ST. GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL PARISH BULLETIN June 28, 2015
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
As we say farewell to Fr. Doug and Sr. Kathleen, it is appropriate that we look back at all of their many
achievements and all that they taught us during their ministry here at St. Gabriel. However, we would have to
extend the length of the bulletin substantially to accomplish that! Rather, we can find the essence of what they
have taught us in two lessons from today’s Gospel reading.
The Gospel is about two healing incidents in the life of Jesus, healings which show that Jesus willed life, and
willed full life. The Greek word for being healed also means being saved: to be brought to full life is the essence
of salvation. To believe that Jesus can bring us from death to full life is the essence of faith.
If Jesus wills us to full life, He does so for everyone. In the Gospel, both the synagogue official’s daughter and
the hemorrhagic woman were healed. Every individual has an inherent and immeasurable worth and dignity;
each human life is considered sacred. No one should live life on the survival level or in fear of all the types of
death found in this world. Jesus Christ challenges us to create a society that values life and rescues people from
all forms of death and dying.
Over the years Fr. Doug and Sr. Kathleen have talked to us about God calling us, in love, to full life-- through
the sacraments, through prayer, through service, through the liturgy, and through fellowship and love of our
neighbor. We have witnessed both Fr. Doug and Sr. Kathleen exemplify these things in many ways during their
time here; from visiting and praying with the sick and the troubled to executing a mean ‘bus stop” during parish
celebrations. Jesus calls us to life!
With sincere appreciation to
Fr. Doug and Sr. Kathleen
Thanking you for your Ministry and Service to St. Gabriel the Archangel Church…
You were always there –
lending a helping hand, offering a prayer, inspiring, challenging, educating, encouraging, shepherding and
supporting.
We ask God’s continued blessings on both of you for all that you are and all that you have done.
God bless you for your ministry here!
In the Peace and Love of Our Risen Lord!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The premier poet of the English language, Geoffrey
Chaucer, introduced one of his most beloved characters,
the “Wife of Bath,” by this telling remark: “Husbands at
church door she had five.” Four times widowed, she was
setting off on a pilgrimage, notably without number five.
The church door is a curious detail, pointing to the
fourteenth-century wedding custom of marrying on the
porch of the parish church. The goal was to give
maximum publicity to the consent of the groom and
bride, and so consent was moved from the bride’s home
to a public venue. The priest would stand in the doorway
and begin by sprinkling the couple with holy water. He
needed to make sure they weren’t too closely related and
give them some instruction. He would direct the groom
to pay the bride’s family a dowry, and then announce the
monetary amounts to the interested passersby. Only then
would the guests enter the church for the wedding Mass,
during which the bride and groom would hold lighted
candles. The gradual move from home to church and the
shift from the bride’s father to the priest’s authority
helped to protect the freedom of brides who weren’t quite
as confident as the Wife of Bath.

Prayer to Mary Immaculate
Patroness of the United States Blessed Mother Mary, we turn to you in
prayers for all
the people in these United States. We
again place ourselves in your care,
in the gentle hands that cradled the
Child Jesus.
We ask you to make us more alive in our
faith,
more generous in our love,
more trusting in our hope.
Teach us to imitate Jesus, as you did, and always to
follow him with your courage.
Mother Mary, help us to become a people who hunger
for justice and who burn with compassion for those who
suffer in our midst.
Make us a people who cherish and
defend the dignity of every human person. Free us from
all selfishness and self-interest, that we truly might be
the builders of the Kingdom of God.
Immaculate Mary, Help us to stand among the family of
nations as a people of compassion, generosity, and peace.
Make us a people of vision and courage,
who will gift this world with new life, new hope,
and the unity for which your Son died. O Mary,
conceived without sin, pray for us who turn
with confidence to you today. Amen.

Volunteer Opportunity: Mentors Needed for
Refugees Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans is
seeking volunteer mentors ages 18 and older for their
new Refugee Mentor Program. While the case managers
provide direct, holistic assistance to refugee individuals
and families, many refugees face challenges in their
social/cultural integration to life in the U.S. The Refugee
Mentor Program connects refugee families with a
volunteer mentor who will help encourage self-
sufficiency in America. Volunteers commit to mentoring
a refugee or refugee family for at least 1-2 hours a week
for 12 months. Mentors and mentees determine
convenient meeting locations and times each week. An
orientation/training for refugee mentors will be held
June 30 from 9am-12pm at Catholic Charities Refugee
Services offices, St. Lawrence the Martyr campus, 2505
Maine Avenue in Metairie. To attend this training, all
prospective mentors must contact Peyton Smith,
Refugee Mentor Program Coordinator to submit a
resume and schedule an interview. Call 504-310-6868
or email [email protected] for more information.
