DVD Speaker: The Reverend Frank DeSiano, CSP The Paulist Fathers Jamaica Estates, New York The interactive quality of the Eucharist that we celebrate gives clues about what God asks of us. By responding at the Eucharist, and living our response, we orient ourselves to the Kingdom of God by committing ourselves to be disciples. The Offertory of the Mass, one of the key points of response and commitment, is poorly appropriated by Catholics. The dynamic of the Mass, as well, gives important direction for how a parish itself lives its mission of self-offering. Closing Keynote Address – From Attitude to Action Time: 55 min. DVD Speaker: The Reverend John Lanzrath Director, Office of Stewardship Diocese of Wichita, Kansas Jesus Christ invites each of us by name to follow Him. Stewardship is a life-long response of a grateful disciple to follow Christ, to imitate Christ, to be formed in the heart of Christ, to bring others to Christ. This presentation is founded in the words that St. Paul shares with the Philippians, “Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5) 2007 ICSC Conference – September 23 -26, Miami, FL Opening Keynote Address – Stewardship, A Disciple’s Response Time: 45 min.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries.

Lent inspires me to more prayer for the needs of others, and that is definitely a work of mercy. Our most common prayers, the Our Father and Hail Mary, cast the words of petition in the plural: “give us our daily bread,” “forgive us our trespasses,” “lead us not into temptation,” “deliver us from evil,” “pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.” How easy they make it to think of the needs of others … if we pause to think. Fasting may not immediately lend itself in our minds to the concept of mercy, unless we consider the condition of our own hearts. Yet the primary A MERCIFUL LENT motive for fasting is not weight reduction! Fasting has as its primary purpose interior purification. By limiting our ordinary (and legitimate) physical pleasures, we are able to be more attuned to the spiritual gifts that God wishes to give us. That is why we fast before receiving Lent starts early this year, on Feb. 10. Since I have been through many Lents, Holy Communion and before celebrating the great I always welcome the creative insights of others as to how I might observe feast of Easter that recalls our own rebirth to eternal life through baptism.

    AspireAspire Summer 2009 U NIVERSITY OF SAINT MARY A Saint Mary First Inside: 2009 Honor Roll of Donors from the president Dear Alumni and Friends, Excellence. Excellence is one of the University of Saint Mary’s core values. The foundation for embracing excellence is our faith in our Creator God. Our gracious God has given us all that we have. Our abilities, talents, and skills are all gifts. We did nothing to earn them. They are God’s gift to us. As I tell our students, in return, we owe God our best effort. Mediocrity is an insult to the Creator God. Our response demands not only our best efforts, but also that our talents and skills are used with integrity for the greater good of humanity. Saint Mary views excellence as an essential gospel-centered response to all that God has given. Excellence touches not only that which can be measured – grades, graduation rates, retention, job placement, and endowment earnings – but also those that do not easily succumb to data crunching, those that mark our lives and our choices over time: integrity, compassion for others, and a sense of justice for all. We have much to celebrate in the line of measurable accomplishments such as a new residence hall, a new degree program in partnership with the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, as well as the start of our first doctorate program, a doctorate in physical therapy. The RN-BSN program will expand from online delivery to a new “on ground” program in Overland Park starting this fall.
