SACRAMENT of BAPTISM: ADULT BAPTISM: Adults who are preparing to become Catholic, will participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation at Easter. INFANT BAPTISM (under the age of 7 years old): We celebrate Infant Baptism on the 2nd Saturday of each month, except during Lent. Parents and Godparents of infants to be baptized should attend Baptismal classes, preferably before the child is born.

SACRAMENT of CONFIRMATION: Adults and older youth who have not been Confirmed should contact the parish office. SACRAMENT of MARRIAGE:

Couples who are considering marriage should contact the parish office, at least six (6) months or more before the couple's projected wedding date. SACRAMENT of ANOINTING of the SICK: Any Catholic who is to have surgery due to a serious illness OR whose health is seriously impaired due to a serious illness or old age should be anointed ASAP, preferably before going to the hospital. Contact ASAP a priest to schedule an anointing.

The 2020 – 2021 Faith Formation Calendar is now available on the St. Maximilian website. All classes will be Virtual. Parent meetings are set and will be held in September. Please check at www.stmaximilian.org for more information. Registration deadline has past—please contact the parish office.

Are you interested in joining the Catholic Church or know someone who is? Or were you baptized Catholic but never completed your Sacraments of Initiation (Confirmation & Eucharist)? If your answer is “yes” to any of these, then RCIA is for you! Our sessions are scheduled to begin TODAY—September 20th at 11:30 am. We would normally meet in person but due to current COVID-19

restrictions, we will begin our program with virtual meetings. Contact Deacon Matt Rust at matt.rust@stmaximilian.org or 281-300-9923 for more information or should you have any questions.

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!

Fr. Lawrence W. Jozwiak Pastor

September 20, 2020

Dear Friends in Christ:

We believe in the 7 Sacraments of the Church that were instituted by Christ. They include the 3 Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist), the 2 Sacraments of Healing (Penance & Anointing of the Sick) and the 2 Sacraments at the Service of Communion [Holy Orders (Bishops, Priests & Deacons) & Matrimony].

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (#1210) states: “The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.”

As with all realities in life, there has been an evolution of each sacrament in how they are celebrated and even titles. Yet the basic truth of each sacrament has always remained. For example, the Catechism has a section on the Eucharist entitled “What is this Sacrament Called?” (#1328-1332). It lists the names: Eucharist, the Lord’s Supper, the Breaking of Bread, the Memorial of the Lord’s Passion & Resurrection, the Holy Sacrifice, the Holy & Divine Liturgy, Holy Communion & Holy Mass. Yet throughout history & its titles, we have believed that Jesus becomes truly present through the transformation of the bread & wine into His body & blood, soul & divinity. (#1374-1375).

When it comes to the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, throughout history because it was administered more exclusively for those at the point of death, it became known as “Extreme Unction” or “Last Rites.” “Not withstanding this evolution the liturgy has never failed to beg the Lord that the sick person may recover his health if it would be conducive to his salvation. (#1512)” The ritual book for the Anointing of the Sick states from Vatican Council II: “‘Extreme Unction,’ which may also and more properly be called ‘anointing of the sick,’ is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as any one of the (Catholic) faithful begins

Pastor’s Message p. 3

to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for that person to receive this sacrament has certainly arrived.”

I bring this to your attention since people unfortunately wait until the last moment to contact us priests to administer the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. The Church states that one should be anointed at the beginning of the illness, not necessarily at the end of the serious illness. Catholics may be anointed prior to a surgery “whenever a serious illness is the reason for the surgery. #9). So if a person is scheduled for a serious surgery for X number of weeks away, one should be anointed ASAP upon the news of the surgery versus waiting until one enters the hospital. Why? For the healing prayers and graces to be offered ASAP. But there is a practical reason. If one waits until one enters the hospital, can a priest arrive in time prior to the surgery? (Only a priest can administer this Sacrament.) And Covid makes it even more difficult, and at times impossible, for a priest to enter the hospital. Ideally, the anointing should occur in church when possible. Prior to the reception of the Anointing, one should receive the Sacrament of Penance (Confession). “Elderly people may be anointed if they have become notably weakened even though no serious illness is present. #11) Again, I ask that you do not wait until the “last moment” for an elderly person to be anointed. What if a priest is not available and / or cannot arrive prior to that person’s passing? With a shortage of priests, it is even more imperative to call the priest at the beginning of the illness or decline preceding a passing. When a person is placed on hospice care, then an anointing should occur ASAP.

The Sacrament of the Anointing can be repeated “if the sick person recovers after being anointed and then again falls ill or if during the same illness the person’s condition becomes more serious. #9). For the person who has been anointed already (including more than once) and is definitely in one’s last stages of life on earth, the true “Last Sacrament” is Viaticum, Holy Eucharist with certain prayers for the dying #1524-1525). So contact us ASAP for the Sacrament of the Anointing.

“The Cross is the school of love.”

“The most deadly poison of our time is indifference.”

