Mother and Son who went to Guatemala on the Padre Apla's Leadership Program - named for Blessed Stanley Rother

Full Text of ReadingsSeventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 110The Saint of the day is Blessed Stanley RotherBlessed Stanley Rother’s Story On May 25, 1963, Stanley Francis Rother, a farmer’s son from Okarche, Oklahoma, was ordained for his home diocese of Oklahoma City-Tulsa. Having flunked out of the area seminary due to his difficulty with Latin, Fr. Rother finally accepted an invitation to attend Mount St. Mary Seminary in Maryland, where he finished his studies and was approved for ordination. After serving in his local diocese for five years, Fr. Rother joined five priests, three religious sisters, and three laypersons to staff a Guatemalan mission in Santiago Atitlán serving the Tz’utujil people. The Oklahoma City diocese heard the call of Pope John XXIII to send missionaries to foreign lands, especially Central America. These twelve individuals felt the call, and with their bishop's approval, left the comforts of the United States to live and work in Guatemala. By 1975, Fr. Rother was alone at his parish in Santiago Atitlán, the others having returned home for various reasons. He served the Tz’utujil people for 13 years and won their hearts and souls. Ever the farmer, and always unpretentious and mild mannered, Fr. Rother experimented with various crops as well as fulfilling his heavy pastoral duties which included as many as five Masses in four different locations on a given Sunday and as many as 1,000 baptisms a year. Guatemala's civil war reached the highlands and Lake Atitlán by 1980. Government troops camped on the parish farm and Fr. Rother witnessed the assassination of a number of his parishioners, including the parish deacon. Warned of imminent danger, Fr. Rother returned to the United States for three months early in 1981, to visit with his family and friends. Against the advice of his family and the local bishop, Fr. Rother returned to Atitlán to be with his people. He remembered a Sisters’ community who had fled the country and later tried to return but the people asked, “Where were you when we needed you?” On the evening of July 28, three masked men entered the rectory and shot Fr. Rother to death. His beloved parishioners mourned him repeatedly crying, “They have killed our priest.” Pope Francis declared Stanley Rother a martyr on December 2, 2016. He was beatified in Oklahoma City on September 23, 2017. Reflection The declaration of a blessed or saint is always a celebration of the Church as the people of God. To single out an individual for his or her holiness and service builds up the entire community of faith. But this is doubly true for the Church in the United States and in Oklahoma, as one of our own is both declared a martyr for the faith and enrolled in the ranks of those declared Blessed by the Church. May the dedication, faith, and service of Blessed Stanley Rother be a source of strength for all in this country. Learn more about Blessed Stanley Rother!

In this week's episode, we reflect on the role both joy and sorrow simultaneously play in our lives. We chat about how pressing into grief allows us to more fully experience joy, and how when we try to numb ourselves to the sorrow we also numb ourselves to the experience of joy. We also talk about the importance of naming disappointments, intentionally maturing in our faith, and what we have personally learned while grieving the loss of a parent. When we learn to suffer well and meet God in the midst of our sufferings, we can reach a deep joy we never thought possible.    Heather's One Thing - Attending and speaking at SEEK ‘24.  Watch my session here. Sister Miriam's One Thing - Therapist's Conference with the JPII Healing Center Michelle's One Thing - Nick Sabn Retiring From College Football    Announcement: We are excited to announce that our Lenten book study will be: A Time of Renewal: Daily Reflections for the Lenten Season by Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C. Visit our website for more information!   Journal Questions: What paradoxes am I called to live in right now? How can I bring the Lord into my disappointments? Am I more prone to pushing my emotions aside or letting my emotions rule my life (emotional gluttony)? In seasons of grief, who are the people who have been my midwives and accompanied me through those seasons?   Discussion Questions: What disappointments have you experienced this past year? Is it hard for you to be honest with God about those disappointments? What is God redeeming and restoring in your life? In a current disappointment or heartbreak you are feeling, what gratitude are you experiencing alongside it? What gifts of daily bread is the Lord providing for you in this season?   Quote to Ponder: “Our life is a short time in expectation, a time in which sadness and joy kiss each other at every moment. There is a quality of sadness that pervades all the moments of our lives. It seems that there is no such thing as a clear-cut pure joy, but that even in the most happy moments of our existence we sense a tinge of sadness. In every satisfaction, there is an awareness of limitations. In every success, there is the fear of jealousy. Behind every smile, there is a tear. In every embrace, there is loneliness. In every friendship, distance. And in all forms of light, there is the knowledge of surrounding darkness . . . But this intimate experience in which every bit of life is touched by a bit of death can point us beyond the limits of our existence. It can do so by making us look forward in expectation to the day when our hearts will be filled with perfect joy, a joy that no one shall take away from us.” (Henri J.M. Nouwen, Making All Things New: An Invitation to the Spiritual Life)   Scripture for Lectio:  He turns my mourning into dancing. You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever. (Psalm 30:11-12)   Sponsor - Pilgrimage to Beauty: Pilgrimage to Beauty (www.pilgrimagetobeauty.com/abidingtogether) creates transformative experiences of true rest and retreat, for couples or individuals wired for adventure. Whether you're an adventurer or a contemplative, Pilgrimage to Beauty invites you to Guatemala July 24-31, 2024 for a unique encounter with Blessed Stanley Rother in the Mayan village he served and died for only 43 years ago.

