If you’ve ever been awake at four in the morning

these days you will hear the song of birds. They call you

to awake and ARISE; the earth that you thought was

dead with cold and darkness is indeed alive. The birds,

like the trees, grasses, and flowers testify to this life.

They sing out their song in a variety of ways, ARISE and

walk, ARISE and see the new life! All of creation is

helping us to realize what we are called to celebrate in

the Easter time, Jesus lives. This past Advent and Lent at

St. Gregory the Great along with many other parishes

throughout Brooklyn and Queens participated in the

ARISE program. This program was created to do just

this, call the members of this parish to ARISE and walk,

see and know Jesus the Lord in a deeper way. Maybe

you have not heard of it? It is a time set aside for people

in this parish to meet and speak, or just listen to the faith

journey of fellow parishioners.

In Advent, seventy parishioners signed up for this

journey and at Lent almost one hundred signed up. I

know that it might sound a bit frightening as all new

things do. I myself have never experienced something

like the ARISE program and so I was a bit nervous. The

book that comes along with the program allowed me and

all those who participated to be truly at ease. It had read-

ings of personal reflection and readings from Scripture

(usually the Gospel of the upcoming Sunday) along with

suggestions of how to reflect upon these readings. Parish-

ioners in my group said that they could not wait for the

next week’s meeting and when it ended they would truly

miss it.

Parishioners in the program gathered at a time that fit

into their schedule once a week for six weeks. Each

meeting ran for ninety minutes. Thoughts were shared

and friendships were formed. If you did not sign up for

either of these sessions you can still participate in the

next Advent and/or Lenten sessions in 2017-2018. Each

of the sessions is complete unto itself.

To reflect on one’s life and most especially on one’s

life in Christ is so greatly needed these days when life is

filled with distractions and a pace that is mind boggling.

Most often, from my experience, people don’t sit around

Cont.

and speak about their life, knowledge, thinking, and liv-

ing with the Lord. Here is a great opportunity, a special

time set apart to build up the body of Christ that is here at

St. Gregory the Great. It is a way to experience commu-

nity on a one to one basis. Christ comes to each of us and

sharing that self –knowledge with each other benefits

everyone present. When this then impacts how we treat

others through our actions and words interacting with the

people in the world, the work of God’s Kingdom is being

done. We are all just ordinary people who just speak

about our lives as we reflect on the readings in this book.

It is not difficult but it is truly astounding how powerful

this interaction has obviously been. Consider joining

ARISE this coming Advent and/or Lent and see how re-

flection on your faith journey can help deepen your rela-

tionship with the Lord and build the Kingdom of God in

our parish St. Gregory the Great.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

PASTOR’S DESK

5/21/17

“Yes, sir, I am the very John Curry.”

- Knock visionary in 1937

Years ago, Maureen Coyle, who was the librarian at

St. Gregory School, gave me a small book about the

apparition of Our Lady in Knock, Co. Mayo on the

evening of August 21,1879. Up until I received that

book, I really did not know much about what happened

in that poor village in “the forgotten West.” But after

returning to the rectory after working at the Festival

and being too keyed up to sleep, I read the book. I soon

found myself enthralled at how so many people wit-

nessed the silent presence of Our Lady with St. Joseph

and St. John the Evangelist in front of the gabble wall

of the parish church.

The youngest resident of the village to see the vision

was 5-year-old John Curry, who had to be lifted up by

his cousin to see over the hedgerow. He never forgot

what he witnessed.

As the years passed, John emigrated to New York

where he worked quietly as an orderly at the old City

Hospital on Welfare (now Roosevelt) Island. Bad

health led him to retire early and seek shelter with the

Little Sisters of the Poor in their home on 90th Street.

Everyone, it is said, gets 15 minutes of fame in his

or her lifetime, and John Curry’s came in 1937. That

year, a Commission was established in Ireland to study

the apparition in preparation for its 40th Anniversary.

Surviving visionaries were requested to give testi-

mony. John received a summons from the Tribunal

Cont.

of the Archdiocese of New York to give his testimony

on this side of the Atlantic. After testifying that he was

indeed the very John Curry who had been at Knock on

August 21,1879, he went on to describe in detail what

he had seen. His account was amazingly similar to the

accounts given by his neighbors in Knock. None the

less, when his 15 minutes of fame were over, he re-

turned to obscurity. When he passed away in 1943, he

was buried in an unmarked grave in a plot owned by

the Sisters in Resurrection Cemetery in Farmingdale.

Cardinal Dolan learned of John’s story and his fate

during a visit to Knock in 2015; and he arranged to

have John’s remains disinterred. Last Saturday, while

Pope Francis was in Fatima to mark the centennial of

the visions there, Cardinal Dolan celebrated a Requiem

Mass for John in St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral on Mott

Street. After Mass, John was accorded the singular

honor of being buried in the churchyard there. A hand-

some headstone now adorns his grave.

With the Festival on the horizon, I must hunt

around for Maureen’s book, and prepare myself to be

enthralled all over again.

The Most Reverend Thomas Daily, Bishop Emeritus of

Brooklyn died this past Monday, May 15th, at the

Bishop Mugavero Residence at Immaculate Concep-

tion Center. The Funeral Mass was held on Friday at

the Immaculate Conception Center’s main Chapel.

Please pray for the repose of his soul and for the con-

solation of his family and friends.
