WHAT IS HANDED ON BY MY ANCESTORS?Beloved: If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps. He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth. When he was insulted, he returned no insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten; instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you had gone astray like sheep, but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls. Source: 1 Pt 2:20b-25

POPE FRANCIS’ MAY PRAYER INTENTIONSFor Deacons – We pray that deacons, faithful in their service to the Word and the poor, may be an invigorating symbol for the entire Church.

FROM ONE FRIEND TO ANOTHERFrom Andy Rooney, a man who had the gift of saying so much with so few words: “I’ve learned.... that just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my day!’ makes my day.”

EASTER BLESSINGS FROM:

Pope Francis on how he is “living spiritually” through the pandemic: “I’m praying more, because I feel I should. And I think of people. That’s what concerns me: people. Thinking of people anoints me, it does me good, it takes me out of my self-preoccupation.” The Holy Father continues, “My major concern—at least what comes through my prayer—is how to accompany and be closer to the people of God. Hence the livestreaming of the 7 a.m. Mass [I celebrate each morning] … and the March 27 event in St. Peter’s Square. Hence, too, the step-up in activities of the office of papal charities, attending to the sick and hungry. “I’m living this as a time of great uncertainty. It’s a time for inventing, for creativity.” - ‘A Time of Great Uncertainty’: An Interview with Pope Francis, Commonweal, April 8, 2020

We at Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio believe that the Holy Father is inspired by the Holy Spirit to guide and teach the Church, to be an example, but also to share in our suffering, doubts and aspirations, in this life and the next. We offer this prayer in communion with the pope’s inspiration.

“God of Life, you designed your creation to be beautiful, according to the wisdom of your plan.

We raise our cries to you for mercy and forgiveness for the ways in which we have failed to be good stewards of creation and faithful companions to one another. We pray for help and healing at this time of crisis and global pandemic, for those who have contracted the Novel Coronavirus and those who are suffering and dying from COVID-19. We pray for the families and loved ones who are separated from each other that those who are grieving loss will find solace in the compassion and prayers of brothers and sisters. We pray for medical professionals, first responders, grocery store workers, social workers, and all those in essential roles, who aid society, ensuring the basic needs of all.

Help us to find new and creative ways to build unity, community and solidarity in this time of physical distancing. Inspire a spirit of kindness, generosity, prudence and compassion for those who are made vulnerable by this crisis. May we find ways to share our resources with those who are going without. May we support those on the front lines of the pandemic, to ensure that their needs and their families are cared for during their service. May our acts of prayer, kindness and mercy spread a “contagion of hope” to bring healing and a new day, a new revitalization of communion among people of all backgrounds to recover as a stronger society, one that reveres life and maintains perspective of justice, charity, mutual aid, and understanding, to view one another as our brother and sister, even in the midst of our differences.

Most Holy Trinity, as we endure this crisis throughout the Lenten and Easter Seasons, may we be mindful and reflective of the Paschal Mystery of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in whose ministry of prophet, priest and king, we share by our Baptism, to answer the call to holiness and sacrifice, to die to self, and to rise to new life. May the reminders of Spring’s blossoming and warming fill us with reminders of resurrection and rebirth, of hope and healing, of faith and mercy. Strengthen our faith in You, Father God, to know that you have called us in this life to be a people of justice to the poor, the lonely, the forgotten, the sick, the suffering. Fill us with motivation to act justly, love kindly and to walk humbly with you, as you walk with us and join in our suffering and grief, and our dreams and our joy that we may be One with You and with one another.

We ask all of this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. AMEN.”

WORLD YOUTH DAY UPDATEThe Vatican announced April 20th that World Youth Day in Portugal will be postponed until August of 2023. We will hold a planning meeting in the fall to start working on fundraising

We are also asking everyone to pray daily our special prayer to Christ in the womb.

