“Charity is patient, is kind...is not provoked to anger.” 1Cor. 13:4.5. Charity is never wearied and is never impatient with the ungrateful. It is not irritated when repulsed, but perseveres in loving and doing good. Charity should not look for gratitude. Even when coldness and hostility are encountered it should continue to give itself...all for love of God!
The characteristic of charity, according to Saint Paul, is that it does not permit itself to be “overcome by evil” but it “overcomes evil by good.” Rom. 12:21.
Charity is completely forgetful of self. The soul who truly loves God spends itself for its neighbor because love of God and love of neighbor are one and the same! Love of neighbor has its source in God!
“Teach me, O Lord, to love my neighbor even when not loved by him, to love him with no concern for my own benefit, but solely because You love me, solely to repay Your gratuitous love.” St. Catherine of Sienna.
In Christo Jesu et
Maria Immaculata,
Father Jeff Fasching

EXTRAORDINARY FORM OF THE MASS (LATIN)
CELEBRANT: Father Jeffery Fasching
September 1st, 15th Sunday after Pentecost
Epistle: Gal. 5: 25, 26; 6: 1-10-- Gospel: Lk. 7: 11-16
There will be NO LATIN MASS September 2nd through September 6th. Fr. Fasching will be on vacation.
Although young infants will often sleep or rest quietly during the time of Mass, there are times when they must be taken out of the church so as to not be disruptive to the priest and the rest of the congregation. The Holy Sacrifice is a time of prayer. Some parents seem to find difficult to remove their children from the church when they find it hard to control them. We must remember that the saints assure us that distracted efforts to pray are always richly rewarded. Parents may always ask other adults without children to pray for them during the time of Mass. Pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary for patience and ask the Holy Family for help.

January 23, 2011 Third Sunday after Epiphany
Epistle: Rom. 12, 16-21
Gospel: Matth. 8, 1-13
Mass schedule January 24 through January 28
Monday--Saint Timothy, Bishop & Martyr—NO LATIN MASS
Tuesday—Conversion of Saint Paul
Wednesday—Saint Polycarp, Bishop & Martyr
Thursday—Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop, Confessor & Doctor
Friday--Saint Peter Nolasco, Confessor
The presence of evil is always a reality on this earth. If we are honest, there is sometimes an evil that rises up from the depths of our own hearts. How do we fight against this evil? The lesson that our Lord gives us is simple, yet often very difficult to carry out. Christ invites us to be gentle in the face of evil. We must strive to live in peace with everyone. We must strive to forgive everyone. When we experience injustice in the world we must name it for what it is. When we experience an offense against God we must name it for what it is as well. We cannot reply with evil when we are confronted with evil. Saint Paul reminds us that we must bless our persecutors and pray for those who would harm us.
In today’s Gospel we see illustrated the great popularity of Jesus. Huge crowds gathered around to listen to Him. The Jewish leaders dared not arrest Christ for fear of what the crowds might do. However, the elders opposed Christ and called for His execution.
Christ cures the man with leprosy. The Church Fathers have pointed out that leprosy is a vivid image of the reality of sin. Sin is ugly, disgusting, contagious and difficult to cure. We are all sinners and in need of God’s forgiveness and grace. The leper in the Gospel knelt down before Christ and begged to be made clean. He begged with humility and confidence. Christ thus answered the leper’s plea. If we turn to Christ with this same faith, He will always sanctify our souls.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching

--Mass for the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be offered at 7:00pm in the Cathedral on Wednesday, December 12th. This will be a High Mass.
--Pot luck dinner immediately following Mass on December 12th.
--The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the six days of obligation in the United States. See the Canons of the Code of Canon Law for Sundays and Holy Days.
Christ comes to us through Word and Sacrament. God is the author of all Sacred Scripture. This gives to Sacred Scripture a character of excellence we cannot ignore. Christ is truly present when the Scriptures are proclaimed. Scripture is of the highest order since it is in fact the Word of God. Scripture helps to instruct us in the faith. It also gives us hope and consolation in times of trial. There are many examples in Scripture which encourage us to be patient and spur us on to fight the good fight. We must constantly reflect on the Scriptures particularly when God asks sacrifice from us. He does so because He has a greater reward in store for us in heaven.
We have a responsibility to listen to God’s word attentively. Through prayer we must then discern what God is asking of us. Receiving the Eucharist gives us the strength and courage to carry out God’s will in our lives.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching

Putting on the “new man” is a transfiguration that involves the whole person—soul and body, mind and will. Our willingness to live a Christian life takes daily effort and struggle. Conversion is a life-long process.
The virtue of charity is a gift from God and must be nurtured. Saint Paul refers to other virtues which are in one way or another all expressions of charity. Meekness, patience, forgiveness and gratefulness are all a result of the virtue of all virtues—humility. Only if we are humble can we be forgiving and thankful.
If we want to achieve holiness we must make every effort to practice charity. Charity involves a real, concrete expression of one’s self-service to God and men. If we want to experience the true peace of Christ we must practice charity.
The Second Vatican Council states: “Lay people, while meeting their human obligations in the ordinary conditions of life, should not separate their union with Christ from their ordinary life; through the very performance of their tasks, which are God’s will for them, they actually promote the growth of their union with Him. This is the path along which lay people must advance, fervently, joyfully” (Apostolicam actuositatem, 4).
