Saint of the Month Saint Bridget of Sweden

(c. 1303 – July 23, 1373)

Saint Bridget of Sweden’s Story

From age 7 on, Bridget had visions of Christ crucified. Her visions formed the

basis for her activity—always with the emphasis on charity rather than spiritual favors.

She lived her married life in the court of the Swedish king Magnus II. Mother of

eight children—the second eldest was Saint Catherine of Sweden—Bridget lived the strict life of a penitent after her

husband’s death.

Bridget constantly strove to exert her

good influence over Magnus; while never fully reforming, he did give her land and buildings to found a monastery

for men and women. This group eventually expanded into an Order

known as the Bridgetines.

In 1350, a year of jubilee, Bridget braved a plague-stricken Europe to

make a pilgrimage to Rome. Although she never returned to Sweden, her

years in Rome were far from happy, being hounded by debts and by opposition to her work against Church

abuses.

A final pilgrimage to the Holy Land, marred by shipwreck and the death of

her son, Charles, eventually led to her death in 1373. In 1999, Bridget, Saints

Catherine of Siena and Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, were named co-patronesses of Europe.

Reflection

Bridget’s visions, rather than isolating her from the affairs of the world,

involved her in many contemporary issues, whether they be royal policy or

the years that the legitimate Bishop of Rome lived in Avignon, France. She saw no contradiction between mystical

experience and secular activity, and her life is a testimony to the possibility of a

holy life in the marketplace.

St. Bridget of Sweden, ora pro nobis!

Food for the Poor Project

. Hello to all our volunteers.

The new schedule was sent out Sunday, July

22nd. Please mark the days you are

volunteering. Thank you to all who will be

volunteering more than once in the next two

months. We have many volunteers on

vacation. Thanks to all who said yes we’ll help

with extra days. We went to WELCOME

Wayne and Melanie Beighle, who came to our

team with the good works of Don and Marilyn

Robbins who referred their neighbor . THANK

YOU! Our prayers go out to Brian Costello,

father of Romain and Pat Voller, and Sue

Staller, who just joined our team and will join

us next month after surgery. I would like to say

THANK YOU for doing the good works that St

Mother Teresa Calcutta did. The little things

that each person does add up to many big

things with each volunteer. St Mother Teresa

said, and I quote: "Spread love everywhere you

go. Let no one ever come to you without

leaving happier. If we have no peace, it is

because we have forgotten that we belong to

each other.” THANK YOU to all who continue

doing the works of St Mother Teresa. Have a

inspiring week everyone.

I was hungry and you gave me food..

I think with all my heart that if we were aware of what it means to have only one garment, to go to bed hungry night after night, we would live more simply and do more sharing..

Prayer for Refugees and Victims of War Lord God,

no one is a stranger to you and no one is ever far from your loving cae. In your kindness, watch over refugees and

victims of war, those separated from their loved ones,

young people who have left home or who have run away from home. Bring them back safely to the place where they

long to be and help us always to show your kindness

to strangers and to all in need. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. —United States Conference of Bishops

Today there are more than 65 million forcibly

displaced migrants around the world, which is the hhighest number ever in recorded history. If settled in one particular place, they would be

the twenty-first largest country in the world, growing at a rate of 34,000 persons per day, or

24 people per minute. With good reason, our own times have been called “The Age of Migration.”

While most often seen as a socio-political issue, migration is at the heart of oour spiritual

identity. St. Thomas Aquinas, in fact, arranges the whole Summa Theologica around the principle that everything comes from God and

returns to God (Exitus et Reditus). From this vantage point, Jesus’ “migration” to the sinful

territory of our human race in the incarnation and his return migration to the Father through the paschal mystery can be interpreted as “The

Great Migration” of human history.. The first to behold this gift were not

scholars, politicians, or religious leaders but migrant gentiles. Coming from Babylon, Persia, or the Arabian desert, the Magi testified to the

boundless love that would reach across all borders, to all peoples, and for all generations

(Matt 8:11-12; 28:18-20). If the Magi migrated to Bethlehem today, however, they would encounter a 26-foot-high

Wall that now separates the West Bank from Israeli-controlled land.