“Dear Jesus of the Womb, most fragile child of Mary’s protection, we look to you as the youngest image of perfect innocence. We lift our prayers to you who will save each of our souls. Just as you entered humanity through this most gentle and helpless state, now help us to find your presence in the face of all the gentle and helpless persons of the earth. Bless us with eyes that see you and ears that hear you: in the presence of the poor and the outcast, the hungry and the homeless, the condemned and the war-torn, the elderly and the unborn. May we discover you every day as at Christmas and offer our gifts every day as at Epiphany. This we ask of You and the Father, with your Holy Spirit and in union with Mary your tender home. Amen.”

TEN FUN FACTS ABOUT CATHOLISM!1 – We have tons of friends. Not only are there more than 1.18 billion

Catholics, but we also have the Angels and Saints.2 – The Church’s system of law, called Canon Law, is the basis of much

of the law in the world’s Western culture.3 – Catholics not only read The Bible but put The Bible together. 4 – Pope

John Paul II snuck out of the Vatican more than 100 times to go skiing in the Italian Alps without anyone noticing.

5 – If your last name is “Zolp” then you get a full scholarship to Loyola Chicago, that is, if you can verify that is really your name with your birth certificate and baptismal certificate. Only 4 people have received the scholarship so far.

6 – The Vatican is the smallest country in the world and has a total land area of 0.44 square kilometers.

7 – The Vatican’s largest export is postage stamps.8 – Excommunication does not mean someone is “kicked out of the

Church” or “sent to hell”.9 – The Catholic Church is not anti-science. In fact, many of the major

scientific discoveries have been made by Catholics (some who were priests). The Vatican even has an observatory.

10 – The Catholic Church is the mother of the modern university. Source: aggiecatholicblog.org/2011/10/10-fun-catholic-facts/

WHY ARE THERE 2 CREEDS?The importance though of the question concerns the origins of these Creeds. The word “creed” derives from the Latin credo, meaning, "I believe." The purpose of any form of the Creed is to provide a basic, succinct statement of the faith. Moreover, the Creeds are structured on the fundamental belief in the Trinity and the "work" proper to each of the three Persons: The Father and creation; the Son and redemption; and the Holy Spirit and sanctification.The Apostles Creed is attributed to the teaching of the Apostles. The substance of the Creed is found in the profession of faith made by a person at Baptism in the early age of the Church. Here the person to be baptized responded to three questions, again divided according to the Persons of the Trinity.On the other hand, the Nicene Creed was produced by the Council of Nicea I (325) which was convoked to combat the heresy of Arius, who basically denied the divinity of Christ. Here the Council wanted to teach very clearly that Jesus Christ is "consubstantial" or "one in Being" with the Father, sharing the same divine nature; that He is begotten, not made or created; and that Mary conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and through her, Jesus Christ, true God, became also true man.Later, at the Council of Constantinople (381), the Church again not only affirmed its condemnation of Arianism but also condemned the Pneumatomachs (i.e. “the killers of the Spirit"). Therefore, the Creed was expanded to clearly define the divinity of the Holy Spirit. This Creed, officially entitled the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Symbol, was introduced into the Mass about the year 500.While the answer to this question demonstrates how the faith was expressed first in the Apostles Creed and then even more clearly in the Nicene Creed, the real importance is that the faith was preserved, guarded, and handed on to the next generation. Moreover, during the time of persecution (prior to 313), the Creed was not generally written — it was part of the disciplina arcana, meaning it was memorized and handed on orally as a protection against paganism. In a sense, in this age of persecution, we too should know our Creed by heart, know the faith we profess in it, and hand that faith on to the next generation.Source: catholiceducation.org/en/culture/catholic-contributions/why-do-catholics-have-two-creeds.html

