ETERNALLIFE
Writing to a cardinal of her day, Saint Catherine of Siena said that such a “bellow,” that is to say, so loud a roar, should be uttered over the body of Holy Church as would awaken the sons lying dead within her. (The saint shared the popular notion of her times that lion-cubs were born dead and the father-lion brought them to life with his powerful roar.) I do not know what the word was that Saint Catherine in her day thought ought to be shouted over the body of Holy Church. But I do know the word that ought to be shouted today to wake up those of her children who have fallen asleep. The word is “Eternity!” This is the shout of Christian awakening; the word that, like the ploughshare, can open the furrow for a new sowing of the Word…
The dogma of Christ “true God and true man” can help us in this task by restoring our courage and the freedom of faith that we need for setting about shouting “Eternity, eternity!” to the people of today. For only faith in the divinity of Christ can make the word “eternity” a concrete possibility offered to human beings, the very task of life, and not as it would otherwise be, a mere category of thought or a vague “yearning for the Totally Other…”
If Christ was born for me, if he became the new human being for my sake, if he sanctified himself for my sake (cf. Jn 17:19), if he died for my sins, it follows that these events involve me directly, that they have a meaning that I ought to accept and imitate in my own life.

PRAYERKNEELERSFORSEMINARIANSTo be rescheduled in May Queen of Heaven, pray for our priests… Our Charlotte Diocese has two seminarians, Deacons Jacob Mlakar and Jonathan Torres who will be ordained priests on June 22 this year. St. John the Baptist is privileged and excited to have their prayer kneelers here at a date to be determined, hopefully soon. Thank you for your patience.
The Year of St. Joseph Prayer
To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we
confidently invoke your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the
inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities.
O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward
off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven
assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy
and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness,
and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen. — Pope Leo XIII, 1839
INTHESTJOHNCATHOLICSHOPPE:Saint Joseph Prayer Book $10—English and a few Spanish available. Included in this book are passport style pages. As the faithful make these personal pilgrimages to St. Joseph parishes, they can find “passport stamps” at each of the churches to stamp their booklets throughout the year. The goal is to visit every St. Joseph church/chapel in the diocese during this special year. There are a total of nine parishes.
