Things Above from Fr. Bilot
Today begins Catholic Schools Week
across our nation.
Celebrating our
Catholic
Schools
affords
us
an
opportunity to thank the Lord for having
an avenue to spread the Gospel
message.
Yes, spread the Gospel
message!
As Catholics, we are entrusted with
the Word, the life and message of Jesus
Christ, and to integrate it into every
aspect of our lives. Being in a Catholic School makes the
message easier to deliver, i.e., we can say we are “Catholic.”
We can talk about Christmas vacation and Easter break as a
celebration of faith, not "winter recess" or “spring break.” As
Catholics, we must never become complacent with the
blessing of having a Catholic Church and Catholic Schools.
Celebrating Catholic Schools Week brings to the forefront that
we must never take our faith and our schools for granted.
They are an avenue by which to bring Christ to the world now
and in the future!
We also have many parishioners who are dedicated
teachers/administrators/students in our public school system.
Those in the public system are challenged to bring the Good
News of Jesus into their jobs, studies and interactions with
others -- not an easy feat when we are discouraged from
talking about faith/religion or our love for the Lord in the
classroom. (Back in the day when I was in the public school
system, we could still talk about religion in school.)
The challenge for those in the public school system is to
witness to the Lord by their actions, their love of God, and to
bring Christian virtues/values into their unique situation.
Together, as a parish, we struggle, but we hope that through
our efforts in Catholic schools, or in our local school systems,
we will nurture our faith and live it proudly and boldly!
We are very blessed here at the Church of the Divine Child
to have a K-12 school system. It takes a great deal of effort,
dedication, sacrifice and faith to continue to operate a Catholic
school. There is also a great deal of opposition from some
constituencies who see the Catholic schools as a threat. We
need not see Catholic schools as a threat but an opportunity
to educate our youth in a faith-based way: Is the threat about
“being better,” or is it about living our lives surrounded by
Catholicism? In turn, it helps us be better Catholics whether
we are inside or outside of the school buildings.
We celebrate our Catholic schools this week because they
are a gift from God. I pray that we use this gift to bring the
Good News of Jesus Christ to a world starving for Catholic
faith, hope and love.
I mentioned in last week’s bulletin article about the
success of most recent Christian Faith Formation Night. Dr.
Fastiggi spoke on Christian/Muslim relations, and it was very
well received. We had several people from the Muslim
community present, and they were pleased with the
presentation. I am glad they were here to help us see how we
are all God’s children. In conjunction with the Education
Commission, we will be looking into what our next step is so
Page 3
that this dialogue can continue, and we can dispel
any myths or apprehensions we may have. Please
pray daily to our Blessed Mother, Mary, to send the
Lord’s peace to our homes, our neighborhoods, our
country and our world. It is through the Lord’s
peace that holiness can abound. Terrorism, threats
and fear will not solve anything. Jesus Christ
remains the "way, the truth and the life."
I am leaving today (January 31) for a week of
vacation. Fr. John is returning from his vacation
today. Always know that even on vacation, I keep
all of you in my daily prayer.
In gratitude,
Fr. Jim
Prayer for Catholic Schools
O Christ, our Teacher,
You invite Your faithful people to make disciples in
Your name and to announce good news to the
poor. We thank You for the gift of Catholic
schools, where
◊ The message of Your life, death, and
resurrection is proclaimed,
◊ Christian community is experienced,
◊ Service to our brothers and sisters is modeled,
◊ And worship of You is cultivated.
Increase our zeal for ensuring that all children and
families can benefit from a high quality Catholic
education, and that Catholic schools grow in their
ability to nurture the soul of our nation.
We ask this through the intercession of The Divine
Child. Amen.

In the Church following
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Novena
You are invited to Praise and Worship and
Intercessory Prayer with our Prayer Team.

What is intercession? Most simply put, it is praying
for others.

trained in this intercession form of prayer. You don’t
need any experience to join us. Please come for
one night or every week. A new addition to these

guitar. She recently graduated from Steubenville
and is also trained in intercession.
Please pray about joining this wonderful ministry or
just come try it out on a Tuesday evening. Most

intimacy with the Lord.

Divine Child Book Group
The DC Book Group gathers to discuss spiritual
books by solid Catholic authors.
We invite you to join us!
Our next book selection is…
Crossing the Tiber
by Steve Ray
Steve Ray was raised in a devout Baptist
family. When a friend converted to the
Catholic Church, Steve and his wife Janet
decided to investigate the claims of the
Catholic Church. After hundreds of hours of
studying the Bible and the early Church, they
were convinced that the Catholic Church was
the Church founded by Christ, and were
received into the Church in 1994.
In Crossing the Tiber, Ray shares his journey and takes you
back to discover the early Church, the Catholics Church’s
teachings on Baptism and the Eucharist.
“A moving account of conversion and an instructive book.
Catholics can discover the clear logic of their faith.”
-Fr. Stanley Jaki
This book is available through any bookseller in paperback
and e-books.

