Do you want to know the mind and heart of God?

Jesus thanks the Father in heaven for revealing to his fol-

lowers the wisdom and knowledge of God. What does Je-

sus' prayer tell us about God and about our relationship with him? First, it tells us that God is both Father and Lord of the

earth as well as heaven. He is both the Creator and Author

of all that he has made, the first origin of everything. His

authority, wisdom, and gracious care extends to every liv-

ing thing, and his boundless love and goodness is directed

to the welfare of each person made in his image and like-ness. He is the source of all human life. That is why all fa-

therhood and motherhood are ultimately derived from him

(Ephesians 3:14-15).

Pride - the root of sin—Jesus' prayer contrasts the

"wisdom of the world" with the wisdom which comes from

above - from the Father of heaven who is all wise and good. Jesus' prayer contains an implicit warning that pride can

keep us from the love and knowledge of God. What makes

us ignorant and blind to the wisdom of God? Certainly in-

tellectual pride, coldness of heart, and stubbornness of will

shut out God and his wise rule and fatherly care for our per-

sonal lives. Pride is the root of all vice and evil and the strongest influence propelling us to sin against God and to

do wrong to our neighbor. Sinful pride first vanquishes the

heart, making it cold and indifferent towards God. It also

closes the mind to God's truth and wisdom for our lives.

What is pride's flaw? It is the inordinate love of oneself at

the expense of others and the exaggerated estimation of

one's own knowledge, power, importance and position over others.

Simplicity and lowliness of heart—Jesus contrasts

pride with child-like simplicity and humility. The simple of

heart are like "little children" in the sense that they see

purely and simply without any pretense or falsehood. They instinctively recognize their utter dependence and reliance

on others - especially those who can teach and form them to

live strong, healthy, mature lives. No one can grow in wis-

dom and maturity unless they are willing to be taught and

formed in how to live wisely and to distinguish between

good and evil, truth and falsehood.

Simplicity of heart is closely linked with humility -

I WAS THINKING . . .

A few months ago, I was approached by three Fran-

ciscans from our area who were interested in renting our

convent building. They came three times to look at the con-

vent inside and out and they liked it. Those two Fathers and

one Brother currently live in the rectory of St. Moses the

Black Parish in Detroit, however, because of the arrange-

ment with the parish they had to look for another location to

move to. Last month I had the opportunity to speak with

Brother Louie, who is the Mentor for this small group, and

they were ready to take necessary steps to move forward.

Our Parish Financial Council approved the rent and two

weeks ago the College of Consultors with the Archbishop

allowed the lease of the parish convent to the Franciscans

for one year.

Before they will be able to move in, we have to pre-

pare the building. Nobody has occupied the convent for last

five years. The interior is not in good shape. There is much

fixing and cleaning to be done. If any of you would like to

step in and help with this work I would really appreciate it.

You can call the parish office and we will talk about the

details. Also, anonymous sponsors called and offered to buy

new appliances for the kitchen. In the next weeks we should

have the list of things needed for the Franciscans.

I am praying and thanking the Lord for bringing the

religious order back to our parish.

May the Lord Jesus Christ and His Mom bless

and protect you always!

the queen of virtues that forgets oneself in order to love and

serve others for their sake. The humble of heart are the fre-

est of all - emptied of vanity and self-concern they can sin-

gle-mindedly focus on the welfare of others. The Lord Jesus is our model. He proclaimed to his disciples, "I am gentle

and lowly of heart" (Matthew 11:29). Jesus came "not to be

served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for the

many" (Matthew 20:28). Jesus' "gentleness" is not weak-

ness or powerlessness. It is "strength under control" which

is at the service of good rather than evil.

Jesus humbled himself to lift us out of our misery

and slavery to sin in order to raise us up to glory with him

and the Father. Jesus came not to bruise the weak but to

heal, to pardon and not to condemn, to restore us to abun-

dant life by defeating sin, Satan, and death. It was love for

his eternal Father and for each one of us that motivated Je-

sus to humble himself to death on the cross in order to res-cue us from slavery to sin and death. The Lord Jesus shows

us the true path of love and victory, freedom and joy,

through the cross that defeated pride and hatred, greed and

selfishness, guilt and condemnation.

