As we turned the calendar to February this past Wednesday, many of the romantics among us, began to make plans to celebrate Saint Valentine's Day with their significant other. The celebration of the feast of the priest and martyr, who died in 269, has become synonymous with romantic dinners and expressions of love.

As we make our Valentine's plans it is a good time to discuss the virtue of chastity and what living out that virtue means. Many people think that chastity is equivalent to abstinence. Many people when discussing chastity define it as abstinence from sexual acts for those who are unmarried. But chastity is much more than that. The Church considers chastity a virtue and a vocation.

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church we hear, "Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being. Sexuality, in which man's belonging to the bodily and biological world is expressed, becomes personal and truly human when it is integrated into the relationship of one person to another, in the complete and lifelong mutual gift of a man and a woman. The virtue of chastity therefore involves the integrity of the person and the integrality of the gift." (CCC #2337)

No matter our state of life - single, married, religious, or ordained - we are all called and asked to live chastity for our state of life. Living chastity is different in each state of life, but each of us is called to live with the integrity of the person and the integrality of the gift of self.

The integrity of the person includes a dedication to mastering our own passions, lusts, and desires. "Chastity includes an apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom. The alternative is clear: either man governs his passions and finds peace, or he lets himself be dominated by them and becomes unhappy. 'Man's dignity therefore requires him to act out of conscious and free choice, as moved and drawn in a personal way from within, and not by blind impulses in himself or by mere external constraint. Man gains such dignity when, ridding himself of all slavery to the passions, he presses forward to his goal by freely choosing what is good and, by his diligence and skill, effectively secures for himself the means suited to this end.'" (CCC #2339)

My 12 year old daughter has recently discovered boys and they have recently discovered her. It is a natural thing, yet for the father it sometimes leads to heart palpations. However, one of the things my wife and I have taught my daughter about relationships and chastity is that relationships begin in friendship and as we get to know the other person better and feel called to spend the rest of our life with one person the relationship culminates in a total giving of each other. The Church calls this the integrality of the gift of self.

"The virtue of chastity blossoms in friendship. It shows the disciple how to follow and imitate him who has chosen us as his friends, who has given himself totally to us and allows us to participate in his divine estate. Chastity is a promise of immortality. Chastity is expressed notably in friendship with one's neighbor... friendship represents a great good for all. It leads to spiritual communion." (CCC #2347)

Over the next few weeks we will discuss the following issues and their effects in our lives if we do not live the virtue and vocation of chastity: fornication, pornography, and prostitution.

VERY RARE AND PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT

The title of the new movie on 9/11 starring Tom Hanks, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, gave me two reasons to pause before writing this week's post on the death penalty.

The first reason for a pause, was if they had survived their criminal act, what should have been the punishment for Mohammed Atta and the 9/11 hijackers?

The second reason for a pause, was the final line of the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the death penalty. It is very similar to the title of Hanks' movie. "... The cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity 'are very rare, if not practically non-existent.'" (CCC #2267)

This paragraph of the Catechism will be the basis of this post. It is a question that is debated over and over again. What is the Catholic Church's teaching on the death penalty? The answer is very simple. The death penalty is only permitted if the identity and responsibility of the guilty party has been fully determined by authorities and it is "the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor." (CCC #2267) Defending here, would be defined as protecting human live.

The Catechism goes on to say that in today's society there are sufficient means "to defend and protect people's safety from the aggressor." (CCC #2267) Additionally, the Catechism teaches that today's society has the capabilities that allow a person who has committed a criminal act to redeem and rehabilitate himself.

Therefore it is the Church’s conclusion, "the cases in which the execution of the offender is an absolute necessity 'are very rare, if not practically non-existent.'" (CCC #2267)

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

In Congress, July 4, 1776. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." This is a direct quote from the Declaration of Independence.

The Forefathers of this country recognized that every person created by God has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that these rights are given to each person by God. Government's role is to assist the people in securing these rights.

However, in 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled that a right to privacy under the due process clause in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution extends to a woman's decision to have an abortion. The Supreme Court decision, on a right not recognized as one given by the Creator but by government, struck down any state and federal regulations against a mother's "right" to an abortion.

In this debate of rights it is imperative that we look not to the government, but what the Church teaches.

