Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time What must it have been like for that hearing-and-speech-impaired man, isolated by the profound challenges of his disability, to be drawn away from the crowd by The Heal-er? Trembling, he felt Jesus’ fingers in his ears. He knew Jesus was expelling the Evil One when he spat, and then his fingers were on his tongue! Immediately, the beauty of language was opened to him, and the first words he heard were Be Opened. Be Opened. What a perfect introduction to the hearing life. Be Opened, said our first-grade teachers, who were opening our eyes to the magic of letters that formed words,

that formed sentences, that formed the books that opened our eyes to the world. Be Opened, said our blessed teachers who introduced us to Jesus all those years ago, and the life-giving Good News came pouring into our hearts. Be Opened, said our parents, trying to lead us in the way that we should go. Be Opened, we say to someone who just won’t hear our point of view. Be Opened, they say right back to us. Imagine that the very first words you heard in your life were Be Opened. And, of course, you would never forget The Man who spoke those words to you. How blest was he whose ears were opened by Jesus. His speaking came next, and oh, what words he had to tell! And shouldn’t that be every one of us, so in love with Jesus that our tongues are opened? Hearing and speaking, of course, go hand in hand. As Dennis Hamm, SJ, reminds us, the more attentively we hear the Gospel, the better we can speak it.

St. Francis Xavier Cabrini Statue Installed on September 2nd

From the vision and inspiration of Bob Brockish and Father Bob Amundsen, the parish commissioned an 8’ bronze statue of Mother Cabrini for our parish. The statue was installed at our church on September 2nd. The parish worked with the National Sculptors Guild in Loveland, Co., and commissioned local artist Gary Alsum. St. Francis Xavier Cabrini and her Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus were sent to the United States in 1889 to minister to the many Italians who had come here. She founded some 67 institutions around the country in-cluding the Queen of Heaven Orphanage for girls at 4825 Fed-eral Blvd in Denver in 1902. Her last trip to Colorado was in 1912. She died in 1917. In order to help feed her orphans, Mother Cabrini would visit farms outside of Denver. She fre-quented the area here in Lafayette, on the very land where our current church is located. When she visited, she sometimes stayed overnight at the farms. Mother Cabrini was canonized in 1946, the first Amer-ican saint. She is the patron saint of immigrants and hospital administrators, and her feast day is November 13th. On March 10, 2020 the Colorado Legislature passed

Frances Xavier Cabrini House Bill 20-1031. On Friday March 20, 2020 Colorado Gover-nor Jared Polis signed HB 1031 into law, establishing Frances Xavier Cabrini Day as a Colorado State Holiday. The first paid state holiday in the nation that recognizes a wom-an, Cabrini Day will be observed in Colorado annually on the 1st Monday in October (Oct. 4 in 2021 and Oct. 3 in 2022). This monument will serve as a memorial and remembrance of her work and min-istry during her life. It is our hope that parishioners, community members and visitors, will be reminded of her kindness and determination in ministering to those in her care.

St. Francis Xavier Cabrini….pray for us!

Vigesimotercer Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario ¿Qué debe haber sentido aquel hombre sordomudo, aislado a causa de los tremendos retos de su incapacidad, cuando El Sanador lo llamó de entre la multitud? Temblando, sin-tió los dedos de Jesús en sus oídos. ¡Sabía que Jesús estaba expulsando al Maligno cuando escupió, y luego le puso los dedos en la lengua! Inmediatamente, se le abrió la belleza del lenguaje y las primeras palabras que escuchó fueron Ábrete. Ábrete. Que introducción tan perfecta al mundo de oír. Ábrete, nos decían nuestros

profesores de primer grado, mientras que abrían nuestros ojos a la magia de las letras que formaban palabras, que formaban oraciones, que formaban libros que abrían nuestros ojos al mundo. Ábrete, nos decían nuestros bendecidos profesores cuando nos enseñaban a Jesús hace ya tantos años, así como las vivificantes Buenas Nuevas que fluían a nuestros corazones. Ábrete, decían nuestros padres, tratando de guiarnos en el camino que deberíamos seguir. Ábrete, le decimos a alguien que simplemente no quiere oír nuestro punto de vista. Ábrete nos responden ellos a nosotros. Imagínate que las primeras palabras que oíste en tu vida fueron Ábrete. Y, por supuesto, nunca olvi-darías al Hombre que te las dijo. Cuán bienaventurado fue aquel cuyos oídos fueron abiertos por Jesús. Su habla vino después, y oh, ¡que palabras tenía que decir! ¿Y que no deberíamos estar todos así, tan enamo-rados de Jesús que nuestras lenguas se abran? Oír y hablar, por supuesto, van de la mano. Y como nos re-cuerda Dennis Hamm SJ, cuanto más atentos escuchemos el Evangelio, mejor podremos hablarlo.
