Exaltation of the Holy Cross In the first reading from the Book of Numbers the people complain to Moses, “Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert..?” As punishment for complaining, God sent poisonous snakes which kill many people. The people then ask Moses to intercede for them after admitting their guilt. God instructs Moses to make a statue of a snake, mount it on a pole, and have those bitten look at it, which will save them. The Letter of St. Paul to the Philippians reads like a song and may have originally been a church hymn. It describes how Jesus, who is the “form of God”, emptied himself by becoming man, and further humbled himself by “becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” Because of this God “greatly exalted him”, and declares that everyone will bow to the name of Jesus and confess that he is Lord. In the gospel from John, Jesus quotes the scripture reading from the Book of Numbers to Nicodemus saying, no one has gone to heaven, except the Son of Man who has come down from heaven. He then predicts his crucifixion and describes its salvific powers with the words, “just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert” so must I be lifted up so that everyone who believes may have eternal life. Jesus next measures the depths of his father’s love with the words, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.” Numbers 21: 4b-9

Philippians 2: 6-11

John 3: 13-17

St. Pascal will be hosting a Small Christian Community program this fall starting 10/5/14. Small Christian Communities are made up of 6 to 12 people who meet once a week for 6 weeks to pray and to share the action of God in their lives. Each person shares at a level where he or she feels comfortable. No previous training is needed. The meetings will last about 90 minutes. This coming session is from a booklet called "Why Catholic? Journey through the Catechism." This session begins the week of October 6th and ends the week before Thanksgiving. The focus of this 6 week session will be "Christian Prayer - Deepening My Experience of God." If you would like more information or would like to join us in a Small Christian Community, please call the St. Pascal Rectory at 773 725-7641 and leave your name and phone number. Someone will get back to you. This is an excellent way to re-energize your spiritual life.

From the Pastor’s Desk Today we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. This feast is a reminder that it is only by God’s power and grace, through the blood of Jesus on the Cross, that we are given the possibility of salvation. The scriptures remind us that it is only through total humility and gratitude for God’s awesome love for us that we can accept this free gift. We cannot attain salvation through intellectual assent to doctrinal truths nor by “being religious” or by any merit of our own. Salvation can only be received by humble acceptance. In the reading from the Book of Numbers, the people are literally dying from their sins. When the bronze serpent was mounted on a pole, the people bitten by snakes recovered. This prefigures the gospel when Jesus tells Nicodemus that “just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.” Eternal life is the gift of salvation: to look upon the face of God (Jesus on the Cross) with awe and rapture realizing his incredible love for us. The only way we can realize the gift of salvation is through personal sanctification. This simply is to put on the mind of Christ. This is not intellectual or passive acceptance; this is a personal transformation of the spirit. It comes about in our lives through humility. Humility before God is the letting go of our pride, our intellect, our ego through this self-emptying that St. Paul talks about in his Letter to the Philippians. He tells us that Jesus “humbled himself,

becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

This reading is a beautiful hymn that St. Paul has picked up from an earlier Church tradition that reminds us of the incredible love God must have if Jesus is willing to empty himself of his glory, taking the form of a slave. God is giving up his power to become one of the powerless. We are called to give up the false illusion that we have power (we have none when it comes to sin and salvation) and accept our human weakness. To become obedient, even to the point of death is to put our trust in God and do the right thing, the loving thing, in imitation of Christ because it is the right thing. We are to love and not count the cost. Remember that crucifixion was the most hideous form of death in St. Paul’s world. The Romans used crucifixion: only on the worst enemies of the state. Jesus was willing to die for the kingdom: not that of Rome but that of God. Because he didn’t grasp at his divinity (power) but was willing to give it all up for our sake, God “greatly exalted him”, raising him up in glory. Sin makes us enemies of the kingdom. But, if we are able to humbly accept our inability to save ourselves, if we are willing to let go of our fear and empty ourselves as Christ did, then we, too, will be raised up in glory. On a sad note, Fr. Scott’s mother, Marion Donahue passed away last Sunday after a long illness. May she rest in peace. Please keep Fr. Scott and his family in your prayers. Please see Fr. Scott’s note on page six. There will be a second collection this weekend for the Energy Needs of our parish. There will be a second collection next weekend for the Seminary. Congratulations to our neighbors at St. Pascal’s who are closing the celebration of their 100th anniversary with a special mass and banquet today. Stephanie Lieberman, a local attorney will be hosting an Estate Planning Seminar this Saturday, September 20th at 6 p.m. in Kernaghan Hall. The evening will provide useful information for those who have not yet made provisions for the disposition of their assets as well as those with aging parents who may still need to address this vital but often scary issue. Next Sunday the parish will celebrate the Feast of St. Robert Bellarmine, our patron saint and patron saint of catechists. The Archdiocese also celebrates Catechetical Sunday. There will be a special blessing for the catechists and volunteers at the 10 a.m. mass. Members of the RE program will also host Coffee and Donuts after the masses. Thank you to these wonderful folks who give freely of their time and talent to share our faith with the children. Have a great week. Sincerely, Fr. Neil

Marion E. Donahue It is with great sadness, and with hope and joy in the Lord, that my mother Marion was called home to God on Sunday September 7, 2014. As many of you know, my mother had a wonderful life. Mom was a woman of great strength, character and elegance. In spite of life’s difficulties, my mother raised me and my three siblings, Kathy, Barbara and Peter in a wonderful and secure home environment. As many of you know, my dad was called home to God suddenly when I was in 7th grade, my sister Kathy was a freshman in high school, my sister Barbara was in 8th grade, and my brother Peter was in 5th grade. My mom embraced the challenge of raising the four of us (with help from my mother’s mother) while working every day after my dad died. Mom continued to work into her mid-70’s and never took a sick day. I can honestly say that my mother met every challenge, great and small, with her incredible sense of humor, dignity and grace. Mom was truly a woman of great strength, faith and character. My mother had a deep and abiding faith, which she practiced religiously. It was terribly important for her to teach us the importance of the love of God in our lives, and the obligation we have to put our faith into action. In the last eight years of my mom’s life, my mother courageously battled cancer, enduring six major surgeries. I can honestly say that my mom never complained or bemoaned the fact that she was ill, nor did she let her battle with cancer diminish her wonderful and life-giving personality. I believe my mother broke a world’s record for being in hospice care for over 23 months. Mom was filled with God’s grace. She laughed easily, she always had a beautiful smile, and when she smiled her eyes were filled with light. She did not complain, and she was always grateful for the support of her family and friends. My mother was a proud woman, and she was extraordinarily proud of her four children and six grandchildren. I want you to know that my mother thought the world of you, her friends. On behalf of my sisters, my brother, my nieces and nephew, I want to personally thank you for your support, friendship and prayers, especially during these difficult days. I am deeply grateful to each of you—your ongoing friendship and support offered great strength to my mom, and continues to offer strength to all of my family members. Blessings, Fr. Scott

On August 31, we were honored to have Cardinal George with us to celebrate the noon mass and to give his blessing to Joe and Eileen Yankee on their 50th wedding anniversary. Eileen and her family are old family friends of the Cardinal from St. Pascal’s.

Congratulations Joe and Eileen!
