Dear Friends:

While I am not ‘officially’ on vacation as of yet, being with our Married Couples here in the desert is a close sec-ond. The opportunity to watch them arrive with their shoulders tight with the tensions of the week....and then to observe it slowly dissipate as they experience the comfort of their rooms, the pleasant/ample sips and nibbles by which the Retreat begins in our Hospitality Suite and then the casual walk over to the Conference Room under the darkening desert sky; it is fun to watch their transformations in ‘real-time’. Once they have settled into their Conference Room seats and introduced themselves to whomever they do not recognize...I am relieved to have helped (along with Mary and Frank) put together an opportunity for them to renew their marriage relationships within the spiritual embrace of a Retreat. I hope you will notice a difference when you see them back at the par-ish next weekend....we are trying our best to return them to you refreshed, renewed and more deeply in love with each other than they were last week...you can let us know how we did.

Anticipating my prolonged mountain get-away in the coming days, my cabin is pleasantly private, set far apart from other nearby dwellings and surrounded by a pine and oak forest. Being the mountains, I have gotten ‘most-ly’ comfortable with the assorted critters with whom I share my surroundings: squirrels, quail, jays, an occasional eagle, plenty of hawks, raccoons of course, foxes, coyotes, deer, mosquitos after it rains, occasional outbursts of flies and only twice in 22 years, rattlesnakes. Ranking slightly behind the rattlesnakes in unpleasant experiences are the mice that can easily infest a woodpile, spice closet or even unprotected bedding if suitable precautions are not taken ahead of time. Which leads me back to an episode that Deacon Michael and I experienced for about a week in early July when the Rectory was terrorized, not by mice...but by one of their relatives.... ‘the rat from hell.’ Yes, right here within the ‘Land of Gracious Living’ we shared the house with the disgusting rodent. Having gnawed a hole in the rubber weather stripping on the garage door, it announced its presence with a plentitude of ‘droppings’ around the garage. Within the next few days, WHOLE apples would disappear from the kitchen fruit bowl during the night, holes were gnawed in the walls...perfectly round...by which the intruder could nav-igate within the walls or go room to room. Despite multiple glue traps baited with apples, chocolate and peanut butter, the wily vermin would escape from them...something that even long-ago Seminarian Nicolaus had a hard time doing when he stepped in one during our last home invasion five years ago. The ‘problem’ became PER-SONAL when the rat gnawed on my toothbrush...IN MY BATHROOM....and I, in a hurry to simply brush and get on with whatever I needed to do, did not notice it until the bristles started coming apart in my mouth and to my horror I then saw the pile of chewed-off bristles on the counter. Can one ever spit or rinse their mouth enough after having shared a toothbrush with a rat!?!? (Peter Parker got bit by a radioactive spider and became Spider Man....dare I dread what may become of me for sharing spit with a rat??) Upping the ante, Michael and I abandoned the glue traps and escalated to the SNAPPING type, the ones which can break a finger if one is not cautious. With six of them strategically placed around the house and garage, we finally caught the intruder...even more disgusting in death than he was while sneaking invisibly around our home. I will admit, as a kid, when I first watched ‘Old Yeller’ I cried my eyes out when he had to be killed...jump ahead sixty + years....when I dropped the rat and the trap into the trash can I felt NOTHING but relief. How’s that for a Summer story by which I share a bit of the bigger picture of how we priests, seminarians and deacons live our lives?

The Dormitio (falling-asleep) of Mary - The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin MaryWednesday, August 15th is the occasion for us to gather in remembrance of the special relationship God es-tablished with one of our own, Mary. Having opened herself fully to bring Jesus into our world, Mary became the first of our Saints and on August 15th we commemorate our faith-guided understanding that, following her death, Jesus, being the Son of God, could and presumably would have preserved his mother’s body from experiencing the ravages of decay and gifted her with the ‘first fruits’ by ‘assuming’ her into heaven, body and soul. We honor this Solemnity with a Vigil Mass at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 14th and then the usual morning Mass at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, August 15th.

