BEEHIVE

A Patron TN HE With ig The good news for anyone praying for a little less online vitriol or a much faster

internet connection 1s that the Vatican 1s on the case. Showing that it has one foot in the 2 Ist

century, the official Catholic Church is backing a 15-year-old computer whiz to become the

first patron saint of the internet.

Carlo Acutis, an Italian schoolboy who helped spread Roman Catholic teaching on-

line before he died of leukemia in 2006, is the perfect candidate to become the protector of web surfers, said Cardinal Angelo Becciu, the head of the Vatican’s saint-making depart-

ment. “That's my hope — he would be an ideal example for all young people,” said Becciu, whose official title is head of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

Carlo became deeply religious during his middle-class childhood in Milan and would donate his pocket money to the city’s poor residents. Crucially, he used his prodigious

coding talent to set up websites for priests. At the age of 10, he began to create an online

exhibit about religious miracles, which has gained huge popularity since his death. Hundreds of parishes around the world have printed off material from the site to create real-life exhibits

of their own.

In 2019, Pope Francis paid tribute to the teenager, declaring that his use of the in-

ternet to “communicate values and beauty” was the perfect antidote to the dangers of social

media. In a document he wrote afier his Synod on Youth, Francis quoted a phrase coined by Carlo warning other youngsters not to lose their individuality on the internet: “Everyone

is born an original, but many die like photocopies.” After citing the phrase, Francis added, “Don’t let this happen.”

As Carlo’s fame has spread, Catholics have started

to pray to him, and in Febru- ary, the Pope attributed a mir-

acle to the teen, triggering his

beatification, the first step to-

ward being made a saint. The

beatification ceremony will be

held October 10th of this year in the Italian city of Assisi (of

St. Francis fame).

The miracle in 2013 involved the rapid and inexpli- cable healing of a 6-year-old

Brazilian boy suffering from a serious congenital deformation

of the pancreas. A parish priest

prayed to Carlo on the child’s behalf. “The boy was vomiting and risked dying. Then, on the

third day of prayers, he started eating,” said Antonia Salzano,

Carlo’s mother, who works in

publishing. His father works in

the insurance business.

“We get news of mir-

acles attributed to Carlo all the

time,” said his mother Antonia.

“One woman was cured of her

cancer after attending his fu-

neral, and I heard of two more

a few days ago.” She added

that she could not fathom how

Carlo’s fame had spread since his death. “It’s a mystery. I

sense the finger of God,” she

said. “Losing your son is the most terrible thing, but we are

happy he is helping people dis- cover their faith.”

Cardinal Becciu told Vatican News that, when Carlo

was close to death, he said: “I want to offer all my suffering

A Patron Saint of the Internet continued from page 1

for the Lord, for the Pope and for the Church. I don’t want to do purgatory; I want to go straight to heaven.” The cardinal

added: “He said that at age 15! A young boy who talks like that strikes us, and I think it encourages everyone not to joke with our faith, but to take it seriously.”

To make it easier to pray at his tomb, the Vatican or-

dered Carlo’s body to be exhumed last year and reburied at the Shrine of Renunciation at the Church of St. Mary Major in Assisi.

Further miracles attributed to prayers to Carlo will be studied by the Vatican. If it certifies a second miracle after Carlo’s beatification this October, the youth can be made a

saint. If that happens, Carlo would be a strong candidate to become patron saint of the internet, Becciu said, but “the Pope

decides.”

Declaring a patron saint for web surfers — actual

surfers already have a protector out on the waves, St. Chris- topher — would be in keeping with the Vatican’s push to pro-

mote an online presence. The pope’s digital outreach efforts include his popular Twitter accounts, which boast over 50 mil- lion followers, including 900,000 of his feed in Latin. Catho- lic priests around the world tumed to Zoom during coronavi-

tus lockdowns to hold services when churches were closed.

Francis has described the internet as a “gift from God” but has also warned that hours spent alone online “can have the effect of isolating us from our neighbors, from those

closest to us.” In 2016, he said nuns should be allowed to surf the internet in their convents but should not let online time become “occasions for wasting time or escaping from the de- mands of fraternal life in community.” If he declares Carlo the

patron saint of the internet, Francis will probably cast the boy

as a figure who can steer users away from loneliness and turn their surfing into a social, life-affirming experience.

