MALLIA’S MOMENTS By Fr. Joe Mallia Now that the big celebration for St. Patrick is done and the warm-up band is off the stage so to speak, we can get to the real highlight of the month of March, the Feast of St. Joseph, husband of Mary. For people of Italian and Polish backgrounds, the Feast of St. Joseph is just as big as St. Patrick is for the Irish. That being said let us take a moment to think about this man, St. Joseph.

3)

4) 5)

There is very little that is known about him other than what is spoken about in the Bible. We know that he was of the line of David, but the Bible is not very clear on if they lived in Bethlehem and then moved to Nazareth or if they lived in Nazareth, went to Bethlehem and then moved back to Nazareth after a short stay in Egypt. It depends on which of the two gospels you read. We do know that he was a carpenter, but we do not know when he died, where he is buried and if in fact he was older than Mary. In the Orthodox faith, they hold that Joseph was previously married and after his wife died, took Mary as his wife. Such things have some foundation in early Christian writings though not widely accepted by the Catholic Church. Other than that, not much is known about the man and the implication that he was a quiet man is based primarily on the fact that there are few recorded words that he was supposed to have spoken. Being a man of few words is common to men named Joseph by the way. So why all the fuss about him? The little that is recorded about St. Joseph in the Bible does lead us to admire him for his care and devotion to Mary and Jesus. It could be surmised that though not a well -respected profession, St. Joseph provided a moderate standard of life for his family and was a man who had great faith in accepting the call of the Lord in his life, even to take Mary into his home as his wife and not take the easy way out. If nothing else, in today’s world, a role model that does not take the easy way out is one we desperately need. As we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph let us pray together: “O God, in your eternal providence you chose St. Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother; grant that we may deserve to have him as our intercessor in heaven even as we venerate him as our protector on earth, with you who live and reign, world without end. Amen.” ***Stations of the Cross, every Friday evening at 7pm.*** Please Remember: 1) Weekly Mass attendance is mandatory! You should make every attempt to be at Church unless you are ill or have to work. 2) You should be praying every day. We have provided materials for Lent, but you can also find something on your own. I suggest at least 30 minutes of prayer each day and some

6)

spiritual reading for your meditation on the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. Try to attend a daily Mass, especially on Tuesday, each week beyond Sunday or 30 minutes of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament in our Adoration Chapel each week. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plan on going to confession once before Easter. This is very important if you have not gone in a long time. It is encouraged that your Lenten penance be focused on a behavior you do not want to return to rather than something you wish to pick up once Lent is over. Fridays are still days when we are to abstain from eating meat. Maybe a conversation at the dinner table on that day about faith would be appropriate.

NEWS and EVENTS FROM THE DEACON’S DESK A REFLECTION FOR THE SEASON OF LENT WEEK 3 The Eucharist is a pledge of future glory. The fullness of Holy Communion will only be realized when we enter into heaven and see God, not in the mystery, but to see Him face to face. Only in that glorious eternity can we understand the awesome value of this precious Eucharistic gift. This week’s reflection is centered on the glory of this precious gift and what it means to each of us. Out of the many things that can be said about the Holy Eucharist, I have only chosen 4 items for us to consider; joy, thanksgiving, reverence, and humility. It is always a good practice for us to ponder upon the heavenly things that God has provided for us. I do not have the capacity nor am I able to fully explain here in this reflection on all the eternal truths of the Eucharist, but even this little bit can move us towards the truth. We are called to holiness. All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of the Christian life in holiness and to the perfection of charity. This calling makes our faith and our participation in the sacraments necessary because only God can provide these attributes of holiness and the perfection of charity. God includes us in a personal way; he shares himself with us, by way of the sacraments, provided we receive him in faith. In a sense, in consuming the Eucharist, we are allowing God to take us by the hand and lead us back to our original state of creation, as beings of holiness and justice. This simple but lofty contemplation should bring us great joy because God is offering us the privilege to exist in his image, his likeness, and in a very personal way, for his glory. In comprehending the truth that God calls us into His Love, our hearts should sing a song of thanksgiving to the Lord. For God sent the Son into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. (John 3:17) We all know to some degree, contingent upon our maturity, that one of the most intimate things we can do is reveal ourselves to one another. God has revealed Himself to humanity many times in history, ultimately in the Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ. Our response to God’s revelation, as believers, demands that we constantly prepare our lives for that eternal communion with Christ in heaven. That is why it is so important to prepare properly for Holy Communion, to encounter God in the sacrament. In the sacred liturgy we are called to the altar to communion with the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This encounter is more than a pledge of future glory, this invitation to communion with the Son is a most wonderful opportunity to be presented to God, the Father Almighty; for no one comes to the Father, but by me. (John 14:6b) Thanks be to God. Jesus tells us that He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in Him. This is why we give such reverence to Jesus, especially that in the Eucharist. No matter where we have been in life or what we may have been involved in, God is faithful to these words. Through the ministry of His Church, souls find their way back home by means of conversion. It is the sorrowful, repentant heart that moves heaven to rejoice: there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance (Luke 15:7); and there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. (Luke 15:10) The Holy Eucharist is not for the perfect soul but for those who desire God and want to learn the life of divine love. When we

approach Jesus in the Sacred Host we must hold in our hearts our love for Jesus, because He has died for love of our love. In light of His love for us, we must approach with a profound reverence since through the mercy of God we shall not die but live; As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. (John 6:57) We should be humbled by the love God is offering to us in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus extends his hand from heaven and from the Cross to feed us the Bread of Life; For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. (John 6:55) Indeed, to learn the life of divine love is to begin in faith and consume Jesus in the Eucharist, because He who does not love does not know God; for God is love (1 John 4:8) and God is in the Sacred Host. This is our food for the journey, a spiritual food that is necessary for our growth in the Christian life, the sacred bread of our pilgrimage until the moment of death when it will then be given to us as viaticum. We must keep these 4 things in our hearts and in our minds each time we approach the Sacrament of the Eucharist; Joy, Thanksgiving, Reverence, Humility. That is why confession is so necessary for our preparation because it clears away all the obstacles that would hinder this most sacred moment of Holy Communion. A thorough and honest look at ourselves allows us to place our imperfections before the Lord in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, that through this sacrament and in his great mercy he will heal and strengthen us. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me. (Psalm 51:10-11)