A SPECIAL SUMMER TREAT....that does not cost a dime...is coming in the next few weeks: the Perseids Mete-or Showers. The Perseids are one of the brighter meteor showers of the year. They occur every year between July 17 and August 24 and tend to peak around August 9th-13th. Made of tiny space debris from the comet Swift-Tut-tle, the Perseids are named after the constellation Perseus. This is because the direction from which the shower seems to come in the sky lies in the same direction as Perseus. The Perseids are widely sought after by astrono-mers and stargazers because most years at its peak, one can see 60 to 100 meteors in an hour from a dark place. Find yourself (and your family) as dark a location as possible and enjoy the show. You can Google PERSEIDS METEOR SHOWERS for the best specific times by which to enjoy them to their fullest.

Thanks for your time and attention. Enjoy these August weeks and remember, you are loved. FKB

August 4-5, 2018Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Exodus 16:2-15 Ephesians 4:17-24 John 6:24-35If one is traveling to Washington, D.C., the National Mall beckons, as it always does, with an abundance of museums, memorials, impressive structures and shrines. Within the relatively new (and spectacular) Museum dedicated to the assorted Native American Indian Tribes that have inhabited our continental landscape throughout the centuries, is the ability to purchase and enjoy the NATIVE FOODS that would have defined each individual tribe. For example, the Northwest Tribes had a diet rich in Salmon while those in the Midwest hunted bison, while those in the Northeast lived on a variety of deer, elk, and native vegetables along with shellfish and plenty of oysters; restaurant meals, on each level of the Museum, featuring these items, along with their native manner of preparations, are available to be purchased and enjoyed. In our selection from Exodus this weekend we hear the remembrance of the Jewish people, that, following their ancestors’ exodus from Egypt, God provided them with food by which to be sustained: quail for meat and manna for bread. In the Gospel selection, as we do every year in these latter weeks of Summer, we hear of Jesus describing HIMSELF as the BREAD OF LIFE. This weekend begins a series of weeks when we are invited to consider the gift of EUCHARIST, the flesh and blood of Jesus in the consecrated bread and wine, offered us at Mass. As each Native American tribe had their own specialty diet, we too, as Roman Catholic people of faith, have a diet meant to nurture our communion with one another as well as binding us more intimately with Jesus. Honoring the instructions given at the Last Supper to ‘do this in memory of me’, we are encouraged to appreciate the DIVINE which exists within the external image of bread and wine and ponder what the invitation to ‘take and eat, take and drink’ means? Sometimes received by rote as part of a spiritual routine, the gift of Eucharist has depths only fully understood outside of Mass within our personal silences as well as our conversations with Jesus. We will be TASTING of these Eucharistic themes for the remained of the month...so, settle in, clean your palate, prepare to savor what you receive at Mass and start to remember when your Eucharistic diet gave you the strength you needed at different times in your life.

Thank you for sharing prayer, worship and Eucharist with our Santa Clara community this weekend. Please keep those Married Couples on retreat in the desert this weekend in your prayers. The Bulletin has other news and tidbits of information for your ‘consumption’ so please take a copy home with you. Enjoy these beginning days of August, especially considering that for many, school will be soon resuming and remember, you are loved. FKB

Being in a ‘temporary facility’ we are excused…but in case you go to a neighboring parish for Mass…. Posture Change during the Eucharistic PrayerFrom time to time it is worthwhile to examine why we do the things we do. This is especially true for us Catholics who wish to show proper reverence and awe for the Most Holy Eucharist. We know that what we do at Sacred Liturgy forms us, and others who observe us, in ways that sometimes supersedes words! This is especially true with bodily postures.

Some people point to an informality that continues to foster itself in our society: our casual manner in the way we address people by using only first names, our relaxed attire at social engagements and not “dressing up,” and the fact that we do not stand up when someone of importance walks into a room. It can also creep unconsciously into our celebration of Liturgy.

In order to counter this indifference and help foster a sense of awe and gratitude for the gift of the Eucharist, Bishop Vann has asked that we make a change in our posture during the latter part of the Eucharistic Prayer. Currently we stand from the Great Amen until after receiving Holy Communion. The faithful are now asked to start kneeling after the Lamb of God (Agnus Dei) in awe and veneration of what is taking place on the Altar of Sacrifice. This change is to be implemented in parishes by the last Sunday in August and will help us to prepare ourselves spiritually for the dedication of our Cathedral, where this posture change will become normative.

