The French Revolution
is
hardly
a
“treasure” in our story,
yet in 1789 it began to
dismantle the way the
world was organized:
feudalism. The collapsed society had three
basic divisions: those who work, those who
fight, and those who pray. There wasn’t a great
deal of movement among the ranks, yet one
way to move out of the workers and the fighters
was in the direction of the folks who prayed.
These were the First Estate, the clergy.
One of the key persons in any manor or village was the priest. He could read, at least a bit,
and so was the source for pronouncements and
news from government and Church. He was assigned to celebrate the sacraments frequently
and in conformance with certain rules.
Seminaries did not exist before the Reformation. Astute Protestant reformers then forced
the Catholic world toward a more educated and
able clergy. Before that, young men apprenticed
with a priest to learn the essentials, and would
be presented to the bishop for ordination. Other priests emerged from the university system,
where students were required to be invested as
clerics. Still others were monks, ordained not so
much for ministry outside the monastic walls,
but to offer Mass only for the intentions of the
community’s benefactors.

MERCY
Among the attributes of God, although they
are all equal, mercy shines with even more brilliance than justice.
—Miguel de Cervantes
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of the people of Saint Patrick-Saint
Stanislaus Kostka Parish to be ambassadors for Christ.
All are welcome in our diverse and historic faith
community in the Strip District.
We strive to nurture and to grow in the
sacramental life and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
Everything we do is for the greater glory of God.

NOT “EITHER OR” but “BOTH” FREE MINISTRY TO TRAVELLING
In today’s gospel passage
CATHOLICS
(Luke, chapter 10, verses 38-42)
we hear the story of the two sisters Martha and
Mary - both very good friends of Jesus.
Jesus goes to visit them. We can imagine
this was a home where Jesus enjoyed visiting
and where, in probable good Jewish hospitality,
he may have often stayed.
Mary is deep in conversation with Jesus,
I’m sure enjoying that opportunity. Martha
(who apparently is cleaning and cooking, etc.),
gets a bit “perturbed” at her sister, and in no
uncertain terms, lets Jesus know.
In a way, neither sister is “right” or
“wrong”. Mary’s part in spending quality time
with Jesus is absolutely essential. But Martha’s
necessary activity also has a very complimentary aspect.
Both activity and prayer are necessary.
Quiet individual time with Jesus is essential for
the Christian. And the fulfillment of our duties
and responsibilities are also needed.
