THE R EADINGS FOR THIS WEEK
The Pastor’s
Corner
Why Pray the Stations of the Cross?
Eight Reasons from Pope Francis
The Stations of the Cross are an ancient tradition in the Catholic
Church going back to the fourth century when Christians went
on pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Like many of our Catholic traditions, the Stations of the
Cross can be rich, deep, and meaningful, but at the same time we
can lose sight of their significance and how to relate them to our
everyday lives.
Continuing the idea of Pope Francis as our spiritual director
this Lent, here are eight reasons from our Holy Father on why we
should pray the Stations of the Cross.
1. THEY ALLOW US TO PLACE OUR TRUST IN HIM.
2. THEY PUT US INTO THE STORY.
3. THEY REMIND US THAT JESUS SUFFERS WITH US.
4. THEY COMPEL US TO ACTION.
5. THEY HELP US MAKE A DECISION FOR OR
AGAINST CHRIST.
6. THEY REVEAL GOD’S RESPONSE TO EVIL IN
THE WORLD.
7. THEY GIVE US THE CERTAINTY OF GOD’S LOVE
FOR US.
8. THEY GUIDE US FROM THE CROSS TO
THE RESURRECTION.
“O, Our Jesus, guide us from the Cross to the resurrection and
teach us that evil shall not have the last word, but love, mercy
and forgiveness. O Christ, help us to exclaim again: ‘Yesterday I
was crucified with Christ; today I am glorified with Him.
Yesterday I died with Him, today I live with Him. Yesterday I
was buried with Him, today I am raised with Him.’”
– Pope Francis, Good Friday Address, April 18, 2014
Let us follow the words of the Holy Father and make the most of
this opportunity to draw ourselves closer to Our Lord and the
Savior of the world.
Amen? Amen!
An In-tents Experience
Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18
Philippians 3:17—4:1
Psalm 27:1, 7-9, 13-14
Luke 9:28-36
“I am talking about those who are set upon the things of
this world.” – Philippians 3:19
During their forty years in the desert, God accompanied
the Israelites, dwelling in a tent called the Meeting Tent
(see Ex 40:2). When it was time to journey on, the Lord
rose in a cloud which hovered over the Meeting Tent.
When the cloud moved, the people packed up the Meeting
Tent and followed the cloud. When the cloud stopped, the
people pitched the Meeting Tent, and God descended from
the cloud to dwell in the Tent in the midst of the people
(Ex 40:34-38).
God’s sacred presence on Mount Horeb (Sinai)
prefigures His presence on Transfiguration Mountain (Ex
24:15; Lk 9:29, 35); so also does the cloud in the Meeting
Tent prefigure the sacred presence of God at the Transfiguration (Ex 40:34ff; Lk 9:34). The Old Covenant, represented
by Moses and Elijah (the law and the prophets), joins
the New Covenant, that is, Jesus and the apostles. Though
Peter wants to erect three tents, he did not need a tent to
enter the Presence of God; he was already standing in the
Presence of God inside the new transfigured Meeting
Tent and cloud. Standing with their feet on the earth and
their heads in God’s Presence, the apostles’ minds were no
longer set upon the things of the world (see Phil 3:19).
At each Mass we attend, we are like the apostles on
Transfiguration Mountain. Our feet stand on earth, but
the Lord comes down from heaven in the Eucharist. At
Mass, we are partly in heaven and partly on earth. Attend
Mass daily, or as often as possible, and “be intent on
things above rather than on things of earth” (Col 3:2).
• Prayer: Father, in this time of Lent, help me to focus on
heavenly things rather than on things of earth (Col 3:1ff;
Jn 3:1ff; Phil 3:19).
• Promise: “We have our citizenship in heaven.” – Phil 3:20
• Praise: Praise You, Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth!

