MALLIA’S MOMENTS
By Fr. Joe Mallia
Now that the big celebration for St. Patrick is done and
the warm-up band is off the stage so to speak, we can get to
the real highlight of the month of March, the Feast of St.
Joseph, husband of Mary. For people of Italian and Polish
backgrounds, the Feast of St. Joseph is just as big as St.
Patrick is for the Irish. That being said let us take a moment
to think about this man, St. Joseph.
3)
4)
5)
There is very little that is known about him other than
what is spoken about in the Bible. We know that he was of
the line of David, but the Bible is not very clear on if they
lived in Bethlehem and then moved to Nazareth or if they
lived in Nazareth, went to Bethlehem and then moved back
to Nazareth after a short stay in Egypt. It depends on which
of the two gospels you read. We do know that he was a
carpenter, but we do not know when he died, where he is
buried and if in fact he was older than Mary. In the
Orthodox faith, they hold that Joseph was previously
married and after his wife died, took Mary as his wife. Such
things have some foundation in early Christian writings
though not widely accepted by the Catholic Church. Other
than that, not much is known about the man and the
implication that he was a quiet man is based primarily on the
fact that there are few recorded words that he was
supposed to have spoken. Being a man of few words is
common to men named Joseph by the way. So why all the
fuss about him?
The little that is recorded about St. Joseph in the Bible
does lead us to admire him for his care and devotion to
Mary and Jesus. It could be surmised that though not a well
-respected profession, St. Joseph provided a moderate
standard of life for his family and was a man who had great
faith in accepting the call of the Lord in his life, even to take
Mary into his home as his wife and not take the easy way
out. If nothing else, in today’s world, a role model that does
not take the easy way out is one we desperately need. As
we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph let us pray together:
“O God, in your eternal providence you chose St.
Joseph to be the spouse of your most holy Mother;
grant that we may deserve to have him as our
intercessor in heaven even as we venerate him as our
protector on earth, with you who live and reign, world
without end. Amen.”
***Stations of the Cross,
every Friday evening at 7pm.***
Please Remember:
1) Weekly Mass attendance is mandatory! You
should make every attempt to be at Church
unless you are ill or have to work.
2) You should be praying every day. We have
provided materials for Lent, but you can also
find something on your own. I suggest at least
30 minutes of prayer each day and some
6)
spiritual reading for your meditation on the
Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ.
Try to attend a daily Mass, especially on
Tuesday, each week beyond Sunday or 30
minutes of adoration before the Blessed
Sacrament in our Adoration Chapel each week.
It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Plan on going to confession once before Easter.
This is very important if you have not gone in a
long time.
It is encouraged that your Lenten penance be
focused on a behavior you do not want to return
to rather than something you wish to pick up
once Lent is over.
Fridays are still days when we are to abstain
from eating meat. Maybe a conversation at the
dinner table on that day about faith would be
appropriate.

