Saint of the Day for 10/2/03

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bonjour Newman,

 

As I write the newsletter this week, I am being watched over by my guardian angel and you are too as you read this.  Yesterday was the day we celebrate this in the Feast of the Guardian Angels.  For more details, read the Saint of the Day section, but before that we have some events coming up that we want you to know about.

 

This coming week:

·         In honor of the first Friday of the month, Holy Rosary is having Eucharistic Adoration today, Friday October 2nd.  Mass will be at 12:15pm, followed by adoration, and it will all conclude with Benediction and a short prayer service at 7pm.  Stop by to spend time with the Blessed Sacrament.

·         It’s not to late to sign up for the Young Women’s Spirituality Day Retreat sponsored by Newman and UPCaM (United Protestant Campus Ministries). The retreat will be at the Manor House at Squire Valleevue Farm this Saturday, October 4th from 8:30am to 2:30pm.  Please contact Kirsten (kkolaja@dioceseofcleveland.org) if you are interested in attending.  There is no fee for attending.

·         This Sunday, October 5th, we will be praying a decade of the Rosary before Mass in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.  Meet in the chapel 15 minutes before Mass starts if you’d like to join us (that is, 5:45pm).

·         Also in honor of the Feast of Our Lady, Holy Rosary in Little Italy is having a Living Rosary this coming Tuesday, October 7th.  Eleven students from Newman will be leading a decade and you are invited to join us in prayer at 7pm in the church.  Refreshments will be served afterwards.

 

And this month:

·         Newman will be having a Movie Social Night on Friday, October 10th.  We will be watching “A Simple Miracle” so mark your calendars for an evening of fun and fellowship. 

·         The next meal for the poor at St. Coleman’s will be on October 11th.  Please e-mail Phil (ptk3@cwru.edu) for more information.

·         Taize prayer will be happening this month.  Taize prayer, consists of the repetition of simple Christian phrases through quiet chanting as well as a psalm, scripture readings, intercessions, silence, and candlelight.  More details are coming soon.  Contact Jenny (jle6@cwru.edu) for more information.

·         Women and men in their 20s and 30s are invited to attend this year’s Ohio Young Adult Conference on Saturday, October 18th at John Carroll University.  This all-day gathering of more than 400 young adults includes a keynote address by Jesse Manibusan and 15 workshop choices on topics important to young adults.  Check out http://www.ohioyoungadultministry.com for more details.

Patristic Quote of the Week

 

St. Cyril of Jerusalem: “Just as Christ, after His Baptism and the coming upon Him of the Holy Spirit, went forth and defeated the adversary, so also with you: after Holy Baptism and the Mystical Chrism, having put on the panoply of the Holy Spirit, you are to withstand the power of the adversary and defeat him, saying, “I am able to do all things in Christ, who strengthens me.” (Catechetical Lectures 21 (Mystagogic 4), 1) [A.D. 350]). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prayer Requests

 

Please pray for

·         Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, for God’s comfort and peace to be with him as he continues to persevere as the Vicar of Christ

·         Those entering monasteries, convents, and seminaries

·         All families, that God’s love may be realized through them

·         All students, especially those who are busy and feeling overwhelmed

·         Catholic ministries, that they may fruitfully spread the truth of the Gospel

·         For the challenges we encounter in our lives, that they would help us to always grow closer to the Lord as He helps us through them

·         And for peace in the world and in our own hearts.

Saint of the Day for 10/2/03

Feast of the Guardian Angels

Perhaps no aspect of Catholic piety is as comforting to parents as the belief that an angel protects their little ones from dangers real and imagined. Yet guardian angels are not just for children. Their role is to represent individuals before God, to watch over them always, to aid their prayer and to present their souls to God at death.

The concept of an angel assigned to guide and nurture each human being is a development of Catholic doctrine and piety based on Scripture but not directly drawn from it. Jesus' words in Matthew 18:10 best support the belief: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father."

Devotion to the angels began to develop with the birth of the monastic tradition. St. Benedict gave it impetus and Bernard of Clairvaux, the great 12th-century reformer, was such an eloquent spokesman for the guardian angels that angelic devotion assumed its current form in his day.

A feast in honor of the guardian angels was first observed in the 16th century. In 1615, Pope Paul V added it to the Roman calendar.

That’s all for this week.  Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