—St. Maximilian Kolbe

“There is no greater love, than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” John 15: 13

SIGNIFICANCE of BOWING

A bow signifies reverence & honor shown to the names or event being mentioned. We are to do the following: 1) A bow of the head is made when the three Divine Persons (the Trinity) are named together and at the names of Jesus, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of the Saint in whose honor Mass is being celebrated. 2) A bow of the body (a profound bow) is made during the Creed with the words “and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” —General Instruction to the Roman Missal, #275

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually

into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Almighty God, Whose Great Power & Eter-nal Wisdom Embraces the Universe, Watch Over All Police Officers & Law En-forcement Officers. Protect Them from Harm in the Performance of Their Duty to Stop Crime, Robberies, Riots & Violence. Amen.

DIRECTION Isaiah tells us something that we already know, and yet seem to forget every now and then. He tells us, essentially, that God is God and we are not. When we are confused and troubled and cannot figure everything out, it might be wise to recall Isaiah speaking on the Lord’s behalf and explaining that God—who is on a much more, well, Godly wavelength than we are—moves in ways we cannot even imagine. Saint Paul, by comparison, has everything figured out. Kind of. At least he understands his calling in life—to magnify Christ in everything he does. That should give all of us the direction we need. Jesus gives us direction, too, explaining to us once again in the parable of the workers in the vineyard that the last will be first, and the first, last. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

p. 5

“Catholic teaching challenges voters and candidates, citizens and elected officials, to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of public policy issues. In light of ethical principles, we bishops offer the following 10 policy goals (#5-#7 listed below of 10, #1-#4 were listed last week. #8-10 will be listed next week.) that we hope will guide Catholics as they form their consciences and reflect on the moral dimensions of their public choices. Not all issues are equal; these ten goals address matters of different moral weight and urgency. Some involve intrinsically evil acts, which can never be approved. Others involve affirmative obligations to seek the common good.”—#92 from Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship • Help families and children overcome poverty: ensuring access to and choice in education, as well as

decent work at fair, living wages and adequate assistance for the vulnerable in our nation, while also helping to overcome widespread hunger and poverty around the world, especially in the areas of development assistance, debt relief, and international trade.

• Provide health care while respecting human life, human dignity, and religious freedom in our health care system.

• Continue to oppose policies that reflect prejudice, hostility toward immigrants, religious bigotry, and other forms of unjust discrimination.

“Let us not see each other in the divisive light of Democrat or Republican or any other political party, but rather, let us see the face of Christ in our

neighbors, especially the suffering or those with whom we may disagree.” – Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, “Coming Together as Faithful Citizens for the Common Good”

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (November 9, 2016)

A Catechist’s Prayer

Loving Father, pour forth your Holy Spirit upon me that I may be a good catechist of your Word, your Son, Jesus Christ. Render my mind and heart so open, receptive and responsive to your Holy Spirit that, like Mary, I might become a living instrument of your Word to others. Help me to be a faithful witness to Gospel life so that your Church may become ever more alive. Let the fire of your love so enkindle my heart that I may be an instrument of drawing others to love of you in the Church of your Son. I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer for Catechists Loving Father, we pray today for our catechists. We thank you for their gift of ministry in your Church. Grant them your wisdom that they may grow in the understanding and teaching of your Word. Grant them also your love that they may be fruitful heralds of your Word and lead others to love you. Pour forth your Holy Spirit upon them to grant them wisdom about what is important; knowledge of the truths of faith; understanding of their meaning; right judgement about how to apply them in life; courage to persevere even in the face of adversity; reverence before all that is sacred and holy; and that loving zeal which leads others to a transforming encounter with your Son. We pray this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

That we realize we are not only responsible for our lives, but for the lives of others. “So the last will be first and the first last.” Mat-thew 20:16 You have heard the saying “it’s not where you start, but how you finish.” This certainly applies to this Bible passage. We have a responsibility not only for our own lives, but for the lives of oth-ers as well. We are called to generously share our gifts with others, not hoard them for our own use. Our sincere gratitude and cheerful gener-osity will help us live “God-centered” lives and not “self-centered” lives.

Catholic Bishops’ Pro-Life Chairman Applauds Trump Administration for Ethical Scrutiny of Fetal Tissue Research

AUGUST 20, 2020 BY USCCB PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE

WASHINGTON - Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas, chairman of the U.S. Confer-ence of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, applauded the Trump Administration following the release of the National Institutes of Health Human Fetal Tissue Research Ethics Advisory Board report in which the Board recommended withholding federal funding from 13 out of 14 research proposals involv-ing the use of fetal tissue.

“We applaud the Administration for moving NIH in a direction that shows greater consideration for medical ethics in research, and greater respect for innocent human life. It is neither ethical nor necessary to further violate the bodies of aborted babies by commodifying them for use in medical research. The victims of abortion deserve the same respect as every other human person. We are grateful that the Administration is following through on its commitment to end federal funding of research using aborted fetal tissue.”

NEW! Messages of Hope: During these difficult and trying times, priests of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston will be offering spiritual re-

flection videos on Scriptures of the day to help us stand firm in faith and hope. New videos in English and Span-ish will be posted on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Find the video reflections online at www.archgh.org/messagesofhope, as well as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Audio of the reflections are also available on our podcast channel via your favorite pod-cast app.
