Father Steven and Dad both attended the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress the past weekend and shared their experiences.The 2024 National Eucharistic Congress was the first held since 1976.   This gathering was the culmination of several years of work in coordination with the National Eucharistic Revival.     Eucharistic procession pilgrimages from the North, South, East and West all converged on Indianapolis for the start of the Congress.Dad had not originally planned on attending but on the Sunday prior to the Congress Father Steven suggested that he drive down for the Saturday session.Father Steven attended Wednesday through Saturday.   He found a daily rhythm of mass, different tracks of sessions, an exhibition hall and evening keynote speakers.    One of the session tracks was for priests.Dad jumped in "mid-stream" with the Congress for 1 day on Saturday.    There were many things to see and Dad planned his day to see as much as possible.A highlight of Saturday for both Father Steven and Dad was the Eucharistic Procession through downtown Indianapolis.Ultimately, what matters most is what fruit this Congress bears.

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020.     In Today's Show At my FSSP and ICKSP churches, they have dress codes. It doesn't really bother me because I always dress "correctly" for mass. But wouldn't this turn away sinners? What is the cover used for chant pages? I've seen them, usually in the Liturgical Color of that season, in the Traditional Mass, though usually in Pontifical Liturgies. What is it called? Matthew 23:9 says "Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven". Why are Catholic priests called Father? If Jesus came to fulfill the law of Moses, then did He also fulfill the Ten Commandments, or are those still in full force? Questions about the validity of various versions of the St. Benedict / Miraculous Medals Can a traditional priest from the FSSP or ICKSP celebrate the Novus Ordo Mass occasionally, if for example he is visiting a church back home and wants to do that for parishioners? I know the Constitutions of these societies mention the exclusive celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, but does this Constitution actually forbid a priest of such a community to say the Ordinary Form? My questions revolved around receiving communion during mass. I've been baptized and received my first communion when I was younger. During mass everyone receives it but I'm hesitant to get up because I always had an understanding that you must confess before mass to receive communion, which no one does here. I also was not married through the church, which I always understood makes me not able to receive communion. I really want to receive communion on Sundays but am unsure because I don't want to do it and end up not being able to and disobey God. So my question is: Is it okay for me, or should I not? I am discerning a vocation. I believe I will enter seminary in a few years, and I have some questions about it. How well must I know latin, how hard is it in seminary? Do I have to learn any more languages? Also, I am bad at singing! In today's Gospel, what did Our Lord mean by "Render what belongs to Cesar to Cesar and render what belongs to God to God? I heard the Gospel on the radio but missed the homily. I was in a Eucharistic Procession this past Corpus Christi Sunday and the Monstrance had no canopy above it and the Deacon was carrying it.  Wondering why this may have been? In the TLM, should we strike or beat our chest three times at the Consecration? I saw Father on the live stream of the ordinations! Father, why do so many priests attend the ordinations? Is there a special reason for it?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

