Pg. 3<br />

<br />

The Hour of The<br />

Lord Jesus has<br />

become a week in<br />

our lives, Holy Week. We<br />

now begin the Octave<br />

of Easter, the eight<br />

days which our ancient<br />

Eastern Church referred<br />

to as Bright Week.<br />

Fasting has become<br />

Feasting. In fact, our<br />

Byzantine Church goes<br />

so far as to forbid fasting<br />

during these days.<br />

Death must give way<br />

to the bright promise<br />

of immortality: For<br />

this perishable nature<br />

must put on the<br />

imperishable, and this<br />

mortal nature must put<br />

on immortality. When<br />

the perishable puts<br />

on the imperishable,<br />

and the mortal puts on<br />

immortality, then shall<br />

come to pass the saying<br />

that is written: ‘Death<br />

is swallowed up in<br />

victory. O death, where<br />

is thy victory? O death,<br />

where is thy sting?’ (1<br />

Cor 15:53-5) The newly<br />

by Pastor Rev. Julian P. Harris<br />

Baptized traditionally<br />

wore bright or white<br />

garments signifying<br />

outwardly their inward<br />

dignity, purity and joy as<br />

newly born children of<br />

God: For once you were<br />

darkness, but now you<br />

are light in the Lord;<br />

walk as children of<br />

light. (Eph 5:8)<br />

We have all stepped<br />

out of the darkness into<br />

the Easter Light of Christ<br />

Who dispels all darkness:<br />

Therefore it is said,<br />

‘Awake, O sleeper, and<br />

arise from the dead, and<br />

Christ shall give you<br />

light.’ Look carefully<br />

then how you walk, not<br />

as unwise men but as<br />

wise, making the most<br />

of the time, because the<br />

days are evil. (Eph 5:14-<br />

6) Guard against a return<br />

to the shadow-life, for<br />

there is something about<br />

us and in us that prefers<br />

the shadow-existence to<br />

the bright light of life:<br />

Therefore be careful<br />

lest the light in you be<br />

darkness. If then your<br />

whole body is full of<br />

light, having no part<br />

dark, it will be wholly<br />

bright, as when a lamp<br />

with its rays gives you<br />

light. (Lk 11:35-6)<br />

You see, it is easier,<br />

more in our nature, to<br />

believe in evil and death<br />

and to withdraw our faith<br />

in man than to believe in<br />

good and life and to put<br />

our faith in man.<br />

We proclaim the 11 th -<br />

Century Easter Sequence<br />

Victimae Paschali before<br />

the Gospel throughout<br />

Bright Week:<br />

Christians, to the<br />

Paschal Victim<br />

Offer your thankful<br />

praises!<br />

Death and life have<br />

contended in that<br />

combat stupendous:<br />

The Prince of life, Who<br />

died, reigns immortal.<br />

Christ indeed from<br />

death is risen,

our new life obtaining.<br />

Have mercy, victor King,<br />

ever reigning!<br />

Amen. Alleluia.<br />

No longer content with<br />

obscurity as members of<br />

Christ’s Bride The Church,<br />

<br />

the eyes of men so visibly<br />

that no one will be able<br />

to overlook you or fail to<br />

hear your hymn of the<br />

victory of life over death,<br />

of truth over falsehood.<br />

Of us Jesus said to His<br />

Father: They are not of<br />

the world, even as I am<br />

not of the world. Sanctify<br />

them in the truth; Thy<br />

word is truth. As Thou<br />

didst send me into the<br />

world, so I have sent<br />

them into the world. (Jn<br />

17:16-8)<br />

We and the truth we<br />

bear are lifted up with<br />

our Risen Lord like the<br />

seraph serpent in the<br />

desert: As Moses lifted<br />

up the serpent in the<br />

wilderness, so must the<br />

Son of man be lifted up,<br />

that whoever believes in<br />

Him may have eternal<br />

life. (Jn 3:14-5)<br />

King David prophesied<br />

in the 118 th Psalm that<br />

which the Prophetess<br />

Anna foretold of the<br />

Infant Jesus and which<br />

<br />

his living eyes: To you<br />

therefore who believe,<br />

He is precious, but for<br />

those who do not believe,<br />

“The very stone which<br />

the builders rejected<br />

has become the head<br />

of the corner,” and “A<br />

stone that will make<br />

men stumble, a rock that<br />

