FROM FR. MATT’S DESK JUNE 9, 2019 This week, we have an account of miracles and a miraculous dog from Philip Kosloski of Aleteia. In the Acts of the Apostles, the disciples of Jesus are able to perform amazing miracles with the power of the Holy Spirit. Does that still happen? Sometimes when we look at the world around us, we are tempted to think that the Holy Spirit is no longer here. St. Josemaria Escriva in a homily titled “The Great Unknown” reflects on that question, But what if people should ask, ‘Where is the Holy Spirit now? We can talk of his presence when the miracles took place, when the dead were raised and the lepers were healed. But how are we to know that he is truly present now?’ He responds by writing, If we had a strong faith, a living faith, if we were bold in making Christ known to others, we would see with our own eyes miracles such as those that took place in the time of the apostles. Today, too, the blind who have lost the ability to look up to heaven and contemplate the wonderful works of God recover their sight. The lame and the crippled who have been bound by their passions, and whose hearts have forgotten love recover their freedom. The deaf who did not want to know God are given back their hearing. The dumb whose tongues were bound because they did not want to acknowledge their destroyed life come to life again. While it’s true that we don’t hear about physical healings on a daily basis, countless spiritual miracles do in fact occur if we have the eyes to see. They may not be as striking or “exciting” as those miracles that occurred in the Acts of the Apostles, but they are certainly more enduring. Let us remember that the Holy Spirit is still with us and can make a profound impact on our own lives and the lives of those we know and love. Spiritual conversions and healings reveal to us the power and love of God and reassure us that he is there, ready to enter our heart and transform us if we would only allow it. During the 11th century, St. Bernard of Montjoux established a hospice and monastery in the most dangerous part of the western Alps. He initially went there to evangelize the people who lived on the Alps, but soon established hospices to shelter pilgrims who were on their way to Rome. Many lives were saved by St. Bernard and his monks, who have remained on the Alps to assist travelers and climbers up to the present day. By the 17th century these monks made use of a particular breed of dogs who were experts at sniffing out humans and whose strength allowed them an extraordinary ability to help those in dire need. These dogs were named “St. Bernards” in honor of the saint who established the monasteries there. For many decades these dogs helped save lives and there was one dog in particular who has become a legend in the Alps. His name was “Barry” and he lived in the monastery from 1800-1812. Local records claim he saved more than 40 people from death, finding them and taking them to safety. One story recounts how one day during a terrible storm, Barry found a child asleep in a frozen cavern of ice. Barry licked the young boy to awaken him. Then the young boy grabbed hold of the dog, who carried the boy on his back to the monastery. The boy was brought back to full health and returned to his parents. The monks continued to use dogs for many decades, until the arrival of newer technology, such as helicopters. The monastery is still very active and assists travelers who trek up the Alpine mountains. -Fr. Matthew Nemchausky
