PuLtyt Ncv,
Congratulations TO the newest Paulist!
Congratulations to UT and UCC alumnus Father
Jimmy Hsu, CSP, who was ordained to the priest-
hood last week, May 24 at 10:00 am by Bishop Joe
S. Vsquez of the Diocese of Austin. The ordination
took place at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in
New York City. Please pray for Father Hsu!
FR. ISAAC HECKER QUOTE
It is the will of God that we should leave
undone what we cannot do without trouble.
There is a point in the spiritual life when God
does most for us when we do the least for
ourselves. There are two shoals against which
we may make spiritual shipwreck: self-activity
and idleness. Freedom of spirit will guide
us safely between these. For without
interior freedom there can be no fidelity to
divine grace for this liberty is of God. As
Paul writes in Roman (8:15) For you have not received a spirit
that makes you a slave to fear, but you have received the spirit of
son-ship whereby we cry Abba Father.

All that the soul can ask, and what ought surely to be granted, is
to follow faithfully the invitations of grace and the impulses of
Gods Spirit. If the soul is guided by the Holy Spirit, it would not
do the least thing contrary to faith or the Church, for we are
taught inwardly by the Holy Spirit and outwardly by the holy
Church in the same grace. [Spiritual Notebook, 1854]
Fr. Isaac Hecker, Founder
of the Paulist Fathers
Fr. lyooc Hcckcr Qum
If you have asked Father Hecker to pray for you or for another person who
was ill, and you believe something miraculous has happened, please phone
Fr. Paul Robichaud, CSP, at (202) 269-2519 and tell him your story.