We continue our discussion of the Eucharistic Procession, Ann Miesen joins us

Today's witness Wednesday will be a bit different than usual. Today I am going to read you two blog posts written by Father David Barnes.  He was the Spiritual Director at St. John's Seminary in Boston in 2014 when these posts were written. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston in 1997. The two blog posts were written about a Eucharist procession that took place in 2014 from MIT to Harvard. It was in response to a “black mass” which was to be held that same night and the administration at the college refused to intervene. There are a few reasons I wanted to talk with you about this today. First, there is a Eucharist Procession this weekend right here in Lowell, MA, for anyone who is listening to this and who lives locally. It is on November 26th at 11 am at St. Rita's Parish. The other one is because I have heard this story at least twice over the last month, and I feel it is one that should be repeated. We tend to get scared watching the news. We feel as though evil is taking over, and we can sometimes feel helpless. This story shows us we are not helpless. It shows us good defeats evil. The Lord has already won the war of good vs. evil. He will always be victorious!The First Blog article is titled A Beautiful Night to be Catholic in the Archdiocese of Boston and was written by Father David Barnes on Tuesday, May 13, 2014.  CLICK HERE to go to Father David Barnes' BlogIt's a little after Midnight, and I am just getting in after participating in a magnificent evening.  Hundreds of Catholics joined in a Eucharistic Procession down Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge from the MIT chapel to St. Paul's in Harvard Square.  There, we spent a period of time in prayer.  The purpose of the evening was to pray in reparation for a planned Satanic Mass on the campus of Harvard University.  The procession, which passed MIT and Central Square, was a site to behold.  People were coming out of restaurants--some kneeling on the sidewalks, others blessing themselves, and some just staring in bewilderment.  Many of the servers who organized the procession were from Juventutem Boston.  That is the Traditional Latin Mass Community of young people.  They did an impressive job.  It's not easy to keep us priests organized.  The procession ended at St. Paul's in Harvard Square. When we arrived, the church--which I suppose holds about 1000 people--was already filled to capacity. So hundreds of those who walked in procession were left standing on the street outside of St. Paul's. As I looked out at the congregation, I saw many people from my previous assignment in Beverly.  They traveled a good distance to be there.  It makes me proud to have been in a parish of people who love the Eucharist so much that they would come to this event.  In the procession, I saw many students from Boston University (where I serve as Chaplain).  It was so inspiring to see their witness.  The unsung hero of the event, in my opinion, was Fr. Richard Clancy, who is the Chaplain at MIT and who is the Director for Catholic Campus Ministry in the Archdiocese of Boston. He was the one who came up with the idea of a Eucharistic Procession.  Although he doesn't look for accolades, he deserves some today. Tonight, I spent several hours with Catholics from all over the Archdiocese of Boston--young and old, students, married people, priests, seminarians, religious men and women, lay people--who all love the Eucharist.  That's what being a Catholic is.  I'm grateful to have experienced their powerful witness tonight.The second blog article is titled The Harvard Eucharistic Procession Was Beautiful . . . But Now What? This was written on Tuesday, May 13, 2014.  CLICK HERE to go to Father David Barnes' BlogThe decision of a student group at Harvard University to host a "black mass" on its campus precipitated a massive response from Catholics around Boston, the United States, and even the world.  I've heard of parishes all over the United States that held Holy Hours at the time of the scheduled event at Harvard.  As I mentioned previously, I participated in a magnificent Eucharistic Procession from the campus of MIT to St. Paul's in Harvard Square.  Hundreds of Catholics followed the Eucharistic Lord down the main street in Cambridge, where thousands of onlookers witnessed the flock following the Eucharistic Good Shepherd.I'm not always a huge fan of "big events" because I feel like those things can be used as a substitute for true faith.  Sometimes, they feel as though the effort that goes into planning and executing them far outweighs the benefits.  They sometimes feel designed as a publicity stunt or as a way of evoking a strong emotional reaction, but the effects seem short-lived.  Last night's Eucharistic Procession had a different feel.  As I looked about and saw the many young college students from area universities participating, I was touched by their love for the Eucharist and their sincere desire to follow Christ. During the past year, one thing that has really struck me about the college students whom I encounter every day is their Eucharistic Faith.  Quite often, as I am standing outside of church on a Sunday before Mass, I am asked, "Father, do you have time for a quick confession?"  Similarly, for thirty minutes each day before Daily Mass, I hear confessions.  It is rare for there to be a day that nobody comes.  I also noticed this at Mass itself.  At every Sunday Mass, there are young people who come up in the communion line and ask for a blessing rather than receive the Eucharist.  Presumably, having examined their conscience, they do not want to receive the Eucharist until they have received the Sacrament of Penance.I find all of this very striking.  These young people are not scrupulous or legalistic.  They are not tied up in knots.  Instead, they strike me as being young people who simply love the Lord and who want to approach Him and receive Him with devotion and love.  Their love for the Eucharist and the ease with which they approach the Sacrament of Penance is a beautiful witness to Christ and His Grace.  I benefit from their example.All of this comes to mind for me today as I think about the "big event" of the Eucharistic Procession and the blasphemous "satanic mass" that precipitated it.  I am reminded of my own need to deepen continually my devotion to the Eucharist.  These events beckon all of us to examine ourselves and to renew our love for the Blessed Sacrament.  Do I love the Eucharist?  Do I live a life that is coherent with the Eucharist that I receive?  Do I humbly examine myself before approaching to receive the Eucharist?  Do I spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and make visits to be with the Lord in the Eucharist?  Do I receive the Eucharist with reverence, or am I distracted, careless, or even willful?  In this instance, the "big event" ought to cause all of us who are Catholic to become more coherent in our lives.  While we were rightly outraged at the intended sacrilege of the Eucharist by others, we ought to make certain that we do not simply become "protesters" in our relationship to the Eucharist. Instead, we ought to become more Eucharistic in our daily life.  This "big event" ought to deepen our desire to grow in Eucharistic intimacy.  We want to make sure that we ourselves are not sacrilegious, blasphemous, or careless.  I think the "big event" of the Eucharistic Procession will bear the most fruit if it is followed by Catholics everywhere examining our own consciences and humbly confessing our sins and receiving absolution.  For me, the Eucharist Procession was an amazing witness of people showing their love for the Eucharist.  In my life, however, the far more powerful and convincing witness of Eucharistic Faith is seeing the daily procession of college students making their way to the confessional. Both of these articles demonstrate how powerful the Eucharist is and also the power of taking Jesus, in Eucharistic Form, to the streets. People recognize and can feel His presence even if they don't know what they are feeling. If you have not participated in a Eucharistic Procession, I recommend you try to find one. They are so powerful, and it is so beautiful to see Jesus processing down the streets. It is one thing to love Jesus in the comfort and security of our churches. It is quite another to love Him out on the streets. I have placed a link to a video of the procession in the show notes. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO If you have a few minutes, I know you will be blessed by watching it. I hope you enjoyed hearing about this amazing event and the effect it had on so many!

