Ps 119:105 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. Stand

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.

Don t misunderstand me I enjoy interacting with young adults, but increasingly find myself losing touch with their worldview. I recently stopped by a Starbucks to purchase some coffee, paying with a Starbucks card that I acquired eight years ago. Unable to resist, I asked, Do you recognize the black and white photo on my card? They typically answer, No, with a blank facial expression that cries, Should I? I reply, It is only available in one place on the country Still, no response! It is the very first Starbucks store at Seattle s Pike Place Market, I triumphantly announce. Last week, the barista said, Cool I did not know that. Usually, it is more akin to Thanks for sharing would you like your coffee ground or whole? Sorry, but I am just curious if they display any sense of history of the very company for which they work. The term millennial is generally understood to refer to those born between 1981 and 1996. Thus, all are of legal drinking age, while the oldest among the cohort were born while I was finishing high school. In other words, definitely not of my generation! A recent Pew Research Center study outlines the growth of the religiously unaffiliated. It is quite revealing. While surveys a generation ago indicated that fewer than 1 in 10 people considered themselves to be unaffiliated, most recent studies indicate fully that 23% now describe themselves as atheists, agnostics or nothing in particular. The trends all point downward and this ought to be a major concern. Among millennials, those with a low level of religious commitment has grown from 19% to 29% in just the past seven years. The problem of belief has created a growing divide in our nation in part due to the increase of the nones. This nomenclature refers to those who, when surveyed about their religious status, checked the box marked nothing in particular next to the question. That number came in at 16%. In that survey noted above, the Christian share in the United States dropped from 78.4% to 70.6% in the same seven year period. That s a rapid drop. So why is this the case? Are people still interested in the search for truth, for God? Yes, they are, and I was thrilled with the turnout for Christmas Mass this year, clearly up from a year ago. I do not consider myself to be a glass half-empty kind of guy. If anything, I am a realist and look at the religious and ecclesial landscape critically. In 1670 A.D., the eminent philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal wrote: True fear is joined to hope, because it is born of faith and because men hope in the God in whom they believe. False fear is joined to despair, because men fear the God in whom they have no belief. The former fear to lose Him; the latter fear to find Him. (Pensees # 262). Is that what is going on today? People are afraid to find Him? Though the root of faith is not intellectual, one of its fruits is. The best definition I have encountered of theology is Faith seeking understanding (Latin: fides quaerens intellectum). It dominated the study of theology for a millennium. So, if young adults struggle with understanding things related to faith, they are in good company. There is no shame in seeking; in fact it is encouraged. As St. Augustine wrote centuries ago (Tractates on John s Gospel, 29, 6): If you do not understand, I say, believe. For understanding is the reward of Faith. Therefore, do not seek to understand so that you may believe, but believe that you may understand (Crede ut intellegas). In other words, faith in Jesus is a work of Jesus, but the Lord makes use of our own intellect. Christ works in us, but not without us. In short we

