Bishop takes prudent steps forward in TOGETHER vision

The diocesan-wide special appeal is
now in an extended preparation phase
A recession hurts.
We have lost savings. We have
lost jobs. We have lost businesses.
And the headlines continue to tell
us that the economy will get worse
before it gets better.
Now is a difficult time to talk
about money. Yet conversations
about money are everywhere –
even at church.
On November 4, 2008, Bishop
Michael O. Jackels sent a letter to
the faithful of the diocese about
his decision to move forward with
a special appeal.
The intention of the appeal has
always been greater than fundrais-
ing. It is a vision for the growth of
our diocese.
But at no time has the Bishop
ever taken the decision to move
forward with this vision lightly. In
his November letter, Bishop Jack-
els wrote about the Divine Guid-
ance that calmed his fears and
gave him a sense of trust.
“This decision was not made
with insensitivity to those affected
by the economy,” he wrote. “Rath-
er we care about and for people,
especially those hurting.”
But since November, the reces-
sion has become even more pain-
ful. And the Bishop’s compassion
for those hurting during this reces-
sion is unfailing.
In December 2008, the Bishop
resolved to extend the preparation
phase of the appeal until economic
indicators show some stability.
Though we do not yet know
how long we will wait, Bishop
Jackels has declared that there is
no question if we will proceed but
when we will invite everyone to
make a sacrificial gift.
The priorities of this special
appeal will not go away. In fact,

Moses fled Egypt because Bible facts

• The word Bible comes for the Greek
3:13-15.

Why does the old testament nev-

he murdered an Egyption word Biblia, which literally means

Test yourself on your knowledge of Exodus
By Msgr. William Carr
Who is Moses?
Moses is the great law-giver of
the Old Testament. He led the chil-
dren of Israel out of slavery from
Egypt.
What is the story of Moses’
infancy?
The Bible says that Pharaoh had
ordered male Israelite babies to be
killed. Moses’ mother hid him in
a basket daubed with pitch and set
the basket afloat amid the reeds
of the river. Pharaoh’s daughter
found the baby and brought him to
be reared in Pharaoh’s household.
She called him “Moses” because
she said she drew him out of the
water. This is a popular etymology
for Moses’ name. The word which
means “one who has been drawn
out” sounds like the Hebrew for
Moses.
Why did Moses flee Egypt?
Moses saw an Egyptian beat-
ing a Hebrew. He killed the Egyp-
tian and buried him in the sand.
Later, when there was a dispute
between two Hebrews, Moses
tried to stop it; one of the Hebrews
taunted him with “Are you going
to kill me as you did that Egyp-
tian?” Moses realized that the kill-
ing was known and he fled across
the Sinai peninsula to the land of
Midian.
What happened to Moses in
Midian?
Moses married a wealthy man’s
daughter. He had a family, and
would have been content to live
the rest of his days in comfort in
Midian.
Why did Moses go back to
Egypt?
Moses was tending the flocks
of his father-in-law, Jethro. He saw
a bush which was burning but not
consumed. When he went to in-
vestigate, he heard a voice saying,
“Moses, take off your shoes; this
ground is holy ground. I am the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob. I have heard
the cries of my people and have
“books.”
come
to deliver them.” Read
the story in Exodus 3.
Did Moses want to go back to
Egypt?
No. Moses made every possible
objection to God. He objected that
Pharaoh would not believe him.
He objected that the Hebrews
would not accept him. He objected
that he was an escaped murderer.
He objected that he was a stutterer
and no one would understand him.
(“Slow of speech” means “stut-
terer!”) God answered all his ob-
jections and said he would be with
him.
Why did Moses ask God’s
name?
There may be several reasons,
but one intriguing one is the