What is the first act of the celebration at Mass and Why should Catholics "look bizarre" during a Eucharistic Procession?

Robert Royal, journalist and editor in chief of TheCatholicThing.org joins us with a brief update on Pope Francis' health. Raymond Cardinal Burke, discusses his new book Respecting the Body & Blood of the Lord: When Holy Communion Should be Denied. Most Rev. Joseph Strickland, talks about a Eucharistic Procession in which he is participating next week in Los Angeles from the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels to Dodger Stadium...a prayerful protest against the Dodger organization's decision to honor an anti-Catholic LGBTQ group on "Pride Night" June 16. A remembrance of Most Rev. Macram Max Gassis, the retired Bishop of El Obeid, Sudan who passed away this week at the age of 84.

As Practicing Catholics, you may have heard the phrase, “the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith.” And it's true. The Eucharist is one of the most beautiful mysteries of Catholicism, and we have the honor of receiving Jesus in this way every time we attend Mass (if we're in the right state to do so). But how do we share that mystery with others? Holy Cross Catholic Church in NE Minneapolis has been offering/hosting/inviting each of us to a public Eucharistic Procession for 18 years now, and Sam Backman of Holy Cross and Chorbishop sharbel Maroun of Saint Maron's Maronite Catholic Church – both in Northeast - join us to share some insight into this beautiful tradition!

We have a lot of feast days in the Catholic Church - we celebrate people going up to heaven, coming down from heaven, when they died, when they were born, etc. But the feast of Corpus Christi is one in particular that stands out: our belief that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus -- not merely a symbol -- is the source and summit of our faith. Unfortunately, it's also a drastically declined belief among too many Catholics. Which is why this year's feast of Corpus Christi is all the more important. Jay Martin unpacks this feast day, looking at its origins, previewing the uniqueness of our upcoming Eucharistic Procession, explaining more about the Eucharistic Revival, revealing one of the four upcoming saints coming to our chapel, and more. Tune in! Special Guests: Brian Jones and Fr. David Hust.

