5 Page 6 The Life of Jesus Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus told his disciples this parable: "The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise ones replied, 'No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.' While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said, 'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!' But he said in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.' Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour." REFLECTIONS FROM THE SAINTS Earthly riches are like the reed. Its roots are sunk in the swamp, and its exterior is fair to behold; but inside it is hollow. If a man leans on such a reed, it will snap off and pierce his soul. - St. Anthony of Padua ONE MINUTE MEDITATION Think about your Mother the Holy Church and consider how, if one member suffers, the whole body suffers. Your body needs each one of its members, but each member needs the whole body. What would happen if my hands were to stop doing their duty... or if my heart were to stop beating? - St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge, #471 DEDICATION OF THE CHURCHES OF SAINTS PETER AND PAUL Among the sacred places venerated by Christians from ancient times, one of the most celebrated has always been the tomb of St. Peter, at Rome. The Emperor Constantine erected a splendid basilica over this tomb and another basilica on the Ostian Way at the place where St. Paul suffered martyrdom. Both were consecrated by St. Sylvester. When the basilica of St. Peter was destroyed, it was rebuilt in a more imposing style and newly consecrated in The basilica of St. Paul, also destroyed by fire, was in turn rebuilt and newly consecrated by Pius IX in 1854, before an assemblage of Cardinals and Bishops who were in Rome to attend the ceremonies connected with the promulgation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The anniversaries of both dedications are united and form the object of today s feast.

6 Page 7 LIVES OF THE SAINTS Occasionally in this space will appear a short article covering the lives of the saints, especially with reference to those saints whose likeness appear on the stained glass windows in the church and chapel, or whose statue is present in the chapel area or the candle room area. LIVES OF THE SAINTS May the wisdom of the Saints inspire us in our daily lives: Nov 12 St. Josaphat, Religious Nov 13 St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin Nov 14 St. Sidonius, Abbot Nov 15 St. Albert the Great, Bishop & Doctor of the Church Nov 16 St. Margaret of Scotland St. Gertrude Nov 17 St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Religious Nov 18 The Dedication of the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, Apostles ST. FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI Virgin Frances Xavier Cabrini was born in Lombardy, Italy, in 1850, one of 13 children. At 18, she desired to become a Sister but poor health stood in her way. She helped her parents until their death, and then worked on a farm with her brothers and sisters. One day a priest asked her to teach in a girls school and she stayed for 6 years. At the request of her Bishop, she founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to care for poor children in schools and hospitals. Then at the urging of Pope Leo XIII she came to the United States with 6 Sisters in 1889 to work among the Italian immigrants. Filled with a deep trust in God and endowed with a wonderful administrative ability, this remarkable woman soon founded schools, hospitals, and orphanages in a strange land and saw them flourish in the aid of Italian immigrants and children. At the time of her death, in Chicago on December 22, 1917, her institute numbered houses in England, France, Spain, the United States, and South America. In 1946, she became the first American citizen to be canonized, when she was elevated to sainthood by Pope Pius XII. PRAYER God, through the work of St. Frances Cabrini You brought comfort and love to the immigrants and those in need. May her example and work be continued in the lives of those dedicated to You. Amen. ST. ALBERT THE GREAT Bishop & Doctor of the Church Born in 1206 at Swabia, Germany, St. Albert the Great spent his youth under the spiritual tutelage of Blessed Jordan of Saxony, who inspired him to join the Order of Preachers. He studied and taught philosophy at Cologne and Paris, where he became one of the most famous philosophers of his day. At Cologne he was famous as the teacher of St. Thomas Aquinas. Named to the Bishopric of Ratisbon, he retired to dedicate his talents to writing and teaching. He died in Poland in St. Albert the Great was a man of immense knowledge. His works are voluminous in bulk and encyclopedic in scope: they include besides biblical and theological works and sermons-treatises on logic, metaphysics, ethics, and the physical sciences. His interests extended to physics, astronomy, chemistry, and biology, to human and animal physiology, to geography, geology and botany. This Universal Teacher stands out for his recognition of the autonomy of human reason in its own sphere and the validity of knowledge gained from sense-experience. Yet he never ceased to regard the Scriptures as the fount of man s spirituality or true wisdom. ST. ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY Religious St. Elizabeth was born in Hungary in 1207, the daughter of Alexander, King of Hungary. At the age of 4 she was sent for her education to the court of Landgrave of Thuringia, to whose infant son she was bethrothed. As she grew in age, her piety also increased by leaps and bounds. In 1221, she married Louis of Thuringia and in spite of her position at court began to lead an austerely simple life, practiced penance, and devoted herself to works of charity. Her husband was himself much inclined to religion and highly esteemed her virtue, encouraging her in her exemplary life. They had 3 children when tragedy struck-louis was killed while fighting with the Crusaders. After his death, Elizabeth left the court, made arrangements for the care of her children, and in 1228 renounced the world, becoming a tertiary of St. Francis. She built the Franciscan hospital at Marburg and devoted herself to the care of the sick until the death at the age of 24 in 1231.

