ACT OF CONSECRATION

TO ST. JOSEPH

2020 is the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St.

Joseph as the patron of the Universal Church. To

commemorate this glorious decree, Father Bauer will

consecrate the parishes of Saint Joseph and Saint Anne

to Saint Joseph after the Masses on October 10 and 11,

2020.

Following the 10 AM Mass on October 11, weather

permitting, the annual outdoor Rosary will be

prayed around the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.

All are encouraged to participate to pray for our

country during these tumultuous times.

Pandemic Prayer May we who are merely inconvenienced

Remember those whose lives are at stake.

May we who have no risk factors

Remember those most vulnerable.

May we who have the luxury of working from home

Remember those who must choose between

preserving their health or making their rent.

May we who have the flexibility to care for our

children when their schools close

Remember those who have no options.

May we who have to cancel our trips

Remember those that have no safe place to go.

May we who are losing our margin money in the

tumult of the economic market

Remember those who have no margin at all.

May we who settle in for a quarantine at home

Remember those who have no home.

As fear grips our country, let us choose love.

During this time when we cannot physically wrap our

arms around each other,

Let us yet find ways to be the loving arms of God to

our neighbors. Amen.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit Open Us

to Divine Inspirations The gifts — wisdom, understanding, counsel,

fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord —

help us live our lives in accordance with God’s plan.

WISDOM “And wisdom is precisely

this: it is the grace of being

able to see everything with

the eyes of God. It is

simply this: it is to see the

world, to see situations,

circumstances, problems,

every-thing through God’s

eyes.” — Pope Francis, papal audience April 9, 2014.

Typical images of wise people depict them as aged

beneficiaries of long experience with handling life’s

realities.

Young people can act wisely too. Youthful

confidence in the future may combine with faith in

life’s goodness to motivate both the young and old to

offer the best they can to make it better.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains that

giving the best of ourselves lies at the heart of the

virtues (CCC 1803), and wisdom is virtuous. Wisdom

is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit that

“complete and perfect the virtues of those who

receive them.” (CCC 1831).

Common notions of wisdom tend to reduce it to a set-

in-stone quality “possessed by” those who know what

to do and when to do it. The wisdom Christian

tradition speaks of seems more multidimensional than

that, however.

Wisdom moves people into action, but not the

reckless action of those who rush in where angels fear

to tread. Wisdom is geared to making decisions that

demonstrate awareness of what truly is at stake in

situations involving oneself, others and the world —

situations that call us all to give the best of ourselves.

In simpler terms, wisdom means exercising good

judgment. It calls for a willingness to discover, to

discern what a situation staring us in the face involves

and what others genuinely need, not solely what we

need or want. Living Our Faith – St. Louis Review