KNOW YOUR SAINTS
St. Polycarp (d. 156)
CATECHESIS
(kat’i-ke’sis) n.
How many children should a
Christian married couple have?
A Christian married couple has as many children as God
gives them and as they can take responsibility for. [2373]
All children whom God sends are a grace and a great
blessing. That does not mean that a Christian couple is not
supposed to consider how many children they can raise
responsibly, given the health of each spouse and their
economic or social situation. When a child comes “nevertheless,” that child should be welcomed with joy and
willingness and accepted with great love. By trusting in
God, many Christian couples find the courage to have a
large family. (YOUCAT question 419)
Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna (modern Izmir, Turkey), disciple
of St. John the Apostle and friend of St. Ignatius of Antioch,
was a revered Christian leader during the first half of the
second century.
St. Ignatius, on his way to Rome to be martyred, visited
Polycarp at Smyrna, and later at Troas wrote him a personal
letter. The Asia Minor Churches recognized Polycarp’s
leadership by
choosing him as
a representative
to discuss with
Pope Anicetus
the date of the
Easter celebration in Rome—a major controversy in the early Church.
Only one of the many letters written by Polycarp has
been preserved, the one he wrote to the Church of Philippi in
Macedonia.
At 86, Polycarp was led into the crowded Smyrna
stadium to be burned alive. The flames did not harm him
and he was finally killed by a dagger. The centurion ordered
the saint’s body burned. The “Acts” of Polycarp’s martyrdom
are the earliest preserved, fully reliable account of a Christian
martyr’s death. He died in 156. – www.americancatholic.org
Participating in the Jubilee Year of Mercy
THIS WEEK, WE SHALL REFLECT ON THE SECOND CORPORAL WORK OF MERCY.
The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we should treat all others, as
if they were Christ in disguise. They “are charitable actions by which we help our neighbors in their bodily needs” (USCCB).
They respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together through this life.
GIVE DRINK TO THE THIRSTY
Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ do not have access to clean water and suffer from the lack of this basic necessity. We
should support the efforts of those working towards greater accessibility of this essential resource.
1 We take it for granted that we have access to clean water. Donate to help build wells for water for those in need.
1 Organize a group of children involved on a sports team (e.g., soccer) or a summer camp. Invite them to collect bottled water
to distribute at a shelter for families. If parents can be involved, ask them to accompany their children in delivering the water
to the families.
1 Do the same for youth and young adult groups.
1 Make an effort not to waste water. Remembering to turn off the water faucet when you are brushing your teeth or washing
dishes can help, especially in regions suffering from drought.

BELOVED CLASS: Our director of religious education,
Cody Egner, held his first Beloved class (photo, above) on Feb.
6. This class fulfills part of the marriage prep at St. Cecilia.
It is part of the new FORMED program that we are offering.
We treated the couples to lunch at Skyline, and it was nice
to talk to them and get to put names with faces. I can’t wait
for our future meetings to hear about what they thought of
the new class. What I heard at lunch was very positive, and I
feel blessed that Cody, his wife, Angela, and their assistants,
Ryan and Kristen Leep, newly married parishioners, could
offer such a program for our couples. 1 WELCOME,
CHILDREN OF GOD: Welcome to our newly baptized—
Amelia Rose Jessen, daughter of Anthony and Annie Jessen,
and Sarah Knox Bauer, daughter of Aaron and Melinda
Bauer (photos, below). 1 SMSJ CHILI BOWL: Some of
our parishioners participated in the St. Margaret-St. John
Chili Bowl last month. Parishioner Carolyn Cook won first
prize. Bob Ranz, also a St. Cecilia parishioner, came in third.
In 2nd place was Barb Ferrara of St. Margaret-St. John (photo,
bottom left). Great job, everyone! I can’t wait to have a taste of
these chilis someday. 1 REST IN PEACE: Joan Guntzelman
(photo, below) passed away Feb. 1. Joan graduated from St.
Mary’s High School in Cincinnati
in 1955 and then entered the Sisters
of Charity at Mt. St. Joseph. Her
brother was a son of the parish, Rev.
Louis J. Guntzelman. 1 VOLLEYBALL: Our annual volleyball game
(photo, below) was played on Friday,
Feb. 5. It was the closing event for
Catholic Schools Week. The game is
between the staff and 8th-grade
students. We
have a very
competitive
crew at our
school! This
is something I
look forward
to every year.
1 FR. STAN
NEIHEISEL,
REST IN PEACE:
Fr. Stan Neiheisel was a beloved pastor who lived 55 years as a
priest. He recently served as resident priest for the Archdiocese
of Cincinnati at St. Stephen Church
on Eastern Avenue. Prior to that, he
served as teacher, chaplain, principal
and pastor in Dayton, Middletown
and Cincinnati. Fr. Stan (photo, left)
was a wonderful man who had a gift
for making everyone feel included.
He was one of the first priests to welcome me as a newly ordained and
always had a smile on his face when
he greeted you. I will miss Fr. Stan.

