St. Raphael, Bishop S M T W Th F S S M T W Th F S “ God’s first gift to mankind is that of speech. It differentiates us from the dumb animals. Speech
of Brooklyn has developed in different ways among different peoples, yet it receives its true direction when
1 1 2 3 4 5
directed towards the confession of the grandeur, the magnificence, and the glory of God; when
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 mankind in prayer offers the ‘fruits of its lips’ to the Lord God. This is the origin of private,
domestic, and communal prayer. It is the origin of mutual edification through writing and reading,
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
through scholarship and preaching, both when the Church gathers and when the parish schools

lies here. Here they are taught to construct temples both physical and pastoral. Piety, fraternity, the
bond of love, and sacrifice all have their foundations laid here. The theological school is the crown
of the creation of a Local Church. It places her in alignment with the apostles, prophets, fathers and
teachers of the Church of Christ. Here the Savior’s words come true. ‘You are like light for the whole
