WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

Dear friends in the Lord:

At Baptism, each of us is marked by the Lord and en-

trusted with a special responsibility to tell the world of His mes-

sage and invitation. We are, indeed, called to serve as His mis-

sionaries.

World Mission Sunday affords all baptized Catholics an

opportunity to celebrate their missionary vocation through pray-

er and sacrifice for the missionary work of the Church.

This year's World Mission Sunday, October 21

st

, marks

the 110th Anniversary of our “mission independence.” Through

1908, the Church in the United States was the beneficiary of the

generosity of the Catholic faithful of Europe through the Society

of the Propagation of the Faith. In fact, two—thirds of the very

first collection of the Propagation of the Faith, in 1822, was sent

to the Church in America, making it possible to build churches

and schools, educate clergy and religious, provide for the good

works of religious communities, and support evangelization here

at home. By a 1908 papal decree, the designation “mission terri-

tory" was removed from the United States. More than one hun-

dred years later, as we recall our own mission history, we are

called upon to assist both spiritually and financially the more

than 1,150 “young churches” in Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands,

and Latin America, all of which have the same needs that the

United States once had.

With this in mind, please be as generous as your means

will allow this World Mission Sunday so that the Propagation of

the Faith can continue to spread the “Good News" to the grow-

ing faith communities of our day. So, too, following the call of

our Holy Father, Pope Francis, let us pray that our celebration of

World Mission Sunday will generate within us a renewed aware-

ness of the need to proclaim the Gospel to all corners of the

world.

Faithfully in Christ,

Timothy Michael Cardinal Do-

A LETTER FROM FR. JIM

“As you may have guessed, I have become more

deeply involved in everything Epiphany, and I’m no

longer able to celebrate Mass at Holy Family on Sun-

days. It began this summer when I thought I would be

able to get over there but uncertainties about my

schedule and Fr. Titus’ extended from May until late

June, and then I decided to do a repeat of my walk

across Spain on the Camino de Santiago--which effec-

tively cancelled any weekends tor Holy Family. But

then assessing the multiple new programs we are

starting here beginning this month, it became clear to

me that I couldn’t really leave the parish on Sundays

anymore.”

“I want to thank you for your gracious generosity to

me especially, for allowing me to celebrate Mass with

a community that I have been blessed to know and

love for 30 years. The good people of Holy Family

have always inspired me by their devotion, kindness

and generosity, and I learned a great deal from them

about how to serve as a priest. I am grateful for all my

brothers and sisters at both Holy Family and St Rita's,

and hope to stay in touch with many of them despite

being on a different island!”

With gratitude,

Jim Mayzik SJ

Catechism on the Real Presence

by Saint John Vianney

Our Lord is there as a Victim; and a prayer

that is very pleasing to God is to ask the Blessed Virgin to

offer to the Eternal Father her Divine Son, all bleeding,

all torn, for the conversion of sinners; it is the best prayer

we can make, since, indeed, all prayers are made in the

name and through the merits of Jesus Christ. We must

also thank God for all those indulgences that purify us

from our sins . . . but we pay no attention to them. We

tread upon indulgences, one might say, as we tread upon

the sheaves of corn after the harvest. See, there are seven

years and seven quarantines for hearing the catechism,

three hundred days for reciting the Litany of the Blessed

Virgin, the Salve Regina, and the Angelus. In short, the

good God multiplies His graces upon us; and how sorry

we shall be at the end of our lives that we did not profit

by them!

When we are before the Blessed Sacrament, in-

stead of looking about, let us shut our eyes and our

mouth; let us open our heart: our good God will open His;

we shall go to Him, He will come to us, the one to ask,

the other to receive; it will be like a breath from one to

the other. What sweetness do we not find in forgetting

ourselves in order to seek God! The saints lost sight of

themselves that they might see nothing but God, and labor

for Him alone; they forgot all created objects in order to

find Him alone. This is the way to reach Heaven.

Catechism on the Priesthood

by Saint John Vianney

My children, we have come to the Sacrament of

Orders. It is a Sacrament which seems to relate to no one

among you, and which yet relates to everyone. This Sacra-

ment raises man up to God. What is a priest! A man who

holds the place of God -- a man who is invested with all

the powers of God. "Go,” said Our Lord to the priest; "as

My Father sent Me, I send you. All power has been given

Me in Heaven and on earth. Go then, teach all nations. . . .

He who listens to you, listens to Me; he who despises you

despises Me. “When the priest remits sins, he does not say,

"God pardons you"; he says, "I absolve you.” At the Con-

secration, he does not say, "This is the Body of Our Lord;"

he says, "This is My Body.”
