MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

G eorge Weigel is a Catholic theologian and one of

the world’s foremost authorities on the Catholic

church. He has recently written a book called City of

Saints. It describes the city of Krakow in Poland and

the life of its favorite saint, Pope John Paul II. Krakow

is the city in which, as Weigel describes, “a boy grew

into a man, a bishop – and an apostle to the world”

In June, 1979 Pope John Paul II visited Poland

for the first time after being elected Pope in 1978.

Poland was governed by a communist government,

which was greatly under the influence of the Soviet

government. This visit was allowed by the communist

government only if Pope John Paul II agreed not to

mention communism or talk against the government.

The Pope kept his word about this. Instead of

talking about politics

he spoke of more basic things. . things about human

freedom, faith, hope and love. He brought these

together by speaking of the Holy Spirit given at first

Pentecost and conveyed to later generations in the

Sacrament of Confirmation.

“The sacrament of Confirmation is received by us only

once in our lifetime (just as Baptism is received only once). All of

life which opens up in view of this sacrament assumes the aspect

of a great and fundamental test: a test of faith and of character. “

Pope John Paul then described how the Polish

people were given the heroic example of St. Stanislaw,

who was martyred for his Catholic faith in the 11th

Century. He is the patron saint of the faith and

character of the Polish people. The Pope continued by

saying how each of us is involved with the moral order

of our society.

“In the final analysis the moral order is built up by

means of human beings. This order consists of a large number of

tests, each one a test of faith and of character. From every

victorious test the moral order is built up. From every failed test

moral disorder grows.”

Pope John Paul called the Polish people to

remain true to the gift of faith they have been given in

Baptism and Confirmation. They needed that faith in

Pentecost Sunday

Christ as the next decade would put them under

martial law and the great oppression by the

communist governments.

We know that the Holy Spirit indeed was

working on renewal and conversion. The Solidarity

movement was started in 1980 and within ten years

the communist government was gone from Poland.

History had changed for the better.

The need continues, however, for reverence

for God, respect for every person and responsibility for

our families and the community. This reverence,

respect and responsibility are vital for Poland and for

every country.

Pope John Paul II said, “Confirmation is the

sacrament which brings to birth within us a sharp sense of

responsibility for the church, for the gospel, for the cause of

Christ in the souls of human beings and for the salvation of the

world.”

In the Archdiocese of Vancouver,

Confirmation for adults will be conferred by

Archbishop Michael on Sunday, July 9 at 9:30 am at

Holy Rosary Cathedral. Please call the parish office or

check out the bulletin for more information.