tament never died:
Enoch and Elijah.
God took them into
heaven.
mystic notion Semitic peo-
ples had about names. If you
knew someone’s name, you had
a power over that person. When
Adam “names” the animals, it is
a sign that he has dominion over
them — and shares in the domin-
ion of God. When an Egyptian
child was born, the child was
given a real name which no one
ever knew, and another “nick-
name” which everyone knew:
This was so that the “demons
in the nether world” would never
know the person’s real name, and
thus have power over the per-
son! So, when Moses asks God’s
name, it may be a sign that Mo-
ses wanted to have control over
God! God told Moses, “I am who I
am.” Ever afterwards, the Hebrew
people’s used this as the name for
God. In Hebrew, “he who is, who
was, and who will never cease to
be” is ‘YAHWEH.’ Read Exodus
er put ‘YAHWEH’ in print?
Out of reverence for God’s holy
name, Hebrews (and Jews today)
never pronounce the name of God.
In ancient times, it was blasphemy
for a Jew to say God’s name — for
the reasons given above.
Only once a year, on the Day
of Atonement (Yom Kippur) did
one person (the High Priest) pro-
nounce the name YAHWEH. This
was in the Holy of Holies of the
Temple when he sprinkled the Ark
of the Covenant with blood. As he
did so, he called on God to forgive
all sins committed during the last
year. He pronounced the name of
God: YAHWEH.
In most translations of the
Bible, what word is used in place
of YAHWEH?
The word used in place of
YAHWEH is LORD.
Some Protestant groups have a
word different from YAHWEH.
Yes. They use the word “Jeho-
vah.” They used different vowels
for the Hebrew consonants. Jeho-
vah was never a word; it was con-
trived by using the consonants for
YAHWEH and the vowels for the
Hebrew word for LORD.

Sunday
By Msgr. William Carr
Fourth Sunday of Lent
II Chronicles 36:14-17,19-23;
Ephesians 2:4-10; John 3:14-21
This Sunday is usually called
“Laetare Sunday.” “Laetare” (lay-
TAH-ray) is the first word of the
Latin Entrance Antiphon. It means
“Rejoice!” It is a long story, but
this Sunday came to be a Sun-
day of rejoicing in the midst of a
penitential season: Today, the or-
gan and other instruments may be
played; and there may be flowers
on the altar.
The “long story” is this: In an-
cient Rome, Mass was celebrated
by the pope and people in different
churches on different days. These
churches were called “stational
churches.” The liturgy often took
its readings and theme from the
“stational church.” The “stational
church” today is the “Church of the
Holy Cross in Jerusalem” which is
in Rome. This church was built by
St. Helena to house the cross and
the relics of the Lord’s Passion
which she brought back from Je-
rusalem. She used dirt from Jeru-
salem as ballast for her ships. This
dirt was then placed around the
foundation of the Church of the
Holy Cross — so it really was in
Jerusalem (or on Jerusalem soil)
even though it was in Rome. The
Church represented Jerusalem
— the ancient city as well as the
heavenly Jerusalem. The Entrance
Antiphon, then, was “Rejoice Je-
rusalem! Be glad for her, you
who love her!” The “rejoicing”
theme in the middle of Lent
came from this antiphon!

Winfield parishioners plan ahead for
future priest or religious life vocation
Holy Name Parish, Winfield,
has never produced a vocation to
the priesthood and hasn’t had a
vocation to the religious life in
recent years. But that isn’t stop-
ping parishioners from praying
and planning for one, or two, or
more.
The parish has started what
could be described as a college
fund for the next young man
who begins seminary work or
the next young woman who en-
ters the religious life.
Julie Toon, a convert of about
seven years, said the parish will
be hosting its third dinner Satur-
day, April 4, to raise money for
their future vocation.
The dinner does two things,
she said. “Not only will it help

it also increases awareness of

The parish has been praying
for vocations, Toon said, adding
that the prayer and events, such
as the dinner, help young men
and women understand the par-

tions.
“We’re hoping by the time
we have a vocation there will
be enough money in the fund to

said.

Delia Barnett said she began to
weep when the Junior League of
Wichita told her that Holy Savior
Catholic Academy was going to
receive a grant for the school’s
library.
“Over the last 11 years we
haven’t had an official library,”
the principal said. “Our books
were outdated and we were lack-
ing in technology.”
She said the library wasn’t
high on her list of priorities
because the school had so many
other pressing issues.
“The Junior League made it
possible,” Barnett said. “It is truly
a blessing because it came at a

