MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION 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.

This past Thursday, September 1 also marked a special Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, established by Pope Francis and following a long line of Catholic Social teaching on the environment. Thankfully, our nation has had a long history of preserving and protecting our natural resources so that all might enjoy the beauty of this vast landscape stretching 3,000 miles coast to coast. For a century, the.s. National Park Service has been entrusted with care of our national parks. Millions of people visit the parks each year, staffed by a crew of 20,000 employees. In an era in which many people of all political persuasions question the effectiveness of our government, the National Parks system is truly a gem. Its inception predates the formal act of.s. Congress and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on August 25, 1916 in a document called the Organic Act. In it, a national parks director was appointed at an annual salary of $4,500 ($99,350 adjusted for inflation). Writer and historian Wallace Stegner called our national parks the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst. The Park Service is a division of the.s. Department of the Interior. Why is this so important? The Park Service affords people of all economic levels an opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful scenery our nation has to offer, while preserving its history and caring for the earth. The Park Service s roots are more than 150 years old, when in 1864 President Abraham Lincoln deeded Yosemite Valley to the state of California. In 1872, President lysses Grant signed a law designating 2.2 million acres in the territory of Wyoming to be set aside for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, making Yellowstone the nation s first National Park. Someday I hope to visit there. The key phrase of the Act reads: fundamental purpose of the said parks and reservations, which purpose is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations. I had the opportunity to visit two National Parks and one national monument on a brief trip to South Dakota two weeks ago. Our National Monuments also fall under the same department, and Mount Rushmore is a prime example. I was particularly impressed by the presentation of Mount Rushmore, as the twilight video presented at the outdoor amphitheater painted a picture of our nation through the lives of the four men whose visages are carved into the side of the mountain, each representing a different phase of America s growth and development. The sculptor Gutzon Borglum selected the four presidents himself: George Washington representing our nation s birth; Thomas Jefferson, our nation s growth (e.g. Louisiana Purchase) Abraham Lincoln, our nation s preservation in time of internal strife, and Theodore Roosevelt, our nation s birth into the industrial age and his vision to preserve our natural resources. To him, we owe the greatest debt of gratitude for paving the way for the formal act of Congress in 1916. In 1991, Pope St. John Paul II issued his encyclical Centesimus Annus. In that document he noted: Not only has God given the earth to man, who must use it with respect for the original good purpose for which it was given to him, but man too is God s gift to man. He must therefore respect the natural and moral structure with which he has been endowed (para. # 38).

In other words, good theology is good ecology. If the National Park service has been called America s greatest idea, it is because we must consider the alternatives. Can you even imagine if the land occupied today by the national parks had been opened for development and private homesteads? Rather than the possible enjoyment for the masses, it would be reserved to the wealthy few who could afford to live there. God s creation is for all to enjoy. The fact is, as Pope Francis pointed out in Laudato Si: We are part of nature, included in it, and thus in constant interaction with it (para. # 139). I close with the beginning stanzas of the beautiful prayer composed by St. Francis of Assisi, the Canticle of the Sun: O most High, almighty, good Lord God, to you belong praise, glory, honor, and all blessing! Praised be my Lord God with all creatures; and especially our brother the sun, which brings us the day, and the light; fair is he, and shining with a very great splendor: O Lord, he signifies you to us! Praised be my Lord for our sister the moon, and for the stars, which God has set clear and lovely in heaven.. Two religious sisters were murdered in rural Mississippi, victims of an apparent robbery. Srs. Margaret Held and Paula Merrill worked as nurse practitioners in a clinic that provided 25% of the medical care in the entire county. The community was reeling from the tragic and senseless deaths. These sisters have spent years of dedicated service here in Mississippi, Bishop Joseph Kopacz of Jackson said in a statement. They absolutely loved the people in their community. I encourage our families to register their children for Religious Education classes this fall. We will be holding classes here on the Cathedral campus this year information is on our parish website. Classes begin Wednesday, September 21 st. The Cathedral Heritage Foundation s Festival of Lights is just around the corner, to be held Friday, September 23 at the Intercontinental Hotel. That is just across the street from the exact location of the first Cathedral of Saint Paul. We are raising much-needed funds to complete the interior LED lighting project, as well as begin plans for enhanced outer lighting. Installing LED s will greatly enhance the ambiance inside the church and saves significantly on the energy bill. If I could name one person whom I would love to have met but didn t, Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta would be at the very top of my list. She is being canonized this weekend, but in a strange sense, I think most everyone has already done so in his or her own heart! If she is not enjoying eternal beatitude with God, what hope is there for the rest of us? Sancta Teresia, ora pro nobis. A Pew Research Center poll reveals that the median age of Catholics in the pews is 49 years of age. I guess that clearly places me above the line! The Presbyterian median age is 59, while Muslims clocked in at 33, the youngest group represented in the survey. Hmmn, powerful food for thought. Sincerely in Christ, Fr.

Page 7 Our Pastor II VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES The newly designated bishop of Dubuque, Mathias Loras, arrived in New York in 1838 on his way to his new diocese. Father Joseph Cretin, Father Jacques Pelamourges and four subdeacons accompanied him. In this group was a dark-eyed man of twenty-nine, Lucien Galtier. Recruited as a subdeacon by Loras in France, he was assigned to spend a year at St. Mary s Seminary in Maryland, completing his theological studies and learning English. Ordained in January 1840, he was almost immediately sent by Loras into the wilderness of the upper Mississippi, a journey that filled him with awe and foreboding. The boat landed at the foot of Fort Snelling. The sight of the Fort... near the Mississippi and the St. Peter [Minnesota] rivers pleased me; but I soon discovered that there were only a few houses on the St. Peter side, and but two on the side of the Fort, surrounded by complete wilderness, and without any sign of fields under tillage. This gave me to understand that my mission and life must be a career of privation, hard trials, and suffering, and required of me patience, labor and resignation. Galtier would later recall difficult first days followed by a month suffering from fever and ague. And, more depressing, he reported, I was panting after a priest, but there was not one near me. Released from the infirmary at Fort Snelling, he turned his attention to the area east of the Mississippi: eighteen families had settled in the vicinity of Pig s Eye Parrant s tavern. Thirteen of them were Catholic, and they all spoke French. Galtier began to offer Mass for these people with some regularity in whatever shanty was available, though none of these shanties was large enough. In October, 1840, a meeting was convened to discuss the situation. One early settler remembered: It was suggested that a shelter, a cover supported by posts be erected, an idea that attracted little support. It soon became clear that there was a need and a desire to set up a permanent place for worship. It was decided to erect a log cabin chapel. But nothing was done until late the next summer. By that time, there would be an increased number of Catholic settlers and they would come together to build a parish church. Excerpts from Pilgrims from the Northland, by Marvin O Connell. ACSP. Note: Father Marvin O Connell, author of John Ireland and the American Catholic Church and Pilgrims from the Northland, died on August 22. A priest of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, he was a professor at Notre Dame niversity, an eminent scholar and historian. His colleagues wrote of him: Father O Connell stands in the very front rank of distinguished historians.... He utilized his striking talents as an integral part of his fundamental vocation as a priest: he well understood the crucial role of the historian in the life of the Christian people. An inveterate storyteller, his books were notable for what one reviewer called a painterly eye and an elegant craftsmanship. His words have been heard often in Voices from the Archives. From his published works and a collection of lectures, sermons and articles, we have come to know the history of the Archdiocese. And we have met John Ireland the boy, the priest, the bishop, the archbishop. In truth, we would not know John Ireland without Marvin O Connell. May he rest in peace. ACSP.
