Week of March 2, 2025

1) Ash Wednesday

As we start the great season of Lent on Wednesday, consider joining us at one of our three masses scheduled for Ash Wednesday.

While Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, many like to attend mass on this day as a great way to jumpstart their Lenten journey.

Our Mass schedule for Ash Wednesday is as follows:

Masses:

7 AM

12 PM

7 PM

Please note that there will NOT be a 6:00 PM mass on Ash Wednesday. The only evening mass will be at 7:00 PM.

The Church will be open for private prayer and reflection beginning at 10 AM until the start of the 7 PM Mass. Handouts with the readings of the day and for private reflection will be available. Visitors will then be able to receive ashes from one of the priests or deacons who will be present.

We will also be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation from 5:00 PM until 6:50 PM.

2) Ash Wednesday Fasting and Abstinence Obligation:

Please remember that Ash Wednesday is also a day of fasting and abstinence. Those who are 14 years old and older are obliged to abstain. The fasting obligation is obligatory for persons age 18 until and including their 59th birthday.

3) How to Lent

4) An Update on Pope Francis

As many know from the news, Pope Francis continues to remain hospitalized with double pneumonia and other serious health issues. Below is the update given a few hours ago.

Please offer up a prayer or a rosary for our Holy Father.

Blessed Solanus Casey, pray for him!

In Christ,

Msgr. Mike

By Vatican News

On Sunday morning the Holy See Press Office reported that, "the Pope is still resting following a peaceful night." 

Pope Francis later had breakfast, coffee, and read the newspapers.

Speaking to journalists just after 12 pm, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, confirmed that the Pope received Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and the Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, who came for a visit.

Yesterday evening the Press Office informed journalists that the Pope's medical condition remained stable with respiratory physiotherapy alternating between non-invasive mechanical ventilation and long periods of supplemental high-flow oxygenation with a good response to gas exchange. It added that the prognosis still remains guarded.

The statement yesterday evening also noted that the Pope does not have a fever or show signs of leukocytosis (high white blood cell count). It added that the Pope remains alert, oriented and in good humour.

6) Archbishop Weisenburger

From Detroit Catholic: TUCSON — Priests, bishops and lay leaders across the Southwest attest to Archbishop-designate Edward J. Weisenburger’s synodal approach to leading the Church in Tucson, Arizona.

Archbishop-designate Weisenburger has a history of building relationships with diverse faith communities, collaborating with other Catholic bishops on pastoral priorities related to the common good and care for the vulnerable, and intently listening to priests, lay leaders and experts while discerning the good of the Church.

On Feb. 11, Pope Francis appointed Archbishop-designate Weisenburger, who has served as Tucson's bishop since 2017, as Detroit's sixth archbishop. He will be installed on March 18.

Detroit's future shepherd is known as a leader who listens, empathizes with people and communicates the reasoning behind his decisions, said Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the metropolitan of the Santa Fe ecclesiastical province, which includes the Diocese of Tucson.

“Archbishop Weisenburger's style kind of coincides nicely to Pope Francis' synodal vision for the Church,” Archbishop Wester told Detroit Catholic in a phone interview. “Archbishop Weisenburger always wants to know what people are saying, what the priests are saying, what the deacons and their wives are saying, and what the religious and the lay faithful are saying. He listens to them, discerns their input and discerns what the Holy Spirit is saying.”

When the bishops of the Southwest get together to discuss the Church’s priorities, particularly the plight of migrants and immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and the work of various Catholic organizations to resettle immigrants, Archbishop-designate Weisenburger always feels it is important to frame the Church’s position in the Gospel's care for the vulnerable, Archbishop Wester said.

“In our meetings, it is very clear he’s concerned with unity,” Archbishop Wester said. “Unity has always been close to Archbishop Weisenburger’s heart, that sense of people coming together and breaking down the walls of division. When issues came up in the province or in the Church in the United States, he always attends those issues with a sense of how we can work together, how we help others, and how we come together in the community.”

9) Need a Lenten Challenge? Here Are 25 Things to Give Up for Lent in 2025

From Churchpop.com: Lent begins on Wed., March 5, 2025. Have you thought about what you’re doing for Lent?

Here’s a list of challenges for the Lenten season that might help you deeply ponder this season's purpose.                      

1) Sweet treats. 

This one may sound simple, but it's often the hardest to give up. With the rise of the "sweet treat" trend, getting hooked is easy. This Lent, challenge yourself to go beyond just one type of sugary snack and give them all up.  

2) Clean out your closet. 

