At the conclusion of the Gospel: Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord. HOMILY 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, All bow while saying: 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.

3 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. UNIVERSAL PRAYER Lord, hear our prayer.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL CAMPUS Twin Cities Hmong Catholic Community Located at 651 Virginia Street, Saint Paul Sunday Mass (Hmong and English) 9:00 a.m. U SUNDAY STEWARDSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS FOR NOVEMBER 25, 2018 Sunday Envelopes $ 5, Member EFT/Credit Card $ 3, Plate $ 6, Total Sunday Contributions $ 15, Saint Vincent de Paul Campus $ PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH: REMEMBERING A PATRIOTIC GENTLEMAN Even as a brand-new deacon thirty years ago, I quickly learned that it could be tricky if I were perceived to be opining on politics. Thankfully, I was ordained eleven days after the 1988 Presidential election and was never in the position to preach prior to a presidential election until Clearly, speaking about moral issues from the pulpit is not only a right, but I would characterize it as a duty but not surprisingly, people infer at times that what we say from the pulpit is intended as partisan politics. In truth, I have assiduously tried to dispel this false perception for the better part of three decades. As it turned out, the 1988 election of George H.W. Bush to the presidency was not particularly close Bush won by 7 million votes, but lost Minnesota by 6 percentage points. It was an electoral college landslide of I suspect part of the reason for the lopsided victory was his outstanding resume and compelling personal service. It certainly helped that the country had emerged much stronger following the two-term presidency of Ronald Reagan. By any metric, George H.W. Bush had impeccable preparation for holding the nation s highest office: U.S. Congressman, U.S. Representative in China, CIA Director, and two terms as Vice-President. But it is his demeanor that strikes me today as all too rare. No, I am not claiming that politics was pure thirty years ago, but the country did not seem to have the rancor that we have witnessed in the past decade. Bush won the majority of men (58%), women (51%), and won majorities in all four age groups. Of course, that all changed four years later, but I digress. He led his amazing life as a consummate gentleman every step of the way. President Bush and my own father share the same birth year and month just 18 days separate them. President Bush enlisted in the armed services at age 18. Here is a young man who it would appear could have easily gained an exemption. He was the son of a well-to-do investment banker, and a graduate of an elite prep school at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. He served as a pilot on aircraft carriers in the Pacific, flying some 58 combat missions, receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was shot down by the Japanese, yet was rescued. It was that moment, when he pondered why his life was spared, that he considered public service to his country. He would turn out to be the last combat veteran to be elected to the nation s highest office. Church blogger Rocco Palmo relates a wonderful story about the friendship that developed between then Vice-President Bush and the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Pio Laghi. U.S. Vice presidents had no dedicated residence, when they began to reside on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in That just happens to be directly across the street from the Papal Nunciature, located on Massachusetts Ave. Laghi began his diplomatic service to the United States in December 1980, just a month after Bush s election. Palmo relates that Bush and Laghi became tennis pals! Don t waste your time I failed to surface an image of them on the court, but I had heard of Archbishop Laghi s penchant for tennis. He sometimes volleyed with the seminarians at the North American College while later serving in Rome as the Prefect for Catholic Education. You do not often see a Cardinal donning the tennis gear, but he did! He was initially called an Apostolic Delegate, the term used when a country does not yet have full diplomatic relations. Formal U.S. and Holy See diplomatic relations were established under President Reagan in 1984 (see photo), and Vice-President Bush had a front row seat to that development. Another memorable aspect during the presidency of George H.W. Bush

