HOMILY PROFESSION OF FAITH Please Stand 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.

For me, the timing was perfect. At 12 years of age, I was sufficiently impressionable to recall the celebrations, and it served as good news following the ending of the contentious Vietnam War a little more than a year before. The train consisted of 10 cars carrying American treasures all across the country, with stops in all 48 contiguous states. It included George Washington s copy of the Constitution, the original Louisiana Purchase and even Judy Garland s dress from the Wizard of Oz. It made its stop here right around my birthday, as I recall, at the end of August in I also recall the tall ships sailing into New York Harbor filled me with pride for my country. The famed Arthur Fiedler conducted the Boston Pops in the playing of the 1812 Overture, ending in a flurry of fireworks. (Sadly, city organizers have warned that the July 4th fireworks will only be visible from within CHS Stadium in Lowertown, and not from Harriet Island, Cathedral Hill or the State Capitol Mall.) How disappointing! Bring them back up here! Of course, under the surface, we were a divided nation in The Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision was just three years old, and I hardly understood its full implications. But where are we now? To me, by any reasonable sense of objectivity, we are an extremely divided nation and we must legitimately ask if indeed we are still a melting pot, as opposed to a tightly knit conglomeration of ethnic and socio-economic neighborhoods that have little to do with one another. An article in last week s Star Tribune caught my eye, noting that for the first time in a century, the geographical boundaries of Minneapolis-Saint Paul are on pace to grow instead of shrink with respect to the suburbs. The share of the population in the cities themselves is growing in comparison to the seven-county metro area. Minneapolis has added 37,000 residents since 2010, half of them moving onto just 7 percent of the city s landmass along the river from the North Loop to the Mill District to the University of Minnesota. Saint Paul too has added 19,000 residents, many in the Lowertown area. Pierre Pig s Eye Parrant would be amazed how his French-speaking settlement has grown! City growth can be advantageous when properly managed. Minneapolis is suddenly sprawling with luxury apartments and condos. The tougher questions center upon who is moving into which neighborhood, affordability of housing, and the ethnic make-up of the communities. The Cedar-Riverside neighbor on the edge of downtown Minneapolis is home to 8,000 residents, many of whom are Somalis. It is nestled between two freeways and separated by the river from the rest of Minneapolis. It effectively operates like its own village. Why is this significant? About 130 years ago in Saint Paul, newly arrived Catholics of Austrian heritage populated the Frogtown neighborhood, worshipping at Saint Agnes. At the turn of the 20th century, Italians immigrants settled on the upper levee. In those days, the communities tended to become quite insular and this concerned our Church leadership. But just fifty years later the community was uprooted, its houses condemned following several devastating floods. The residents dispersed, though a bevy of Italian businesses (Cossetta s, DeGidio s, Mancini s and Bonfe s) remain on West 7 th St. In 1888, while attending an event at Guardian Angels in Chaska, a German national parish, Archbishop John Ireland stunned the crowd by saying: Through an exaggerated love of old habits and trans-atlantic lands, are you to forget the present and the future, and reduce to social inferiority your sons and daughters?...your children are American; their hopes and

