St. Kilian, Feast Day - July 8
It is generally recognized that
from childhood, Kilian exhibited a
great zeal to the understanding of
the Christian Faith. He was
motivated by the words of Jesus:
“If anyone wishes to come after
me, let him deny himself and take
up his cross and follow me.” Kilian
was consecrated bishop before
leaving Ireland and given the name
“Kilian” which means “hammer.”
Kilian, the hammer, was to destroy
paganism by his preaching.
At that time, missionaries were
to be commissioned by the Pope.
They received the blessing of Pope
Conan for their preaching in Germany. Kilian and
eleven companions set out and when arriving in
Franconia (today Bavaria), Kilian and two
companions, Kolonat, a priest and Totnan, a
deacon, settled in Wurzburg where they were the
first missionaries to the people of that area.
Many people were converted to the Catholic faith
in the next few years. Kilian baptized the reigning
Duke Gosbert. The duke, however, was
married to his sister-in-law that which was
forbidden by both Franconia and Church law.
Since the duke had become a strong
Christian, he was resolved to separate from
his wife, Gailana. W hen she heard of
Gosbert’s intention she was furious and
arranged for Duke Gosbert to be on a
crusade, and when he was absent arranged
for the beheading of Kilian, Kolonat and
Totnan.
W hile awaiting their execution, Kilian
heard the voice of Jesus: “Friend Kilian,
arise. I do not want you to exert yourself any
longer. Just one more battle and you will
march in as victor with me.”
During the night the murderers broke in
and Kilian encouraged his companions with
the words: “Do not be afraid of those who
kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” They
were martyred in the year 689. Kilian is
pictured with a sword, the instrument of his
martyrdom.

A Three-Year Spiritual Renewal: “Arise: Together in Christ”
“They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day.” (John 1. 39)
About a dozen years ago when John O’Malley was named by Pope John Paul the 2nd as Archbishop of Boston, he knew
that he would have his hands full in a complex and scandal ridden diocese. He recognized that healing was needed.
The clergy sex abuse scandal caused great damage to the morale and spiritual life of his parishioners.
He asked Renew International, a spiritual renewal Center located in Newark, New Jersey, to meet with a diocesan
committee and develop a program that would bring new life to his beleaguered diocese. Arise: together in Christ was
the result. I believe that 2 of the renew international missions were implemented at St. Kilian: renew and renew 2000.
A three-year and parish centered process of spiritual renewal, Arise has as its goal deepening a personal friendship and
mature love for Jesus Christ. In addition, participants in Arise would meet in small groups in every parish in the diocese,
to discuss The Word of God and share their faith in the Lord at work in their lives. Participants are drawn closer to the
Lord and to one another, bringing healing and deepening bonds in their Christian communities.
Each participant received an individual booklet to assist their prayer and faith sharing. Leaders of these small homebased groups were trained as facilitators by the Renew International office. Hundreds of thousands of parishioners in
the archdiocese of Boston participated. The results were as they hoped. Parishioners found their love for Jesus growing
stronger, and their love for one another and their church increasing as well.
The structure of the Arise spiritual renewal: there are 5 distinct periods of time, called seasons, each of which lasts 6
weeks. Each season engages the parish (and the diocese if a whole diocese is participating) in a gospel theme: season 1
in the fall of the year, is entitled: “ Encountering Christ Today”; season 2, usually during Lent, is called “Change Our
Hearts”. Season 3, in the fall of the following year,-”In the Footsteps of Christ”; and in Lent of the next year-”New
Heart, New Spirit. Arise concludes with the last fall season- “We Are the Good News.”
Arise has been approved for use in our diocese by Bishop Murphy. In my last assignment as pastor of Saints Peter and
Paul in Manorville, we began the Arise Spiritual Renewal in the fall of 2013. Although we had just 1200 registered
parishioners, 120 adults participated in the 1st season,! I understand that the same enthusiasm and involvement is
continuing as the 3rd season of Arise begins.
Arise can be targeted at young parents preparing their children for 1st holy Communion or Confirmation. They can be
invited as participants in small Christian communities for the three-year term. The rest of our parish can also
participate in small faith sharing communities through Arise.
You can find more information on “Arise: Together in Christ” by clicking on the website for renew international.org

All Souls Day,
Sunday, November 2
On All Souls Day, we commemorate
the memory of all of our brothers and sisters who have
completed their life’s journey on their way home to the Lord.
It is an ancient custom that we make offerings and offer
prayers for our deceased loved ones. The custom precedes
the time of Jesus for the Old Testament book of Maccabees
speaks of taking up offerings for the deceased in battle so
that sacrifices may be made in the temple of Jerusalem for
them (2 Mac. 12:43-45)
To have your deceased family and friends remembered in
the Masses on All Souls Day and throughout the month of
November, please return the All Souls Envelope in your
monthly packet of envelopes. Envelopes are also available
on the bulletin stands in the church.
Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord, and let the Perpetual
Light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all
the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest in
Peace. Amen
Collection Envelopes
It helps our counters to keep an
accurate account of your

