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. 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. NIVERSAL PRAYER. Lord, hear our prayer Stand

So valuable were his insights, he was offered a job. When given his introductory tour, he began to cry while hugging a giant fermentation vessel, exclaiming Honey, I m home! He had landed, so to speak, his dream job. He demurred when presented with his first paycheck. No, sir, I couldn t absolutely not not for this! While humorous, it highlighted a valid point channeling someone s passion into their work is a really good idea! How many people are able to live their passion as their chosen path each and every day? I too recall receiving my first paycheck as a newly ordained priest 29 years ago. I did a little research and discovered that the base salary for a rookie priest in 1989 was barely above minimum wage ($3.35 per hour), though it also included room, board and a $3,700 car allowance. Nevertheless, even though the amount was quite modest, it still felt awkward to be paid for exercising ministry. Sure, there are temporal realities to consider, and priests need to pay bills, just like anyone else! In my 29 years (reached today, in fact!) as a priest, I have never seen my vocation as merely a job. This is not to say that there have not been difficult days, long hours, or other aspects that seem like work. Not at all there certainly have been. However, it is the fundamental orientation of ministry in the Church that has framed my life. This coming Tuesday marks my 20,000th day on earth (not that I m counting!), more than half of which have been as a priest. Each year at the ordination Mass, we priests are brought back to our own special day, much as a married couple would when attending a wedding. How can one not reminisce? But more than nostalgic, it is a moment for re-commitment. No vocation breathes from the air of a distant memory. Our vocations must be animated freshly each and every time we observe an anniversary. The priesthood is the best way I know to live my Catholic faith, a faith I desire to nourish, promote and provide to others. One of the best definitions of a sacrament I ever saw was quite likely the least theological one. It referenced the famous fresco of the Sistine Chapel, The Creation of Adam. Adam holds out his left hand to God, appearing to be rather limp and lifeless in its position. Conversely, God actively appears to extend his right index finger to Adam. Michelangelo s masterpiece captures the moment right before the fingers touch, a brilliant artistic motif. The sacraments become for us the space between the fingers. Christ reaches out to us in the sacraments if we merely extend our hands in receptivity. Bringing the sacraments to the People of God has always been and ought to remain the fundamental duty of each and every priest. Everything else we do (and many items cross our desks each day) must be subservient to the celebration of the sacraments. Despite the uncertainties of life, both in society and even to an extent within the Church, we proceed with conviction that the priesthood matters precisely because God s people matter. Though I have never felt called to military service as a chaplain, I admire our Catholic military chaplains who have accompanied soldiers on the harrowing journey to war. I also applaud our hospital chaplains who labor tirelessly, often in extremely stressful situations, and those who serve in the missions, teach our youth and form our future priests. We live our priesthood in many and varied circumstances. Traditional theology holds that once ordained, a man is a priest forever in the Order of Melchizedek. Tu es sacerdos secundum ordinem Melchisedech (Ps. 110, 4; cf. Hebr. 5, 6).

5 Every day, I vest before the image in our sacristy window (Conrad Pickel Studios, 1958) printed on today s cover. I am most grateful to Celeste Raspanti for providing me with archival information of this stunning window in which Christ the High Priest is depicted as the mediator between God and humanity, foreshadowed in the mysterious figure of the priest Melchizedek from the Old Testament. He holds a loaf of bread and is crowned, signifying his mysterious royal ancestry. Opposite Melchizedek is a priest of the New Covenant, offering the chalice at Mass. God the Father is shown in the heavenly glory (adoring angels, censor--symbols of adoration) and with the symbols of the Holy Trinity (dove within a triangle). Christ s outstretched arms express the idea that he is accepting the sacrifice that he offered for the our redemption. The intensity of the red hues was achieved by adding gold to the glass in its liquid state. Our Archival notes indicate that the window was a gift from Archbishop William Brady himself, whose Coat of Arms and Brady Family Crest are barely visible in the corner opposite the Archdiocesan Crest. I pray that my initial reaction 29 years ago upon receiving that first check remains ever vivid. I am deeply blessed to live my passion every day. God willing, may it remain that way. Fr. Andrew Jaspers is a gifted and respected retreat and spiritual director. Recognizing that gift, he will move from part-time to fulltime at Saint John Vianney Seminary beginning later in June. I am especially grateful for his care of the Cathedral Young adults group during this past year and I hope you can stop by at Coffee and Donuts next Sunday to offer your thanks as well. Cardinal Timothy Dolan issued a statement expressing deep appreciation upon learning that the Trump Administration will be issuing new regulations to separate abortion from the federal Title X family planning program. Dolan said: Abortion always takes the life of a child and often harms the mother, her surviving children, and other family and friends as well. Most Americans recognize that abortion is distinct from family planning and has no place in a taxpayer-funded family planning program. One of our gifted lectors was recently featured on the cover of the Catholic Studies magazine at ST. Anne Morath teaches Humane Letters at Trinity School. Teaching is a wonderful, though often exhausting vocation. Teachers like Anne deserve our admiration as another academic year draws to a close. May all our students in the parish persevere you re almost there! One of our esteemed altar servers, Charlie DeRueil, has been accepted into Saint John Vianney Seminary and I could not be happier. He is an outstanding young man who may be assured of our prayers as he continues his discernment of God s will. I do not think he is the only server discerning a vocation he may soon have company! Speaking of altar servers Thomas DeWitt (master of the perfectly lit charcoal before Mass!) earned a Summa Cum Laude on the National Latin exam for 9th graders. Just for you Thomas Gratulationes! Mirabile visu, profectu tuo laetamur. In futuro tibi prosperitatem habeas, fortasse etiam in seminario? Sincerely in Christ, Fr.

