SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL CAMPUS Twin Cities Hmong Catholic Community Located at 651 Virginia Street, Saint Paul Sunday Mass (Hmong and English) 9:00 a.m. SUNDAY STEWARDSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS FOR FEBRUARY 15, 2015 Sunday Envelopes Member EFT/credit card Visitors Total Sunday Contributions Fiscal Year-to-date Last Year-to-date Difference from Last Year Saint Vincent de Paul Campus $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 6,443.00 11,741.00 5,001.00 23,185.00 818,563.00 858,383.00 (39,820.00) 773.00 I’ll be blunt– I am diametrically opposed to snooze buttons on alarm clocks. Mind you, I have nothing against its purported inventor Lew Wallace, who was perhaps best known for his novel “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ,” that became the basis for the epic Charlton Heston 1959 film that fetched 11 Oscars! If you are strongly “prosnooze” you may wish to skip this week’s column, or at the least head right for the bullet points! For me, any modicum of progress that I have experienced in the spiritual life has come from the times that I have exercised discipline. The converse is equally true with respect to “backsliding” spiritually. And one of the very best ways to practice discipline happens each and every morning– when the alarm clock sounds. St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, dubbed it the “heroic minute.” He wrote: “Conquer yourself each day from the very first moment, getting up on the dot, at a fixed time, without yielding a single minute to laziness. If, with God’s help, you conquer yourself, you will be well ahead for the rest of the day. It’s so discouraging to find oneself beaten at the first skirmish!” (The Way, # 191). These words are near and dear to my heart because, long before I ever saw them, I have tried to live by them. This ideal does not come from anything deep inside me, as much as it reflects how I was raised. Growing up in a family in which sleeping until 6:30 a.m. was considered “borderline” lazy, I have been formed over the decades by my own experiences. Yes, there have been those bemused souls who have asked me, “Why do you get up so early?” I usually respond with a smile and a twinkle– “Why do you sleep so late?” In the first chapter of his Gospel, St. Mark records of Jesus: “Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.” (Mark 1:35) On Easter Sunday, does the Bible record that the women went to the tomb around Noon? Of course not–“But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.” (Luke 24:1) Finally, the Psalms record: “My eyes greet the night watches as I meditate on your promise.” (Psalm 119:148) That passage is in part responsible for contemplative monasteries rising so early for “Matins,” the very first prayers of the day (also known as Night Vigils). I rest my case! The ancient Greeks devised water-clocks that dripped water into a hollow cylinder. The gradually rising column of water eventually tipped a saucer into which were placed marbles, which upon tumbling out, landed on a gong– “Wake up!” The philosopher Plato used such a clock to wake him up for his morning lectures. If you ever pay a visit to Venice, you’ll surely see the clock tower in the Piazza San Marco (assembled in 1493 A.D.), arguably the most original striking clock still in operation. As we move into the second full week of Lent, there is significant time remaining to see progress and get back on track if we have slipped in our resolutions. Perhaps you may want to try the alarm test for a week. Promise yourself you will get up immediately, within sixty seconds, and neither hit the snooze alarm, nor adjust the wake up time nine minutes later– that’s cheating! Nine minutes per day translates into 4.5 hours per month, 54 hours per year. That’s more than an entire workweek, precious time you can be doing something besides sleeping! In all seriousness, people are constituted differently. There are many for whom a 9:30 p.m. bedtime is incomprehensible for anyone older than twelve years of age. I’ll concede Page 5 their point, and I promise not look askance at all those late sleepers, if in turn they’ll refrain from thinking that those of us in the “5:00 a.m. Club” have completely “lost it.” Do we have a deal? The important spiritual lesson centers not on whether we rise at a particular time as much as it does upon the discipline involved in sticking to a routine and answering the call of the day with resolve. Think about it– if we really lose the first battle of the day (with our clocks), we have already gotten off to a bad start. The first five minutes of the day may well be the key. If my feet are on that floor before the clock reads 5:01 a.m., the day is already a winner– at least for that moment! It is a great feeling. St. Paul wrote: “Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.” (1 Corinthians 9:25) Think about it for a moment. If you have successfully exercised, dieted, or perfected your golf game, the single greatest factor in your success is due to one thing, and one thing only– discipline. It does no good to exercise for a week, if you do not follow up the next week. In the spiritual life, we are either moving forward or we regress. The one thing we cannot do is remain in place. We have been handed a golden opportunity this Lent for growth; let us not squander it. • A Court case in Baton Rouge, LA centering upon the seal of the confessional is significant for its implications that touch upon aspects of Church law and theology. To whom does the seal apply–priests only, or the penitent too? May a penitent release a priest from the seal in order to compel his testimony? A woman claims that she confided details about being abused by a now deceased lay member of the parish and that the priest should have gone to the police. At the time she did not consider the discussion to be under the sacramental seal. • The site of our first Cathedral was across the street from the Crowne Plaza Hotel, part of the current Kellogg Mall Park. Both the second and third cathedrals that preceded our current church were located downtown in the block bordered by West 6th St. between St. Peter and Wabasha, a site currently occupied by the historic Hamm building, home to Meritage Restaurant and the administrative office of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. • • Talk about jet lag– The world’s newest and youngest Cardinal, 53 yearold Soane Paini Mafi, needs four flights to travel from Nuku'alofa, Tonga to Rome. The eternal city is 9500 miles and twelve times zones away. But think of the frequent flier miles he’ll accumulate! Join us next Saturday for a Morning of Recollection with professor Dr. Denis McNamara from Mundelein. He will explore the spirituality of Church architecture. It is a fitting topic during our centennial celebration. See the bulletin for more details. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. John L. Ubel, Rector QUICK REMINDERS Daylight Saving Time: Beginning next Sunday, March 8, 2015, don’t forget to “Spring Forward” one hour before you go to bed.

