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. UNIVERSAL PRAYER Stand. Lord, hear our prayer

3 THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST PREPARATION HYMN (when announced) DOWN AMPNEY 472 Come Down, O Love Divine MOTET (10:00 a. m.) Cantate Domino John Rutter Cantate Domino canticum novum. O sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth. Sing unto the Lord and praise his name; be telling of his salvation from day to day. Declare his honor unto the heathen; and his wonders unto all people. For the Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised. He is more to be feared than all gods. As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols; but it is the Lord that made the heavens. Glory and worship are before him; power and honor are in his sanctuary. Ascribe unto the Lord the honor due unto his name; bring presents, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; for he cometh to judge the earth. Veni Creator Spiritus, Mentes tuorum visita: Imple superna gratia Quae tu creasti pectora. Cantate Domino canticum novum. ORATE, FRATRES Roman Missal Celebrant: Pray brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father..

It is a valid question, one to which I do not have an equally good answer. Perhaps I d work in the airline industry, pouring over airlines schedules and crunching numbers to devise more efficient routes, or maybe I d have a career in the State Department, diplomatically trying to represent our government. It's a moot point because I love my life as a priest. But I do know this much. I never would have made it in the arena of high fashion or clothing sales! Once, while mindlessly glancing at the Magazine section of The Sunday New York Times, I could not believe my eyes. There I saw an advertisement for a $35,000 alligator bag and a $6,000 pair of shoes in a chic 5 th Avenue boutique. People have argued for centuries about what constitutes good fashion and style. I m not going to wade into that pool! It changes from generation to generation and always has. I may never fully understand, but that is immaterial. Still, it beggars the imagination to consider what could possibly motivate someone to spend such sums of money to adorn the human body. Having said that, I also think that some priests can spend way too much money on sacred vestments, and in some cases I am uncomfortable with the amounts expended, most especially if parish funding is tight. Recall the words of Ash Wednesday Remember man that thou art dust and unto dust you shall return. We can t take any of this with us, folks. But I too have fallen prey to materialism and covetousness. When I was in 7 th grade, I begged and begged my parents for new Nike leather tennis shoes. But Mom, all the kids have this pair. They were white with a red swoosh! Sure they were more expensive, but they were the in shoes, and I just had to have them. My parents finally gave in, and I received a pair for my birthday. The much-coveted shoes were promptly stolen the very first time I went roller-skating (yes, now I am really dating myself in the mid- 70 s) and I literally had to be picked up in stocking feet! I quickly reverted to my Converse All-Star canvas shoes. So much for my brief foray into high fashion, or so I thought. Guess what they have come back in style! For me, clothing will always be more practical than prophetic, but I certainly understand why people desire to look their best. Dressing up is important for special events, and we all feel just a bit more special when we decorate our homes for a holiday or take the extra time to dress up for a special occasion. So it makes good sense as we approach the warmer weather in June (finally!) to pay close attention to our sartorial habits. It seems reasonable to expect that we put on our Sunday clothes for Mass, and fight off any temptation or practical considerations (e.g. we re going to a picnic right after Church anyway ) to dress down. This is the time to stay focused on the Lord, and we do so even by means of our appearance. The Psalmist exhorts the faithful: Give to the Lord the glory due his name; adore the Lord in holy attire. (Psalm 29:2) Does our manner of dress on Sunday give glory to God? No, Mass is neither a New York fashion show; (heaven forbid), nor is it a time just like any other time on the weekend. It is the most important act of our week, bar none. People ask me occasionally what is appropriate attire for Sunday Mass. I would answer that for our gentlemen collared shirts are most appropriate, ties are certainly always welcome, and dress pants are preferred. For adult men, shorts appear awfully casual for Sunday Mass. For our ladies, skirts of a modest length or dress slacks are preferred, con-