7 Page 8 Our Faith PATIENCE: THE VIRTUE WE ALL NEED There is not one person in the world who could say that he does not need the virtue of patience. Jesus said: By your patience you will save your soul. Given that this virtue is universal and not easy to attain, it shall be our topic for conversation in this brief article! PATIENCE FOR WHO? You might stop and look at your life and ask the question: with whom, where, and when do I need the virtue of patience? Not to be overly simplistic, but I believe we can narrow this question to three distinct categories: We have to be patient with others those we meet, those we live with, those we work with, those we associate with, those with whom we come into contact either frequently or less frequently. Then, another very important category or person with whom we must exercise constant and infinite patience and that is with ourselves, yes, with ourselves! Finally, and this last Person with whom we must practice patience may not be as obvious at first thought, is GOD! This being said, we must be keenly aware of the hard and cruel fact that people will rub us the wrong way, get on our nerves, provoke us, exasperate us, and sometimes simply drive us bananas to put it bluntly! As you read this article, I am sure that you have some person in mind, more likely, some persons in mind! Certain idiosyncrasies of others their tone of voice, the pace they move at, their facial expression, the words they use or fail to use, drive you up the wall. We all know these people, have had contact with them, and probably do even right now. What then are we going to do to remedy this predicament? Easier said than done the solution to this problem of patience with the person or persons that seem to be simply intolerable! Let us offer three simple suggestions that can be invaluable! FIRST, PRAYER! Jesus says that we have to pray, and not simply for those people whom we see as charming, attractive, likable, holy and unblemished as if these people really do exist anyway. We must pray for all people because they were created by a loving God, and God wants all of humanity to form a family in which the virtues of love, compassion, mercy, and respect reign supreme! Jesus says very clearly that we have to even pray for our enemies, as He taught us on the cross: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. SECOND, HUMILITY! Be humble in the midst of your dislike of this in the eyes of God than those of the person that you really cannot stand! God loves the humble, but rejects the person who drives you up the wall due to the many defects that you observe in him. Remember and call to mind your own defects, which might be more serious in the eyes of God than those of the person that you really cannot stand! God loves the humble, but rejects the arrogant and proud. When tempted to look down on this person, call to mind one of your most egregious failures or sins and God s mercy towards you. This will help you to be more compassionate, kind, and patient toward this intolerable person! AGERE CONTRA Third, put into practice what Saint Ignatius of Loyola teaches in the course of the Spiritual Exercises and it is the concept of agere contra. This is a short Latin phrase which literally means to go against! Therefore, when you are tempted to be impatient, unkind, cold or downright mean to this person who presses your buttons, do the opposite. A smile, a kind word, a nice gesture, or even giving a gift all this is difficult but very pleasing to God! This conquering of self, though difficult, is possible and once done a true sign of the victory of God s grace in your life. PATIENCE WITH YOURSELF Now what about patience with oneself? Those who are so-called perfectionists will always end up defrauded, especially with themselves. Why? For the simple reason that we live in a complex and very imperfect world, better yet a sinful world! Only God is perfect and all of humanity is composed of sinners, hopefully on the pathway of conversion. The Bible teaches us that the just man falls seven times a day. Jesus says that we must forgive those who offend us not seven times, but 70 times seven times. In other words, even though we have to be constantly fighting to overcome our sinful tendencies, as well as sin itself in our lives, we should strive never to give in to impatience at our many falls, much less discouragement. Indeed, the saints teach us that after sin itself, discouragement is mortal enemy number one! Patience: name it and claim it! The Founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, Venerable Bruno Lanteri expressed it in two short words, and these two words say it all: Nunc coepi, meaning now I begin. In other words, after we fall or fail in one way or another, we should get up, dust ourselves off, launch ourselves into the loving arms of God the Father (the image of Saint Therese of Lisieux), and simply start anew! We should trust more in God s grace than in our human weakness remembering the words of the great Apostle Saint Paul: When I am weak, it is then that I am strong! The newly canonized saint, the Missionary of California, Saint Junipero Serra coined this immortal (Continued on Page 9)

8 Page 9 phrase: Siempre Adelante, siempre Adelante y nunca atras, translated as Always forward, always forward and never turn back! Therefore, when we do fall (and no doubt we will fall) we should never give in to discouragement, but rather trust less in ourselves and more in God s power in our lives. In other words, less self-reliance and more God-reliance! With the Psalmist let us exclaim: Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. PATIENCE WITH GOD Finally, the last Person and the most important Person to be patient with is God Himself! This may surprise many who, in their hearts, might be thinking: I have never been impatient with God! Have you ever prayed to God and found that your prayers were not answered according to your criteria? Have you ever asked God to help you in sickness and suffering and it seemed as if God was not listening, absent, or totally indifferent to your situation? Has it ever happened that you made a novena to God, to Mary, or to one of God s angels or saints and the request made was not answered; instead, your situation seemed to get even worse? Has it ever happened that you prayed for the conversion of somebody and absolutely nothing seemed to happen? Has it ever happened in your life that you begged God with faith for the mountain to be moved, and when you got up the following morning the mountain had not moved or budged a millimeter? With these so called prayers or petitions and unresolved problems or aggravating circumstances where it seemed as if God really did not care, was indifferent, or even uninterested in your sorrowful plight, there is a good chance that you became impatient with God to the point of even becoming angry at God. This plight is more common than we might realize. What then is the response to this predicament? Our God is a God of infinite love! Our God is a God of infinite Wisdom! However, the mind of God is not the mind of man. His ways far transcend and supersede ours, in knowledge, wisdom, love, and planning. We can barely see beyond our own nose and we live only in a specific moment of time. Not so with God! He lives in the eternal present. For an infinite and eternal God, the past, present, and future are all the same. This being said, for the sake of our conversion, sanctification, perseverance in grace, and eternal salvation, God s plans and decisions will not always meet with our criteria. However, we must believe in God s loving and providential design! All God does for you individually, personally, socially, and spiritually is always in the broad and panoramic perspective and in the light of eternity for your good. Therefore, strive never to be impatient with God but trust Him, trust totally and humbly in His infinite love for you and providential care. Beg Our Lady, who stood beneath the cross watching Jesus suffer and die, to have great trust and patience in God s plan for your life!
