St. Thomas More

Supper at Emmaus by Peter Paul Rubens, 1640

“Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Luke 24:32

SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2020

“Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the Scriptures.” This potent line from today’s Gospel is a powerful reminder that we should always recognize the whole of the Bible as important for us to understand and better know our God. I think that often we think of the New Testament as being about Jesus and the early Church. And we are correct. But if we categorize the Old Testament as irrelevant to us and only stories about a mean and vengeful God of the past, we don’t know our Lord very well at all.

The Gospel passage with the above line is referring to Jesus talking to the two disciples about the Scriptures, which at that point didn’t have or even know about that which would be called the New Testament. So even the early Church realized that the whole of the Old Testament was setting the stage for, foreshadowing and speaking of the promise of our Heavenly Father that we would eventually see being fully realized in Jesus from Nazareth, who is the Christ.

So never ignore or neglect the power of the word of God to speak to you of His love, mercy and providential plan for our salvation. It is found throughout the Bible, Old and New Testament alike.

As we begin another week of living with limits to our being able to come together as a community for Mass and other purposes, we continue to face the reality of the economic effects on so much of what we took for granted just a couple months ago. I hope I have appropriately shared with you my appreciation and gratitude for your ongoing support of the parish through your prayers, your presence for Adoration throughout the week, your participation in the live-streaming Masses, your e-giving or mailing in your offertory and your kind words and support for the parish staff and the clergy. We for our part are doing what we can to maintain as strong a presence of pastoral efforts and resources as we can in this time. We have come to grips with the fact that our offertory is obviously down from what was budgeted for a year ago. We have curtailed as many expenses and unnecessary activities as we can. We have applied for the Paycheck Protection Program grant to assist with maintaining employee salaries and benefits for at least the next two and a half months, and were approved. And we are still trusting in the Lord as a true stewardship parish by donating 10% of our offertory to the work of charity. We would never ask anything of you that we were not willing to carry through with ourselves. With that in mind, I would like to point out an area that we feel we could save even more money in, with your help. I mentioned last weekend at the Mass that I am grateful for all who have registered with the Faith Direct e-giving program for your parish offertory. It is a great blessing for us to be able to count on and know of your ongoing support. It has another benefit that I also mentioned.

I shared that every month, due to those who still give through the use of offertory envelopes, we spend $2,600 a month in paying to process and have the envelopes printed and mailed to the households of our parishioners who are not using the Faith Direct system. That amounts to over $30,000 a year that could be used in other areas of ministry expense and support, if it were not necessary to send out the envelopes. If you are one of those who still receive offertory envelopes, I would ask you to consider switching to using the e-donation process offered by Faith Direct. You will find directions for doing just that on page 5 of today’s bulletin. It would be a true blessing and provide great potential for us to direct the stewardship of our community in new and exciting areas. And again, thanks for your generous spirit. I see that the stewardship message has been embraced and continues to be witnessed by so many of you. God bless you all for that support.

– Msgr. Tom

treasurePope Francis’ Prayer with

Mary for COVID-19O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation

and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your

faith firm. You know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy

and to feasting after this time of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead

us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection.

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but

deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.Amen.

that we are not God, that we are creatures, that we have been created by God and for God, and that it really calls us out of indifference. It calls us out of seeking our own preferences. And it truly is a wakeup call.”

On what to pray for

“I want to give you encouragement, continue to pray, continue to open

your heart to the Lord and really put your trust in him, and especially to exercise the virtue of charity and especially for caring for the elderly. It is the people who are 60 or older who are most impacted by this virus.

And so it will be important in the weeks and even months ahead to be cautious and to follow all of the directives of health care providers and and so that they do not get sick.

And it’s important to stay in touch with our elderly and to give them encouragement during this time, because it’s difficult for them as they’re confined to their homes or confined to their rooms if they’re in nursing homes or in assisted living places, most of them are confined.

And so keeping them in prayer and holding them up to the Lord and also really praying for health care officials and and praying especially for scientists.”

Deacon Lanciotti’s comments

On how we can overcome the virus

“The challenge is we’re facing a highly transmissible respiratory virus that’s been introduced into a population that has essentially no immunity at all. That’s what is the foundation of a pandemic.

Social distancing provides a great opportunity to do something many of us likely don’t do much of anymore: speak on the phone.

And on Sunday, March 22, that’s exactly what 20,000 people of the Archdiocese of Denver did with Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila and former CDC virologist Deacon Rob Lanciotti.

The call was hosted to answer the faithful’s questions about the coronavirus outbreak and how the archdiocese is responding.

A multitude of topics were touched upon, including a spiritual reflection from Archbishop Aquila on how we as Christians are to respond in this pandemic, what it means to “flatten the curve,” and much more.

We’ve assembled some quotes and highlights from the call for you below. You can also listen to the full call at archden.org/live

Archbishop’s comments:

On whether God created coronavirus

“…We need to understand that it is not God who creates the plague or the virus. This is something of nature. It happens. And and with that, the Lord certainly permits it. And it is to him that we truly need to turn during this time and and certainly seek his wisdom in all that we do and in the decisions that are made certainly in our own time.”

On what the Lord is teaching through this

“…As we reflect on it from a spiritual point of view, we can see that the Lord perhaps is desiring to bring good out of this, and that is to wake us up to the truth

And so it’s I think it’s important to understand that what will ultimately end this pandemic is immunity in the population – people developing antibodies and other activations in their immune system to combat this virus.

Now, immunity is only achieved two ways.

One is by getting infected naturally.

And the other is by vaccination. And so that’s really the goal, is for the population to develop immunity to this virus. I know there’s a vaccine that’s already in people in trials in Seattle, but that’s what we need.

We need immunity. What these measures are designed to do is slow down the number of infections so that everybody can be adequately treated in a hospital.”

On social distancing and flattening the curve

“One analogy to think of is if you took all of the crime that occurs in Denver in a year’s period and condensed it into one night, what would happen?

It would be a disaster, because a lot of people that would normally be treated and and taken to a hospital and cared for, a lot of those people would needlessly die because there just aren’t enough personnel, ambulances, so forth and so on.

And that’s essentially what these measures are

designed to do. We want to slow down this epidemic such that everybody who is infected, it can occur over a longer period of time so that everyone can be treated comprehensively. That’s what we mean by flattening the curve.

In a typical epidemic where you do nothing, you get an incredibly logarithmic or rapid rise in cases. And it all happens fairly quickly in a matter of weeks or maybe a month.These measures are designed to slow things down so everyone can be treated.”

On how we should respond

“I would just remind everyone this is the time to take precautions to do the right thing, but not to panic. At the end of the day, we’re talking about a virus that in the majority of cases will not cause severe outcomes.

There are many people that are suffering from this, but it is a virus that is is going to have a minimal effect on the majority of the people. And so we have to be safe and we have to show love and charity to those around us by not transmitting it.

There really is no cause for fear. We just have to wait this out, follow what we’ve been told and pray that in addition to all that we can do to slow this down, that God will intervene as well and help us.”

Call-in comments

Gratitude for Archbishop Aquila’s leadership

“Your Excellency, I’m just calling to thank you so much for your care and prayers for us and for your words of encouragement that is helping us to get through this difficult time.

Thank you especially for caring and for protecting our priests. Know that there are many, many of us that are praying for you daily, for the most powerful intercession of Mary and St. Joseph, for your protection, strength and peace, and good health. Thank you, your excellency.”