5 sidering the canons of modesty, mindful of appropriately covering the shoulders. In so doing, we show our reverence for God and we honor our act of Sacred Worship. Clothing can be cool, comfortable and modest at the same time. Will we turn people away at the door? Of course not! Nor will I look askance at folks who enter our doors dressed perhaps a bit too casually. That is never my intention, nor the point of this column. Rather, I am encouraging people to think carefully and pray about what it means to put on our Sunday best. Especially in the case of our Sunday 5:00 p.m. Mass in the summer, it can get quite toasty in Church. In fact, many people are returning from some event out and about. I fully appreciate that and am delighted you are coming to the Cathedral! At the same time, I encourage your creativity; consider throwing some clothing into your car that could easily be added to what you are wearing earlier in the day. Just a little food for thought as you head off to picnics and Graduation parties. God bless you all and thank you for worshipping here on Sundays. In what may just be the lamest excuse ever put forward, the government of the Philippines has outlawed the hanging of rosaries and crucifixes from rear view mirrors in cars as a safety concern. Apparently, they block people s view of the road. In truth, also banned were cell phones and air freshener products. Sadly, the President of this the largest Catholic country in Asia is no friend of the Church. He has routinely insulted and excoriated Catholic bishops in public. You would never know from the mainstream media, but refugees continue to flee North Africa in overcrowded and untrustworthy vessels in hopes of making it to islands off the coast of Italy such as Lampadusa. In a recent weekend, nearly 200 out of 6000 refugees who fled died, bringing the number of dead to nearly Theology on Tap gets underway on Wednesday, June 14 at O Gara s located at the corner of Snelling and Selby. The six-week series schedule may be found online. I am grateful to the Cathedral Young adults for their work on this program, as well as their assistance with Sunday afternoon Confirmation ushering duties. Their presence has been a big help to our regular ushers. Kudos to the Diocese of Brooklyn for some very creative advertising on behalf of the Church. They had a billboard depicting Michelangelo s creation panel (the hand of God reaching out to touch Adam s) and used that image to advertise an evening of Reconciliation all throughout the Diocese on Monday of Holy Week. The ads showed at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, right at the beginning of the baseball season. When I read that a Slovak climber had died while trying to reach the summit of Mount Everest, I was concerned. At the final stop before Everest Base Camp, I had visited briefly at breakfast with a Slovakian gentleman who was eating alone He explained that he was training in the area and that in May he would attempt to summit Mount Everest. Sadly, when I saw a photo on a news story, I knew in an instant that it was the same man. May Vladimr Strba (age 50) rest in peace. Sincerely in Christ, Fr.

VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES As early as 1904, Archbishop Ireland set a rule for the interior embellishment of the Cathedral: The work will not go, as a matter of course, to the lowest bidder, but to an artist. This was Archbishop Dowling s guide as he worked with Maginnis & Walsh on the completion of the sanctuary. In 1918, Pennell, Gibbs and Quiring of Boston created the brightly colored representation of the Holy Spirit and His Seven Gifts. Msgr. Lawrence Ryan, who worked at Dowling s side, summarized the symbolism of their work. Viewing the altar as a whole from a point just outside the bronze gates of the Communion rail, we note two vitally expressive symbols: 1 st, we see a great bronze shield just below the cross that crowns the canopy or baldacchino. The centerpiece of this shield is a dove a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit descending at the Holy Mass comes with his choicest gifts in sacrifice and sacraments. This beautiful symbolism relates the altar to its background. In the center of the ceiling above is a painting of the descent of the Holy Spirit just below this panel are several paintings of angel figures representing the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. The seven stained glass windows represent seven sacraments. It is through the sacrifice of the Mass and through the seven sacraments of the church that God the Holy Spirit sanctifies the souls of all men of Good will... As in all great masterpieces.... their riches reveal themselves slowly step by step to those who give time, thought and intelligent emotional response. From these awesome delights emerge beauty and mystery. The sanctuary apse is a stunning display of the art of painting and stained glass and the richness of symbol. The angel figures in the coffers symbolize knowledge, counsel, wisdom, understanding, piety, fear of the Lord and fortitude. The windows below the coffers celebrate the sacraments each represented by an Archangel: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Eucharist, Matrimony, Penance, Extreme Unction. These windows were the artistic debut of Charles Connick, the artist who brought vibrant patterns of vivid color to every corner of the Cathedral.
