LENTEN PENANCE:

OUR ANNUAL SPRING RETREAT

Spring Training opens today in Fort Myers, FL, as the Twins pitchers and catchers make an early arrival prior to the first full squad workout next Saturday. Spring Training conjures up many images, though not usually spiritual ones. This year, the first hint of baseball coincides with the First Sun-day of Lent, and it is not far-fetched to think of Lent as “Spring Training” for the soul, a retreat of sorts. To some

extent the corporate world has taken over the word “retreat,” in ways quite foreign to how we use it in the Church. Corporate retreats are often held at swanky resorts and conference centers boasting gourmet cuisine and four-star amenities. The whole idea is to step aside from the hustle and bustle of the corporate world for a chance to re-group, re-focus and re-connect with colleagues. This is a noble purpose, within reasonable limits. But each year the Church gives us an opportunity to have our own retreat right in the privacy of our own homes. Lent is the Catholic Church’s annual retreat, and it does not cost us a dime. People know in their own hearts that we need such a time. Why else did so many receive ashes this past Wednesday?

The earliest mention of Lent originates from the first Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. That Council is best known of course for the pro-fession of faith– the “Nicene Creed” – which is still recited each Sunday seventeen centuries later. But in what appears almost as an afterthought in an obscure Canon pertaining to bishops’ Synods, a very significant detail is added: “The synods shall be held at the following times: one before Lent, so that, all pettiness being set aside, the gift offered to God may be un-blemished; the second after the season of autumn.” I get a kick out of see-ing ‘pettiness’ in an ecumenical council document– human nature has not changed since the 4th century, has it?

One of my professors at the Gregorian University in Rome, Fr. Norman Tanner, S.J. (an expert on ecumenical councils) wrote about this first ap-pearance of Lent: “The word used for Lent in this fifth canon is tessara-konta (in Greek), which means ‘forty’. For the first time in recorded history, we have mention of this period of preparation for Easter as lasting forty days.” The Italians call the season Quaresima, deriving from the number forty; Latin scholars prefer Quadragesima, while Spanish speakers use the term Cuaresma. The British Fr. Tanner also notes (I hope with some pride) that our English term “Lent” comes from an early English word that es-sentially means “lengthen,” as the days are lengthening as spring ap-proaches. The theologian Irenaeus wrote a letter to Pope Victor in 195 A.D., in which he discussed not only the divergent dates for Easter be-tween East and West, but other customs. He elaborated: “The dispute is not only about the day, but also about the actual character of the fast. Some think that they ought to fast for one day, some for two, others for still more; some make their ‘day’ last 40 hours on end.” (quoted in Euse-bius, History of the Church, V, 24)

Just as by now we are longing for warmer weather, so too people are hun-gering for authenticity. We know that we cannot hide from our sinfulness. The Maronite Catholics (from Lebanon) beat us all to the punch, as their Lenten season began the Monday before Ash Wednesday. They belong to a different rite within the Church, but are every bit as Catholic as are we Latin-rite Catholics. Conversely, Milan, Italy has preserved its own distinc-tive rite too, named after Saint Ambrose. But they do not observe the cus-tom of Ash Wednesday in the Ambrosian Rite. Personally, I think I’d feel a bit slighted without it. I have as many memories of Ash Wednesday as

Holy Week in some respects. We mark sacred time in a tangible way, and cannot escape our finitude on this earth, no matter how we try. Nor can we escape our sinfulness either.

Six years ago, while speaking about confession at a Sunday Angelus, Pope Benedict XVI remarked: “The sins we commit distance us from God and, if not humbly confessed with trust in divine mercy, they go so far as to produce the death of the soul.” (15 Feb. 2009) Christ came to bring life to our souls, but we have some necessary spiritual housekeeping to do in or-der to be properly disposed to receive His love and grace. I hope and pray that this season of Lent will be productive and rewarding, and to that end I encourage everyone to challenge themselves by means of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. I am especially excited to be leading a Lenten pilgrimage to Italy in honor of our centennial, even if it means “No Gelato” this year! Buckle up…it’s a long season. May this retreat produce a real change of heart, and lasting spiritual fruit. By the way, fruit does not count as a des-sert in my Lenten world!

• Prior to the induction of its new members, the College of Cardinals gathered to discuss the reform of the Roman Curia. From multiple pontifical councils, two new congregations could be formed; one would be responsible for the laity and family life; the other would fo-cus on works of charity, justice, and peace. It will streamline operations as well as give greater prominence to matters pertaining to laity, family life and works of charity.

• Did you know that on February 21, 1921, the corner of Summit Ave. and 3rd St. (now Kellogg Blvd.) became the site of Minnesota’s first School Safety Patrol? It was the brainchild of Sister Carmela Hanggi, CSJ, from our very own Cathedral Grade School. Within a year, 90 schools had followed suit. While in sixth grade, I myself was a proud mem-ber of the Nativity School Patrol!

• Last year’s “feel good” story about a Chicago inner-city baseball team that won the U.S. Championship at the Little League World Series in Williamsport ended with a thud. The title was stripped because the team consisted of several ineligible players who lived outside the geo-graphic boundaries. They even had an audience with President Obama in the Oval Office. It is sad that the adults, who bear 100% responsi-bility for this cheating, inflict this disappointment on 12 year-olds.

