Priest’s Column
My dear Parishioners,
Peace! There are nineteen (19) In Brief articles in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which treat the Lord’s
Prayer or "Our Father." The following reflection considers CCC, 2797.
Here we consider the four dispositions required in order for us to pray the Lord’s Prayer properly. The Hebrew
words batah (trust) and aman (to support, confide in, to trust) conjure up the idea of assurance, as do the Greek
terms pistis (Faith) and plerophoria (full assurance).
Simple confidence is required to pray the Lord’s Prayer properly. Saint Paul exhibited simple confidence in
Philippians 1:6 when he wrote, inspired by God, "I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good
work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." We learn the simplicity of confident prayer in 1 John 5:14 where we are
reminded that "if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us." Simple confidence in prayer seems evidently necessary when
the Lord Himself teaches us that whatever we shall ask in prayer, believing, we shall receive (cf. Matthew 21:22; Mark 11:24).
Faithful confidence is required to pray the Lord’s Prayer properly. In Sacred Scripture we read about faithful confidence in
Hebrews 4:16, how we are to "draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to
help in time of need." In Proverbs 14:26 we learn that we have strong confidence in the fear of the Lord and as His children we have
refuge in Him.
Humble assurance is required to pray the Lord’s Prayer properly. The Lord’s Prayer is part of the Gospel Saint Paul preached in
the Holy Spirit giving full assurance and hope (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:5). The Lord Jesus Himself teaches us about the humble
assurance we should have in praying the Lord’ Prayer in John 14:13: "whatever you shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified in the Son."
Joyous assurance is required to pray the Lord’s Prayer properly. With hearts full of faith, washed and made pure by God’s grace
we have assurance of God’s love and mercy (cf. Hebrews 10:22). The joyful assurance we have over the Lord’s resurrection and
our own on the last day is augmented by our prayer of the Lord’s Prayer (cf. Acts 17:31).
Without simplicity or faith, without humility or joy how could we pray at all, let alone the Lord’s Prayer? Without confidence or
assurance how deep is our prayer, our faith? It is better that we pray the Lord’s Prayer "as little children" that we might "be
converted" and in God’s mercy "enter into the Kingdom of Heaven" (cf. Matthew 18:3). The Lord Himself desires that we come to
Him in the simplicity and innocence of "little children" and we do so especially in the Lord’s Prayer (cf. Matthew 19:14). Jesus has
taught us how to pray (cf. Luke 11:1-13).
God bless you!
Father John Arthur Orr
“The Lord is my light and my salvation.”
Patience is a virtue that brings with it many rewards. One of the most rewarding benefits advanced by this virtue is found in the
habit of ‘delayed gratification’. We live in a culture that is constantly shouting, “You deserve it, and, you can have it right now!”
The result is many people fall prey to ‘instant gratification’. Instant gratification places a serious roadblock on our path to being
the best disciples and stewards we can be. This is where patience can reward us. One of the hallmarks of stewardship is generosity;
however, it is difficult to be generous if we too frequently give in to instant gratification. Advertisers would have us believe that we
can spend our way to happiness. The truth is that sharing first and spending second is the path to sustained happiness and greater
generosity.
When it comes to developing patience with our spending habits, the best course of action is to preface every spending decision
with the question, “Do I need this or do I simply want it?” This question is at the heart of good financial stewardship. The modern
media feeds our subconscious minds with hundreds of images every day, all intended to blur the difference between what
we legitimately need and what we simply want. If we are not careful these images can have a powerful influence on our
attitudes. “Whoever controls the images controls the culture” (Bishop Robert Morneau).
Making stewardship a way of life involves patience because it often requires that we make some adjustments to our lifestyle in
order to become better stewards. Being patient with myself helps me on my journey. As with all the virtues, gratitude is the parent
of patience. I try to be grateful in every situation, grateful for what I have, grateful for my job, grateful for my relationships. In
gratitude I find patience whenever things don’t go the way I think they should. Patience is more than the ability to wait; it is all
about how we behave while we are waiting. Sometimes God makes us wait in order to teach us to trust Him, to have faith, and to be
patient. There is nothing quite as exciting as waiting on God because we know whatever He has planned for us…it will be good!
Patience is more than the ability to wait; it is all about how we behave while we are waiting.
This article is part eight in a series of 12 reflections on stewardship virtues by ICSC member, Dan Potvin, Director of Stewardship for the Archdiocese of Winnipeg, Canada.

Dear Friends,
Please join me on a pilgrimage of a lifetime. People go on pilgrimages
for different reasons. Some undertake pilgrimages to give thanks, others
in fulfillment of a vow, still others as a penance. Whatever your reason,
you will cherish the graces received and the memories from this
pilgrimage in the Year of Mercy: daily Mass and prayers, fellowship and
adventure, the Major Basilicas of Saint John Lateran, Saint Peter, Saint
Paul outside the Walls, Saint Mary Major in Rome, and the minor
basilicas of Saint Francis, Saint Mary of the Angels in Assisi, Saint Mary
of the Flower and Holy Cross in Florence, the Holy House of Loreto,
Saint Benedict in Norcia, sites of miracles and lives of the saints like
Scholastica, Catherine of Siena and Pio of Pietrelcina, and so much
more... Come seek the intercession of the saints and deepen your journey
of faith.
Father John Arthur Orr

The Americans for Truth website points out that “since
1980, 350,000 men having sex with men have died of HIV/
AIDS.” The cost to society? Each HIV/AIDS victim
needs $24,000+ of anti-viral medication per year; treating
an HIV/AIDS victim from the disease’s onset through
hospice runs $400,000 to $600,000 per year.
The homosexual lobby also tells us that same-sex
marriages should be celebrated for the “stability” they
bring to society. The Americans for Truth website points
to a Kinsey Institute report that “only one percent of men
having sex with men had achieved
monogamous
relationships; only 9 percent had less than 25 partners; 32
percent had between 100 and 500; 15 percent between 500
and 1,000.” Whatever those numbers tell us, they do not
describe a “stable” force in society worthy of
commendation.
