committed, and praise for the awesomeness of His creativity and

love. 3) Prayer allows us to fulfill our highest calling which is to

know and love God. 4) Prayer allows us to bond with others at

the most profound level of human experience.

We are most at home with ourselves when we commune with

God in prayer. As the scriptures say: “He made us and we

belong to Him.” All people are created with the capacity and

need for prayer. Our prayers reach out to God and to one

another. Prayer is not constrained by time. We can pray for the

dead and ask those who have gone before us to pray for us in the

present.

May this season of Lent inspire you to more fully live this gift

that God has given you.

Queridos Feligreses,

En su libro " Prayer Primer: Igniting a Fire Within” (Encender

un Fuego Interior), Padre Thomas Dubay da cuatro razones por

la actividad de oración. 1) La oración es un privilegio que Dios

nos ha dado. 2) La oración nos permite vivir con virtud y nos

permita expresar a Dios la gratitud por los varios dones

recibidos, el dolor por los pecados cometidos, y la alabanza por

la grandiosidad de su amor. 3) La oración nos permite cumplir

nuestro llamado más elevado que es conocer y amar a Dios. 4)

La oración nos permite unirnos con los demás en el nivel más

profundo de la experiencia humana.

Somos más nosotros mismos cuando nos comunicamos con Dios en la oración. Como dicen las Escrituras: "Él nos hizo a nosotros

y somos suyos." Esto supone la inclusión de otros, porque todas

las personas son creadas con la capacidad y la necesidad de la

oración. Nuestras oraciones llegan a Dios y a los demás.

Además, nuestra oración no está limitada por el tiempo.

Podemos orar por los muertos y pedir por los que nos han

precedido. Creemos que la Comunión de los Santos oren por

nosotros en el presente.

Que esta Cuaresma inspire a todos vivir más plenamente este

don que Dios nos ha dado.

En Cristo, Fr. Steve

Letter from the Pastor / Carta del Parroco

Dear Parishioners,

In his book “Prayer Primer: Igniting a Fire

Within”, Fr. Thomas Dubay gives four reasons

why we should pray. 1) Prayer is a privilege

given to us by God 2) Prayer enables us to live

virtuously by allowing us to express to God

gratitude for gifts received, sorrow for sins

In Christ,

Goodness which alone will satisfy our desire, and which

we will finally see face to face in Heaven. Then, there will no longer be anything to choose except God—not because

he forces us to, but because we have no reason not to. This

liberty” (Libertas, Pope Leo

XIII). Human liberty is a result

of our natural desire for truth

and goodness and because of

this, freedom is deeply

purposeful. We only have

choices because in this life we

are not yet presented with that

First Truth and Sovereign

written by younger contemporaries and historians. He

was well educated in classical Greek literature, the

writings of the Church Fathers and the writings of

pagan philosophers.

Cyril was ordained to the priesthood in 345 by Saint

Maximus, Patriarch of Jerusalem. Maximus gave him

the assignment of preparing candidates for baptism,

which he did for several years. One series of 23

catechetical lectures from around the year 347 are still

in existence and remain the earliest record of the

Church’s systematic teaching on the Creed and the

Sacraments.

Upon the death of Saint Maximus, Cyril was chosen to

succeed him. Three years after he became the Bishop of

Jerusalem, a large cross-shaped light appeared for

several hours in the sky over the city – an event that

many interpreted as a sign of the Church’s triumph over

heresy. It could also be understood as a sign of the

suffering this bishop would undergo in leading his

flock. During the next 20 years through disputes,

misunderstandings and political opposition, Cyril was

exiled three times from Jerusalem by heretical synods,

the Arian Metropolitan, Acacius of Caesarea, and

various emperors who adhered to the Arian heresy.

Cyril participated in the First Council of Constantinople

in 381 (the second ecumenical council), which was

called to resolve several theological disputes. The

Council condemned two different forms of Arianism

and added clarification statements about the Holy Spirit

to the Nicene Creed.

Cyril died of natural causes in 386. He was canonized

pre-congregation (prior to the formation of the

Congregation for the Causes of Saints). In 1883, Pope

Leo XIII declared Cyril a Doctor of the Church.

“And thus also it was that the knot of Eve's

disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary.

For what the virgin Eve had bound fast through

unbelief, this did the virgin Mary set free through

faith” (Against Heresies, St. Irenaeus of Lyons).

Many of the Early Church Fathers based their thoughts on

the Blessed Virgin Mary on her role as the “New Eve,” the

virgin whose obedience reverses the disobedience of Eve

who brought the wound upon human nature that we call

original sin. In this, she participates in the redeeming work of

Christ, the New Adam. They each make a perfect act of

obedience in their own fiat: Fiat mihi secundum verbum

tuum. Fiat voluntas tua. (Lk 1:38, Mt 26:42)

Yet the notion of obedience is not a welcome virtue in most

people’s minds. We often implicitly oppose it to the good of

freedom and, in this perspective, obedience can only be an

effect of either weakness or oppression. This dichotomy

seems to stem from a form of philosophical liberalism that

idolizes human freedom and quickly reduces to the absurdity

of existential nihilism: “For I declare that freedom… can

have no other end and aim but itself... We will freedom for

freedom’s sake” (Jean-Paul Sartre). Freedom for freedom’s

sake sees man as self-creating, defining his own values,

limited by nothing but as a consequence, destined for

nothing. It rejects a freedom for to preserve a freedom from-

—from authority, from the natural law, from other people,

from meaning.