How To Live According To The SpiritRomans 8:5-6 “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”This verse has been waiting for me to use it for several days now.  I can't remember how I discovered it, but I wrote it down and then Thursday and Friday I didn't use it and then this morning I had another verse planned and this one was sitting open on my desktop.  I am sure I had a great idea of what to talk about when I chose it and yet this morning nothing was really coming to me.  Then I got the idea to search for articles on how to set our mind of the Spirit because this verse says that will bring life and peace and I think we could all use more of that in our lives!I think the first part of this verse is pretty easy to understand.  If we live according to the flesh, then our minds will be set on the things according to the flesh.  Now that I think about it, it might not be easy for all of us to understand what it means to live according to the flesh.  Let me explain a bit.  The flesh refers to that inner power and will to do wrong, to disobey the Lord, and to yield to sinful inner urgings.  Living according to the flesh doesn't just mean when you do things of a sexual nature, which is what I was thinking when I first read this verse, or really anytime I hear that term.  Living according to the flesh means you do whatever you want to do.  You let your urges control your actions.  You know you really shouldn't do something and yet you do it anyway just because you really want to.  Sometimes it is not merely a want, it might be an addiction to something.  You feel you need to have it, and physically or mentally, your body might need it at that moment.  For instance if you are addicted too drugs your body needs them to continue to feel like it wants to feel.Living according to the flesh can be easier at times because our bodies and minds have many cravings and many times it is easier to give in than to fight it.  I have really been struggling with will power lately.  I used to be really good at not giving in to my cravings and doing the right thing.  There was a time when I decided to not watch any TV unless it was helping me grow closer to God.  I would listen to programs on Formed.org, and I would watch videos on the various Saints lives.  I would read books about the Saints.  I was doing really good.  I was also very disciplined with my food cravings.  I honestly felt so much better, mentally and physically.  Not that I feel bad now, but I did feel better then.  I agree with this verse when it says, if you live according to the flesh, you set your mind on the flesh.  When I was living more according to the Spirit it was easier to be disciplined because I was in God's Word more, I was surrounding myself with excellent examples of people who lived in the Spirit and I could see all the benefits they received from our heavenly Father.  I could see the fruits of the Holy Spirit in their lives and I wanted those fruits.  Now I struggle with living according to the Spirit.  I have days when I know what God would like me to be doing and yet I choose to sit and watch mindless TV instead.  I struggle to not give in to my urges to procrastinate, to hit the snooze button instead of spending time with God, and to not eat the entire pan of brownies.  (In my defensive my son did put caramel on them, you would want to eat the whole pan if you saw them too.)  The more I live according to my flesh, the more normal it seems because the more my mind gets set to the ways of the flesh.However, that is not how I want to live.  I want to live according to the Spirit.  Now I just need to know how to do that.  There are lots of ways, and many of you are probably doing many of them.  Since I am one that likes instruction and step by step directions so that I can make sure I am doing things correctly, I will give you some guidance from an article I found and I will put the link to this article in the show notes.  I do want to just say first that these are not the only ways to live more according to the Spirit.  You do what feels best for you.  These are just a few ideas to get you started.  The main thing to remember is that if you put God first, you will be off to a great start!This article had 5 ideas for how to “Set Your Mind On Things Above” and was written by Lissie Hoover.Put to death what is earthly: She says that the first steps toward setting your mind on things above is to rid yourself of your old self and the sin and habits that accompanied it.  She said we can't remain part of the system of sin we have been delivered from.  She gave a great analogy about trying to climb a ladder toward freedom with heavy weights upon your feet.  You would get dragged down each time you tried to take a step.  This is what sin can do to us if we don't let it go.Put on the New Self: Casting off sin is not enough if we do it with our own strength.  We are given the power to reject sin and temptation through the empowering of His Spirit and the transforming of our minds through His Word.  