Pope Benedict to be 'pope emeritus' or 'Roman pontiff emeritus'
By: Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI will continue to be known as Pope Benedict and
addressed as "His Holiness," but after his resignation, he will add the title "emeritus" in one of two
acceptable forms, either "pope emeritus" or "Roman pontiff emeritus."
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, said decisions about how the pope would be
addressed and what he would wear were made in consultation with Pope Benedict and with
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the chamberlain of the church, along with others.
After Feb. 28, Pope Benedict will continue to wear a white cassock, but it will be a simplified version of the papal
vestment, mainly without the little white cape piece on the shoulders, Father Lombardi told reporters Feb. 26.
Pope Benedict will leave behind his emblematic red shoes, Father Lombardi said. Instead, he will wear brown shoes,
beginning with loafers he was given as a gift last March during a visit to Leon, Mexico. The Jesuit said the pope has found
the zapatos to be very comfortable.
The safety of the pope emeritus will be ensured by the Vatican police, Father Lombardi said.
Three hours before his pontificate ends, Pope Benedict intends to fly by helicopter to the papal summer villa at Castel
Gandolfo.
At 8 p.m. Feb. 28 -- the exact moment Pope Benedict has said he will cease being pope -- the Swiss Guards stationed at
the main doors of the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo will withdraw and close the doors, Father Lombardi said. The Vatican
gendarmes will take over.
Pope Benedict also will give the College of Cardinals his "fisherman's ring" and seal to be broken, as is usually done upon
the death of a pope, the spokesman said. The pope will go back to wearing an episcopal ring he wore as a cardinal.

‘JUBILEE COMMONS’ UPDATE
Dear Parishioners, families, and friends,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your
continued support of the Elementary and Middle School.
As an important ministry of the Church, striving to
evangelize and offer salvation to many, the school is often
forgotten as ‘the church’ to many of its students. Many
students do not worship regularly on Sundays, some are
not baptized Catholics and yet because we are, it is ever
more important that we educate all children for and from
the Catholic faith perspective.
As you have probably noticed, the façade upgrade to the
school is well under way. You may remember some of my
earlier bulletin writings describing the ‘Jubilee Commons’
project to you all. It was initially planned to be constructed in order to commemorate the school’s Golden Jubilee in
2011, but due to several unforeseen issues and a couple of sizeable ‘brick walls’ that needed to be scaled, we finally
commenced the project in December. The goals for the upgrade were to: improve the Elementary & Middle School’s
aesthetics and curb appeal; formalize the drop off and pick up gathering area for the school families; create an
outdoor working space for children; and provide a needed upgrade to the campus as a whole. Included in the project
are more trees than were previously growing there, seating, landscaping, lighting, ‘green’ bio-filtration drainage,
expanded Pre School play area, with new fencing and synthetic turf, and an information board for community
members. The Jubilee Commons is on course for an end of March completion. Everyone will be invited to a Blessing of
the Jubilee Commons once completed and a day and time assigned.
One of the components of this project is a means by which parish and education center members and alumni can be a
part of this new area. Several aspects of the development are going to be made available as a donor component.
As the school is funding the whole project itself, one way to recoup some of the expenditure is through donations.
Several items will be offered to the community and will include:
Pavers and bricks
Trees
Plinths that mark the walkways
Benches
Community members may then purchase these by way of a donation in order to memorialize or honor someone
special, recognize children and/or families, give as a graduation gift, commemorate an important event (First
Eucharist, Marriage, etc.) or other personal reasons. Additionally, some of the benches will be offered to church
ministries to donate towards commemorating the work of a particular ministry in the parish and one of the benches
will be designated as a bench for your donations in honor of our founding pastor, Rev. Wilkiemeyer.
I will update you all in a couple of weeks with the final details and procedures necessary if you would like to donate to
some of the items in this project. Many thanks again for your support.
With warm wishes for a blessings this Lenten season,
Philip Dolan
Principal
St. Lawrence Elementary and Middle School

Remember the formula. The Church does
a good job capturing certain truths with
easy-to-remember lists and formulas: 10
Commandments, 7 sacraments, 3 persons
in the Trinity. For Lent, the Church gives us
almost a slogan—Prayer, Fasting and
Almsgiving—as the three things we need to
work on during the season.
It’s a time of prayer. Lent is essentially an
act of prayer spread out over 40 days. As
we pray, we go on a journey, one that
hopefully brings us closer to Christ and
leaves us changed by the encounter with
him.
It’s a time to fast. With the fasts of Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday, meatless
Fridays, and our personal disciplines
interspersed, Lent is the only time many
Catholics these days actually fast. And
maybe that’s why it gets all the attention.
“What are you giving up for Lent? Hotdogs?
Beer? Jelly beans?” It’s almost a game for

