HOMILY

PROFESSION OF FAITH Please Stand I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

All bow while saying: and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accord-ance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

ROOTS AND REUNIONS:

THE VALUE OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

“Nobody has better roots than us.” With these eye-catching words, I opened the e-mail inviting me to a reunion for 1977 graduates from several St. Paul Catholic Grade Schools. A St. Mark’s alumnus was credited with the above tagline, and it immediately resonated with me, a proud Na-tivity graduate. Yes, if I have learned anything about St. Paul during my lifetime, it is that this city’s roots run deep and

wide. One classmate from Nativity described the reunion with the word “surreal” in that he had not seen some classmates in decades. For me, it was not so much surreal as it was a poignant reminder how God continues to guide me through all the years and that I received a pretty solid for-mation in the faith. Many find reunions to be awkward, especially as time alters our appearance and we scramble to recall names, sneaking peeks at nametags before introducing ourselves. But I did not find the gathering awkward at all. Perhaps I have significantly more self-confidence than I did in those days, and any sense of competition has long since vanished. Still, we chuckled about the competitive “time tests” in math class as well as our unlikely Catholic Athletic Association City Baseball Championship.

Nearly 15 years ago, while filling in at a suburban parish, I delivered a Sun-day homily about the importance of never giving up, of facing difficult odds with courage, conviction and faith. I illustrated my point by recalling that my 8th grade baseball team lost twice to St. Mark’s during the regular season and that neither game was even remotely close. But we got “hot” in the playoffs and ended up playing them for the third time in the city cham-pionship game. Our pitcher (who flew in from Arizona for the reunion) told us before the game that “we had nothing to lose,” as no one expected us to make it a game. “Just have fun and do not sell yourselves short,” our coach added. And so we did, playing the best game of the season, edging the Markers 2-1 for the title. St. Mark’s boasted several players who went on to win a state championship at Cretin High School in 1981, earning scholarships at Division I programs such as the University of Minnesota or Wichita State. While distributing Holy Communion, imagine my surprise when the star player from St. Mark’s more than 25 years before appeared in my line! You can’t make it up! He’s a Delta Airlines executive today and a wonderful man. At the reunion, he quickly recalled that Mass, and I assured him that I had not seen him in the pews while delivering the homily!

I also approached a Holy Spirit alum, explaining to him that arguably my “greatest” individual moment in my storied athletic career (insert sarcastic tone here!) came at his expense. As an 8th grader, this kid was at least 6' 2" and threw a nasty curve ball. Why our coach even put me in against him, I’ll never know. Nor can I assure you that my eyes were even open when I swung. But I ripped a grounder that scooted under the outstretched glove of the first baseman. I was so surprised that I almost fell prey to the dread-ed 9-3 put out. For those unfamiliar, that means that I was so slow that the right fielder (9) nearly threw me out at 1st Base (3)! But I collected my hit. By the way, that opposing pitcher also went on to play college baseball as a Minnesota Gopher. We all had a good laugh.

I visited with a number of classmates both from Nativity as well as other nearby schools. Several shared with me their involvement in their local parishes and that their kids attend or have attended Catholic schools. I met two women who attended High School at Saint Agnes, and so I shared with them my later connection with that school. For a little over three hours, no one seemed to worry about what kind of car we drove, our

waistlines or hair color. We had simply gathered as Saint Paul kids who grew up in neighborhoods in which we all walked (or biked) to school and who could to this day identify one another’s homes. Much of the conversa-tion centered upon inquiring about our respective parents and siblings. I even made a “confession” to one of my classmates, admitting my jealousy following our 8th grade roller-skating party at Saints West. During the spe-cial (girl ask guy) trip around the rink, the girl on whom I (and many oth-ers!) had a crush selected him, not me. Some wounds never heal!