will make them fall”; for<br />

they stumble because<br />

they disobey the word,<br />

as they were destined to<br />

do. But you are a chosen<br />

race, a royal priesthood,<br />

a holy nation, God’s own<br />

people, that you may<br />

declare the wonderful<br />

deeds of Him Who called<br />

you out of darkness into<br />

His marvelous light. (1<br />

Pet 2:7-9)<br />

You, Beloved of God, are<br />

that rock against which<br />

Hell itself contends only<br />

to be itself harrowed:<br />

And I tell you, you are<br />

Peter, and on this rock<br />

I will build My Church,<br />

and the powers of death<br />

shall not prevail against<br />

it. (Matt 16:18)<br />

You, Beloved of God,<br />

bear the sign of the Cross<br />

in your own bodies and<br />

as you stand before the<br />

world as witnesses to<br />

Truth you cast the light<br />

of the Cross over...those<br />

who sit in darkness and<br />

in the shadow of death,<br />

to guide our feet into<br />

the way of peace (Lk<br />

1:79). The late Hans Urs<br />

von Balthasar penned<br />

these words for Jesus to<br />

speak to us: So there you<br />

stand, My Bride, truly a<br />

sign over the peoples at<br />

<br />

widely known but little<br />

loved sign...It is not your<br />

love—that overcomes<br />

the world—which is a<br />

scandal to them; for<br />

that is a scandal which<br />

you should give! Their<br />

scandal, rather, is your<br />

lukewarmness and your<br />

unbridled lack of love.<br />

You were meant to be<br />

for men an image of the<br />

unity between Me and<br />

the Father, and it was for<br />

this that I sent you Our<br />

Holy Spirit, the bond of<br />

unifying love; for this it<br />

was that I established<br />

you on the all-embracing<br />

unity of baptism, doctrine<br />

and the uninterrupted<br />

succession from Peter to<br />

[Benedict XVI]. (<br />

, 193)<br />

Don’t let your light fade<br />

to shadow, the blaze of<br />

your love become the soft<br />

glow of self-love, your<br />

zeal for the things of God<br />

become consumerism’s<br />

zeal for mere things, the<br />

mercy you have received<br />

become judgment and toxic<br />

criticism of those who--out<br />

of fear for you and your<br />

avenging god—hesitate<br />

to venture forth from the<br />

shadows into the bright of<br />

life and light and hope for<br />

tomorrow in Christ.<br />

.<br />

Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!<br />

Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,<br />

humble and riding on a donkey.<br />

Palm Sunday of the Passion of our Lord<br />

April 1st 2<strong>01</strong>2<br />

by Rev. Julian P. Harris,<br />

Pastor<br />

I wish to inform all<br />

ministers and parishioners<br />

of the circumstances that<br />

have persisted for too long<br />

in the Blessed Sacrament<br />

Chapel here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong><br />

<strong>More</strong> Parish.<br />

Access to this chapel was<br />

restricted to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong><br />

<strong>More</strong> Parishioners who<br />

were issued the access code<br />

with the understanding<br />

that it was not to be<br />

shared. Unfortunately this<br />

code is regularly traded<br />

among people who have<br />

no connection with our<br />

parish. As a result, the<br />

chapel has become the<br />

scene of unruly, dangerous<br />

and even unseemly conduct<br />

by persons unknown that<br />

have gained access to the<br />

chapel door code.<br />

Screaming, crying and<br />

loud group meetings are<br />

taking place in the chapel<br />

into the wee hours of the<br />

morning. Of course we<br />

have empathy for<br />

people who are<br />

in distress and<br />

calling out to<br />

The Lord for<br />

help in his<br />

or her<br />

own way. But the chapel<br />

is connected directly to the<br />

Rectory, and we priests are<br />

often awakened during the<br />

night with all manner of<br />

commotion coming from<br />

there.<br />

Frequently many burning<br />

candles are left unattended<br />

by persons unknown. The<br />

containers are homemade<br />

<br />

material. <strong>St</strong>yrene candles<br />

