POPE FRANCIS | 

COMMEMORATIVE EDITION 

ONE OF US 

Local Jesuit community pleasantly surprised Pope Francis is one of theirs 

BY JENNIFER BRINKER 

jbrinker@archstl.org 

If the announcement that 

Pope Francis is the first Jesuit 

to become pope wasn’t surprising 

enough, members of the 

Jesuit community were surely 

floored to see that the new Holy 

Father also chose the Jesuit insignia 

as part of his papal coat 

of arms. 

C a r d i n a l 

Jorge Bergoglio 

of Buenos Aires, 

Argentina, 

who entered the 

Society of Jesus 

in 1958, was 

the first Jesuit 

in Church history 

to become 

a pope. The 265th successor to 

St. Peter also was the first pope 

to come from Latin America 

and the first man to take the 

name Francis, in recognition of 

St. Francis of Assisi, who was 

dedicated to working with the 

poor. 

Uttering the words “Jesuit” 

and “pope” in the same sentence 

just isn’t done, said Father 

Thomas Rochford, SJ, assistant 

for communications with the 

Jesuits’ Missouri Province. But 

it’s been a pleasant surprise that 

the Jesuit community here and 

around the world hopes will be-

Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio washed the feet of residents of a shelter for drug users

became the rst Latin American pope March 13, taking the name Francis. 

come an opportunity to show 

their joy for the Church through 

service as “contemplatives in 

action.” 

“Since we have never had a 

Jesuit who is pope, how he manages 

to navigate that will be an 

interesting thing to watch,” said 

Father Rochford, who served 

from 2000-09 as secretary of 

communication for the Jesuits 

in Rome. “What encourages me 

is that a man of real spiritual 

depth has been given an incredible 

pulpit. I hope he can touch 

on something and show people 

the reality of faith as something 

that is powerful.” 

High office uncommon 

It’s a common understanding 

that Jesuits typically do not 

hold high offices, said Father 

Rochford. The Jesuit community 

is known for their service 

through academia and missionary 

work, but with a strong 

sense of being part of a worldwide 

brotherhood and willingness 

to move wherever their 

service is needed. 

Those Jesuits who have 

taken on higher roles in the 

Church, including the late Cardinal 

Maria Martini of Milan 

and Cardinal Avery Dulles of 

New York, are generally elevated 

to those positions because of 

their pastoral care for others. 

Specifically avoiding top roles 

in the Church was certainly part 

of the thinking of St. Ignatius of 

Loyola, who officially founded 

the Society of Jesus in 1540. 

“Ignatius said we’re not to 

have the ambitions of climbing 

the ladder,” said Father Rochford. 

“To give a retreat to the 

bishops? Great. To be a bishop? 

No.” 

That is because, from the 

early days, the Jesuits have been 

De Smet students see special brotherhood with new pope 



Fr. Rochford 

Students at De Smet Jesuit 

High School were enjoying their 

spring break when the news broke 

that the Church had received a 

new pope. 

So when students came back to 

school on March 18, the campus 

was abuzz over the fact that the 

new Holy Father, Pope Francis, is 

one of their own — a member of 

the Jesuits. 

De Smet, an all-boys private 

college preparatory high school 

located in Creve Coeur, was 

founded in 1967. The school is 

named in honor of a Belgian Jesuit 

missionary, Father Pierre- 

Jean De Smet, one of the founders 

of the Jesuits’ Missouri Province. 

Currently fi ve Jesuit priests and 

one brother serve at the school. 

Sophomore students in Deacon 

Frank Olmsted’s New Testament 

class received a break from their 

normal Scripture studies March 

19 to have a discussion about Pope 

Francis. Several of them watched 

the conclave at home during the 

week they were off. 

Deacon Olmsted, who has 

taught at De Smet for nearly 30 

years, said he was surprised that 

a Jesuit has become pope for the 

fi rst time, but he’s already moved 

by his “simplicity, his care and 

concern for the poor.” 

Deacon Olmsted said he also 

is impressed with the pope’s 

commitment to life issues. That 

resonates with De Smet students, 

who are three-time recipients of 

the Bishop McNicholas Award, 

presented annually by the archdiocesan 

Respect Life Apostolate 

to high schools for their extraordinary 

dedication to life issues. 

Students learned more about 

the days leading up to the election 

of Pope Francis, including an 

interesting tidbit — the conclave 

to elect the new pope began on 

March 12, the anniversary of the 

canonization of St. Ignatius of 

See Jesuit, Page 4 

Loyola, founder of the Society 

of Jesus, and his co-founder, St. 

Francis Xavier. 

“It’s interesting that the conclave 

would happen to start that 

day,” Deacon Olmsted said. 

Students also spent time in class 

talking about the unlikelihood that 

a Jesuit would become pope, as 

well as the history of the Jesuits, 

including when the religious order 

was suppressed in 1773 under the

leadership of Pope Clement XIV. 

The move was political in nature, 

under pressure from monarchs in 

Portugal and Spain, among others, 

who saw the Jesuits as an obstacle 

to the slave 

trade. The order 

was restored in 

years later. 

Like his 

c l a s s m a t e s , 

sophomore Alex 

Lochner said 

he understands 

that having a 

Jesuit pope is 

an opportunity 

to share with 

others what the 

Jesuit community 

is all about. 

“We’re really taught a lot about 

brotherhood and sticking together 

— being a man for others, as 

our (school) motto goes,” he said. 

“It’s really about community, and 

I’ve noticed it here more than other 

places. We want to help people 

and change the world.” 

Peter Koetting said he’s used 

to seeing the Jesuits as “down to 

“We’re really taught a 

lot about brotherhood 

and sticking together 

— being a man for 

others, as our (school) 

motto goes.”

earth people. Similar to how we 

look up to the Jesuits here, now 

I guess the whole world can look 

up to a Jesuit (pope) now.” 

Father Wally Sidney, president 

at De Smet since 2007, explained 

that the Jesuits are about 

“faith and justice. So I really believe 

(Pope Francis) is a man of 

faith. But his faith is about action. 

As Jesuits 

… we’re not 

monks. We are 

about — what 

St. Ignatius 

would say — is 

contemplative 

in action. So in 

other words, a 

person of faith 

who is a person 

of action.” 

Father Sidney 

said he 

hopes Pope 

Francis’ close 

a s s o c i a t i o n 

with the poor and simple lifestyle 

will help transform the 

Church. “That we really take the 

poor and not just be concerned 

about them, but perhaps simplify 

our lives so that we enter into 

more solidarity with the poor. 

That in our serving them, we 

learn from them.”

At De Smet Jesuit High School students are immersed in the charism of the order. After teaching 

his sophomore theology students about the new Holy Father, Pope Francis, who is a Jesuit, 

Deacon Frank Olmsted talked with sophomore Tim Andrus.


MARCH 25-31, 2013 


Jesuit 

From Page 2 

called on to serve the front line, 

“wherever they are needed and 

to take on diffi cult situations.” 

In addition to their three vows of 

poverty, chastity and obedience, 

Jesuits also claim a fourth vow 

to serve wherever the pope may 

call them. In some cases, Jesuits 

have taken on very dangerous 

situations to help further the 

Gospel mission of the Church, 

said Father Rochford. 

Such was the case with Father 

Walter Ciszek, a Polish-American 

Jesuit priest who worked in 

the Soviet Union from 1939-63. 

Pope Pius XI, who was concerned 

about the rise of communism 

in Russia, asked for Jesuit 

seminarians willing to work 

there. For years, Father Ciszek 

worked in various lay jobs, 

while quietly tending to his ministry 

as a priest. He eventually 

was accused of espionage and 

was imprisoned for years. 

“Even though it was dangerous, 

that’s the kind of thing 

you’d see a lot” with the Jesuits, 

said Father Rochford. 

New way to serve the 

Church 

The stories of Pope Francis’ 

actions in his first week as 


pontiff certainly have charmed 

the world. From bowing to ask 

for the people’s prayers on his 

first appearance to shunning 

papal regalia, such as the red 

Italian loafers and gold pectoral 

cross, and breaking away to 

greet a crowd on a Rome street, 

Pope Francis has shown a distinct 

sense of humility in his 

first week as pope. 

Father Rochford said he’s 

convinced that those actions 

aren’t just for show — they’re 

genuinely coming from Pope 

Francis’ Jesuit heart. 

“What it says is this is somebody 

who doesn’t put a lot into 

in all of the fanciness and all 

of the trappings of power and 

higher office,” said the priest. 

“We’re seeing a new way of 

serving the Church, and he really 

looks upon it as a service 

— and no, ‘Oh good, I have 

won this high honor.’” 

“The story about him saying 

Mass inside the Vatican walls 

and then walking outside to 

greet the people as a normal 

pastor, that’s what he’s going 

to do,” he said. “I think he’s 

really going to make a serious 

effort to have the Church focus 

on its spiritual mission and in 

service to the poor. I hope that 

reality sticks with people.” 

The human connection

brought forth through those examples 

reflects Ignatian Spirituality 

Exercises, a series of 

meditations, mental exercises 

and prayers written by St. Ignatius 

to help individuals continue 

to turn inward to Christ 

and develop a stronger personal 

relationship with Him. 

“It gives us a way of making 

decisions, but entering into 

the Gospel stories and entering 

into them with a lot of heart,” 

said Father Rochford. “Pope 

Francis has already told stories 

about himself, which is a very 

Jesuit thing to do. It shows he’s 

not coming out with a more 

theoretical approach, but coming 

out with more of a narrative 

style, which is very much 

the way the exercises work.” 

Carrying on the mission 

Father Rochford said that 

the Jesuits worldwide will certainly 

support this new pope, 

while being true to their particular 

charism. “But we should 

support any pope. The Church 

is filled with so many good 

things. People say he’s just one 

man, but one leader can make 

a big difference. If the Church 

picks up his cue and becomes 

more pastoral as a result, then 

we’ll see those actions speak.”

COmmEmORAtIvE EdItION 


By ArchBishop roBert J. cArlson 

we have a pope! 

Intellectual, humble man of prayer 

CatholiC News serviCe | Paul hariNg 

Pope Francis greeted the crowd before celebrating his inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican March 19. 

