Exercise Your “Will Power”

Express love and concern for your

parish. Remember Mother Cabrini

Church when making your estate plans.

Your support of Mother Cabrini Parish

. . .even in these trying times!

Remember Mother Cabrini Parish needs your

support now more than ever. These are trying times for all of us and our parish income has

been reduced to a trickle. Mother Cabrini Parish continues to have bills regarding salaries, basic

utilities, property insurances, etc. To the best of your ability, please remember

your parish. It would be most helpful if you would either mail your weekly

offertory gift or drop it in the door mail slot, located on the side porch of the

parish office. I thank all those parishioners who have been already supporting

their parish with their offerings since this crisis began!

Your pastor, Fr. Martin

SACRAMENT OF

PENANCE During this

Corona Virus time, we cannot

use the church confessional

because of it’s confined space.

However, the Sacrament of

Reconciliation is readily

available to all.

Please call the parish office or

the Friary to make an

appointment with either

Fr. Martin or Fr. Stephen to

schedule a time and location to

receive this beautiful

Sacrament of Peace.

Rembrandt: “The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee”

We Are Not Out of

the Woods Yet!!! Gathering for public worship at

Mother Cabrini Church. . .

Cabrini Parishioners. . . We recently

received from the Diocese the following

reminder to all pastors regarding the

return of public worship at our

churches.

Reminders:

- Sanitization of public spaces must occur after every liturgical gathering in our churches.

- Except in the case of children under 2 years of age and persons with health issues, masks

are to be worn as face covering the entire time parishioners attend Mass or any other

liturgical event in a parish, including sacramental Confession. They are not permitted to be

lowered at any time while in the church except to receive Holy Communion. It is not

acceptable for parishioners to lower their face masks while sitting in the pew.

- Social distancing is to be strictly enforced. The measure of 6 feet between individuals and

family groups is to be maintained while seated and moving. Groups are not to gather outside

of our churches for social time. Face masks should be worn until a person has left the church

property and distanced himself or herself from the other congregants. It should be

underscored that this is an act of charity, above all, not an

infringement upon a personal right.

Your diligence in adhering to these guidelines helps to prevent

further safety concerns for your parishioners and those in attendance

at weddings and funerals.

The protocol and directives are not optional.

❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖

Here at Mother Cabrini, we are observing all of the above mentioned protocols. The parish community expresses thanks and appreciation to all the various parishioners who

volunteer after each Mass as well as after funerals to help “sanitize” the church.

Thank you for your generosity of service! Fr. Martin

Don’t Forget, Mother Cabrini

Church Depends Upon the

Generosity of it’s Parishioners

to Pay the Bills!

Just a reminder. . . Even though the church is partially “re-opened”, the letter carrier

still comes to the Mother Cabrini Parish Office building six days a week. He/She

deposits our mail through the letter slot in the side porch door. In the bundle of mail

there is always a parish bill or two. The current situation has reduced our parish income

flow to a trickle which makes it very difficult to pay our regular occurring bills.

I am most grateful to those parishioners who are sending in or dropping off their

offertory donations to help keep Cabrini afloat. Some parishioners have been most

generous and have made four-figure donations to help us through this financially arid-

period. Praise Jesus!

If you are reading this “E-bulletin” and are sending us your parish support, THANK YOU

VERY MUCH! If you are reading this “E-Bulletin” and haven’t yet sent in your offertory

gifts, please consider doing so, either via USPS or through the side porch mail slot.

God bless all those Mother Cabrini Parishioners who support the parish. . . in good times

and in bad, in rain or shine, whether on vacation or in town, whether the doors are locked

or unlocked, or in times of health or in times of virus!

Thanks everybody!

Fr. Martin

Notes on the “Christus Consolator” or “The Divine Healer” Statue

The awe-inspiring "Christus Consolator" or "The Divine Healer" statue is located in the lobby of the

domed Billings Administration Building at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.

Lithographs that ran in the local newspapers the morning the Hospital opened show an open

rotunda, with octagonal design work in the center of the floor. Soon after, that center most spot was

covered over by a 10 1/2-foot Carrara marble Christ statue that has stood there ever since.

Donated in 1896 by William Wallace Spence, a Scottish immigrant and one of the wealthiest

businessmen in Baltimore, the statue is an exact copy of the Christus Consolator that Danish

sculptor Bertel Thorwaldsen executed for Copenhagen's Frue Kirke

(Church of Our Lady - Copenhagen Cathedral) in 1821.

Through the years, Hopkins employees have rubbed the statue's toes in passing, and patients often

pray before it. It has become a symbol of compassion and hope.

GET WELL WISHES FOR BISHOP GAINER. . .

Bishop Gainer underwent hip surgery on Wednesday, June 24th. The

surgery was successful and he is now in recuperation. I’m certain our

Bishop would be uplifted by our prayers and get well wishes. If you

14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

5 July 2020

Entrance Antiphon

Your merciful love, O God,

we have received in the midst of your temple.

Your praise, O God, like your name,

reaches the ends of the earth;

your right hand is filled with saving justice. Cf. Ps 48 (47):10-11

Gloria

(When it is prescribed, this hymn is either said or sung:)

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will.

We praise you,

we bless you,

we adore you,

we glorify you,

we give you thanks for your great glory,

Lord God, heavenly King,

O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us;

you take away the sins of the world,

receive our prayer;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father,

have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,

you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father.

Amen.

Collect

O God, who in the abasement of your Son

have raised up a fallen world,

fill your faithful with holy joy,

for on those you have rescued from slavery to sin

you bestow eternal gladness.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Zechariah 9:9-10

Thus says the Lord:

Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion,

shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem!

See, your king shall come to you;

a just savior is he,

meek, and riding on an ass,

on a colt, the foal of an ass.

He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim,

and the horse from Jerusalem;

the warrior’s bow shall be banished,

and he shall proclaim peace to the nations.

His dominion shall be from sea to sea,

and from the River to the ends of the earth.

Psalm 145

R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

or R. Alleluia.

I will extol you, O my God and King,

and I will bless your name forever and ever.

Every day will I bless you,

and I will praise your name forever and ever. R.

The Lord is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and of great kindness.

The Lord is good to all

and compassionate toward all his works. R.

Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord,

and let your faithful ones bless you.

Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom

and speak of your might. R.

The Lord is faithful in all his words

and holy in all his works.

The Lord lifts up all who are falling

and raises up all who are bowed down. R.

Romans 8:9, 11-13

Brothers and sisters: You are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in

you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from

the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his

Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the

flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,

you will live.

Gospel Acclamation

Alleluia, alleluia.

Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth;

you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. Cf. Mt 11:25

Alleluia, alleluia.

Matthew 11:25-30

At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden

these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your

gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no

one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from

me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden

light.”

Profession of Faith

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

(At the words that follow, up to and including and became man, all bow.)

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

(The Apostles’ Creed may be used instead of the Nicene Creed.)

The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer over the Offerings

May this oblation dedicated to your name

purify us, O Lord,

and day by day bring our conduct

closer to the life of heaven.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Communion Antiphon

Taste and see that the Lord is good;

blessed the man who seeks refuge in him. Ps 34 (33):9

OR

Come to me, all who labor and are burdened,

and I will refresh you, says the Lord. Mt 11:28

Prayer after Communion

Grant, we pray, O Lord,

that, having been replenished by such great gifts,

we may gain the prize of salvation

and never cease to praise you.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel,

defend us in battle.

Be our defense against the wickedness and snares

of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,

and do thou,

O Prince of the heavenly hosts,

by the power of God,

thrust into hell Satan,

and all the evil spirits,

who prowl about the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
