Spring Training conjures up many images, though not usually spiritual ones. This year, the first hint of baseball coincides with the First Sunday of Lent, and it is not far-fetched to think of Lent as Spring Training for the soul, a retreat of sorts. To some extent the corporate world has taken over the word retreat, in ways quite foreign to how we use it in the Church. Corporate retreats are often held at swanky resorts and conference centers boasting gourmet cuisine and fourstar amenities. The whole idea is to step aside from the hustle and bustle of the corporate world for a chance to re-group, re-focus and re-connect with colleagues. This is a noble purpose, within reasonable limits. But each year the Church gives us an opportunity to have our own retreat right in the privacy of our own homes. Lent is the Catholic Church s annual retreat, and it does not cost us a dime. People know in their own hearts that we need such a time. Why else did so many receive ashes this past Wednesday? The earliest mention of Lent originates from the first Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. That Council is best known of course for the profession of faith the Nicene Creed which is still recited each Sunday seventeen centuries later. But in what appears almost as an afterthought in an obscure Canon pertaining to bishops Synods, a very significant detail is added: The synods shall be held at the following times: one before Lent, so that, all pettiness being set aside, the gift offered to God may be unblemished; the second after the season of autumn. I get a kick out of seeing pettiness in an ecumenical council document human nature has not changed since the 4 th century, has it? One of my professors at the Gregorian University in Rome, Fr. Norman Tanner, S.J. (an expert on ecumenical councils) wrote about this first appearance of Lent: The word used for Lent in this fifth canon is tessarakonta (in Greek), which means forty. For the first time in recorded history, we have mention of this period of preparation for Easter as lasting forty days. The Italians call the season Quaresima, deriving from the number forty; Latin scholars prefer Quadragesima, while Spanish speakers use the term Cuaresma. The British Fr. Tanner also notes (I hope with some pride) that our English term Lent comes from an early English word that essentially means lengthen, as the days are lengthening as spring approaches. The theologian Irenaeus wrote a letter to Pope Victor in 195 A.D., in which he discussed not only the divergent dates for Easter between East and West, but other customs. He elaborated: The dispute is not only about the day, but also about the actual character of the fast. Some think that they ought to fast for one day, some for two, others for still more; some make their day last 40 hours on end. (quoted in Eusebius, History of the Church, V, 24) Just as by now we are longing for warmer weather, so too people are hungering for authenticity. We know that we cannot hide from our sinfulness. The Maronite Catholics (from Lebanon) beat us all to the punch, as their Lenten season began the Monday before Ash Wednesday. They belong to a different rite within the Church, but are every bit as Catholic as are we Latin-rite Catholics. Conversely, Milan, Italy has preserved its own distinctive rite too, named after Saint Ambrose. But they do not observe the custom of Ash Wednesday in the Ambrosian Rite. Personally, I think I d feel a bit slighted without it. I have as many memories of Ash Wednesday as

5 Page 5 Holy Week in some respects. We mark sacred time in a tangible way, and cannot escape our finitude on this earth, no matter how we try. Nor can we escape our sinfulness either. Six years ago, while speaking about confession at a Sunday Angelus, Pope Benedict XVI remarked: The sins we commit distance us from God and, if not humbly confessed with trust in divine mercy, they go so far as to produce the death of the soul. (15 Feb. 2009) Christ came to bring life to our souls, but we have some necessary spiritual housekeeping to do in order to be properly disposed to receive His love and grace. I hope and pray that this season of Lent will be productive and rewarding, and to that end I encourage everyone to challenge themselves by means of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. I am especially excited to be leading a Lenten pilgrimage to Italy in honor of our centennial, even if it means No Gelato this year! Buckle up it s a long season. May this retreat produce a real change of heart, and lasting spiritual fruit. By the way, fruit does not count as a dessert in my Lenten world! Prior to the induction of its new members, the College of Cardinals gathered to discuss the reform of the Roman Curia. From multiple pontifical councils, two new congregations could be formed; one would be responsible for the laity and family life; the other would focus on works of charity, justice, and peace. It will streamline operations as well as give greater prominence to matters pertaining to laity, family life and works of charity. Did you know that on February 21, 1921, the corner of Summit Ave. and 3 rd St. (now Kellogg Blvd.) became the site of Minnesota s first School Safety Patrol? It was the brainchild of Sister Carmela Hanggi, CSJ, from our very own Cathedral Grade School. Within a year, 90 schools had followed suit. While in sixth grade, I myself was a proud member of the Nativity School Patrol! Last year s feel good story about a Chicago inner-city baseball team that won the U.S. Championship at the Little League World Series in Williamsport ended with a thud. The title was stripped because the team consisted of several ineligible players who lived outside the geographic boundaries. They even had an audience with President Obama in the Oval Office. It is sad that the adults, who bear 100% responsibility for this cheating, inflict this disappointment on 12 year-olds. Speaking of cheating Brian Williams will pay a stiff price (six months pay) for his suspension from NBC News following allegations that he misrepresented significant details about his experience while covering the war in Iraq in Oh, what a tangled web we weave; when first we practice to deceive. (Sir Walter Scott, Marmion). Sincerely in Christ, Fr. John L. Ubel, Rector DAILY MASS MOVED TO CANA CHAPEL. Daily Mass will move to the Cana Chapel during the Marble Restoration Project in the Sanctuary. This portion of the project should span over approximately a three week time period. Sunday Masses will be held in the main church as usual. Thank you for your patience we are certain the finished product will be worth the wait.

Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route, but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently found in almost every church. Similarly, the 150 Hail Marys that were recited for the rosary were an adaptation of the medieval monastic practice of reciting the 150 Psalms in the Psalter. USCCB CATHEDRAL NEWS BABY BOTTLE CHANGE FOR LIFE CAMPAIGN If you forgot to return your baby bottle for the University and Highland LifeCare Center last week, you can give it to an usher or leave it at the Welcome Center downstairs.
