Week 15
SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES
Sunday:
“Getting by with a little help
from our friends” is not an idea that
began with the Beatles. Certainly the
idea of “getting by with a little help
from God” goes back at least to the first
reading today from Exodus. How we get
that help, however, is the key to this weekend’s scriptures.
No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task
God had given him, he persevered—even though he needed help from the people around him. The Israelites especially depended on God for freedom. The woman in the
Gospel, desperate and destitute, had no one to depend on,
but still she would not give up. She could not afford to
bribe the unscrupulous judge, but she pestered him into
weariness until finally he met her demands.
We sometimes need to turn to others to help us
through difficult times; but if we always turn to God, we
won’t be disappointed, for our help, the psalm assures us,
is from the Lord.

I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;

ST. PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
From the early medieval period, it was expected that
the many bishops of Italy travel to Rome at least once
every three years to give a report of their ministry, with a
footnote granting the bishops of Sicily a visit every five
years. By the eleventh century, the idea of bishops visiting
the tombs of the apostles was a very strict requirement
for all within reasonable reach of Rome. The age of discovery and the expansion of the Church into remote corners
of the earth made this an unreasonable burden in many
cases, yet every bishop was required at least to send a
representative to Rome every five years.
In 1911, Pope St. Pius X established the rule for a
“quinquennial” (meaning “once in five years”) report, called
an ad limina. This literally means “to the threshhold,” and
refers to the expectation that the visiting bishop will go to
the thresholds of the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul
and to a personal audience with the Holy Father. An exemption was given to so-called “mission territories,” which in
1911 included the United States. The reports were still required, but could be filed by letter with an office of the
missions called “Propagation of the Faith.” This status was
changed in 1917 and since that time all American bishops
have been subject to the ad limina. These reports, carefully
kept in the Vatican archives, are a treasure trove for historians, providing snapshots of culture and faith and a record of
the Church’s resilience even in times of persecution and
change.