The Church has taught strongly against this false

understanding of freedom: “The pursuit of what has a false

appearance of good, though a proof of our freedom, just as a

disease is a proof of our vitality, implies defect in human

“Human liberty is a result of our natural

desire for truth and

goodness and because of this,

freedom is deeply

purposeful.”

A SACRIFICE OF LOVE: EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Katie Reed

5

If you are yearning to be close to Jesus, or

maybe just a bit curious about what those people do in

Eucharistic Adoration, please read on.

“Jesus Christ is really present as Man and as God in

the Holy Eucharist, consecrated during every Mass

and reserved in the tabernacles of Catholic Churches.

His Body is there, his Blood is there, his Soul is there,

his Godhead is there-the God who lived in endless ages

alone before any creature was made, the God who

created the angels, men, and all the material

universe…He, that same God, is present with his human

nature, really, truly and substantially under the

appearances of bread and wine.” [Canon Francis J.

Ripley, Magnificat, Vol. 21, No.. 11, 104]

The Eucharist is the proof of the love of Jesus Christ.

After this, there is nothing more but Heaven itself.

Making a visit to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the

closest thing to Heaven here on earth. “How kind is our Sacramental Jesus! He welcomes you at any hour of the

day or night. His love never knows rest. He is always

most gentle towards you. When you visit Him, He

forgets your sins and speaks only of the joy, His

tenderness, and His Love. By the reception He gives to

you, one would think He has need of you to make Him

happy.” [Saint Peter Julian Eymard,

httpl://azquotes.com, November 27, 2019]

May the Heart of Jesus in the Most

Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored and

loved with grateful affection, at every

moment, in all the Tabernacles of the

world, even to the end of time! Amen.

How do we spend our time in Eucharistic Adoration?

• Spend time gazing at the Divine Master; look upon his

most Sacred Heart

• Pour out your heart to Jesus; Adore, Thank, Petition, Intercede

• Spend quiet time listening to the Divine Master

• Focus on God and Divine Truth

• Read Scripture/Spiritual literature

• Pray devotional prayers

• The Rosary

• Stations of the Cross

• To the Sacred Heart, the Precious Blood, the

Holy Name of God

• Rest in peace with Jesus

• Sing songs in your heart

• Speak to Jesus about your day, struggles, work,

decisions

• Pray for peace

• Pray for family

• Give Jesus your sins, addictions, compulsions,

temptations, anger

• Ask Jesus for the grace to grow

• Pray for your enemies

• Ask Jesus to show you your sins

• Be patient

The list goes on as Jesus leads you in your conversations

with Him.

THE NEW EVE VS. LIBERALISM

Continued from page 3

LENTEN OBSERVANCES

PRESCRIBED BY

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

From this, we can see that

the virtue of obedience is

not primarily about a

restriction of freedom, but

a movement of love

between two wills. When

we love God, we love the

will of God, and when we

love God’s will, we try to

unite our own will to His.

And this is the perfect and

loving obedience that the

New Eve had when she

consented to place the fruit

of her womb upon the

cross, which was

transformed from an

instrument of death to the tree of life. The obedience

of Mary and Jesus broke

our chains to sin and won

for us the freedom of the

children of God.

Fasting and abstinence on Ash Wednesday (already

past) and Good Friday

Abstinence every Friday in Lent

Fasting, ages 18 – 59, means we can have only one full,

meatless meal. Some food can be taken at the other

regular meal times if necessary, but combined they

should be less than a full meal. Liquids are allowed at

any time, but no solid food should be consumed

between meals.

Abstinence, ages 14 and up, is from meat.

Abstinence at usccb.org/prayer-and-worship

Since July 1st the Dominican Friars have been committed to helping the

Archdiocese of Anchorage and the Diocese of Fairbanks serve the Catholics of

Alaska. In the past 8 months, we have provided Sunday Masses for 19 different

parishes 52 times. This does not include multiple Masses at the same parish on a

particular Sunday. We have ranged as far south as Kodiak, north as Kotzebue,

east as Valdez, and west as Dutch Harbor. Our regular monthly commitments

are to Dutch Harbor, Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, Fairbanks and Glennallen. In

the upcoming months we will also be traveling to Barrow and Dillingham.

These missions reflect the reality of the decreasing number of priests in

Alaska. Last summer the Archdiocese of Anchorage and the Diocese of

Fairbanks each lost three priests. It is becoming increasingly difficult to

provide monthly coverage to the mission parishes and to find relief for the

diocesan priests so that they can take vacations and go on their required

canonical annual retreats.

Holy Family Cathedral is blessed to have four priests assigned here. As in

previous years, the parish is paying the salaries for three priests. The

Dominicans are working to fund this fourth position through the stipends

from these missions. We are happy to be meeting a great need of the Church

and to meet the faithful throughout the state. From the mountains to the sea,

from coast to coast, we are blessed to experience this great state and to

serve the Catholics who live here.
