Is it not showing Bishop Zurek and Father Tony their due respect when I ask them whether they are basing everything they do in a spirit of sharing and fraternity, or are they simply seeking rest for themselves when they have pastoral projects canceled at St. Mary’s Cathedral❓
Shouldn’t St. Mary’s Cathedral base everything we do in a spirit of sharing and fraternity among ourselves and with our bishop; however, if in this spirit of sharing and fraternity I openly express that it is not taking Jesus’s yoke upon us and learning from Him when we have the principal and cafeteria manger of our Cathedral School, confessions, Totus Tuus, The Summer Conference, Daily Masses and now, diocesan participation in the National Eucharistic Congress canceled, then why am I told, “You are not showing the respect due to the ordained, and are actually demonstrating your hate for them, when you never have a favorable thing to say ; still, knowing that we are all anointed with spiritual grace to share in God’s kingdom and in priesthood, wouldn’t the disrespectful thing be finding rest for myself behind appearances of religiosity and even love for the Church, but in reality seeking, instead of the glory of the Lord, human glory and personal well-being;…
Doesn’t it seem that since Msgr Waldow, although St. Mary’s Cathedral has conceived and writhed in pain, we have only been giving birth to wind;…
… accordingly, while, “From heaven the Lord looks down on the earth”, can I say that His presence is as it was prior to Bishop Zurek being pastor;…
..Alleluia, alleluia;
subsequently, if I’m hearing Jesus say, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened with the yoke of Canon Law, complicated by Father Tony’s interpretation”, is it disrespectful to remind St. Mary’s Cathedral that Jesus invites the burdened to take the yoke of obedience to his word, and He will give us rest;
Alleluia, alleluia;…
…shouldn’t I speak openly reminding St. Mary’s that pastoral projects such as Daily Mass and The National Eucharistic Conference should not be considered as a commodity of Bishop Zurek and Father Tony, but rather a gift from God and from our ancestors who found rest at St. Mary’s, a sacred space with which they needed to interact if they were to maintain their identity and values; and, by this involving myself pastorally, am I not showing respect for my ancestors, my fellow parishioners and the ordained by taking Jesus’s yoke in order to find rest for myself❓