Habemus papam! We have a 

pope! 

These joyful words resounded throughout 

St. Peter’s Square on March 13, and through the miracle 

of modern communications media, they were echoed 

all over the world simultaneously. The Archdiocese of 

St. Louis welcomes Pope Francis, the former Cardinal 

Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a 

heartfelt Missouri welcome. 

In Pope Francis, we have a pontiff who brings with 

him many “firsts.” As a native born Argentinian (of Italian 

descent), he is the first Latin American to be elected 

pope. He is also the first Jesuit pope and the first to take 

the name Francis. Who says that a 2,000 year-old Church 

can’t break new ground? Pope Francis stands in a very 

long line of successors to the ministry of St. Peter the 

Apostle. Yet he brings to this revered, ancient tradition a 

fresh start. 

Pope Francis is an intellectual in the best tradition of 

the Society of Jesus. He has now accepted the responsibility 

to preserve the truths of our Catholic faith and to 

proclaim them with the energy, passion and maturity of 

a teacher who is fully dedicated to helping his students 

understand, accept and “make their own” the Good News 

of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Pope Francis has a reputation for serving the poor and 

sharing with all who are in trouble the comfort and healing 

ministry of Jesus Christ. We pray that he will lead us 

all to a renewed experience of love and compassion for all 

who are in need. 

In Pope Francis, we have a powerful, outspoken advocate 

for the dignity of human life from the moment of conception 

to the experience of natural death. We also have a 

religious leader who understands the importance — and 

the limits — of the Church’s role in social and economic 

policy and in dealing with secular authority. These skills 

and insights will be incredibly important to the success of 

the new pope’s ministry to the Church and to the world. 

Pope Francis is known to be a simple, humble man 

who does not look to his own comfort ahead of the needs 

of his sisters and brothers. Although his lifestyle has now 

been radically changed — from living in a modest apartment 

in Buenos Aires and riding a bus to his residence in 

PAGE 5 

the Apostolic Palace and being transported in the “popemobile” 

— there is no doubt that he identifies with ordinary 

people, not with the rich and powerful! 

Above all, we have a pope who is a man of prayer. 

His predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, says frequently 

that prayer is essential if we want to be “close to 

God.” Pope Francis exemplifies this truth. In his prayer, 

he will walk with Jesus and learn to be His vicar here on 

earth. Our prayer for the new Holy Father is important 

to him as well because he knows that no one can fulfill 

the awesome responsibility he has accepted unless he is 

sustained by God’s grace in prayer. 

The Church in St. Louis joins with all the local churches 

in Missouri, in the United States and throughout the 

world in offering Pope Francis our promise of prayer, 

our profound fidelity to the Church he now leads and our 

love. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Louis the King, 

St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, St. Francis of Assisi, St. 

Francis Xavier and all the saints intercede for our new 

pope and guide him by their prayer and example — now 

and throughout his pontificate. 

Thanks be to God, we have a pope! May his ministry 

to the Church and the world be a sign of Christ’s love for 

all God’s people everywhere.

God Bless 

Pope Francis 


Pope begins ministry with biblical symbols, 

signs of universal ministry 

VATICAN CITY — Although 

attempts were made to 

simplify the ceremony, Pope 

Francis officially inaugurated his ministry as pope 

and bishop of Rome in a liturgy filled with biblical 

symbolism and signs of the universality of his mission. 

But before the solemn rites began March 19, Pope 

Francis — known for choosing public transport over 

chauffeur-driven limousines — took his first spin in 

the popemobile, blessing the tens of thousands of 

people who arrived in St. Peter’s Square as early as 

4 a.m. to pray with him. He waved and, at one point, 

gave a thumbs up to the faithful. He also kissed 

three babies held up to him by the chief of Vatican 

security, Domenico Gianni, and other officers. 

But he climbed out of the open jeep used as a 

popemobile to kiss a severely disabled man. 

Before entering St. Peter’s Square, he addressed 

by satellite thousands of his fellow Argentines gathered 

in Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires, where he 

had been archbishop before his election as pope. He 

thanked the people for their prayers and told them: 

“I have a favor to ask. I want to ask that we all walk 

together, caring for one another … caring for life. 

Care for the family, care for nature, care for children, 

care for the aged. Let there be no hatred, no 

fighting, put aside envy and don’t gossip about anyone.” 

from 

The Parish Family

Msgr James T. Telthorst, Pastor 

As the Mass began, tens of thousands of pilgrims, 

faithful and tourists continued to arrive, filling St. 

Peter’s Square and crowding around the large video 

screens placed along the boulevard leading to the 

square. By the time of Communion, the Vatican said 

there were between 150,000 and 200,000 people 

present. 

In his homily, Pope Francis asked prayers that he 

would be able to protect the Church like St. Joseph 

protected Mary and Jesus, “discreetly, humbly and 

silently, but with an unfailing presence and utter fidelity, 

even when he finds it hard to understand.” 

He said in the Gospels, St. Joseph “can look at 

things realistically, he is in touch with his surroundings, 

he can make truly wise decisions.” 

But more than anything, he said, the Church’s patron 

saint teaches Christians that the core concern of 

their lives must be Christ. 

“Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can 

protect others, so that we can protect creation,” Pope 

Francis said. 

He called for special efforts to protect “God’s 

plan inscribed in nature” and to protect one another, 

especially children, the aged, the poor and the sick. 

Although according to Church law he officially 

became pope the minute he accepted his election in 

the Sistine Chapel March 13, Pope Francis received 

important symbols of his office just before the inauguration

and His sheep; today you succeed him as the bishop of this 

Church to which he and the Apostle Paul were fathers in 

faith,” Cardinal Tauran said. 

Italian Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of 

Cardinals, presented Pope Francis with the fisherman’s ring, 

a gold-plated silver band featuring St. Peter holding keys, a 

reminder that Jesus told St. Peter: “I will give you the keys 

to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall 

be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall 

be loosed in heaven.” 

Giving the pope “the ring, the seal of Peter the fisherman,” 

Cardinal Sodano told the pope he was called, as bishop 

of Rome, to preside over the Church with charity. He 

prayed the pope would have “the gentleness and strength 

to preserve, through your ministry, all those who believe in 

Christ in unity and fellowship.” 

Six cardinals, representing the entire College of Cardinals, 

publicly pledged obedience to the pope. 

While many Christians acknowledge the special role of 

the bishop of Rome as the one who presides over the entire 

Christian community in love, the way the papacy has been 

exercised over the centuries is one of the key factors in the 

ongoing division of Christians.

Catholicos Karekin II of Etchmiadzin, patriarch of the 

Armenian Apostolic Church, also attended the Mass along 

with delegations from 12 other Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox 

churches, 10 Anglican and Protestant communities 

and three international Christian organizations, including 

the World Council of Churches. 

After the Lord’s prayer, Pope Francis exchanged a sign 

of peace with Patriarch Bartholomew and with Catholicos 

Karekin.

St. Francis of Assisi took 

amazing twists, turns 

By Joseph Kenny 

jkenny@archstl.org 

Pope’s choice of name recalls saint’s spirituality, poverty 

The director of the Vatican Press Office has noted that 

the pope’s choice of the name Francis, after St. Francis of 

Assisi, strongly recalls the saint’s evangelical spirituality 

and radical poverty. 

Who is St. Francis of Assisi? 

The Franciscan Province of the Sacred Heart, based in 

St. Louis, refers to their religious community’s founder 

as a medieval man of radical action and a challenger of 

the status quo. 

“In today’s vocabulary, the life and work of Francis of 

Assisi would be considered both unconventional and innovative,” 

the explanation from the province states. “He 

spent years searching for a new way of life, a pursuit that 

led to two radical breaks: firstly, with the world’s conventions 

and the obligations attached to them; secondly, with 

the established codes of conduct followed by the religious 

communities of the time. Francis was an open, communicative 

individual, inspired by nature — qualities which 

challenged the Italy of the 13th century. He overcame numerous 

setbacks and — eventually — even saw his vision 

endorsed by the papacy in 1209.” 

The Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure University 

in western New York has a biography of the saint that 

notes that Francis Bernardone (1181/82-1226) was born 

in the town of Assisi, Italy. His family belonged to an upand-coming 

merchant class of citizens. 

Francis devoted himself to the bon vivant pursuits of 

his youthful contemporaries and also joined in a series of 

military adventures, the biography notes. Around the year 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1205 he began to experience a conversion. He left behind 

carefree high living exploits and his apprenticeship in his 

father’s cloth merchant shop and devoted himself to solitary 

prayer. 

While meditating before a crucifix in the dilapidated 

wayside chapel of San Damiano, Francis underwent a 

deep spiritual experience. He heard the voice from the 

crucifix telling him to rebuild the church. Francis interpreted 

this literally at first. Eventually, he perceived his 

vocation to renew the spiritual life of his time by a return 

to living the Gospel ideals of Jesus Christ. 

By the year 1209, a group of disciples had formed the 

nucleus of what was to become the Order of Friars Minor, 

commonly known as the Franciscans. They devoted 

themselves to the imitation of Jesus Christ as presented 

in the Gospels, preaching repentance and the love of God 

in the town squares and serving the needs of the poor, 

especially lepers. In order to guide this growing fraternity, 

Francis composed a Rule or Way of Life that was 

approved by Pope Innocent III. 

St. Francis of Assisi died in 1226 and was canonized 

a saint two years later. He is the patron saint of Catholic 

action and ecologists. 

The Franciscan province’s description of St. Francis 

also seeks to define what made him so different. “His 

central cause appears at first somewhat unspectacular: He 

wanted to share the Gospel with humankind, attesting to 

the infinite love of God. Yet this is the very thing which 

makes his philosophy stands out — it is shaped by sharing. 

Up until then, religious orders had lived a life of seclusion 

within their cloisters, shut off from the challenges 

and problems of the outside world. Then along came a

young man who had broken with his family publicly and 

spectacularly in order to become involved in the lives of 

the people, in a spirit of dialogue and solidarity. Over the 

course of 800 years, Francis of Assisi has proved an inspiration 

to many men and women.” 

