Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time September 4, 2017

(Continued from last week) In response to his radio broadcasts, Monsignor Sheen received a steady stream of letters. In 1937, he wrote in a letter to University Rector Monsignor Joseph Corrigan, "During the past year letters demanding personal attention have run between 75 and 100 a day . . . . This coupled with classes never given with less than six hours preparation for each lecture has left me physically exhausted. However the good to be done is such that one dare not shrink from its opportunities for apostolate." Many of those letters were invitations to speak. Monsignor Sheen traveled all over the country giving academic lectures, missions, retreats, guest homilies (including here at St. Vincent Martyr), commencement addresses, and speaking at meetings of various Catholic organizations. The busy professor not only kept up his full teaching schedule but also wrote numerous books. He published 34 books during his 23-year teaching career at Catholic University (and another 32 after he left the University). In addition, transcripts of his weekly radio talks were published in dozens of booklets by the show's sponsor the National Council of Catholic Men. Many of his other talks and sermons were published as pamphlets. He also was a syndicated columnist in the secular press. On Easter Sunday, March 24, 1940, Monsignor Sheen appeared on the world's first broadcast of a Catholic religious service. He spoke on "The Spiritual Symbolism of Televison." The program was broadcast by W2XBS, the experimentally licensed predecessor of present-day WNBC in New York. It was sponsored by the National Council of Catholic Men in celebration of their twentieth anniversary as an organization and the tenth anniversary of their sponsorship of "The Catholic Hour" radio broadcast. By the time Monsignor Sheen left Catholic University in 1950 to become the national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, he was already one of the most well known Catholics of his time. The next chapter of his mission would catapult him to unprecedented fame and influence. He was consecrated a bishop on June 11, 1951. In the Fall of that year, he began his famous television series, Life is Worth Living. It was a tremendous success, eventually reaching an estimated 30 million viewers each week, which would make it the most widely viewed religious series in the history of television. He won an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality, was featured on the cover of Time Magazine, and became one of the most influential Catholics of the 20th century. Bishop Sheen is credited with raising many millions of dollars to support Catholic missions through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. For 16 years, he led this effort for 129 dioceses throughout the United States and influenced the lives of tens of millions of people all over the world. He also was known to have led numerous people to convert to Catholicism, from working-class New Yorkers he encountered in his daily life to celebrities who sought him out for instruction. Among those New Yorkers he encountered in his daily life to celebrities who sought him out for instruction. Among those whose conversions he influenced are agnostic writer Heywood Broun, politician Clare Boothe Luce, automaker Henry Ford II, Communist writer Louis F. Budenz, theatrical designer Jo Mielziner, violinist and composer Fritz Kreisler, and acress Virginia Mayo. Between 1962 and 1965, Bishop Sheen attended all the sessions of the Second Vatican Council. He worked closely with then Father Joseph Ratzinger, who was a theological expert on the commission for mission, and who later became Pope Benedict XVI. In a 2012 interview with Vatican Radio, the Pope recalled how "Fulton Sheen . . . would fascinate us in the evenings with his talks." In 1966, he was named Bishop of the Diocese of Rochester. He resigned from that position in 1969. In his resignation letter, Bishop Sheen wrote, "I am not retiring, only retreading." Pope Paul VI named him Archbishop of the Titular See of Newport, Wales. Archbishop Sheen remained active, spending the last years of his life chiefly in writing and preaching. A consistent theme in Archbishop Sheen's preaching throughout his life, especially in his later years, was the benefits of making a holy hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Author Michael Dubruiel said, "There is no one in the modern church who has done more to popularize the practice of praying in the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. This was not advice that Bishop Sheen gave without practicing it himself. Throughout his years at Catholic University, he maintained his daily holy hour, praying in Caldwell Chapel and in the private chapel in his residence. Many people who worked closely with him over the years attest that he never failed to keep his holy hour from the day of his priestly ordination until his death on the floor of his private chapel in Our Lord's presence. In 2002, Archbishop Sheen's Cause for Canonization as a saint was officially opened under the leadership of the Diocese of Peoria, and from then on he was referred to as a "Servant of God." On June 28, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI announced that the Congregation for the Causes of Saints had recognized Archbishop Sheen's life as one of "heroic virtue", and proclaimed him "Venerable Servant of God Fulton J. Sheen." On March 6, 2014, the board of medical experts who advise the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints unanimously approved a reported miracle attributed to his intercession. On June 17, 2014, the seven-member theological commission that advises the congregation unanimously agreed with the medical team's findings. The next major step in the Church's canonization process would be beatification.

Stewardship

Christian Formation Needs You!

