Liturgical Ministers - February 2 & 3

T he following discussion about Wisdom, one of the

seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, comes from Pope Francis,

nearly five years ago on 4/12/2014.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today we begin a series of reflections on the gifts of the Holy

Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the soul, the lifeblood of the Church

and of every Christian: He is God's Love, who makes our

hearts his home and enters into communion with us. The

Holy Spirit is always with us, always in us, in our hearts.

The Spirit himself is "God's gift" par excellence (cf. Jn 4:10) a

gift from God, and in turn communicates different spiritual

gifts to those who welcome him. The Church identifies seven,

a number that symbolically speaks of fullness, completeness;

we learn these when preparing for the sacrament of

Confirmation and we invoke them in the ancient prayer

called the "Sequence of the Holy Spirit." The gifts of the Holy

Spirit are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude,

knowledge, piety and fear of God.

1. The first gift of the Holy Spirit, according to this traditional

list, is wisdom. It is not merely human wisdom. It is the fruit

of knowledge and experience. In the Bible we are told that, at

the time of his coronation as king of Israel, God asked

Solomon what gift he wanted to receive. Solomon did not ask

for wealth, success, fame, or a long and happy life. Instead

he asked for "an understanding heart that knows how to

distinguish good from evil" (1 Kings 3:9).

This is wisdom: it is the grace of being able to see everything

with the eyes of God. It is simply this: Seeing the world

situations, conjunctures, problems, everything with God's

eyes. This is wisdom. Often we see things as we want to see

them or according to our heart, with love, with hate, with

envy. No this is not with God's eyes. Wisdom is what the Holy

Spirit does within us so that we can see everything with God's

eyes. This is the gift of wisdom.

2. Obviously this gift comes from intimacy with God, for our

intimate relationship with God, from our relationship as

children with a Father. And the Holy Spirit - when we have

this relationship - gives us the gift of wisdom. When we are

in communion with the Lord, it is as if the Spirit transfigures

our heart and helps it to perceive all his warmth and

predilection.

3. The Holy Spirit also makes the Christian "wise". This is,

however, not in the sense that he or she has an answer for

everything, or knows everything, but in the sense that he or

she "knows" of God, how God acts. They know when

something is of God and when it is not.

They know this; they have this wisdom that God gives our

heart. The heart of the wise man has this taste of God. It is so

important that our communities have Christians such as

these! Everything about them speaks of God and becomes a

beautiful and vital sign of His presence and His love.

And it is something we cannot improvise, something we

cannot obtain by our own merits: it is a gift that God gives to

those who are docile to His Holy Spirit. We have the Holy

Spirit in our hearts; we can listen to him or not.

If we listen to him he teaches us this path of wisdom. He

gifts us wisdom which is seeing with God's eyes, listening

with God's ears, loving with God's heart, judging things with

Gods' judgment. These are the things that the Holy Spirit

gifts us and we can all have this. We just have to ask the

Holy Spirit.

Think of a mother at home with her children. One child does

something and another thinks otherwise and the poor

mother is torn between the two children's problems. When

the mother is tired and she shouts at her children, is that

wisdom? I ask you is that wisdom - what do you say? No!

Instead when the mother takes her child to one side and

gently rebukes him, and explains this is God's wisdom! Yes!

St. Francis Parish would like to

welcome all newcomers and visitors.

We turn your attention to the

Ministry Table in the narthex of the

church where you will find information

on the various ministries in our parish and how to contact the coordinator.

New parishioners are encouraged

to register by calling the office at

503-625-6185.

We welcome you as we welcome Christ!

And this is what the Holy Spirit gives us in life.

In a marriage for example, a couple argues, then they won't

look at one another, or if they do it is with anger. Is that

God's wisdom? No! Instead, when they say let the storm

pass, let's make peace! That's wisdom, that's the gift of

wisdom that comes to our homes, to children, to all of us!

And it cannot be learned, it is a gift of the Holy Spirit!

This is why we must ask the Lord to gift us the Holy Spirit

and the gift of wisdom that teaches us to see with God's eyes,

to feel with God's heart to speak with God's words! And with

this wisdom we can move forward, build the family, the

Church and we can all be sanctified. Let us ask for this grace

of wisdom today. Let us ask Our Lady, who is the Seat of

Wisdom, for this gift.

BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH February’s Book-of-the-Month is

Eucharistic Miracles

Joan Carroll Cruz

ISBN# 9780895553034

On many occasions throughout the history of the

Catholic Church, God has provided visible proof of

the invisible reality of the Real Presence of Jesus

Christ in the Holy Eucharist. In her book, Eucharistic

Miracles, Joan Carroll Cruz documents 36 such

miracles which occurred from 800 AD to the present

day. This book tells of consecrated Hosts which have

visibly turned to human flesh, have bled, levitated, and

which have become hard as flint when received by a

person in mortal sin. It details the official investigations

that have been made into these miracles by scientists

throughout the world, and where some can still be

venerated today. Eucharistic Miracles also recounts

miraculous Eucharistic phenomena in the lives of

saints: saints who lived with only the Eucharist for

sustenance, received Communication miraculously, or

experienced raptures, ecstasies, levitations, visions,

locutions, and more. Pictures and photographs of the

miracles, the churches they took place in, and the

people involved are also included, adding the final

touch to a comprehensive, detailed, and extraordinary

overview of these miraculous happenings. Eucharistic

Miracles is a superb compilation of God's visible

testimony of the truth of the Catholic Faith, proving

the reality of one of its loftiest mysteries -- the Real

Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

What is despair? Despair is the sin of

deliberately refusing to believe that God will

always give the necessary help for salvation to all

who ask for it. St. Paul Family Catechism.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair (2 Cor. 4:8).

Next week: What is charity?
