2 Deacon s Page July 19, 2015 JMJ Deacon Paul s Corner Sunday Scripture Note In the first reading we hear of Jeremiah s indictment of the official leaders for neglecting their duties toward the people. It is their fault for the people s misfortune. But God will not let his people languish. He himself will assume leadership and then entrust the flock to good and faithful servants. This ties in nicely with the Gospel. Jeremiah s promise is fulfilled in Jesus. Jesus, the Good Shepherd loves his people. First, we see his care for the twelve they just returned from ministry trips and need a break; then we see his care for the people, whom he teaches at length - many things. This sets up a great contrast between the government leaders and Jesus. The people will eventually flock to Jesus today as well. Every page of the Gospel shows that Jesus cared about people. He cares for us too. He makes us into one people, the people of God, the community of his disciples. - deacon paul Patronize our Advertisers And, please mention you saw the advertisement in our Church Bulletin.

FACT OF FAIT H MARONITE CATHOLICS Seven Churches, each bearing a great and ancient history with unique liturgical traditions and culture, comprise the Catholic Church in the Middle East.

All these Churches are Arabic-speaking and immersed in Arabic culture. The Maronite Catholic Church is the largest of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the Middle East at around 3 million members.

However, slightly over half its members have emigrated from the Middle East to countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

5 FACT OF FAIT H MARONITE CATHOLICS Seven Churches, each bearing a great and ancient history with unique liturgical traditions and culture, comprise the Catholic Church in the Middle East. Each of these Churches is in full communion with Rome, but six with an Eastern tradition are sui iuris, or self-governing, and have their own Patriarchs. All these Churches are Arabic-speaking and immersed in Arabic culture. The Maronite Catholic Church is the largest of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the Middle East at around 3 million members. It has a strong presence in Lebanon, with smaller communities in Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, and the Holy Land. However, slightly over half its members have emigrated from the Middle East to countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The Maronite Church traces its origin back to a community formed around St. Maron, a 4th century monk who led an ascetic life. They were staunch defenders of the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon and thus received papal recognition in 518 A.D. There is a strong tradition among the Maronites that their Church never lacked communion with the Holy See since its formation in the 4th century. The Patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites resides in Bkerke, Lebanon. SAINT OF THE WEEK SHARBEL MAKHLUF Feast day July 24 Born in a Lebanese mountain village, Youssef was drawn to the life of his uncles, who were monks of the Maronite rite, but his peasant mother wanted her youngest child to work in the fields. At age 23, he left home for the monastery, taking the name Sharbel, after an early martyr. He was ordained a priest in 1859 and spent the next 16 years in the monastery at Annaya, working, fasting, and praying. From 1875, he lived as a hermit, praying ceaselessly, regarded as a saint by those who knew him. He is the first Maronite saint included in the Latin rite calendar.

(CNS photo/nancy Wiechec) CATECHETICAL CORN ER EASTERN CHURCHES AND WESTERN CHURCHES The Eastern Churches originated in that region of the world that was at one time part of the Eastern Roman Empire. These churches possess their own distinctive traditions that may be seen in their liturgy, theology, and law. The Western Church, focused in Rome, is sometimes called the Latin Church. All individual churches, Eastern or Western, that are in communion with the Apostolic See (Rome) are part of the Catholic Church.

It has a strong presence in Lebanon, with smaller communities in Syria, Jordan, Cyprus, and the Holy Land.

The Maronite Church traces its origin back to a community formed around St. Maron, a 4th century monk who led an ascetic life. They were staunch defenders of the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon and thus received papal recognition in 518 A.D. There is a strong tradition among the Maronites that their Church never lacked communion with the Holy See since its formation in the 4th century. The Patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites resides in Bkerke, Lebanon. The Melkite Greek Catholic Church is the next largest Eastern Catholic Church in the area, at 1.6 million members, of which over 750,000 reside in the Middle East, principally in Lebanon and Syria, but also in Jordan, Israel, Egypt and the Sudan, with a small number in Iraq. As with the Maronites, about half of its members have emigrated, moving especially to Brazil and Argentina, but also to Australia, Canada, the United States, Venezuela, and Mexico. The Melkite Church was formed in 1729 in Syria after a group separated from the Greek Orthodox Church to unite with the Holy See. The Patriarch of Antioch of the Greek Melkites resides in Damascus, Syria. The Armenian Catholic Church has over 500,000 members, one tenth of whom reside in the Middle East and the remainder spread across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Australia. The largest concentrations of Armenian Catholics within the Middle East are found in Lebanon and Syria, but there are also dioceses in Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and Israel. Until the 18th century, Armenian Catholics were under the authority of the Armenian Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople. Needing their own spiritual leader, the Armenian Catholic bishops, after petitioning Rome in 1742, elected their first Patriarch, who chose as his patriarchal seat the monastery at Bzommar, Lebanon. After a brief relocation to Constantinople, the Patriarch of Cilicia of Armenian Catholics returned his seat to Bzommar, with his residence and offices in Beirut, Lebanon. The Chaldean Catholic Church has almost 500,000 members, with about 60 percent residing in the Middle East. The Chaldeans are historically concentrated in Iraq as they came from the Assyrian Church of the East. In 1552, a group of Assyrian bishops decided to seek union with Rome. Although Pope Julius III proclaimed Patriarch Simon VIII Patriarch of the Chaldeans, pro- and anti-catholic parties struggled within the Assyrian Church of the East until 1830, when another Chaldean Patriarch was appointed. The Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans sits in Baghdad, Iraq; Chaldeans comprise about two-thirds of Iraqi Christians. The Chaldean Catholic Church is under particular stress due to the war in Iraq and many Chaldeans have fled to Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan to escape violence. Chaldeans can also be found in Iran, other Middle Eastern countries, Australia, and the United States. The Coptic Catholic Church s almost 164,000 members are in Egypt, particularly in Upper Egypt. In the 18th century, a Coptic Orthodox bishop became Catholic and the pope appointed him Vicar Apostolic of the small community of Egyptian Coptic Catholics, which at that time numbered no more than 2,000. Since 1947, the office of Patriarch has been filled. The Patriarch of Alexandria of the Copts is located in Cairo, Egypt. The Syrian Catholic Church is spread through much of the Middle East, but roughly 140,000 of its nearly 160,000 members are in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. A few thousand are in the United States or Venezuela. The 17th through 18th centuries saw an increase in Syrian Catholics, and in 1729, the first in a long chain of Syrian Catholic Patriarchs was elected. The Patriarchate moved several times before settling in Beirut, Lebanon. The Roman Catholic Church (Latin Rite) holds a substantial presence in the Middle East, more than any other Catholic Church, at nearly 2.7 million members. However, almost 2.5 million of these Latin Catholics are migrant workers who come from countries like the Philippines, India, and Ethiopia to work mainly in the Arabian Peninsula and Kuwait. Of the remaining 200,000, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem comprises the largest number of Latin Catholics at about 160,000. These Roman Catholic jurisdictions are not sui iuris like the Eastern Catholic Churches, but function like other dioceses of the Latin Rite.