The deacons speak with Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda, author of "The Shepherd Who Didn't Run: Fr. Stanley Rother, Martyr from Oklahoma." It's the story of Blessed Stanley Rother (1935 - 1981), a priest from Oklahoma who served as a missionary with the Tzʼutujil people in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala. He was murdered by gunmen on July 28, 1981. In 2016, Pope Francis confirmed that Fr. Stanley died a martyr. He was beatified in 2017, the first U.S.-born priest to reach this step in the canonization process. ABOUT THE SHOW: Deacons Pod is a podcast for everyone. But, it's especially created to inspire and give hope to people on the “threshold of faith”: Those who are thinking about going to Church and those who are thinking about leaving Church. Deacons Pod is hosted by Deacon Tom Casey, Deacon Drew Dickson, and Deacon Dennis Dolan, all permanent deacons who are Paulist Deacon Affiliates. The podcast is a production of the Paulist Fathers.

Tommy talks about the differences between therapy and spiritual direction, introduces listeners to Blessed Stanley Rother, and answers listener questions about how the faith relates to Overeaters Anonymous, how to approach confession when it leaves us feeling like we did something wrong, and how to understand mental health and marital harmony in the context of the Church's teaching on Natural Family Planning.

The Kingdom of God is all or nothing, like the pearl of great price we cannot divide it. Blessed Stanley Rother is a model of someone who understood this. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Readings are found at bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071521.cfm Give feedback at goo.gl/forms/iG1Tvk4cHTGhdOWz2

July 28th is the Memorial of Blessed Stanley Rother. Father O'Brien and Father Kerry celebrate this feast by telling the story of this Oklahoma priest and martyr who was killed in 1981 for standing with his people in the face of opposition.    

Father Nicholas Blank, a Parochial Vicar at the Basilica of Saint Mary, shares the stories of Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko and Blessed Stanley Rother and how their lives impacted his decision to become a priest. This lecture was part of our 2019 Summer Faith and Culture Series. It was recorded on July 18, 2019.  Founded in 1795, the Basilica of Saint Mary in Old Town Alexandria is the first Catholic parish established in Virginia. Pope Francis named the church a minor basilica on December 6, 2017 due to its important role in the growth of the Catholic Church in North America.