7 Page 7 VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES The Maid of Orleans... In 1899, the Archbishop of Orleans invited the Archbishop of St. Paul, to speak at an historic occasion, the anniversary of the deliverance of the city by Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans. Ireland was selected for the honor by the Archbishop who admired the fervid, virile eloquence of the Archbishop of St. Paul. We know that he, once a soldier himself, will do ample justice to the militant Maid of Orleans on the 470 th anniversary of the victorious battle for Rouen. It was a memorable occasion: there was a twenty-one gun salute and the ringing of bells throughout the city. Five thousand of the social and intellectual elite of France heard the Archbishop of St. Paul speak. This event was just the beginning of what was called a triumphal tour through France for Archbishop John Ireland. Wherever he spoke of the Maid of Orleans, he was received with compliments: Archbishop Ireland has a wealth of language and a variety of correctness in the use of expressions which even many French orators do not possess, and he is capable of stirring great multitudes. He could, it was remarked, begin speaking in French, then speak in English and often end his orations in Latin. Ireland was eloquent expressing his lifelong devotion to Joan of Arc. He called her, the embodiment of religion, and the most sweet, most beautiful, most sublime figure of womanhood in history save the Virgin Mother of Nazareth alone. His devotion to this French saint who modeled the virtues he admired patriotism, honor, fidelity was well known. In 1917, George Frederich Kunz, President of the American Scenic and Historical Preservation Society, sent Ireland a unique and meaningful gift: a stone from the dungeon of Rouen where Joan of Arc was imprisoned during her trial. Ireland graciously accepted the gift, but his failing health in 1917 prevented him from installing the stone in the Cathedral. When the Shrines of the Nations were complete in 1928, Archbishop Austin Dowling set the stone in the wall on the left side of the Shrine of Saint Therese of Lisieux to remind visitors of the heroism of another French woman. THIS STONE FROM THE CASTLE OF ROEN, FRANCE, WHERE JOAN OF ARC WAS PRISONER A.D Excerpts from The Catholic Church in the Diocese of St. Paul, by James Reardon. Note: The feast of Saint Joan of Arc is celebrated on May 30. ACSP. CATHEDRAL MSEM EXHIBIT ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND The Cathedral Museum. The museum will be open today after the 8am Mass. During the week the museum will be open on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Noon to 3:00 p.m. Volunteers are needed on Sundays to staff the museum after the 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. Masses.

For more information about wedding policies, call Gail Wood at ON THE COVER The Christ the King window in the sacristy was the first of the two windows planned for the sacristy. (The window of the Immaculate Conception created for the south wall was in process in 1959.) In July 1958, Msgr. George Ryan wrote to Pickel with this idea for the north window: It occurs to me that since it is in the wall above the Archbishop s vesting case, it might work out well if we put a glorified Christ as the central figure and in the small panes around the edges, the vesting prayers offered by a bishop as he puts on [his vestments]. But by December 1958, that idea was discarded, and Msgr. Ryan after much discussion with Pickel--wrote the following: Tu es sacerdos secundum ordinem Melchisedech (Ps. 109, 5; Hebr. 5, 6). This quotation from the Holy Scriptures became the overall theme of the window.
