LOVE AND SIN These two seem an odd pairing, a doubtful duo. Yet love and sin are bound together in the Bible readings today. Great love leads to forgiveness. And forgiveness leads to greater love. Look to King David who had a husband killed so he could take the wife. Look to the Apostle Paul who was drawn away from persecuting others by the love of the Son. Look to the unnamed weeping woman who bathed and anointed feet. Because of sorrow. Because of forgiveness. Because of great love. • Who has forgiven me? What happened next? • Who needs my forgiveness? • And how does my forgiveness mirror God’s forgiveness – of me, of others, and of all? The late Father Clarence Rivers (1931-2004), a priest of Cincinnati, sings of this great love.

HOLY FATHER’S JUNE INTENTIONS Universal: Respect for Women That in every country of the world, women may be honored and respected and that their essential contribution to society may be highly esteemed. Evangelization: Holy Rosary That families, communities, and groups may pray the Holy Rosary for evangelization and peace. ST. COLUMBKILLE The Church’s Dove: June 9, 1866~June 9, 2016 150 Years of Handing on the Faith ~~ August 27, 1916 “…Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” – Ephesians 2:20a-22 By summer, the foundation was laid. “It was the day of days with the congregation of a Catholic Church that has labored long toward this end – the erection of a house of worship that would stand for years as a tribute to the One in whose name it was dedicated… the cornerstone of Wilmington’s newest temple to the Master was laid, and in a way that could not have helped but be pleasing to Him.” The Rev. George Meyerhofer of Hamilton as the officiating priest with the assistance of William Miller of the Western Building Co. of Buffalo, NY, contractors on the new church, swung the stone into place. Its receptacle contains the official attest of the cornerstone laying; a list of old pastors; a picture of the old church; old coins taken from the old cornerstone, and coins of the present year; a five-dollar U.S. currency note signed in 1872 by Matthew Rombach and W.J. Denver, Jr.; a five-dollar currency note signed by Matthew Denver; a copy of the first page of the Democrat, the JournalRepublican, the Daily News, the Sunday Visitor and the Catholic Telegraph. Fr. John Hickey, of Holy Name Church, Cincinnati, (a known orator of the day) gave the dedicatory address speaking of “the temples of old, he showed wherein each was consecrated to the work of one Divine Power.” It was noted later in the press that “when completed, [it] will be one of the most substantial improvements that Wilmington has had in years, and will place the Catholic people in a position where they may point with pride to their church building as one of the most perfect in the entire country.” Sadly, on September 26, 1916, one month after the laying of the cornerstone, The Journal Republican announced the death of Reverend Fr. Martin A. Higgins, in Seton Hospital, having never been able to return to Wilmington to see fulfilled his dream and the great work he had begun.

[Researched, transcribed and edited for brevity by Carolyn Cervantes Warner] ROSARY CORNER “In the presence of a repentant people, God’s justice is transformed into mercy and forgiveness. This challenges us by inviting us to make room for this same inner attitude. To become merciful, we must first acknowledge that we have done many things wrong: we are sinners! We need to know how to say: ‘Lord, I am ashamed of what I have done in life’. If we act in this way, how many good things will follow. With this attitude of repentance we will be more capable of being merciful, because we feel God’s mercy for us.” — Pope Francis LOVE CAN MAKE THE “UNWANTED CHILD” WANTED! “One hundred fifty years ago, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring that slaves held in Confederate territory were free men and women. One hundred fifty years later, children in every part of the country still face the degradation and hopelessness of the practice President Lincoln sought to end.....For the last 40 years and even earlier in some states, many of our judges and lawmakers have treated people like property. They’ve held babies in the womb to be like chattel, possessions to be discarded or destroyed, with their mothers cast as owners. These officials, along with the abortion industry itself, feign ignorance of the unborn child’s humanity. We can’t stop all evil in this fallen world, but we can fight it in our own neck of the woods with love. Love never ends. Love can save lives. Love declares that there is no such thing as an unwanted child. With love, children are adopted, not aborted. With love, children are cherished, not abused. With love, there is less room for the oppressor because his hunting grounds are smaller. We simply need to see no child as unwanted. And it can start with just one. One life loved can make all the difference. After all, “one life changed the entire world.” Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. King. Alveda King is a leading Pro-Life voice who formerly had two abortions before having a faith conversion 50% TUITION SCHOLARSHIP FOR ALL LAY STUDENTS AT THE ATHENAEUM The Athenaeum, the Archdiocesan seminary and school of theology, announces a 50% lay tuition scholarship as part of our One Faith, One Hope Capital Campaign commitment.

FEASTS CELEBRATED THIS WEEK June 12 – Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Luke 7:36–8:3: In today’s gospel, we read of a woman who understands how much she’s been forgiven and as a result, gives of herself wholeheartedly to the One who has forgiven her. The parable Jesus shares with the Pharisee illustrates the same. Most in the house, including the Pharisee, see the woman only as a sinner but Jesus saw a repentant woman filled with great love and thanksgiving. How do we see ourselves and others we encounter daily? Is our lens one of judgment or grace and mercy? In this Year of Mercy, let us commit to seeing ourselves and those we minister to, on level ground before the cross. Prayer: Lord, help us this week to begin to comprehend how much you’ve forgiven us. Thank You for your unfailing grace and mercy. June 13 – St. Anthony of Padua, Priest & Doctor of the Church (1195-1231) A member of a noble Portuguese family, St. Anthony joined the Augustinians at a young age, but later joined the Franciscans to engage in missionary work. Although his missionary dreams were cut short due to illness, he received public acclaim for his preaching style, which led to the conversion of many. People began to call him “Hammer of the Heretics.” His writing is extensive, and we still have many of his sermons.
