Dear parishioners,

As I mentioned to you last week, I just came from the

World Youth Day in Panama. The bishops of Central

America had asked that World Youth Day be held in

this part of the world because many of the youngsters

here would never have the possibility of traveling to

other countries such as Europe and Brazil for World

Youth Day. It would be too difficult for them to raise

money for travel or acquire the necessary visas, and so

the Holy Father consented to hold World Youth Day

in Central America. Panama was chosen as the loca-

tion because it is perhaps the country in Central

America that is most suited, with its infrastructure and

security, to host a World Youth Day. It was being held

in January because Central America follows the aca-

demic year of South America and, in the Southern

Hemisphere, this is their time of summer vacation. Of

course, the timing made it difficult for Europeans and

North Americans to attend. This is the 10th World

Youth Day. Each has been a time of great blessings

and a wonderful opportunity for young people to un-

derstand the universality and catholicity of our

Church. Some studies have shown that, in the United

States, over one-third of our seminarians have at-

tended a World Youth Day. This just shows the im-

pact that this experience has on young people.

The theme for this World Youth Day was “Be It Done

To Me According To Thy Word.”, so the music, lit-

urgy, celebrations and logo was prominently Marian,

that is, it was centered on the Virgin Mary’s response

to the archangel Gabriel. The presence of so many

thousands of young fervent pilgrims changed the at-

mosphere and energy of the whole country: their joy

was contagious to all people including no believers.

The media, that at the beginning was very critical of

this event, turned 180 degrees to cover all the events

with positive reviews. I myself came renewed from

this experience and the testimony of many young peo-

ple that were touched by the love of God and the mes-

sages of the Holy Father. There was a crowd of about

700,000 people for the final Mass with the Holy Fa-

ther. The music and the participation were, as always,

very moving. As we concluded, the Holy Father made

the announcement that the next World Youth Day will

be held in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2022. We plan to do

some fundraising to bring some of our youth to that

next World Youth Day. Have a blessed week.

Fr. David

Stewardship Bulletin Reflection: Feb. 10, 2019 The First Reading from Isaiah describes a vision of

the prophet in which angels surround the Lord. They

proclaim, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts! All

the earth is filled with his glory!” Our God invites us

to such deep intimacy and friendship with Him that

we sometimes can forget just how majestic and un-

speakably holy He truly is.

As we contemplate the holiness of God, we come to a

heightened awareness of what

a privilege it is that He has

chosen to include us in His

work of spreading the Gospel

to others through the grateful

sharing of the gifts He has

given us. We can make the

words of the prophet Isaiah

our own: “Then I heard the

voice of the Lord saying,

“Whom shall I send” Who will

go for us? Here I am, I said,

send me!”

In the Gospel we find Jesus preaching to a crowd

who is pressing in on Him to listen. In response, Jesus

uses very ordinary means so that the crowd can hear

Him. He simply gets into one of the nearby boats be-

longing to Simon so that His voice will better carry

over the water. He finishes speaking and then tells

Simon the fisherman to lower his nets for a catch.

Simon is skeptical about this instruction but obeys.

The result is a catch of fish beyond Simon’s wildest

imaginings. Overwhelmed, he fell at Jesus’ knees,

“for astonishment at the catch of fish they had made

seized him and all those with him.”

But just as Jesus reassured Simon, “Be not afraid,”

He reassures us, too. We need not fear a stewardship

way of life.
