ADORATION CHAPEL “Every Holy Mass makes present in an unbloody manner the
unique and perfect sacrifice offered by Christ on the tree of the
cross in which Mary participated joined in spirit with her suffer-
ing Son lovingly consenting to His sacrifice and offering her own
sorrow to the Father (e.f. Luman Gentium, no. 58). Therefore,
when we celebrate the Eucharist, the memorial of Christ’s Pass-
over, the memory of His Mother’s suffering is also made alive
and present, this Mother, who, as an unsurpassable model, teaches
the faithful to unite themselves more intimately to the sacrifice of
her Son, the one Redeemer. Through spiritual communion with
the sorrowful Mother of God, believers share in a special way in
the paschal mystery and are opened to this extraordinary action of
the Holy Spirit that produces a supernatural joy because of com-
munion with the glorious Christ on the example of the joy granted
to Mary in the glory of heaven as the first person to share in the
fruits of redemption.”
~St. Pope John Paul II, 19th Intl. Marian Congress

PASTOR’S COLUMN Sarah Hewit Frier was the niece of Father Augustine Hewit,
C.S.P., associate founder, in 1858, of the famous American reli-
gious order, the Paulist Fathers. Through her Paulist connection,
she became acquainted, as a girl, with the great American con-
vert, journalist and philosopher, Orestes A. Brownson. But apart
from having famous friends and family, Sarah achieved a bit of
glory on her own as the author of a catchy little epigram.
A few years before her death in 1953 she wrote these wise
and witty lines which all of us would do well to remember and act
on:
Every day I pass the church,
I stop and make a visit,
For fear that when I’m carried there
The Lord will say, “Who is it?”
“…Remember your last days, set enmity aside; remember death
and decay and cease from sin!” (Sirach 28:6 - Today’s first read-
ing)
If your day is hemmed with prayer, it is less likely to unravel.
~Rev. Edward J Smith