Frequently asked questions about Lent
Who can impose ashes?
The ordinary minister for the blessing of ashes is a priest
or deacon. Others may assist with the imposition of ashes
where there is genuine need, especially for the sick and
shut-ins.
What are the formulas to be used?
"Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel." Or
"Remember, man you are dust and to dust you will
return."
Is it permissible for people to self-impose ashes on
Ash Wednesday?
No.
Ashes are meant to be received, not taken and selfimposed. The Ceremonial for Bishops in its explanation of
Ash Wednesday states:
On the Wednesday before the First Sunday of Lent the
faithful, by receiving ashes, enter upon the season
appointed for spiritual purification. This sign of penance,
biblical in origin and preserved among the customs of the
Church until our own day, expresses the human condition
as affected by sin. In this sign we outwardly profess our
guilt before God and thereby, prompted by the hope that
the Lord is kind and compassionate, patient and
abounding in mercy, express our desire for inward
conversion. This sign is also the beginning of the journey
of conversion that will reach its goal in the celebration of
the sacrament of reconciliation during the days leading to
Easter.[#253 Ceremonial of Bishops]
The blessing and imposition of ashes should take place
either in the Mass or outside of the Mass. In the latter
case, it is to be part of a liturgy of the word and
conclude with the prayer of the faithful, Blessing and
Dismissal. [Circular Letter Concerning the Preparation
and Celebration of the Easter Feasts, #21]
The explanation in the Ceremonial of Bishops continues
with directives for the Bishop himself to receive the ashes
from another minister, concelebrant or deacon.
Is it proper to empty baptismal fonts during Lent?
Removing the holy water from the baptismal font during
Lent is an innovation based on custom not liturgical law.
The practice shows a lack of understanding of the season
of Lent.
“Through its twofold theme of repentance and baptism,
the season of Lent disposes both the catechumens and
the
faithful
to
celebrate
the
paschal
mystery. Catechumens are led to the sacraments of
initiation by means of the rite of election, the scrutinies,
and catechesis. The faithful, listening more intently to the
word of God and devoting themselves to prayer, are
prepared through a spirit of repentance to renew their
baptismal promises.” [Ceremonial of Bishops, #249]
For both catechumens and the faithful it is important to
keep in the forefront of their mind the importance of the
waters of baptism. Catechumens passing by the
Page 7
baptismal font are led to yearn for the day when they will
be claimed as God’s children and join the family of
God. The faithful passing by the baptismal waters are led
to reflect on how they have been unfaithful to their
baptismal promises and use the time of Lent to repent so
that they are ready to renew those promises at the Easter
Vigil. The waters in the baptismal font serve as a constant
reminder to both groups.
There is no document that addresses this issue directly
since it is the innovation of someone’s imagination. The
only time that emptying the baptismal font is addressed is
in the Ordo. In the directives for Holy Thursday the Ordo
says: Holy water may be removed from all fonts. They are
refilled with the water blessed at the Easter Vigil.
May the Stations be ended with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament?
Benediction is part of the Order for Solemn Exposition of
the Holy Eucharist. This order of prayer is part of the
Church's official liturgy. It is no longer permitted for
benediction to be added to end any other service or
devotion.

Catholic Faith Formation Night
With special guest speaker: Dr. Robert Fastiggi
Professor of Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Dr. Fastiggi addresses a full auditorium
with Catholics and Muslims in attendance. The evening was very interesting as we learned about
the history of Islam and pointing out similarities and differences between our faiths.
It was a very pleasant and informative night.
Please visit the Lighthouse Catholic Media Stand
located in the Gathering Room.
Religious CD’s and books are available for a
minimal fee.
Here is a sample of what you can expect to see:
(Depositing this fee in the stand, helps keep this program going)
What is this?
The Vocations Chalice Kit is a way to involve parish
households to pray for vocations.
How does it work?
The Vocations Chalice Kit is located in the Vestry of the
Gathering Room in the Church, next to the Ushers Room. Any
Divine Child family can sign it out at
www.signupgenius.com/go/8050a45aba82ca20-church,
take it home for a week and put it in a place of honor.
Each day the household will pray for an increase in vocations to
the priesthood and religious life. There are suggested prayers
within the kit. Families that are signed up can pick up the Kit
after 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday. Please return the kit prior to
9:30 a.m. Mass the following week.
It’s that easy!
Questions? Please call the Rectory Office for details at
313.277.3110.
In this
informative talk,
Dr. Scott Hahn
explores some of
the most
important beliefs
that distinguish
Christianity from
Islam. He
explains that
while both
religions trace
themselves back
to Abraham, the differences, including our understanding
of God as Father, are not insignificant. With charity,
balance, and candor, Dr. Hahn shows us how Islam
presents the most formidable challenge to Christianity in
the Third millennium.
Together, we seek to deepen our relationship with God
through the Catholic faith.

Holy Humor
A little girl was talking to her teacher about
whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a
whale to swallow a human because even though it was a
very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not
swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'
The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

National Catholic Schools Week
“Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and
Service” is the theme of National Catholic Schools Week 2016,
the annual celebration that begins this Sunday, January 31, to
focus attention on the good work of the nation’s Catholic
schools.
Our Catholic elementary and high schools integrate faith and
values into every aspect of students’ educational experiences, to
ensure they are educated wholly, in mind, body, and spirit.
Catholic school students are encouraged to think and act
according to the mind and heart of Jesus Christ.
Your gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal allow the
archdiocesan Office for Catholic Schools to help our Catholic
schools provide their students with exceptional academic
training while continuing the teaching mission of Jesus Christ.
The office, which is part of the Department of Evangelization,
Catechesis and Schools, offers resources for teachers and
principals, parents and students, and alumni.
For more information about CSA-funded ministries, programs,
and services, please go to www.AOD.org.
