Dear Parishioners,
Here is the next installment of The Absence of God
Fulton John Sheen (born Peter John Sheen, May 8, 1895 – December 9,
1979) was an American bishop (later archbishop) of the Catholic
Church known for his preaching and especially his work on television and
radio. Ordained a priest of the Diocese of Peoria in 1919,[1] Sheen quickly
became a renowned theologian, earning the Cardinal Mercier Prize for
International Philosophy in 1923. He went on to teach theology and
philosophy at the Catholic University of America as well as acting as
a parish priest before being appointed Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese
of New York in 1951. He held this position until 1966, when he was made
the Bishop of Rochester. He resigned in 1969[2] as his 75th birthday
approached, and was made the Archbishop of the titular see of Newport,
Wales.
Bishop Sheen continues: Even in his mediocrities and humdrum
existence, he still dreams and hopes to get beyond the present.
Women who have been jaded in many marriages hope to recover
what they were looking for in novels which vicariously supply the
romance which was never romantic. Teenagers substitute worship for
Worship, forge new idols before which they prostrate with a
religious fervor such as Samsons with long hair. But they would
blow a fuse if Delilah used a scissors to shear away that all important
attribute of juvenile divinity.
Man Ltd., or limited, is really unlimited in his desires. Even when he
denies the Infinite, there still come flashes, now and then, of that for
which he was made and without which he cannot rest. It may be the
sight of innocence in a child, or the vision of a beautiful young
woman whose virtue matches her loveliness, or the chance meeting
with a man who never sold his soul.
Our uneasiness even in the midst of thrills is a kind of pain. As Sir
Almroth Wright has put it, “A pain in the mind is the prelude to all
discovery.” We generally do not strive to solve a problem unless it
hurts us to leave it unsolved; many of us would not move unless the
unsolved problem hurt us badly.

Dressing for Church
Yes, it’s quite hot. Yes, it’s summer. Still, there is a certain amount
of decorum that should be observed when entering God’s House and
worshipping Him at Mass. These are not the times to sport your
favorite beach-wear, regardless of how cool and fashionable it is.
Nor should shorts and flip-flops rule the day. Our church is very
nicely air-conditioned so, it’s not too much to dress modestly and,
yes, tastefully, for God. Gents should make every effort to wear
dress slacks and, at least, a sport shirt. Ladies are always at their
most beautiful in a tasteful dress or skirt and blouse. Should ladies
choose slacks, remember looser is always more comfortable than
tighter. Think Betty White rather than Kim Kardashian.