5 was the fall of the Berlin Wall, coming just six months after my ordination. My whole life had been lived within the context of the Cold War. While I am not quite old enough to recall school drills to take shelter from the bombs, I certainly recall the images of the May Day Military Parades in Moscow, with its show of force. To see the Berlin Wall come down was the fruit of the hopes and dreams of millions of people and was facilitated by President Reagan, the Solidarity movement in Poland, Pope John Paul II, etc. and President Bush was able to follow that work with his own shrewd diplomacy with President Gorbachev of Russia. Finally, I would be remiss in failing to mention the Americans with Disabilities Act that he signed into law in How many even think about life without handicapped parking spaces, automatic door openers in public buildings, etc. today? We all take it for granted, but that all came to fruition with President Bush s support. Unquestionably, President Bush was part of the greatest generation, a unique generation that saw it all, and lived through such troubled times, as well as incredible growth following World War II. They occupied a unique place in the history of our nation, and we pause to entrust President Bush s soul to the loving arms of almighty God and thank him for his tremendous service to this nation. Feeling in the dark lately? Well, turns out you have good reasons. According to the U of M St. Paul Campus Climate Observatory, the three-month period from September-November was the least sunny in 35 years. Only 18 days in that three-month period were clear (and just two all of November). Twice as many days (40) were cloudy. For reasons still inexplicable today, as a kid I was ambivalent about Pontius Pilate. I felt sorry for him, believing him to be caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place with respect to adjudicating the case of Jesus. Archeologists deciphered Pilate s name on a 2000-year-old ring that had been discovered during the excavation of Herodium, an ancient fortress south of Bethlehem. Prefect of Judea from A.D., Pilate was removed in disgrace following his execution of men without proper trial. Had I known that back then As we approach the end of the calendar year, I wish to encourage your charitable giving to the parish. While I was grateful that Sunday stewardship increased slightly in from the previous year, other sources of income decreased (e.g. investment, estate income), and expenses were higher last year, due to some unplanned city assessments for Selby Ave., etc. Please see the notice on page 7 for more information on charitable giving. Thank you for your support! Better late than never. It only took seven years, but significant nonetheless, EWTN has won its lawsuit over the issue of the Health and Human Services (HHS) contraceptive mandate. The mandate had stated that employer-provided health insurance plans were required to cover certain preventative services, a euphemism for contraception, including abortifacients and sterilization procedures. Next weekend, we will take up our Christmas Flower Offering to help defray costs associated with preparing our Church. You are invited to write the names of those for whom you wish to pray (in loving memory or in honor of) on the special envelopes in the pews and return them next weekend. Thank you for your support.

7 Page 7 VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES The man who was not John Ireland... Hansen writes that with the deaths of Masqueray in 1917 and Ireland in 1918, the new Cathedral of St. Paul had lost both its godparents.... There were many who lamented that they would not enjoy the realization of their dreams and dedications. And there was growing concern: Would the new Ordinary share the energetic Ireland s commitment to the project? The new ordinary, Archbishop Austin Dowling, standing in the shadow of John Ireland, faced that question from the very first. Dowling was a likeable man, but to many, he appeared a little reserved and bookish and found difficulty being accepted. The major obstacle to acceptance was nothing more than the simple fact that he was not John Ireland. Dowling s reserved personality led many to fear that the completion of the Cathedral might be delayed or postponed. But the fear was shortlived. Dowling took up the completion and embellishment of the interior of the Cathedral with studied energy and with very special qualifications: his own highly developed aesthetic sense and demanding artistic standards. Scores of letters in the archives witness his dedication to the perfection of every detail, every design. Nothing passed without first passing his scrutiny. As the work developed, it became clear to clergy and laity, Just as the exterior was the result of John Ireland s vison, the interior was the fruit of Austin Dowling s flawless artistic instinct, which suffused the daunting space of nave, transepts and dome with warmth and serenity. At Dowling s side carrying out the work of completion on a day-to-day basis was Monsignor Lawrence Ryan, appointed rector of the Cathedral in A former chaplain of the National Guard, he approached his work with martial spirit. He added his own artistic sensibility and dedication to detail that characterized Dowling s approach to the daunting work before him. Lawrence Ryan s memoir, Historical Sketch of the St. Paul Cathedral, , is a major primary source for the history of the completion of both the exterior and the interior of the Cathedral. Excerpts from An Architectural Biography, by Eric Hansen. Note: The year 1916 is titled the year of three rectors. In May, 1916, Msgr. John J. Lawler, the first rector of the Cathedral, was installed as Bishop of Lead, South Dakota. His Successor, Thomas J. Gibbons, formerly of St. Luke s Church in Saint Paul, died in July, 1916, after which Lawrence Ryan was appointed rector in August, ACSP. YEAR-END CHARITABLE GIVING Stewardship Opportunity: Donors who are 70 1/2 years old have until December 31, 2018 to direct a Required Minimum Distribution out of their IRA account. By giving directly to a charity it is possible to avoid taxes on the donated amount. Would you consider donating to the Cathedral of St Paul through your RMD? Any amount to support the parish is greatly appreciated, as the expense for upkeep is significant. Please talk to your tax professional for complete details. Thank You in advance for your prayerful consideration. May God bless you for your generosity. RITES BAPTISM We welcome those who have been newly baptized. Please pray for them as they continue to grow in Christ. MARRIAGE Please join us in praying for all couples preparing for the sacrament of Matrimony.