True humility - which is the opposite of false mod-

esty or feeling bad about oneself - frees us to pursue what is

good, right, holy, and true. Scripture tells us that God op-poses the proud, but gives grace to the humble (Proverbs

3:34, James 4:6). Only the humble in heart can receive the

wisdom which comes from God and the understanding of

God's perfect goodness and plan for our lives. Do you

acknowledge your utter dependence on God and do you

trust him with your whole heart, mind, and being?

The greatest reward for those who seek the

"summum bonum" or "greatest good" is to be united with

God - the one and only true source of peace, joy, and happi-

ness that will last forever.

Knowing God personally—Jesus makes a claim

which no one would have dared to make - he is the perfect

revelation of God because he has been with the Father be-

fore all creation and time existed. He and the Father are united in an inseparable bond of love and unity. That is why

Jesus alone can truly reveal the fullness of God's mind and

heart and purpose for our lives.

One of the greatest truths of God's revelation and

our Christian faith is that we can know the one true and liv-

ing God. Our knowledge of God is not simply limited to

knowing some things about God and his true nature - we can know God our Father and Creator personally because

God our Father desires to be closely united with each one of

us in a bond of love through his Son, Jesus Christ. The Lord

Jesus makes it possible for each one of us to have a person-

al direct relationship and experiential knowledge of God as

our loving and gracious Father.

Through Jesus we have access to God the Fa-

ther—To see the Lord Jesus is to recognize and know the

true nature of God and his personal love for us. In Jesus we see the perfect love of God - a God who cares intensely and

who yearns over every man and woman whom he has creat-

ed in his image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). God the

Father loved us even while we were lost in ignorance and

blinded by sin and pride. He sent us his Only Begotten Son,

the Lord Jesus Christ, who freely gave up his life for us on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins (John 3:16, 1

John 2:2, 1 John 1:7). Paul the Apostle tells us that Jesus is

the image of God (Colossians 1:15). He is the perfect reve-

lation of God - a God who loves us totally, unconditionally,

and without reservation. What can separate us from the love

of God? Only our own stubborn pride, willfulness, and re-bellious attitude towards God and his will for our lives.

Jesus makes an incredible promise to those who

acknowledge him as their Lord and Savior. If we pray in his

name - the name Jesus means God saves - then the Father in

heaven will hear us as if his only begotten Son was speak-

ing to him directly. That is the unity, blessing, and promise

he wishes for each one of us. And that is why we have the

confidence and boldness to pray as Jesus taught his disci-ples, Our Father who art in heaven... give us this day our

daily bread, and deliver us from temptation. Do you pray to

your Father in heaven with joy and confidence in his perfect

love and care for you?

The sweet yoke of Jesus—What does the yoke of

Jesus refer to in the Gospel (Matthew 11:29)? The Jews

used the image of a yoke to express submission to God. They spoke of the yoke of the law, the yoke of the com-

mandments, the yoke of the kingdom, the yoke of God. Je-

sus says his yoke is "easy". The Greek word for "easy" can

also mean "well-fitting". Yokes were tailor-made to fit the

oxen well. We are commanded to put on the "sweet yoke of

Jesus" and to live the "heavenly way of life and happiness".

Jesus also says his "burden is light". There's a story of a man who once met a boy carrying a smaller crippled

lad on his back. "That's a heavy load you are carrying

there," exclaimed the man. "He ain't heavy; he's my broth-

er!" responded the boy. No burden is too heavy when it's

given in love and carried in love. Jesus offers us a new

kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy. In his kingdom

sins are not only forgiven but removed, and eternal life is poured out for all its citizens. This is not a political king-

dom, but a spiritual one.

Freedom from sin and guilt—The yoke of Christ's

kingdom, his kingly rule and way of life, liberates us from

the burden of guilt and from the oppression of sinful habits

and hurtful desires. Only Jesus can lift the burden of sin and the weight of hopelessness from us - and give us a weight

of love and glory in exchange. Jesus used the analogy of a

yoke to explain how we can exchange the burden of sin and

despair for a burden of glory and yoke of freedom from sin.

