Saint Ephraem, the Sourpuss
At my parish today we celebrated a Saint Augustine and his 100 or so Chinese martyrs--maybe this guy and friends took the place of Saint Ephraem? But, we don't know much about a lot of these early Christians but how do we know this guy or Saint Jerome were 'sourpusses?'
I do like how in this case the pastor sequed from Saint Ephraem to being happier. Last night as I was flipping channels and I paused to hear Joel Osteen, he spoke about that same thing. He says we must smile more. He says even if we have to train ourselves to smile more.
Anyway, I thought this passage was interesting on a couple of different levels:
http://www.seaseton.org/July%208%20bulletin.pdf
July 9 Feast of Saint Ephraem, the Sourpuss
In 363 the Iranians, called Persians in those days, invaded Iraq, called Mesopotamia at the time. In the wake of this war, Ephraem, a Christian deacon, fled to live the rest of his life in a cave. He was given the title “Harp of the Holy Spirit” because he composed numerous hymns. Yet Ephraem, the ancient scrolls state, never laughed or smiled. Our Father, who are in heaven, deliver us from temptation and from saints who never smile or laugh – even as they compose music! This feast of Serious Ephraem is a good day to petition Rome to canonize funny saints, those holy women and men who by their good humor make us, and God smile. #1048577;#1048578;
Studies show the muscles in the face are capable of over 250,000 different combinations of expressions! We also know that it takes many more facial muscles to frown than to smile. Today, give your facial muscles a rest and smile more. Each day we have a basic choice: to be a sourpuss or a sweetand-smiling-puss (puss is American slang for mouth or face, from the Irish pus for mouth or lip). Ralph Waldo Emerson said that our face reveals what the spirit is doing. It does not lie but makes a faithful confession. Poor Ephraem, while a holy man, must have a sour soul. It’s strange that religion seems to require a sober if not sour appearance lest the world think we are having too good a time enjoying life here on earth. Laughter is rare in holy places and often among so called holy people.
Religion is not the only one guilty of causing a sour face. In daily life, where hardships seem to abound, wearing a smile and being happy is usually considered a sign that you don’t comprehend the problems facing the world and, therefore, must be simpleminded. If you monitor gatherings of friends and family, notice how often conversations center on the negative subjects: how bad is life, young people, the
world, their work, their…, the litany of woes goes on and on. Beware if you lack any problems that make you grim faced, for others will start giving you some of theirs to carry. The issue isn’t problems – everyone has problems. Rather, it is how you respond to them. For the soul, problems are the stuff of holiness, the raw material for working with God to transform our various situations into opportunities for greatness.
As you go about your activities today, remember that your face is the window of your soul. Don’t pull down a window shade, wearing a half-face to cover what’s in your soul. Rather, by spiritual exercise make your soul full of God – and so, your face full of joy.

not busting chops but Brooke says she watched Borat last night. She tells me it was a PG rated one? One with some of the scenes blurred out or so.
Never heard of this. I guess they make a censored one for airplanes/ tv but she said it was on-demand.
I don't like censorship but have been noting some of the kids tv viewing habits lately and not sure I like the message?
She has watched it before but under close adult supervision. Even with that--she still shouldn't be watching it--nor the boys but less concerned with them--even though they cant watch certain parts. I, even thought the nude male wrestling scene was disturbing.
Anyway--no lecture intended/ no chop busting--hopefully she didn't watch the version shown at the movies/ dvd as she says.
Thanks once again for the kind hospitality