Pope Francis seems to be exhibiting the ideals that St. 

Francis of Assisi had, said the pastor of St.Anthony of 

Padua, a historic Franciscan-staffed parish in south St. 

Louis. 

Franciscan Father Michael Fowler said Pope Francis 

is “concerned for the poor, concerned for common, everyday 

folk, and is going out of his way to really be a 

servant.” 

The pope is “really setting a wonderful tone for leadership,” 

Father Fowler said, a leadership that is accessible. 

Most impressive, Father Fowler added, is that “he is 

definitely going to let the Holy Spirit guide the Church, 

and that’s what St. Francis always 

said, that the real minister 

general, the real head of the order, 

is the Holy Spirit.”

ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. LOUIS 

O D


MARCH 25-31, 2013 



Local Catholics continue to give thanks for Pope Francis 

BY JOSEPH KENNY 

AND JENNIFER BRINKER 

Catholics in the Archdiocese of 

St. Louis are giving thanks for their 

new Holy Father, Pope Francis. 

They’re also continuing to share 

their initial impressions of the pope 

and how he might shape the future 

Church. 

“Let us come together to offer 

prayers and support for the new 

Holy Father, Pope Francis, as he 

begins his pontifi cate as shepherd 

of the universal Church,” said Archbishop 

Robert J. Carlson, who was 

to have celebrated a Mass of thanksgiving 

for Pope Francis March 21 at 

the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. 

A recording of the Mass is available 

online at www.stlouisreview.com/ 

popefrancis. 

“Catholics around the world and 

in the Archdiocese of St. Louis have 

already learned much from the early 

actions of Pope Francis,” said the 

archbishop. “We fi nd comfort in the 

gentleness of his Jesuit spirituality, 

which is uniquely blended with his 

devotion to St. Francis of Assisi. 

His demonstrated humility, service 

and openness are surely a beacon of 

hope for all people.” 

Jesuit Father John Horn, president-rector 

of Kenrick-Glennon 

Seminary, was “stunned and joyful” 

upon hearing the news about the 

new pope. 

“Everything I know about the 

man is that he is a man of deep humility 

and simplicity — he cooks 

for himself for the most part, lives in 

an apartment in Downtown Buenos 

Aires, frequently took public transportation,” 

said the priest who oversees 

the archdiocese seminary. 

Father Horn noted that choosing 

a name after St. Francis of Assisi 

was appropriate “”because of his 

(the saint’s) infl uence on St. Ignatius 

(founder of the Jesuits) — he greatly 

inspired St. Ignatius — and the 

beauty of his love of fi nding Christ 

among the poor.” 

The seminary community had a 

prayer service, singing an old song 

and reading the Gospel in which 

Jesus tells St. Peter that “upon this 

rock I will build my Church.” A 

long pause of silence, praise and 

thanksgiving followed and then 

they sang the “Te Deum,” a song of 

praise and thanks. 

Father Horn told the seminarians 

that “now is the time for contin- 

St. Louisans at the Ponti cal North American College assisted at the Mass of inauguration for 

Pope Francis March 19 at the Vatican. Pictured, from left, are Deacon Chris Seiler, Father Don 

Henke, Father Don Anstoetter and Deacon Charles Samson. 

ued loving obedience and service.” 

The room was full of joy and 

faith, Father Horn said. 

Later the bells at the seminary 

were rung — for the fi rst time since 

the bells had been restored following 

renovation and construction 

on the seminary building. “It was 

only possible today, but I think it’s 

a providential sign,” Father Horn 

said. “The fi rst time these bells 

were rung … was today, the fi rst 

day (after) the pope’s election.” 

Knowing that Pope Francis 

chose to be named after St. Francis 

of Assisi, a man of poverty 

and peace who loves and protects 

creation, is “awesome,” said Alison 

Byerley, parish secretary at St. 

Francis of Assisi Parish in Luebbering, 

an area straddling Jefferson 

and Franklin counties. 

Byerly said the connection of 

St. Francis to nature and animals 

appeals to her. The parish has an 

outdoor Mass on St. Francis’ feast 

day, with a good turnout and blessing 

of animals. The parish also has 

had a novena leading up to the feast 

day. 

Father Gary Gebelein, pastor 

of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in 

Oakville, said the name chosen by 

Pope Francis seems “certainly fi tting 

of his personality.” 

Father Gebelein cited what he 

has learned of the pope’s love for 

the poor and concern that their 

needs be met as well as his simplicity, 

humility and holiness. “People 

were excited and very well-pleased 

that he chose the name,” the pastor 

said. 

St. Louis seminarians studying 

at the Pontifi cal North American 

College in Rome have had a 

front-row view of all the papal celebrations 

in the last week. Deacons 

Chris Seiler and Charles Samson, 

along with Fathers Don Anstoetter 

and Don Henke, were among those 

tapped to help distribute Communion 

at Pope Francis’ Mass of installation 

March 19 in St. Peter’s 

Square. 

Deacon Samson, who is expected 

to be ordained a priest this 

May, said the actual Rite of Installation 

was the most moving part 

of the entire Mass. While the pope 

processes to the tomb of St. Peter to 

pray there before Mass begins, the 

choir led the congregation in a litany 

called “Laudes Regiae” (“Royal 

Praises”) in Gregorian chant. 

“Before the litany began, I was 

marveling at the fact that in the 

sanctuary were seated a large number 

of international ‘celebrities’ — 

heads of state, diplomats,” he said. 

“But then, at a certain point in the 

litany, the congregation turned its 

prayer of supplication to the saints 

for the sake of the Church in general, 

to supplication in particular 

for the new Holy Father. 

“The neatest thing about it was 

that the kind of saints invoked 

suddenly changed — we were no 

longer praying to Church Doctors 

or Fathers, mystics or teachers, 

but now to canonized popes,” said 

Deacon Samson. “That is to say, 

we were invoking the intercession 

of Pope Francis’ holiest predecessors 

to help him in his new ministry 

— the ministry that was theirs and 

now is his. And it just struck me 

that, wow, those former popes now 

recognized and revered as saints 

are the real celebrities here.”

St. Louisan enjoys front-row view in Rome 



Like other pilgrims 

visiting the 

Vatican earlier this 

month, St. Louisan 

Lindsey Joyce 

has had a frontrow 

view to a 

historical moment 

for the Church. 

Joyce 

Last year, 

Joyce, 29, signed up to participate in 

a pilgrimage with Lino Rulli, who 

hosts The Catholic Guy radio show 

on Sirius XM satellite radio. The pa- 

rishioner at St. Joseph in Cottleville, 

who works as an operating room 

nurse at Mercy Hospital St. Louis, 

was notifi ed in early December that 

she had a slot on the pilgrimage — 

months before Pope Benedict XVI 

announced his retirement. She left 

for Rome March 8 and returned 

March 18. 

Her group visited St. John Lateran 

and St. Peter’s Basilica, saw 

Cardinal Timothy Dolan at his titular 

church, Our Lady of Guadalupe, 

and participated in the Mass for the 

cardinals at the beginning of the 

conclave March 12. They were also 

in Vatican Square for every vote 

during the conclave. 

Joyce said the experience at the 

Mass at the start of the conclave left 

her nearly speechless. “I took Communion 

from a priest who wasn’t 

American, and when I sat back 

down I just started to cry, I was so 

moved,” she said. “It was really 

humbling, but at the same time you 

could see the excitement and anticipation 

on the cardinals’ faces as they 

processed out.” 

Joyce said it’s been strange for 

her to feel this kind of excitement 

during Lent, a time when Catholics 

pray, fast and give alms in preparation 

for the death and Resurrection 

of Christ. But it’s been an amazing 

experience that she wouldn’t trade 

for the world. 

“We stood in the square for four 

hours in the cold and rain to see 

the black smoke,” she said. “I will 

say I’ve had a big realization about 

trusting in the will of God and letting 

all things over to His control, 

which is something as a convert I’ve 

struggled with.” 

At the moment when Pope Francis 

was revealed to the world, Joyce 

said she felt an energy that she 

wished she could have bottled up 

and brought home with her. While 

there was some confusion under-

standing exactly what the new pope 

was saying in his fi rst address, Joyce 

said she was moved by the moment 

when Pope Francis bowed and 

asked for a moment of silence to ask 

for the prayers of the people before 

he gave his own blessing. 

“You could hear a pin drop … it 

was so silent,” she said. 

Afterward, Joyce and her pilgrimage 

group left to grab a late dinner, 

but most of their group stayed 

up until the wee hours of the morning 

because of their excitement at 

what they had witnessed. “Two days 

later and I am still hoarse from all 

the yelling and cheering I did.”

Native of Argentina joyous about ‘big surprise’ 

By Joseph Kenny 


Silvina Baez was teaching 

Spanish to preschool 

students when her cell 

phone began to vibrate — at least 

six times. 

She thought it might be her 

sister telling her that a pope was 

elected at the conclave of cardinals 

at the Vatican. Baez was confused 

though when she saw that the calls 

were from different people. 

During a break she checked her 

phone and learned that the calls 

concerned the excitement surrounding 

the fact that the new pope 

is from Latin America. Even better, 

when Baez read a text from her sister, 

she saw that the pope is from 

Argentina — Baez’ home country. 

“I went online … and I just saw 

the moment when the pope gave 

a blessing,” Baez said five days 

later, still excited about the news. 

“It was a big surprise, I think, for 

everyone. Most people thought it 

would be someone from Europe or 

Africa, not from South America.” 

Pope Francis is from Buenos Aires,

in Hispanic ministry at St. Charles 

Borromeo Parish in St. Charles 

in addition to teaching part time. 

“It’s very exciting knowing that 

he has the same traditions I have, 

the same kind of Spanish I speak.” 

For Latin Americans, she said, 

“it is encouraging to have him as 

pope because sometimes the Hispanic 

people feel they are in the 

back of the Church, and we have 

to realize we are part of this body 

of Christ, an important part.” 

Baez found a video online of 

a talk given in 2009 by the pope, 

then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, 

the archbishop of Buenos Aires, 

to Caritas, a charitable arm of the 

Church. “He talked about how it 

is important to help the poor, but 

if your life doesn’t change, you’re 

just doing philanthropy,” Baez 

said. “You have touch the hand of 

the poor, be his or her friend.” 

