MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR

W orld Mission Sunday is celebrated on Sunday October 22 this year. Because of our baptism into the life and love of Jesus, each of

us shares in the mission of the Church. Jesus

described that mission of the Church as He

ascended into heaven: ”Go, therefore, make

disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of

the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

and teach them to observe all the commands I gave

you.” (Matthew 28.19)

The Canadian bishops have stated that “all

parishes should take seriously their

responsibility of all believers to spread the

Gospel.” They suggested that prayer and acts of

self-denial to deepen that prayer be offered for

the missionary work of God’s people.

As we appreciate the Church’s mission and

the call for each of us to be part of it, may we

financially support with generosity the World

Mission Day second collection. The Vatican has a

group that spreads out the proceeds of this

special collection to countries around the world

to support missionary work. Canada receives

some of this collection for our parishes in the

North and in isolated places.

St Paul encouraged Christians “to pray

that the Lord’s message may spread quickly, and

be received with honour.” (2 Thessalonians 3.1).

Our celebration of World Mission Sunday helps

us to do that. May we promote missions every

other day as well for God’s glory and the

salvation of every soul!

In our Catholic culture, October is the

month of the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin

Mary. We are encouraged as individuals, families

and parishes to pray in this way.

XXIX Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some people have asked why we offer the

Rosary near Mass time.

One reason, of course, is that there’s more

people that are in the cathedral around that time.

Praying together reminds us that God saves us

through our participation in the faith community

and not as independent free lancers.

Another reason is explained by Bishop

Peter J. Elliott, a very wise liturgical expert. He

explains that the Rosary is not primarily a Marian

devotion. He says “it is a Christ centered method

of meditation in the Marian form.” He further

explains that the Rosary takes us through the

saving mysteries ie the Incarnation, the Passion

and Resurrection of Jesus Christ with and

through His mother Mary.

Now in the Eucharist, the mysteries of joy,

sorrow and glory are made present in the Lord’s

sacrifice. So Bishop Elliott says that the Rosary in

itself “can be related to the Eucharist.” Our heart

is warmed up to cherish the service and sacrifice

of Jesus as we pray the Rosary together.

Verdad y amor son las dos columnas basilares de la vida de la comunidad cristiana. Por este motivo recordaba que « la Iglesia del amor es tambie n la Iglesia de la verdad, entendida ante todo como fidelidad al Evangelio encomendado por el Sen or Jesu s a los suyos [...]. Pero la familia de los hijos de Dios, para vivir en la unidad y en la paz, necesita alguien que la conserve en la verdad y la guí e con discernimiento sabio y autorizado: es lo que esta llamado a hacer el ministerio de los Apo stoles. Aquí llegamos a un punto importante. La Iglesia es totalmente del Espí ritu, pero tiene una estructura, la sucesio n aposto lica, a la que compete la responsabilidad de garantizar la permanencia de la Iglesia en la verdad donada por Cristo, de la que deriva tambie n la capacidad del amor [...]. Los Apo stoles y sus sucesores son, por consiguiente, los custodios y los testigos autorizados del depo sito de la verdad entregada a la Iglesia, como son tambie n los ministros de la caridad; estos dos aspectos van juntos [...]. La verdad y el amor son dos caras del mismo don que viene de Dios y, gracias al ministerio aposto lico, es custodiado en la Iglesia y llega a nosotros hasta la actualidad ». Por tanto, el Concilio Vaticano II subraya que « nuestro respeto y amor deben extenderse tambie n a aquellos que en materia social, polí tica e incluso religiosa sienten y actu an de modo diferente al nuestro; y cuanto ma s í ntimamente comprendamos con humanidad y amor su manera de pensar, ma s fa cilmente podremos dialogar con ellos». Pero, nos advierte el mismo Concilio, «este amor y esta benignidad no deben de ninguna manera hacernos indiferentes ante la verdad y el bien». - Benedicto XVI Fu tbol @ Our Lady of Sorrows – 555 Slocan St. Vancouver.