• Speaking of cheating…Brian Williams will pay a stiff price (six

months pay) for his suspension from NBC News following allegations that he misrepresented significant details about his experience while covering the war in Iraq in 2003. “Oh, what a tangled web we weave; when first we practice to deceive.” (Sir Walter Scott, Marmion).

Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. John L. Ubel,

Rector

DAILY MASS MOVED TO CANA CHAPEL.

Daily Mass will move to the Cana Chapel during the “Marble Restoration Project” in the Sanctuary. This portion of the project should span over approximately a three week time period. Sunday Masses will be held in the main church as usual. Thank you for your patience— we are certain the finished product will be worth the wait.

HISTORY: STATIONS OF THE CROSS

The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary.

Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church.

Similarly, the 150 Hail Marys that were recited for the rosary were an adaptation of the medieval monastic practice of reciting the 150 Psalms in the Psalter.

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the two days when Catholics ages 18-59 must fast. When we fast, we eat only one full meal and are permitted two additional snacks not to equal a full meal. Those whose health or work would be impaired by this rule are dispensed from this obligation. On those two days, as well as every Friday in Lent, all Catholics age 14 and older are to abstain from eating meat

An Invitation: Your Voice in the Archives. The history of the Cathedral is partly enshrined in the archives, with records, letters, photos, official documents—and oral histories of the past 100 years. It’s time to begin collecting the oral history for the next 100 years. If you have memories—personal or family stories of the Cathedral, send them for the Voices for the Archives Collection. We’ll keep them, and with your permission, share them during the Centennial year. Last week, we received a small photo of an altar boy with the note: “This is my grandfather. He was an altar boy at the Cathedral—and was proud of it all his life.” One couple wrote that Msgr, Hayden discovered their great grandparents’ wedding certificate with a note on the back by Archbishop John Ireland: he had performed their ceremony in 1916. There are stories of Baptisms, First Communions and proud stories of parents and family members witnessing the ordinations of their sons, brothers, and nephews. We invite you to be part of the his-tory of the Cathedral: add your voice to the Voices for the Archives Collection. archives@cathedralsaintpaul.org, 651.228.1766.

Centennial Notes. Take the Centennial home with you and share it with others. Visit the Welcome Center and find notecards that show the beauty and the history of the Cathedral—inside and out. Two sets of notecards are available: The first eight-card set of photos, “A Cathedral for All Sea-sons,” shows the exterior of the Cathedral—stunningly photographed in spring, summer, fall and winter, by Greg Povolny. The second eight-card set, “The Cathedral Frescoes,” features Mark Balma’s frescoes: In the North transept, the fresco shows the log cabin chapel, the first Cathedral of Saint Paul, with the title: Bishop Joseph Cretin, the first bishop of the Diocese of Saint Paul arrives, July 2, 1851. The south transept fresco recalling a 1915 anniversary is titled: Archbishop John Ireland leads the congregation into the Cathe-dral of Saint Paul, Dedication Day, April 11, 1915. The cards sell for $6 a set or two sets for $10.

Listening House Sock Drive. The February Sock Drive is just two weeks in process. In those two weeks Cathedral parishioners donated 470 pairs of socks, which have already been delivered to Listening House. And right on time, so we were told: “We’re just about running out of socks.” With the final weeks before us, rounding out the number of socks donated to 1000 is an attainable goal. If you haven’t taken the opportunity to be part of the February Works of Mercy initiative, take time now. Drop a pair or two in boxes you’ll see at the Cathedral entrances. You’ll be doing it for those in need at Listening house, and in that act, sustaining the Body of Christ in charity.

Centennial Works of Mercy – March: BeFriender Ministry. BeFriend-ers—their name is their vocation. BeFrienders practice their Catholic faith by visiting the homebound and sharing the Eucharist. Simple principles guide their work: the awareness that God is present, the acceptance of people as they are, supportive non-judgmental presence and active listen-ing. Cathedral Befrienders visit and take the Eucharist to Regions, United and Children’s Hospitals, to Bethel and Galtier Health Care Centers, to the Amy Johnson Residence, the Quinlan Care Homes, and Shalom Senior Housing and Assisted Living. BeFrienders assist Catholic Chaplains in hos-pitals—they carry the Eucharist, they pray the Rosary, and give the com-fort of the Faith to Catholic patients and family members. For more infor-mation about the BeFriender Ministry, call Deacon Phillip Stewart, 651.228.1766.

100 Years of Marriage Exhibit. The collection of wedding photos for the 100 Years of Marriage exhibit is growing: we have at least one photo for every decade, and hope to exhibit one for every year from 1915 to 2015. Precious wedding photos are often submitted with stories that tell us something of the history of the Cathedral. A recent photo came with this story: “Our 4th and 5th great grandfathers, Joseph and Isaac Labissoniere were two of the builders of the original log cabin Cathedral chapel. They are related to us through our Mother’s side of the family—Ganyo, Labine, Verboncouer, and then Labissoniere. The Cathedral has a very special history for us besides being our ‘spiritual home’ for many years and we are happy to be celebrating 100 years with you.” ACSP.
