Richard Huneger Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48 Responsorial: “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church!” (MaƩhew 16) Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4 Going on a pilgrimage to Rome is like making a special visit to St. Peter himself, since the Second Reading: pope is the successor of St Peter, to whom the Lord Jesus entrusted the care of His Church. Just a 1 John 4:7-10 few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to accompany a young adult pilgrimage to Rome (organized Gospel: by Regina Magazine) and I hope to share a liƩle bit some of the spiritual fruits of this trip with all of you. The first day aŌer our arrival, we aƩended the Papal Mass in St. Peter’s Square. You can John 15:9-17 watch the full papal mass on YouTube (you can even see me among the priests if you look really closely!). It was a beauƟful mass with a large crowd of people gathered from many naƟons for “Whoever loves me will keep Divine Mercy Sunday. Most of the mass was in Italian, however the first reading was in Spanish my word, says the Lord, and my and the second reading was in English. There were also several parts of the mass that were sung Father will love him and we will in LaƟn: the “Gloria,” the “Credo” the “Holy, Holy, Holy,” the “Lamb of God,” the “Our Father” and come to him.” a few other musical pieces. The use of LaƟn in the Sacred Liturgy provides a special language for the liturgy and unites people from various naƟons and languages. For these reasons, the Second VaƟcan Council called for the conƟnued use of LaƟn and Gregorian chant in the Holy Mass. For these same reasons, here at St Joseph’s, we are planning to use the Missa de Angelis at all masses (Spanish, English, and Vietnamese) during the summer months (June, July, and August), thus mod- eling our liturgy on that of the Pope. At the beauƟful Basilica of St. Peters at the VaƟcan, we were able to go on the “scavi” tour to visit the tomb of St. Peter directly beneath the Basilica. Many other saintly Popes are buried there at St. Peter’s Basilica, including St. John Paul II. What a bless- ing it is to belong to the Church founded by Christ Himself who gave the care of his Church to St. Peter and his successors, the popes! Going to Rome, one really gets a sense of how much history May 5 & 6. 2018 and how many naƟons are gathered into the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. ANNUAL CAMPAIGN Another highlight from our trip was visiƟng the Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and of The Catholic Charities Annu- Saints John the BapƟst and the Evangelist in the Lateran (commonly known as the Lateran Basili- al Appeal occurs once-per- ca or St. John Lateran). Shortly aŌer the Edict of Milan in 313, whereby ChrisƟanity ceased to be year across the Archdiocese. “illegal” in the Roman Empire, the Emperor ConstanƟne gave the Lateran Palace to the care of the Funds raised through this bishop of Rome. The Lateran Palace thus became the home for the “head and mother” of all appeal support the work of ChrisƟan Churches. Just as the tomb of Saint Peter is at the Basilica of St. Peter’s, so also the Basil- the five agencies that make ica of St. Paul’s contains the tomb of the Apostle Paul. However, the skulls of St. Peter and St. Paul up the Catholic Charities of are said to be in a reliquary above the main altar at St. John Lateran. St. John Lateran is the Cathe- Oregon. Please support this dral of Rome and therefore the “head” of all churches and so it seems fiƫng that the heads of 2018 Appeal. these two most prominent Apostles are kept there. To donate on-line visit: Just across the street from the Lateran Basilica, we also visited the Holy Stairs (Scala wwwcatholicCharitiesOre- Sancta), where St. Empress Helena (the mother of ConstanƟne I) had transferred to Rome the very gon.org. or 503-688-2656 stairs of the Praetorium of PonƟus Pilate in Jerusalem. Therefore, Our Savior Himself would have walked upon these steps during His sacred Passion. St. Helena went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Sixth Annual Sacred Land in 327-328 and recovered the Holy Stairs and the Cross of Christ, bringing them to Rome.