Memories are powerful, for good or for ill. While time passes, it also heals, and thankfully, for the most part the good memories outlive the bad. We all share much more in common than we might think at first glance. Life has thrown each of us a curveball or two– that is part of the journey in this “valley of tears.” And yet, God blesses us, he molds and shapes us. As we reviewed the names of our teachers, we marveled at their patience with us through the years. We recalled certain details with laser-like exactitude, while other anecdotes elicited looks of bewilderment as we struggled to remember. But there is no question that deep impressions were made. I hope all teachers in Catholic schools know the degree to which they can have a positive influence on a young person’s life. I am indeed proud of my roots, and I would not trade them for anything. May the Catholic for-mation we all received continue to bear fruit in all of our lives.

• A rare copy of a 1493 A.D. letter written by Christopher Colum-bus has been returned to its rightful owner. An actuary from Atlanta had purchased the document in good faith from a rare book dealer in 2004 for $875,000! He died in 2014, and only after his death was it determined by U.S. Homeland Security that this was indeed the copy that had been stolen from–are you ready?– the Vatican Library! Co-lumbus’ account of his voyage to the New World describes lands with “large flowing rivers” and “trees of endless varieties.”

• St. Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata) died twenty years ago this coming Tuesday. I would be hard pressed to name a more influential woman of the 20th century than she was. I do not mean merely in the Catho-lic Church, but worldwide. Her radical love of Jesus in the poor was transformative for the Church and the world.

• When I caught just the tail-end of a story that ESPN had reassigned an Asian-American reporter from covering the University of Virgin-ia football game, sending him instead to Pittsburgh, I was confused. Why was he reassigned? Then I found out– the announcer’s name is Robert Lee. Are you kidding me? The events in Charlottesville were horrible– I dedicated an entire column to it. If this is not an example of political correctness run amok, what qualifies?�

• Each registered Cathedral parishioner receives a packet of steward-ship envelopes. In addition to the weekly offering, the packet con-tains several other envelopes. For example, the Caritas Fund comes in a monthly yellow envelope. Through your help, I recently pur-chased additional gift cards that will assist those in need of food, bus transportation, etc. We also donate to worthy charities out of this fund. Next week, we’ll take a special collection for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, following the devastation in Houston. �

VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES

Blessed are those who mourn. . . Connick’s east rose window, the Resurrection window, set in 1932, was an immediate and universal success. But Connick’s transept windows were not in place until the mid-40s. During the interim, Archbishop John Mur-ray outlined his thoughts on the windows. He selected the Beatitudes as the theme for the window in the south transept, and with Msgr. Lawrence Ryan designated eight saints who lives exemplified the Beatitudes.

One of the saints who remained on the list through many revisions was Saint Peter Claver, chosen to remind the faithful: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit, la-bored among the Blacks of South America and the West Indies. He was sent to Cartagena (modern Colombia), the principal slave market of the New World. There for thirty-three years he dedicated himself to the ser-vice of the slaves. It was his practice to board the slave ships as they en-tered the harbor. He offered food and drink and cared for the sick and dying. He followed slaves to plantations and continued to minister to their needs. .

The selection of Peter Claver was in keeping with Archbishop John Ire-land’s well-known convictions on race. It is recorded that from the days of his early priesthood, Ireland dedicated himself to erasing the color line. He wrote, “I have felt myself drawn toward the cause of black men. . . I have labored for them and induced others to labor for them. . . The color line must go, and soon too. . . . Doors of all Catholic institutions must be open to all. . . . I will rejoice in my soul when this social prejudice shall cease, and in the meantime, I will work in the name of humanity, of religion and patriotism to kill it out.”

John Ireland was a local and national leader in the areas of civil rights for African-Americans. He exercised that leadership in the education of black men for the priesthood. It was John Ireland who admitted Stephen Theo-bald to the Saint Paul Seminary, the first black man to be ordained as a diocesan priest in the United States. Ordained in 1910, Father Theobald was assigned to Saint Peter Claver Parish.

and The Catholic Church in the Diocese of Saint Paul, by James Reardon.

Note: The feast of Saint Peter Claver is September 9.