There are occasions when this posture won’t be possible, such as when an individual is prevented by ill health, or for reasons of lack of space, of the large number of people present, or for another reasonable cause. (continued on next page)

Cardinal Farrell again says priests have ‘no credibility’ for marriage prepDublin, Ireland, Jul 5, 2018 / 03:00 pm (CNA).- The Vatican official leading the Church’s office for laity, family, and life has said that priests do not have the credibility or experience to prepare couples for marriage. The official made similar remarks to Catholic leaders in September 2017.

During an interview with the Irish Catholic magazine Intercom, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life, said that “priests are not the best people to train others for marriage.”

“They have no credibility; they have never lived the experience; they may know moral theology, dogmatic theology in theory, but to go from there to putting it into practice every day....they don’t have the experience,” the cardinal added.Last September, speaking to a convention of Catholic leaders in Ireland, Farrell said that priests have “no credibility when it comes to living the reality of marriage,” calling for laity to organize and administer marriage preparation programs.

Pope Francis’ 2016 exhortation Amoris laetitia called for renewed attention to marriage preparation programs, with particular focus on “grounding marriage preparation in the process of Christian initiation by bringing out the connection between marriage, baptism and the other sacraments.” Francis encouraged the involvement of “missionary couples,” “pastoral resources,” and the entire “parish community” in marriage preparation.

“There are a number of legitimate ways to structure programmes of marriage preparation,” Francis noted, adding that “each local Church will discern how best to provide a suitable formation without distancing young people from the sacrament.” The pope also emphasized the importance of the sacrament of penance during the marriage preparation process.

Born in Ireland and ordained a priest in 1978 as a member of the Legion of Christ, Farrell eventually relocated to Washington, DC, serving as director of Washington’s Spanish Catholic Center, before becoming the archdiocese’s finance officer in 1989. In 2002, he became an auxiliary bishop of Washington, serving as moderator of the curia and vicar general, a chief advisory role, to Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, with whom Farrell lived in a renovated parish building in Washington’s Kalorama neighborhood.

In 2007, Farrell was appointed the Bishop of Dallas. He became the first prefect of the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life in September 2016. The office was established when Pope Francis merged the Pontifical Council for the Laity and the Pontifical Council for the Family, calling for a streamlined office focused on marriage preparation, family formation, and promoting lay apostolates. Farrell became a cardinal in November 2016.

Being in a ‘temporary facility’ we are excused…but in case you go to a neighboring parish for Mass…. Posture Change during the Eucharistic Prayer (continued)It might not be possible in our communities that are worshipping in temporary Worships Spaces that don’t enjoy the use of kneelers. However, we can all enjoy a heightened awareness and attentiveness to the sacred action. Through our increase mindfulness of “doing things differently,” this change in posture will hopefully help us become more conscious and intentional about our sense of reverence and awe of Jesus’ Body and Blood.

This posture change is in keeping with the directives that we have been given in the General Instruction to the Roman Missal (GIRM), which is the “instruction manual” for how we celebrate Mass. The directives in the GIRM give us both universal norms for the Roman Catholic Church as well as “particular law” for the United States. It also gives authority to a Diocesan Bishop to establish norms for the benefit and well-being of the faithful for his particular diocese, which may vary from the surrounding dioceses and change over time. Our gestures and postures help to bring about a unity as we all do things the same way at the same time. It also helps to make clear the meanings of different parts of the Mass and fosters our participation in our Sacred Liturgy. Let all that we do help us enter into our prayer and worship to bring about our sanctification and that of our world.

Volunteer Opportunity We are in need of additional Sacristans for all the Sunday masses as well as Saturday and weekdays. Sacristans are responsible for having everything ready for Mass, including the vessels, linens, hosts, wine, books etc. and for removing the items, cleaning/purifying them and returning them to their proper locations. Sacristans arrive about 30 minutes before their scheduled mass and remain about 15 minutes after mass. Members of this ministry serve about once a month. If you’re interested in becoming a Sacristan, Terry Eubanks will provide your training. You can reach him at [email protected].

Priests and Marriage Preparation COMMENTARY: Rather than being an insurmountable handicap, my priesthood is actually an asset. Father Roger Landry

One of the duties of parish priests is to prepare couples for the sacrament of matrimony. Many priests love this work. Others admit they find parts of it taxing. But almost all parish priests do it, dedicate quite a lot of time to doing it, and, like other aspects of priestly work, try to do it well.