Lent is a great opportunity to donate to your local charities and a chance for you to make space in your closet and heart for the Lenten season. Plus, it might be the perfect time to let your sister borrow that one shirt of yours she’s been begging to wear.   

 3) Give up Meat throughout Lent.

Instead of waiting to abstain from meat until Friday, try restricting yourself completely from it for 40 days.  

4) Complaining.  

Challenge yourself to do it anyway, without finding excuses. If you want to take the extra step, put a dollar in a jar and donate it to charity every time you fail by the end of Lent.  

5) Wastefulness.  

Whether it's food, garbage, or gas, we tend to waste many resources readily available to us. Let us be mindful of what we use and only take what we need. Try walking or riding a bike to places you usually drive. Think about using reusable bags or containers when storing food or grocery shopping. 

6) Listening to your favorite artist. 

Take a break from listening to artists we might unknowingly idolize. Try listening to something that draws your attention towards Christ and away from those who may hinder growth in your faith.  

7) Oversleeping.

Some days we fall into the habit of waking up at our leisure. This Lent, make a point to set an alarm and be disciplined about waking up at the same time each day. 

8) Spending money on unnecessary items. 

A good trick for Lent might be to delete Apple Pay and the cards in your online wallet. The impulse buying will subside. 

9) Excessive talking.  

Challenge yourself to communicate more effectively by using fewer words. This will open space for others to share thoughts or opinions. This might give you a chance to restrict yourself on using filler words such as “umm" and “like.”

16) This Sunday's Readings: March 2, 2025 - The Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

17) Sunday Reflections by Jeff Cavins

The Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jeff Cavins reflects on the readings for the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time:

First Reading: Sirach 27:4-7

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 92:2-3, 13-14, 15-16

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:54-58

Gospel: Luke 6:39-45

18) Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

The Revolution of the Resurrection

Friends, for this Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Church gives us the opportunity, in our second reading from 1 Corinthians 15, to reflect on the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It was the Resurrection that Paul correctly took as the hinge, the central teaching, of Christianity. But what do we mean by “Resurrection”? How do we theologize about it?

19) Grow+Go

Grow+Go, content is designed to help you understand what it means to be an evangelizing disciple of Christ. Using the Sunday Scriptures as the basis for reflection, Grow+Go offers insight into how we can all more fully GROW as disciples and then GO evangelize, fulfilling Christ's Great Commission to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) The concept behind the weekly series is to make discipleship and evangelization simple, concrete, and relatable.

21) TALLer Tales

Not Ready for Prime Time … YET: Last weekend, I decided that since I was feeling pretty good, I could get over to Church. I’d help with confessions and then try to celebrate the 6:00 p.m. Mass. I made the “announcement” to family and staff, and since I didn’t get much flak, I thought it must have been a good idea. Or, in retrospect, I think I had a bad case of selective hearing that weekend.

Saturday started well. I got ready and put on my clerical attire for only the second time in a month. At the appointed time, my Uber driver (let’s call him Kevin) arrived and helped pack me up with all my “stuff” for the short ride to Church. When we got to the door, several parishioners offered to help unpack the Monsignor and get him into position. I only worried about moving fast enough to avoid “colliding” with the funeral procession about to exit. I was warmly greeted by those in the confession line but quickly learned I couldn’t take my hands off my knee scooter to say hello—even for a nanosecond—without losing balance. I plopped into my chair, propped up my foot, and started hearing confessions.

Afterward, Kevin, Ken, and Father Bob helped pack me up and delivered me back home. I was tired and knew I needed a break before the 6:00 p.m. Mass.

At 5:15, the entourage arrived to pack me up again. This time, my mom, Jackie, Lonnie, Kevin, and Barb were hovering around. The Monsignor was successfully packed, settled in the back of his “limousine,” and we made the short journey back to Church. At the doors, another entourage was ready to receive me. Help was everywhere. We strapped on my iWalk and began the trek to the Sacristy. I was already beat, and Mass hadn’t even started.

I appreciated everyone who wanted to greet me, but I just wanted to get to the Sacristy. Once inside, we decided I’d vest at the altar. With help from Fr. Bob, Kevin, and Frank, I got up to the altar, where we figured out how I’d sit, prop up my leg, and get comfortable for 90 minutes. Thanks to Sharon Ozark, I had a bar stool, and Father Bob found a box for my other foot to rest on.

