Pray for the Little Sisters of the Poor March 23
Oral Arguments to be heard at the US Supreme Court
T
he Little Sisters of the Poor (LSP) V. Burwell is scheduled at the
United States Supreme Court for oral arguments on Wednesday,
March 23, 2016. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is representing
the Little Sisters. Approximately 100 million Americans do not have
health insurance plans covered by Obamacare’s HHS Contraception
Mandate, because the Obama administration has exempted plans for
big corporations, large cities and the U.S. military. That said, this same
administration is insisting that the LSP provide its employees, free contraception, abortion inducing drugs, and sterilization procedures, or
be forced to pay $70 million in punitive fines. This is clearly a violation
of religious freedom, since contraception, abortion and sterilization are
contrary to the Catholic Faith.
The Becket Fund states: “That the Obama administration arguments
to the Supreme Court, admits that women not covered by the mandate,
can still obtain free birth control through a family member’s health
plan, or through the Obamacare exchanges.” The Becket Fund states,
“Using the healthcare exchanges, which the government has hailed as
a “easy and fast” healthcare option for millions of Americans, would
protect both the Little Sisters of the Poor’s Religious Freedom, and the
government’s goal to provide free access to
these services to women who want them.” In
other words, the LSP are not trying to prevent
the government of providing these services,
but object to the government’s insisting that
the Little Sisters provide these services. The Little Sisters are focused on service to the elderly. They exhausted every possible option before taking their
case to court. This case does not endanger or affect the Affordable Care Act.
It only deals with a regulation created by an agency—Health & Human Services—which would force the Sisters to provide services to which they are
morally opposed.
On March 23rd, there will be a nationwide effort to pray in local churches
at the time of the Supreme Court hearing the oral argument. We will pray for
the attorneys defending the Little Sisters, the Supreme Court Justices, and
most importantly, that Religious Freedom in this nation will be protected
in law.
Remember, the Little Sisters of the Poor are in 31 countries worldwide,
with 30 homes across the United States, which serve 13,000 elderly and poor,
day and night with their care.
Pawiak Prison
A
uschwitz was not
the only prison,
nor was it the first prison
Maximilian faced.
On February 17,
1941, the Gestapo came
to arrest Maximilian
and he greeted them by
saying, “Praised be Jesus
Christ!”
Like Pilate and the
Sanhedrin, the Gestapo
began to interrogate
Maximilian about his
teaching and he gave them a tour
of Niepokalanow after which he
was arrested in his office along
with 5 other Franciscan priests
and taken to Pawiak Prison, never
to see his brothers or Niepokalanow again.
There were about 30 prisoners
in the cell and the spirit of Maximilian was one of calm. Kolbe
had the ability to turn prisons
into chapels.
By his questions and discussions he brought about calm. By
his prayer other prisoners could
see his union with God.
By his refusal to take off his
which said, “All the
Brothers must pray very
much and well. Work
with fervor and do not
worry too much about
us because nothing can
happen to us without
the permission of God
and the Immaculata.”
Franciscan habit he showed his
willingness to accept persecution
for being a priest.
By his taking the less comfortable place in the cell, he showed
his willingness to suffer for others.
From his Franciscan habit
hung a rosary with a crucifix. For
which he was beaten repeatedly.
His death in the starvation
bunker was no accident.
Without realizing it, everything Maximilian did in his life
was in preparation for his death
in Auschwitz.
On March 13 Maximilian
wrote a postcard from prison
Prayer:
O holy St. John the
Baptist who was imprisoned for preaching the
Truth, give me strength and courage to preach the Truth to those
who are imprisoned by hatred,
selfishness and falsehood.
Mediations and Questions
1. Have I ever visited anyone
in prison?
2. How do I treat those
around me who are imprisoned by suffering,
sorrow or falsehood?
3. What imprisons my heart
and soul?
4. How does my Faith and
Consecration set me free?

Devotional vs. Liturgical
I
Ryan A. Dillon
Director of
Schola Cantorum
n the life of the Catholic Church, there are many ways to pray to God. On one side,
the Church recognizes a variety of prayers for the faithful, and she categorizes all
of these forms of prayer as devotions. On the other side, the Church recognizes worship as liturgical. Things that are included in liturgical worship are the liturgy of the
hours, Mass, and the various other rites and Sacraments. Properly understood, the
faithful use devotions to encounter God on a personal level which will then lead them
to the liturgical celebration. Understanding the difference between the liturgical and
the devotional will allow the faithful to realize how to use devotions to enhance their
liturgical experience.
The Catholic Church uses the variety of devotions to help the faithful fulfill their
personal encounter with God outside of the liturgy. “Popular devotions of the Christian people are to be highly commended…these devotions should be so drawn up that
they harmonize with the liturgical seasons, accord with the sacred liturgy, are in some
fashion derived from [the liturgy], and lead people to [liturgy]…” (Sacrasanctum
Concilium, 13). According to Vatican II, devotions are encouraged and recommended
to all the faithful because devotions give the faithful a personal or private encounter
with God, a favorite saint, or Christ. The different kinds of devotions include singing hymns, singing praise and worship, singing ritual songs, praying to an individual
saint, saying the rosary, praying novenas, or any religious prayer that brings the individual closer to God. Although devotions are a private encounter, they always lead
the faithful to the liturgy. Liturgy, on the other hand, is a communal celebration that
conforms the whole Church to a dialogue between Christ and his bride.
In liturgy, the main focus is Christ. Christ is the head and main actor of the liturgy.
“Liturgy is the priestly work of Jesus Christ as head of the whole public Church and
high priestly mediator” (Dr. Lynne Boughton, Liturgical Institute Professor). Because
the celebrant is in persona Christi, Christ, as head, mediates between the faithful and
God for the sanctification of all the faithful (Sacrasanctum Concilium, 7). Liturgy
is distinguished from devotions because in the liturgy Christ mediates on behalf of
the faithful. Although liturgy has its own function, devotions personally prepare the
faithful for Christ’s public worship. The faithful need devotions to have an emotional
encounter with God, but devotions always carry the faithful to the liturgy to encounter Christ through an objective celebration.
Devotions lead the faithful to the liturgy because devotions are individual encounters with God, but the liturgy and all the components of the liturgy constitute a
public work of Christ as the mediator between God and the faithful. Devotions give
the faithful a private encounter to prepare for the public encounter of the liturgy.
Once the faithful prepare individually, the faithful come to the liturgy, united as the
mystical body of Christ, for the physical encounter with Christ in the public work of
heaven and earth. In the next article of liturgical instruction, I will discuss meaning
and importance of the in persona Christi Capitis.