This means that if Jesus were born in Bethlehem today, he would be born outside the

walls of contemporary Isrrael, at the border, on the margins, in divisive territory, and under the shadow of an imposing barricade. Some local

Palestinian merchants in Bethlehem have picked up on this theme by creating nativity

sets that include a separation-wall that keeps the migrant Magi from paying homage to the migrant Christ child.

The current political geography os the Holy Land sets up a striking contrast between the

human tendency to erect walls and the divine movement to break them down (Eph 2:14). As we reflect on our own journey of faith, how

might we grow closer to the God who bulds bridges instead of walls, makes strangers into

friends, and transforms aliens into children of God? Fr. Daniel Groody

Daniel G. Groody, CSC, is associate professor of theology and global affairs and director of the Global Leadership Program at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of various books and articles on migration, spirituality, globalization, and

justice.

My dear Brothers: In case you didn’t receive

the note I sent out from the website, we have an opportunity to earn $100.00 per volunteer

is we can send volunteers to the AC4GC Oktoberfest. It’s an authentic Oktoberfest, whose

first keg is tapped by the Mayor (Bürgermeisterin) of Peoria, the location of Centennial

Plaza, where the event takes place. We would serve in the late afternoon until 10:00 PM

under a great circus tent. We would be needed to set up on Friday, Oct. 5th, which would

include placing tablecloths on the tables, setting up various vendors, even drawing beer and

selling it (Warsteiner, an excellent German beer). Although October is a couple months

away, AC4GC needs to have such issues as volunteers settled long before. It’s a very large

event, and they cannot wait until the last minute to acquire volunteers. It’s also a reason

that they donate to such groups as the Knights of Columbus. There was another group that

served in the above capacities last year, but because I am a charter member and sat on the

Board of Directors for the first few years, they’ve offered us this opportunity. We’re hoping

for no fewer than 10 volunteers, but we’ll take as many as we can get. Please consider

volunteering and let me know as soon as you can so that AC4GC will know that they have

their needed volunteers, and we will know exactly how much our Council’s financial reward

will be. Thanks for your contribution! Jerry

Installation Dinner

The Installation of the 2018-19 Officers will take place

on August 25, 2018, right after the 5:00 PM Mass in the

Church. If you plan to enjoy dinner and the ceremonies

that follow in the Parish Hall, please RSVP to PGK Jerry

Wood as soon as possible. We’d love to have the

whole Council and the Knights’ wives and children

there for this event. Meet your brothers and their

families who received Knight or Family of the Month

awards this past year. $10.00 donation for adults;

children free. BYOB! Bring your own wine or other

favorite libation. We have our BYOB liicense.

Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary . The Story of the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius

XII defined the Assumption of Mary to be a dogma of faith: “We pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma that

the immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly l ife, was assumed body and

soul to heavenly glory.” The pope proclaimed this dogma only after a broad consultation of bishops,

theologians and laity. There were few dissenting voices. What the pope solemnly declared was already a common belief in the

Catholic Church.

We find homilies on the Assumption going back to the sixth

century. In following centuries, the Eastern Churches held steadily to the doctrine, but some authors in the West were hesitant. However

by the 13th century there was universal agreement. The feast was celebrated under various names–

Commemoration, Dormition, Passing,

Assumption–from at least the fifth or sixth century. Today it is

celebrated as a solemnity.

Scripture does not give an account of

Mary’s Assumption into heaven. Nevertheless, Revelation 12 speaks of a woman who is caught up in the battle between good and evil. Many see this woman

as God’s people. Since Mary best embodies the people of both Old and New Testaments, her Assumption can be seen as an exemplification of the woman’s victory.

Furthermore, in 1 Corinthians 15:20, Paul speaks of Christ’s resurrection as the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Since Mary is closely associated with all the mysteries of Jesus’ l ife, it is not surprising that the Holy Spirit has led the

Church to believe in Mary’s share in his glorification. So close was she to Jesus on earth, she must be with him body and soul in heaven.

Reflection

In the light of the Assumption of Mary, it is easy to pray her

Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) with new meaning. In her glory she proclaims the greatness of the Lord and finds joy in God her savior. God has done marvels to her and she leads others to

recognize God’s hol iness. She is the lowly handmaid who deeply reverenced her God and has been raised to the heights. From her position of strength she will help the lowly and the poor find justice on earth, and she will challenge the

rich and powerful to distrust wealth and power as a source of happiness.