That’s why it came as quite a shock earlier this month when Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the prefect for the Vatican’s Dicastery of Laity, Family and Life, which is in charge of the Church’s universal care for the family, declared that priests are basically incompetent to do this work.

In an interview printed in the July/August edition of Intercom magazine, published by the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Cardinal Farrell made headlines when he said, “Priests are not the best people to train others for marriage. They have no credibility. They have never lived the experience. They may know moral theology, dogmatic theology in theory, but to go from there to putting it into practice every day … they don’t have the experience.”

This was not the first time he has alleged universal priestly ineptitude with regard to marriage preparation. Last September, at a conference in Belfast, he emphasized that priests have “no credibility in this area” because they have “no credibility when it comes to living the reality of marriage.” What is needed, he said, is accompaniment by other married couples “who have walked in [married couples’] shoes.”

He implied that his comprehensive assertions might be partly autobiographical extrapolations because, he said, he didn’t “have a clue” when his own nieces and nephews asked him some questions about marital difficulties. “I have no experience of that, and the majority of priests don’t have that experience,” he said.

But in the Intercom interview he also contended that priests’ lack of competence and credibility is matched by a lack of commitment. Basing himself on his previous experience as the bishop of Dallas, he said, priests, with all of their duties, “are not going to be interested in organizing marriage meetings.”

Priests who are in fact interested in organizing meetings with couples to help them get ready for the sacrament of marriage found his comments disheartening and disturbing. Many married couples likewise found them bewildering.

Earlier this month I was in Lubbock, Texas, giving four talks at the “Diocesan Family Camp” on how marital love is free, full, faithful and fruitful. Several of the married couples present, in the wake of Cardinal Farrell’s comments, sent me emails thanking me once again for my work and saying that they found my talks, and Bishop Robert Coerver’s opening keynote, credible, helpful and attuned to the realities of marriage and family life. I similarly got emails from various couples I’ve prepared for marriage over the last 19 years, saying how grateful they were for what they received from the hours we spent together.

It’s one thing to make the obvious point that effective marriage preparation involves not just parish priests but well-trained married couples, something that happens in most parish, diocesan and online marriage-preparation courses in the United States. Cardinal Farrell’s regrettable emphasis, however, was not to encourage lay involvement, but to undermine priests’ involvement and credibility — as if, because they’ve never been married, priests have nothing to contribute. This led Providence Bishop Thomas Tobin humorously to tweet, “It seems fair to ask, then, if a celibate cleric has sufficient ‘credibility’ to lead a dicastery devoted to laity, family and life.”

Cardinal Farrell’s comments made me wonder how familiar he is with St. John Paul II’s works on marriage, which take up his objections and persuasively refute them. In the opening words of the introduction to his book Love and Responsibility, for example, the future pope took up the objection:

“There exists a view that only married people may speak about marriage, and that only persons who experience love between a man and a woman may speak about such love. This view demands personal and direct experience as the basis for speaking in a

given field. Thus, priests, religious and celibate persons cannot have anything to say on matters of love and marriage.”

Then he responded: “A lack of their own personal experience does not hinder them since they possess a very rich indirect experience proceeding from pastoral work … [where] they encounter precisely these problems so often and in such a variety of ways and situations that another experience is created, experience that is undoubtedly more indirect and ‘foreign,’ but at the same time much more extensive.”

Even though priests don’t have firsthand experience of marital life, St. John Paul underlined, they have a far more extensive secondhand experience than almost anyone because of their pastoral work hearing confessions, counseling couples, and sharing the joys and struggles of their married spiritual sons and daughters. They also have their firsthand exposure to the reality of family life from growing up in a family.

His Eminence, however, not only seems to have forgotten John Paul II’s insights, but also seems unaware of what Pope Francis has said about priests and marriage preparation.

Speaking to parish priests in the Vatican Feb. 25, 2017, Pope Francis commented, “In most cases, you are the first people to be approached by young people desiring to form a new family and marry in the sacrament of matrimony. And it is again you to

August 5, 2018 page five

Priests and Marriage Preparation (continued)whom married couples turn in crisis as a result of serious relationship problems, with a need to rekindle their faith and rediscover the grace of the sacrament. … No one better than you knows and is in touch with the reality of the social fabric of the territory and experiences the various complexities: unions celebrated in Christ, de facto unions, civil unions, failed unions, happy and unhappy families and young people.”