please do not tape your envelope closed. Thank you

St. Agnes Medal of
Service
This past June, Msgr. Flynn, after
consultation with our Pastoral
Council, recommended Chris
McDonald for the St. Agnes Medal
of Service. Bishop William Murphy
has approved. Chris will receive
this medal next weekend at a special ceremony at St.
Agnes Cathedral.
The St. Agnes Medal of Service was instituted 8
years ago to recognize members of the church who
contributed their time and talent to our parishes. Chris
McDonald is receiving this honor because of her consistent, generous and meaningful contributions in many
ways to the life of the parish of St. Kilian.
Chris McDonald has been a parishioner at St.
Kilian for over 35 years. She has been very active in the
parish over the years, serving as a Eucharistic Minister;
Social Ministry volunteer who brings the Eucharist to the
homebound; member of the Ministry of Consolation; long
time member and past president of the Women’s Guild; a
volunteer who cares for the beautiful flowers on the Altar
through our liturgical seasons; member of the Adult Faith
Formation Committee and also the Monday night Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Group.
Chris’s faith and devotion to her religion and to
the Church are evident in all that she does. She is an
asset to the pastoral staff and her kind and generous
manner is well known and loved here at St. Kilian’s.
Congratulations Chris for a well deserved honor!

...through Stewardship
A Way of Life
Stewardship News - Awareness Weekend
For many years, when we enter into our stewardship renewal
time, we begin with Awareness Weekend. Usually, the
awareness we speak and write about is one that focuses
directly on stewardship or the renewal event itself. It is
intended to help make us aware, as good stewards, of how we
shared our gifts over the past year.
Let’s think a bit differently this year and use Awareness
Weekend as a time for us to be specifically aware of God in
our daily lives. If we are asked, “Who is the source of all
things; who created the earth and all things in it; who created
and uniquely gifted us, as each of us are?”, we may reply,
“God!” But, would someone know this answer without asking
the question? Could someone determine by the way we live
our lives that we believe God is the Source and Creator of all?
Awareness Weekend calls us to be aware - conscious - that
all that we are and all that we have has been given to us by
God. Yes, we work for what we possess, but God gave us the
ability to work. Yes, we may have achieved much, but God
gave us the motivation to do so. Each one of us has been,
and continues to be, gifted by God.
When we realize that all has been given as gift, our natural
response is gratitude. We can’t help but say “thank you” for
what we have received! In fact, try not saying “thank you”
when someone offers you a gift. It requires a real effort NOT
to say “thanks!” If saying “thank you” is our natural response
and God has given all as gift to us, then we must respond
with gratitude.
One very important and foundational way we can thank God
is through prayer. God’s stewards are rooted in prayer for it
is through prayer that we are guided on our life’s journey.
Prayer is our grateful response to God’s gifts and a natural
way to continue to belong more deeply.

Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, calls for us
to pray for peace in Iraq.
Lord,
The plight of our country
is deep and the suffering of Christians
is severe and frightening.
Therefore, we ask you Lord
to spare our lives, and to grant us patience,
and courage to continue our witness of Christian values
with trust and hope.
Lord, peace is the foundation of life.
Grant us the peace and stability that will enable us to live
with each other without fear and
anxiety, and with dignity and joy.

THERE!
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
ADD YOUR PRAYERS TO
THIS EFFORT? READ ON:
A pro-lifer was putting in “extra hours” in front of the
abortion site last week for the 40 Days for Life
Campaign. He was able to speak with a young
mother near the building and direct her to the Life
Center for the help she needed to enable her to
give life to the child she was carrying. After a few
visits to the Life Center she decided that, with their
help, she would be able keep her baby. The life of
one more of God s precious infants saved, as well
as the wounding of one more mother’s heart.

29º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“Dios sigue actuando en la historia. El Espíritu
Santo sigue moviendo los corazones de los cristianos
como en la primera comunidad cristiana de Tesalónica;
la comunidad era ejemplar por su fe, su caridad y
esperanza. Si seguimos su ejemplo seremos capaces en
la actualidad de lograr un equilibrio entre Dios y el
César. Entre Dios y los impuestos que cada año
debemos pagar al gobierno. Por un decir, la invitación de
Dios ante todo esto es que la política no es lo importante
sino que dentro de ella se respete al ser humano y su
dignidad.
Balance entre el ser humano y lo divino es lo
que Jesús en el Evangelio nos enseña. Los fariseos no
perdían el tiempo en poner a prueba a Jesús, y
comprometerlo con sus respuestas. Unidos con unos
partidarios de Herodes, inician la conversación buscando
como acusarlo y deshacerse de él lo antes posible. Sus
palabras de alabanza al inicio de las preguntas se
convierten en trampa y ponen a prueba la honradez de
Jesús. “Maestro, sabemos que eres sincero y enseñas
con verdad el camino de Dios, y que nada te arredra,
porque no buscas el favor de nadie. Dinos, pues, qué
piensas”. La pregunta: “¿Es lícito o no pagar el tributo al
César?” Jesús es acertado en su respuesta, dando una
salida brillante. ¡Denuncia su hipocresía! La ambición de
los dirigentes, su amor al dinero, facilita el dominio de
los romanos sobre los pobres de Israel, por lo tanto, esto
impide que den un verdadero culto a Dios, alejándose de
la honestidad y solidaridad con los que más sufren.
¿Crees que sucede esto ahora? ¿Dónde lo identificas?
¿Qué es lo que hay que devolver a Dios?