Finally situated—but before vesting—I looked at my watch and thought, “YES … you better say something.” Everyone looked relieved I’d made it, but I knew I’d be in trouble if I didn’t speak up. With puppy-dog eyes, I hesitantly announced: “I hate to say this, but I have to go to the bathroom.” The LOOK on their faces was priceless. So, the now fully situated Monsignor had to reconnect his iWalk, carefully descend the sanctuary steps, and find the Sacristy bathroom. Within minutes, I re-emerged, and we began the process of getting me back to the altar. It was now five minutes before Mass.

I got my vestments on and pretended I was ready. I wasn’t feeling well, so I asked Father Bob for apple juice. I was thirsty but also lightheaded and needed the sugar. “I’m going to do this,” I kept saying.

Once Mass started, I thought, “I forgot to tell EVERYONE to keep their parts SHORT.” During the readings, my leg started feeling awkward. I moved things around, and the “sacred pillows” propping up my leg fell to the ground. Then I got a text from Kevin: “Is your leg bothering you? Do you need help?” I wanted to text back, “Is it THAT obvious? I thought I was faking it up here.” Kevin asked my mom, “Aren’t you afraid something will happen up there?” She laughed and replied, “Well, I guess if he passes out, we’ll know he probably shouldn’t have done this.” Little did they know …

After Mass, I couldn’t wait to be packed up and brought home. As I was leaving the Sacristy on my iWalk, a 97-year-old parishioner (let’s call her Marty, who shares my birthdate) shouted, “WHAT happened to your leg?” I turned, and she saw the rest of my leg behind me!

I finally made it home. A turtle with an iWalk would’ve beaten me upstairs. I reached my TV room, plopped into my chair, and got into my usual position with my elevated wedge and pillows. My toes were blue, and my foot was so swollen I could feel EVERY inch of my cast. But I did it! It was an accomplishment—sort of. Why? It taught me, after three days of recovery, that I wasn’t quite ready for “prime time” yet! Okay, I was crazy for thinking I could do this so soon!

Ash Wednesday: Wait a minute! Ash Wednesday? Already? Yes, folks, this coming Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. While it’s not a Holy Day of Obligation, we follow our holy day Mass schedule (except for the vigil Mass) because so many people like to begin their Lenten journey with the celebration of Mass. We will have Masses at 7:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m. Distribution of ashes will occur during each liturgy and throughout the day.

If you visit the Church during the day, you’ll be greeted by me, Fr. Bob, Fr. Rich, Deacon Tom, or Deacon Dom, who will be present for the distribution of ashes. We’ll also have flyers with the readings of the day and material for reflection to help you “kick start” your Lenten journey.

Please remember Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and abstinence. Those 14 years and older are obliged to abstain, and fasting is obligatory for persons aged 18 through 59.

Concerning fasting, here’s a blurb from one of my favorite Catholic websites, bustedhalo.com: “The Catholic Church, our Mother, His Body on earth, is a very wise mother. She knows we aren’t perfect. She knows we struggle. In her wisdom, she asks very little of us when it comes to fasting. The Church officially lays out for the rest of us mortals the minimum requirements that to fast one must be between the ages of 18 and 59 (inclusive) and that fasting involves taking only three meals a day. I guess Taco Bell’s ‘Fourth Meal’ is out. Those three, by the way, should include no meat and that two of the meals together not equal the size of one full meal. Oh the fun I’ve had with this one over the years. Apparently, it’s considered cheating when one’s full meal consists of seven courses. Oh, and the two, count ‘em, two days of fasting are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

“Most of us skip meals all the time. I think it’s only when discipline is attached that we really feel the pinch…. Trust me, it’s not as hard as we make it to be.”

Enjoy the week. Happy Lent! Know of my prayers!

In Christ,

22) Voiland's View

“Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9: 10).

Fear . . . the Lord? Time and again in Holy Scripture we are told to ‘fear the Lord’. In fact, one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is Fear of the Lord. So, if Jesus is the beloved Son of God – and “God is love,” as St. John says – what’s up with all of this fear stuff?

First, it is important to establish that there is reason, under certain circumstances, to be scared to death of God. God will not be blasphemed. He will not be ridiculed. He will not be played. He will not remain idle when his “little ones” are attacked and led away from him. He will not let evil, mean, hate-filled, people go unaccountable for their dark deeds. He allowed this once, when he walked this earth in the flesh, ministering to us, on the way to the cross of Calvary. He bore the despicable weight of our sinfulness by suffering under the venom of Satan in order to destroy him and his lying deceptions. But Christ reigns victorious now.