Records show that Archbishop John Ireland welcomed many visitors—political figures, businessmen, social groups—and dedicated, devout women, among them Katherine Drexel. She and her sisters were listed as “guests of the Archbishop” in 1888. A wealthy socialite, Katherine Drexel supported several Indian Missions in Minnesota, among them, missions in Cloquet, Graceville, Red Lake, White Earth and Winona. In 1891, Katherine Drexel founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, whose stated mission was and is to work with Native Americans and African Americans. On a visit to these Minnesota missions, she stopped in Saint Paul, stayed at the Ryan Hotel at Robert and 6th Streets and later walked a short way to the third Cathedral of Saint Paul and Saint Peter and 6th Streets. Although Mother Drexel kept no record, her sister Louise wrote in her diary that she and Mother Drexel attended Mass at the Cathedral, visited with Archbishop John Ireland and Mother Seraphine of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, “a really fine institution.” Mother Katherine Drexel was beatified in 1988 and canonized in 2000. Her feast day is March 3. Note: The fourth Cathedral of Saint Paul has been the destination for other devout men and women: Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, later Pius XII, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, later Benedict XVI, Venerable Fulton Sheen and Mother Teresa of Calcutta. You’ll find their visits recorded in an exhibit in the north exhibit case on the lower level of the Cathedral. ACSP. BAPTISM We welcome those who have been newly baptized. Please pray for them as they continue to grow in Christ. Charlotte Grace Nelson FUNERALS Please remember in your prayers those who are in grief because of the loss of a loved one. Brother Paul O’Donnell, fbp SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION BAPTISM The sacrament of Baptism is celebrated for our parishioners on Sundays after the Noon Mass. Parents must attend a preparation class.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA) REMEMBRANCE, THANKSGIVING, CELEBRATION A Cathedral for All Seasons. Need to send a thank-you note, a note of compassion, a note of congratulation? Cathedral notecards are available for your message—and a sharing of the beauty of the Cathedral—interior and exterior. Mark Balma’s frescoes in the south and north transepts show two important moments in Cathedral history: the arrival of Bishop Joseph Cretin, the first Bishop of the Diocese of Saint Paul on July 2, 1851 and the opening moments of Dedication Day, when Archbishop John Ireland lead the congregation into the New Cathedral of Saint Paul, dedicated on April 11, 1915. The second set focuses on the exterior of the building photographed at just the right moment in spring, summer, winter and fall by Greg Povolny. Centennial notecards are on sale at the Welcome Center: 1 set of 8 cards--$6; 2 sets--$10. Centennial Works of Mercy – March. The Befriender Ministry is a direct and simple approach to the Works of Mercy: they help to make God present by visiting the homebound and sharing the Eucharist. One parish BeFriender describes his experience as a growth experience—and a privilege: “Through Befrienders I have the privilege of bringing the Eucharist to Catholic patients at Regions Hospital and several care facilities. I also visit a 96 year old lady weekly. Befrienders has taught me how to listen and have an open heart.” For more information about the BeFriender Ministry, call Deacon Phillip Stewart, 651.228.1766. Centennial Lenten Tour: Sunday, March 1, 2015 2:00 p.m. Gather in front of the altar for a walk through Cathedral history. Curious about Catholicism? Considering becoming Catholic? RCIA, a process of learning and formation, is modeled on how people were brought into the Church in the first centuries. Visit cathedralsaintpaul.org/rcia and call Patrick Conley at 651.357.1340. MATRIMONY To be married at the Cathedral of Saint Paul, one or both persons of the engaged couple must be an active, registered Cathedral parishioner for six months prior to requesting a wedding date. Call Marybeth Gaetano at 651.357.1325 for information about wedding policies. REMEMBRANCE, THANKSGIVING, CELEBRATION Centennial Works of Mercy – February Report. The end of the month finds more socks for Listening House in the boxes placed near Cathedral doors. The response has been generous with Cathedral parishioners opening their hearts and their hands in a quiet gesture that provides a very simple human comfort—clean socks. It’s not a flashy or great gesture, but it is a gesture that speaks of compassion and charity, and parishioners who donated the more than 600 pairs of clean socks know what that gesture means: “Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me. Matt. 25:40.
