The Gospel today centers the question of our relationship with God in the struggle of Nathaniel to believe that it is possible to experience rebirth in the Spirit. The answer of Jesus is that God s response to the messes of this world is the mystery of saving love in Jesus Christ and the outpouring of an empowering Spirit. Western church architecture often tops a church building with a spire, indicating humanity s reach to a transcendent God. The Eastern Church responds with onion-shaped domes, indicating the Spirit s being poured down upon humanity precisely at this locale, the gathering of the faithful for the Divine Liturgy. This familiar design encodes a great mystery: here, at the Lord s table, we experience the outpouring of the Spirit for the life of the world. Nathaniel came to Jesus by night, since he was still working out the meaning of his life. A life a uned to the inner life of the Trinity must always be given to the light of day. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. The Altar Flowers are o ered in memory of Cy Kovalchik. If you d like to make a memorial o ering for a living or deceased loved one, please use the envelope marked Flower O ering found on the table near the entrance of the Church.
From the Pastor On Saturday, June 21, at 10am at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, our parishioner, Chip Lucke, will be ordained as a priest of the Archdiocese of Washington. Chip has successfully completed ve years of theological and pastoral formation in preparation for this day. We rejoice that the Lord now calls him to life-long service as a priest of Jesus Christ. We are all invited to a end the ordination, and I encourage as many of us as possible to be present for this joyous event. There is ample free parking at the Basilica, and the Basilica is a short walk from the CUA/Brookland Metro station. The Rite of Ordination is a beautiful and moving expression of the Christian call to service. It is a powerful work of the Holy Spirit that brings grace not only to the ordained but also to those who join them in the celebration. The next day, June 22, Fr. Lucke will celebrate his First Mass at St. Hugh s at the 11 am Mass. Afterwards, there will be a reception in Grenoble Hall where we will have an opportunity to congratulate Fr. Lucke individually and receive his First Blessing, which carries with it a plenary indulgence. Our other seminarian, Jack Berard, is back home after completing his rst two years of theology in Rome. Jack will also be at Fr. Lucke s First Mass, so you ll have an opportunity to greet him as well. As you know, we pray for vocation to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life at every Mass. The Lord has richly answered our prayers. He has shown us the great good that can be accomplished through fervent and persevering prayer. God be praised! So please mark your calendars for the Ordination Mass next Saturday and the First Mass and reception next Sunday. Yours in Christ, Father Walter News from the School of Religion We would like to o er a heart-felt congratulations to our St. Joseph Regional School 2014 graduates.