Our Lord God wields all power and is waiting patiently for the fulfillment of his will to be done on earth before he calls it all to a close. In that respect, he is keeping score. God monitors hate. And there will be a price to be paid for flaunting God’s will. Unbelievers reject the Lord’s truth at their own risk . . . and on reckoning day, it will be too late to change course. The fiery justice of God is something to be profoundly feared. But this is a kind of fear that any lowly human is capable of comprehending. It is a slavish kind of fear. It belongs to mean, nasty people who reject all things good. I shudder to think that anyone reading this article should be subject to such fear of the Lord. 

Yet, some might be struggling with this servile fear unnecessarily.

Many basically ‘good’ people labor under an oppressive fear of God. They see the Lord as an oppressive taskmaster who is constantly looking for another reason to beat them down. They think of God as anything but love. They fear him in a way that could never flower into “the beginning of wisdom.” They fear God in the way that they fear getting stung by a wasp, attacked by a mugger, or lost in a storm. They are constantly on edge, thinking God is looking for ways to trip them up instead of helping them to flourish. They are scared of the Lord. Their fear is dark.

Fear of the Lord, as a gift of the Holy Spirit, as the beginning of wisdom, is an awe-filled respect for the all-powerful – and loving – God. Healthy fear of the Lord casts out all scared feelings from our interactions with God when we realize that we are his children. God is our Father. Jesus is our brother. 

The Holy Spirit is our comforter and counselor. Why would there be any common fear in having such divine relationships? But, certainly, we can see where wisdom blossoms when we allow ourselves to enter into the wonder of a relationship with the Holy Trinity.

When we think about the immensity of the Lord God who created us and everything around us – throughout all time! – it should take our breath away. All by itself, what we know of God through our own human abilities should daze us. Pondering the wonders of nature around us is reason enough to be awestruck by God. But further, as God has chosen to reveal his divinity for us in Scripture, especially in the person of Jesus Christ, we can’t help but succumb to a little “fear.” It’s like standing next to a 3000-year-old Sequoia tree or peering over the edge of a 3000-foot cliff. Contemplating the awesomeness of God prompts a kind of frightened feeling in ones stomach. 

Fear of the Lord is unsettling. God is simply too big for us in every respect. We can stand before him or near him and he is overwhelming. Yet, he is not here to intimidate us. He is simply being who he is. He is like an adult to a toddler. God is quite imposing, but we know he is our God. The Lord is inviting and warm and gentle – but he’s just so BIG! That’s what fear of the Lord is about. It is not about being fearful. It is about feeling reverence and awe.

Having reverence for Jesus Christ, the Lord of lords, is a positive pathway to follow for us who is seek wisdom. Wisdom and truth are interdependent. God is the very source of Truth. Truth reaches its fullest expression in Christ. To dismiss Christ, the Son of God, as irrelevant is the opposite of a virtuous fear of the Lord . In such a case, we humans personally become supremely relevant by default. Given the track record of humanity over time, we have demonstrated that we don’t make the wisest decisions when we neglect to make God’s will a part of our plan. Better to fear the Lord who loves us like a Father . . . because he is our Father and he does love us!

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Bob

23) Ascension Presents: Father Mike Schmitz

"Can I Go to the Wedding?" Answered

If you're Catholic, you're probably aware that not every wedding is the same in the eyes of the Church. You may have heard of situations—or been in ones yourself—where you're not sure if it's okay for you, as a practicing Catholic, to attend such a wedding. How do you know when it's okay and when it's not okay?

24) Words on the Word: March 2 2025 - Wooden Beam

Anyone who has been around youth sports knows the emotions run high and the opinions flow freely.

And the older the kids get, the more significant the issues become.

The Detroit News reported a few weeks ago on the continuing fallout over a firing that took place several years ago in the Grosse Pointe school system. Back in 2018, a high school football and baseball coach was fired over several issues. The situation, according to the story, came up again in the court of public opinion recently when an independent investigator’s report detailed related complaints against a then-member of the school board and continuing ill-will and personnel ramifications.

It's the kind of mess that, clearly, made a significant impact at the time and continues to ripple through the community.

And so, it should come as no surprise that comments surrounding the story were sure to include plenty of opinions. Some of them, perhaps, were the well-informed opinions of people who were involved at the time or continue to be now.

Others, most likely, were the knee-jerk reactions of people who know absolutely nothing of the details and simply believe they should be heard.

Regardless of that, and without wading into the particulars of the matter now, it’s instructive for everyone to take heed of Jesus’ direction in today’s gospel passage from St. Luke.

“Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own,” Jesus asks. “How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?

“You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.”