The volunteer librarians and

she said, with its new books, new

other equipment.
The $45,811 gift for the proj-
ect was raised through Holiday

Before the improvements were
made, the library could be com-

My prayers were answered when CRS came to the region and
offered farmers like me the opportunity to join the
Country School for Small Farmers. Through
the school I learned clear and simple skills to
help me improve my farming operations. The
school is based on the concept of learning by
discovery, where the farmers and teachers are
able to exchange knowledge through experi-
ence and experimentation. Through this pro-
cess we learned about animal nutrition and health,
livestock improvement, production, and marketing strategies. I
have been able to go from owning a few cows that barely produced
milk to being the proud owner of a small dairy farm.
Some other farmers and I formed a local co-op and now have
access to a dairy plant where we can bottle and market our milk
and dairy products. Our income has increased and our lives have
changed. The school training provided me with the skills to be-
come a successful farmer, and a businessman who is working to-
wards the improvement of my community and my region. Today,
I am the president of the local co-op, and a member of the Fair
Trade network in Honduras.

Trio of St. Peter first graders get
early start in stewardship training
A trio of first grade girls initiat-
ed a book drive at St. Peter School
to gather texts for Books for Life.
“My daughter heard about
the book drive on television and
wanted to help get some books for
the children,” said Corri Roberts,
mother of one of the girls.
“She asked Emily Bosley, and
Abby Scheer to help her with the
book drive. These three girls prac-
ticed a speech for three days, went
to all the classes and delivered
their speech.
The books are being sent to Li-
beria, West Africa, in response to
a teacher’s request. The Liberian
teacher said students there have
about one book for every 27 chil-
dren, which makes it difficult to
teach reading.
Their goal was 500 books. They
gathered 1,200.

Senate bill would abolish state’s death penalty

Catholic teaching does allow
for capital punishment, but
only when there is no other
way to protect society.

Full statement online
The testimony by the four
Kansas bishops to the sen-
ate committee is available in
full on the Downloads page
at catholicadvance.org.
By Christopher Riggs
A Kansas Senate bill that
would abolish the death penalty
was given new life this week.
Michael Schuttloffel, executive
director of the Kansas Catholic
Conference, said a committee
voted Wednesday, March 4, to
send SB 208 to an interim study
committee rather than advancing
it to the chamber floor for debate.
“Then the next day the com-
mittee unexpectedly reconsidered,
re-voted, and approved to pass it
out of committee,” Schuttloffel
said. “It can now be brought out
for consideration by the whole
senate.”
The bill was considered by the
Kansas Senate earlier this week
but was eventually returned to
committee for further study.
The bill would bar new death
sentences after July 1 but would
not affect the 10 state inmates
already awaiting execution. “We
haven’t executed anyone in the
state for over 40 years,” Schuttlof-
fel said.
The executive director of the
Kansas Catholic Conference pre-
sented testimony to the commit-
tee Feb. 26 on behalf of the four
bishops of Kansas.
The bishops said in their state-
ment, “Abolishing the Death Pen-
alty in Kansas,” that the Catholic
Church takes a nuanced position
with regard to capital punishment.
“It has traditionally been
allowed, not as a form of ven-
geance, but rather as a means
of protecting people in cases of
absolute necessity: in other words,
when it would not be possible
otherwise to defend society,” the
bishops said.
However such circumstances
rarely, if ever, exist in modem in-
dustrialized societies, they added.
“We have the technological
means to ensure that those who
would do us harm are incarcer-
ated for life. Thus, capital punish-
ment has ceased to be a matter of
necessity.”
Catholic tradition allows for
the taking of human life in cases
of defense against an aggressor,
the bishops testified, but added
that church teaching makes no
room for killing for the sake of
revenge.
One reason the bishops recom-
mended that capital punishment
be abolished in Kansas was to
prevent the execution of an in-
nocent person.
“In the last 35 years, over 100
Americans have been released
from death row due to evidence of
their innocence,” the bishops said.
“The fact that innocent persons
were near to being executed in this
country is so astounding, so shock-
ing, that we have no choice but to
seek alternate forms of justice.”
Society has failed if only one
innocent person is put to death,
the four bishops said. “The only
way for society to have the peace
of mind that no guiltless person
will ever face execution is for
there to be no executions.”
The bishops testified that by
imprisoning a convicted criminal
rather than killing him, society
gives itself time to ensure that a
correct verdict has been reached.
In addition the criminal is given
time to reflect on what he did.
The Kansas bishops also chal-
lenged the faithful to pray for the
conversion of criminals.
“While the wounds that have
been inflicted by crimes of vio-
lence cannot ever be fully mended
in this world, would it not be
better to know that the perpetrator
has come to regret his actions?”
What does the
Catechism say?
The Catechism of the Cath-
olic Church says in paragraph
2267: If...non-lethal means are
sufficient to defend and protect
people’s safety from the ag-
gressor, authority will limit itself
to such means, as these are
more in keeping with the con-
crete conditions of the common
good and are more in confor-
mity to the dignity of the human
person.
they said.
“We should not kill our prison-
ers for the same reason that we
do not torture them. We do not
want to be the kind of people who
kill human beings out of anger,
revenge, hate, bloodlust – the
same dark emotions that animated
the original crimes we seek to
punish.”
The bishops concluded their
statement by saying the death
penalty, “by vainly trying to repay
killing with killing, does great
harm to the society that dispenses
this false justice, while permitting
the guilty to avoid a lifetime of
confinement and reflection upon
their crimes.
“The guilty have blood on their
hands,” the bishops said. “Let our
hands be clean.”