Loving the poor is something 

everyone is called to do. It applies 

to her own work, she said, noting 

that it isn’t enough for her to make 

calls or send emails. “We have to 

be a friend of those people who 

don’t feel welcome in the community. 

If they just come to Mass 

and leave, don’t know anyone, it 

is part of our job to make them 

feel a part of us here.” 

Baez hopes to read a book writ- 

ten by the then-archbishop of Buenos 

Aires about helping the poor. 

“He has tried to live his life the 

same way he preaches. In Argentina 

there are so many places that 

are called ‘misery villages.’ They 

are very poor. The whole family 

lives in one room. He used to go 

there, eat with them, talk to them.” 

People in Argentina, including 

the pope, drink maté, a drink similar 

to a tea, with a straw that has 

a filter. “You share it with everyone,” 

she noted. 

Baez came to the United States 

as a tourist in 2000 and met a U.S. 

citizen who became her husband. 

She has lived in Texas, California, 

Michigan and Missouri, and has 

enjoyed working for the Church 

with the Hispanic community. 

“Many Hispanic people, when 

they move to the United States, 

they stop going to church because 

the Masses are in English. I feel 

it’s important to help the Hispanic 

community by bringing them the 

Mass in Spanish. In religion and in 

health care it is important to speak 

your own language, to explain and 

understand what you’re feeling.” 

Baez said she enjoys the St. 

Louis area because it is a good 

place for children and it has a large 

Catholic population. 

Her husband is not Catholic, 

and “that is one of the reasons why 

I am Catholic,” she said smiling 

at the thought but also serious. He 

challenged her about the Church. 

She remembered her father telling 

her to learn as much as she could 

about the Catholic Church, so 

she began to investigate and take 

courses. 

“I discovered the deep tradition 

we have in the Catholic Church. 

… I told him (her husband) when 

I finish learning about the Catholic 

Church, I will change, but that 

probably will take all my life,” she 

said with a laugh. 

In the end, she said, he doesn’t 

hate Catholics and the Church because 

he loves her. He supports 

her work in the Church and how 

she helps people. 

Baez said that as a native of 

Argentina she understands the 

pope’s background and actions 

and admires him for many things, 

including his challenge to the government 

there to do more to help 

the poor with food, clothing and 

housing.


The Jewish Community of St. Louis 

shares in the joy of the Catholic Church on the 

election of Pope Francis. 

 

We are heartened by the demonstrated commitment of Pope Francis to interfaith 

relations. We also note his choice of St Francis of Assisi as his namesake, 

reminding us of the great legacy of an abiding commitment to the poor. 

 

We were deeply moved by learning of a message Pope Francis sent to the Chief 

Rabbi of Rome, in which he stated: “I strongly hope to be able to contribute to 

the progress of the relations that have existed between Jews and Catholics 

since Vatican Council II in a spirit of renewed collaboration and in service of a 

world that may always be more in harmony with the Creator's will” 

 

We offer our blessings and look forward to continued and deepening friendship 

between the Catholic and Jewish communities as together,we work to build a 

stronger St. Louis community engaged in the sacred task that Jewish tradition 

calls Repair of the world.

tions between Catholics and Jews. 

The message sent a clear signal 

that Pope Francis is going to make 

this a priority of his pontifi cate, 

which has brought joy to many 

Jewish leaders here and around the 

world. 

Batya Abramson-Goldstein, 

executive director of the Jewish 

Community Relations Council of 

St. Louis, said that Pope Francis’ 

initial connection with the Jewish 

community has been “deeply moving 

and truly heartening.” 

Founded in 1938, the Jewish 

Community Relations Council of 

St. Louis serves to work within the 

Jewish and broader communities 

in St. Louis to build upon relations 

with other religious, racial, ethnic 

and civic groups. 

Abramson-Goldstein noted that 

then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio 

worked closely with the leadership 

of the Seminario Rabbinico in Buenos 

Aires on publications. Such 

examples show that the Christian- 

Jewish dialogue is close to his 

heart, she noted. 

Buenos Aires has a Jewish population 

of roughly 250,000. The 

Jewish community in Argentina 

traces its roots back to the 15th and 

16th centuries when many Jews 

fl ed persecution in Spain. Today, 

Argentina is considered to have the 

largest Jewish population in Latin 

America and is one of the largest 

Jewish communities in the world, 

said Abramson-Goldstein. 

Pope Francis “has been known 

to be a good friend of the Council 

of Christians and Jews in Argentina 

and of the Jewish community 

itself,” she said. 

As bishop and later cardinal in 

Buenos Aires, Pope Francis made 

a real connection with the Jewish 

people, both in times of joy and 

tragedy. 

He reached out to the Jewish 

community after the 1994 Iranian- 

backed bombing of the AMIA Jewish 

community center in Buenos 

Aires, which killed 85 people. “He 

repeatedly and publicly called for 

justice, and was a support to the 

stricken Jewish community,” said 

Abramson-Goldstein.

Then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio spoke at a Kristallnacht commemoration event at the Buenos 

Aires Metropolitan Cathedral last November. He has been a support to the Jewish community in 

Argentina, which is considered the largest in Latin America. 

Last November, he hosted a 

Kristallnacht commemoration 

in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan 

Cathedral. Referred to as the 

“Night of Broken Glass,” the ceremony 

serves to commemorate 

the coordinated attacks against 

Jews in Nazi Germany in 1938. 

The attacks became known as a 

precursor to the horrifi c events of 

the Holocaust. 

“The former cardinal was known 

in Argentina for his simplicity and 

concern for the poor,” Abramson- 

Goldstein said. “He has made clear 

his ongoing commitment to social 

economic justice. In these fi rst few 

days, that has become a signature 

aspect of his words, his deeds. 

“I think the feeling that one 

emerges with … is his papacy will 

make a signifi cant impact on human 

rights and the human dignity 

that we all desire.”

Religions must cooperate to remind humanity God exists 

BY CINDY WOODEN 


VATICAN CITY — For the 

good of all people, the care of the 

poor and the future of the Earth, religions 

must cooperate in reminding 

modern men and women that 

God exists and has a plan for their 

lives and their behavior, Pope Francis 

said. 

“The Catholic Church knows 

the importance of promoting 

friendship and respect among men 

and women of different religious 

traditions,” he said, repeating the 

entire phrase twice for emphasis 

March 20 during a meeting with 

the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, 

Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh and Jain 

delegations that had come to the 

Vatican for his inauguration. 

The Catholic Church, he said, 

“is equally aware of the responsibility 

that all have for this world, 

for creation — which we must love 

and protect — and we can do much 

good for those who are poor, weak 

and suffering, to favor justice, to 

promote reconciliation, to build 

peace.” 

“But more than anything,” he 

said, “we must keep alive in the 

world the thirst for the Absolute. 

We must never allow a one-dimensional 

vision of the human person 

to prevail — a vision that reduces 

the person to what he produces and 

consumes.” 

“This is one 

of the most dangerous,insidious 

things of our 

age,” Pope Francis 

told his guests 

from other Christian 

churches and 

other religions. 

Too much 

violence, he said, 

has resulted from 

“the attempt to Pope Francis 

eliminate God or 

the divine” from 

people’s personal and social lives. 

To be open to the transcendent, 

to seek God, is part of being fully 

human, and continues to exist in the 

human heart, he said. 

The pope told the religious leaders 

that he and they have an obligation 

to be close to people who 

do not belong to a faith community, 

but who are “searching for the 

truth, goodness and beauty.” Such 

people, he said, “are our precious 

Thank you, Pope Francis, 

for your 

allies in the commitment to defending 

human dignity in building 

peaceful coexistence among peoples 

and in safeguarding creation.” 

Before meeting the entire group, 

the pope held private meetings 

with Ecumeni- 

cal Patriarch 

Bartholomew of 

Constantinople, 

the “fi rst among 

equals” of Orthodox 

bishops 

and a frequent 

visitor during 

Pope Benedict 

XVI’s papacy, 

and with Metropolitan 

Hilarion 

of Volokolamsk, 

head of ecumenical 

relations for the Russian 

Orthodox Church. 

At the beginning of the audience 

with all of the religious 

leaders, Patriarch Bartholomew 

addressed the pope, congratulating 

him on his election and emphasizing 

the importance of the 

Catholic Church’s involvement in 

the search for Christian unity as a 

sign of the credibility of the Gospel 

message and a way of strengthen- 

leadership and service to the Church!

said, acknowledging how

be in Rio de Janeiro in July for 

World Youth Day and, she said, 

he also told her he intended to 

visit Brazil’s National Shrine of 

Our Lady of Aparecida. 

Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, 

Vatican spokesman, said 

the pope and Rousseff spent 15 

minutes speaking alone March 

20 before the dozen members of 

her delegation joined them. 

Pope Francis gave the president 

a copy of Latin American 

bishops’ 2007 Aparecida document, 

which was drafted during 

a meeting at the Marian shrine, 

Father Lombardi said, but he said 

Pope Francis’ travel plans were 


information about them. 

“Invitations (to visit) came 

from practically every delegation” 

of government representatives 

attending Pope Francis’ 

inauguration March 19, he said. 

More than 130 countries sent delegates. 

Father Lombardi said the 

World Youth Day events in Rio 

were a primary topic for the 

pope’s talks with Rousseff and 

that is one visit he does expect 

the pope to make. 

Asked by the Argentine press 

to comment on the fact that Pope 

Francis had broadcast a message 

to people in his hometown before 

his inauguration, Rousseff said 

jokingly, “Look, the pope is Argentine, 

but God is Brazilian.”

Pope Francis’ homily from the 

“pro Ecclesia” Mass March 14 

By Vatican information SerVice 

VATICAN CITY — On March 14, Pope 

Francis celebrated the “pro Ecclesia” Mass in 

the Sistine Chapel with the 114 other Cardinal 

electors who participated in the conclave and 

those who assisted with its functions. 