In recent years, some reports have contended that the Catholic Church already has a patron saint of all things digi- tal: Isidore, the 6th century bishop of Seville who created a

20-volume encyclopedia in a bid to put all knowledge in one place — a precursor of Google.

News reports have said that Pope John Paul II de- clared talked aboaut St. Isidore as the patron saint of the web.

But Cardinal Becciu said he could find no official record of Isidore being assigned the role by the Vatican. “There is noth-

ing about that in our archives,” he said.

Salzano mother said that her late son was ready to

take on the responsibility of sainthood, though it would be a heavy one. “He will have to see all the ugly things on the in- ternet. It will be a tough job, but a great way to spread faith,” she said. “I hope he can bring out the beautiful side of the net

and fight the dark side.”

JULY 5, 2020 - THE BEEHIVE

Au ch hings

onsidered This bulletin not only serves

to keep our parishioners informed on the most recent happenings of the par- ish — it also functions as an historical record of St. Ambrose. That is why at the end of every year, copies of this weekly are hard-bound. We have issues that go back to 1960. In our archives, we have a few stray copies that go fj ? back to the late 1940s.

The two times we have had our parish history written — for our 75 and 100" anniver- saries — the bulletins have been a prima- ry source of information. I mention this because I am conscious that what we put into these pages will explain who we were and what we were thinking for future Ambrosians.

So in terms of our history, it 1s important to acknowledge certain indi- viduals who have had a hand in shaping us physically, and thus philosophically.

When I arrived here in 1986, St. Ambrose was hamstrung by two lingering physical problems. One was parking. When this parish was founded, our parishioners built cars — they didn’t necessarily own them. People walked to church. [fthey did drive, there was no expectation of parking (nor restrooms for that matter). We were a less demanding people in terms of creature comforts back then.

The second prob- lem was that of socializa- tion space. The old wooden

had for that, and it was on its last legs. St. Ambrose never had a gymnasium or even a church basement for gathering. We were land-locked and the parish spent an inordinate amount of its resources on Catholic education and football.

1917 church was all that we [oe ' fs “i

Our High School was closed and demolished by the time I got here, which gave us a site to develop a park- ing lot. But since we were still float- ing an elementary school, there was no money for that. Neither was there money to develop some sort of a social hall. Back then, at every meeting of our parish Pastoral Council, there was talk about the necessity of having both if St. Ambrose was to survive and thrive. As

a professed “building junkie” I was disposed and sympa- thetic to the wisdom of that cause.

One of my earliest friends in the parish was Jim Smith. Jim and I hit it off immediately as kindred souls who knew that by shaping our building, we are shaping our future. Jim was a gradu-

ate of Lawrence Tech. He worked as an architect for Arthur DesRosier, which led him to a job with Eero Saarainen, later Giffels and Rossetti and Sauriol Bo- hde Wagner. If you follow American Architecture in the Midwest, you’ll under- stand the pedigree.

Jim and I spent lots of evenings over a bottle of Courvoisier _ re-designing the rectory after the fire of 1989 — putting it into a better func- tioning working and living space. That led to a renovation of our sanctuary, our church seating and a collaboration on a Baptismal Font. [The parish has

postponed building a perma- nent font during the depres- sion and never had the funds to do one later.] I can’t ever remember Jim asking for any compensation for any of these things, which was per- fect because we didn’t have any funds to spare anyway.

In 1987, Pope John Paul II announced a visit to Detroit

with less than six months notice. Given my ability to talk with architects and contractors, I was placed on the com- mittee by Cardinal Szoka to prepare the venues — the Cathedral, Hart Plaza,

Ford Auditorium, Hamtramck, and the Silverdome where a Pontifical Mass

would be celebrated.

As akeen observer of previous Papal events, I wanted to use this op- portunity to present Detroit on a world- stage in the best possible light. After all, Detroit already had a certain cache in terms of Post Modern architecture. | pushed to assemble some of the best of those talents.

Quick on the top of the list was an old friend, Gunnar Birkerts. Born and raised in Latvia, Gunnar escaped ahead of the advancing Soviet army to- ward the end of the Second World War. He received his degree in Architecture in Germany where he studied under the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto.