She said the new self refers to the justified, transformed being that looks more like Jesus than our old selves in sin and shame.  Let the peace of Christ rule in your mind: If we focus on this world, our peace will be stolen from us.  There is so much to worry about all around us.  When we say the peace of Christ should rule our hearts it means it should rule our minds too.  We need to turn away from focusing on our problems and the problems on our world and turn our focus to God and his goodness and sovereignty.  I love the saying, don't focus on how big your problems are, focus on how big your God is.Let the Word of Christ richly dwell: One of the best ways to set your mind on things above is to read the Word of the Lord.  If we are just reading and consuming things of this world we cannot keep our focus on things above.  She gave a great analogy about reading the Bible.  She said, “If someone you love send you a letter, would you toss it on a shelf and fail to open it? Of Course not! If we love Christ, we will dedicate ourselves to reading his words to us.”  She is so right.  God gave us the Bible, and often times we let it sit on a shelf, or at least I did for a good 30 years or so.  Even now I have days where it just sits on a shelf, or a table.  She also talks about how quiet study time is important and yet we also need to share what we learn.  She says it only makes sense that reading and discussing Christ-centered things will shift our mind from things of this world to his truth.Give Thanks to God: The author acknowledges that thankfulness may not always come easy in all circumstances.  However, every good thing comes from God.  She points out that we are all deserving of God's wrath for our rebellion against Him, for violating His laws and departing from what is true and right and yet Christ died for us, making salvation possible.  Gratitude can also help us shift our focus from our worries to God's power to save and provide.  Thank God, even when it is hard.  He does a lot for us and the least we can do is thank him.  There was another article I read which I don't really have time to talk about but I will put a link for it in the show notes.  One quick think I do want to mention is what he said about prayer.  He said we need to fight with prayer.  Prayer is not meant to be a last resort, or a defensive strategy for when we mess up.  It's meant to be a first response and an offensive weapon.  I will go more into that another time I am sure but I wanted to at least put it out there to let your subconscious mind start taking that in.  Our prayers are more powerful than we realize, I know that to be true!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to pray for all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we want to fix our eyes, hearts and minds on you, please continue to show us how.  Show us how to focus more on the things above than on the things of this world.  Help transform us Lord.  Help give us a renewal of the mind. We love you Lord, you are truly amazing.  Thank you for all you have done for us and in us and thank you for all you are continuing to do.  We are truly grateful and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  This week I an attending a retreat and I will be one of the speakers. I ask that you all keep me and this retreat in your prayers  I ask that God has something personal and specific for each person attending.  Next weekend, April 28-30, a group is hosting a “Satanic Conference” at the Boston Marriot Hotel that will gather over 5,000 people to give glory to Satan. As difficult as it might be for us to comprehend, the event is completely sold out. While many may be attending on a lark or out of curiosity, we know that events such as these are very serious and can cause great damage to souls. There is well-founded concern that consecrated Eucharistic Hosts may be publicly desecrated at this event.Many of the leaders of this convention are the same individuals who were organizers of the planned Black Mass in Cambridge ten years ago. That sacrilege was thwarted by the People of God rising up in prayer and in a Eucharistic Procession. This planned conference is a call for each of us to fast and pray over these days in a fervent manner.A local priest by me is making a personal invitation to each of you to fast and pray and, if possible, to join in Holy Hours. Satan and his minions have an evil plan for us, but our Lord is much more powerful than any of these dark forces. Joining our prayers with the Lord and the Church, I believe we are going to witness a great Victory for Christ through the outpouring of grace that comes from the fervent prayers of His “little ones.”This can seem like scary times but it is important to keep our eyes fixed above and remember that God already defeated evil.  The war has already been won.  I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.  Remember Jesus loves you and so do I.  Have a blessed day!Set Your Mind On Things Above by Lissie HooverHow To Set The Mind On The Spirit by  Kenny Roberts

