MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
G eorge Weigel is a Catholic theologian and one of
the world’s foremost authorities on the Catholic
church. He has recently written a book called City of
Saints. It describes the city of Krakow in Poland and
the life of its favorite saint, Pope John Paul II. Krakow
is the city in which, as Weigel describes, “a boy grew
into a man, a bishop – and an apostle to the world”
In June, 1979 Pope John Paul II visited Poland
for the first time after being elected Pope in 1978.
Poland was governed by a communist government,
which was greatly under the influence of the Soviet
government. This visit was allowed by the communist
government only if Pope John Paul II agreed not to
mention communism or talk against the government.
The Pope kept his word about this. Instead of
talking about politics
he spoke of more basic things. . things about human
freedom, faith, hope and love. He brought these
together by speaking of the Holy Spirit given at first
Pentecost and conveyed to later generations in the
Sacrament of Confirmation.
“The sacrament of Confirmation is received by us only
once in our lifetime (just as Baptism is received only once). All of
life which opens up in view of this sacrament assumes the aspect
of a great and fundamental test: a test of faith and of character. “
Pope John Paul then described how the Polish
people were given the heroic example of St. Stanislaw,
who was martyred for his Catholic faith in the 11th
Century. He is the patron saint of the faith and
character of the Polish people. The Pope continued by
saying how each of us is involved with the moral order
of our society.
“In the final analysis the moral order is built up by
means of human beings. This order consists of a large number of
tests, each one a test of faith and of character. From every
victorious test the moral order is built up. From every failed test
moral disorder grows.”
Pope John Paul called the Polish people to
remain true to the gift of faith they have been given in
Baptism and Confirmation. They needed that faith in
Pentecost Sunday
Christ as the next decade would put them under
martial law and the great oppression by the
communist governments.
We know that the Holy Spirit indeed was
working on renewal and conversion. The Solidarity
movement was started in 1980 and within ten years
the communist government was gone from Poland.
History had changed for the better.
The need continues, however, for reverence
for God, respect for every person and responsibility for
our families and the community. This reverence,
respect and responsibility are vital for Poland and for
every country.
Pope John Paul II said, “Confirmation is the
sacrament which brings to birth within us a sharp sense of
responsibility for the church, for the gospel, for the cause of
Christ in the souls of human beings and for the salvation of the
world.”
In the Archdiocese of Vancouver,
Confirmation for adults will be conferred by
Archbishop Michael on Sunday, July 9 at 9:30 am at
Holy Rosary Cathedral. Please call the parish office or
check out the bulletin for more information.
