FROM THE DESK OF FR. BONA: (1) Last Sunday we had a FALL FESTIVAL AND INTERNATIONAL DANCE RECITAL at the Shrine of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Overall the event was a success and we had around 500 attendees. I would like to thank everyone who helped out last Sunday with the preparation and the running of it. There was a lot of work required and I am grateful to all the volunteers who stepped up and lent their helping hand.
(2) This week, because, I am still away, we will not have weekday Masses. Just a reminder: this Sunday, September 22, we will not have 9AM English Mass.
(3) A couple of weeks ago I have begun a series of introducing the saints from the Roman Canon. Today we will begin the review of the saints from the section after the consecration. The second grouping starts off with “the last of the Prophets,” St. John the Baptist, and continues with:
Stephen: The protomartyr and first of “The Seven Deacons” in the Acts of the Apostle whose death closely parallels that of Our Lord.
Matthias: The man chosen to replace Judas Iscariot (also from Acts).
Barnabas: Always considered and celebrated as an Apostle (though not as “one of the Twelve”) and the last name mentioned in Holy Scripture to appear in the Canon.
Ignatius [of Antioch]: With this great saint, we enter into the post-apostolic age and into the patristic one. Said to have been a disciple of St. John the Apostle, he is the bridge between the last of the Apostles and the greater emergence of the Church Suffering—in this case under the Emperor Trajan. A friend and mentor to St. Polycarp, many of his writings, mainly letters to the Churches, have survived. Martyred in Rome by lions. Prestige point: said by some to have been the “child Jesus placed in their midst” (Matthew 18:2)
Alexander: Like Ignatius, an early Eastern Bishop, in this case of Alexandria. (He was the immediate predecessor of St. Athanasius). He brought the Arian heresy—and Arius himself—to heel. The first non-martyr to appear in the Canon (acknowledging though St. Joseph and Mary, who as we learn from St. Bernard, was nevertheless a “Martyr in spirit”).
Marcellinus: Like John and Paul, and Cosmas and Damian, Marcellinus was part of a pair of early Church martyr-saints. Marcellinus was a priest and was beheaded in 302 with…
Peter: An exorcist and friend and confidant of St. Marcellinus. This Saint Peter is apparently the first and only saint in the Canon who was only in “minor orders.” (source: National Catholic Register).