The first reading was a canticle from the 

Prophet Isaiah that begins with the words: “In 

days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house 

shall be established as the highest mountain” and 

continues with the celebrated verses: “He shall 

judge between the nations, and set terms for 

many peoples. They shall beat their swords into 

plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; 

One nation shall not raise the sword against another, 

nor shall they train for war again.” 

The second reading was from the First Letter 

The Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, 

celebrating 100 years of service in St. Louis, 

congratulate and pray for 

our Holy Father, Pope Francis. 

We are inspired by and hope to follow 

his example of humility and service 

in the image of Christ. 

Caritas Christi Urget Nos – The love of Christ Impels Us

of Peter dedicated to the common priesthood of 

the faithful, which reads: “like living stones, let 

yourselves be built into a spiritual house to be a 

holy priesthood” and exhorts us to be “a chosen 

race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people 

of His own, so that you may announce the 

praises” of Him who called you out of darkness 

into His wonderful light.” The Gospel reading 

told the story of Peter’s confession when Christ 

asked His disciples: “And you, who do you say I 

am?” and Peter answered “You are the Messiah, 

the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him in 

reply: “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and 

upon this rock I will build my Church, and the 

gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against 

it.” 

In his first homily as pope, and speaking in 

Italian without a text, Francis noted that the three readings have something in common: 

“Movement. In the first reading the 

movement is the journey; in the second 

the movement is the building of 

the Church; in the Gospel the movement 

is in the witness. To walk, to 

build, to witness.” 

The pontiff recalled that the first 

thing God said to Abraham was: 

“’Walk in my presence and be blameless.’ 

Our life is a path. When we stop 

walking there is something that isn’t 

right. To walk always in the presence 

of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, 

seeking to live the blamelessness that 

God asks of Abraham in His promise.” 

“To build,” he continued, “to con-

at the Vatican March 14, the day after his election. 

struct the Church. This means stones. 

Stones are solid but these are living 

stones, stones that are anointed by the 

Holy Spirit. To build the Church, the 

Bride of Christ, on the cornerstone that 

is the Lord Himself.” 

“To witness … We can walk when 

we want to, we can build many things, 

but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ 

then it doesn’t matter. We might become 

a philanthropic NGO, but we 

wouldn’t be the Church, the Bride of 

the Lord. When we don’t go forward 

we stop … we go backwards. When 

we don’t build on rock, what happens? 

The same thing that happens to 

children when they build sandcastles 

at the beach. They wind up falling 

down because they have no solidity.” 

Then, citing Leon Bloy, the Holy Father 

affirmed: “Whoever does not 

pray to God, prays to the devil” because 

“when we don’t witness to Jesus 

Christ, we witness to the worldliness 

of the devil.” 

“To walk, to build, to witness. But 

this is not so easy because when we 

walk, when we build, when we witness, 

at times there are upsets, there 

are movements that aren’t proper to 

the journey. They are movements that 

pull us back.” 

“In the Gospel,” the pope continued, 

“even Peter who confessed Jesus 

as Christ, says to Him: ‘You are the 

Messiah, the Son of the living God. I 

will follow you but let’s not talk about 

the cross. That doesn’t have anything 

to do with it. … I’ll follow you, without 

the cross.” But, “when we walk 

without the cross, when we build without 

the cross, when we profess a Christ 

without the cross … we aren’t disciples 

of the Lord. We are worldly, we 

are bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, 

but not disciples of the Lord. 

“And I wish that all of us, after 

these grace-filled days, might have the 

courage, yes, the courage to walk in 

the Lord’s presence with the cross of 

the Lord, to build the Church on the 

blood of the Lord that is poured out 

on the cross and to witness to the sole 

glory: to the crucified Christ. And thus 

the Church will move forward.” 

“I wish for us all that the Holy Spirit, 

through the intercession of Mary, 

our mother, grant us this grace: to 

walk, to build and to witness to Jesus 

Christ.” 

After the homily, the Prayers of the 

Faithful prayed for the new pope and 

also for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, 

“that he may serve the Church while 

hidden to the world, in a life dedicated 

to prayer and meditation.” They also 

prayed that national leaders “not act 

with force or for personal interest, not 

in tyranny over persons, but conscious 

that every power comes from God.” 

Finally, they recalled “those who are 

suffering and those who are lost in the 

struggles of life. That Christ, the supreme 

Shepherd, may restore and console 

them and crown them with glory.” 

At the end of the Mass the pontiff 

visited the papal apartment in the Apostolic 

Palace.

Family, friends of St. Louis cardinals re ect on conclave 

Cardinals Burke, 

Dolan and Rigali had 

vote in papal conclave 



St. Louis had a signifi cant 

connection to the conclave to 

elect a new pope. Three cardinals 

with St. Louis ties participated in 

the conclave, which began March 

12. 

This is the fi rst conclave for 

two of the three — Cardinals 

Timothy Dolan of New York and 

Raymond Burke of the Apostolic 

Signatura in Rome — and 

the second conclave for Cardinal 

Justin Rigali, now a retired cardinal 

serving in the Diocese of 

Knoxville, Tenn. 

Family and friends of these 

three recently shared their excitement 

and joy — and a little 

insight into what could be going 

through the minds of these cardinals 

as they prepare to select a 

new Holy Father. 

Cardinal Raymond Burke 

Since Pope Emeritus Benedict 

XVI announced his resignation, 

Cardinal Raymond Burke has 

quietly shied away from any sort 

of media attention. 

The cardinal, who was head 

of the St. Louis Archdiocese 

from 2004-2008, has served as 

prefect of the Supreme Tribunal 

of the Apostolic Signatura, the 

Church’s highest court, in Rome 

since Pope Benedict appointed 

him in 2008. This was Cardinal 

Burke’s fi rst time participating in 

a conclave. 

His older sister, Mary Drexler, 

speaking by phone from her 

home in Stratford, Wis., said she, 

too, hadn’t had much chance to 

speak to her baby brother in the 

weeks leading up to the conclave. 

“The Roman Curia had a retreat 

in February after the pope’s 

announcement … and after he 

fi nished the retreat, I had a chance 

to catch him on the phone. Just 

like I was, he was so shocked

Cardinal Dolan was elevated to the College of Cardinals in February 2012. 

and saddened” about the resignation 

news, said Drexler. “He very 

much followed Benedict’s teachings, 

meaning that they were re-

ally on the same page. He told 

me, ‘I’m going to be very busy, 

so I’m not going to be able to call 

anymore.’ I told him ‘we’ll be

thinking of you and praying for 

you daily.’” 

See Cardinals, Page 25



Cardinals 

From Page 24 

Like the other cardinals participating 

in the conclave, Cardinal 

Burke focused on prayer as the cardinals 

discussed who is going to be 

the next person to lead the Church. 

“We have had such great leaders 

in Blessed John Paul II and now 

Benedict XVI,” said Drexler. 

Some of the major topics discussed 

included a restructuring 

of the Roman curia, the central 

governing body of the Church, as 

well as the new evangelization, the 

problem of sexual abuse by clergy, 

abortion and same-sex marriage. 

Mercy joins the community of faith in 

praying for His Holiness Pope Francis. 

May God be with him as he embarks 

on this great undertaking of 

shepherding the 

people of God. 

The Lord bless you and keep you. 

The Lord let his face shine upon you 

and be gracious to you. 

The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. 

Numbers 6:23-27 

mercy.net 


“These are all topics that he’s very 

concerned about,” said Drexler. 

“Thinking about what has to be 

accomplished, all of this has to be 

very heavy on his mind. I know he 

is praying that they have someone 

who has all of the qualifi cations to 

lead some major reforms.” 

Cardinal Burke’s family is very 

proud of his accomplishments and 

knowing that he has a direct hand 

in choosing the new Holy Father is 

“almost unbelievable for us,” said 

Drexler. “We continue to pray and 

know that the Lord will provide us 

with a good shepherd.” 

Cardinal Justin Rigali 

Retired Cardinal Justin Rigali 

left Knoxville on March 5, 

for Rome — his second conclave 

since becoming a cardinal in 2003. 

He also participated in the 2005 

conclave that elected Pope Benedict 

XVI. 

Bishop Richard Stika, a former 

St. Louis priest who was named 

head of the Diocese in Knoxville 

in 2009, worked closely with 

Cardinal Rigali when he led the 

Archdiocese of St. Louis from 

1994-2003. Bishop Stika served 

as Cardinal Rigali’s secretary from 

1994-97, vicar general from 1997- 

2004 and chancellor from 1994- 

2004. He also was instrumental in 

helping Cardinal Rigali plan Pope 

John Paul II’s pastoral visit to St. 

Louis in 1999. 

Cardinal Rigali offi cially retired 

from episcopal ministry in 

2011 and moved to the Diocese of 

Knoxville. He remains quite active 

in various roles both here and 

in Rome. He continues to serve on 

several U.S. bishops’ committees 

and Vatican congregations, including 

the Vatican Congregation for 

Bishops and the Vatican Congre- 

gation for Divine Worship and the 

Discipline of the Sacraments. 

Despite Cardinal Rigali’s longtime 

service in St. Louis and his 

eight years as head of the Archdiocese 

of Philadelphia (2003- 

11), Bishop Stika quipped that the 

Diocese of Knoxville is “claiming 

(Cardinal Rigali) as our own now.” 

More than 1,000 people attended 

a farewell prayer service for the 

cardinal before he left for the conclave, 

and more than 100 people 

showed up at the airport to wish 

him well. 

Bishop Stika said he had been 

talking to Cardinal Rigali just 

about every day since he went to 

Rome. 

Bishop Stika said he’s also been 

keeping in touch with another 

St. Louis friend, Cardinal Timothy 

Dolan. Both cardinals were 

very much aware that “Catholics 

throughout the world are praying 

for these 115 men,” Bishop Stika 

said before the election. “They’re 

both looking for someone who is 

Pope Francis,

fi lled with a sense of prayer and 

purpose, someone who is gifted 

with languages, someone who has 

an international perspective of the 

Church — but especially someone 

who can relate to people” 

Cardinal Timothy Dolan 

It’s hard for Sister Rosario Delaney, 

RSM, to keep from feeling 

overjoyed that a former Holy Infant 

student took part in the conclave. 

