Meditation
By: Father Vincent Nguyen, CSC, Associate Pastor
Hello everyone! This week is an important week for the Congregation of Holy Cross because we are celebrating the feast day of one of our patrons. The Universal Church celebrates the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14th, but that is not the day that I am referring to. I am referring to Our Lady of Sorrows, which is a Memorial on the calendar for the Universal Church. However, because Mary, under the title Our Lady of Sorrows, is a patron for the Congregation of Holy Cross, we celebrate that day as a solemnity. The title Our Lady of Sorrows refers to the Seven Sorrows that Mary received during her life on Earth. The first sorrow, the prediction of Jesus’ life from Simeon, is where we hear that “you yourself a sword will pierce.” (Luke 2:35)
The other Sorrows of Mary are: The Flight into Egypt; The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple; Mary meets Jesus Carrying the Cross; Mary at the Foot of the Cross; Mary receives the Body of Jesus in her arms; The Burial of Jesus.
One way to meditate on these Sorrows is through the Chaplet of Our Lady of Sorrows. It consists of reflecting upon the sorrow and then praying one Our Father and seven Hail Marys before reflecting on the next sorrow. After reflecting upon all of the Sorrows, the Chaplet concludes by praying three Hail Marys. I encourage everyone to pray this Chaplet when we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lady of Sorrows this Tuesday, Sept. 15, at 6:30 pm, with a special Mass and a light reception to follow. I hope to see everyone there.
Prayer for a New Bishop
Almighty and ever-living God, in your faithfulness, grant to the Diocese of Colorado Springs a shepherd whose watchful care and kindly zeal will continue the good work of his predecessors.
In your love for us, give us a shepherd who will lead us in being Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice. Let him who is chosen to be our shepherd strive to live more and more each day with holiness of life and heroic virtue so that he will lead your holy people in all truth.
Prepare him, we humbly pray, to fill our minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to actively work to build up your holy Church.
Loving God, grant our Holy Father Pope Leo wisdom in discernment as he chooses a new bishop for this local Church. By your divine providence, grant us a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, whose benevolent care and zealousness will strengthen the people of God.
We ask this through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, and in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