NEWS and EVENTS
FROM THE DEACON’S DESK
A REFLECTION FOR THE SEASON OF LENT
WEEK 3
The Eucharist is a pledge of future glory. The fullness of Holy
Communion will only be realized when we enter into heaven and
see God, not in the mystery, but to see Him face to face. Only in
that glorious eternity can we understand the awesome value of this
precious Eucharistic gift. This week’s reflection is centered on the
glory of this precious gift and what it means to each of us. Out of
the many things that can be said about the Holy Eucharist, I have
only chosen 4 items for us to consider; joy, thanksgiving,
reverence, and humility. It is always a good practice for us to
ponder upon the heavenly things that God has provided for us. I
do not have the capacity nor am I able to fully explain here in this
reflection on all the eternal truths of the Eucharist, but even this
little bit can move us towards the truth.
We are called to holiness. All Christians in any state or walk
of life are called to the fullness of the Christian life in holiness and
to the perfection of charity. This calling makes our faith and our
participation in the sacraments necessary because only God can
provide these attributes of holiness and the perfection of charity.
God includes us in a personal way; he shares himself with us, by
way of the sacraments, provided we receive him in faith. In a
sense, in consuming the Eucharist, we are allowing God to take us
by the hand and lead us back to our original state of creation, as
beings of holiness and justice. This simple but lofty contemplation
should bring us great joy because God is offering us the privilege
to exist in his image, his likeness, and in a very personal way, for
his glory.
In comprehending the truth that God calls us into His Love,
our hearts should sing a song of thanksgiving to the Lord. For
God sent the Son into the world not to condemn the world, but that
the world might be saved through him. (John 3:17) We all know
to some degree, contingent upon our maturity, that one of the most
intimate things we can do is reveal ourselves to one another. God
has revealed Himself to humanity many times in history, ultimately
in the Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ. Our response to
God’s revelation, as believers, demands that we constantly
prepare our lives for that eternal communion with Christ in heaven.
That is why it is so important to prepare properly for Holy
Communion, to encounter God in the sacrament. In the sacred
liturgy we are called to the altar to communion with the Body and
Blood of Jesus Christ. This encounter is more than a pledge of
future glory, this invitation to communion with the Son is a most
wonderful opportunity to be presented to God, the Father Almighty;
for no one comes to the Father, but by me. (John 14:6b) Thanks
be to God.
Jesus tells us that He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood
abides in me, and I in Him. This is why we give such reverence to
Jesus, especially that in the Eucharist. No matter where we have
been in life or what we may have been involved in, God is faithful
to these words. Through the ministry of His Church, souls find
their way back home by means of conversion. It is the sorrowful,
repentant heart that moves heaven to rejoice: there will be more
joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine
righteous persons who need no repentance (Luke 15:7); and there
is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. (Luke
15:10) The Holy Eucharist is not for the perfect soul but for those
who desire God and want to learn the life of divine love. When we
approach Jesus in the Sacred Host we must hold in our hearts our
love for Jesus, because He has died for love of our love. In light of
His love for us, we must approach with a profound reverence
since through the mercy of God we shall not die but live; As the
living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who
eats me will live because of me. (John 6:57)
We should be humbled by the love God is offering to us in the
Holy Eucharist. Jesus extends his hand from heaven and from the
Cross to feed us the Bread of Life; For my flesh is food indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed. (John 6:55) Indeed, to learn the life
of divine love is to begin in faith and consume Jesus in the
Eucharist, because He who does not love does not know God; for
God is love (1 John 4:8) and God is in the Sacred Host. This is
our food for the journey, a spiritual food that is necessary for our
growth in the Christian life, the sacred bread of our pilgrimage until
the moment of death when it will then be given to us as viaticum.
We must keep these 4 things in our hearts and in our minds
each time we approach the Sacrament of the Eucharist; Joy,
Thanksgiving, Reverence, Humility. That is why confession is so
necessary for our preparation because it clears away all the
obstacles that would hinder this most sacred moment of Holy
Communion. A thorough and honest look at ourselves allows us
to place our imperfections before the Lord in the Sacrament of
Reconciliation, that through this sacrament and in his great mercy
he will heal and strengthen us.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right
spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and
take not thy holy Spirit from me. (Psalm 51:10-11)