On the right to life: "Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life." (CCC #2270)

On the right to freedom and liberty: "Freedom is exercised in relationships between human beings. Every human person, created in the image of God, has the natural right to be recognized as a free and responsible being. All owe to each other this duty of respect. The right to the exercise of freedom, especially in moral and religious matters, is an inalienable requirement of the dignity of the human person. This right must be recognized and protected by civil authority..." (CCC #1738)

On the duties of political authorities: "Political authorities are obliged to respect the fundamental rights of the human person. They will dispense justice humanely by respecting the rights of everyone, especially of families and the disadvantaged." (CCC #2237)

Life Promise Prayer

In the name of the One God, ever living and life giving,
faithful and true, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I accept God's gift of life to me
     in the circumstances
     of my conception and birth,
     of my parents, of my family,
of all whosoever care for me or did me
harm in all the years that began the journey
of my life.
God who calls by name works all together for my good.
     I choose life.

I accept God's gift of life around me,
     the sacred treasure of each human life
     whether sister, brother, friend or stranger;
     however whole or broken, small or great,
     saint or sinner,
     rich or poor, ill or well, ally or enemy, or
     indifferent.

Each is crafted in God's image, to each is offered
Christ's redemption, in each moves the spirits blessing.
I choose life.

I accept God's gift of life in my times,
     in infant's cry, in childhood's wonder
     in trails of teen years and embrace of youth,
     in maturity's accomplishments and failures,
     in waning day's and night's negotiations.
Among the creatures with the breath of life within them,
God has placed the timeless in the human heart,
but not the reach to grasp or measure it.
     I choose life.

I accept God's gift of life in my dying,
in God's hands the shaping of the manner
by God's clock the counting of the hour.

May God who lays me down uphold me.
May Christ along the way companion me.
May spirit lift, and light billow me into the Resurrection.

God is life, and this I choose.

In the name of the One God, ever living and life giving,
faithful and true, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I WILL KEEP THEM FROM HARM AND INJUSTICE

Recently euthanasia and physician assisted suicide were in the news with the death of Dr. Jack Kevorkian in June. His defense attorney, Geoffrey Fieger said in reflecting upon Kevorkian's life that Kevorkian revolutionized the concept of suicide by working to help people end their own suffering, because he believed physicians are responsible for alleviating the suffering of patients, even if that meant allowing patients to die.

However, a document in the 6th century that doctors traditionally have recited lies in direct contrast to Kevorkian's view. The document is the Hippocratic Oath. In part it states, "I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art."

The Church has also spoken strongly against euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we hear, "Whatever its motives and means, direct euthanasia consists in putting an end to the lives of handicapped, sick, or dying persons. It is morally unacceptable.

Thus an act or omission which, of itself or by intention, causes death in order to eliminate suffering constitutes a murder gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator. The error of judgment into which one can fall in good faith does not change the nature of this murderous act, which must always be forbidden and excluded." (CCC #2277)

The Catechism further states, "Even if death is thought imminent, the ordinary care owed to a sick person cannot be legitimately interrupted." (CCC #2279)

PRO-LIFE, THE ECOLOGY OF THE HUMAN PERSON, AND THE SEAMLESS TUNIC

"When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, a share for each soldier. They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down. So they said to one another, 'Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be.'" (John 19:23-24)

As January begins, our attention turns to issues surrounding the protection of human life. Most notably, the issue of the protection of human life will culminate this month on January 23 with the 39th Annual March for Life.

Many will march on Washington on January 23 with only one life issue in mind. But, the Church insists that society must protect all human life from natural conception until natural death with the same vigor. Pope Benedict XVI calls this a human ecology.

In the Encyclical, Charity and Truth, Pope Benedict writes, "The decisive issue is the overall moral tenor of society. If there is a lack of respect for the right to life and to a natural death, if human conception, gestation and birth are made artificial, if human embryos are sacrificed to research, the conscience of society ends up losing the concept of human ecology... The book of nature is one and indivisible: it takes in not only the environment but also life, sexuality, marriage, the family, social relations: in a word, integral human development."

In fact, in a listing of its Life Principles the March for Life Education and Defense Fund includes these:

"The right to life of each human being shall be preserved and protected by every human being in the society and by the society as a whole, and
The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected from that human being's biological beginning when the Father's sperm fertilizes the Mother's ovum, and
The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected from the biological beginning throughout that natural continuum of that human being's life by all available ordinary means and reasonable efforts, and
The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected at each stage of the life continuum to the same extent as at each and every other stage regardless of the state of health or condition of dependency, and
The life of each human being shall be preserved and protected to the same extent as the life of each and every other human being regardless of state of health or condition of dependency..."

ON THE 8TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS...

We are not talking about Lords-a-leaping. However, I am sure that we are all familiar with the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. There are some who believe that the song was a catechism song created to teach important doctrines and beliefs during a time when Catholicism was illegal in England.

The Church does not celebrate the twelve days of Christmas. The liturgical calendar has the Christmas season beginning on December 25 and concluding with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. However, there is still an eight day celebration, known as the Christmas Octave that begins on December 25 and ends on January 1, the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God.

Why an Octave? An Octave is a period of eight days in which a feast of the Church is celebrated for the entire period as if the eight days were actually one. During the Christmas Octave many of the prayers in the Liturgy will speak of Christmas as happening "today." During the Christmas Octave there are two Holy Days of Obligation, the Solemnities of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) and Mary, the Mother of God, on January 1.

During the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord we celebrate when, "The Father's only Son, conceived as man in the womb of the Virgin Mary, is 'Christ,' that is to say, anointed by the Holy Spirit, from the beginning of his human existence, though the manifestation of this fact takes place only progressively: to the shepherds, to the magi, to John the Baptist, to the disciples. Thus the whole life of Jesus Christ will make manifest 'how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power.'" (CCC #486)

On January 1, the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, we celebrate how, "'...Holy Church honors the Blessed Mary, Mother of God, with a special love. She is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son. In her the Church admires and exalts the most excellent fruit of redemption and joyfully contemplates, as in a faultless image, that which she herself desires and hope wholly to be.'" (CCC #1172)

The Christmas Story

The prophets told the story
Before it ere occurred.
The angels came with gladness
To welcome Jesus' birth.

The promise of the ages,
The king from Bethlehem,
Entered in a manger
To a world of dour men.

The shepherds saw the glory
And heard the heavenly song
Of a promised new beginning
To which each one could belong.

Mary kept the treasure
Stored deep within her parts.
This knowledge of the Son of God
Would one day pierce her heart.

She gazed down at the baby,
The face of Him who is,
And reached her hand to touch Him.
Oh what present bliss!

Simeon long had waited.
He'd been told there'd be this day
When he'd see the little baby
And then he'd go away.

Anna saw Him present.
Great joy lept in her soul.
She told all who'd listen that
Redemption's cup was full.

Wise men saw the signal;
A star shown in the sky.
They travelled an epic journey
To see this One come nigh.

The reigning king did hate Him.
The priests didn't like the fuss.
Rachel's womb was weeping;
The sword, cruelty's thrust.

Another sword reached deeper;
The nails drove through the flesh.
The thrones were set to mock the crown.
The grave clothes were spiced fresh.

But the story was not over.
As if a second birth,
The angels announced with gladness
His rising from the earth.

And the story still continues.
He sits in heaven above,
Returning again to this earth
To complete His promised love.

The birth in Bethlehem's manger,
The cross on Calvary's hill,
Tells us God our great Creator
Has loved, yet loves us still.

- Tim Binder

Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

ALL SAINTS DAY: HONORING OUR HEROES

Many of you know that I am a huge Pittsburgh sports fan. I love my Steelers, Pirates, Panthers, and Dukes. That's why PNC Park is an awesome place. In so many ways the home of the Pirates celebrates the baseball heroes of not just the Pirates, but of Pittsburgh. Of course there are the statues of Bill Mazeroski, Honus Wagner, Robert Clemente, and Willie Stargell outside the stadium. But inside there are places that honor Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige of the Pittsburgh Crawfords, players from the Homestead Grays, and Pirates teams of the past.

The Church's celebration of All Saints Day is like a walk around and inside PNC Park. It is a Holy Day of Obligation in which we honor all of the heroes of our faith both known and unknown.

In the early Church there was a tradition in which the Christian faithful honored the martyrs of the faith on the anniversary of their martyrdom. Late in the Roman Empire, when Christians were persecuted the number of martyrs increased exponentially; therefore local Churches instituted a day to honor all martyrs.