The yoke which Jesus invites us to embrace is his way of

grace and freedom from the power of sin. Do you trust in

God's love and submit to his will and plan for your life?

"Lord Jesus, give me the child-like simplicity and

purity of faith to gaze upon your face with joy and confi-

dence in your all-merciful love. Remove every doubt, fear,

and proud thought which would hinder me from receiving

your word with trust and humble submission."

Restoring the Sacred—Catholic Tradition

SS. Peter & Paul Parish invites you to observe with us

First Saturday Mass

Followed by the Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Saturday, August 1, 2020

9:00 a.m.

Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, Low Mass (Latin Mass)

For further information, please contact

Father Jerry Pilus at 313-846-2222

The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite is the liturgy of the Catholic Church in use before the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. This includes the Mass, the Sacraments, various rites of blessing and more. On July 7, 2007, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI issued an apostolic letter called Summorum Pontificum. In this letter he declared that older form of the Roman rite was never abrogated, and that it “must be given due honor for its venerable and ancient usage.” (SP Art. 1) His Holiness termed the traditional Latin Mass – the older form – the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. This older form has been in use for many centuries. During this time it was at the heart of the Church and Western cul-ture, nourishing countless generations.

LEKCJA POKORY „Jasiu, nie bądź taki ważny” napisał do siebie w

«Dzienniku duszy» Jan XXIII. Ważniactwo, wysokie mniemanie o sobie czy chorobliwe wręcz przeczulenie na punkcie własnej osoby, to dosyć powszechnie występujące schorzenie osobowości. Człowiekowi potrzebna jest akceptacja z zewnątrz. Potrzebna też jest samoakceptacja. Jednocześnie jednak jest mu potrzebne poznawanie prawdy o sobie samym, aby przypadkiem samoakceptacją nie ogarnął owej schorzałej części osobowości. Ta zaś winna być określona i poddana uzdrawiającej mocy Chrystusa oraz ustawicznej pracy nad sobą. W przeciwnym razie prowadzi człowieka do pychy, do samouwielbienia i samoubóstwienia. W ten sposób często bywa łamane I przykazanie. Grzeszy przeciw niemu ten, kto siebie uważa za ucieleśnienie mądrości, za nieomylną wyrocznię i sędziego. Z siebie czyni jedyny punkt odniesienia. Przestaje liczyć się z innymi i nawet nimi pogardza. Równocześnie zatraca widzenie wszelkich więzów z Bogiem, a nieraz traci wiarę w Boga. Sam jest bogiem dla siebie. Jeden wśród ludzi był Bogiem prawdziwym, a jednak w swoim człowieczeństwie oddawał pełną cześć Ojcu: „Wysławiam Cię Ojcze, Panie nieba i ziemi”. Będąc odwiecznym Synem Ojca, spełnił Jego wolę i stał się człowiekiem dla naszego zbawienia. Nadto stał się poniekąd uczestnikiem niższej kategorii istnień. Składając ofiarę krzyżową zajął miejsce baranka ofiarnego, a więc zwierzęcia. Ofiarę tę uwiecznił w chlebie i winie. Dary te są naturą martwą, ale pochodzącą ze świata roślin. Chrystus ożywił je swoją obecnością w cudzie wieczernikowego Przeistoczenia. Dotykając w ten sposób całej hierarchii istnień, Chrystus wyraził najgłębszą pokorę Boga. Pokora cudu eucharystycznego skupia w sobie również całą pokorę ziemskiej egzystencji Chrystusa. Pokorne było Jego narodzenie, pokorny był cały sposób życia aż po upokarzającą śmierć na krzyżu. Takim pokornym widział już Mesjasza prorok Zachariasz: „Pokorny jedzie na osiołku, źrebięciu oślicy”. Jezus Chrystus, niczego nie ujmując swojej pokorze, dał ją jako przykład do naśladowania: „Uczcie się ode mnie, bo jestem łagodny i pokorny sercem...”. Bóg nie obawia się, że człowiek ubóstwiający siebie przyniesie uszczerbek Jego majestatowi. Bóg troszczy się o człowieka i dlatego nie chce, by ten ośmieszał siebie, przypisując sobie atrybuty Boskie. Bóg nie chce też, aby człowiek zatracając pokorę, zatracał jakże istotny rys podobieństwa do najpokorniejszego Boga. W pokorze Bóg otwiera dla człowieka źródło łaski: „Bóg pysznym się sprzeciwia, a pokornym łaskę daje” (1 P 5,5). Człowiek nie może lepiej zrealizować siebie, jak właśnie w pokorze. Chrystusowa lekcja pokory nie stanowi atrakcji dla współczesnych. Sądzić można, że w dużej mierze pogarda dla pokory jest przyczyną odchodzenia ludzi od Boga, od Kościoła i od siebie nawzajem. Życie religijne w swojej istocie jest przecież życiem pokornych. Tylko oni są w stanie zgiąć kolana przed Bogiem, przyjąć Jego wolę i Jego prawa. Tylko człowiek o dziecięcej pokorze może szczerze powiedzieć Bogu „Ojcze”. Rachunek sumienia wymaga głębokiej pokory i może na skutek jej braku tak wielu przychodzi do spowiedzi bez jego odprawienia. Bez pokory nie może być mowy o prawdziwym nawróceniu i o przyjęciu zaproszenia do przeżywania Eucharystii. Jakże