“With each person and in each situation,” the Pope continued, “you are called to be traveling companions who can offer witness and support. May your primary concern be to bear witness to the grace of the sacrament of matrimony and the primordial good of the family, vital cell of the Church and of society, by announcing that marriage between a man and a woman is a symbol of the spousal union between Christ and the Church. Such witness is put into practice concretely when you prepare engaged couples for marriage, making them aware of the profound meaning of the step which they are about to take, and when you journey with young couples with attentiveness, helping them experience the divine strength and the beauty of their marriage through light and shadow, through joyful and difficult times.”

He went on to say that he wanted marriage preparation to be a “true catechumenate” that could accompany engaged couples similar to the way the Church for months accompanies adults preparing for the sacrament of baptism. “This catechumenate,” he said, “is principally entrusted to you, parish priests. … I encourage you to implement it despite any difficulties you may encounter.”

Those are not the words of someone with a low estimation of the credibility, competence and commitment of priests with regard to the sacrament of matrimony.

I have had the joy to do clergy workshops on marriage preparation in various dioceses in the U.S. and Canada and to speak throughout the U.S. and beyond on John Paul II’s theology of the body. I have also had the chance to prepare several hundred couples for marriage. I normally meet with couples cumulatively for about 10 hours because I’m convinced that in a culture that doesn’t support marriage as the lifelong, faithful and fruitful union of one man and one woman, this time is indispensable to help them build their marriage on the rock of faith. In addition to Marriage Encounter or other pre-Cana programs I have them take, I give them 12 short essays to write, so that I can better meet them where they’re at and help bring them to where the Church hopes they’ll be on their wedding day. I give them videos to watch and websites to visit. I administer FOCCUS tests (a pre-marriage inventory) to them and review with them their responses.

Over the course of our conversations, we discuss their family backgrounds, how they met, how they determined the other was the “right one,” how the proposal happened, what marriage means, why Christian marriage is a sacrament, what role God plays in their relationship, what is distinctive about marital love, what they love about the other and how the other has shown love to them, what their desires are for children, how to grow in prayer and faith as a couple, how to forgive, and what marriage experts say are best practices on communication, finances and relations with in-laws.

We go over in depth the necessary intentions for a valid marriage. We cover the what and whyof the Church’s teachings about natural family planning, adoption, infertility, cohabitation, contraception, in vitro fertilization and pornography. We even tackle what to do if they happen to fall in love with someone else.

In all of this, rather than being an insurmountable handicap, my priesthood is actually an asset. My chaste celibacy allows me to be more objective in talking about human sexuality in God’s plan than someone whose experiences are marked too much by personal experience.

My seminary training is likewise a plus. So many generous Catholic couples who volunteer to lead marriage-preparation courses, like my parents, certainly can talk effectively and eloquently about various practical realities of living a Catholic marriage, but, in general, they cannot speak to the theology and sacramentality of marriage the way priests can and couples deserve. Not even most permanent deacons can address the “tough issues” with regard to the Church’s moral teaching with the same clarity and confidence as priests. These priestly contributions are an indispensable service to couples, who are often beguiled by our secular age to look at marriage in a desacralized way.

Most helpful of all, however, I think, is simply a priest’s presence and prioritized concern for the couple. Many young people, including Catholics, don’t know priests personally, because they see them only in chasubles. Many come to marriage preparation not practicing the faith, in one way or many, and have lots of unanswered questions and misconceptions that will impact their marriage and spiritual life overall if left unaddressed.

Over the course of the hours we have together, those questions can come up. Trust can build. The practice of the faith can return. Doubts about “credibility” can be overcome. Real evangelization or re-evangelization can take place. When a priest shows how much he cares in making the time to get to know and form them, and then brings the fruit of that burgeoning friendship to their rehearsal, wedding homily, reception, future baptisms and more, it can have a favorable long-term influence on their relationship with all priests and with the Church.

I hope that the intense reaction that Cardinal Farrell’s unintentionally offensive remarks have provoked among priests and the faithful might lead him to reassess his conclusions. I also hope that it will help him, and the dicastery he directs, to better support priests in the trenches in their important labor — together with married laypeople — in preparing couples not just for marriage, but for the sacrament of matrimony in its fullness.

The future of the Church depends on that crucial and ongoing work. Father Roger Landry is a priest of the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts
