GLIMPSES OF VENERABLE
BISHOP BARAGA…
“For the last four months I have been una-
ble to say Mass; but I will use all my
strength to read Mass on Holy Thusday
and to consecrate the Holy Oils.” Bishop
Frederic Baraga, 1867
2 WELCOME TO ST. MARY & ST. JOSEPH
CD OF THE MONTH: By Dr. Scott Hahn
Available on the Lighthouse Catholic Media Kiosk
Located in the back of Church.
Spoken as He suffered the agony of the cross, the seven last
sayings of Christ recorded in the gospels
have been the subject of prayer and in-
quiry by Christians for two thousand
years. In this revealing presentation, Dr.
Scott Hahn unlocks for us the deeper sig-
nificance of Our Lord's last words, care-
fully chosen so that we might better un-
derstand the immense love of God for every person and His
plan of salvation. Learn how Jesus' words are as profound
and gripping today as when He uttered them on that first
Good Friday.

BECOMING SAINTS What is a saint? In a general sense, a saint is anyone who
has lived a holy life and now is in the presence of God in
heaven. Saints enjoy Beatific Vision (that is, the face-to-face
experience of the presence of God). This is the purpose for
which we were created: to share fully in the life of God.
Sainthood is not a special privilege for a few; it is the
baptismal call of all who believe in God. We were creat-
ed to become nothing less than saints, and it’s not im-
possible. It’s definitely within our reach if we desire it. St.
Paul used the term “saint” to refer to all the Christian faith-
ful (II Cor. 13:12, Eph. 1:1--the New American Bible trans-
lates it as “all the holy ones”). For those who are still on our
pilgrim journey in this life, we might best call ourselves
“saints in the making” or “saints in progress!” Matthew Kelly,
in his book The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic describes it
as becoming “The best version of ourselves”—which is very
accessible to ordinary people! In this way we become per-
fect Christians. Again, St. Paul says, “We know that in eve-
rything God works for good with those who love
him” (Romans 8:28-30). Saints come from all walks of life
and provide many examples of following Christ based on
their different responses to the various challenges in their
lives. The saints are examples of what the grace of God
can do when we turn our life over to God and let him be
Lord of our life. As Catholics, our devotion to the saints
flows out of our belief in what we call the “Communion of
Saints”. When we pray the Apostles’ Creed, which express-
es our basic Christian beliefs, we express our belief in this
“Communion of Saints” (here the term “saints” is used in its
more general sense). This means we believe that death
does not break the bonds that tie us to one another. We
believe that “love is stronger than death” (Song of Songs
8:6). A spiritual union exists between us--those here still in
this life and those who have been received into union with
God or soon will be in union with God. Without saints, sanc-
tity could be viewed as a mere abstraction, something too
lofty for mere mortals to attain. The training ground of her-
oism, as in the lives of saints, is the practice of simple virtues
in everyday life. What virtue can you practice in your dai-
ly life this week? Remember what you were made for.
Strive for nothing less.
Matthew Kelly, Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic.
