GETTING THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES

Its going to get worse before it gets better is a
phrase that prepares us to buckle up for a rough ride. We
know that enduring a difficult time will require some
strenuous physical or emotional energy on our part before we experience the calm of normality. Our past experience tells us that we can endure the difficult pressure
better when we know how long it will last and if we
know that something better awaits us. Getting through
the tough times while holding to the promise that awaits
us is the message of this weekends readings. They point
toward the promises of Gods kingdom that will come
after the maelstroms and chaos of this world.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Eastern Christians developed very different traditions for confessing sin. They see the priest as a witness to
Gods action, a physician, if you will, rather than a judge. A person confesses sin to God while standing in
front of an icon of Jesus, face to face. Without a grill, in the full light of day, near a table with an open Gospel
book, the penitent asks the Lord for mercy. A priest standing to the side might offer counsel and confirm
Gods gift of forgiveness. Rather than list sins and offenses, an Eastern Christian is more likely to speak of a
disposition of heart toward God and neighbor, and the desire to forgive those who have wronged them.
Remarkably, although only a priest can pronounce the prayers of forgiveness, lay people, including married men and women, single Christians, monks, and nuns, may witness the confession. This is akin to the ancient Celtic practice of a soul friend as a spiritual mentor. Bishops may bless anyone with sufficient theological knowledge and discretion to do this. Eastern Catholics in the United States have largely drifted away
from this tradition and toward Latin Rite customs such as confessional screens, set formulas and prayers, and
penances. Today, in the interest of preserving the authentic tradition of the Eastern Church, there is a move to
restore the older form. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

possible for us to continue our life-saving and life-affirming work

We are deeply grateful to your pastor, Father Michel Zoufal, and to

Because of your sacrifices large and small, Womens Care Center
