In a dramatic one-man performance by

Leonardo Defilippis, Maximilian opens

with the young Raymond Kolbe, son of

devout Polish parents, expressing his

desire to be a priest. In spite of the trials

he encounters as a seminarian, he is

sustained in his journey to the priesthood

by a vision from the Blessed Mother who

offers him the choice between two

crowns - one of purity or one of

martyrdom. He boldly chooses both.

This now sets the stage for the unfurling

of the intense plot.

The program runs about 90 minutes.

Belated Thanksgiving

I would like to thank Linda Sloan and

all of the volunteers that assisted her with

the Easter Baskets for those in need.

Inevitably, I will forget people to thank

while issuing public thanksgivings (which

is why I generally skip them, so as not to

offend those I forget). It dawned on me

at Communion when I saw Linda that I

did not thank her, but then was distracted

at the end of Mass.

So, I would like to apologize to her and

anyone else that I missed.

St. Luke Productions

I am grateful that we are able to host

Leonardo and his stage manager, Joseph,

for the production of St. Maximilian

Kolbe. It is an honor to be able to bring

productions in like this to the area for the

spiritual edification and enjoyment not

only of parishioners, but also, the region.

I would like to thank Michelle for

hosting Leonardo and Joseph for dinner

during the week (we put both of them up

at the former convent between shows)

and for all of those who are volunteering

with the performance Sunday evening.

CDL. SARAH: BAD FAITH CAUSES

BAD LITURGY

by Bradley Eli, M.Div.,

NEWS/ARTICLE/CDL.-SARAH-BAD-

FAITH-CAUSES-BAD-LITURGY

"WE CANNOT CLOSE OUR EYES TO

THE DISASTER ... CAUSED BY

REMODELING THE CHURCH'S

LITURGY"

(ChurchMilitant.com) - Cardinal Robert

Sarah, the Vatican's head liturgist, is

saying the destruction of the liturgy

resulted in a crisis of faith for Catholics.

In his address to a liturgical conference

held in Germany on Friday, the prefect

for the Congregation of Divine Worship,

drew heavily on the insights of Pope

Emeritus Benedict XVI as he warned,

"Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger tirelessly

repeated that the crisis that has shaken the

Church for fifty years, chiefly since

Vatican Council II, is connected with the

crisis of the liturgy."

He then directly quotes from the

writings of then-Cdl. Ratzinger. "I am

convinced," he writes, "that the crisis in

the Church that we are experiencing

today is to a large extent due to the

disintegration of the liturgy."

I am convinced that the crisis in the

Church that we are experiencing today is

to a large extent due to the disintegration

of the liturgy.

Archbishop Alexander Sample of

Portland, Oregon, presented a talk at the

same conference, "The Source of the

Future," in which he called for "an

authentic renewal of the sacred liturgy."

He also said that right faith is dependent

upon right liturgy. "I am firmly of the

mind," said Abp. Sample, "that if we do

not get the liturgy right, we will continue

to experience many of the other problems

in our common ecclesial life."

A major problem with modern

liturgy identified by Cdl. Sarah was the

appearance of innovations that pushed

people to activity and pre-occupation

during Mass instead of promoting

authentic worship: “It is necessary to

recognize that the serious, profound crisis

that has affected the liturgy and the

Church itself since the council is due to

the fact that its center is no longer God

and the adoration of Him, but rather men

and their alleged ability to "do" something

to keep themselves busy during the

Eucharistic celebrations.”

Sarah noted that the crisis of faith caused

by misguided liturgical practices can't be

overlooked any longer: "[W]e cannot

close our eyes to the disaster, the

devastation and the schism that the

modern promoters of a living liturgy

caused by remodeling the Church's liturgy

according to their ideas."

He highlights the fact that these

reformers forgot that a "liturgical act is

not just a prayer, but also and above all a

mystery in which something is

accomplished for us that we cannot fully

understand."

The cardinal explains that participation

at Mass isn't external so much as it is

internal: "It is not about exclusively

external activity, the distribution of roles

or of functions in the liturgy but rather

about an intensely active receptivity."

Even priests and bishops have a

problem of seeing the Mass as sacrifice,

says Cdl. Sarah. "The serious crisis of

faith, not only at the level of the Christian

faithful but also and especially among

many priests and bishops, has made us

incapable of understanding the

Eucharistic liturgy as a sacrifice."

He notes that instead of seeing the Mass

as a sacrifice, clerics and liturgical

reformers often see the Mass as a

"convivial meal" or the "community's

celebration of itself."

Cardinal Sarah says many prelates

refuse to see the crisis for what it is.

"Many refuse to face up to the Church’s

work of self-destruction through the

deliberate demolition of her doctrinal,

l i turgical, moral and pastoral

foundations," he comments.

He adds that in this crisis the number of

heretical prelates is continuing to grow:

"[M]ore and more voices of high-ranking

prelates stubbornly affirm obvious

doctrinal, moral and liturgical errors that

have been condemned a hundred times

and work to demolish the little faith

remaining in the people of God."

According to him, bad liturgy is

sometimes preferred as a diversion owing

to a guilty conscience that stems "from

the fear of meeting God face to face,

because His glance unveils and obliges us

to look truly and unflinchingly at the

ugliness of our interior life."

PRAYER FOR THE RETURN OF NON-PRACTICING CATHOLICS

Good Shepherd, You never cease to seek out the lost, to call home the stray, to comfort the frightened, and to bind

up the wounded.

I ask You to bring the people I hold in my heart back to the practice of the

Faith, and to remove all obstacles that prevent them from receiving Your

abundant mercy, which flows sacramentally through the heart of

Your holy Church.

Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God, their Guardian Angels,

their Patron Saints, and the ever-prayerful St. Monica, may You pardon

their sins and unshackle them from whatever hinders their freedom to

come Home. For You, O Good Shepherd, have loved

us to the end and offered Yourself to the Father for the salvation of all.

Amen.

Boys Group will meet

Church Decorating for Easter Once again, we were blessed

with a great crew of people

who came on Holy Saturday to

help decorate the church for

Easter. In less than 2 hours, 16 people

transformed the church from the stark

barren-ness of Holy Week & Good

Friday to be ready for the beautiful

celebration of Our Lord’s Glorious

Resurrection!

There were many “regulars” who came

to help: they bring with them their

experience for placing the flowers,

setting up the altar, draping the balcony,

preparing and replacing candles and

countless other tasks, to be ready for the

Easter celebration. We also had several

new parish members (including our very

newest member who is barely one month

old!) who came eager to help - new

acquaintances were made and everyone

wo r k e d t o g e t he r wi t h e a s e .

We are so blessed with our Parish

Family - thank you for sharing your time

and talent for the Glory and Honor of

God and the good of our St. Anthony

Parish!

Thank you so

much for the

lovely prayer

blanket made for

me and all the

praying for me.

Please continue

to pray for me.

Thank you

Georgia

Sandy,

Thanks a lot!