Join Archbishop Alexander Sample and host Dina Marie Hale as they discuss the multi-year National Eucharistic Revival launched by the US Bishops.  The Archbishop reflects upon the recent celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi where he led a Eucharistic Procession through the streets of Portland as a public witness of our belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.  The National Eucharistic Revival is an effort led by the US Bishops to remind Catholics of what we believe about the Eucharist and what our response must be as the Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives as Christians.  https://the-voice-of-the-shepherd.captivate.fm/listen (Subscribe to the Voice of the Shepherd) on your favorite podcast platform.

At the Eucharistic Procession in a small town in Italy, a little boy recognizes Jesus in the Eucharist. Do we always recall that it is truly Our Lord who is present in the Eucharist? And how do we respond to those who have forgotten this, the source and summit of our Catholic faith?

On this episode of Catholic Forum, after a newsbrief from The Dialog and music from Beth Nielson Chapman's "Hymns" CD, we will learn about the National Eucharistic Revival and the special Corpus Christi Mass and Eucharistic Procession in Wilmington, when Father Glenn Evers and Ms. Colleen Lindsey are interviewed. 

Later this month, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, all the dioceses in the United States will begin a multi-year revival focused on the Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith. The first year will be focused at the diocesan level and the following year at the parish level. Joining us on this episode to discuss what is planned in the Diocese of Camden and why it is an important opportunity for the Catholic faithful, is Father Robert Hughes, vicar general and moderator of the curia. He gives us a great primer on the Eucharist and its importance not just to us as individuals but how it fosters in us the desire to help our communities. On Saturday night, June 18, the Diocese of Camden will be kicking off the revival with a Eucharistic Procession on the boardwalk in Atlantic City beginning at 8 PM. Full details can be found here: https://camdendiocese.org/event/candlelight-eucharistic-procession/.

As Practicing Catholics, you may have heard the phrase, “the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith.” And it's true. The Eucharist is one of the most beautiful mysteries of Catholicism, and we have the honor of receiving Jesus in this way every time we attend Mass (if we're in the right state to do so). But how do we share that mystery with others? Holy Cross Catholic Church in NE Minneapolis has been offering/hosting/inviting each of us to a public Eucharistic Procession for 17 years now, and Fr. Spencer Howe and Sam Backman joined us this past weekend to share more about this unique devotion. archspm.org/events

This week on RED-C Roundup our host Deacon Mike Beauvais interviewed Deacon Dan Lupo from St. Thomas More parish in the Diocese of Austin, who serves with Deacon Mike on the Diocese Committee on Eucharistic Revival.   This year the Diocese of Austin begins a journey of Eucharistic Revival starting in 2022 and for the next three years, in which every Catholic diocese, parish, school, apostolate, and family are invited to be a part of renewing the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Both Deacons also spoke about the opening event of a Diocesan Corpus Christi Mass and Eucharistic Procession on June 18th in Austin. When considering the many ways in which you can share your time, talent, and treasure with the people of God, always Roundup!

In this episode, the dogs talk about Connor's participation in the National Eucharistic Revival (1:15), Rob shares a recent decision to change his approach to campus ministry (14:04), and Mike closes with a Tolkien inspired discussion on living in freedom (20:50). Quotes: “The way the Eucharistic faith will be revitalized is not through us being really smart or eloquent, but by putting our own oxygen masks on first: praying Holy Hours in front of the Blessed Sacrament, devotion to the celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic reverence, and care of the poor.” (Connor, 9:55) "Humility is freedom.” (Connor, 12:58) “We committed to two things for next year: We're going to live the sabbath in a biblical way and everything that we do has to be done with excellence, that's it.” (Rob, 15:55) “I don't want to have attachments to my own agendas, but actually discover things as I go, which means I need to have the freedom to follow where life unfolds.” (Mike, 20:57) "Whose voice is that, because it's not God's.” (Rob, 24:30) Media Mentions: National Eucharistic RevivalMark 6The Simpsons (1989- present)Tree of Tales: Tolkien, Literature, and Theology (Eds.

