Tenth Sunday in Ordinary TimeJune 10, 2018

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;LORD, hear my voice!

—Psalm 130:1

PROMISESToday’s liturgy is full of promises. The reading from

Genesis promises a final triumph over the power of sin and a return to a new creation. The reading from Second Corinthians promises that all who follow Christ will have to struggle. It also promises, however, that we can persevere if we but recognize that Christ is within us, renewing us daily, and giving us the courage and the strength we need to endure. The Gospel promises that doing God’s will makes us “family” with Jesus, who forgives all sin and triumphs over evil.

Today might be a good day for us to make some promises as well. We can promise to stop kidding ourselves about our own tendencies to selfishness and sin. We can promise ourselves to believe—really believe—that while we are not sinless, we are forgiven. We can promise ourselves to combat evil and sin by acting as sisters and brothers not only to the Lord, but to one another as well.

Question of the WeekHow do I resist temptation? Does it help to focus on

the effects of allowing the Spirit to work through me?

Pastor’s NoteJune 10, 2018

10th Sunday in Ordinary Time Yr B

Our own struggle with the Evil One is not a metaphorical one. It is real and will last a lifetime. But in the Eucharist, here in the Mass we receive strength. The Eucharist is our supply depot, our headquarters, our arsenal and our strategic center. Here we receive the spiritual energy to go on the offensive, to leave our spiritual foxhole and push back the line of evil. Our gain is not measured in territory but in lives and souls. We have no uniform, no insigna. It is composed of all the baptized who hear God’s Word and keep it. We also have allies who may not be enlisted in our army but are on our side. Here at Mass we strengthen our membership in the army of the Risen Lord, the Mass is our assurance of final victory in Christ. Even though Christ will win the war, the battle for our individual soul is still undecided. The weapon Christ left us are more powerful than the weapons made by human hands. They are unmatched and liberating. We only have to trust. Blessings on you.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONThe cathedral is a treasure in a diocese and in our

tradition. It is not simply a “big church,” as some say; some parish churches are larger. What makes a

cathedral is the presence of the chair, called a cathedra (Latin for seat) reserved for the bishop.

There are many instances in our country of a local church (diocese) outgrowing a cathedral. In Baltimore and St. Louis, the former cathedrals are historic treasures in the heart of the old city, but new and larger structures now function as the seat of the bishop.

When a bishop dies or retires, it is said that “the seat is vacant,” and when the new bishop is installed, the central ritual is the moment when the decree of the Holy Father is read and the new bishop is escorted to the cathedra. No one but the bishop sits in the cathedra during a ritual, but in Los Angeles the cathedra in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is accessible, and no one seems to mind when a visitor tries the cathedra out for the bishop’s point of view.