Via Chicago, Birkerts immi- grated to the Detroit area in the early 1950s, where he worked for Eero Saa- rinen, and was chief designer for Mino-

= tu Yamasaki before opening his own office in Birming- ham. I enlisted Gunnar to de- sign the Pontifical Mass site at the Silverdome. Both of us realized the importance of the setting in terms of show- ing the world that Detroit was more than automobiles and abandoned neighbor-

hoods.

Enter into this mix was James C. Scott. Jim graduated from Denby High; his family shopped in the Jef- ferson Chalmers corridor. He was the dean of Detroit’s landscape architects with a degree from Michigan State. In addition to a successful practice in Bloomfield Hills, Jim was devoted to Detroit. He was the driving force be- hind the popular “dirt shows” aka “De- troit Home, Builder and Flower Shows that transformed Cobo Hall into an oa- sis of life every year.

Gunnar and I had agreed that we needed to make the Silverdome venue for the Papal Mass into some- thing that spoke of “Pure Michigan.” It needed to be simple — wood, water and vegetation. Jim Scott was the perfect man to execute that vision — includ-

ing locating thousands of a remarkable species of 7radescantia for the event.

The Pontifical Mass at the Silverdome still stands as one of the more “authentic” sites in a long list of world-wide Papal visits. And I should mention, that neither of these men were

Catholic. They offered their talents without compensation because of their respect for the Pope and their love for Detroit. The Catholics involved, how-

ever, sent invoices after the event.

All three of these remarkable talents Jim, Smith, Gunnar Birkets and

Jim Scott converged upon St. Ambrose.

My lunches with Jim Scott, while he visited his corporate clients in the area, spawned a plan for the St. Ambrose parking lot and memorial walkway — which included an ambi- tious street closing.

Eventually that led to a gather- ing space. I asked Gunnar to give us a plan. He responded with the ARK, a small signature masterpiece of sim- plicity where light is a primary build- ing material. For which, he charged the parish nothing.

Because of contractual issues,

excluding Gunnar’s firm from the actu- al building product, I drafted Jim Smith to lend a hand in the ARK designs.

Thus the problems of St. Am- brose — parking and gathering space — were solved utilizing the ideas of some of Detroit’s best talents.

All three of these men, died

without much fanfare. Gunnar in 2017. Jim Scott, aka, “Jim the Baptist,” died

suddenly this February. I was privi- leged to give him his final “dirt show.” Jim Smith, passed the day after Christ- mas 2019. I concelebrated his funeral on the last day of 2019.

I write not only to establish the record, but to honor three friends who

deserved to be remember by the people of St. Ambrose for the gifts of their tal- ents for “our good and the good of all His Holy Church.”

TRP

Faith Formation Station “Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for | am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

This Sunday’s Gospel invites us to freely surrender our burdens to God. We are reminded that we can come to Him at any time with our troubles — and lately there are many of them. Quarantine has no doubt given us all new labors and burdens like we never imagined. I’ve lost patience with my children, with the pandemic, with monotony, with myself —so much so that I went away last week on a desperate camping trip away with one of my boys and left the other one at home so that I could get a break from all of their bickering and fighting. I offered up my trepidations about catching the virus in restrooms along the way and hit the road so that I could be renewed by the fresh air of God’s creation, so that I could rest where I often feel centered in peace and closet to myself and to my faith: nature. I took time up north on the trail, at the lake, under the stars, and in our tent listening

to the rain to really offer my worries to God and to pray that I could find strength and mercy in His grace. Did I come back perfectly refreshed, did all the fighting stop between my children — no, not perfectly, but with a renewed sense of prayer, of quiet, of shifting my frustrations and worries to the side — I have been able rest more easily in my days and in the Light of God’s presence.

After Mass this weekend, take time to reread the Gospel reading (Matthew 11:25-30) and ask your children the following questions:

¢What is God the Father like to you? ¢What kind of “yoke is Jesus talking about? (P.S. It’s not an egg. ) ¢What burdens do you have lately? *How can we pray to God to help lighten our load? Offer those prayers up to Him.