Corpus Christi Mass and Eucharistic Procession 

Summary of today's show: On our Thursday show, Scot Landry, Susan Abbott, Fr. Roger Landry, and Antonio Enrique considered the news headlines of the week as they appear in The Pilot and The Anchor newspapers, including a Mass of Thanksgiving on the 10 anniversary of the Dallas Charter; Stand Up For Religious Freedom rally; National Review Board reports to US bishops; Priests meeting on pastoral planning; Fathers for Good; and International Eucharistic Congress Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Susan Abbott Today's guest(s): Fr. Roger Landry, executive editor of The Anchor, the newspaper of the Fall River diocese; and Antonio Enrique, editor of The Pilot, the newspaper of the Boston archdiocese Links from today's show: Some of the stories discussed on this show will be available on The Pilot's and The Anchor's websites on Friday morning. Please check those sites for the latest links. Today's topics: 1st segment: Scot and Susan talked about baseball to start the show and the perfect game pitched by San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain. Scot said some say it was the best 9-inning pitching performance of all time. A perfect game is where a batter never reaches base, whether through walk, hit, hit by pitch or any other means. Fr. Roger said the best pitching performance was Scot's no-hitter that he caught for Scot in senior league. Scot said Kerry Woods' 20-strickeout, 1-hit performance for the Chicago Cubs. Antonio said he'd rather speak about the Euro 2012 Cup in soccer. He's hoping that his native Spain will win the Euro Cup, especially since they won the last World Cup and Euro Cup. Scot said Germany is the most frequent pick among the pundits. Scot recommends the Euro Cup for those who aren't soccer fans, but are sports fans. 2nd segment: Scot said Cardinal Sean celebrated Mass this past Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the charter for the protection of children. It was a Mass of Thanksgiving for all those who have worked in child protection. Susan said Cardinal Seán did a wonderful job of integrating this message with the Feast of Corpus Christi. She said the children's choir at Our Lady Help of Christians in Newton was terrific. She said there was a sense that this was ongoing and the work would continue. Scot said it's an anniversary we wish we didn't have to celebrate because it recalls a very dark period, but it's important to mark such events and the progress we continue to make. Antonio said the purpose was mostly a recognition that the Church has listened and has acted in reaction to what happened. Also, to give thanks to all the volunteers who made the choice to get involved after learning of the scandal and who have implemented all these programs over the past 10 years. Scot said on the agenda of the US Bishops meeting being held in Atlanta this week was a report from the National Review Board. Fr. Roger said the secular media is only covering the Church when there's bad news to report. This report notes the real progress made in the Church in the past decade. He said the religious freedom angle has been getting a lot of attention, with people concerned over the impact this will have on the presidential election. But the bishops have said this is not a partisan effort or has an intention to affect the election. Fr. Roger thinks this focuses Catholics in the US on religious freedom and how that will affect how they vote. Scot said the other big front-page story in the Pilot this week is the convocation of priests for pastoral planning. A lot of the article covers the experience of Bishop Richard Malone in the Diocese of Portland, Maine, where they implemented similar changes for the sake of shoring up evangelization efforts. Antonio said Bishop Malone said you cannot make changes in the structure of the diocese without having a focus on evangelization. Bishop Malone said this is an opportunity to evangelize both those in the Church and those who are far away from Christ. Whenever people come back to the Church, they land in the parishes, so it's important to have a welcoming parish infrastructure. Scot said Bishop Malone's talk, which is available on Planning2012.com along with the other main talks, has two main points: “It is so important to have the lamp of the New Evangelization shining brightly on all the aspects of this pastoral planning process.” he said. “May your work together going forward, guided by the Holy Spirit, be for you and all you serve even with the challenges and all of that what John Paul II, in ‘Novo Millennio lneunte: called an exciting work of pastoral revitalization. Think of that, pastoral revitalization, our work involving all of us.” the bishop said. And “I do want to affirm how crucial your role is. Nothing good will come of this project without the highest quality of pastoral leadership offered by each one of you.” he told the priests. Susan said his comments about the crucial role of pastoral leadership connect to the experience of parishes where there is already great collaboration among pastoral leaders. Antonio said Bishop Malone said the unity of the presbyterate was vital got moving forward. Fr. Roger said he wasn't surprised that closing parishes was not very popular. A lot of hard work has gone into this. There's no easy way to do this. You need to move slowly. He was thrilled to see how so many of the comments were incorporated into the process. He also liked to see how priests can see whether their own opinions were outliers or whether they were in the mainstream. He thinks the big picture gives hop not just to the Archdiocese of Boston, but also gives