Saint Mary Magdalen Mission
New Chapel Crucifix ~ San Damiano Cross
Father Michael Schleupner blessed the
new crucifix on Monday, September 7
during the 8:30 am Mass. The cross depicts the entire story of Jesus’ death,
resurrection and ascension into glory.
This cross is a copy of the one before
which Saint Francis prayed when he received his special calling from the Lord.
It was painted in the 12th century to be
the centerpiece over the altar of the San
Damiano church in Assisi.
The central figure is Christ himself. The
golden color of Christ’s body conveys
that Christ is a figure of light, “the light
of the world,” giving light to the other
figures in the painting. The eyes of Jesus are open, looking out to the world
which he loves and saves – much like
the figure of Christ on the crucifix in
the main church here at Saint Margaret.
Above Christ’s head is a circle of red
with Christ breaking out of the circle.
This signifies Our Lord’s Ascension
into heaven.
There are various images of people and
angels in the cross – 33 of them. The
most notable are to the left of Christ’s
body – Mary and Saint John. This recalls the touching scene in Saint John’s
Gospel when the dying Jesus says,
“Woman, behold your son. Son, behold
your mother.”
A booklet is available in the chapel that
explains the cross. Reading this prayerfully, and if possible, in the chapel can
serve as a wonderful meditation. The
chapel is open daily until 5:00 pm for
private prayer.
We are most grateful to the
Zukauskas Family
who gave the cross
in memory of
Peter J. and Jennie Zukauskas.

Dear Friends,
Today I am continuing the update on facilities projects that
have recently been
completed or are

I began this in last
week’s column (September 6) and you
can find that (and other past columns)
on the parish website.

opportunities for education and employment may increase for all young people.

Repair of the slate roof and
chimneys of the rectory. This
included the repair of chimney
flashings.
•
Repair of the slate roof of the
AEC. This also included installation of snow stop-boards.
•
Changed lights in the AEC to
LED and installed dimmers.
This will be energy-efficient and
allow for different light settings
for different types of events.
•
Replaced ceilings and lighting in all rooms of the primary
school building. This work was
partially funded by a grant from
the Maryland State Department
of Education. We did the same
thing last summer in the elementary school building.
•
•
Replacement of the rusted
grates over the HVAC vent area
behind the chapel. We waited
to do this until virtually all adjustments on the new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system
that was installed in Phase 1 of the
church project were completed.
Installed windows in the sacristy and music room doors in
the church. This makes those
doors in compliance with today’s
standards.
Community Notes
John Carroll School ~ Bus Trip to
Papal Mass in Philadelphia
•
Repaired sinkhole at the storm
drain behind the Middle School
building. This was just discovered in the spring, and the repair
was done in the summer.
•
Replaced damaged ceiling tiles
in the Middle School building.
The ceilings are in good condition,
but some tiles needed attention.
•
Completed renovation of the
lower meeting room in the Primary School building. This included new ceilings and lighting,
new air conditioner, installation of
a new room divider with double
doors, new lockers and complete
repainting. Besides constant daytime use by the school, this room
is also used most evenings for various meetings. The school paid for
the entire cost of this project.
•
Finally, other standard projects were done especially in the
summer months, such as painting, trimming, classroom cleaning,
floor waxing, and boiler and fire
alarm inspections.
I hope that these two columns have
given some sense of how the budget dollars earmarked for ordinary
and extraordinary repairs are spent.
These are “infrastructure” expenses
that make our spiritual mission possible. I remain grateful for your generosity.

More than 13,700 kids
aged 5 to 18 were treated
in hospitals and doctors’
offices for backpackrelated injuries in a single year, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission. While reducing the weight
of a backpack to no more than about
10% of his or her body weight is not
always possible, here are some tips for
lessening the impact: load heaviest items
closest to the child’s back, remove unnecessary items, and select a pack with
well-padded shoulder straps. Shoulders
and necks have many blood vessels and
nerves that can cause pain and tingling
in the neck, arms, and hands when too
much pressure is applied. For additional resources on this topic, contact
the Health Ministry via Jane O’Hara.

September is Recovery Month
“Stories of Hope”
Hope is the logo for the Substance
Abuse Ministry here at Saint Margaret.
Our hope is that through these stories,
someone struggling with addiction, be
they the addict themselves or the friend
or loved ones of the individual, will find
encouragement to seek help. There is always hope, if we are willing to try.
The gift of desperation - that’s the term
that members of Narcotics Anonymous
use to describe what many people refer
to as “hitting bottom.” It is the point
where use of alcohol and other drugs
have made them so desperate that they
can’t continue on the same path. The
pain of using is greater than the pain that
they try to mask with drugs. Outside of
recovery, most people do not see desperation as a gift. For me, the desperation
was a gift because it gave me the motivation to pursue a new way of life through
recovery. Cocaine had become the focal
point of my life and I knew that it was
taking me down. In the past, when my
love of a particular drug was making my
life unmanageable, I kicked cocaine by
substituting alcohol and marijuana. It was
just alcohol and pot, right? I went into a
downward spiral that led to isolating myself from those who cared about me. I
began thinking that they would be better
off without me. I was failing to meet any
of my responsibilities, and activities that
I had enjoyed were ignored. Fortunately, I had a taste of recovery forced on
me earlier in my life and I remembered
seeing people who had seemed happy
but who had histories similar to mine. I
wasn’t ready for recovery then, but I was
now. I returned to meetings and gradually accepted that what I couldn’t do by
myself, beat drugs and be a reasonably
happy person, I could do through the
fellowship of recovery and the 12steps
of Narcotics Anonymous. Years later,
I’m still working my program and I have
a truly blessed life.

Liturgy
Corner
Signs, Symbols, Gestures and
Postures ~ SSGP 101
As comforting as the familiar signs,
symbols, gestures and postures of our
Mass are to us, we run the risk of taking them for granted and, perhaps, merely
going through the motions. Are we ignoring the real benefit of these guideposts
and aids to our ongoing quest for holiness?
Without going into explanations showing
how liturgical practices developed, perhaps
we should attempt to look out what underlies the visible signs in the living liturgy.
We need to discover the soul in the body,
the hidden and spiritual in the external and
material.
Our guide for this study will be a work,
originally published in 1911, by Father Romano Guardini. His poetic wisdom about
the fundamental language of our Liturgy’s
symbols will inspire us to offer ourselves,
body and soul, more completely to the Lord.