Sister Rosario, principal of 

Holy Infant School in Ballwin, 

has known Cardinal Timothy 

Dolan since she came to the 

school in 1964, right at the time 

when he was graduating from the 

school. Cardinal Dolan has led the 

Archdiocese of New York since 

2009 and was elevated to the cardinalate 

in 2012. This was Cardinal 

Dolan’s fi rst conclave. 

Over the years, Cardinal Dolan 

has returned to the parish for various 

visits, including as homilist 

for the fi rst Masses of several new 

priests from Holy Infant. 

“It’s so exciting for us here 

at Holy Infant School, knowing 

that he went to school here, that 

he received his First Communion 

and Confi rmation here, that he 

has said his fi rst Mass here,” Sister 

Rosario said in a phone interview. 

“It’s exciting to think that 

someone who was part and parcel 

of our school community and parish 

community is now in Rome 

among the cardinals choosing the 

next pope.” 

Sister Rosario had the chance 

to visit with Cardinal Dolan in 

New York right before he left for 

Rome. She said that she did not 

talk to him much about the uconclave, 

but instead told him “all I 

am doing is praying for you, that 

whatever God wants for you will 

be done. We want the right person 

to guide the Church at this particular 

time, and I know that’s what 

he would want, too.”

Vatican releases papal coat of arms, motto 

Papal motto is based on the Gospel account of ‘The Call of St. Matthew’ 

By Carol Glatz 


VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis’ papal motto is 

based on the Gospel account of “The Call of St. Matthew,” 

the tax collector, in a homily given by St. Bede 

the Venerable. 

The pope decided to keep his episcopal motto and 

coat of arms for his pontificate with just a few minor adjustments 

in line with a papal emblem. For example, the 

blazon adds the bishop’s miter and the keys of St. Peter. 

The silver miter was something Pope Benedict XVI 

established in 2005, putting an end to the three-tiered 

tiara that, for centuries, had appeared at the top of each 

pope’s coat of arms. 

The simple, more modest miter has three gold stripes 

to mirror order, jurisdiction and magisterium, and a vertical 

gold band connects the three stripes in the middle 

to indicate their unity in the same person. 

The Holy See’s insignia of two crossed keys, which 

symbolize the powers Christ gave to the Apostle Peter 

and his successors, is on the new papal coat of arms and 

has been part of papal emblems for centuries. 

The papal emblem 

uses a gold 

key to represent the 

power in heaven 

and a silver key to 

indicate the spiritual 

authority of the 

papacy on earth. 

The red cord that 

unites the two keys 

alludes to the bond 

between the two 

powers. 

Something Pope 

Francis seems to 

have changed is 

to have removed 

the pallium, the 

woolen stole symbolizing 

a bishop’s 

authority, to the 

elements surrounding 

the shield. 

The pallium was a 

new element Pope 

Benedict added to 

his coat of arms in 

2005. 

The new papal 

blazon contains the 

same symbols Pope 

Francis had on his 

episcopal coat of 

arms. 

The dark blue 

shield is divided 

into three sections 

The coat of arms of Pope 

Francis borrows much from his 

former episcopal emblem. On 

the blue shield is the symbol of 

the Society of Jesus. Below it is 

a five-pointed star and the buds 

of a spikenard flower, which 

represent respectively Mary 

and St. Joseph. The papal motto 

is the Latin phrase “Miserando 

atque eligendo,” which means 

“because He saw him through 

the eyes of mercy and chose 

him” or more simply, “having 

mercy, He called him.” The 

phrase comes from a homily by 

St. Bede. 

— each of which has its own symbol. On the top is the 

official seal of the Society of Jesus in yellow and red, 

representing Jesus and the religious order in which the 

pope was ordained as a priest in 1969. 

Below are a five-pointed star and the buds of a spikenard 

flower, which represent respectively Mary and St. 

Joseph, according to Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, 

Vatican spokesman. 

The papal motto, like his episcopal one, is the Latin 

phrase “Miserando atque eligendo,” which means “because 

He saw him through the eyes of mercy and chose 

him” or more simply, ‘having mercy, He called him.” 

The phrase comes from a homily by St. Bede — an 

English eighth-century Christian writer and doctor of 

the Church. 

St. Bede’s homily cites Matthew 9:9-13 in which Jesus 

saw the tax collector, Matthew, sitting at a customs 

post and said to him, “Follow me.” St. Bede explained 

in his homily, “Jesus saw Matthew, not merely in the 

usual sense, but more significantly with His merciful 

understanding of men.” 

“He saw the tax collector and, because He saw him

through the eyes of mercy and 

chose him, He said to him: ‘Follow 

me.’ This following meant 

imitating the pattern of his life 

— not just walking after him. St. 

John tells us: ‘Whoever says he 

abides in Christ ought to walk 

in the same way in which he 

walked.’” 

St. Bede continued: “This 

conversion of one tax collector 

gave many men, those from 

his own profession and other 

sinners, an example of repentance 

and pardon. Notice also 

the happy and true anticipation 

of his future status as apostle 

and teacher of the nations. No 

sooner was he converted than 

Matthew drew after him a whole 

crowd of sinners along the same 

road to salvation.”

Hope for a new tomorrow 

Our new pope’s vision for 

the Church is especially 

relevant during Holy Week 

and Easter, the holiest days of the 

Church year. 

A reporter from Catholic News 

Service has pointed out that as pastor 

of the universal Church, a pope must 

consider how his gestures, statements 

and decisions will be received by 

the widest possible audience. Pope 

Francis’ humility and accessibility, he 

wrote, plainly underscore his avowed 

desire that the Church be close to the 

poorest and least powerful. 

That message resonates with the 

Easter message that Jesus’ death 

gives us hope for a new tomorrow. 

Jesus’ actions, fi rst of all in washing 

His disciples’ feet, giving us His 

Body and Blood at the Last Supper 

and accepting His agony and subsequent 

death on the cross, give us hope 

in a diffi cult time and model faithful 

endurance. It also is a call to do more. 

As the U.S. Conference of Catholic 

Bishops points out, when we 

rejoice in Jesus’ Resurrection we also 

celebrate Christ’s gift of Himself, 

which transforms us and enables us 

to become a gift of our self to others. 

We are renewed by the blessings that 

Easter gives us. Jesus continues with 

us through His Church, the ongoing 

gift of His divine presence. 

In the homily Pope Francis gave 

March 19 inaugurating his papal 

ministry, he stressed that the vocation 

to protect creation and humanity 

applies to everyone. He urged us all 

to be unafraid of goodness or even 

tenderness. 

Pope Francis used the example of 

St. Joseph, who exercised his role as 

protector as a spouse and father. He 

did so, however, being constantly receptive 

to God’s plans and not simply 

his own. 

The role of protector involves caring 

for one another in our families, 

but also extends further, Pope Francis 

stated. “Whenever we fail to care for 

creation and for our brothers and sisters, 

the way is opened to destruction, 

and our hearts are hardened,” he said. 

Pope’s words, Easter message are a call to do more 

Pope Francis noted that Jesus 

conferred power upon Peter as the 

head of His Church but that authentic 

power is service, and “the pope too, 

when exercising power, must enter 

ever more fully into that service 

which has its radiant culmination on 

the cross. He must be inspired by the 

lowly, concrete and faithful service 

which marked St. Joseph and, like 

him, he must open his arms to protect 

all God’s people and embrace with 

tender affection the whole of humanity, 

especially the poorest, the weakest, 

the least important.” 

This service, Pope Francis said, is 

essential “so that the star of hope will 

shine brightly.” 

As we celebrate the hope that 

Easter brings and as we refl ect on 

the words of our newly inaugurated 

pope, now is the time for all of us to 

reassess our role in service to others, 

bringing hope especially to the 

hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the 

naked, the sick and the imprisoned. 

During these holy days, we are 

asked to support others through the 

Good Friday collection for the Holy 

Land — which benefi ts pastoral, 

charitable, educational and social 

works, as well as the pilgrimage 

sites — and the Easter collection

retired archdiocesan priests. Please 

be generous in helping these worthy 

ministries.

SUNDAY SCRIPTURES 

I ThoughT You Should Know 

Belief in the Resurrection is everything 

‘For they did not yet understand the Scripture that He had to rise from the dead.’ 

The feast of the Resurrection is the greatest 

feast of the year. It is one thing for God to 

become man in a stable in Bethlehem, but it 

is quite another thing for Christ to die on the cross for 

our sins, and then triumph over sin and death by rising 

gloriously from the dead! 

Christ’s Resurrection is unique. No one had ever 

risen from the dead. Christ resuscitated Lazarus by 

bringing him back from the dead. Yet Lazarus returned 

to a normal human life in this world. He also 

had to die again. On the other hand, Christ’s Resurrection 

on the third day is something radically different 

from Lazarus’ experience of returning to a normal 

human life. 

Pope Emeritus Benedict tells us, “In Jesus’ Resurrection 

a new possibility of human existence is 

attained that affects everyone and that opens up a 

future, a new kind of future, for mankind.” 

At the present time, we do not understand fully what 

the “new possibility of human existence” will entail, but 

we know it will be great. Among other things, those who 

rise to the Resurrection of life will never experience 

hunger, sadness, suffering or death. 

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen told a story that helps 

illustrate some of this. There was a lady who had lost 

all four limbs to leprosy. She was smiling and so joyful. 

When asked why she was smiling, she simply said, “Because 

Jesus loves me so much! Besides I will get all four 

limbs back in the Resurrection.” Her joy came from her 

belief in the Resurrection! 

The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us, “Yet 

our participation in the Eucharist already gives us a 

foretaste of Christ’s transfiguration of our bodies” 

(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1000). It then goes 

on to quote St. Irenaeus, “Just as bread that comes from 

the earth, after God’s blessing has been invoked upon it, 

is no longer ordinary bread, but Eucharist, formed of two 

things, the one earthly and the other heavenly: So too 

our bodies, which partake of the Eucharist, are no 

longer corruptible, but possess the hope of Resurrection.” 

In other words, we possess in us the hope of the 

Resurrection. The catechism explains that “All the dead 

will rise, those who have done good, to the Resur-

Church 998). 

