Our Lady of Guadalupe 2019: In Celebration of the Cathedral Parish’s Sesquicentennial Year

Guadalupe and Immaculate Conception Parish converge in one solemn moment tonight as we recall Mary’s apparition to a poor Mexican native and the establishment of this Par-ish named for that very Virgin who appeared to him. The event of Guadalupe is about roses and one rose in par-ticular. Let us unfold the tilma. As we do so, roses fall from the tilma of Juan-Diego miraculously. It was not the time of year for roses. But the bishop wanted a sign. No doubt the bishop thought it a significant challenge. “Let us see if this is really true?” he must have thought. So God provided him with a sign of roses. And from that garden arose a flower of singular significance. A rose is a beautiful flower. The scent of only one rose can fill an entire room. The unique qualities of a rose are what make the rose legendary. We must not forget, however, that roses have thorns. I remember once visiting a rose farm in South America. Acres and acres covered with mag-nificent rose beds surrounded me. The owner of the farm told me that he shipped roses worldwide and that every buyer had different expectations. For example, he said, in the United States, the buyers wanted the thorns cut off. To cut the thorns from roses is so revealing. We do not want pain. We shun the thought of having to suffer, so we cut the thorns from roses. Somehow we see no reconcilia-tion between pain and beauty. Thorns remind us of the pain that is so often present even in the most beautiful of occasions. Think of the sacrifices that our ancestors made to build this parish. Consider the dev-astation of the fire of 1910, how defeated their spirits, how overwhelmed to look upon their church destroyed. Thorns remind us that work is always necessary to bring about a good result. Thorns recall for us that suffering is part of life. We can admire the beauty, but it does not come without some pain and suffering.

Why do we cut the thorns from our roses? They should remain as a reminder of the reality of life’s challenges and how God can overcome all these obstacles. In the Book of Revelation, a glorious vision is presented to us of a woman clothed with the sun and with the moon beneath her feet. Yet, the dragon awaits to consume her child. What happens? God protects them. The dragon cannot harm her or the child. We should not be discouraged. Roses, taking their cue from their Creator, teach us this lesson. What kind of roses do we bring to Mary? A pure heart, a soul made fragrant with God’s grace? Or, do we bring wilted roses, roses that have lost their scent, beauty disfigured by sin. God can make our souls beautiful once again with His grace, just as surely as the faithful of the parish raised up this beautiful edifice from the ashes of 1910. My brothers and sisters, we are called to live a better life than the ones we live. There is always room for improve-ment, to grow a better rose. Our roses always need trim-ming, fertilizing, and tender care. And, yes, the thorns remain, as the reminder of our imperfections—but the reality of the rose is the beauty of God’s grace shining through our human weakness, living virtuous lives, forgiv-ing our enemies, looking for peace and resolving our diffi-culties. Juan-Diego opened his tilma before the bishop and roses fell to the ground revealing a rose of incomparable beauty, the Virgin Mary. Mary is the rose, she who was conceived without sin, the stainless mother of the Re-deemer, the patroness of this church, she who is full of grace. Mary, the rose, is our model. We want to imitate her pu-rity, her goodness, and her fidelity to God’s will. In this way we become more perfectly the rose that blooms in winter and falls to the ground to reveal something even more beautiful. In this way, we make the song of Mary our own: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” The Most Reverend Glen John Provost, D.D., M.A. Bishop of Lake Charles

BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT GROUP If you or someone you know has experienced the death of a loved one (a spouse, friend, sibling, parent, child) you may want to consider participating in this sixweeks Bereavement Program. You do not have to be a Catholic, there is no time

limit as to when the person(s) died and there is no cost...all are welcome.

There is no easy way around the pain of losing a loved one. Grief has no rules and no timetables. Understanding the griev-ing process can soothe the doubts that linger. Learn about the

“surprises” of grief and the emotions that affect you physically, mentally and spiritually. In this sixweek series you will learn

about normal grief and hopefully gain a renewed sense of hope. Come and learn, share feelings and ask questions to gather hints

about picking up the pieces after loss. When: Mondays 19th, 26th,

September 2nd, 9th, 16th Where: Immaculate Conception Cathedral in

Ave Maria Hall Time: 5:30 PM

Please call the church and let the receptionist know if you are planning to attend.