It’s a time to work on discipline. The 40
days of Lent are also a good, set time to
work on personal discipline in general.
Instead of giving something up, it can be
doing something positive. “I’m going to
exercise more. I’m going to pray more. I’m
going to be nicer to my family, friends and
coworkers.”
It’s about dying to yourself. The more
serious side of Lenten discipline is that it’s
about more than self-control – it’s about
finding aspects of yourself that are less
than Christ-like and letting them die. The
suffering and death of Christ are foremost
on our minds during Lent, and we join in
these mysteries by suffering, dying with
Christ and being resurrected in a purified
form.
Don’t do too much.It’s tempting to make
Lent some ambitious period of personal
reinvention, but it’s best to keep it simple
and focused. There’s a reason the Church
works on these mysteries year after year.
We spend our entire lives growing closer to
God. Don’t try to cram it all in one Lent.
That’s a recipe for failure.
Lent reminds us of our weakness. Of
course, even when we set simple goals for
ourselves during Lent, we still have trouble
keeping them. When we fast, we realize
we’re all just one meal away from hunger.
In both cases, Lent shows us our
weakness. This can be painful, but
recognizing how helpless we are makes us
seek God’s help with renewed urgency and
sincerity.
9)
Be patient with yourself. When we’re
confronted with our own weakness during
Lent, the temptation is to get angry and
frustrated. “What a bad person I am!” But
that’s the wrong lesson. God is calling us to
be patient and to see ourselves as he does,
with unconditional love.
Reach out in charity. As we experience
weakness and suffering during Lent, we
should be renewed in our compassion for
those who are hungry, suffering or
otherwise in need. The third part of the
Lenten formula is almsgiving. It’s about
more than throwing a few extra dollars in
the collection plate; it’s about reaching out
to others and helping them without question
as a way of sharing the experience of God’s
unconditional love.
10) Learn to love like Christ. Giving of
ourselves in the midst of our suffering and
self-denial brings us closer to loving like
Christ, who suffered and poured himself out
unconditionally on cross for all of us. Lent
is a journey through the desert to the foot of
the cross on Good Friday, as we seek him
out, ask his help, join in his suffering, and
learn to love like him.

Prayer
By: Fr. Thuc Si Ho and Deborah Ferry - Liturgy Corner
Poverty - Part 3
By: Jim Balquist - Social Concerns
(portions of this article ran previously)
The three pillars of Lent are Prayer, Almsgiving, and Fasting.
We will explore these themes for the next three weeks.
Prayer was an integral part in Jesus’ life and ministry. On
Ash Wednesday, Jesus teaches the Apostles how to pray.
The opening lines of the Gospel from the 2nd Sunday of
Lent tell us that Jesus took Peter, John, and James to the
mountain to pray. Jesus leaves with us a model that clearly
shows our Christian life depends upon prayer. What we will
accomplish in a busy day may depend on what we do early
in the morning, besides breakfast!
Again the Gospel on Ash Wednesday highlights Prayer,
along with fasting and almsgiving. Jesus instructed us:
“When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door,
and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who
sees in secret will repay you” (Matthew 6: 6). In following
passages, Jesus gave us the so-called the Lord’s Prayer.
We pray that the Lord’s Prayer is our daily prayer as well.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church devotes Part Four on
Christian Prayer. “What is Prayer?” is highlighted from
number 2559 to 2565. It summarizes: “Prayer is the
elevation of the mind and heart to God in praise of his
glory; a petition made to God for some desired good, or in
thanksgiving for a good received, or in intercession for
others before God.
Through prayer the Christian
experiences a communion with God through Christ in the
Church” (Second Edition, 2000, page 894).
The Church at Saint Lawrence gathers every Sunday for the
Eucharistic Prayer and celebration. Besides, there is also
daily mass at 8:30 in the morning. In addition, please check
the bulletin for other communal Prayers.
This continues Lyndon
Johnson’s 1964 “Causes of
Poverty” speech:
“The war on poverty is not
a struggle simply to support
people, to make them
dependent
on
the
generosity of others. It is a
struggle to give people a
chance. It is an effort to
allow them to develop and
use their capacities, as we have been allowed to develop
and use ours, so that they can share, as others share, in
the promise of this nation.
We do this, first of all, because it is right that we should…
We do it also because helping some will increase the
prosperity of all. Our fight against poverty will be an
investment in the most valuable of our resources-the
skills and strength of our people…It strikes at the causes,
not just the consequences of poverty.”
As we approach the Lenten
Reconciliation Rite, we recall
some the words: “Forgive me
for what I have done and what I
have failed to do”. As we look at
poverty in our community and
what it will take to significantly
reduce it, let us focus on the last
part of that phrase in a reflective and non-judgmental
manner. What gifts has the Creator given us that could
help reduce poverty and what would it take for each of us
to use more of those gifts … and/or to use those gifts
more. Each of us already has done some things and
each of us could do more. We may not be called to be
Saint (Mother) Teresa, but couldn’t each of us do just a
little more this year? And if we did, what might poverty in
our community look like next year at this time? And while
we are reflecting on this, let us include the inevitable
question: “What will Jesus say?” when we invite Him into
our reflection?
“Forgive me
for what
I have done and
what I have failed

SLEMS’StudentsWriteLettersofLove
Saint Lawrence’s February service project, Letters of Love, was unusual in
that it did not involve raising funds in any way, but asked each student to
write a letter to a patient at O’Connor Hospital, introducing themselves
and expressing compassion and thoughtful support. Although not
intended as a Valentine greeting, February was chosen as a fitting time for
sending letters of love. Students wished good health, peace, and
encouragement to people they didn’t know, learning that the words of a stranger could help
someone in their community. Some called upon their own experiences in hospitals, one recalling,
“I know what it’s like to feel so alone.” The youngest children drew cheerful pictures of rainbows
and hearts. The eighth grade service project, led by middle school math
teacher Matt Wheeler and religion coordinator Monica Argenti, provided
students with the opportunity to reach out to others, and brought a smile and
a happy diversion to patients at O’Connor Hospital.
Saint Lawrence Elementary & Middle School does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national or ethnic origin, age, sex or disability in the admission of students, the administration
of educational policies, scholarship, and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered
programs.
