1 We follow Christ by Living our Faith, Sharing Knowledge and Serving the Community. 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 15, 2018 Pastor s Note: Bishop Oscar Cantú Appointed Coadjutor Bishop of San Jose On Wednesday, July 11th, the Diocese of San Jose received good news and sad news. The good news is from the Vatican. Pope Francis had appointed a new coadjutor bishop of San Jose, Bishop Oscar Cantú of Las Cruces, New Mexico. The sad news is that Bishop Rich Garcia, Bishop of Monterey, died this morning at 6:30 a.m. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Such is the way of life. As many of you know Bishop Rich Garcia was the vocations director for the Diocese of San Jose when I joined the diocese and then became the Vicar of Clergy before becoming auxiliary bishop of Sacramento and then bishop of Monterey. He was a good friend and a wonderful priest and bishop. Only 6 months ago he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia that ultimately took his life. Please pray for him and may he enjoy the reward of his faithfulness and kindness. On Wednesday, we met coadjutor Bishop Cantú and as of September 28th he will assist Bishop Patrick J. McGrath, 73, in the administration of the Diocese of San Jose, and succeed McGrath upon his retirement or death. Cantú, 51, has served as bishop of Las Cruces, New Mexico since February He is fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and French. In 2016, Bishop Cantú was one of two delegates chosen to represent the U.S. bishops conference during Pope Francis visit to Mexico. After the pope s visit, the bishop told CNA it showed Mexico that the Holy Father cares about you, and that God is with us even in difficult moments, even in the darkness of life. Cantú has served as chairman of the United States bishops Committee on International Justice and Peace and is a member of the subcommittees on the Church in Latin America and Hispanic Affairs. He was born in Houston on December 5, 1966, and is the fifth of eight children. His parents, Ramiro and Maria de Jesus Cantú, are from small towns near Monterrey, Mexico. There s no dichotomy in being a Mexican-American. We love both countries because we have part of ourselves in both countries, Bishop Cantú told CNA in a February 2016 interview. (continued on page 2) 2nd Offering for Amigos for Christ As you might be aware, we have had to cancel our yearly mission trip to Nicaragua for this year due to civil unrest in the country. It was very sad for us as we have held this mission for almost 10 years. It is even harder on the people of Nicaragua. We received a note from John Bland and Amigos for Christ: Dear Friends at Holy Spirit, Greetings from Nicaragua! You can imagine how rough it is for us this week without you. You all are such bright lights for all of us here. You should know that your light continues to shine brightly here. Like Jesus modeled to his disciples, you have influenced great change here in Nicaragua. I know we will see you soon, but in the meantime know that you are loved intensely by all your Amigos. Your friend, John In support of Nicaragua, our second offering this weekend is to support the continued good work of Amigos for Christ. You can also donate on the parish website Redmond Avenue, San Jose, CA (408)

Although Bishop Cantú s father only received schooling up to 6th grade, he taught the value of education to his children, four of whom graduated college and three of whom have earned master s degrees. Ordained to the priesthood on May 21, 1994, Cantú was made a bishop in 2008, at the age of 41, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed him auxiliary bishop of San Antonio. During his 14 years as a priest of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston, he was involved in the Christian Family movement leading youth retreats; Engaged Encounter ministry; and the Metropolitan Organization (TMO), which addresses social issues in the community. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Dallas, and a master s in divinity and a master s in theological studies from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. He also earned his Doctorate of Sacred Theology in dogmatic theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. Before being ordained a bishop, he was pastor of his childhood parish, Holy Name, in Houston. He also served as parochial vicar of St. Christopher Parish and taught at the University of St. Thomas and St. Mary s Seminary. We welcome Bishop Oscar to our Diocese and I am excited to work with someone who has so much passion for Catholic Schools and for evangelization. This is great news for our local Church. Holy Spirit School 1198 Redmond Avenue San Jose, CA Peggy Krewson, Co-Principal Bob Graves, Co-Principal Colette O Bannion, Asst. Principal When is the last time I took time to be alone with Jesus in silence and prayer? Statement of Bishop Patrick J. McGrath July 11, 2018 It was with great joy that I received news that Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Oscar Cantú, currently Bishop of Las Cruces in New Mexico, as Coadjutor Bishop of San Jose. I congratulate Bishop Cantú on his appointment and thank him for his willingness to come west. I look forward to collaborating with him in our ministry of service to the people of this local Church. As we prepare to welcome Bishop Cantú to San Jose, I ask the people of this Diocese and all of our brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic Church to join us in praying for Bishop Cantú. I know that the new bishop will be eager to come to know the people of the parishes, schools and other institutions of the Diocese, and that he will be as impressed with the work of the clergy, religious and laity as I am. We will celebrate the Mass of Welcome for Bishop Cantú at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph on September 28, Page 2 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time July 15, 2018

LIVING THE LITURGY Silence in the Mass There are many aspects of verbal communication that we as Catholics find natural.

There are many forms of communication like these in the Mass, but the most challenging communicative aspect of the Mass is silence.

For this reason, silence becomes awkward and uncomfortable, and even silent prayer can prove to be a struggle.

The Catholic Church, in its wisdom, programmed times of silence into the Eucharistic Liturgy that we celebrate every Sunday.

3 LIVING THE LITURGY Silence in the Mass There are many aspects of verbal communication that we as Catholics find natural. We recite rote prayers such as the Nicene Creed and the Lord s Prayer as an assembly and use call-and-response exchanges like the psalm and intercessions. There are many forms of communication like these in the Mass, but the most challenging communicative aspect of the Mass is silence. In a world of constant distractions, it is rare to come across moments of sustained silence. For this reason, silence becomes awkward and uncomfortable, and even silent prayer can prove to be a struggle. Despite our disdain for it, silence can dramatically improve our understanding in all aspects of life, particularly in our relationship with God. The Catholic Church, in its wisdom, programmed times of silence into the Eucharistic Liturgy that we celebrate every Sunday. At Mass there are five silences: before the Penitential Act, after the presider says Let us pray, after each reading and the homily, after Communion, and before Mass. Each of these silences are placed into the Mass for a specific reason: to ready our hearts to receive, and to contemplate God s grace given to us in the great Sacrifice of the Mass. Before the Penitential Act, we pause in silence to recall our sins, in preparation for God s absolution. During the Liturgy of the Word, God reveals himself to us in the story of his relationship with humanity that we hear in the readings and homily, and silence is our aide to internalizing the Word that is proclaimed. When the presider calls us to prayer, we are called to present the prayers of our hearts to God in one communal prayer. The high point of our communal prayer is the receiving of the Eucharist in Communion. Once the last member of the Assembly receives Communion, it is important to silently reflect upon the graces given. All these silences are made possible through the silent preparations of our hearts before Mass. Mother Teresa says, In the silence of the heart, God speaks. As we enter into worship together, let us remember to worship with a quiet and listening heart, intent on the silence of the heart and the silence of the Mass.
