Second Sunday in Lent
Dear Parishioners,
A Letter from the Pastor
I know that over the past three years at Saint Timothy I have joked about my grades being the
cause of my dismissal from Saint Charles Seminary when I was 21 years old. I can joke about it now, since
that moment in my life led me on a journey that I could have never planned. I also believe that because of
that turn of events in 1980, God opened my heart up to experiences that helped to mold me and change me.
I met many wonderful people along the way that have helped me to see the face of Christ again and again.
I can tell you however, that when it happened, and I was forced to deal with that reality and try to help my
parents to deal with it, it seemed like my world was ending and in many ways it was. I was dying to an old
reality and in need of seeking a new one.
I am certain that over the past few weeks with the news stories and the announcements of the removal
of 21 priests from active ministry indefinitely, most, if not all of us have felt as if our faith has been
assaulted, shaken or rocked in some ways, and it has been to be sure. Our trust in the institutional Church
has perhaps been brought into question and we are reminded once again that humans make up the
institution of the Church. Human beings will sin, let us down and make bad choices. Our reality might
need to be adjusted or we might need to seek out a new reality. The truth is my friends, that we can never
forget that God is still at the heart of our Church and that God is still in charge of our Church and God still
loves us all and wants us to be happy, faith-filled and content.
People will inevitably let us down. Because we are human and we sin, our sins seem to jump from the
pages of the newspapers and they seem to glow bright red. The one truth that will never change, the one
hope that we must cling to and always and have in our hearts, is that our God loves us and has managed to
steer the Church through some very rocky moments in history. I know for certain that God will not
abandon us now. The reality is that the abuse of any person is wrong. The abuse of some of the most
vulnerable among us, namely children is especially wrong and when perpetrated by people who are meant
to be trusted and counted on, it seems horribly wrong; and it is. I am sorry that all of us have to go through
this heart-wrenching moment again. I hope you will join me in praying always for anyone who is a victim
of abuse, for anyone who is accused of being an abuser and for those who are guilty of abuse, as they need
our prayers also. God and faith and hope will see us through!
Peace, Father Steve Leva

The Sacrament of Confession - Let’s put this behind us
Jesus does not insult us, or our intelligence, by pretending
that our sins do not exist. The Cross certainly reminds us of
their reality. In the Sacrament of Confession, we humbly
acknowledge the reality of our personal sins, not so that
they can be masked or ignored, but so that they may be
truly forgiven for what they are. Then, we can put them
behind us! You are invited to read Cardinal Rigali’s Pastoral Letter that can be found on the home page of the
Archdiocese - www.archphila.org.