Rachel Stanley, senior at Bishop Carroll Catholic

High School, leads about 150 fellow members of
the God Squad in the Liturgy of the Hours. The
group meets every morning, Monday through Sat-
urday, during Lent to devote time and energy to
strengthening their spiritual life. The God Squad,
led by Father Jarrod Lies, has been in place for
five years. (Advance photo by Fred Solis.)

BC’s ‘God Squad’

getting pumped up
again this Lent
Students gather in the morning before school
in auditorium for a spiritual workout

By Fred Solis the idea on 1 Timothy, 4:7, which

Every morning during Lent
– Monday through Saturday –
teams of Bishop Carroll Catho-
lic High School students gather
in the school’s auditorium for
their spiritual workout. This
Lent marks the God Squad’s
fifth anniversary.
Initiated by Father Jarrod Lies,
the school’s chaplain, the squad’s
intent is “to take the training for
spiritual life as seriously as music,
sports or other things.” He based
encourages us to “train yourself
for devotion, for while physical
training is of limited value, devo-
tion is valuable in every respect,
since it holds a promise of life
both for the present and for the
future.”
Because Fr. Lies is so
involved in sports at the high
school, he adopted sports terms
for the God Squad’s activities.
There are “coaches” (chaplain
and teachers) who assist in orga-
nizing and arranging God Squad
events, and “captains” (students
who facilitate small groups) who
lead prayers and discussion.
Sunday is referred to as
“game day,” and the “arena” or
“court” is free will. “Studying
the playbook” means meditation
on scripture. Other translations
include “doin’ ropes” (praying
the Rosary), “scrimmage (daily
Mass) and “huddles” (student led
discussion groups).
Team designations carry
metaphors as well.
To be on the varsity team, a
student must attend “training
days” (daily activities) 80 per-
cent of the time. Junior varsity
members must participate 50
percent of the time, and C-team
members participate without
specific accountability. It’s
even possible to “letter” in God
Squad. Winning a Liturgy and
Spirituality letter signifies that
the student has made the varsity
squad two consecutive years.
Senior Rachel Stanley, a
captain, has been on the God
Squad for four years. She does
it “because it makes such an
impact on me and my spiritual
life,” she explained. “It would
be beneficial to continue while I
had the opportunity.”

agreement with Butler
WICHITA – Newman Univer-

who want to further their goals in
a four-year institution.
“Butler Community College
does a tremendous job of educat-
ing students in the Wichita area,
and we are proud to work in part-
flavors of Trappist jelly,” she said.
Sister Diana, development di-
rector for the ministry, said Lent
helps the faithful improve their
spiritual lives through prayer, pen-
ance, self-denial, and alms-giving.
“Buying our products helps
women break the cycle of abuse,”
she said. “Donations cover only a
small portion of our budget.”
Sister Diana added that there
are many items available online
and urged the faithful of the dio-
cese to visit the store or go online
to view their soups and speciality
items.
Purchases help women survi-