The date of November 1 evolved over time. Church historians have given the opinion that originally the feast was celebrated during the Easter Season. Then in 609, May 13 was established as the feast day, after the Pantheon was given by the Emperor to Pope Boniface IV, who dedicated it to St. Mary and All Martyrs on May 13. Later, during his 10 year Pontificate, Pope Gregory III consecrated a chapel to all the martyrs in St. Peter's Basilica on November 1, an ordered an annual celebration of the feast in the Diocese of Rome. Most Church historians believe that it was Pope Gregory IV who extended the November 1 feast day to the entire Church.

No matter the history of All Saints Day, it gives us an opportunity to learn about the heroes of our faith, the Saints. It also gives us an opportunity to ask for the intercession of the Saints and for those who have gone before us, who have lived saintly lives.

THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED OF VIRGIN MARY

Today and Monday for many in Central America are very important Feast Days. Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Juan Diego. On Monday we will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas. These Feast Days commemorate Mary's appearance on December 9, 1531 on a hill overlooking Mexico City to Juan Diego, a Mexican peasant.

The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15, a Holy Day of Obligation, is one of the most significant Feast Days in the Diocese of Greensburg. Our Lady of the Assumption is the Patroness of our diocese.

Why is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary necessary? The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the necessity of the Assumption because Mary was conceived without Original Sin, to assist in her conformity with Jesus, it was her participation in the Resurrection, and it foreshadows the Resurrection at the end of the world. Additionally, Mary's Assumption preserves her earthly body from corruption.

"'Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son...' The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians." (CCC #966)

Queen assumed into Heaven, pray for us.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Every Steelers fan when asked to describe the Immaculate Reception can do so in great detail. They will tell you the famous story of December 23, 1972. They will teach you the nuances of the play in which Terry Bradshaw's pass intended for Frency Fuqua bounced off his helmet due to a collision with Jack Tatum of the Oakland Raiders. Franco Harris who was running a pass pattern in the same area caught the deflected ball just before it hit the ground and ran the rest of the way for a 60-yard touchdown that gave the Steelers a 13-7 victory over the Raiders in the playoffs.

However, if you ask some Catholics to describe the Immaculate Conception, many are not sure if it involves the conception of Jesus or his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the teaching of the Church on the Immaculate Conception as dogma and infallible. In the proclamation, the Pope wrote, "The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin."

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "The 'splendor of an entirely unique holiness' by which Mary is 'enriched from the first instant of her conception' comes wholly from Christ: she is 'redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son.' The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person 'in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places' and chose her 'in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love.'" (CCC #492)

Queen conceived without Original Sin, pray for us.

STARING INTO SPACE

"As they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, 'Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?'" (Acts 1:9-11)

The two men could have asked the same question that my Third Grade teacher asked me constantly, "Why are you staring into space?" I stared into space in the Third Grade because I was bored or tired or because I had no interest in what was being taught.

The Apostles stared into space during Christ's Ascension because they were expecting Jesus, "to restore the kingdom to Israel." (Acts 1:6) They left Mount Olivet and returned to Jerusalem to pray. Of course ten days later the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles at Pentecost, and they and we understood the meaning of Christ’s Ascension and that the mission to proclaim the faith was now in their hands.

While Pentecost celebrates the birthday of the Church, the solemnity of the Ascension, celebrates, the entry of Jesus' humanity into the divine glory that is heaven which occurred 40 days after Easter. It is a Holy Day of Obligation. In some dioceses in the U.S. the celebration of the Ascension is moved to and replaces the Seventh Sunday of Easter.

Why is Jesus' entry into heaven such a significant event? The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "Jesus' final apparition ends with the irreversible entry of his humanity into divine glory, symbolized by the cloud and by heaven, where he is seated from that time forward at God's right hand." (CCC #659)

Additionally, "Being seated at the Father's right hand signifies the inauguration of the Messiah's kingdom, the fulfillment of the prophet Daniel's vision concerning the Son of man: 'To him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.'" (CCC #664)

So, I guess getting caught staring into space during the Ascension of the Lord, wasn't a bad thing to do. But, getting caught staring into space in the Third Grade is a bad thing to do.
