Class Notes Spring 2014

Last August 8 members of the St.Mary’s faculty gathered for a Mass at

which we remember Father RaymondBrown, S.S. on the fifteenth anniversaryof his death. At the time of the homilywe remembered Ray’s continuing influ-ence, not only in the national and inter-national arenas, but also at St. Mary’s,his alma mater.

We recalled the students whom hetaught and inspired from 1960 until1971. As priests they continue to beproclaimers of God’s word. In particular,we remembered Ray’s teaching andencouragement of alumni who havebecome biblical scholars in their ownright, including Fathers John Kselman,S.S., Michael Barré, S.S. and RonaldWitherup, S.S.

After Mass we visited The Raymond E. Brown Library collection which Ray left to St.Mary’s and which continues to grow through a generous bequest from Ray.

Finally, we celebrated The Raymond E. Brown Chair, a gift from the U.S. Province ofthe Society of St. Sulpice that is presently held by Professor Michael Gorman. Theholder of the chair is given time for research in the area of the New Testament so thatthe tradition of publication that played such an important part of Ray’s life might con-tinue. In November, 2013 Professor Gorman helped organize a symposium on theGospel of John that also honored Ray.

At that August anniversary Eucharist, we remembered that Ray combined the best ofbeing a believer and churchman with the best of biblical scholarship. May his memo-ry continue to be held in great esteem.

On November 20-22, 2013, St. Mary’s hosted and co-spon-sored a conference entitled “John, Jesus, and History: Engagingthe Legacies of C.H. Dodd and Raymond E. Brown.” A dozenscholars of international repute made presentations, and morethan 100 others attended.

On the second evening of the conference, a panel of scholars,including some who had been Fr. Brown’s students, paid trib-ute to the legendary Sulpician New Testament scholar. Fr.Hurst, who was one of those students, began with an introduc-tion to Fr. Brown and his legacy at St. Mary’s: the Raymond E.Brown Center and collection in the Knott Library and, thanksto the Sulpician fathers, the Raymond E. Brown chair in bibli-cal studies and theology.

Two of Fr. Brown’s doctoral students at Union Seminary, Dr.Craig Koester (Luther Seminary) and Dr. Sandra M.Schneiders, I.H.M., (emerita, the Jesuit School of Theology),reminisced about their teacher as mentor, scholar, friend, andecumenist. In addition, Dr. Paul Anderson (George FoxUniversity), Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles (Perkins School ofTheology), and Dr. Michael Gorman (current holder of theBrown chair), spoke about the powerful influence Fr. Brownhad on them even though they had not been his students. Dr.Anderson referred to him as the most significant NewTestament scholar of the 20th century.

A common theme in all of the presentations was the way inwhich Fr. Brown was a positive role model of serious scholar-ship for both church and academy, and how deeply he wasrespected by people of differing religious traditions.

Dr. Craig Koester of Luther Seminary, one of theConference committee members, reminisced about hisformer professor, Raymond E. Brown, S.S.

Alumni Day October 17, 2013

Keynote Presentation

The Sulpicians were founded by Father Olier at a critical momentin the life of the church in France. It was a time much in need ofa “new evangelization.” After the wars of religion, people hadbecome cynical about any religion and the practice of the faith haddropped dramatically. Under the spiritual direction of St. Vincentde Paul, Fr. Olier spent the first eight years of his ministry preach-ing missions throughout the French countryside with considerablesuccess in the project of reawakening the faith. However, it seemsthat after the evangelizing team of priests left town, within a fewmonths old habits had returnedbecause the local clergy werenot capable of continuing theeffort. This was what pushedhim to found a program ofpriestly formation. He realizedthat the task of reforming thechurch could not really takehold without first reforming theclergy. He had a series of priori-ties concerning how to go aboutthis daunting task. Those prior-ities were well suited for the sev-enteenth century’s new evange-lization, and I believe they arestill very fruitful for our ownproject of proclaiming the goodnews. The way of using themhas evolved, but the same prin-ciples are always at work, and Iam convinced that they are inline with the project of our newevangelization.