In Africa, pope says Gospel is
answer to continent’s problems
YAOUNDE, Cameroon
(CNS) — Arriving in Africa,
Pope Benedict XVI said the
church’s message of hope and
reconciliation was sorely need-
ed by a continent suffering dis-
proportionately from poverty,
conflict and disease.
At a welcoming ceremony
March 17 in Yaounde, the pope
said he was making his first visit
to Africa to respond to the many
men and woman who “long to
hear a word of hope and com-
fort.”
In Africans’ fight against in-
justice, he said, the church is
their natural ally.
“In the face of suffering or
violence, poverty or hunger,
corruption or abuse of power, a
Christian can never remain si-
lent,” the pope said.
The 81-year-old pontiff stood
on a platform at Yaounde’s air-
port next to Cameroonian Presi-
dent Paul Biya, who welcomed
the pope on a hot, humid after-
noon. Groups of schoolchildren
sang and cheered, waving paper
flags with the Vatican’s colors.
The pope said he came to
Africa as a pastor, not a politi-
March 20, 2009   11
cian, to a continent where the
saving message of the Gospel
needs to be “proclaimed loud
and clear.” The encounter with
Christianity, he said, can trans-
form situations of hardship or
injustice.
He cited the regional conflicts
in Africa that have left thou-
sands homeless, destitute and
orphaned, as well as human
trafficking that has become a
new form of slavery, especially
for women and children.
“At a time of global crisis in
food shortages, financial tur-
moil and disturbing patterns of
climate change, Africa suffers
disproportionately: More and
more of her people are falling
prey to hunger, poverty and dis-
ease. They cry out for reconcili-
ation, justice and peace, and that
is what the church offers them,”
he said.
“Not forms of economic or
political oppression, but the glo-
rious freedom of the children
of God. Not the imposition of
cultural models that ignore the
rights of the unborn, but the pure
healing water of the Gospel of
life,” he said.

El perdón es el
principio para
imitar a Jesús
Un mensaje de cuaresma
del Obispo Jackels
Por Obispo Jackels
“Éste es mi hijo amado” (Mar-
cos 9,7). Pedro, Santiago y Juan
oyeron una voz que provenía de una
nube que decía esto de Jesús. “Hijo
amado” es lo que es Jesús para Dios
Padre.
Esto es también lo que nosotros,
aquellos quienes profesan su fe en
Jesús y son bautizados, somos para
Dios. La misma voz diría de cada
uno de los bautizados, “éste también
es mi hijo amado”.
Hay, por supuesto, una diferencia
entre Jesús y sus seguidores. Jesús
es la Palabra encarnada de Dios, la
segunda Persona de la Santísima
Trinidad, el único Hijo engendrado
del Padre eterno.
Parroquias de Santa Rosa y San Antonio en Wellington se unifican
Nosotros, por
otro lado, somos
y seremos siem-
pre humanos.
Pero por virtud
de nuestra pro-
fesión de fe y
bautismo nos
convertimos en
una nueva cre-
Obispo ación y somos
Michael O. adoptados como
Jackels hijos de Dios.
La nueva
creación en la que nos convertimos
es … Jesús. San Pablo describe el
efecto de la profesión de fe y el ser
bautizado en términos de convertir-
nos en miembros del cuerpo de Cris-
to (ver I Corintios 12) y ser vestidos
con Cristo (ver Gálatas 3,27).
Así como nos referimos a los sac-
erdotes, un cristiano es otro Cristo.
Dios Padre ve a los cristianos como
hijos en el Hijo de Dios, Jesús. Esto
conlleva la misión de los cristianos:
conversión continua para imitar
cada vez más la mente y el corazón
de Jesús.
El camino rápido en la imitación
de Cristo es amar como Jesús amó
y a quien Jesús amó. Esto dijo Jesús
a sus discípulos: “Así como yo los
he amado, también ustedes deben
amarse los unos a los otros” (Juan
13,34). Una lectura rápida del evan-
gelio muestra claramente cómo
Jesús amaba en términos de perdón,
servicio y sacrificio.