when burned emit a black<br />

discharge that is poisonous.<br />

Recently I found 25 burning<br />

candles placed all about the<br />

chapel. The styrene had<br />

become a burning liquid<br />

<br />

to be burned alive in the<br />

rectory if this continues.<br />

Persons are throwing<br />

money over the protective<br />

glass to rain down on the<br />

tabernacle. It is irreverent<br />

and an invitation to thieves<br />

to commit vandalism. And<br />

there are more unfortunate<br />

and unseemly occurrences<br />

that do not bear mention<br />

in polite company.<br />

Signs, passive procedures<br />

and camera surveillance<br />

have proven ineffective.<br />

It is past time that I take<br />

prudent and decisive<br />

action to address this<br />

distressing and frankly<br />

dangerous situation.<br />

After consultation with<br />

the priests, who legitimately<br />

require a tranquil and safe<br />

place to live, the Eucharistic<br />

Ministers who visit the<br />

homebound and sick with<br />

Holy Communion and other<br />

STM parishioners who<br />

frequent the chapel, I have<br />

decided to make a Priest’s<br />

Chapel for the resident<br />

clergy to offer unscheduled<br />

Masses and prayers in<br />

private.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

There are Perpetual<br />

Adoration Chapels at<br />

nearby parishes designed<br />

to ensure the safety of the<br />

visitor and chapel and the<br />

integrity of The Blessed<br />

Sacrament. Of course<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong> Parish<br />

Church and Daily Mass<br />

Chapel remain open every<br />

day for private visits from<br />

6:00 in the morning until<br />

6:00 in the evening.<br />

Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!<br />

Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,<br />

humble and riding on a donkey.<br />

Meditation Garden of <strong>St</strong>. Peregrine<br />

by Rev. Julian P. Harris,<br />

Pastor<br />

The LORD God said unto<br />

David His servant: With<br />

all your heart you wanted<br />

to build a temple for my Name.<br />

It is good that you wanted to do<br />

that. (1 Kg 8:18) The late Rev.<br />

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was<br />

inspired by God’s pleasure to<br />

<br />

Dreams in which he says: Each<br />

of you …in some way is working<br />

towards some kind of temple.<br />

The struggle is always there. Its<br />

gets discouraging some times…<br />

well, that is the story of life. And<br />

the thing that makes me happy<br />

is that I can hear a voice crying<br />

through the vista of time, saying:<br />

It may not come today or<br />

it may not come tomorrow, but<br />

it is well that it is within thine<br />

heart…Thank God that we have<br />

hearts to put something meaningful<br />

into.<br />

Our <strong>St</strong>. Peregrine Garden is<br />

such a temple. It is a temple of<br />

honor and of memory to those<br />

who carry the burden of cancer<br />

as victims and survivors, and to<br />

those who helped them bear the<br />

load. It’s path many have and<br />

alas will walk in this life. It can<br />

be a lonely path with only Jesus<br />

to walk beside you through the<br />

lonesome valley. It too often is<br />

the last walk we will take because<br />

it leads to that<br />

ultimate rendezvous between<br />

rection.<br />

It can be a miraculous<br />

journey where you meet Jesus<br />

Christ the Healer along the way,<br />

as it was for <strong>St</strong>. Peregrine the<br />

Cancer-Saint. It is always in<br />

our hearts that with the help of<br />

God’s amazing grace and our<br />

prayers joined to those of The<br />

Saint the hard path will lead to<br />

that greatest news—cancer free!<br />

As temples ourselves we carry<br />

the Names and the inspirations<br />

of our loved ones who lived<br />

heroically with cancer. It fell to<br />

us spouses, children, friends or<br />

kind caregivers to accompany<br />

them, to love them, to minister<br />

to their bodies and to be witnesses<br />

to their nobility. Their<br />

Names are written in our hearts,<br />

but we, like them, must one<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Peregrine<br />

