One of the strategies we employ to meet this goal is to host our annual Vacation Bible School (VBS). The Cathedral VBS took place this past week and by my estimation is was a great success.

Over 50 children participated in prayer, games, snacks, crafts and lessons on our Catholic Faith. The kids were divided into individual groups with names such as “St. Michael’s Defenders” and “St. John’s Creative Kids”. I had the opportunity to talk with the children on Monday and lead them in prayer. I overheard one of the little boys walk in the lower level auditorium and say in a loud and joyful voice: I love this place! That kind of response brings happiness to my heart.

It takes many volunteers to plan, coordinate, and execute a week-long Vacation Bible School. While I am especially grateful to Delia Breedlove for her leadership role, she couldn’t do this alone. It is important to therefore acknowledge all those who volunteered their time and talent: Gay Akers Mary Hoerner Julia Moore Jessica Spracken Delia Breedlove Aiden Kittilstved Shane O’Doherty Hayden Wineclaw Madison Breedlove Claire Kittilstved Susanne O’Doherty Maddie Wineclaw Nathaniel Breedlove Kathleen Kittilstved Tommy O’Doherty John Wineclaw Janelle Hizzey Cheri Mallahan Madison Quantock Maria Vigil Christina Hoerner Kathleen McGann Jennifer Quantock Joseph Hoerner Miranda McCray Carol Steen

Asking for the prayers of Our Lady of Lourdes, I remain,

Sincerely your in Christ,

Miriam was a Levite woman. She was the sister of Moses and Aaron. Miriam watched over Moses when he was in the basket in the river and convinced Pharaoh’s daughter to let their mother nurse him. Later she led the Israelite women in a song of praise with her tambourine after Pharoah’s chariots fell into the sea. Miriam was known as a prophetess. She died at Kadesh before the Israelites got to the Promised Land and was buried there too. She is mentioned in the Bible in Exodus 2:3-10, Exodus 15:20, and Numbers 20:1. The Girl Scout Law that best represents Miriam is “Be Courageous and Strong” because she was a strong leader.

8 A Note From Father Seidel…

Transubstantiation—I can’t imagine how much ink has been spilled and trees felled in the explanation of this technical term which describes our belief in the Eucharist. While this brief article is certainly no place to write a dissertation on the topic, I thought it important to discuss a little as we continue our discussion on the Mass and make our way through the Bread of Life Discourse. Many of our Protestant brethren believe Christ comes to be present within the bread and wine. They call this doctrine consubstantiation. In contrast, Catholics believe that the very substance of the bread and wine actually transforms into the substance of the body, blood, soul, and divinity of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We call this actual transformation transubstantiation.

In many ways ours is the stranger teaching. We can kind of wrap our minds around the idea that Jesus comes to be present in the bread of our communion, but it can seem bizarre that the bread and wine, without changing appearance even on a molecular level, actually changes substantially into the . It is further confusing because we don’t say that Jesus becomes physically present (lest we become cannibals). We are not eating a piece of Jesus when we receive the Eucharist; rather, the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Son, is fully and entirely present in every host, every piece of the host, every drop from the chalice.

But, why? The “why” question bothered me for a long time, particularly when I learned more about how robust the idea of consubstantiation seems to many Protestants. Both we Catholics and these Protestants deeply believe that we are receiving Christ, so what is the real difference? The difference becomes abundantly clear in the idea of deification, the idea that in our baptism and our life of Christ, our very nature is transformed to be like that of God’s. We enter heaven, not merely in our human nature, but in our nature raised to the supernatural, to be like that of God himself. So in receiving the bread transformed into the body of Christ, we ourselves are transformed further into the body of Christ. In this, we are reminded of the words of St. Augustine, “Behold what you are, become what you receive.”

Peace and God bless,

Fr. Seidel

St. Peregrine is the patron saint of people with cancer. St. Peregrine was a convert to the Catholic Faith and ended up joining the Servite Order in Siena, Italy where he ministered to the poor and sick. He underwent a severe trial when he developed a cancerous sore on his leg and foot. Doctors decided upon amputation as treatment. The night before the operation, Peregrine spent the night in prayer before a in a hospital chapel. He dreamt at one point that Christ came down from the cross and healed his leg. When he woke up, he and his doctors made the joyful discovery that he was completely cured. God had truly performed a miracle on this holy man!

The Church attributed to him more than 300 cures of cancer and other illnesses from 1694 to 1726 in one city alone. The following is a prayer to St. Peregrine:

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh the cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of humans could do no more. You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick for whom you are praying) Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

We’re doing a “blitz” collection of School Supplies in August for Title 1 schools, which serve students who can’t afford the whole package of required items. Elementary students at Audubon, Grant, Holmes and Roosevelt schools will need Ticonderoga (#2) pencils, glue sticks, post it notes, composition books, colored pencils, colored markers and notebook paper, as teachers at these schools often use their own funds to replenish supplies for their classes. Trinity Catholic School has a continuing need for index cards, wide-rule and college-rule notebook paper, plain white copy paper, and white board markers. Crosswalk Teen Shelter students need zip drives, backpacks, 3-ring binders and college-rule paper, dividers and pencil pouches to go in them, plus spiral notebooks and composition books. There will be collection boxes at each church entrance for the next two weeks for your contributions of any of these supplies. Please have your donations in by next Sunday, August 23rd, so the committee can get them delivered in time for the first day of school. Thank you! PRAYER FLOWS INTO ACTION
