GOOD EXAMPLE A faithful Christian, illumined by the rays of grace like a crystal, ought to illumine his neighbor with the light of good example, through word and deed. вЂ”St. Anthony 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time There is a wonderful line in the movie Rudy where the President of the University of Notre Dame says вЂњIn my 45 years of priesthood there are only two things I can say with absolute certainty - There is a God and I am not God.вЂќ When St. Paul in todayвЂ™s second reading goes into that marvelous hymn it is almost as if he is in some sort of a deep mystical experience. He writes: вЂњOh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid?вЂќ On this side of eternity there is much that we will have to question: Why did so and so die? Why did such and such happenвЂ¦.and so on. The answer to this and to other questions comes down to four little words: The will of God. Our Lady, when addressed by the Archangel Gabriel, was certainly startled. However, her answer for Christians some 2,000 plus years has been the model of understanding that which we cannot comprehend - вЂњLet it BeвЂ¦вЂќ Spiritual writers such as J.P Caussade have written eloquently on surrendering to Divine ProvidenceвЂ¦..allowing our life to become one continual вЂњLet it Be..вЂќ Mother Teresa used to call it вЂњTotal Surrender.вЂќ In her words-вЂњToday there is no water in the well, there is no food in the pantryвЂ¦.be at peaceвЂ¦let it beвЂ¦.and then you are free.вЂќ It is so hard for us to live this type of life because in many ways we are masters of our own destiny. This is what our culture teaches us. вЂњThe self made man.вЂќ It is worth noting that St. Thomas Aquinas had an experience at the end of his life that left him speechless. He is known as the Angelic Doctor because of the wisdom of his teaching. Near the end of his life He had an encounter with God that profoundly affected him. He put down his pen and declared вЂњEverything I have written is like straw compared to the glory of God.вЂќ He never wrote again. You and I hearing those words may then ask вЂњWhy bother?вЂќ We bother because God is a God of process, and it is in the process of learning about God and reading about Him that our intellect becomes purified. One day we shall see Him as He is. For now, we stumble in the dark. However, in the darkness God gives us His aid. We have the Holy Spirit who prompts our actions and gives us wisdom. We have the aid of the sacraments which nourish and feed us. We have GodвЂ™s Word, Scripture which is like a вЂњlamp unto our feet.вЂќ We have the teaching magesterium of the Church. We have so much to be grateful for, but most of all we should fall to our knees as we marvel at the beauty of creation and sing: вЂњHow Great is our God!вЂќ August 23-24, 2014 Parish Events St. Patrick Library is located in the workroom of the Parish Center.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In recent weeks, we have looked at the evolution of how Roman Catholics initiate children into the life of the Church. How did customs evolve in the Eastern Church? At one time, Christians in both East and West preferred to celebrate baptism in a community setting, with large numbers of adults and children initiated at Easter. The two branches of Christianity began to split on the proper time to do this. In the East, water was blessed in abundance on the feast of the Epiphany, which marked, among other things, the baptism of the Lord. Once infant baptism was fixed on that day, local customs marking a birth began to evolve. One celebration was the giving of a name on the eighth day, another was the вЂњpurificationвЂќ of the mother on the fortieth day after birth. In that blessing, reenacting Mary and JosephвЂ™s journey to the temple, the priest took the baby in his arms and placed the child before the altar. Just as Simeon received the child Jesus, so the priest received the new Christian while chanting SimeonвЂ™s prayer. Later, normally on Epiphany, the priest would baptize, chrismate (confirm), and give a few drops of the Precious Blood to the child in a joyous celebration of the whole community. вЂ”Rev.
