APRIL 15, 2018 | THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER 3
Easter is the Season of Sacraments! This past week, our 8th Graders cele-brated the Sacrament of Confirmation with Archbishop Carlson. We pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to strengthen them with wisdom, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, understanding, and holy fear all the days of their life. On May 5, we will welcome our 2nd Graders to the Table of the Lord as they receive the Eucharist for the first time, strengthening their relationship with Jesus and with the Church. Also on May 5, our parishioner Stephen Schumacher will be ordained a transitional Deacon at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica. Deacon Stephen will assist and preach at the 9:00am Mass here at MQP on Sunday, May 6 with a reception following in the School Cafeteria. On May 26, new priests will be ordained for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. And of course, many couples are celebrating Holy Matrimony during these spring days. Sacraments are always special occasions in the life of Catholics, and it is our duty to live in this Sacramental grace all our life long! This week, pray that the grace of your Baptism will be renewed in our life! This week, Pope Francis promulgated an Apostolic Exhortation titled “Gaudete et Exsultate” or “Rejoice and be Glad: On the Call to Holiness in Today’s World”. Having read many of Francis’ previous writings, I know that this one too will be accessible and relatable and give us much to ponder and pray about. I have just begin to read “Gaudete et Exsultate” and I would like to recommend it to you for your own prayer and contemplation. Soon it will be available in print at places like Pauline Books & Media and Catholic Supply, but you can read “Gaudete et Exsultate” right now online. Just Google the name and you will find it easily on the Vatican website. The Holy Father writes to encourage everyone – that means you! – to pursue and work toward holiness. A few quotes: 7. I like to contemplate the holiness present in the patience of God’s people: in those parents who raise their children with immense love, in those men and women who work hard to support their families, in the sick, in elderly religious who never lose their smile. In their daily perseverance I see the holiness of the Church militant. Very often it is a holiness found in our next-door neighbors, those who, living in our midst, reflect God’s presence. 11. “Each in his or her own way” the Council says. We should not grow dis-couraged before examples of holiness that appear unattainable. There are some testimonies that may prove helpful and inspiring, but that we are not meant to copy, for that could even lead us astray from the one specific path that the Lord has in mind for us. The important thing is that each believer discern his or her own path, that they bring out the very best of themselves, the most personal gifts that God has placed in their hearts (cf. 1 Cor 12:7), rather than hopelessly trying to imitate something not meant for them. We are all called to be witnesses, but there are many actual ways of bearing witness. 14. To be holy does not require being a bishop, a priest or a religious. We are frequently tempted to think that holiness is only for those who can withdraw from ordinary affairs to spend much time in prayer. That is not the case. We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves. Pope Francis later speaks of enemies of holiness and how we are to follow in the footsteps of the Master. Notably, he shares some sure signs of holiness in today’s world. These include: perseverance, patience, and meekness; joy and a sense of humor; boldness and passion; community; and constant prayer. As I mentioned, I’m just beginning to look at “Gaudete et Exsulate” but the entire let-ter is filled with so much to contemplate and consider, and so I encourage you to join me in reading the letter and thinking and praying about its message. Pope Francis concludes: 177. It is my hope that these pages will prove helpful by enabling the whole Church to devote herself anew to promoting the desire for holiness. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us a fervent longing to be saints for God’s great-er glory, and let us encourage one another in this effort. In this way, we will share a happiness that the world will not be able to take from us.
