Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 30, 2018

Reflection for Sunday

This Monday, October 1, I will be going to the Carmelite monastery in Jackson to celebrate the feast day of St Therese of Lisieux with our beloved Carmelite sis-ters. It is fascinating that this cloistered nun who died of tuberculosis at the age of 24 in a remote area in rural France more than a century ago is one of the most pop-ular today. Born Therese Martin, she left behind a notebook containing her story, as well as correspondence that she wrote to family and friends. She did not write huge volumes of complicated theology like St Augustine or St Thomas Aqui-nas. Yet, the profound nature of those writings and the way they have touched the souls of the faithful throughout the world prompted Pope John Paul II to name her as a Doctor of the Church, one of only four women to hold that distinction. Therese is a very much a product of her time and of her early life. She was very much spoiled and dotted upon by her family, especially by her father after the death of her mother when Therese was 4 years old. Therese entered the Carmelite convent when she was 15 years old - a very young age to become a religious sis-ter. Her writings and her story should be read in the spirit of her reality and in the reality of our faith. Even though Therese was a cloistered nun whose life was confined to her con-vent in rural France, Therese was named the co-patron saint of missionaries in 1927, along with the great Jesuit missionary St Francis Xavier. Even though Therese did not go overseas to the missions herself, she had a special love of the missions. She prayed for the missions; she prayed for missionaries. She wrote let-ters of support to them. This is a reminder to all of us who feel we can do nothing if we are not missionaries living in a far away land that it is the little things that keep God's kingdom growing. We can all pray for the missionaries each day. You can ask yourself how can you be more missionary and support the missions on your journey during Lent and after Lent as well. St. Therese believed that the people of her time lived in too great a fear of Gods judgment. She saw this fear as stifling, not allowing people to experience the freedom of the children of God. She went to God as a child approaches a parent with open arms and a profound trust. In the spirit of Therese, we are challenged to see the little things in life as a part of Therese’s “little way”, doing ordinary acts out of your love for God. Wheth-er we are doing chores around the house, running errands, doing our work, inter-acting family members, these can be acts that are lifted up to God, acts that come out of our faith. Therese once said: “Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant deeds, count as nothing.” St Therese, the Little Flower, we unite our prayers with yours.

St Francis of Assisi Feast Day - October 4 - Blessing of the Animals Many of us here at St Jude love our pets. With our parish cats Blessing and Mary Woodward patrolling the parish grounds and wanting to be held all the time by parishioners, our love for animals is very obvious. Weather permitting, we will have Mass outside this Thursday at 6:00 pm right outside the daily chapel on the grass. Bring a blanket or chair to sit on with your pet. Mary Woodward and Blessing will be there. We may try to get Mary Woodward the

lady to bring her cat Bella. We would love to have your pet blessed in a special way on that day.

Father Lincoln and Deacon John will be cele-

brating the feast day of St Therese of Lisieux,

Carmelite nun and Doctor of the Church, at the

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

From its earliest days, the Church has had an interest in the education of young people. In ancient Rome, teachers of boys had to resign their posts in order to become catechumens, since the education of boys was so keyed to the lore and worship of the gods. In other ages, public education has been so attuned to other values that creative solutions have arisen.

In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Ireland, government schools had a goal of “Anglicizing” the Irish in culture and religion. Most Irish Catholics opted out in favor of “hedge schools.” In these largely secret schools, meeting not just in the shadow of hedges but also in cottages and barns throughout Ireland, schoolmasters provided eager students with a classical education ground-ed in Greek and Latin, Irish literature, the banned Gaelic language, and the catechism of the Church. The so-called penal laws forbade Catholics from teaching young people publicly or privately, and “civil disobedience” ruled the day. In 1826, a British government study showed that of half a million Irish children enrolled in schools, 403,000 were in hedge schools! A woman named Nano Nagle defied the law by opening schools for the poor. Eventually her companions became the Presentation Sisters. A layman named Ed-mund Rice, inspired by her courage, founded the Irish Christian Brothers for the same purpose. By 1820, the situation eased, since Irish Catholics had shown that they would defy any law that diminished their love of learning and threatened their faith.
