SINKING FEAR

by Dr. Scott Hahn St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology

How do we find God in the storms and struggles of our lives,

in the trials we encounter in trying to do His will?

God commands Elijah in today’s First Reading to stand on the mountain and await His passing by. And in the Gospel, Jesus makes the disciples set out across the waters to meet Him.

In each case, the Lord makes himself present amid frightening tumult - heavy winds and high waves, fire and

earthquakes.

Elijah hides his face. Perhaps he remembers Moses, who met God on the same mountain, also amid fire, thunder, and smoke (see Deuteronomy 4:10-15; Exodus 19:17-19). God told Moses no one could see His face and live, and He sheltered Moses in the hollow of a rock, as He shelters Elijah

in a cave (see Exodus 33:18-23).

The disciples, likewise, are too terrified to look on the face of God. Today’s Gospel is a revelation of Jesus’ divine identity. Only God treads across the crest of the sea (see Job 9:8) and rules the raging waters (see Psalm 89:9-10). And the words of assurance that Jesus speaks - “It is I” - are those God used to identify himself to Moses (see Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 43:10).

Even Peter is too overcome by fear to imitate his Lord. His fears, Jesus tells him, are a sign of his lack of faith. And so it often is with us. Our fears make us doubt, make it hard to see His glory dwelling in our midst.

Yet, we should know, as we sing in today’s Psalm, that His salvation is near to those who hope in Him. By faith we should know, as Paul asserts in today’s Epistle, that we are

heirs to the promises made to His children, Israel.

We must trust that He whispers to us in the trials of our lives - that He who has called us to walk along the way of His steps, will save us whenever we begin to sink.

W INSTALLATION CEREMONY

Whenever one of the priests of the diocese is assigned to a new parish, the bishop or his representative formally installs the new pastor in a special ceremony celebrated during Sunday Mass.

The installation of a new pastor begins at the door of the church, where the pastor takes possession of his new parish by receiving the keys of the church and the church seal from the bishop or his representative.

Then the new pastor is formally introduced to his pastoral staff, to the pastoral council and to the congregation.

After the homily, the new pastor goes to the altar and with his hand on the Book of the Gospels makes the Profession of Faith before the bishop or his representative and the people of the parish, followed by the Oath of Fidelity, both which he then signs and seals.

The installation ceremony for a pastor is important to the pastor and to the church. It is a way of passing the mantel from the old pastor to the new pastor. It is a way for the church to get behind the pastor and say, "we are going to follow your leadership." It is a time for the pastor to say, "I am going to love you and lead you."

With joy and gratitude to God, St. Patrick Catholic Church celebrates today the installation of Father Lucas Laborde, Priest of the Society of St. John as our new Pastor. Fr. John Patrick Riley, from St. Andre Bessette Parish, presided on behalf of Archbishop Alexander K. Sample.

WELCOME BACK FATHER LUCAS LABORDE!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

The Pastoral Council and the members of St. Patrick

Catholic Church and the Portland Faith Community welcome back Father Lucas Laborde as our Pastor. Our prayers and best wishes to

you, Father Lucas, for a successful mission here in

our parish and in the hopes that you will share some of your newfound knowledge of the past two years with

we sheep in your care.
