On Prayer: The Reality of Spiritual Discouragement
Dear Holy People of God,
Warm Gree ngs in Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Happy Pentecost to you all. May the Holy Spirit renew the face of the earth. May
the Holy Spirit renew our parish family of Ste. Anne's. Permit me con nue with you, our catechesis on Prayer. Last week, we talked
about the rela onship between Faith and Prayer. Essen ally, I made the argument that Prayer flows from Faith, that is, to trust God
with my problems, my challenges, my difficul es. I lamented the divorce between Prayer and the other aspects of life, in which God is
seen as having li le to do with what are our daily concerns, such as educa on, food, shelter, spouse to marry, fidelity to our Chris an
life and tradi on, the type of friends to hang out with, the type of persons to date, re rement savings, my finances, fun, sports and
recrea on, summer vaca on, etc.
My argument last week was: If I believe that God has become a human being in Christ Jesus, and that God has entered my history
(and the Word became flesh), then I won't see God as distant from my daily concerns about life, economic, social, poli cal, etc. God
cannot be excluded from any longitude or la tude (St. John Paul II). Hence, not to create me for prayer is an indica on that even
though I might not be an atheist, my unsaid convic on is that God has li le to do with the prac cal issues of my life. In effect, God is a
theore cal being, good, but not really interested or concerned with the things, li le and great, that I have to deal with. This is the
a tude that shapes many today, and this, in my opinion, explains why many a young person, a er Confirma on, "disappear" from
the life of the Church, only to "reappear" again at weddings, bap sms, funerals, and for some, Christmas and Easter. But God cannot
be contented with only a few days in a year's rela onship. The Bible shows us that God is interested, every day, in what happens to
us. And God wants to be a part of our lives.
At the root of why many tend to abandon the life of prayer lies spiritual discouragement. Many young people begin their adult
spiritual lives eager to follow Jesus - sequila Chris - as St. Igna us of Loyola teaches us in the Spiritual Exercises. But along the way -
as we read in the Parable of the Sower - the cares of life and the challenges of this world make them fall away from the faith. And it is
not just the case regarding the young. Even adults fall away from the faith. The spiritual lives just stop making sense to many. There is
no warmth. The spiritual life no longer makes sense, no longer offers any meaningful support to the issues they were facing at the
me.
To be honest with you, I do not have an easy answer to this dilemma. There is no one-size-fits-all solu on. People are at different
points and stages in the spiritual journey - Jesus tells us, in the parable in which the owner of the vineyard calls people at different
hours to work in his vineyard. Perhaps the example of St. Paul could be an inspira on to us, when we feel discouraged about the
spiritual journey: "(...) I have been sent to prison more o en, and whipped so many mes more, o en almost to death. Five mes I
had the thirty-nine lashes from the Jews; three mes I have been beaten with s cks; once I was stoned; three mes I have been ship-
wrecked and once adri in the open sea for a night and a day. Constantly travelling, I have been in danger from rivers and in danger
from brigands, in danger from my own people and in danger from pagans; in danger in the towns, in danger in the open country,
danger at sea and danger from so-called brothers. I have worked and laboured, o en without sleep; I have been hungry and thirsty
and o en starving; I have been in the cold without clothes. And, to leave out much more, there is my daily preoccupa on: my anxiety
for all the churches" (1 Corinthians 11:23-28).
Dear Holy People of God, beloved children of God, the life of Paul of Tarsus should serve as an inspira on to us when those moments
of discouragement come. Paul faced tough mes. He went through what many of us would not wish, even for those we dislike. And
yet, Paul never abandoned the spiritual journey. Towards the end of his life, as an old man in prison awai ng capital punishment, Paul
would write to Timothy: "I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy
4:7). Paul did not give up. And Jesus too did not give up on Paul.
And this brings me to an aspect of the life of Prayer that is a common jus fica on that people have for abandoning the life of prayer
and the spiritual life, namely, "what's the point of praying, of a ending Holy Mass, of daily Bible Reading, daily Rosary, when I s ll sin;
when I s ll find myself falling into the same tempta on. Nothing seems to change, so what is the point of prayer, if nothing changed?"
In other words, the rela onship between our moral weaknesses and the life of prayer. (To be con nued, Fr. Maurice).

Ste. Anne’s Parish Summer Children Youth Camp 2021
Theme: Love One Another | Date : August 9-13, 9am - 12noon | Venue: Ste. Anne's Parish Church, Parish Centre and Adjacent Yards

be serving children entering Grades 1-6 in the 2021-2022 Academic School Year. We are ac vely seeking as volunteers: teachers,
nurses, and catechists to assist us as we develop and implement this new program. Volunteerism is necessary for this program to
launch. If you or someone you know is interested in being a volunteer, please reach out to Carmen Ochoa at ochoa335bc@gmail.com,
or Lourdelyn Valsote at lourdelyn.valsote@stannesalem.org. (Fr. Maurice)
Grand Annual Collec on
Dear Holy People, once again, thank you very much for all who support our parish financially. As you know, our Grand Annual is an
integral part of our parish budget. We are behind now in terms of budget because many are yet to catch up on the Grand Annual. I
wish to take this opportunity to plead with all to kindly consider dona ng to the Grand Annual. I cannot overemphasize the importance
of the Grand Annual to our day-to-day running of the parish, especially given that many are yet to return to Sunday Mass, and few
think of sending their weekly dona ons to the parish. Please, kindly consider making a contribu on to our parish Grand Annual, which
is the spiritual equivalent of the Biblical Harvest Thanksgiving. Thank you that you are able to help.
Congolese Community
Dear Holy People of God, at the request of the Archdiocese of Boston, and following discussions within the Pastoral Council of Ste.
Anne's, our parish community, star ng weekend of July 11, 2021, will be welcoming a new community, the Congolese Community.
Their liturgy will take place every First and Third Sundays, 1pm, and Second and Fourth Sundays, 4pm, in the French Language. All
who want to celebrate the liturgy in French are very much welcome. Bishop Mark will be coming for the inaugural liturgy, Sunday, July
11, 4pm. I have asked Sr. Pauline For n and Mr. Paul Bosse to help out with the liturgy in the French liturgy, serving as a link with the
Congolese Community liturgical team. May this new community be a source of enrichment for our parish community. A hearty
welcome to the Congolese Community. (Fr. Maurice).
Fr. Casmia and Fr. Morris celebrated daily Mass at the Gro o in honor of our Blessed Mother Mary, whom we honor
during the month of May. Weather permi ng, 9AM Mass will be celebrated at the Gro o on Tuesday, May 25th.
Signs will be posted at the entrances of the Church that Mass will be held at the Gro o.
