Dear St. Paul of the Cross Parishioners,
During the celebration of baptism, the priest or deacon anoints the child on the forehead
with the sacred Chrism which is the same holy oil used to anoint the hands of the deacon, the
priest and the bishop. We may wonder what the significance of the ritual is. This anointing
demonstrates that through baptism the baby shares in the priesthood of Christ. One of the
principal functions of the priest is to offer worship and praise to God. Through this simple gesture,
the Church reminds all of us that as baptized one of our main privileges as well as our duties is to
offer worship and praise to God.
Through our baptism, therefore, all of us are called upon to praise God through prayer.
Thus our need to pray springs from our very identity as baptized Christians. We are summoned to join the angels and saints
in heaven, the suffering Church in purgatory and the Pilgrim Church here on earth, in offering our supplications to God.
That is why priests are expected to pray the Divine Office on a daily basis. They are obliged to pray five times a day. Even
ordinary Christians are expected to spend adequate time in prayer.
Once we accept our duty to pray, we are faced with the inevitable question: How do we pray? In the Gospel of
Luke, Jesus is asked by his disciples to teach them how to pray. The Lord does not give them a manual on prayer. He
teaches them the Our Father. He says to them that the Our Father is the model of authentic prayer. In this column I would
like to draw from that prayer three simple lessons that will help us to pray better.
If we look at the Lord’s Prayer closely, we will notice one important feature. The first part of the prayer is all about
God and the second part is about us. The first lesson we learn is that prayer is all about God and not about us. Prayer is not
our strategy to twist God’s arm so that He will do our bidding. Real prayer is supposed to enable us to align ourselves
completely with God’s will. The Our Father says, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Even
though we should pray in this fashion always, such prayer becomes more necessary at certain moments of our lives – when
tragedy strikes, when we lose someone dear, or when life hands us unexpected sorrow. It is in those moments that we need
to bow our heads in total surrender to God’s design. Such prayer will help us follow the example of our Blessed Mother
who spoke those memorable words to Archangel Gabriel: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according
to your word.” Such prayer will enable us to walk in the footsteps of the Son of God who prayed in the Garden of
Gethsemane just before His passion: “Father, let this cup pass from Me, but not my will, but yours be done!”
The second aspect that stands out is that the Lord encourages us to ask, to pray for things. We can ask for daily
bread and we can also ask for forgiveness. We can pray for protection from evil. Even though God knows our needs, He
wants us to ask. In asking, however, we must bear in mind two things. First of all, we are encouraged to pray not just for
ourselves but mostly for others. This type of prayer is known as the prayer of intercession. This type of prayer is powerfully
present in the Biblical tradition. Abraham pleaded with God to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. How many times
Moses begs God to turn his anger away from the Israelites who were stiff-necked people! Jesus Himself prayed for His
disciples and for the Church at the Last Supper. As baptized, we are called to pray for others. Through intercessory prayer
God gives us the opportunity to channel God’s power for the benefit of our world. Parents and grandparents should pray for
their children and grandchildren following the example of holy mothers like St. Monica who prayed for her son, Augustine.
We can also pray for things. While we can pray for daily bread, we can ask for a little butter too. If you are on a
diet, you can ask for a touch of “I can’t believe it is not butter!” We can ask but God reserves the right to respond. He
always answers our prayers. His response comes in three forms: Yes, no, and not now. God orchestrates everything for our
eternal salvation. If something we pray for will pose a threat to that ultimate goal, God will not grant it to us.
The third lesson that I would to draw from the Lord’s Prayer is that our prayer should be childlike. The Master
asked us to address God as “Our Father.” The word used in Aramaic can be translated as “daddy” or “papa.” In other
words, in our prayer we should become like little children. Sometimes we become too sophisticated for our own good. We
no longer believe in miracles. The Father Who gave us chocolate and coffee – which we obviously do not need for survival
– will give gifts beyond our imagining or our merits. Often I have asked the Lord for signs when I am facing a challenge.
Sometimes He does provide a sign. One day a 5-year-old girl prayed: “Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our
trash baskets as we forgive others’ trash baskets. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us some email. Amen.” I am sure
that the Lord smiled on her prayer.
Just as the disciples asked the Lord, let us ask Him to teach us how to pray.
Yours warmly,
Fr Britto
Pastor

Hi Adrienne,
Thank you for the check for New Hope. We appreciate all of your support with this. We also received a
check last week for the Veterans from St. Paul of the Cross. This was a wonderful surprise. The SSVF were very
excited to receive additional money to help pay for transportation and other much needed incidentals. For those
homeless vets, it may mean giving them bug spray or sun block lotion, a warm meal or help to fix a minor car
repair so they can get to work.
Thank you again for the support of St. Paul of the Cross parishioners and staff. Special thanks to Fr. Britto!
Thanks for your help too!

PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL
DON’T FORGET JESUS DURING THE SUMMER
As we travel through the roads of summer, various usual
programs slow down or are curtailed in favor of vacations, outdoor
activities and events that are only appropriate for summertime.
Although summertime is a time to refresh ourselves, one of the
casualties of this change is usually our religious activities. We
always try to satisfy our obligation for Sunday Mass but such efforts
as daily Mass, Church visits, social justice obligations and daily
prayers suffer. Many times we put God on the shelf and say,
“See You in September.”
Traveling This Summer?
Visit masstimes.org to find a
Mass near you.
When we are on vacation away from
home we should always “bring Christ
with us, one way or the other.” Visiting out-of-town churches or shrines is
not only beneficial spiritually, but also
gives us interesting insight into spiritual
activities of other peoples. Maintaining
our daily prayers, rosaries, novenas
keeps us in balance and we share our
pleasure and relaxation with God.
In our Eucharistic Adoration Chapel, Jesus in the Real Presence shares
Himself with us. He stays there—seven days a week, 24 hours a day. He does
not go on vacation from us. He is there. He does not forget about us. He
watches and waits for us in the Holy Eucharist every day to heal, console and
strengthen us. He will never leave us. When you are home, try to visit Him in
the Chapel and thank Him for always being there for us. Visiting Him
refreshes us more than any summer breeze on a hot day.
HOLY HOUR AND
BENEDICTION
Please join us.
Featuring prayers of
devotion to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus in the
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL
on Saturday, August 6, 2016

During this HOLY HOUR, we will join
our voices in vocal prayer before
Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Reparation, The Holy Rosary and
the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
will be said aloud.

Great Adventure Bible Timeline
Bible study by Jeff Cavins
Mondays, Beginning September 12 • 7-9 p.m.
"The Bible is at the heart of our faith and our relationship
with God. Scripture informs our beliefs and inspires our devotions. It is the living Word of God, where our Father meets with us
and lovingly speaks to us. Reading the Bible should bring us
closer to Christ, but understanding it is not always easy. Many
people tell me they have tried time and again to prayerfully read
Scripture, but they get frustrated because they “just don’t get it.”
“The Great Adventure Catholic Bible study program is designed in such a way that anyone can make sense of
the Bible and experience the life-changing power of God’s Word. Hundreds of thousands of people have found new
meaning in their lives after going through The Great Adventure Bible studies. It is my prayer that you, too, will see how
a newfound understanding of God’s Word can transform your life and bring you closer to Christ." -- Jeff Cavins

NURSE’S NOTES……….
Howdy everyone!
Perhaps you have heard that a long flight in a crowded plane can be like flying in a Petri dish;
we can be temporarily surrounded by many nasty, illness causing germs. Folks do become ill after a
lengthy flight, but new research seems to indicate that there may be another cause: jet lag or anything
that disrupts our internal body clock. The researchers found that certain molecules, part of the immune
system, can malfunction when our body clock is out of sync and we can fall prey to viruses, bacteria, etc. So, perhaps
preparing our body clock by gradually adjusting our sleep/wake schedule prior to a long flight can be helpful, if we can
so do.
When Mom tells us, eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away, believe her. Apples are a wonderfully
delicious healthful food, beneficial to our health in general, but especially so for our heart health. Research
done in Great Britain has indicated that consuming an apple a day can effectively help save lives.
Speaking of heart problems….researchers believe that a risk for heart disease, perhaps more so than high
cholesterol etc., is a higher amount of calcium in the arteries. We’ll monitor the situation and, consume coffee which,
according to the research, may help to lower the amount of calcium in our arteries. The recommended amount is
between one and four cups, per day. If we consume four to six cups of coffee per day, our risk of multiple sclerosis
(MS), can be lowered.
We know that olive oil has cardiovascular benefits. We are learning that one of its ingredients, hydroxytyrosol,
may help to prevent breast cancer by reducing the density of the tissue. In addition, we may want to splash some olive
oil on tomatoes and there by also help to lower breast cancer risk. Consuming tomatoes regularly, especially if we are
post menopausal, can help to regulate the levels of blood sugar and fats and lower the risk of breast cancer. Do enjoy
these healthful, tasty fruits often.
Controversial for many years, it appears that vitamin E, specifically a fat soluble alpha tocopherol, can possibly
help to slow the decline of Alzheimer’s disease, especially for those who are moderately affected. This was found
during a recent study of folks in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The vitamin helped people to perform simple daily activities
like preparing meals, shopping and traveling. Potentially good news.
Pollution, smoking, too much alcohol, antihistamine medications, using a computer for many hours while
spending hours in an air conditioned environment, can all lead to eyes that are dry which can be uncomfortable. Other
triggers can be hormonal changes, aging, contact lens use, allergies and post Lasik surgery. All of the above can affect
the production of tears and how much we blink our eyes. The tears can become more concentrated and less efficient in
keeping our eyes healthy. Blinking helps to distribute moisture throughout the eyes’ surface and rid the eyes of microscopic residues, but also becomes inefficient when eyes are dry and when we don’t blink as often as we should.
This can be apparent when we concentrate deeply and use a computer or read or write at length. We can blink more
frequently and/or use special drops to help this situation. There may be an oral supplement that can be helpful—we’ll
monitor this. A thorough eye exam, detailing how the eyes are used, is a good idea.
Until next week, let’s remember that, “our work-a-day lives are filled with opportunities to bless others. The
power of a single glance or an encouraging smile must never be underestimated”.
Fondly,
Linda Burk, Your Parish Nurse
