World Marriage Day - Feb. 12, 2017

It is sponsored by the American organization Worldwide Marriage Encounter, associated

. Its purpose is to honor husband and wife as

the foundation of the family, it salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily married life.

Marriage Prayer: O God, Help us to remember when we

first met, the strong love that grew between us….To work that

love into practical things so nothing can divide us. We ask for

words both kind and loving, And for hearts always ready to

ask forgiveness as well as forgive. Dear Lord, We put our

marriage into Your hands. Amen.

My dear Parishioners,

This past Monday afternoon I drove to the Trappist Monas-

tery in Conyers to join with other women and men of reli-

gious communities serving in the Archdiocese for an even-

ing of prayer and fellowship. Archbishop Gregory initiated

this annual event shortly after he arrived in Atlanta some

twelve years ago. Hosted by the monks and sponsored by

the Office of the Vicar for Consecrated Life, it provides a

wonderful opportunity for us to come together, renew ac-

quaintances, meet new arrivals and celebrate our life togeth-

er. Sister Margaret McAnoy, Vicar for Consecrated Life,

and Brother Callistus of the Monastery plan and coordinate

the whole affair which always occurs on or around March

2nd, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple.

Did you know that more than a dozen religious communities

of men serve in parishes throughout the Archdiocese? The

Marists and the Passionists are among the longest here; the

Jesuits are the newest, serving now at St. Thomas More in

Decatur. As I reflected on the variety of religious commu-

nities in parish ministry in this Archdiocese, I wondered

how many of their parishioners really knew the difference

between secular and religious clergy. One major difference

— secular priests are ordained primarily to serve in parishes

of a particular arch/diocese while religious priests are or-

dained to serve the universal church—to go wherever they

are missioned.

I wondered further, how many St. Paul of the Cross parish-

ioners know that their priests are members of a global reli-

gious community made up of priests and brothers—the Pas-

sionist Congregation. How much do YOU know about the

Passionists, their history, their manner of life, their spiritual-

ity? Are you aware that many laypersons around the world

are associated with vowed members in carrying out the mis-

sion of the Passionist Congregation: to keep alive the

memory of the sufferings of Christ? Could you see yourself

among them? I will pursue this a bit more in this space next

week.

—-Fr. Jerome, C.P.