Mr. Sebastien Foka’s fifth grade class wrote about the presence of Jesus. I offer you some of their reflections:

«Jesus 1s present in the celebration of the Mass when we speak of the things he has done and when the bread and wine become his body and blood. — Ava

¢Jesus 1s there listening to us and our prayers when we pray. Jesus is with us every day not just in the church. - Eden

«When we pray, it’s like we are talking to Jesus and he is there praying with us. I imagine that when I pray I am on a beautiful balcony looking out on to an ocean talking to Jesus about things that are happening in my life. - Maeve

¢The Eucharist is the teacher. It will show you the way. It tells us how Jesus sacrificed it all for us. — Camilla

«Jesus is present when we pray. Jesus is present when we read the Bible. Jesus is present when we sing songs and when we talk about him. — Elyse

«The Eucharist makes us feel safe and forgives us our trespasses. Having a little bit of Jesus helps us as we go along in our week. — Claire

Faith Formation Station, continued FIRST EUCHARIST FAMILIES:

We're still trying to find a way of bringing our second grade students into their First Holy Communion. They would have received the sacrament this past April, but the pandemic changed all that. We’ve come up with a few options for our families to consider. So far, a little less than half have responded — with no clear concensus. The proposals on the table are; 1. Individual First Communions done at a weekend mass of choice, 2. A corporate First Communion with the class done either in the early fall, or on Thanksgiving weekend, 3. Rolling the event into the Communion class of 2021 next Spring.

If you have not done so already, please submit your reply to Fr. Tim’s letter regarding options for the celebration of First Communion. A follow-up email was sent last week; please check your inboxes and reply as soon as possible.

CONFIRMATION FAMILIES: Students can use the summer months to complete the information in their

Confirmation Packet: Saint’s name report, sponsor biography, service reflection sheets, interview questions, Holy Spirit prayer, etc. Do not let the summer go by without working on this packet as I’m sure 9th graders will be very busy in the fall.

Newman Connection We can believe what we choose.

We are answerable for what we choose to

believe. - Blessed John Henry Newman

Choosing a college is one of the

biggest decisions a student will make in

his/her life. Some choose easily by go-

ing to the college that is closest to their

home or perhaps an alma mater of their

parents. Some find it more challenging

and weigh all of the options. Either way,

The Catholic Newman Connection sup-

ports students throughout this process by

connecting them to the campus ministry

of their chosen college, uniting with them

in prayer, and helping them grow in their

faith, creating a community of Catholic

students nationwide. If you are headed to

college, or are in college now, go to new-

manconnetion.com. Get connected, unite

in prayer, and grow in faith.

The whole academic commu-

nity is invited to participate in a program

called “United in Prayer.” It’s a national

network of Catholics praying together

in unity for the benefit of Newman Cen-

ters and Catholic Campus Ministries all

across the country. United in Prayer is the

platform on which our Newman Centers

were founded. It is the very heart of their

ministry. Heart Speaks to Heart. The net-

work contains students, alumni, religious

orders, chaplains, and lay supporters all

united for one cause. Unite in prayer every Wednes-

day at 7:00 p.m. and every Sunday eve-

ning at 3:00. Log onto https://www.new-

manconnection.com/

Prayer for Pregence Let us be present to the now.

It's all we have and it’s where

God will always speak to us.

The now holds everything, rejects nothing and, therefore,

can receive God too.

Help us, God, to be present to the place we most fear,

because it always feels empty, it always feels boring, it always feels

like it's not enough.

Help us find some space within that we don't try to fill with ideas or opinions.

Help us find space so you, loving God, can show yourself

in that place where we are hungry and empty.

Keep us out of the way, so there is always room

enough for you.

Good God, we believe

that you are here and your presence gives us hope. We thank you for each day

of our lives.

We thank you for so many further chances to understand,

to forgive again to trust again, and to love.

We thank you that we live now, that our problems are soul-sized.

We ask that you teach us and lead us, that you put

the thoughts into our mind that you want us to think,

the feelings in our hearts that you want us to feel.

Reconstruct us. Put us together because we don’t know

how to do it ourselves.

We trust that you are hearing this prayer, and that you care

for the answer more than we do. We pray therefore not alone,

but with the whole body of Christ in Jesus's name.

Amen.
