Chancery
administration receives overhaul,
new direction for 2004
 |
Deacon
Joseph A.Dwyer, Jr. |
By
Greg Tobin
Jesus
sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched
the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich
people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two
very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the
truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the
others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty,
put in everything—all she had to live on.”
—Mark
12: 41-44

for Administration by Archbishop John J. Myers became effective

| It's
a 'lifestyle' of gratitude
By Andrew Kaczynski
“The rule of no realm is mine, great or small. But all worthy
things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care.
And for my part I shall not wholly fail of my task, if anything
passes through this night that can still grow or bear fruit and
flower again in days to come. For I am also a steward. Did you not
know?” – From J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the
Rings: The Return of the King
Tolkien refers to the practice of good stewardship in this quote
from his legendary book, now an extremely popular trilogy of motion
pictures. In this passage, he writes of the importance of caring
for “worthy things” that are in need in hopes that the
love and care given will remove any problem or peril that exists.

Another
Holy Father rescues Rome from decline
By
Frank J. Korn
Throughout the early Middle Ages the city of Rome, as the seat of
the papacy, was the showpiece of Christianity and the goal of pilgrims.
Then came the year 1305 which drastically changed the fortunes of
the Eternal City. To fill the chair of St. Peter, left vacant by
the death of Benedict XI, the College of Cardinals turned, quite
surprisingly, to a Frenchman, Bertrand de Got, archbishop of Bordeaux.
Taking the name of Clement V, the new pope summoned churchmen and
other dignitaries to Lyons for his coronation. Thereafter he took
up residence in Avignon where he and his successors raised a lavish
fortress-like home overlooking the Rhone.