Sacred Heart Vol Opportunites
I spoke with Msgr. Parry this week about trying to get some more adult religious education opportunites established at Sacred Heart. He said you had e-mailed him just recently and that you were interested in the something similar. He asked me to contact you and gave me your e-mail. I would like to speak with you some about it and see if you are interested in helping out. Unfortunately, this is a very busy week for me, but could you call me next week, or your earliest convenience after that? My phone number is .
I have several ideas that Msgr,. Parry wants me to follow-up on. We hope to have a program or two established by the fall, and are just getting some very preliminary work started.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Man in the Arena
Man in the Arena --
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit
belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by
dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short
again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming,
but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself
for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high
achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Summorum Pontificum
Apostolic Letter "Summorum Pontificum" issued Motu Prorpio
Benedict XVI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Saturday 7 July 2007 Pope Benedict XVI issued an Apostolic Letter on the celebration of the Roman Rite according to the Missal of 1962. The following text is a partial and unofficial Vatican translation of the official Latin text, and is missing the introductory paragraphs. EWTN will provide them as soon as they are available.
Accompanying Letter of Pope Benedict
(. . .)
Our predecessor John Paul II having already considered the insistent petitions of these faithful, having listened to the views of the Cardinal Fathers of the Consistory of 22 March 2006, having reflected deeply upon all aspects of the question, invoked the Holy Spirit and trusting in the help of God, with these Apostolic Letters We establish the following:
Art. 1 The Roman Missal promulgated by Paul VI is the ordinary expression of the Lex orandi (Law of prayer) of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite. Nonetheless, the Roman Missal promulgated by St. Pius V and reissued by Bl. John XXIII is to be considered as an extraordinary expression of that same Lex orandi, and must be given due honour for its venerable and ancient usage. These two expressions of the Church's Lex orandi will in no any way lead to a division in the Church's Lex credendi (Law of belief). They are, in fact two usages of the one Roman rite.
It is, therefore, permissible to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass following the typical edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Bl. John XXIII in 1962 and never abrogated, as an extraordinary form of the Liturgy of the Church. The conditions for the use of this Missal as laid down by earlier documents Quattuor abhinc annis and Ecclesia Dei, are substituted as follows:
Art. 2 In Masses celebrated without the people, each Catholic priest of the Latin rite, whether secular or regular, may use the Roman Missal published by Bl. Pope John XXIII in 1962, or the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1970, and may do so on any day with the exception of the Easter Triduum. For such celebrations, with either one Missal or the other, the priest has no need for permission from the Apostolic See or from his Ordinary.
Art. 3 Communities of Institutes of consecrated life and of Societies of apostolic life, of either pontifical or diocesan right, wishing to celebrate Mass in accordance with the edition of the Roman Missal promulgated in 1962, for conventual or "community" celebration in their oratories, may do so. If an individual community or an entire Institute or Society wishes to undertake such celebrations often, habitually or permanently, the decision must be taken by the Superiors Major, in accordance with the law and following their own specific decrees and statues.
Art. 4 Celebrations of Mass as mentioned above in art. 2 may - observing all the norms of law - also be attended by faithful who, of their own free will, ask to be admitted.
Art. 5 § 1 In parishes, where there is a stable group of faithful who adhere to the earlier liturgical tradition, the pastor should willingly accept their requests to celebrate the Mass according to the rite of the Roman Missal published in 1962, and ensure that the welfare of these faithful harmonises with the ordinary pastoral care of the parish, under the guidance of the bishop in accordance with canon 392, avoiding discord and favouring the unity of the whole Church.
§ 2 Celebration in accordance with the Missal of Bl. John XXIII may take place on working days; while on Sundays and feast days one such celebration may also be held.
§ 3 For faithful and priests who request it, the pastor should also allow celebrations in this extraordinary form for special circumstances such as marriages, funerals or occasional celebrations, e.g. pilgrimages.
§ 4 Priests who use the Missal of Bl. John XXIII must be qualified to do so and not juridically impeded.
§ 5 In churches that are not parish or conventual churches, it is the duty of the Rector of the church to grant the above permission.
Art. 6 In Masses celebrated in the presence of the people in accordance with the Missal of Bl. John XXIII, the readings may be given in the vernacular, using editions recognised by the Apostolic See.
Art. 7 If a group of lay faithful, as mentioned in art. 5 § 1, has not obtained satisfaction to their requests from the pastor, they should inform the diocesan bishop. The bishop is strongly requested to satisfy their wishes. If he cannot arrange for such celebration to take place, the matter should be referred to the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei".
Art. 8 A bishop who, desirous of satisfying such requests, but who for various reasons is unable to do so, may refer the problem to the Commission "Ecclesia Dei" to obtain counsel and assistance.
Art. 9 § 1 The pastor, having attentively examined all aspects, may also grant permission to use the earlier ritual for the administration of the Sacraments of Baptism, Marriage, Penance, and the Anointing of the Sick, if the good of souls would seem to require it.
§ 2 Ordinaries are given the right to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation using the earlier Roman Pontifical, if the good of souls would seem to require it.
§ 2 Clerics ordained "in sacris constitutis" may use the Roman Breviary promulgated by Bl. John XXIII in 1962.
Art. 10 The ordinary of a particular place, if he feels it appropriate, may erect a personal parish in accordance with can. 518 for celebrations following the ancient form of the Roman rite, or appoint a chaplain, while observing all the norms of law.
Art. 11 The Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei", erected by John Paul II in 1988, continues to exercise its function. Said Commission will have the form, duties and norms that the Roman Pontiff wishes to assign it.
Art. 12 This Commission, apart from the powers it enjoys, will exercise the authority of the Holy See, supervising the observance and application of these dispositions.
We order that everything We have established with these Apostolic Letters issued as Motu Proprio be considered as "established and decreed", and to be observed from 14 September of this year, Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, whatever there may be to the contrary.
From Rome, at St. Peter's, 7 July 2007, third year of Our Pontificate.

If tons of food--Sharon and I have combined adult meals and splurged on a 2 ticket meal--maybe we will need a night just for adults one night.
If fold out sofa is still open I am sure kids would love that as well.