In this episode, Andrew visits with Peter de Keratry, Executive Director of Stewardship & Development for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City as well as co-Founder of Petrus Development. Peter's first real job in development started while he was still an undergraduate at Texas A&M, raising money for the St. Mary's Catholic Center. Since then, Peter has had a significant impact on the development landscape across the Church and around the world. In this episode, we talk about how Peter learned the art and science of fundraising, why and how they founded Petrus Development and what Peter thinks is the most important thing that any development professional can do for his or her organization. Show Notes: Peter began his development career as a student at Texas A&M working on a building campaign for St. Mary's Catholic Center. He can still remember his first time attending St. Mary's when he “felt the hair on the back of my neck the first time I stood in Church and sang the Our Father.”Fr. Mike Sis invited Peter to help raise $4M to a build a new student center and chapel for St. Mary's. It took over 3 years but they were successful. Peter attributes much of that success to the team of committed volunteers that Fr. Mike assembled to help. They had a core team of three couples: Vince and Judy Sweat, George and Mary Elizabeth Dresser, and Kevin and Anne O'Neill. Also helping was Dr. Ed Davis, Frank Shannon, Porter Garner and many others. Peter also met an alumnus named Carl Raba. Carl taught Peter a valuable lesson. In a meeting, Carl told Peter, “You are clearly very uncomfortable doing this. You need to stop apologizing and ask me for a gift. This is my outlet for impacting this ministry.”After graduating, Peter went to work for CCS as a fundraising consultant. There he learned the value of “process” in fundraising. This helped him later on as he helped Frank Shannon run a successful $100M capital campaign for the Citadel. Peter learned a valuable lesson from a donor at the Citadel. This donor encouraged him to “stop thinking of these gifts in the context of his own economics.” Major donors have significantly more wealth and capacity than development officers and can give greater amounts. Asks to donors should be “commensurate with the donors' ability to give.”After the Citadel, Peter founded Petrus along with John Flynn. Peter and John desired to help Catholic campus ministries learn how to fundraise so that they could reach more students on college campuses across the country. The Church has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Catholic colleges but very little in Catholic campus ministry. Since its founding, Petrus has worked with over 100 Catholic ministries. Peter feels proud to have been part of something that has affected the Catholic Church in such a positive way. One of Peter's favorite experiences as a consulting was working with Tim Krug who worked for the campus ministry at the University of Wisconsin. Tim was overwhelmed after a Petrus Conference and Peter advised him to call three people, sit down with them in their home and ask each of them for $1,000 per year for 3 years. This the heart of what we have to do in development. Peter is currently working for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Archbishop Coakley is leading the archdiocese in a capital campaign to build a shrine for Blessed Stanley Rother. Blessed Stanley served as a priest of the diocese and was martyred in Guatemala in 1981 for his faith. The people of Oklahoma have supported this project because they feel like “Blessed Stanley is our saint!”http://stanleyrother.org/Peter teaches young development officers that it is not okay to continue to ask for small gifts if they are professional development officers. As a professional fundraiser, people have got to be asking for gifts that are meaningful and impactful for the organization. “You've got to step it up a notch, both in activity and in what you are asking for.”Peter also attended the Masters of Arts in Philanthropy and Development program at Saint Mary's University in Minnesota. https://www.smumn.edu/academics/graduate/business-technology/programs/m.a.-in-philanthropy-development For more information about Peter de Keratry and his work and to connect with him, visit https://www.petrusdevelopment.com or https://archokc.org/stewardship.

First beatified US natural citizen.

Austin and Anthony share the incredible story of Blessed Stanley Rother, a priest from Oklahoma who could very well become the first male saint born in the United States. Fr Stanley served as a missionary in Guatemala during that country's fierce civil war, ultimately being martyred. His feast day is July 28th.

Convo with Kyle: Bishop Rhoades and Kyle talk about the newly Beatified Blessed Stanley Rother, the first American born priest, and Martyr. He was from Oklahoma who served as a missionary priest in Guatemala. What can we learn from him today? Then they discuss St. Francis of Assisi (feast day October 4) and how God called him to 'rebuild his church'. Listener Questions: what is the policy about a priest who has left the priesthood and may want to get married after that? Fasting before Communion and Mass If the human body is to be kept together after death, why are saint bones able to be separated from the rest of their bodies as relics? Could a priest wear crazy color/patterned socks instead of plain dark socks with his black slacks or habit? ------ Truth in Charity is brought to you in part by Notre Dame Federal Credit Union. ------ Live: www.redeemerradio.com Follow us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram @RedeemerRadio Submit your question(s): Call / Text (Holy Cross College text line) - 260-436-9598 Online - www.RedeemerRadio.com/AskBishop E-mail - AskBishop@RedeemerRadio.com Subscribe to the Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | SoundCloud | RSS