aktualny pozostaje średniowieczny tekst hymnu eucharystycznego: „Zbliżam się w pokorze i niskości swej, wielbię Twój majestat, skryty w Hostii tej...” O ile Eucharystia skupia w sobie całą najgłębszą pokorę Boga, o tyle staje się głośnym wołaniem o pokorę uczestniczącego w niej człowieka. Pokorny musi być jego duch. Pokorne, choć godne i piękne, musi być sprawowanie Liturgii, aby potem pokorny styl życia codziennego był czytelnym świadectwem o naszej przynależności do Najpokorniejszego. Lekcję pokory musimy przyjmować ciągle na nowo. I zrozumiejmy też wreszcie, że deprawujemy dzieci pierwszokomunijne, gdy przez wyszukane stroje, wystawne uczty i drogie prezenty pozbawiamy je możliwości pokornego obcowania z eucharystycznym Chrystusem. Oby kiedyś same mogły odkryć Tego, którego im tak okrutnie zasłaniamy. ks. Jan Waliczek

Musical Participation Considerations

Archdiocese of Detroit Academy of Sacred Music

While “full and active participation by all the peo-ple is the aim to be considered before all else” (Sacrosanctum Concilium #14) in preparing liturgical celebrations, exterior participation in sacred music has the potential to spread the coronavirus particularly vigorously. However, new research suggests that soft singing in masks transmits aerosols at a rate similarly to speaking in masks. Balancing the potential risks of singing with the spiritual hunger of the people of God to sing at Mass, the Academy advises that the congregation might join the sung dialogues with the clergy and in singing the ordinary of the Mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus Dei). This singing should be through a mask and should be soft to prevent excessive aer-osol transmission.

Please remember the following:

Face masks are required in church for your own safety and the safety of those around you.

Maintain a proper social distance when entering, exiting, and coming forward for Holy Communion.

We resume singing more parts of the Holy Mass be-ginning this weekend. In accordance with the above recommendations from the Archdiocese of Detroit, please sing softly.

Prayer for an end to the coronavirus crisis

Loving God, we come before you in our time of need. We lay

before you our concerns and fears over the spread of the coro-

navirus. We know that you are mightier than all our fears and

that the name of Jesus is the name above all other names. We

ask, in the name of Jesus, that you stop the spread of the coro-

navirus. In your mercy, heal those who are sick and lead those

who have died into your heavenly kingdom. We ask this in the

mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer of Pope Benedict XVI

To the Queen of Peace, the Mother of Jesus Christ "our

peace" (Eph 2:14), I entrust my urgent prayer for all humanity

to which we look with hearts full of hope, notwithstanding the

dangers and difficulties that surround us. May Mary show us,

in her Son, the Way of peace, and enlighten our vision, so that

we can recognize Christ's face in the face of every human per-

son, the heart of peace!
