THE PILGRIM VIRGIN FAMILY ROSARY PROGRAM

Families volunteer to take the Pilgrim Virgin statue home for a week with a commitment to say a rosary each day of that week. You will notify the usher at the Mass of your choice that you are picking up the statue. When you take up the Gifts, you will collect the statue at that time. There are two plastic tubs in the back of church with materials to support your week that you can take, as well. Sign up is in the back of church. We would love to have the Pilgrim Virgin in our church family homes every week. Contact Stephanie Nehus at nehuss@hssd.net for further information.

CHOIR NOTES "In July, the choir would like to sing your favorite hymn! Please drop off your favorite hymn the box in the back of Sanctuary marked "Favorite Hymn" with the missal number and Mass you attend. Happy singing!"

FOCUS ON THE MISSION “There are so many things to do.” “We have so little time.” How many variations of these statements have you heard or even said yourself? Actually neither statement is completely true. There are many things to do in this life, but really few things that are vitally important. Working, searching, conniving, and worrying our way to “gratify[ing] the desires of the flesh,” as Paul relates in today’s second reading, are really non-productive. So little time? When we take on the freedom that Christ offers us, we have all the time we need in this world, and even more in the next. Elisha, the prophet Elijah’s chosen servant, was slightly befuddled about what he should do. When Elijah called, he returned to bid farewell to his parents and provide food for his people. Only then did he follow. Jesus demands something different, something more of his disciples. He calls us to a single-minded determination to drop everything and follow him. Now, not later.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION An old and still vital treasure in our tradition is a document called the “Apostolic Traditions,” giving us a snapshot of church life in third-century Rome. Its author, Hippolytus, describes the liturgical life of the church and records the actual texts of the prayers. The way he explained the various “orders” of the church was the basis for a major reform of the rites of ordination by Pope Pius XII in 1947, and later for the Second Vatican Council. Hippolytus tells us that a bishop had to be elected by the entire people, and that ordination had to take place on a Sunday in the presence of the people, the presbyters, and neighboring bishops. The bishop-candidate is ordained by the other bishops, who impose their hands on his head while everyone else keeps a profound silence, awaiting the outpouring of the Spirit. There is a prayer of blessing said by one of them, on behalf of all, asking for the Spirit and describing his ministry. Later centuries layered new features on top of this liturgy, including the requirement for three bishop consecrators. Today, whenever a new bishop is announced (election by the people is no more), a kind of genealogy is provided, tracing his pedigree through the consecrating bishops down through the centuries to Peter and the first body of believers. Every bishop today can trace his office through his consecrators back to the beginning in a tradition called “apostolic succession.” —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