What we now know about the Resurrection has come 

to us with the aid of the Holy Spirit. We should not be 

surprised that the Resurrection took the apostles totally 

by surprise, because they had not yet received the Holy 

Spirit. 

However, on Easter Sunday night, Peter and the rest 

of the apostles did receive the Holy Spirit. This helps us 

to understand today’s first reading, Peter, after receiving 

the Holy Spirit, is speaking to the household of Cornelius, 

who were Gentiles. He now gives witness to the 

preaching and healing ministry of Jesus while He was 

still with them. He tells Cornelius that Jesus was anointed 

by the Holy Spirit and healed many and delivered 

many who were oppressed by the devil. He then concludes, 

“…everyone who believes in him will receive 

the forgiveness of sins through His name.” 

If you and I take the Resurrection for granted, if for 

us it is only a bit of historical information, we will miss 

rising gloriously from the dead. In fact, we will miss

the entire purpose for which we were created, and that is 

“to come to know, love and serve God in this life and 

to attain eternal life in the next.” 

Belief in the Resurrection demands faith in Jesus 

Christ as our Lord and Savior, Who has come to take 

away all the sins of the world. If Christ’s Resurrection 

is only head knowledge for us and does not affect how 

we live, then we will not experience rising gloriously. 

It is the Holy Spirit who reveals to us that Jesus is 

truly God and Man, that He died and rose from the dead 

to take away all of our sins. 

Unfortunately, some Christians have heard this Scripture 

proclaimed again and again, yet Jesus’ Resurrection 

does not seem to impact their lives. Apparently, they 

have never really believed it in their hearts. 

They need our witness. They need to see that our 

lives reveal to them the risen Christ. 

There are others who have believed but have become 

distracted by all that the world has to offer. We owe it to 

them to demonstrate by our very lives what the risen 

Christ has done and is doing in our lives. They need to 

observe that our choices are dictated by our hope of the 

Resurrection. They need to see that the Holy Spirit leads 

us to yearn for the Resurrection. 

We live in an age that denies life after death. That is 

why our current culture is called a culture of death. It 

worships only creatures, because it does not believe 

in a Creator. It does not believe in life after death. This 

causes the death of hope. If the things people see, feel 

and possess are all that there is, then they will end up in 

despair. 

For us, belief in the Resurrection is everything! If 

I truly know that Jesus is my savior and that He died to 

take away all of my sins, then I can afford to admit 

that I am a sinner, for I have a ready remedy, and that 

is the mercy of Jesus. 

So many people deny their sinfulness, because they 

do not know the mercy of Jesus. Experiencing the 

mercy of Jesus that flows from the Resurrection fills 

us with incredible joy. That is the joy that our world 

needs to see. Let your face and your life radiate the 

Resurrection!

Daughter of Charity embraces role 

MARCH 25-31, 2013 

of helping men to become stronger fathers 

Sister Carol Schumer 

has spent 15 years at 

Fathers’ Support Center 



Sister Carol Schumer believes 

in giving people a hand up, not a 

hand out. But she also knows that 

one does not have to go it alone 

when facing the struggles of life. 

For 15 years, the Daughter of 

Charity has served as a parenting 

skills specialist with the Fathers’ 

Support Center in north St. Louis. 

The center’s core program is The 

Family Formation — a six-week 

“boot camp” — that gives fathers 

a chance to develop their personal 

and parenting skills. The program 

also helps them to develop spiritually 

and emotionally to become 

stronger fathers. 

Sister Carol’s 

past life as a school 

teacher and administrator 

is evident in 

how she approaches 

her class. She wants 

the tables in a ushape, 

so everybody 

can see one another. 

Small bowls of 

candy are scattered 

around. And nobody 

is an observer in her 

class, even the center’s 

staff who stop 

by for a visit. 

“Everybody who 

comes has to sit at 

the table,” she said.

use. Sister Carol said that while 

she still gets nervous on the fi rst 

day of class, she knows that she’s 

right where she needs to be. She 

noted that her service 

fi ts in well with 

the charism of the 

Vincentian community, 

the Daughters 

of Charity, which 

she entered in 1966 

from her hometown 

of Perryville. 

“Our charism is 

service to persons 

who are poor,” she 

said. “If Jesus was 

here now, He’d be 

right alongside these 

men. It is a blessing 

to be able to walk 

with them.” 

Sister Carol started 

as a volunteer at 

the Family Support 

Center shortly after 

it opened in 1998. 

She had learned about the center 

through a Vincentian priest, Father 

Ed Murphy. Since its founding, the 

center has served more than 9,000 

fathers with programs that include 

employment assistance and mentoring, 

a legal clinic and a Fathers’ 

Rap group, the center’s after-hours 

prorgam. The center recently received 

a $722,000 Mathematica 

Policy Research grant, issued by 

the U.S. Department of Health and 

Human Services’ Administration 

for Children and Families, which 

will analyze the program as a possible 

national model. 

Over the past 15 years, Sister 

Carol has reached more than 1,200 

men in the 85 classes she has facilitated. 

She tells each participant 

that there are three key elements 

needed to become healthy — high 

self-esteem, self-discipline and social 

competence. 

Her infl uence as a Catholic 

woman religious also is apparent. 

“We start each class with prayer.

in which a 2-year-old spilled

— “Did you spill the milk?” — 

and then asked the men what they

“No,” said one father. 

“I didn’t do it,” said another.

“That’s right,” she said. “It 

doesn’t do us any good — or the 

child — to ask if they did it. At that 

age, they don’t understand what it 

means to lie. Now a 10-year-old 

lies. You need to know the difference.” 

Sister Carol also works quickly 

to break down any potential 

racial barriers — the majority 

of men in the class are African- 

American — by asking them 

how they feel about being led 

by a white, religious sister. All 

of the fathers in her recent class

with her being another race, but 

some asked how she could contribute

Mo. legislature OKs 

benevolent tax credits 

The Missouri General Assembly 

has passed legislation that 

would restore several benevolent 

tax credit programs. 

Legislators passed SB 20 and 

Senate Committee Substitute for 

SB 15 and 19 on March 13. The 

original Senate bill was sponsored 

by Sen. Bob Dixon, R-Springfi eld. 

The bill re-established expired tax 

credits that individuals can claim 

when making donations to pregnancy 

resource centers, food pantries 

and organizations that serve 

children in crisis situations. 

“With this bill, we tap the strong 

charitable spirit of Missourians to 

drive local efforts to help Missouri’s 

neediest citizens,” Dixon 

said. “It encourages individuals 

to give locally and support their 

friends and neighbors who are on 

the front lines helping others.” 

There are 56 pregnancy resource 

centers in Missouri that 

assist women with unplanned or 

crisis pregnancies. They encourage 

women to carry their pregnancies 

to term by offering free pregnancy 

tests, counseling and emotional 

and material support. Pregnancy 

resource centers provide cost-free 

client services at the facility, as opposed 

to merely providing counseling 

or referral services by telephone. 

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Springfi 

eld) handled SB 20 on the House 

fl oor. 

When the tax credits expired on 

Aug. 27, 2012, centers began to 

notice a drop in donations. The restoration 

of these credits is expected 

to spur more donations. This bill 

would extend most of these tax 

credits until Dec. 31, 2019. SB 20

MCC ‘dismayed’ at judge’s decision 

on conscience rights in health plans 

On March 14, Judge Audrey 

Fleissig, a St. Louis U.S. District 

Court judge, struck down portions 

of Missouri law protecting 

the conscience rights of those objecting 

to paying for contraceptive 

coverage and abortion drugs 

in their health plans. 

The Missouri Catholic Conference 

(MCC), public policy 

arm of the state’s bishops, expressed 

dismay at Judge Fleissig’s 

decision, saying it attacks 

the conscience rights and religious 

liberty of all Missouri 

citizens. Tyler McClay, general 

counsel for the MCC, said no 

one should be forced to pay for 

contraceptives, abortion drugs or 

sterilization procedures in their 

health plans. 

Judge Fleissig’s order effectively 

amended Missouri law, 

McClay said, “thereby requiring 

churches and houses of worship 

to provide the offending coverage 

to their employees under 

Missouri law. She did this in spite 

of the fact that the Obama administration 

recently amended the 

rules to clearly allow churches 

and their affi liates to be exempt 

from the mandate.” 

A number of federal judges, 

including even the 8th Circuit 

Court of Appeals, have granted 

injunctive relief to several Missouri 

for-profi t employers that 

have sued, claiming that the HHS 

contraceptive mandate violates 

their religious liberty, McClay 

said. Her order specifi cally mentions 

these cases, but claims they 

are irrelevant to her decision. 

“Attorney General Chris 

Koster vigorously defended the 

law before the court, but Judge 

Fleissig dismissed his arguments. 

Now the attorney general needs 

to appeal this overreaching deci- 

sion and stand up for the religious 

liberties of all Missouri citizens,” 

he said.

Conference.

Incarnate Word Academy caps undefeated season 

BY JOSEPH KENNY 


Three Catholic schools represented 

the Archdiocese of St. Louis 

well at the Missouri high school 

basketball fi nals, with Incarnate 

Word dominating in its championship 

game and St. Joseph’s Academy 

and De Smet Jesuit High 

School fi ghting hard but ending up 

in second place. 

Two other Catholic schools from 

the archdiocese, Cor Jesu Academy 

and St. John Vianney, went to 

the Final Four before losing in the 

semifi nals. 

Games were held March 14-16 

in Columbia at Mizzou Arena. 

Incarnate Word 

Incarnate Word won the Class 

De Smet, St. Joseph’s Academy nish second 

SID HASTINGS 

Incarnate Word Academy basketball captains Nakiah Bell (2), Nia Roth (10) and Carly Frala (21) hoisted the Missouri Class 4 

state championship trophy after the Red Knights beat Webb City High School 63-22. 

4 girls championship with a 63- 

22 win over Webb City. The win 

capped a 31-0 season. Incarnate 

Word won championships in 1995, 

2006, 2010 and 2011 and fi nished 

second last year. 