1. A commitment to the priesthood. This seems obvious as apriority in seminary formation. Fr. Olier had a fervent desireto call priests to live up to the dignity of their calling and hesaw the heart of their ministry in the work of calling peopleto faith. In his post synodal apostolic exhortation, EvangeliiNuntiandi, Pope Paul VI said, “We have a greater need ofwitnesses than of masters.” And I believe that this is whatwe are still trying to form: priests after the heart of Christthe Good Shepherd, reaching out to people where they are.

We want the seminarians to know the importance of thepriesthood in the life of the church and the dignity of thisoffice. We also want to encourage them to be examples ofcommitment to the values of the Gospel.

2. An emphasis on spiritual formation. Fr. Olier was convincedthat a good theological education was essential for thosecalled to awaken faith in others, but he was equally con-vinced that spiritual formation was at the heart of priestlyformation. What he wanted most of all was that seminari-

ans, who were often pushedby their family into the clergy,make a free choice for thisvocation. Those who arecalled to bear witness to thetruth of the Gospel cannot beeffective evangelizers if whatthey are really looking for is acareer. As Fr. Olier put it,“They must enter by the doorof vocation.” A life of prayerand a good experience of spir-itual direction, conducted inas safe and free an environ-ment as possible could makethis hope a reality. Humanmotivation is always mixed,but spiritual direction canhelp to purify it. And for thatto happen, seminarians mustknow that they can speakfreely with a spiritual directorthey have chosen and whomthey can trust.

3. The creation of formation community. From the beginning,Fr. Olier wanted priests and seminarians to share a commonlife. He was convinced that the best way to form futurepriests is to invite them to come and live with priests who aretrying to be good and faithful ministers of the Gospel and ofthe life of faith.

4. The exercise of collegiality. This is certainly an area that hasalways been present in Sulpician practice, based on the con-viction that the wisdom of a group of dedicated priests is

wiser than the wisdom of any one individual. This priorityin Sulpician methods of formation is no less prominent intoday’s Sulpician seminaries, but it has expanded in impor-tant ways. The process of discerning vocations has becomemuch more comprehensive and inclusive, thanks to the pas-toral assignments and internships that seminarians experi-ence. The evaluations given by pastoral supervisors andteams of parishioners help seminarians gain greater insightinto their strengths as well as areas for further growth. Theyalso help them to set appropriate goals for their continuingformation in the seminary and beyond. Moreover, they givethe people of God a voice in the formation process, so thatthe applause given at their ordination is more than a gesture.What is even more important is that the ordained cannot dothis work of evangelization alone. Learning the skills to

work with others in a team effort will be much more effec-tive in spreading the Gospel than trying to do this alone.

5. The cultivation of an apostolic spirit. When Fr. Olier builtthe first seminary in France, he commissioned the bestknown artist in the country to produce a painting of thePentecost. He chose this subject because he saw this event,the sending of the Spirit, as the birth of the Church’s mis-sion, the sending forth of the disciples of Jesus in the powerof the Spirit to proclaim the good news. He wanted thisimage to be always before the seminarians in the chapel ofthe seminary. Moreover, from the beginning of the semi-nary’s existence, the students assisted with the Liturgy in theparish of St. Sulpice and with formation in the faith foradults and children. In the last half century such pastoralexperience has been much expanded in seminaries, becausewe are convinced that seminarians develop an apostolic spir-it, a zeal for proclaiming the truth and power of the Gospel,precisely by proclaiming the truth and power of the Gospelin their words and in their deeds of pastoral ministry as partof their formation program. I am pleased to be able to saythat in the four years and a few months that I have beenworking in this seminary, I have heard our deacons preach atMass and our third year students preach at evening prayer ona regular basis, and I have never heard a homily or reflectionthat would make me feel embarrassed to say, “We had a partin his formation.” I do truly believe that the men, who walkout the front door at the end of their time of formation here,have taken to heart the words inscribed over that front door:“Go teach all nations,” and I am equally convinced that Godwill bring forth good fruit from their ministry. May He blessthese generous men who have chosen to follow the Lord inan apostolic ministry and may He bless the work of this for-mation faculty as they strive to live out their priesthood in aworthy manner, and may we be effective in helping our sem-inarians to follow the Lord more closely and become shep-herds after the heart of Christ.
