Diocese cautions social media users to be aware of scammers impersonating bishop

An increasing number of social media accounts posing as Bishop Earl Fernandes are targeting individuals online and requesting money.

“We were made aware of several social media accounts that were impersonating him, asking people directly for money, or to do personal favors, directly through messages,” said Andrew Zuk, the associate director for the Office of Communications.

“We’ve reported it. We’ve asked anybody who sees these accounts to report them and to not click any links that they might have.”

The fake social media accounts appear to be targeting older adults or retirees, he said. Actors also often prey on individuals with perceived less technology experience.

Zuk said social media accounts impersonating Bishop Fernandes have posted “general, positive Christian messages.” Sometimes, accounts will send such messages directly to an individual.

Accounts posing as the bishop might also send individuals online a “friend request,” Zuk said.

“They will hook people in by sending a general, positive message, and then, after that, saying, ‘I need money now, personally; here’s this link to gift cards. Could you send me a wire transfer?’

“Typically, it’s in the thousands-of-dollars range, and it’s a message of urgency, which is typical among fraudulent accounts. They’ll make a sense of urgency – a false sense of urgency – to whomever they’re trying to scam so that person acts quickly and doesn’t have enough time to think about it.”

Individuals who encounter such accounts online are encouraged to flag and report them. Facebook offers a reporting function, Zuk said, that enables a social media user to report another user’s account profile.

Facebook offers several reporting options. These include reporting an account for being fake, spam, presenting false information or inciting harm to other people.

Bishop Fernandes’ official accounts online are Facebook.com/Bishop.Earl.Fernandes and Instagram.com/BishopEarlKFernandes.

The Diocese of Columbus announced the bishop’s official accounts on the “Columbus Catholic” Facebook and Instagram pages – Facebook.com/cbuscatholic and Instagram.com/columbuscatholics – so individuals can verify them. The official Diocese of Columbus social media accounts will post messages from the bishop’s official accounts on their pages.

Zuk offered tips to help recognize fake social media accounts online. He encouraged social media users to check for incorrect spelling and grammar, and check if a person’s name on a social media account is spelled correctly.

“I want to emphasize that fraudulent accounts that are impersonating somebody like Bishop Fernandes will typically pressure somebody to take action, whether it’s giving personal information, asking for money or meeting in person,” he said.

Official accounts, he said, will not directly ask an individual online to click a link, request thousands of dollars or a wire transfer from them, or ask to meet publicly in a short amount of time. He said official accounts will also not make unusual requests.

He encouraged individuals to report such accounts and contact the Diocese of Columbus in the event of receiving an odd request online from an individual who appears to be a diocesan employee.

In the event that threats are made online, individuals should dial 911.

Only a few years ago it was revealed that 69 percent of Catholics no longer believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. This disturbing statistic led the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to initiate a Eucharistic Revival. This July 17th to July 21st, thousands of Catholics will flock to Indianapolis for the National Eucharistic Congress. Although the above statistic is shocking to many, it would not have been to St. Peter Julian Eymard, “the Apostle of the Eucharist.” He also lived in a time of Eucharistic disbelief, during nineteenth-century France. Here is what he had to say:

Alas! It is but too true: our Lord in the most Blessed Sacrament is not loved! He is not loved by the millions of pagans, by the millions of Jews and infidels, by the millions of schismatics and heretics who either know nothing of the Eucharist or have wrong notions of it.

Even among Catholics, few, very few love Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. How many think of Him frequently, speak of Him, come to adore Him and receive Him? What is the reason for this forgetfulness and coldness? Oh! They have never tasted the Eucharist, its sweetness, the delights of its love!1

French Catholic Philosopher León Bloy once said that “the only real sadness, the only real failure, the only great tragedy in life is not to become a saint.” This is really the second greatest tragedy. The greatest tragedy in life is that Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is not loved. Yes, very few Catholics love Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Even St. Francis of Assisi, one of the greatest lovers of the Holy Eucharist, recognized this truth in his day. He proclaimed frequently throughout the countryside, “Love is not loved! Love is not loved!” Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is not loved by the world and is not loved enough by us!

One of the root causes for our Eucharist indifference is that “we ignore or do not sufficiently look into the sacrifices made by His love for our sake,”2 according to St. Peter Julian Eymard. To spur us onto gratitude, we must remember that “it cost our Savior the whole Passion to institute the Eucharist.”3 Let me repeat that it again…it cost Jesus every drop of blood to give us the Holy Eucharist! “What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!”

Specifically, Jesus’ agony in the garden, His crowning of thorns, His scourging at the pillar, His carrying of the Cross, His abandonment by His closest friends, and His most brutal hanging on the Cross were done to show me His love, which is perpetuated in the Holy Eucharist until the end of the world. Our Lord died for each of us, so that we could receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. He sought nothing for Himself and yet we have loved Him so little.