Incarnate Word was dominating 

throughout the playoffs. The team 

won its previous fi ve games by 

scores of 81-31, 82-62, 61-36, 78- 

26 and 66-25. The further the team 

advanced, the more dominating it 

became. 

In the fi nals, Incarnate’s 6-foot- 

1 sophomore forward Napheesa 

Collier set the tone early, putting up 

her team’s fi rst three baskets. Then, 

senior guard Nia Roth calmly shot 

two three-pointers in a row before 

adding another. Looking extremely 

confi dent, the team played a strong, 

energetic defense to go with the of- 

fensive prowess, pulling ahead 23-9 

after the fi rst quarter and 38-17 at 

half. They limited Webb City to just 

two points in the third quarter and 

three in the fourth. 

Collier ended up with 24 points, 

making nine of her 10 shots from 

the fi eld and all six of her freethrow 

attempts. Collier also had 14 

rebounds. In a well-balanced attack, 

Roth added 14 points, Carly Frala 

had nine, Nakiah Bell had eight and 

Gwen Adams had seven. McKenna 

Treece had fi ve rebounds. 

Incarnate Word coach Dan 

Rolfes cited a team effort, but he 

said two seniors, Frala and Roth, 

“really brought it today.” He noted 

that they don’t always get the recognition 

others get, but “they work 

their tails off.” Rolfes added that “I 

love the way they play, what they’ve 

meant to our program. We’re going 

to miss them.” 

Roth noted that everyone on the 

team worked hard every day. Frala 

said the win was the best way to end 

their senior season. “I couldn’t ask 

for a better team and coach.” 

Frala said the support of the 

school community is important as 

well. “It’s so great that they’ve been 

here all season with us.” 

Rolfes, 343-51 in his career at 

Incarnate Word, noted that when 

Roth hits three-pointers “that’s the 

X factor for us. Who are you going 

to guard?” 

That result leaves room for the 

other players to drive inside, he 

noted. The strength of the team is its 

balance, he noted, with all fi ve starters 

having the ability to score and to 

play tough defense. 

Asked if the team was Incarnate’s 

best ever, he said it’s hard 

to say. It’s easy to argue that other 

teams would match up, but “I’ll 

take this team any time,” he noted. 

Rolfes noted that Webb City had 

a rebounding advantage after the 

fi rst half, but his team did a better 

job in the second half of boxing out 

opposing players to keep them from 

grabbing rebounds. Incarnate Word 

wound up with a 33-24 rebounding 

advantage. 

Webb City’s coach Brad Shorter 

called Incarnate Word “an incredible 

team. We didn’t shoot the ball 

very well … but they had something 

to do with that.” 

Defensively, he said, “they gave 

us fi ts.”

De Smet 

De Smet got off to a slow start in 

its Class 5 championship game and 

never was able to make up the defi - 

cit, losing 73-59 to a fellow Jesuit 

school, Rockhurst of Kansas City. 

De Smet, 25-7 on the year, fell 

behind 22-14 in the fi rst quarter. 

The team kept plugging away 

though, fi nishing the half with some 

good defense and drives to the basket 

by James Barton, Nolan Berry 

and Chrisopher Klages that cut 

Rockhurst’s lead to 33-27. 

Rockhurst started the second 

half with a three-pointer and extended 

its lead to between 10-12 

points for most of the rest of the 

game. De Smet cut the lead to nine 

points with about four minutes left 

but couldn’t get closer. 

Kyle Wolf had 30 points for 

Rockhurst. Barton led De Smet 

with 20 points, Berry, who got into 

foul trouble early, had 16 and Alec 

Bausch had 10. 

De Smet coach Kevin Poelker 

gave credit to Rockhurst and Wolf 

in particular. He said he has pride 

in his team, noting that Barton and 

Berry played four years for him. 

“These guys are family.” 

The run at the end of the fi rst half 

showed his team’s toughness, and 

they continued to battle back after 

getting behind, he said. 

Barton noted that the team “put 

De Smet back on the map … It’s 

been great playing with these guys.” 

Berry added that he is proud of 

his school and the team’s accomplishments. 

The team came together 

at the end of the year “and we were 

able to make this run.” 

De Smet defeated Vianney 58- 

55 the previous day, led by Berry’s 

17 points and 13 rebounds. Bausch 

had 13 points, Barton 12 and Brandon 

Shackleford 10. Vianney was 

led by Bradley Woodson with 22 

points and Sean O’Brien with 10 

points and 13 rebounds. Vianney 

mounted a comeback in the second 

half, outscoring De Smet in the fi nal 

two quarters but coming up short.

game against Columbia 

SID HASTINGS 

De Smet Jesuit High School basketball player Nolan Berry (22) 

was fouled by Rockhurst High School’s Zachariah Nelson (12) 

while driving to the basket. 

Rock Bridge 11-11 by the end of 

the fi rst quarter. The team led 25-15 

at half but couldn’t outduel a relentless 

offensive and defensive attack 

by Rock Bridge in the second half 

and lost 45-38. The win is Rock 

Bridge’s second state title in a 

row. The Columbia team executed 

a tight press and kept St. Joseph’s 

from driving to the basket in the 

second half. 

Erin Nelson led St. Joseph’s, 

23-6 on the year, with 22 points, 

Sydney Stipanovich had nine and 

Mary Barton seven. 

St. Joseph’s coach Julie Matheny, 

with a record of 332-106 at 

the school, noted that her team had 

strong execution in the fi rst half, 

especially in containing Rock 

Bridge star Sophie Cunningham, 

who came out in the second half 

and showed what a “gamer and 

winner” she is. 

Matheny cited the unselfi shness 

of the team’s seniors, showing 

team spirit and putting in extra 

hours. The team kept getting stronger 

all year, she noted. Last year’s 

team, which went to the state fi - 

nals, had two seniors now playing 

Division 1 college basketball 

programs, and many people didn’t 

think St. Joseph’s would be a contender 

without them. 

Nelson said St. Joseph’s came 

out strong. “We wanted this more 

than anything.” 

Rock Bridge capitalized on 

mistakes and her team lost some 

confi dence, she noted. 

Rock Bridge coach Jill Nagel 

praised the sportsmanship of St. 

Joseph’s, noting that the team 

encouraged her to put an injured

The game was close until St. Joseph’s

BEFORE THE CROSS 

e Year of Faith helps 

us celebrate Easter joy 

Pope Emeritus 

Benedict XVI 

has pointed out 

that during the 

baroque period, the Church’s 

liturgy used to include “the 

risus paschalis, the Easter 

laughter.” According to him, 

in those days “the Easter 

homily had to contain a story 

which made people laugh, 

so that the church resounded 

with joyful laughter. That 

may be a somewhat superfi 

cial form of Christian joy. 

But is there not something 

very beautiful and appropriate 

about laughter becoming 

a liturgical symbol?” 

The Church’s liturgy 

should always be reverent, but it does not need to be 

somber or bleak. Humor has its rightful place in the liturgy 

and in our Christian lives. Laughter is a beautiful 

and appropriate liturgical symbol, the pope emeritus 

says, when it expresses the joy that we are called to 

feel as people who have been redeemed in Christ. 

The eminent Christian philosopher Josef Pieper has 

written that joy is an emotion that must be supported 

by some cause — a reason to be joyful. Joy does not 

exist in isolation from the concrete experiences of life. 

It springs from some external factor or reason. 

Here are eight reasons why Christians should be 

joyful this Easter season and throughout this Year of 

Faith: 

1. Life. The gift of life has been given to us by God 

so that we can share in His divine life and participate 

in the work of creation. 

2. Liberation. The death and Resurrection of our 

Lord Jesus Christ has liberated us from the slavery 

of sin and death. 

3. Discipleship. We have been baptized and 

given a special share in the ministry of Jesus as 

disciples sent to proclaim the Gospel and transform 

the world. 

4. Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has 

strengthened us with His gifts. As Pope Emeritus 

Benedict teaches, “[T]he Holy Spirit is the power 

through which Christ causes us to experience His 

closeness.” 

5. Communion. The Lord has gathered us into 

His Church and has invited us to intimate communion 

with Him through frequent reception of His 

body and blood in the Eucharist. We have family, 

Easter is concerned with something 

unimaginable … when we encounter 

the Risen Lord, night gives way 

to morning, darkness dissolves and 

becomes day. Even today. In this 

promise lies the joy of Easter. 

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI 

friends and co-workers who 

know, love and respect us 

as individuals and as members 

of the family of God. 

6. Laughter. Pope 

Emeritus Benedict teaches 

that “the Book of Revelation’s 

vision of heaven expresses 

what we see by faith 

at Easter: the Lamb who 

was slain lives. Since Christ 

lives, our weeping comes to 

an end and is transformed 

into laughter.” 

7. Participation in the 

Church’s mission. We are 

invited to “full, conscious 

and active participation” in 

the liturgy of our Church 

and in the ministries of our parish, archdiocese and 

the Church Universal. We are invited to participate 

actively in the community life of our neighborhoods, 

our cities, our nation and our world without suffering 

from oppression or fear because we know that our true 

and lasting city is in heaven. 

8. Divine love. We are loved immeasurably. “Neither 

death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things 

present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, 

nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be 

able to separate us from the love of God in Christ 

Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:35-39). 

As part of our continuing observance of the Year 

of Faith, I plan to write about each of these “reasons 

to be joyful” during the weeks between Easter and 

Pentecost. Starting with the gift of life and ending 

with our faith-fi lled conviction that God loves us 

beyond all comprehension, I want to refl ect on what 

the pope emeritus means when he tells us that “when 

we encounter the Risen Lord, night gives way to 

morning, darkness dissolves and becomes day. Even 

today. In this promise lies the joy of Easter.” 

We begin with the gift of life because this is the 

Creator God’s most profound gift to each one of 

us — the opportunity to share in His divine life. We 

conclude with divine love because it is God’s love 

that frees us, sustains us and makes it possible for us 

to love Him, and one another, in return. 

This is the season of Easter joy. It is the time of 

year when our Christian faith pays special attention 

to the heartfelt joy that is an integral part of life in 

Christ. Let’s celebrate the Year of Faith with gratitude 

and an abundance of true joy. God loves us and 

gives us a share in His divine life. Alleluia!
