My dear Parishioners,

The Feast Day of our Patron, St. Paul of the Cross, occurred

this past Friday but we are celebrating it as a parish this

Sunday which happens to be World Mission Sunday. What

a blessed coincidence! The very word “Mission” should

remind us Catholics that, through our baptism, we became

missionaries— called by Jesus Christ to share intimately in

his life and sent forth by him to announce to our world the

love that God has for every person.

Though he never left Italy, Paul of the Cross was an unbe-

lievable missionary. He didn’t simply preach the love of

God as it was manifested in Christ Crucified, he lived it.

That is why he was so effective in converting and drawing

others back to the faith. He learned how to pray and spent

hours in deep contemplation of the sufferings of Christ. His

ardor drove him to gather others into a group that would be

known as the “Passionists” to share in his life and mission.

And while he dreamed to going to other lands, particularly

England, he remained steadfast in his preaching to the peo-

ple of his own area, especially the forgotten poor. Succeed-

ing generations of Passionists would move out across the

world to Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and

Africa. Blessed Dominic Barberi with several others would

go first to Belgium and then to England, fulfilling Paul’s

dream, and in 1845 he would received John Henry (later,

Cardinal) Newman into the Catholic Church.

Today, we are still a missionary Church. Here in Atlanta,

St. Paul of the Cross Parish is a missionary community.

Inspired by our holy Patron and guided by the same Spirit

who energized him, may we bring the message of the Cross

to our friends, our neighborhoods, our schools and our

workplaces. —Fr. Jerome, C.P.

Hoy celebramos San Pablo de la Cruz, cuya fiesta fue el viernes. Fue un gran Predicador y Director espiritual. Para san Pablo, la Pasión de Jesús no fue solo un evento pasado, sino una realidad viva presente. Habló a menudo de caminar con el crucificado de hoy. Estos son algunos de los temas de su fe y espiritualidad. 1. Dios es todopoderoso, sin embargo, el poder de Dios siempre está dirigido por su amor. Todas las cosas que suceden provienen de la mano amorosa de Dios. San Pablo ve todos los eventos de la vida como procedentes de las manos de un Padre amoroso. Jesús es el mode-lo para rendirse a la voluntad del Padre en su sufrimiento y muerte. Vivir por fe significa entregar nuestras vidas a un Dios amoroso, permi-tiendo que Dios dirija nuestras vidas. San Pablo de la Cruz vivió la noche oscura desprovista de consuelo durante cuarenta años, pero era un hombre alegre. "Cuando te despojan de todo, siente suavemente la Cruz, despierta tu fe en la presencia de Dios y entrégate en el inmenso mar de su amor". 2. Dios está haciendo algo en nuestros corazones en todo momento y se está comunicando con nosotros en todo momento, aunque no siempre en el nivel consciente. "Permanezca en la Presencia Divina en todo lo que hace. Si estás ocupado trabajando con tus manos, deja que tu mente y tu corazón estén internamente en Dios. Un verdadero siervo de Dios ora siempre. No me refiero a arrodillarse, sino con atención amorosa a la presencia divina. La oración debe ser continua, cuando despertamos y al dormir, al caminar y estar de pie, al trabajar y cuando descansamos. Esta oración se realiza en la parte más profunda del desierto interior sagrado, en la más profunda soledad, en un interior amoroso que descansa en Dios, totalmente absorta y perdida en el mar del amor infinito”. Y el viejo dicho de los Maestros Espiritua-les dice: ‘Si tú eres conscientes de que están orando, no estas orando muy profundamente ‘. 3. La Pasión de Jesús es la obra más grande y el signo del amor de Dios. Pablo vio el amor por Jesús en su pasión y muerte como la gracia central de la vocación pasionista. Su carisma es inseparable de la Pasión de Jesús. La Pasión no es solo un evento pasado, sino un signo presente que debemos contemplar y permitir penetrar en nuestros corazones. Él no mira a la Pasión de manera negativa, mirando solo el dolor, las lágrimas, la sangre y la suciedad, pero Pablo miró dentro de las heridas de Jesús para ver el amor bajo las heridas. "La sabiduría viene de las heridas de Cristo" Para Pablo, el seguir a Cristo significaba imitar las actitudes amorosas del corazón de Jesús, lo cual el vio en la Pasión; las virtudes y los valo-res de Jesús: La humildad, el coraje, la paciencia, la confianza, la compasión por los demás, la obediencia al Padre y muchas otras virtudes. Él dijo: "El mundo vive descuidado de los sufrimientos de Jesús, que son el milagro de los milagros del amor de Dios. Debemos despertar al mundo de su letargo. Su Espíritu Santo nos enseñará cómo”. Y también," Dios puede obrar en nosotros solamente cuando pasemos por la puerta que es Jesucristo y su más sagrada Pasión, que es la obra más grande y maravillosa de su amor”. Regla sagrada: Es cierto que el recuerdo de la Santísima Pasión de Jesucristo con la imitación de sus Sagradas Virtudes nunca debe dejarse de lado, incluso durante el recogimiento más profundo y el regalo más elevado de la oración. Este recuerdo es la puerta que conduce a la unión íntima con Dios. (Regla pasionista original). - Padre Patricio, C.P.