We loved the work you did on all the cool names.
We havent decided on any yet
Sharon doesnt like the names I have come up with:
Wolfgang, Wolfie
Rutager
Seven
NumberFour
Nor all of Max's hip-hop names: Lebron, Pippen, etc
We do like the name: William--but I dont like Bill or Billy although I think both Sharon and I both have 2 uncles a piece named William or Bill.
We love the Saint names and more play to the last two Popes:
John Paul
Benedict
Maybe William JPII Scheidhauer
Thanks again, Olivia and great job on swimming and I noticed you beat many of your old times and that is they key to keep improving

I was there about 230 or so and saw they were sitting out.
I am not sure what Deacon Ed will do when there are competing events. It seems the other event has the say and seem to rule the roost.
Casseroles looked good and smelled very good. I am sure there was some good eating that night
Thanks

4th of July
Jeff and Terry,
Thanks again so much for the great 4th of July!! It was one of our best ever. The kids had such a fun time and fell asleep within 2 minutes I think of leaving. Max and Jack talked about the swimming in the bay/river the most--said that was really fun. Brooke said her favorite part was the boats, crabs, and playing with cousins. We know you went to a lot of work and expense so we just wanted to thank you again for everything--we really enjoyed it!

Catholic Day, Week, and Month
The Catholic Day, Week, and Month
The Catholic Day has its own rhythm, and each day of the week and each month has a special devotional emphasis.
Day
The hours of the day are broken up into the Canonical Hours during which priests, religious, and some pious laymen pray from the Breviary. At 6AM, Noon, and 6PM the Angelus is prayed.
Some Catholics might pray, instead or in addition to the above, the Morning Offering upon awakening, and make a Nightly Examination of Conscience at night, just before bed.
Week
Fridays are penitential days and Catholics are to keep in mind Christ's suffering and to sacrifice something for the sake of penance and discipline. Catholics fulfill this duty by abstaining from meat and making other penances.
Saturdays are, traditionally, the days Catholics go to Confession in preparation for receiving the Eucharist on Sundays. Some Catholics might make a habit of going to Confession on Saturdays; other might go before Mass on Sunday, or might go only when they need to confess, or on some other schedule.
Sundays are, of course, the day for renewing Christ's once and for all Sacrifice during the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Because Christ rose from His tomb on Sunday, Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sundays, or "the Lord's Day." On this day we fulfill God's Third Commandment, to "remember the sabbath day [which means "rest", not "Saturday"], to keep it holy." We refrain from unecessary servile work and fulfill our "Sunday Obligation" to attend Mass.
Day of the Week
Dedicated to:
Mystery of the Rosary
traditionally prayed:
Sunday
Resurrection & the Holy and Undivided Trinity
Glorious
Monday The Holy Ghost & the Souls in Purgatory
Joyful
Tuesday The Holy Angels 1
Sorrowful
Wednesday St. Joseph 2
Glorious
Thursday The Blessed Sacrament 3

Friday Christ's Passion and His Sacred Heart 4

February The Holy Family
March St. Joseph
April The Blessed Sacrament
May Mary
June Sacred Heart of Jesus
July The Precious Blood
August Immaculate Heart of Mary
September Seven Dolours (Sorrows) of Mary
October The Holy Rosary (and, less formally, the Holy Angels)
November Poor Souls in Purgatory
December The Immaculate Conception
Footnotes:
1 Tuesdays are also the day for honoring the Holy Face and, unofficially, honoring St. Anthony of Padua. On the Tuesday after St. Anthony's death, the day his funeral cortege took his body to the church, many miracles took place, so this day is commemorated in his honor, often by praying a Novena to St. Anthony either for thirteen consecutive Tuesdays or perpetually.
A special Novena to St. Martha is also made on 9 consecutive Tuesdays or on all Tuesdays by some Catholics.
2 On Wednesdays, many Catholics make a special devotion to St. Joseph by going to Mass on the first Wednesdays of 9 consecutive months and offering their Communions in his honor and for the salvation of the dying..
3 On Thursdays, many Catholics make "Holy Hour," that is, they spend an hour in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as an aspect of devotion to the Sacred Heart.
4 On Fridays, many Catholics make what is known as the "First Fridays Devotion" in honor of the Sacred Heart. This entails going to Mass and receiving Communion in reparation to the Sacred Heart on the first Friday of the month for 9 consecutive months. See Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus..
5 On Saturdays, many Catholics make what is called the "First Saturdays Devotion" which entails going to Mass and receiving Communion for the first Saturday of the month for 5 consecutive months in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. See Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

i wanted to ask you about fasting. Real fasting not the one main meal and two smaller meals.
Is there a special day for fasting?
We, as a family refrain from meat on Fridays--but Id also like to fast as well.

Communion Unworthily
First Corinthians 11:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
