Second Collection this Weekend The fundamental mission of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary is the formation of Catholic men for pastoral service in the Priesthood of Jesus Christ. The Seminary is committed to providing a unified college and theology program of formation in priestly spirituality, pastoral ministry, celibate witness, emotional maturity, intellectual integrity, and physical wellness. Formation towards the ministerial Priesthood centers on the Word of God and the Sacraments of the Church; most especially Eucharist and Reconciliation. This is complemented by personal and community prayer, a comprehensive academic program of liberal arts and theological studies, and a program of pastoral preparation designed primarily for parochial ministry. The Seminary recognizes the diverse challenges of our time and promotes in the seminarian a commitment to work in unity with others in the Church with a pastoral sensitivity that is exercised in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church. Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary provides an atmosphere that fosters and ensures a thorough process of formation, so that the man called to the Priesthood by God will have a strong priestly identity, a desire to serve, and a love for the people of God. Thank you for your generous support of Saint Charles Seminary. 153 - 3 SCJN SPORTS CENTER Ss.

CREATED FOR JOY Jesus reveals our human identity and destiny Jesus reveals who God is, including that God loves us and reaches out to us. But Jesus also reveals what it means to be human. The Second Vatican Council, speaking of Jesus as the “Word” of God, taught, “The truth is that only in the mystery of the incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light.” In Jesus Christ, we learn things about ourselves that are true, which we could not invent, and which we would not otherwise know. As the Bible puts it, “your life is hidden with Christ.” Catholics believe that God so loves the world (Jn 3:16), that rather than leave us in confusion, God took human flesh to disclose who God is and who we are. The Second Vatican Council explains: The root reason for human dignity lies in man’s call to communion with God. From the very circumstance of his origin, man is already invited to converse with God. For man would not exist were he not created by God’s love and constantly preserved by it; and he cannot live fully according to truth unless he freely acknowledges that love and devotes Himself to his Creator. As Pope Benedict XVI stressed at the last World Meeting of Families, in Milan in 2012, “It is love that makes the human person the authentic image of the Blessed Trinity, [the] image of God.” Saturday, November 22nd (8:00 pm—?)

It suggests that each individual person is precious, with unique and irreducible dignity. The image of God abides in us, no matter what we do to obscure it. “Do you believe in life after death?” the boss asked one of his employees. “Yes, sir,” the employee replied. “Well, then, that makes everything just fine,” the boss went on. “After you left early yesterday to go to your Grandmother’s funeral, she stopped in to see you!” (Consult this column each week for another teaching on the Family.) 153 - 6