One of the many opportunities for Stewardship at St. Vincent Martyr Parish is Christian Formation. The Christian Formation program assists families with the important task of faith formation in our youngest parishioners. There are many programs under the Christian Formation umbrella which encompasses infants through eighth graders. As the summer winds down and fall approaches, a new school year will begin and with it a new cycle of faith formation begins also. Christian Formation is seeking catechists for the Traditional Monday program which includes school aged children from grades K through 5. This program runs from October through April and the time commitment is 1.5 hours per week on Monday afternoons. Educational materials and training will be provided to catechists. Do you have a calling to help the young members of our parish develop their faith? For more information contact Denise Stefanelli at the following email address: [email protected].

Parking Lot Update for the Labor Day Weekend

After a delivery delay, construction continued with the digging of a trench along the rear of the parking lot. The conduit was set in place and filled with crushed stone. The stone will require two weeks to settle. During that time, the area will not be paved. None-the-less, the parking lot will be open for use. The area about 10 feet wide along will be outlined with traffic cones. Please be mindful of the unpaved area and do not allow children to play there. As of this writing, we believe striping will begin August 31st or September 1st. It requires two days to paint the lines and drying time - weather permitting. Plans have been reviewed. The parking spaces will conform to the 9 foot width requirement and, new handicap van accessible spaces will be added. School begins this week. We hope the lot to be completed. If not, please be careful. There will be people to help direct traffic and your patience is greatly appreciated.

OPEN POSITION - MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR This is a full-time position in an active and busy parish and school. The candidate is responsible for overseeing, coordinating, and, in most cases performing the maintenance, repair and upkeep of all parish and school buildings and grounds including, but not limited to, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. The position reports to the Pastor and School Principal. Three to five years' experience in the plant management field, general knowledge of plumbing, electrical, HVAC and landscaping processes required. In addition, supervisory experience is required as well as excellent interpersonal, communication and organizational skills, ability to multi-task and work with budgets.

Family Perspective

Relationships live in a careful balance. If a person changes, the balance is altered requiring a shift in the relationship. In today's gospel Jesus announced a change and Peter resisted. Sometimes, those we count on for support may actually get in the way. Jesus told Peter: "You are an obstacle to me."

XXII Domingo del Tiempo

Ordinario

Primera Lectura: Jer. 20, 7-9

Desde muy joven, Jeremías tuvo la encomienda de anunciarle a su pueblo la violencia y destrucción que sufrirían por desobedecer a Dios. Se lamenta por que no le hacen caso y se burlan de él. Su expresión de hoy también aplica a nosotros y nos invita a que actuemos diferentes y aceptemos su mensaje de conversión ante el llamado de Cristo. Segunda Lectura: Rom. 12, 1-2

San Pablo, nuevamente, nos ofrece otra

alternativa para vivir en Cristo. Es una

invitación a realizar algo distinto que nos

producirá una renovación a la vida de

cristiano que llevamos. Acepta la

exhortación del apóstol y empieza a vivir

de forma diferente de la mano de Jesús.

Evangelio: San Mateo 16, 21-27

Escucharemos un conocido texto del

evangelista Mateo donde Jesús afirma su

presencia en medio de los que oran y del

grupo que se congrega en su nombre.

Cada vez que nos reunimos los cristianos

Jesús está entre nosotros, presencia que

ha de transformar nuestras asambleas y

comunidades y nuestras vidas.

Los profetas

Cuantas veces hemos venido a la Eucaristía y hemos escuchado que la primera lectura, por lo general es del Antiguo Testamento, es tomada de un profeta como Jeremía, Isaías, etc. Quiero compartir con ustedes algo acerca de los profetas comenzando con los profetas mayores.

Profetas Mayores: Isaías, Jeremías,

Daniel Ezequiel

¿Qué son los profetas? Las palabras

hebraicas que la Biblia usa para

llamar a los profetas son: Nabi, Hozé,

Zoé (vidente). La más frecuente es

Nabi: el que habla con vehemencia,

bajo el influjo de una fuerza

superior, un inspirado.

La palabra profeta es griega y

significa: “Hablar en nombre de...”.

Por tanto, el nombre profeta indica

claramente la misión de estos

hombres: el profeta es el que habla

en nombre de Yavhé; es su voz viva

en medio del pueblo, para recordar

las promesas entre Dios y su pueblo,

para enderezar y corregir. Por tanto,

tiene doble finalidad; ANUNCIAR Y

DENUNCIAR.

En la Biblia también los profetas son

llamados como: guardianes del

pueblo, centinelas de Yavhé. Son

hombres de fuerte personalidad y

espiritualidad, intermediarios,

siervos de Yavhé. Son hombres que,

bajo el impulso de Dios, comprenden

lo que está sucediendo y transmiten

al pueblo un continuo llamado a la

conversión, y su misión es discernir

la voluntad de Dios sobre el presente

del pueblo, para proyectarlo a un

futuro de esperanza y de salvación.

Continuará…
