Fr. Joseph Marie delivers the homily for our graduating students at the Mass held at 5pm on Saturday, May 7th in the Degol Arena.
Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter (Baccalaureate Mass) "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God." - Isaiah 41:10 Seniors, as you face life beyond this campus community, the biggest challenge you now face amazingly is not what you are going to do next, as important as that is, but more deeply, how you are going to live your life. How will your discipleship affect the way you live, and listen, and actively support others? How will you serve others honestly and selflessly? How will you stand up for justice, human rights, and care for our common home, the earth? How will you reflect peace and reconciliation in society and become a blessing for others through your presence and compassion? As you leave the campus, remember that it is not what you've done here, but who you become out in the world and how you exercise your Christian responsibilities in the future towards your neighbor and the world. United with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, may your future actions serve our world. May Jesus walk with you in all that is to come, and may the Holy Spirit bless you with wisdom and generosity.

Sacred Stories | CommonSpirit Health's Ever-present Values “Compassion is caring with listening, empathy, and love, and accompanying and comforting those in need of healing.” - CommonSpirit Definition of Compassion Recently, a colleague shared a reflection from Henri Nouwen, titled “Compassion is Being With.” “Those who can sit with [another human], not knowing what to say, but knowing that they should be there, can bring new life...” I greatly appreciated that my colleague added his insights on Nouwen's words. He highlighted compassion as one of CommonSpirit Health's core values; that at its essence, compassion translates to being present for and with others. He also told us how he put compassion into action with a man in his Bible study who would soon graduate from a program. My colleague decided to “be present” for this individual and planned to attend this celebration. My colleague's reflection and action inspired gratitude and introspection on my blessings, including when opportunities, life experiences and God's blueprint have intersected. Nearly ten years ago, I was assigned a task that introduced me to the inspirational teachings of the Jesuits. I thought: “If I have an opportunity to pursue further education, it will be at a Jesuit institution.” Recently, I completed my studies at Creighton University. The ritual and celebration, the Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement ceremony, created space for deeper reflection and realization of a long-forgotten wish. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my family could not travel. This caused me to ponder whether I should participate. I shared my dilemma with two CommonSpirit colleagues, who convinced me to attend the exercises as planned. Not only did they offer gentle encouragement, they selflessly demonstrated compassion by clearing their calendars to be present with me at the ceremonies held in Omaha, Nebraska. After the commencement ceremony, we walked around campus for an impromptu photo shoot, including a visit to St. John's Church. As I sat in silence, I felt a warmth wash over me. I thanked God for his guidance and presence and the many CommonSpirit individuals who accompanied and supported me along the way. Unbeknownst to me, a colleague captured that prayerful moment. That picture, and a selfie of us sitting on St. John's steps, represent the culmination of this journey. Through deeper reflection, the interconnectedness of two additional values surfaced: collaboration: building and nurturing meaningful relationships, and excellence: exceeding expectations of others and ourselves. Submitted Anonymously Questions for Reflection Have you experienced the magnitude of one or more of our values from a colleague or patient? If so, how did the expression of the value(s) inspire the way you complete your daily work?

My homily from the Baccalaureate Mass on May 11, 2020
The post 05/27/20-Bishop Brennan- 2020 Baccalaureate Mass Homily appeared first on St Gabriel Catholic Radio.
Here's Bishop Vetter's homily from the Baccalaureate Mass for the class of 2020. John 14:7-14 Jesus said to his disciples:“If you know me, then you will also know my Father.From now on you do know him and have seen him.”Philip said to Jesus,“Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a timeand you still do not know me, Philip?Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,or else, believe because of the works themselves.Amen, amen, I say to you,whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,and will do greater ones than these,because I am going to the Father.And whatever you ask in my name, I will do,so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it.”
DuBois Central Catholic School is hoping to hold a traditional graduation, with perhaps a couple of adjustments for social distancing. DCC President Gretchen Caruso says, because their Class of 2020 has just 30 students, a traditional ceremony is more feasible for them than it would be for other larger school systems. However, this ceremony would not be open to the public and would be limited to just students and their immediate family. Graduation weekend is tentatively scheduled for June 6 and 7, with Baccalaureate Mass that Saturday and the graduation ceremony on Sunday. Listen to the full interview with Gretchen Caruso, president of DuBois Central Catholic School System.