SANCTUARY DEVOTIONAL CANDLE INTENTION: From Feb. 21-27, for Tensi Smith and Family by Emily & Jerry Davis
February Papal
Prayer Intentions
Each month, Pope Francis asks
Catholics to pray for special intentions.
For February, we pray that we may take
good care of creation—a gift freely
given—cultivating and protecting it for future generations. And that opportunities may increase for dialogue

So Why Latin? Part 3
God Speaks in Whispers
... and we live in a loud world. Hearing God’s voice amidst
the noise and busy-ness of our lives can be difficult. But He is
always there to guide and help us, and He has given us other
people and resources to help us, as well. If you think God
may be calling you to religious life and you need someone to
talk to, give us a call at 421.3131, ext. 2890.
Our Lady of Fatima Prayer Group
All are invited to pray the rosary for peace throughout our
world. Every Wednesday from 1–2 PM in the last two pews of
church.
Having recalled last week the history and tradition of Latin, we see that it can be a reminder of the sacredness of what
takes place at Mass. The Mass is supposed to have a sense of mystery. We can never fully comprehend what takes place in
the Eucharist.
Contrary to many beliefs, the Second Vatican Council did NOT abolish or discourage the use of Latin in preference
to the vernacular. According to the Constitution on the Liturgy, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved. Besides
the vernacular, “the faithful must also know how to say or sing, in Latin also, those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass
which pertain to them.” (Instruction on Music in the Sacred Liturgy, Sacred Congregation of Rites, 5 March 1967)
Obviously, the readings, homily and many of the prayers should be in English in order to be understandable. When
the bishops asked for the entire Mass in the vernacular, Pope Paul VI granted this, but continued to insist on the people
being able to pray the “ordinary parts” (that is, those that
remain the same in every Mass, such as “Kyrie,” “Gloria,”
“Credo,” “Sanctus,” “Pater Noster,” “Agnus Dei”) in Latin
according to the simple Gregorian chant modes.
Now that the faithful from different countries come
together ever more frequently through televised Masses
from around the world, it is important that we know how to
sing at least some parts of the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin
in order to promote unity among all Catholics. And since
music and singing have pride of place in the liturgy, it is important that the voices of the faithful be heard in the liturgical
actions themselves.
Finally, in an address tailored to the needs of the United States in 1998, St. Pope John Paul II summed up the position
of the Church. “The use of the vernacular has certainly opened up the treasures of the liturgy to all who take part, but
this does not mean that the Latin language, and especially the chants which are so superbly adapted to the genius of the
Roman Rite, should be wholly abandoned.”
Thus, from the Council to the present, the Magisterium of the Church has had the consistent intention to preserve
the use of Latin and Gregorian chant in the Mass, even when offered in the vernacular. To be continued...

Coming in April—The Prayer: Finding Intimacy With God Series
Though prayer is one of the essentials of a thriving faith, we often feel as if we’re talking to ourselves.
Or, worse, we’re talking to no one at all. How can something so vital to the faith be so elusive?
Now, with the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute’s Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray
masterfully uses the discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort
of love and intimacy. The program will begin on April 4 and is FREE.
For more info, to watch a video trailer on the series, or to register for the program, go to
www.stceciliacincinnati.org and click on the PRAYER link on the home page. Contact Cody Egner
at (513) 871-5757, ext. 215, or [email protected] with any questions.
