THE YEAR OF ST. PAUL “A special year will be dedicated for the Bimillennium Celebrations of the Birth of the
Apostle Paul. This Pauline Year will run from June 28, 2008 to June 29, 2009” Pope Benedict XVI We will celebrate this Pauline Year with a Parish Mission March 7 – 11. It will be facilitated by Father Rick Walsh – a member of the Paulist Community in Toronto. Conversion The Acts of the Apostles quote the famous phrase heard on the way to Damascus: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Acts 9:4).
The story that Paul himself recounts about the apparition of the Risen Lord betrays a great interior turmoil, according to the prophetic vocations of the Old Testament, which always announced a mission: “But when (God), who from my mother’s womb had set me apart and called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles…”(Gal 1:15-17). The radical “conversion” of Saul did not represent for him a change of religion: he felt more than ever before to be a Jew, because the “God of our Fathers” was sending him to spread the Gospel. The evangelizer of the pagans continued to preach to the Jews as much as he could, up to his final appeal to Rome. Paul’s conversion and baptism meant that he had discovered his true and proper place in the life of Israel. The date of this most important event is ignored; the Letter of the Galations may seem to indicate the years 33-35, a short time after the establishment of the first Church in Jerusalem, created around “Peter with the Eleven” (Acts 2:14). (continued next week)
ST. FRANCIS XAVIER BOOK CLUB: Once again, Derek Lennox and Heidi Robinson will be leading the Monday night book club. We are hoping hoping that our regular members will once again attend and that many new members will join us. The book we will be reading is called called “My Jesus Year”, by Benyamin Cohen, a hilarious, inspirational exploration of Christianity from the son of an orthodox rabbi. rabbi. The book is part memoir, part spiri year--long exploration, Cohen sees spiritual quest, and part anthropologist’s mission. During his year the best and worst of Christianity – from megachurches to storefront churches; from the profound to the profane to the just plain laughable. By year’s end, to Cohen’s Cohen’s surprise, his search for universal answers and truths in the Bible Belt actually make him a better Jew.
