On the way to attend Mass this morning, I happened to have been praying for ongoing success for the awesome City of Joliet Police Department in Joliet, Illinois in the United States of America. Grandpa Talkie was a Police Officer. So with the emotionalism of a characteristic Italian (our surname originally was "Tacchi," that was translated/Anglicized at the documenting of legal immigration over a century ago), I feel in my spirit an especially grateful sense of being uplifted at the very thought of the Police. This elevation intensifies in an authentically positive manner whenever I see a police car or meet a Police Officer anywhere. Naturally, however, having been born and raised in Joliet, the place that I shall always consider real "home," the City of Joliet Police Force holds a special place in my heart.
Upon reception of the Holy Eucharist, I included the City of Joliet Police Department, along with Police Officers throughout the country, asking the Blessed Mother and Saint Michael the Archangel (Patron Saint of Police) to please intercede to the Divine Trinity that these remarkably ennobled women and men continue to receive outpouring of graces, eminently the much-admired virtues of fortitude and keen discernment.

The complexities of interpreting Sacred Scripture in the Hebrew and Christian Traditions are obvious. Today, in the homily offered by Reverend Father John Kline, Pastor of Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church at 18 Woodlawn Ave. in Joliet, Il. in the United States of America, a clarification of how to circumvent these complexities or--perhaps more aptly--how to integrate the richness of "the new hermeneutic" into one's daily life, proved to have been enlightening. With candor, simplicity, and humility that I myself pray to be graced with one day, Reverend Father John, the Pastor, delved into that frequently intimidating subject of AUTHORITY.
Not always fond of how authority figures exercise power, I immediately prayed when I heard the word "authority," invoking the intercessory mediating of the Blessed Mother with her title "Star of the Sea"--for her same guidance that illumines the night skies for sailors. Fortunately (and this perception is not meant to reflect boastfulness), she granted me the grace to understand Father John's lucidity. In the Church, the Source of all authority was since Pentecost and remains exclulsively the Trinitarian God. During Jesus's ministry on earth, His revelation was a complete manifestation of consubstantiality with His Father, with Our Father. (Formerly, in the Creed, we would proclaim that the Lord is "of one in being with the Father").
Yet thankfully, this Son of Man/Son of God gave the Paraclete to us to make us holy after he died on the cross and during His remaining days on the earth after the Creator had raised him from death. Hence, the sanctification of humankind.
The magnficience of Father John's wonderfully erudite--and I repeat, SIMPLE--explication was his ingenius comparison of his very self to be totally subject to the Holy Trinity by means of obedience to the Church's Magiesterium when he serves as teacher, a ministerial role that is distinctive from when he celebrates the Eucharist. Now I understand how priests truly are "Persona Christi" when elevating the host and administering the Sacrament of Reconciliation. How ironic that Reverend Father John implied that conversion is indisputably life-changing, for his homily successfully stirred within the deepest recesses of my soul a yearning to grow ever expansively in reaching out to the world in Christian charity.
Now speechless (well, temporarily)...