HOW DO WE CHANGE OUR CULTURE OF DEATH?Pope John Paul II noted that man’s sin is manifested on a universal scale in our “Culture of Death.” He pointed out that the powerful are easily able to manhandle the weak (e.g. abortion and euthanasia). The culture of death is a result of sin committed freely by persons. Thus, it is more a personal problem, than a political one. So, the battle will not be won solely by a political action or movement, because the battle is not against human beings or arid philosophies, but is a battle against sin: “For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens” (Eph. 6:12).Therefore, first and foremost, we must recognize God’s saving action and saving mission, and then participate in it. This has always been and will always be the Church’s role. We love because He loved us first (1 Jn. 4:19), and we spread that love through our testimony to the nations (Acts 1:8). We must try to influence our culture with our words and deeds, realizing that the purpose of evangelization is always to introduce man to the Person of Christ, and the Person of Christ to man, that man might enter into His mystical body, the Church.Thus, through grace attained by turning to Him, the culture of death can indeed be transformed, simply because the Gospel always has the power to

SAINTS CELEBRATED THIS WEEK

May 4th– Blessed Michael Giedroyc (1425 – 1485): Born near Vilnius, Lithuania, Michael suffered from physical and permanent handicaps from birth. He was a dwarf who had the use of only one foot. Because of his delicate physical condition, his formal education was frequently interrupted. But over time, Michael showed special skills at metalwork. Working with bronze and silver, he created sacred vessels, including chalices. He traveled to Kraków, Poland, where he joined the Augustinians. He received permission to live the life of a hermit in a cell adjoining the monastery. There Michael spent his days in prayer, fasted and abstained from all meat and lived to an old age. Though he knew the meaning of suffering throughout his years, his rich spiritual life brought him consolation. Michael’s long life ended in 1485 in Kraków.

May 4th – St Hilary of Arles (401 – 449): Born in France in the early 5th century, Hilary came from an aristocratic family. During his education he encountered his relative, Honoratus, who encouraged the young man to join him in the monastic life. Hilary did so. He continued to follow in the footsteps of Honoratus as bishop. Hilary was only 29 when he was chosen bishop of Arles. The new, youthful bishop undertook the role with confidence. He did manual labor to earn money for the poor. He sold sacred vessels to ransom captives. He became a magnificent orator. He traveled everywhere on foot, always wearing simple clothing. That was the bright side. Hilary encountered difficulty in his relationships with other bishops over whom he had some jurisdiction. He unilaterally deposed one bishop. He selected another bishop to replace one who was very ill–but, to complicate matters, did not die! Pope Saint Leo the Great kept Hilary a bishop but stripped him of some of his powers.Complain as little as possible of your wrongs, for as a rule you may be sure that complaining is sin ... because self-love always magnifies our injuries. - St. Hilary of Arles

May 5th– Sts. Marian & James, Martyrs: Saints Marian, an ordained lector, and James, a deacon, were martyred during the persecution of Valerian around the year 259. Few other facts are known about them. It seems that while they were in prison, each had a vision regarding his martyrdom. They drew courage from these apparitions and were able to courageously face death. They were joined in their deaths by other Christians.

May 6th – St. Rose Venerini (1656 – 1728): Rose was born at Viterbo in Italy, the daughter of a doctor. Following the death of her fiancé she entered a convent, but soon returned home to care for her newly widowed mother. Meanwhile, Rose invited the women of the neighborhood to recite the rosary in her home, forming a sort of sodality with them. As she looked to her future under the spiritual guidance of a Jesuit priest, Rose became convinced that she was called to become a teacher in the world rather than a contemplative nun in a convent. Clearly, she made the right choice: She was a born teacher, and the free school for girls she opened in 1685 was well received.Soon the cardinal invited her to oversee the training of teachers and the administration of schools in his diocese of Montefiascone.

As Rose’s reputation grew, she was called upon to organize schools in many parts of Italy, including Rome. Her disposition was right for the task as well, for Rose often met considerable opposition but was never deterred.

May 7th – St. Boniface IV (550 – 615): Pope Boniface was the bishop of Rome from 25 September 608 to his death. Boniface had served as a deacon under Pope Gregory I, and like his mentor, he ran the Lateran Palace as a monastery. As pope, he encouraged monasticism. With imperial permission, he converted the Pantheon into a church. In 610, he conferred with Bishop Mellitus of London regarding the needs of the English Church.
