FROM THE DESK OF FR. BONA: (1) Welcome to everyone who is here with us at the Shrine of St. Elizabeth of Hungary for our 11:30AM Mass (Sunday). I hope you are also able to stay with us after the Mass for our FALL FESTIVAL AND INTERNATIONAL DANCE RECITAL (see below for more details).
(2) I will be away for a few days. Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference, through the office of the Hungarian Pastoral Service Abroad, is organizing a meeting of Hungarian communities abroad in Budapest. We will not have some daily masses and on 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 I will finish the section of the saints before consecration. Cornelius: A martyr-pope (died 253) who is commemorated in a Memorial on Sept. 16. An ardent defender not only of The Faith in general, but his own papal authority in particular. Always celebrated with Cyprian: Bishop of Carthage and martyr (died 258). Some of his letters and Acta are extant and used in the Divine Office and make for edifying reading. Born a pagan but converted to Christianity, laid the foundations in Carthage for the great Bishop of Hippo, St. Augustine. The first saint in the canon who is not an Apostle or Pope or, naturally, part of Jesus’ nuclear family.
Lawrence: After Sts. Peter and Paul, the patron saint of early Rome and one of the most famous saints of all time. Roasted to death on a gridiron, he’s the first deacon mentioned in the Canon.
Chrysogonus: A very early martyr who appears to have been a layman and a catechist. Like Lawrence, hugely important to the nascent Church in Rome and a martyr, having been thrown into the sea after decapitation.
John and Paul: Not a repetition of the Apostles, St. John the “Beloved Disciple” and “The Apostle to the Gentiles,” but brothers in the service of the Roman Empire as officers. They were martyred during the reign of Julian the Apostate in 362.
Cosmas and Damian: Another pair of brothers and martyrs, and known as “the moneyless ones” for their refusal to take a fee for their medical practices. (They are the patrons of doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists, and, inexplicably, confectioners). Their date of martyrdom is circa 287 (source: National Catholic Register).
TODAY (SUNDAY): MASS AT THE SHRINE OF ST. ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY at 11:30AM. NO 11AM Mass at St. Emeric.
