Welcome toCatholic Church at Fort Gordon, G
Scripture
“…a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity." (Exodus 34:6)
Blessed are you who look into the depths (Daniel 3:55)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be
with all of you. (2 Corinthians 13:13)
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not
perish but might have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Reflection
Who always treats you with kindness and faithfulness?
If you were able to look past the superficiality that is the world and peer into the depth that is your
being, are you able to find a peace residing in that place?
What is the only way out of the chaos and conflict that is the world? How do you find this way?
When I consent to the will and mercy of God as it comes to me in the events of life appealing to my in-
ner self and awakening my faith, I break through the superficial exterior appearances that forms my
routine vision of the world and my own self, and I find myself in the presence of hidden majesty. It may
appear to me that this majesty and presence is something objective, “outside myself.” … Yet this is a
majesty that we do not see with our eyes and it is within ourselves. It is the mission of the Word and
Spirit, from the Father, in the depths of my own being. It is a majesty communicated to us, shared with
us, so that our whole being is filled with the gift of glory and responds with adoration.

Q: What criteria are used for naming cardinals?
A: Since cardinals are the electors of the pope, geography is certainly a factor in their ap-
pointment. For example, every archbishop of New York since 1902 eventually became a
cardinal. It is unlikely, therefore, that the pope will appoint as archbishop there someone
whom he does not intend to make a cardinal.
Geography, however, is not the only consideration. Cardinals are supposed to head the
Holy See’s Secretariat of State and the Vatican’s nine congregations. Anyone appointed to
those offices will probably be made a cardinal.
No country is entitled to a specific number of cardinals. In the last 40 years, in fact,
many cardinals were the first ones ever named in their country.
In 1971, Pope Paul VI set 120 as the maximum number of cardinals below the age of 80;
only they may vote for a new pope. As that number declines, a pope is more likely to ap-point new cardinals.
Pope John Paul II has retained the rule specifying a maximum of 120 members under
age 80. He has also named as cardinals several men over that age. He did so to show his
appreciation for their lifetime service to the Church.
There are now 11 U.S. cardinals under the age of 80, eight serving in this country and
three in Rome. As of October 15, 1999, the Church’s 154 cardinals were born in Europe
(81), Latin America (24), North America (16), Asia (15), Africa (14) and Oceania (4).

PageA Week Ahead… THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI
Pro-Life Mass & RosaryMass First Saturday of each month at Saint Mary on the Hill, 9:15
Rosary at Preferred Health Center right after.
Next week, we will celebrate the Feast of Cor-pus Christi (Feast of the Body of Christ). Thisfeast is celebrated in the Latin Church on theThursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnlycommemorate the institution of the HolyEucharist.
Of Maundy Thursday, which commemoratesthis great event, mention is made as NatalisCalicis (Birth of the Chalice) in the Calendar of Polemius (448) for the 24th of March, the 25thof March being in some places considered asthe day of the death of Christ. This day, how-ever, was in Holy Week, a season of sadness,during which the minds of the faithful are ex-pected to be occupied with thoughts of the
Lord's Passion. Moreover, so many other func-tions took place on this day that the principalevent was almost lost sight of. This is men-tioned as the chief reason for the introduction of the new feast, in the Bull "Transiturus."
The instrument in the hand of Divine Provi-dence was St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon, inBelgium. She was born in 1193 at Retines near Liège. Orphaned at an early age, she was edu-
cated by the Augustinian nuns of Mont Cornil-lon. Here she in time made her religious profes-sion and later became superioress. Intrigues of various kinds several times drove her from her convent. She died 5 April, 1258, at the House of the Cistercian nuns at Fosses, and was buried atVilliers.
Juliana, from her early youth, had a greatveneration for the Blessed Sacrament, and al-ways longed for a special feast in its honor. This desire is said to have been increased by avision of the Church under the appearance of the full moon having one dark spot, which sig-nified the absence of such a solemnity. Shemade known her ideas to Robert de Thorete,
then Bishop of Liège, to the learned DominicanHugh, later cardinal legate in the Netherlands, and to Jacques Pantaléon, at that time Archdea-con of Liège, afterwards Bishop of Verdun, Patriarch of Jerusalem, and finally Pope UrbanIV.
Bishop Robert was favourably impressed,

and, since bishops as yet had the right of order-ing feasts for their dioceses, he called a synodin 1246 and ordered the celebration to be heldin the following year, also, that a monk namedJohn should write the Office for the occasion.The decree is preservedi n B i n t e r i m(Denkwürdigkeiten, V,1, 276), together with
parts of the Office.Bishop Robert did not
live to see the executionof his order, for he died16 October, 1246; butthe feast was celebratedfor the first time by thecanons of St. Martin atLiège. Jacques Pan-taléon became pope 29August, 1261. The re-cluse Eve, with whomJuliana had spent sometime, and who was alsoa fervent adorer of the
Holy Eucharist, now urged Henry of Guelders,Bishop of Liège, to request the pope to extendthe celebration to the entire world. Urban IV, always an admirer of the feast, published theBull "Transiturus" (8 September, 1264), inwhich, after having extolled the love of Our Saviour as expressed in the Holy Eucharist, heordered the annual celebration of Corpus Christiin the Thursday next after Trinity Sunday, at thesame time granting many indulgences to thefaithful for the attendance at Mass and at theOffice. This Office, composed at the request of the pope by the Angelic Doctor St. ThomasAquinas, is one of the most beautiful in theRoman Breviary and has been admired even by
Protestants. The death of Pope Urban IV
(2 October, 1264), shortlyafter the publication of thedecree, somewhat impededthe spread of the festival. Clement V again took the
matter in hand and, at the General CouncVienne (1311), once more ordered the adopof the feast. He published a new decree wembodied that of Urban IV. John XXII, susor of Clement V, urged its observance.
Neither decree speaks of the theophoriccession as a feature of the celebration. procession, already held in some places, endowed with indulgences by Popes Martand Eugene IV.
The feast had been accepted in 1306 atlogne; Worms adopted it in 1315; Strasbu1316. In England it was introduced fromgium between 1320 and 1325. In the UStates and some other countries the solemnheld on the Sunday after Trinity.
In the Greek Church the feast of CoChristi is known in the calendars of the SyrArmenians, Copts, Melchites, and the Rutans of Galicia, Calabria, and Sicily.