RCIA ELECT
Please meet Catechumen Joshua Seth Lockwood:
My name is Joshua Seth
Lockwood and I am thirty years old.
I am an Eastern Michigan Alumni
and a Michigan certified teacher. I'm
going through the RCIA process
because I want to become a full
member of the Catholic Church, and
be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Growing up as a child, my siblings
and I were a church going family.
We were practically raised in
Bethesda Baptist church. My father became the music director and
played the piano, while my mother sang. When my parents
divorced we stopped going to church slowly but slowly until we just
didn't attend anymore. When I was in high school I started back to
church attending with my Grandmother at First Presbyterian in
Trenton. Once I started college I began to lose my faith in God
even though I took two years of world religions and was brought
up going to church. About two years ago, I started attending
Catholic Mass at Saint Joe's Catholic Church in Lake Orion. I
went with an open mind and heart. I began to read the Bible and
pray every day, while researching the Catholic faith and traditions,
and slowly I started to see a change in me. I saw a change in the
way I thought, spoke, acted, and really saw and felt God calling
me. And to this day, I feel the presence of the Lord working in me
every day. I absolutely love going to church, reading my bible,
saying my daily prayers, and just living a holier life. The people at
Saint Frances Cabrini have been extremely wonderful in
welcoming me into the parish and words really can't express how
much I cherish that. I'm thoroughly looking forward to completing
the process and growing as a member of the Catholic Church.
growing as a person and as a Christian, but I see my faith
strengthening as well. Although I was raised Catholic my entire
life, the process of RCIA has brought me even closer to God. This
has been a privilege to work with Joshua, and it brings me so
much joy to see him grow more spiritually every day and I can't
wait to stand with him as he completes this process when he is
baptized, confirmed, and receives the Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
Please meet
Druyor:
Catechumen
Kim
There were so many things that
led me to the R.C.I.A process. It is
important to me to keep Christ in our
home, which involves leading my
children by example. I am a baptized
Christian, however, like many of us, I
put my spiritual life on hold while the
more “important” things took priority.
Through R.C.I.A. I have learned so many amazing things about
our faith as Catholics, as well as keeping Christ first in our home.
This year is particularly unique to our group going through the
program because of all the changes that are taking place within
the church. I feel that it was the perfect time to become part of
such a wonderful process, and learn all these new things along
with the other members of the church. My fiancé, my daughter,
and I will be participating in the Easter Vigil where I look forward to
becoming fully initiated into the Catholic Church, and continuing to
grow in my faith.
A word from Sponsor, Chris Marmion:
I was raised Catholic and have become involved with R.C.I.A.
through my fiancé. After being away from the church for many
years I have rediscovered and strengthened my faith with the help
of R.C.I.A. and the Cabrini community. Since I have been away, I
too am learning all the changes that have taken place. It is very
important to us to keep God in our home and set a positive
example. I look forward to our marriage in the eyes of God as well
as sharing our lives as Christians. The R.C.I.A. process and
attending Cabrini church have had a positive impact in my life.
Please meet Catechumen: Kelli Fabbri
I have gone through this RCIA
process a couple times. During each
of those failed attempts, my heart
wasn't really into it. This time, I am
definitely ready to be faith-filled and
trusting in the Lord. I also want to set
and live examples of Jesus'
teachings in my own life with my
husband and sons. I am thrilled to
share this with my family.
A word from Sponsor, Kristin Lockwood:
A word from Sponsor Chelsea GrantI am honored to be Joshua Seth Lockwood's sponsor as he
becomes fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Here is a little bit
of information about myself. I am Joshua's sister-in-law. My
husband, two daughters and I belong to the parish. I have two
daughters ages three and eight months, and our youngest
daughter was baptized at our parish. When Joshua asked me to
be his sponsor I immediately said yes. Not only do I see him
I was honored when Kelli asked me to be her sponsor. The
thought of helping someone else grow in faith really appealed to
me. Growing up in the Catholic faith helped shape me as a person
and I am extremely thrilled to help Kelli through her journey of
faith.

MEMORIAL PLAQUE FOR
THE GARDEN
If you are considering
honoring your loved one with a
memorial that will last a lifetime,
you may want to consider having
their name put on one of our
plaques in the Memorial Garden.
The plaques are now placed on
the outside wall of the church
facing the garden and we need
approximately 100 to 110 names before the plaque can go to the
engraver. We now have 61 names, so we still need 48 names.
Please come into the rectory and fill out a form and give your
loved one a memorial that when their friends and family walk
through the garden they can read and remember the good
memories. The names put on the plaque do not have to be
deceased and in this way you can honor your whole family.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Arbor Hospice is seeking committed, compassionate
individuals who are interested in companioning the terminally ill in
your area. Complete training classes will be provided and held in
your area. No physical care skills needed. The most important
requirement is a desire to help a patient or a family member
struggling with a terminal diagnosis. If interested please call Gerry
at 734-656-0031 or email: [email protected].

WHAT IS A “NUN RUN?”

the people in the Detroit area and beyond. Transportation

The Nun Run is scheduled for March 30-31, 2012. The event
will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday the 30th and conclude at 8:30 pm