Pg.<br />

13<br />

day lay down our mortality for<br />

immortality. We must not lay<br />

down their Names with us.<br />

For the sake of their Names<br />

and their lives we have it in our<br />

hearts to build this temple of<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Peregrine. We want them to<br />

be remembered, their Names<br />

sung long after all of us have<br />

gone and a place to mark their<br />

passing along the road of life.<br />

The Bible tells us: Have regard<br />

to thy name; for that shall continue<br />

with thee above a thousand<br />

great treasures of gold. A<br />

good life hath but few days: but<br />

a good name endureth for ever.<br />

(Sirach 41:12-13) This Memorial<br />

Path marks the struggle and<br />

the Memorial Wall perpetuates<br />

the Names from one generation<br />

to the next at<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong> Church.<br />

It is the nature of life that much<br />

will be left undone when The<br />

LORD calls us from this world to<br />

Himself. This Memorial should<br />

not be one of them. Endow a<br />

brick in the path or a plaque on<br />

the wall to proclaim your love<br />

and their Good Name. With the<br />

memorial they will be remembered<br />

and prayed for forever in<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong>.<br />

Palm Sunday of the Passion of our Lord<br />

April 1st 2<strong>01</strong>2<br />

por el Rev. Julian P. Harris<br />

Pastor<br />

Deseo informar a<br />

todos los ministros<br />

y feligreses de los<br />

constantes inconvenientes<br />

que durante mucho<br />

tiempo se han suscitado<br />

en la Capilla del Santísimo<br />

Sacramento aquí en<br />

nuestra parroquia.<br />

En primer lugar el acceso<br />

a esta capilla se limito solo<br />

a feligreses de la parroquia<br />

por tal motivo se creó un<br />

código que solo debía ser<br />

usado estrictamente por<br />

los miembros de nuestra<br />

Iglesia. Lamentablemente<br />

dicho código fue<br />

compartido con personas<br />

que no tienen ninguna<br />

relación con nuestra<br />

parroquia. Como resultado<br />

la Capilla se ha convertido<br />

en escenario de conducta<br />

impropia y peligrosa<br />

causada por personas<br />

que han tenido acceso de<br />

alguna u otra manera al<br />

código de la puerta. Grupos<br />

escandalosos con gritos<br />

y llantos han sido<br />

una constante<br />

que se extiende<br />

hasta altas<br />

horas de la<br />

madrugada. Cabe destacar<br />

que somos solidarios con<br />

todas las personas que<br />

tienen problemas, están<br />

desesperados y vienen<br />

a suplicar la ayuda de<br />

Dios y sabemos que cada<br />

persona tiene su propia<br />

manera de clamar por<br />

ayuda, sin embrago la<br />

Capilla está conectada a<br />

la casa de los sacerdotes y<br />

nosotros constantemente<br />

despertamos sobre<br />

exaltados debido a los<br />

gritos y conmociones que<br />

provienen de la Capilla.<br />

Con frecuencia dejan<br />

velas encendidas sin tomar<br />

las debidas precauciones,<br />

las mismas son colocadas<br />

en envases de fabricación<br />

casera de material volátil<br />

<br />

que son manufacturadas<br />

de materiales sintéticos<br />

emiten un humo negro que<br />

por lo general es toxico,<br />

recientemente encontré 25<br />

velas encendidas por toda<br />

la capilla dejando el piso<br />

negro de las emisiones de<br />

este material toxico, nos<br />

van a quemar vivos si esta<br />

situación persiste.<br />

Por otro lado algunas<br />

personas que visitan la<br />

capilla se han dado a la<br />

tarea de lanzar dinero<br />

detrás del vidrio que<br />

protege el Tabernáculo,<br />

este es un acto irreverente<br />

y una invitación a los<br />

ladrones a cometer actos de<br />

vandalismo. Han existido<br />

mas hechos lamentables e<br />

indecorosos que no vale la<br />

pena mencionar.<br />

Todos los dispositivos<br />

de seguridad que sean<br />

implementado han resultado<br />

<br />

ya es hora de que yo tome<br />

acción prudente y decisiva<br />

para hacer frente a esta<br />

situación penosa y peligrosa.<br />

Junio 11 del 2<strong>01</strong>2<br />

<br />

<br />

Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!<br />

Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,<br />

humble and riding on a donkey.<br />

Zachariah 9:9
