PASTOR’S PARISHABLES

Our Image of Faith this month, inspired by Holy Cross

day last Thursday, reminds me of some things I learned

years back while researching family genealogy. That

research took me to many cemeteries, which piqued my

interest in gravestone & cemetery art. (Lakewood Cemetery

in Minneapolis was the biggest cache but I’ll save that for

All Souls Day & November.)

It was those cemetery visits that

introduced me to iron crosses, for example.

According to one authority: “Black-smith-

made iron grave crosses could be

considered some of America’s finest folk

art. They originate primarily in the

Catholic Black Sea German Russians, but

also among Catholic German Hungarians,

Ukrainians, Poles & Bohemians, all of whom came to the

steppes of the New World from the steppes of the Old, the

Ukraine, Russia. These people settled throughout the Great

Plains as well as the pampas of Argentina. The iron grave

cross custom was brought with them from the old country

& in the Midwest was practiced mainly between the 1880s

& the 1940s.” I found that interesting.

One thing leads to another: About crosses in cemeteries I

learned something else that is far more important to me. It’s

about the cross in art but more so about ecumenism—the

promotion of unity among Christian Churches. In a book

called Soul in Stone I read the following: “The cross, sur-

prisingly, was rarely used as a headstone by mainstream

Protestants until well into the 20th century. In the

Heartland, a 19th-century cross almost always indicates a

Catholic burial. Protestants were suspicious of, even

hostile to, the use of the cross, because they associated it

with the corruption & power of the Roman Catholic

Church & the passions of the Reformation burned

brightly well into [the 20th] century. In general, the cross

refers to the crucifixion of Jesus & represents the

salvation of the Christian faith.” We’re making progress.

This Thursday, September 21, is the feast of St. Mat-

thew. Since he’s our evangelist of the year he deserves a

little added attention. Many, many churches include the 4

evangelists in their glass, wood or stonework. In SS Peter

& Paul, they appear in our sanctuary windows; in St.

Mary’s, Matthew & John are in windows in the nave,

right side. (Why not include Mark & Luke? I don’t

know.) It’s not uncommon, & not surprising, to find them

carved in relief in the pulpit of some churches. 3 of the 4

usually look pretty much alike; John is usually unique—

in SSPP windows, he’s the only 1 without a beard, to

illustrate his youthfulness compared to the others.

There’s a venerable image of Matthew that was

seriously considered for September’s Image of Faith, but

it didn’t make the cut: Rembrandt’s

“St. Matthew & the

Angel.” The angel whispering in his

ear is my favorite part of it. That angel

repre-sents Scripture’s glorious claim

as the Word of God. God (represented

by the angel) did not dictate but

inspired the words written by the

human authors of the Bible: “Those

divinely revealed realities which are contained &

presented in Sacred Scripture have been committed to

writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit” (Vatican

II, Divine Revelation, #11). The classic text in Scripture

itself about its inspiration is 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All

Scripture is inspired by God & is useful for teaching, for

refutation, for correction, and for training in

righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be

competent, equipped for every good work.”

About Matthew, author Frederick Buechner comments,

“As very likely a Jew himself, Matthew knew his Torah,

& according to him, Jesus was what the Torah was all

about whether anybody knew it or not. Much of his life

was foretold there, Matthew keeps saying, & he loved to

give examples: ‘Behold a virgin shall conceive & bear a

son, & his name shall be called Emmanuel,’ the prophet

Isaiah had said, & Matthew applied his idea that Mary

was a virgin to that (1.23). Jesus was born at Bethlehem,

& that's just where the prophet Micah had said he'd be

born (2.6). Hosea was the one who predicted the flight

into Egypt when Jesus was still on his mother's knee (2.15).

And it was Zechariah who said he'd come riding into

Jerusalem on a donkey like a king great in his humble-

ness & humble in his greatness (21.5). But mainly, Mat-

thew wanted to make the point that this man from such

humble beginnings, who died such an ignominious death,

was the same Messiah, the same Christ, the same Anoint-

ed of the Lord, that for centuries Israel had been waiting

for. Everything Matthew wrote was aimed at convincing

people that this was so & that to accept it was to find

eternal life & that to deny it was to be like the Pharisees

to whom Jesus said, ‘Woe to you...sons of those who mur-

dered the prophets...you serpents, you brood of vipers,

how are you to escape being sentenced to Hell?’ (23.29-33).”

There is interest in the Catholic Church out there on

the part of some who are not Catholic, or who once were

& would like to return. RCIA—Rite of Christian

Initiation of Adults—is the acronym we use for the

process of catechesis, formation & reception of non-

Catholics into the Catholic Church. There are 4 who’ve

contacted me in recent months about this & now we’re

about ready to bring them together & schedule some

sessions. Call us if you’re interested.

Catechetical Sunday The Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday this

weekend, September 16 & 17, 2017. The 2017 theme is

"Living as Missionary Disciples." Those who the

Community has designated to serve as catechists will be

called forth to be commissioned for their ministry.

Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to

reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of

Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to

the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all

to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community

of faith.

Catechists are needed for 2017/2018! Our parish Faith Formation program is in need of two

catechists for the coming year. There is currently an

opening in Kindergarten (classes are from 2:30-4PM)

and Grade 7 (classes are from 6:30-7:30PM). Please

consider sharing your faith and your time with our parish

children and youth. Lesson plans are provided for

catechists of all grades as well as supplemental materials

like videos, books, hands on activities, and information

on Saints and liturgical seasons. Classes begin on

October 4th and end on April 25th.

AmazinGrace! Who: All youth in Grades 6-12

When: Sunday, September 24th

Where: Throughout Blue Earth

What: The area churches are planning an amazing

event for youth! You will form teams and will walk

around Blue Earth completing fun challenges and tasks

before being given an envelope with clues to your next

destination. Everyone will end up at the Fairgrounds for

music, supper and a short devotional. This event is

FREE and we are expecting at least 100 young people to

attend!

Register: If you would like to get signed up, let me

know so I can get your name on the list! The deadline to

sign up is Sunday, September 17th.

Keys Needed! Do you have any keys laying around that don't unlock or

lock anything at your house? If so, please consider

donating them to Youth Ministry! I need lots of them

for the AmazinGrace event being held next Sunday.

Keys can be dropped off at the parish offices. Thank

you!!
