Spirit and Truth What Does Being Civilized Mean?
My dear parishioners, while an undergraduate at North Texas University I took a course offered by Bill Crane, a visiting professor from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. The year was 1970, and Professor Crane’s called his course “Urban Politics”. At 21 years of age and raised as a protestant, I never speculated why
a university should be named “Saint Mary”. Only after my conversion to Catholi-cism and intensive studies at the Toronto School of Theology (University of To-ronto) did I perceive my professor’s enormous grasp of philosophy and theology for which Catholic scholars are renown the world over.
Early on Dr. Crane asked, What happens? On a sheet of paper write down 3 short answers. You’re in a large American city, downtown, and alone at mid-night. What happens? Not one student in my sizable college class had anything positive to write. All our answers predicted danger and disaster. Professor Crane, laughing at this expected outcome, began the long process of moving his naive political science students from ignorance to knowledge. He explained that the Biblical Babylon is the classic archetype of suspicion, the perception that enormous cities are inherently threatening to the individual person. To the con-trary, he argued, large urban areas drive the advancement of civilization -- poli-tics, economics, education and the creative arts. For a small town boy who knew nothing of big cities, Bill Crane’s course was electrifying. Moreover, I’ve es-teemed big cities ever since.
Throughout the course, Professor Crane made reference to civiliza-tions making a great impact on the course of human history. Then one day he asked, What does it mean to be a civilized man? On a sheet of paper write down 3 short answers. After laughing at our bird-brained guesses, he turned serious as he began to teach us the most important lesson of his course. What does it mean to be a civilized person? A civilized person is aware, sensitive to others and committed to action. So straightforward. So intelligible. …(cont. on page 7)

Soul of Christ, sanctify me Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me Water from Christ's side, wash me Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints and with Thy angels forever and ever. Amen 5
The Jerome’s Hope ministry will offer a healing re-treat for parents who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth or early infant loss. This single-day retreat will take place on Saturday, June 30 at Holy Name Re-treat Center, 430 Bunker Hill, Houston. Those seeking more information or wishing to register should con-tact the Office of Pro-Life Activities at 713-741-8728 or [email protected].
HOPE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED It is, indeed, difficult to maintain hope when we are besieged by so many negative images, words, and the turmoil of our own losses. Yet, our Catholic faith teaches us that hope is one of the corner-stones of our faith. Being optimistic about the fu-ture is one of the most daunting tasks we can face after the loss of a loved one. What is known about the process of grief is that the stages of grief are real and each stage-denial, anger, depression, bar-gaining, and acceptance. Over the next several weeks, I will discuss each of these stages in more depth. It is possible to get though the process and rejoin your normal activi-ties, although there will be modifications that you will make. There are ways to get through the griev-ing process that will help you find some peace and hope eventually. A great book and resource by Bill Dunn and Kathy Leonard, Through a Season of Grief, lays out some steps to help you. Step 1 is, “acknowledge and un-derstand your own grief”; Step 2 is “identify your needs and let others know your needs”; Step 3 is “know that your grief is unique to you. Don’t let others tell you how you must grieve”; Step 4 is “tell your story to someone giving an honest account of your grief”; Step 5 is “commit to your journey and place yourself in God’s hand” ; Step 6 is “ commit yourself to helping others” (looking outward brings hope)”; Step 7 is “trust in God”. As hard as it is to be hopeful, know that there is a way forward and, though you may be changed by your losses, you can be a better version of you. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own under-standing; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight”. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Our grief support group will begin again in Septem-
ber 2018. We will be meeting on the fourth Thurs-
day of each month, 4:00 pm at St. Philip.

What Does Being Civilized Mean? (cont. from page 1)
...Nevertheless, don’t be fooled by the simplicity of Bill Crane’s definition. The three conditions for being a civi-lized person are demanding. “Aware” means knowing the truth about things as they really are. It means growing in the knowledge of the temporal and spiritual realms. Aware means accurately perceiving one’s envi-ronment, actively learning from others and carefully forming one’s very own conscience. Aware implies re-specting tradition while reading the signs of the times.
“Sensitive to others” means embracing the dignity of all persons, a willingness to see things through an-other’s eyes and being receptive to change in one’s own life. One must be sensitive to individuals and the communities in which they live. Nevertheless, sensitivi-ty does not imply being reflexive or stereotypical. Ra-ther, it calls for discernment of others in ways that val-ue their humanity. Above all being sensitive means be-ing moved by human suffering.
“Committed to action” means a person who is aware and sensitive to others will take decisive action in re-sponse to another’s genuine need. One takes action to lessen the distress of other people and to improve the painful circumstances which threaten their well-being. One takes action on behalf of others precisely because they are human beings! Therefore committed to action is an appeal to the virtue of justice, giving to others what they are due in the eyes of God. One helps others in the hope he himself may be judged compassionately in the time of his own need. By eyes of God is meant the light of God’s revealed truth and our Church’s teach-ings.
This was not all Bill Crane had to say about being a civi-lized person: You have to know. All three conditions must be meaningfully present in a person’s life. There is no gray area here. If any one of the three is absent, that person can no longer be called civilized. Professor Crane has been a powerful influence in my life. As a Catholic priest and teacher, I appreciate his lessons now more than ever. Through this superb educator I first encountered our beloved Roman Catholic Church in a meaningful way.
Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your pastor, Reverend Richard Barker.

GIVE WITHOUT PASSING JUDGMENTS - REGARDLESS OF THE WORTHINESS OF THE RECIPIENT God sees all persons through the eyes of goodness. • In choosing to dine with Zaccheus, the Lord
did not judge him by his outward appear-ance; rather He saw a heart that sought true repentance.
• Give with great love as though giving to the Lord Himself.
• All of us are indebted to God for His mercy, generosity, and care.
• Consider all as your family - give joyfully! “May the little child Jesus bless you and accompa-ny you on your journey” - Fr. Santan Pinto SOLT (+2011+)

When you receive Communion during the Holy Sacri-fice of the Mass, it is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divini-ty of Christ that you are receiving. Holy Communion, in the Catholic Church, is reserved for those who have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion, have been catechized (taught) in our Catholic faith and have made a profession of faith. One should ab-stain from Holy Communion if they are in mortal sin and have not received the sacrament of reconcili-ation. If you are not Roman Catholic or are in need of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we ask that you re-frain from receiving Holy Communion in the Mass. However, you may go up to one of the ministers for a blessing when Holy Communion is being offered. By crossing your hands over your heart, the Priest or Eu-charistic minister will know to give you the blessing.
Also, if you choose to receive only the Blessed Sacrament and not from the Chalice, it is fitting nevertheless to pause for a mo-ment to honor Christ’s pres-ence in the Precious Blood—with an appropriate sign of de-votion. We would not think to pass a friend on the street with-out some acknowledgement. Our Lord Jesus Christ deserves no less, and most assuredly, a great deal more.
Receiving Holy Communion