all have our part to play. Yes, we can google our questions and have an answer in 0.45 seconds. But faith does not, nor ought to work like that. We need to have skin in the game, so to speak. For a brilliant man like Augustine, who knew first hand the reality of searching for God for many years, he offered advice because he understood the pain that accompanied his searching. He is advising his readers not to try to understand with a view to faith, but to believe with a view to greater understanding. Here, we can most definitely help by engaging their intellects in an atmosphere that is equally engaging. While still composing this column, out of the blue I received an e-mail from a millennial who had discovered our website. While she was not exactly sure why, she said that she was drawn to explore her faith, even though her friends do not understand and she has hasn t thought of religion in ages. She wrote that religion seems to have become a lost tradition among my generation. As you might imagine, I was thrilled to respond and invited her to our upcoming Theology on Tap series. The TOT program seeks to engage young adults by means of timely topics. This winter is begins on Wednesday, January 18 at O Gara s Restaurant on Snelling Ave. I truly hope she comes, and I hope you pass the word along to all the 20- somethings you know. The Saint Paul Seminary is hosting a Prayer Vigil for Hope, Healing and Mercy. All are invited, especially those dealing with the tragic aftermath of abortion. Sponsored by Project Rachel, it takes place on Saturday evening, January 21, beginning with a 7:00 p.m. Mass celebrated by Archbishop Hebda and continuing until 11:00 p.m. My, how flying has changed. I am just old enough to recall when flying was an event, for which people dressed up. An attendant would lift a sticker from the giant seat map and place it on your boarding pass. Passenger screening only began in 1973. Now, it s more akin to a cramped bus ride. The frequency with which passengers are removed from flights is also quite alarming. Just last week, a Delta flight to Los Angeles returned to MSP after an hour due to an unruly couple in their 30 s. While under the international radar, Islamist Fulani herdsmen are committing massive violence against Christians in Nigeria. Bishop Joseph Bagobiri of Kafanchan related that since September, there have been 53 villages burned down, 808 people murdered and 57 wounded, 1,422 houses and 16 churches destroyed. The bishop did not know from where came the AK-47 s used. I think that 2017 is going to be an interesting year. We will celebrate the 100 th anniversary of Fatima on May 13, mark the 100 th anniversary of the U.S. entry into WWI, witness a total solar eclipse on August 21 and mark 500 years since Martin Luther s posting of the 95 Theses in October. Attendance at papal events in Rome totaled 3.9 million in 2016, up 700,000 from 2015. This includes all Masses, General Audiences, the Sunday Angelus, etc. The Jubilee Year of Mercy events comprised 450,000 of that total. In Pope Francis first year in 2013, 6 million pilgrims attended such events. This week is National Migration Week. Let us pray for all who have been forced to leave their homeland due to persecution, that they may find a better life and that peace will return to their lands. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. John L.

Page 7 VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him. Mt. 2:2. Though the exterior of the Cathedral was completed in 1915, it took decades to complete the interior. Work on the chapels proceeded following the general artistic plans already on Masqueray s drawing board in 1915. But the practical concerns of lighting the Cathedral, its chapels and the growing number of art works were not fully addressed. In the 1920s Maginnis and Walsh positioned a series of large candelabras on the piers and the walls of the sanctuary, but they did little to increase the light beyond the limited area of the sanctuary. Masqueray s plan for cove lighting above the cornice proved impractical for daily use. The vast expanse of the Cathedral was in still in dim light. In exasperation, Msgr Lawrence Ryan suspended a seven-hundred-and-fifty watt bulb from the center of the dome. It lit the 7,150 square feet beneath the dome of the Cathedral, but the general opinion was, It was effective, if unsightly. In the late 1940s, Msgr. George Ryan addressed the interior lighting problem again, this time determined to meet both the practical and artistic goals set by Masqueray and developed by Maginnis and Walsh. Ryan commissioned Charles Duepner, a Minneapolis artist/craftsman, to design a chandelier and the electric hoist for its easy maintenance. Duepner s design was installed sixty-eight feet above the nave. An eight-point star, the chandelier not only illuminates the Cathedral and lights the center of the dome, it is a dramatic Christian symbol. A star with eight rays, it points to every corner of the earth where the light of Christ shines and can be seen by all. This chandelier, this Cathedral star was installed in 1947. Duepner also created the chandeliers in the transepts that illuminate not only the chapels, but Mark Balma s frescoes. The arrival of Bishop Cretin in 1851 and the dedication of the fourth Cathedral in 1915 would be lost in shadows without Duepner s chandeliers. Seven smaller fixtures in a similar design light the narthex. An active artist/craftsman, Duepner educated himself in the art of lighting design. He worked with both Msgr. George Ryan and Maginnis and Walsh to meet the challenge of providing adequate lighting for liturgical services and meeting the high artistic standards set by Masqueray. In his long career he also designed and crafted tables, chairs, chalices, ciboria, candle stands and menorahs for churches and temples in the Twin Cities.