El Obispo toma pasos prudentes en la visión de la campaña JUNTOS

La campaña especial de apelación a nivel
diocesano ha extendido su fase de preparación.
Una recesión económica duele.
Hemos perdido ahorros. He-
mos perdido trabajos. Hemos per-
dido negocios. Y las titulares los
periódicos continúan diciéndonos
que la economía va a empeorar
antes de mejorar.
Ahora es un tiempo difícil para
hablar de dinero. Sin embargo, las
conversaciones sobre dinero están
en todos lados, hasta en la iglesia.
El 4 de noviembre del 2008, el
Obispo Michael O. Jackels mandó
una carta a los fieles de la dióce-
sis sobre su decisión de seguir ad-
elante con la campaña especial de
apelación de fondos.
La intención de esta campaña
ha sido siempre más profunda que
la de una simple recaudación de
fondos. Es una visión para el crec-
imiento de nuestra diócesis.
Pero en ningún momento el
Obispo ha tomado la decisión de
continuar con esta visión con liger-
eza. En su carta, el Obispo Jackels
escribió sobre la Dirección Divina
que calmó sus miedos y le dio con-
fianza para seguir adelante.
“Esta decisión no fue tomada
sin tener sensibilidad por aquellos
afectados por la economía”, es-
cribió. “Al contrario, nos preocu-
pamos por la gente, especialmente
aquellos que están sufriendo”.
Pero desde noviembre la re-
cesión se ha hecho todavía más do-
lorosa y la compasión del Obispo
por aquellos que están sufriendo
en esta recesión es constante.
En diciembre del 2008 el
Obispo decidió extender la fase de
preparación de la campaña hasta
que los indicadores económicos
mostraran estabilidad.
A pesar de que todavía no sa-
bemos por cuánto tiempo más
tendremos que esperar, el Obispo
Jackels ha declarado que no queda
duda de si procederemos o no, sino
de cuándo se hará la invitación a
todos para hacer ese regalo que
implica sacrificio.
Las prioridades de esta campa-
ña especial están presentes, no de-

Obispo, mensaje de
cuaresma
Perdonar a todos por todo es el
comienzo para practicar nuestro
amor imitando a Jesús. El no querer
perdonar aunque sea a una sola
persona estropea nuestro parecido
a Cristo. Pero no es fácil perdonar;
nuestra naturaleza humana quiere
desquitarse. Por esto progresamos
gradualmente en nuestra imitación
del perdón de Jesús.
Comenzamos al aguantarnos sin
responder con daño al daño que nos
han hecho. Con el tiempo, como
fruto de nuestra imitación de Jesús,
encontraremos que podemos rezar
por las bendiciones de Dios por
medio de nuestros atormentadores,
y luego ayudarles cuando lo neces-
iten, y finalmente, hasta comportar-
nos como si el daño nunca hubiera
sucedido.
Jesús, manso y humilde de
corazón, haz mi corazón como el
Tuyo. Que así sea. Amén
Mercedes Villanueva, una inmi-
grante cubana desde 1960, enseña la
clase todos los lunes por la tarde a
cerca de 15 estudiantes quienes dice
que algunos de ellos saben algo de
español por haber tomado clases en
preparatoria o en la universidad.
Villanueva tiene un título uni-
versitario en español y en francés
y también sirve de voluntaria en
su propia parroquia, la Iglesia de
la Magdalena y en el Spiritual Life
Center.
Heather Welch, coordinadora de
publicidad para el Avance Católico
y una de las estudiantes en la clase
dijo: “La belleza y riqueza de las
culturas hispanas, incluyendo el
lenguaje, es algo que puede en-
riquecer mi vida. Mi meta es apren-
der suficiente vocabulario y con-
struir oraciones para servir a mis
vecinos hispanohablantes cuando
se presente la oportunidad”.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa
(CNS) — The Vatican has allowed
parishes in South Africa, Botswana
and Swaziland that have started us-
ing Vatican-approved Mass transla-
tions to continue to do so, after the
Southern African Catholic Bish-
ops’ Conference said it mistakenly
gave them the go-ahead.
The Congregation for Divine
Worship and the Sacraments “has
accepted the explanation” by
Archbishop Buti Tlhagale of Jo-
hannesburg, conference president,
“regarding the early implementa-
tion of the new translation,” said
secretary of the bishops’ confer-
ence and a member of the Society
of African Missions.
“The congregation has agreed
that the implementation continue,
along with continued catechesis ex-
plaining the changes,” the statement
said, noting that “this catechesis
should include preparation of music
for singing the new texts.”
For an application or further
information please contact the
Office of Youth & Young Adult
Ministries at (316) 269-3930, or
cdowk.org/offices/yyam/clay.htm
to download the CLAY applica-
tion. The priority deadline for ap-
plications is March 27.
Adults who work with youth
are also welcome as candidates.