If we treated our human friends the way we treated the Holy Eucharist, we would have very few. We rarely visit or think about the Holy Eucharist because we don’t have time. When we are before our Eucharistic Lord, we seldom listen, but always do the talking. We ask Him to give us things, but rarely do we ask Him what He needs. Sadly, we do not seek to console His wounds but instead ask that He consoles ours. Our love is cold, impatient, and selfish. During Mass or our Holy Hour, we are frequently distracted and anxious about our future tasks. And yet, our best friend, our Eucharistic Lord, never leaves us and blesses our imperfect love. He looks with infinite love on us, lavishes copious graces, and makes excuses for us before the Heavenly Father by offering His wounds.

Jesus remains a prisoner in the tabernacle, waiting at every moment for our visits. The length of time does not matter to the Lord—He just wants to see us. And yet, we are the ones who are truly imprisoned. We are imprisoned by our own fears, insecurities, sufferings, sorrows, selfishness, and sins. If only we would visit Jesus more often, we would begin to taste the sweetness and delights of Heaven, for only the Holy Eucharist can fulfill the deepest desires of our hearts. Only the Holy Eucharist can answer the deepest questions and problems that our world faces.

Although millions of souls do not love the Holy Eucharist, our love can make reparation for them. Let us love the Holy Eucharist with an even greater ardor for those whose hearts have become forgetful and cold toward Him.

“The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and those who nourish themselves with this honey produce sweet fruit.” - St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), Doctor of the Church

Born in Lisbon, St. Anthony of Padua was a Portuguese Catholic priest and a Franciscan friar. He was known for his excellent preaching skills and spent most of his life traveling and preaching to crowds in Italy and France. Anthony was also devoted to the poor and infirm and performed many miracles. One such miracle was his praying for his stolen book of Psalms to return. Not only did he get the book back, but the thief had a conversion of heart and joined the Franciscan Order.

His patronage includes lost souls, lost people, lost items, faith in the Blessed Sacrament miracles, travelers, finding one's spouse, pregnancy, harvests, animals, poverty, the sick, the disabled, the oppressed, the hungry, the elderly, sailors, fishermen, swineherds, and mail carriers.

St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us!

Sometimes, God asks you to wait.
To quiet your heart.
To simply be still.
To let Him go to work.
In a way you could never imagine.

Sometimes, it feels as though God doesn't hear your prayers.
You pray.
And pray.
And pray again.
With seemingly no response.

Time suddenly feels like it's running out.
Hope begins to fade, as does your trust in Him.
Sometimes, it seems as though God has forgotten you.
Abandoned you.
Left without saying "goodbye".
Hidden in plain sight.

As you frantically search for any sign of Him.
And your heart screams for Him to remember you.
Wondering if He even remembers you.

It can be so unbelievably hard to be patient, especially when you are too preoccupied in worry and in your own plans; when your entire being is fighting against the waiting, to instead push forward with life, full-steam ahead.

And yet, what He asks of you never wavers: "Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for Him." (Psalm 37:7)

The entire concept of waiting goes against everything the world puts before us.....right now.....immediate.....on-demand...

Being human, and so incredibly connected to our human world, it is almost impossible to go against the grain, and stop yourself from running, full-force ahead...toward your own worldly plans.

Yet, what if.....what if God's plan is for you TO WAIT ON HIM?

What if.....you pursued God's heart even more, and realized, that more often than not, the waiting is not only a time that brings forth unexpected blessings, but also helps you to plant your deepest roots of faith, if you simply allow them to grow in Him?

What if.....this time of waiting is actually an integral part of God's plan for you? To refresh you, to teach you, to guide you, and especially, to prepare you for HIS future for you?
Waiting on God, and His timing, can be so incredibly hard and uncomfortable. But, it can also be so, so very worth it, if you can reteach yourself to allow it to be just that...a time to grow, a time to renew...a time to prepare and hopefully expect.

For, it is how you handle your times of waiting that truly shows those around you just exactly in Whom you place your trust and hope. For, when you trust in Him, He will not fail to give you all the courage, tolerance and patience you need.

Because, if you truly believe in Him, you can also believe in His goodness. In His faithfulness. In His covenants. And in His perfect, great and true plans for each one of us.

" ‘For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' " (Jeremiah 29:11)

In your times of waiting, may you never forget to glorify the same exact Father Who created you...fearfully and wonderfully made, you...from mere dust.....every fiber of your being.....every hair on your head.....every single beat of your heart...