hope to other dioceses who will go through the similar effort in the future. Antonio said at the most recent meeting showed how much the commission is listening. He also notes how the tone of immediacy has been dialed back. Now they are talking about phasing in by region and having pilot parishes to observe over a longer period of time. He said it's impressive how the people have complained about proposal to remove every pastor and have all new pastors. Scot said the idea was that if one of the parishes in a cluster kept its own pastor, there would be favoritism. But in the consultations they learned that no one liked that idea. Now the mantra is that they will find the best priest, whether a current pastor or another priest from outside. Susan said the nine key findings show that this process is not a rubber stamp and they are listening. She said she's heard from several parishes who are willing to go forward in the pilot process. A couple of official appointments this week: Fr. Paul Clifford has been named a new pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Braintree. It's former pastor was named Secretary for Parish Life and Leadership. This is pending Fr. Hamilton's successor being appointed at St. John the Evangelist in Hopkinton. In Lynnfield, Fr. John Farrell at Our Lady of the Assumption has been granted Senior Priest retirement status. Also the Standup for Religious Freedom Rally took place in Boston, along with those in 160 other cities in the US, last Friday. Ray Flynn, Janet Benestad, and Don Feder were among the speakers. Fr. Roger said this is citizens taking back their country from the elites running it, like with the Tea Party and Occupy movements. It builds a certain dynamism. What has happened is that Catholics have been a sleeping giant and now recognizing that we are to be salt and light in the world. We are recovering that flavor of Catholicism that helped make our country great. Ordinary citizens are saying “this is what we stand for, this is what we believe.” Antonio said he was impressed by Don Feder, who is Jewish, and it was very telling about his grandfather coming to the US where he found his human rights. He talked about the dangers of the overreach of government. Susan said Don has been a friend to the pro-life movement for many years. Susan said Janet Benestad's background was in political science and she noted that June 8 was the anniversary of the introduction of the Bill of Rights in the constitutional congress. Fr. Roger said these rallies encourage everyone to say that there's strength in numbers. The biggest thing for the Fortnight for Freedom is for Catholics to get together and pray about this, educate ourselves within the context of history, embolden ourselves and get ready for a long-term cultural education effort. He said some Catholics on the Cape have been standing on the sides of some roads educating people about the issues. Scot said the Knights of Columbus have a website called Fathers for Good. Fr. Roger said men and women need continual formation in the faith. Parishes can provide much, but not everything. One of the best organizations to form men to be real men of God is the Knights of Columbus. Fr. Roger has contributed some of this writings to Fathers for Good. He profiled it in the Anchor to educate men about this free resource and to lift up the work of the Knights to buttress them with a real fraternity that is very patriotic and helps many parishes. Fr. Roger said every man should consider becoming a Knight of Columbus. Susan noted from the article about Brian Caulfield who runs the site who spoke about the difficult birth of his son: “The first time I saw that beautiful little face lying in the incubator, I knew the great joy that God was sharing with me, and the great responsibility.” he said. “It struck me that this was for keeps - there would never be a moment for the rest of my life when I would not want to know how my son was doing, where he was going, and what I could do to help. I held him in my arms that day and walked around the neonatal unit praying softly in his ear. It was the start of a new life for me too, a life given for the good of another.” In Dublin right now is the International Eucharistic Congress. Scot said Ireland is going through tough times and he hopes the Congress will begin to create a stronger Church in Ireland. Antonio noted that so many missionaries have gone out from Ireland in the past. It's been a beacon of hope in Europe for being stalwart in faith, but sthe sex abuse crisis has injured that. He said hopes this Congress is an opportunity for renewal. Antonio said we turn to the Lord who renews, heals, and strengthens his people. Scot said we pray that publicity for the congress will renew people in their appreciation for the gift of the Eucharist. Fr. Roger said that during the Eucharistic Procession on Corpus Christi Thursday, Pope Benedict talked about the misconception that Eucharistic adoration was downplayed by Vatican II. Pope Benedict tells us we need to adore the Lord before, during, and after we receive Him. If we don't adore the Lord, we aren't really receiving him worthily. The connection between Communion and adoration was always meant to be there. He acknowledged that adoration is making a comeback in many places and he hopes it will continue. Fr. Roger said the more we love the Lord in the Holy Eucharist, the more we will care for every single part of the mystical body, the children of the Lord. Scot said the website Any Given Sunday is a great site with a fantastic video Why Go To Church. 3rd segment: This week's benefactor card raffle winner is Mary Adams from Stoneham, MA She wins by Fr.
