The reading from Genesis promises a final triumph over the power of sin and a return to a new creation. The reading from Second Corinthians promises that all who follow Christ will have to struggle. It also promises, however, that we can persevere if we but recognize that Christ is within us, renewing us daily, and giving us the courage and the strength we need to endure. The Gospel promises that doing God s will makes us family with Jesus, who forgives all sin and triumphs over evil. Today might be a good day for us to make some promises as well. We can promise to stop kidding ourselves about our own tendencies to selfishness and sin. We can promise ourselves to believe really believe that while we are not sinless, we are forgiven. We can promise ourselves to combat evil and sin by acting as sisters and brothers not only to the Lord, but to one another as well. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

CRS aids the poor by first providing direct assistance where needed, and then encouraging these people to help with their own development. Peter's Pence Collection gives us an opportunity to be a witness of charity to our brothers and sisters around the world. It promotes and supports the works of our Holy Father, enabling him to respond with emergency financial assistance to victims of war, natural disasters, and others most in need of assistance.

Thank you to the members of the parish staff and all the others in the parish who helped plan and make Last Sunday's celebration honoring me at my retirement. It was a wonderful day. My sisters and brother and their spouses all enjoyed the celebration as well. We spent good time together over the weekend, including at the celebration. The dedication of the garden and statue of the Sacred Heart and the dedication of the Well for Life in Uganda are wonderful ways to recognize my service here at San Francisco Solano. So many of you in the parish have told me of your appreciation for my homilies and other aspects of my service here in my three years here. I appreciate that affirmation. I ask you to keep me in your prayers in my final month here in the parish and as I go into other ministry in my retirement Thank you again, Msgr.

7 Adult Catholics Growing in Faith Happy new feast day: Mary, Mother of the Church On 8 March this year Pope Francis initiated a new feast to honor the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. The feast which will be observed on the Monday after Pentecost Sunday will honor Mary as Mother of the Church. Monday 21 May 2018 was the first observance of this feast in the Catholic Church. The number of titles given to Mary in the Roman Catholic Church almost goes beyond counting. Some, like Mother of God (Greek: theotokos) are extremely ancient, while others like Mother of the Church seem more recent. In a sense, Mary, Mother of the Church is a title both ancient and recent. Looking back, we find that mention of Mary, Mother of the Church is rare in Catholic history. In 1895, Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Adjutricem populi ( Helper of the People ) referred to Mary as Mother of the Church and Queen of the Apostles. But we rarely hear mention of that title again until the Second Vatican Council. There, it appears in the Vatican II document Lumen Gentium (LG) (the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, 21 November 1964). After dealing with the church from almost every aspect, the bishops at the Council decided to add a chapter (VIII) on Our Lady. Although the Council does not give him credit, the German theologian Hugo Rahner in 1944 showed that Ambrose (ca ), bishop of Milan and a Church Father, saw in Mary a type/image of the church. The Council refers to Ambrose and this teaching and develops it. The title Mary, Mother of the Church, as understood by Vatican II, is extremely important. The church at the same Council committed itself, among other things, to ecumenism to the work of restoring unity to Christians. The Council was aware that there have been and continue to be different attitudes towards Mary among Christians. Protestant Christians have sometimes disapproved of Marian devotion, seeing it as taking away from the unique role of Christ. Some have even seen the devotion as idolatrous. Vatican II was aware not only of the deep importance of devotion to Mary, but also aware of some of the excesses that had grown up over the centuries. The Council strongly urges theologians and preachers to be careful to refrain as much from all false exaggeration as from too summary an attitude in considering the special dignity of the Mother of God (LG par. 67). It reminds the faithful that true devotion consists neither in sterile or transitory affection, nor in a certain vain credulity, but proceeds from true faith. (ibid.) This title recognizes that faith, and recognizes Mary as the mother of all Christians. Her maternal embrace enfolds all under mantel. Modern popes have used the term repeatedly; since 1964, the title Mary, Mother of the Church has been used by every pope since Pope John XXIII. But it wasn t until now, with this new feast, that Pope Francis has given it expression in the devotional life of the church. It would be easy to believe that Pope Francis has just added another Marian feast to a liturgical calendar that is perhaps already overburdened with such feasts (a cursory reading of the liturgical calendar shows 15 Marian feasts a year). However, that is not the case. In fact, by instituting this feast, Pope Francis has countered a certain centrifugal force in Catholic Marian devotion. This centrifugal force can unmoor Mary from Christ, placing emphasis on specific geographical locations, acculturations, etc., which have at times occurred. Mary, Mother of the Church focuses attention on Mary and her role within the church (very similar to the theology of Ambrose) and links her closely indeed, inseparably to Christ. *by Elias D.

9 Around the Diocese The award-winning Bigotry, Bullying & Bravery program, created by the Interfaith Council of Greater Rancho Santa Margarita, will present an adult forum THE NEXT STEP on the continuing problems in Orange County of bigoted threats against young people because of their faith, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic standing, learning and physical challenges, and much more.

Parents, educators, faith leaders, civic leaders, and everyone interested in making a safer environment for our youth are invited to participate in a panel discussion led by experts in behavioral science and psychology, law and school safety resources.