5 prospects are bound up in the fold of her flag True enough, Ireland grew up speaking English it was his native language. But he also spent eight years in seminary studies in France, having been sent there by our first bishop, Joseph Cretin. Upon his arrival as a fourteen-year-old, Ireland had to sink or swim in French. His experience helped shape his own passionate belief in the necessity of assimilation. When I arrived in Rome as a 42-year-old new student, my professors showed no sympathy after just seven weeks of studying Italian, I was expected to listen, read, write and speak in class, all in Italian. It was part of the deal. And while I admit my tendency romanticize the past (after all, in 1976 disco flourished) still, what kind of country are we seeing in 2017? Are we a melting pot? Do we share common values? Are we true to the ideals of our Founding Fathers? Consider: We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, (declare independence) And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor (Declaration of Independence; emphasis added). Do we rely on the protection of Divine Providence and appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions? If not, why not? While we cannot effect change single-handedly, we certainly can love our country s ideals, striving to live them by applying our Catholic faith to our daily lives. We change our nation one person at a time, beginning with ourselves. May we strive to live the ideals both of our faith and our country, seeing no contradiction between them. May God speak to our heart, and bless our nation abundantly. Begin your Independence Day Holiday with Mass at 9:00 a.m. Patriotic hymns will be sung. On both Monday and Tuesday we will observe a special schedule. See page 7. I recently attended the funeral of Fr. James Stromberg, a brilliant professor of philosophy at the then College of St. Thomas. More importantly, he was always first and foremost a faithful priest. He was an inveterate baseball fan and once attended a Giants game in San Francisco in which the starting pitcher-catcher duo both hit grand slams in the same game, a major league first! Requiescat in pace. I gave a tour to a pilgrimage group from the Diocese of Gaylord, MI. They made quite a loop, visiting Shrines at Holy Hill and La- Crosse, WI as well as the Marquette, MI Cathedral, in honor of the intrepid Bishop Baraga. Archbishop Hebda visited with the group and they loved re-connecting with their former bishop. But I watched em like a hawk, ensuring that they did not sneak him on the bus to reclaim his services! Speaking of pilgrimages, I m hoping to take a day to explore Prairie du Chien, WI, the burial site of Fr. Lucien Galtier first pastor of the log chapel of Saint Paul. After leaving Saint Paul, he returned to France for two years only to sail back across the pond, serving his last days as a priest in the Diocese of Milwaukee. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 against the state of Missouri, which had denied state funding to refurbish a playground, solely because it was attached to a Lutheran school. Indeed, a great victory for Religious Liberty. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. John L. Ubel, Rector CATHEDRAL CALENDAR Sunday, July 2 11:00 a.m. Rosary for Life - Cana Chapel 11:15 a.m. Blessing of Expectant Mothers - BVM Chapel 6:00 p.m. Rosary for Life - BVM Chapel Monday, July 3 Parish Office Closed 8:00 a.m. Church Opens 9:00 a.m. Daily Mass (Only Mass of the Day) 1:00 p.m. Church Closes Tuesday, July 4 - Independence Day Parish Office Closed 8:00 a.m. Church Opens 9:00 a.m. Daily Mass (Only Mass of the Day) 1:00 p.m. Church Closes Wednesday, July 5 8:00 a.m. Sung Morning Prayer - Chapel of Saint Joseph Thursday, July 6 8:00 a.m. Sung Morning Prayer - Chapel of Saint Joseph Friday, July 7 8:00 a.m. Sung Morning Prayer - Chapel of Saint Joseph 3:00 p.m. Divine Mercy Chant - Cana Chapel 6:30 p.m. CYA Outdoor Sports Night - Eagan Saturday, July 8 No Special Events Sunday, July 9 11:00 a.m. Rosary for Life - Cana Chapel 6:00 p.m. Rosary for Life - Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary Page 5 PRAYER FOR THE PROTECTION OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY O God our Creator, from your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ. Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society. We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith. Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us this great land will always be one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

7 Page 7 VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES The Work Continues... During WII, nothing of artistic consequence was done by the two wartime rectors--john J. Cullinan ( ) and Francis J. Schenk ( ). Soon after Pearl Harbor, an American flag was set at the left corner of the sanctuary and a service banner set above it. Blue stars were added weekly and within the year gold stars followed. Prayers for peace were part of daily Mass and devotions, where service men, living and dead, were honored and remembered. But the end of the war brought new energy to the embellishment of the interior under the direction of Msgr. George Ryan. Under his supervision over the next fifteen years, the interior was cobwebbed with scaffolding and filled with the sound of hammers and chisels. In 1946, Ryan commissioned Chester Weston to design the remaining stained glass windows in the Cathedral. Weston continued what he called Connick s medieval French flavor in the new windows, and for most of his work he imported glass from Europe. Weston s concept of the church with symbols of the Papacy, the hierarchy, the clergy and the laity were set on the east side of the south and north transepts, Ryan s letters show his involvement in the selection and design of these windows. He chose relatively contemporary saints, close in time and popular among Catholics in the early fifties. Saint Pius X represented the Papacy, Saint Anthony Mary Claret, the episcopate, and Saint John Bosco, the clergy. To represent the laity, he chose Maria Goretti, a martyr to purity. A twelve -year-old girl, she was stabbed to death when she resisted the sexual advances of a local young farmer. Barely surviving, she lay dying, finding the spiritual strength to forgive her unrepentant murderer. Weston s window shows Maria Goretti holding a white dove, a symbol of purity. She is surrounded by images of her simple rural life the rake, scythe and farm house at her feet. Near her haloed head he placed the image of a dagger, the instrument of her martyrdom and a serpent recalling Christ s command: Be wise as serpents. Centered in the window is the principal message of Maria Goretti s life: Blessed are the clean of heart. The lower section shows the crown of martyrdom and the words suggesting the passage of her young life: on the wings of the dove. Excerpts from An Architectural Biography, by Eric Hansen. Note: The feast of Saint Maria Goretti is July 6. ACSP. RITES BAPTISM We welcome those who have been newly baptized. Please pray for them as they continue to grow in Christ.