RCIA ELECT Please meet Catechumen Joshua Seth Lockwood: My name is Joshua Seth Lockwood and I am thirty years old. I am an Eastern Michigan Alumni and a Michigan certified teacher. I'm going through the RCIA process because I want to become a full member of the Catholic Church, and be baptized in the name of the Lord. Growing up as a child, my siblings and I were a church going family. We were practically raised in Bethesda Baptist church. My father became the music director and played the piano, while my mother sang. When my parents divorced we stopped going to church slowly but slowly until we just didn't attend anymore. When I was in high school I started back to church attending with my Grandmother at First Presbyterian in Trenton. Once I started college I began to lose my faith in God even though I took two years of world religions and was brought up going to church. About two years ago, I started attending Catholic Mass at Saint Joe's Catholic Church in Lake Orion. I went with an open mind and heart. I began to read the Bible and pray every day, while researching the Catholic faith and traditions, and slowly I started to see a change in me. I saw a change in the way I thought, spoke, acted, and really saw and felt God calling me. And to this day, I feel the presence of the Lord working in me every day. I absolutely love going to church, reading my bible, saying my daily prayers, and just living a holier life. The people at Saint Frances Cabrini have been extremely wonderful in welcoming me into the parish and words really can't express how much I cherish that. I'm thoroughly looking forward to completing the process and growing as a member of the Catholic Church.

growing as a person and as a Christian, but I see my faith strengthening as well. Although I was raised Catholic my entire life, the process of RCIA has brought me even closer to God. This has been a privilege to work with Joshua, and it brings me so much joy to see him grow more spiritually every day and I can't wait to stand with him as he completes this process when he is baptized, confirmed, and receives the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. Please meet Druyor:

Catechumen

Kim

There were so many things that led me to the R.C.I.A process. It is important to me to keep Christ in our home, which involves leading my children by example. I am a baptized Christian, however, like many of us, I put my spiritual life on hold while the more “important” things took priority. Through R.C.I.A. I have learned so many amazing things about our faith as Catholics, as well as keeping Christ first in our home. This year is particularly unique to our group going through the program because of all the changes that are taking place within the church. I feel that it was the perfect time to become part of such a wonderful process, and learn all these new things along with the other members of the church. My fiancé, my daughter, and I will be participating in the Easter Vigil where I look forward to becoming fully initiated into the Catholic Church, and continuing to grow in my faith. A word from Sponsor, Chris Marmion: I was raised Catholic and have become involved with R.C.I.A. through my fiancé. After being away from the church for many years I have rediscovered and strengthened my faith with the help of R.C.I.A. and the Cabrini community. Since I have been away, I too am learning all the changes that have taken place. It is very important to us to keep God in our home and set a positive example. I look forward to our marriage in the eyes of God as well as sharing our lives as Christians. The R.C.I.A. process and attending Cabrini church have had a positive impact in my life. Please meet Catechumen: Kelli Fabbri I have gone through this RCIA process a couple times. During each of those failed attempts, my heart wasn't really into it. This time, I am definitely ready to be faith-filled and trusting in the Lord. I also want to set and live examples of Jesus' teachings in my own life with my husband and sons. I am thrilled to share this with my family.

A word from Sponsor, Kristin Lockwood: A word from Sponsor Chelsea GrantI am honored to be Joshua Seth Lockwood's sponsor as he becomes fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Here is a little bit of information about myself. I am Joshua's sister-in-law. My husband, two daughters and I belong to the parish. I have two daughters ages three and eight months, and our youngest daughter was baptized at our parish. When Joshua asked me to be his sponsor I immediately said yes. Not only do I see him

I was honored when Kelli asked me to be her sponsor. The thought of helping someone else grow in faith really appealed to me. Growing up in the Catholic faith helped shape me as a person and I am extremely thrilled to help Kelli through her journey of faith.

MEMORIAL PLAQUE FOR THE GARDEN If you are considering honoring your loved one with a memorial that will last a lifetime, you may want to consider having their name put on one of our plaques in the Memorial Garden. The plaques are now placed on the outside wall of the church facing the garden and we need approximately 100 to 110 names before the plaque can go to the engraver. We now have 61 names, so we still need 48 names. Please come into the rectory and fill out a form and give your loved one a memorial that when their friends and family walk through the garden they can read and remember the good memories. The names put on the plaque do not have to be deceased and in this way you can honor your whole family.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Arbor Hospice is seeking committed, compassionate individuals who are interested in companioning the terminally ill in your area. Complete training classes will be provided and held in your area. No physical care skills needed. The most important requirement is a desire to help a patient or a family member struggling with a terminal diagnosis. If interested please call Gerry at 734-656-0031 or email: [email protected].
