces that came with Confirmation, the Eucharist, and Confession (being baptized, he and mom shared in the graces of Matrimony). She certainly did not mean that Catholicism was simply one more option among various belief systems, or none. And she never parlayed my dad’s Christian sensibilities into an ersatz Catholic identity cooked up in gratitude for his support in raising the children Catholic. Why not? If for no other reason, because words meant something in our house. Dad saw to that. These thoughts came to mind when I read Cardinal Cupich’s remarks about some of the “greatest Christians” being people who believe in nothing—or, at any rate, in nothing related to Christ. I can, in a way, appreciate his point for, obviously, people need not have a “faith system” in order to be mature, responsible, loving members of society. But, unless both Cardinal Cupich and his listeners know the personal examples he has in mind (in the way that my mom and I both knew much about my dad), I think it is confusing, in a world where words seem pretty much to mean whatever a speaker wants them to mean, for a prelate of the Catholic Church to refer to people “who don’t actually have a faith system that they believe in” as counting among the greatest Christians, of all things. Greatest people? Sure. Greatest humanitarians? Quite possible. But greatest Christians? Is that not to treat the word “Christian” as devoid of some specific, belief-oriented, content? Consider a related point: Canon 205, rooted in Lumen Gentium 14, sets out three criteria whereby baptized persons are found fully in communion with the Catholic Church, beginning with the profession of faith, and including also participation in sacraments and cooperation with ecclesiastical governance. Those who have, therefore, no “faith system that they believe in”, and who thus cannot claim full communion with the Church, are to be respected, of course, but also prayed for—not held up as role models for Catholics qua Catholics. Indeed, if one’s lack of “a faith system” is the result of an actual repudiation of the Christian faith (suggesting apostasy per Canon 751) one’s need for prayer and an invitation out of disbelief is all the more urgent, these, being among the pastoral points for bishops included in, say, Canon 383. Likewise, I suggest, being “Christian” has something to do with, among other things, professing faith in Christ; being a “great Christian” has something to do with, among other things, proclaiming him boldly; and thus, holding out persons with no discernible beliefs as examples of the “greatest Christians” is not helpful especially in days of so much confusion about the meaning of, and the importance of being, Christian.”

I could agree more. God bless you.

Some scholarships are available. Discover Your Inheritance Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reveals many remarkable gifts that we as Christians are given in the Church. This letter tells us about the nature of the Church – as a body, as a household, as a mystery, as a communion, as a bride, and as an army. It shows us the great inheritance that awaits us as sons and daughters, adopted fully into the family of God. It reveals how God’s great love for us can transform our daily lives if we allow it. Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance is an 8-part Bible study that will enrich your faith, and show you how to live it out. In this study, you will: Discover what it means to be not just a son or daughter of God, but an heir to all he has to give. Learn about the great mystery of how we can love one another as Christ loves the Church. Find out that you have a place in God’s “plan of sheer goodness". For more info: Dr. Neil Fanning 217-4300.

Estimados hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, los invitamos a celebración de la Imagen del Señor de los Milagros aquí en su iglesia de Santa Rosa de Lima, el Sábado 30° de Septiembre en la Misa de 7:00pm. HISTORIA DEL SEÑOR DE LOS MILAGROS, PATRON DE LIMA En 1650, en el barrio de Pachacamilla, de la ciudad de Lima, Perú unos negros esclavos, traídos por los Españoles, construyeron una tosca Ramada, donde realizaban sus reuniones y uno de los esclavos pinto la imagen de Cristo sobre un tosco muro de adobe para cantarle y orar. Hoy, después de tres siglos, la figura se conserva intacta. A partir de Septiembre de 1715, el Señor de los Milagros es venerado como Patrón de la ciudad de Lima. En 1771, se le rindió un gran homenaje al inaugurar la iglesia que hoy es de las Nazarenas. Lima sufrió 3 terribles terremotos, en 1655, 1687 y 1746, este ultimo dejo prácticamente la ciudad de Lima y Pachacamilla muy afectada, la destrucción fue ge- neral, excepto el pequeño recinto de la Capilla del Santo Cristo de los Milagros que nueva- mente desafiando todas las fuerzas de la NATURALEZA, permanecía de pie.

Muchos son los milagros obtenidos por medio de esta Santa Imagen, el primero, la conser- vación de la imagen a pesar de la fragilidad del muro donde estaba pintada y lo abandonado del lugar en que se hallaba, los terremotos, etc. Luego el fallido intento de las autoridades para borrarla del muro y evitar que le siguieran rindiendo culto.

Después la curación del primer Mayordomo Español y muchísimos más a través del tiempo atribuidas al Señor de los Milagros. La procesión es la más multitudinaria que se realiza en el mundo. El Santo Cristo también congrega a los peruanos en Los Ángeles, Nueva , Miami, así como también en Yamato – Japón y otros lugares.
