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!

Francis J. Giudice, Pastor Emeritus of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral of Providence. Francis attended Westerly public schools, graduating from Westerly High School as President of the Class of 1946. He enlisted in U. S. Army for two years, serving in Korea. Upon his return, he studied at Our Lady of Providence Seminary in Warwick, St. Mary Seminary in Baltimore, Maryland, and the American College in Belgium in preparation for the priesthood. He was ordained in 1956, in Louvain, Belgium, by Bishop Russell J. McVinney. After a summer assignment at St. Clare Parish in Misquamicut, he served as assistant pastor at St. Jude Parish in Lincoln and part-time faculty member at LaSalle Academy in Providence. The following year, he became part-time chaplain at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in North Providence. From 1959-61, Father Giudice pursued post-graduate studies in hospital administration at St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1961, he became chaplain at St. Joseph Hospital and Assistant Secretary for Catholic Hospitals in the Diocese of Providence. In 1962, he became assistant pastor at Holy Angels Parish, Barrington (1962-67), where he worked with the pastor and the parish community to fundraise and construct a new church building. Between 1967-82, Father Giudice was assistant pastor at Assumption Parish, Providence. While continuing to serve at Assumption Parish, he was appointed Vicar for Community Affairs. He was instrumental in helping to establish community health centers in Providence. In 1982, Father Giudice became rector of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Providence, where he served until his retirement as Pastor Emeritus in July 2004.  He had a life-long affinity for the poor, and during his time at the Cathedral, Father championed the cause of poverty relief in Haiti after visiting the island in 1981. His advocacy led to the Providence-Haiti Outreach project and the construction of a school and athletic complex that continues to serve and feed hundreds of youth. He remained busy in his retirement, still learning, growing, and helping. A kind and gentle man, Father Giudice never lost his love of Westerly, especially his Oak Street roots. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate Francis's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

In this episode we are very excited to be joined by one of our great Minnesota Bishops. We’ll be talking about what it means to be a faithful citizen and live out the faith in the public arena. Bishop John Quinn will give us his perspective and reflect on his time as shepherd of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester. We are joined on the line by Bishop John Quinn of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester. The Diocese comprises twenty counties across Southern Minnesota with a Catholic population of about 130,000 Catholics in 107 parishes. The Diocese of Winona-Rochester sponsors Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary for college level students preparing for the priesthood, which is located adjacent to Saint Mary’s University in Winona. Saint Mary's University conferred an honorary doctorate of education upon Bishop Quinn at a university convocation on August 27, 2012. In our mailbag segment we answer a question about making change in your very own neighborhood. And of course, we want to leave you with some practical tips on how you can start to put your faith into action. In our bricklayer segment we have information on an upcoming opportunity for volunteers, business owners, and organization leaders.

This weekend I will be taking 10 high school men from our diocese on a seminary visit to Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary in Winona, Minnesota.  Please keep us in your prayers, both for safe travels and that these young men might be open to discovering God's will for their lives.  Because of this seminary visit, I will not be preaching this weekend.  Lucky for you, however, I have a Throwback Homily on our readings this weekend for the 2nd Sunday of Lent!   2nd Sunday of Lent In the midst of our Lenten journey, we catch a glimpse today of Jesus transfigured in glory on top of a mountain.  This Jesus who was seen by Peter, James and John 2,000 years ago is the same Jesus who has appeared to us, who has tangibly broken into our lives at particular moments, who has woken us up (if only for an instant) to the reality of His presence in and around us!  What are some of your mountaintop moments?  These experiences are meant to strengthen us for the journey.  When the road seems too long, remember the view from mountaintop, and keep your eyes open...who knows when you'll suddenly find yourself on top of a mountain again?
