19th Sunday in Ordinary TimePastor’s Corner

Since the 7th century, stained glass has been used not only to beautify the church’s building, but also to illustrate

the story of our faith. Some illustrate the Bible stories while others, the life of the Saints.

Every time I enter Saint Matthew Catholic Church, the few stained glass windows that have already been installed remind me of some very important Bible stories. The one on the top of the altar reminds me of this beautiful passage from the Gospel of John: “When [Jesus] had washed their feet

and put his garments back on and reclined at the table again, he said to them…, I have given you a model to follow, so that

as I have done for you, you should also do” (John 13:12-15). The one on the right and the left side of the altar depict the whole story of the Holy family; from the announcement of the birth of Jesus to their fleeing to Egypt. Then the Gospel writers, so far we have Matthew and John with the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick under Matthew and the creation scene under John.

Since we have already spoken about Matthew, let us say something about John. I have already mentioned that each evangelist has a symbol. Matthew has a man/angel, Mark a lion, Luke an ox, and John an eagle. These symbols are found more than once in the Bible, Ezekiel 1: 1-14;10: 1 22 and Revelation 4:5-11.

John, the brother of James is one of the evangelist and also an apostle. He was the son of Zebedee and is often referred to as the beloved disciple. He was the one to whom Jesus entrusted his mother to. From the Cross Jesus said to Mary, “woman,

behold your son! And to the disciple, behold your mother” (John 19:26-27).

We thank everyone who has sponsored a stained glass, but in a special way, we want to thank Bob and Mary Tardif who sponsored our most recent stained glass, Saint John in loving memory of their parents, the Shuchart and Tardif family.
