FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
The feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross celebrates two historical events: the discovery of the
True Cross by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, in 320AD under the temple of Venus in
Jerusalem and, the dedication in 335AD of the basilica and shrine built on Calvary by Constantine,
which marks the site of the Crucifixion. But most importantly, this feast reminds us as Pope Francis
stated “the story of man and the story of God are interwoven on the Cross and essentially weave a
love story”.
I’d like to share with you an excerpt from Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s book, “You”, which speaks very
powerfully of the mystery of the Cross in our lives. He writes: “Everyone in the world has a cross, but
the cross is not the same for any two of us. The cross of the thief was not the cross of Mary. The
difference was due to God’s will towards each of them. The thief was to give his life; Mary to accept
life. The thief was to hang on his cross; Mary to remain behind. The thief received a dismissal; Mary
received a mission. The thief was to be received into Paradise; but Paradise was to be received into
Mary.
Each of us, too, has a cross. Our Lord said: If anyone would like be my disciple, he must deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me (Mk 8:34). He did not say: “Take up My Cross.” His
cross is not the same as yours, and yours is not the same as mine. Every cross in the world is tailor
made, custom built, patterned to fit its bearer and no one else.
That is why we say: “My cross is heavy.” We assume that other people’s crosses are lighter, forgetful
that the only reason our cross is heavy is simply because it is our own. Our Lord did not make His
cross; it was made for Him. So yours is made by the circumstances of your life, and by your routine
duties. That is why it fits so tight.
Our Lord deals separately with each of our souls. The crown of gold you want may have underneath
it the crown of thorns, but the heroes who choose the crown of thorns, often find that underneath it is
the crown of gold. Even those that seem to be without a cross actually have one. No one would have
suspected that when Mary resigned herself to God’s will by accepting the honor of becoming the
Mother of God she would ever have to bear a cross. It would seem, too, that one who was preserved
free from original sin should be dispensed from the penalties of that sin, such as pain. And yet this
honor brought to her seven crosses and ended by making her the Queen of Martyrs.
There are, therefore, as many kinds of crosses as there are persons: crosses of grief and sorrow,
crosses of want, crosses of abuse, crosses of wounded love and crosses of defeat!
It is only when a log is thrown into the fire that it begins to sing. It was only when the thief was thrown
into the fire of a cross that he found God. It is only in pain that some discover Love.
Because our crosses differ, soul will differ from soul in glory… God will take into account our
crosses. He seemed to suggest that in the parable of Dives and Lazarus: My child, remember that
you received what was good in your lifetime, while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now
he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented (Lk 16:25). There will be a bright jewel of merit for
those who suffer in this world. Because we live in a world where position is determined economically,
we forget that in God’s world the royalty are those who do His will.”
On this occasion, we pray especially for our Sisters whose feast we celebrate today and particularly
for those who make their perpetual vows. We make our own the petition of Fr. Buela, IVE, Founder:
that they “imitate their Spouse in everything in order to configure themselves to Him, just as a wife
should configure herself to her husband; but with even greater reason, for He is Jesus
Christ.” (Servidoras I, II Ed., 193)
God bless you all!
Fr. Gustavo Nieto, IVE

Homily
The Order of the Mass is the fundamental and primary song of the liturgy. It forms the part of the Mass that is of the greatest
importance, and therefore it should be sung ideally before any of the other parts of the Mass are sung.
The Ordinary of the Mass, comprising the chants of the second degree, is also of its nature meant to be sung. The Ordinary of the
Mass… are fixed within the Order of the Mass and, depending on the demands of the liturgy or season, form a part of the unchanging
structure of the Mass.
While the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei may be sung to a variety of musical settings, the Church’s great sacred music
tradition has handed down to us an inestimable treasure of chants for the Mass Ordinary.