For His goodness will always endure. He loves you with a love we can only imagine.
And within that love, He provides you with seasons of waiting. It remains up to you to perceive them as either a gift, or as a burden; trusting in Him and His bountiful blessings, even when your circumstances seem out of your control and not in your favor.

Heavenly Father,
I trust in You. Please remind me that trusting in You means to fully surrender, not just when life is easy and pleasant. "As for me, I trust in You, Lord. You are my God. My life is in Your hands." (Psalm 31:14-15).
Amen ♥️

Born in the Kingdom of Buganda in Uganda, St. Charles Lwanga (1860-1886) converted to Catholicism at a time when the king, Mwanga, was hostile towards Christians and the growing desire of his people wanting to convert to Christianity.

Charles became the King's Chief Page after the previous page was beheaded for rebuking the king for ordering the murder of a visiting Anglican Bishop. Charles defended younger pages from King Mwanga's pedophilic advances and was ordered to be executed. While his feet were being burned at the stake he was asked once more to renounce his faith. Charles stated in refusal, "You are burning me, but it is as if you are pouring water over my body." Charles was then executed along with twenty-two others after the king further learned that many of his pages were preparing for baptism.

St. Charles Lwanga is the patron saint of African Catholic Youth Action, converts, and torture victims.

St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, pray for us!

The Eucharist: Corpus Christi?
MARCELLINO D'AMBROSIO, PH.D.

The Catholic Church teaches the doctrine of transubstantiation, namely, that in the Eucharist, the communion wafer and the altar wine are transformed and really become the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Have you ever met anyone who has found this Catholic doctrine to be a bit hard to take?

If so, you shouldn’t be surprised. When Jesus spoke about eating his flesh and drinking his blood in John 6, his words met with less than an enthusiastic reception. How can this man give us his flesh to eat? (V 52). This is a hard saying who can listen to it? (V60). In fact so many of his disciples abandoned him over this that Jesus had to ask the twelve if they also planned to quit. It is interesting that Jesus did not run after his disciples saying, Don’t go, I was just speaking metaphorically!

How did the early Church interpret these challenging words of Jesus? Interesting fact. One charge the pagan Romans lodged against the Christians was cannibalism. Why? You guessed it. They heard that this sect regularly met to eat and drink human blood. Did the early Christians say: wait a minute, it’s only a symbol!? Not at all. When trying to explain the Eucharist to the Roman Emperor around 155 AD, St. Justin did not mince his words: “For we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink; but as Jesus Christ our Sav¬ior being incarnate by God’s word took flesh and blood for our salvation, so also we have been taught that the food consecrated by the word of prayer which comes from him . . . is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus.

Not many Christians questioned the real presence of Christ’s body and blood in the Eucharist till the Middle Ages. In trying to explain how bread and wine are changed into the body and blood of Christ, several theologians went astray and needed to be corrected by Church authority. Then St. Thomas Aquinas came along and offered an explanation that became classic. In all change that we observe in this life, he teaches, appearances change, but deep down, the essence of a thing stays the same.

Example: if, in a fit of mid-life crisis, I traded my mini-van for a Ferrari, abandoned my wife and 5 kids to be beach bum, got tanned, bleached my hair blonde, spiked it, buffed up at the gym, and took a trip to the plastic surgeon, I’d look a lot different on the surface. But for all my trouble, deep down I’d still substantially be the same old baby boomer.

St. Thomas said the Eucharist is the one instance of change we encounter in this world that is exactly the opposite. The appearances of bread and wine stay the same, but the very essence or substance of these realities, which can’t be detected by a microscope, is totally transformed. What was once bread and wine are now Christ’s body and blood. A handy word was coined to describe this unique change. Transformation of the sub-stance, what stands-under the surface, came to be called transubstantiation.

What makes this happen? The power of God’s Spirit and Word. After praying for the Spirit to come (epiklesis), the priest, who stands in the place of Christ, repeats the words of the God-man: This is my Body, This is my Blood. Sounds to me like Genesis 1: the mighty wind (read Spirit) whips over the surface of the water and God’s Word resounds. Let there be light and there was light. It is no harder to believe in transubstantiation than to believe in Creation.

But why did Jesus arrange for this transformation of bread and wine? Because he intended another kind of transformation. The bread and wine are transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ which are, in turn, meant to transform us. Ever hear the phrase: you are what you eat? The Lord desires us to be transformed from a motley crew of imperfect individuals into the Body of Christ, come to full stature.

Our evangelical brethren often speak of an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus. But I ask you, how much more personal and intimate can you get? We receive the Lord’s body into our physical bodies that we may become him whom we receive!
Such an awesome gift deserves its own feast. And that’s why, back in the days of Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis of Assisi, the Pope decided to institute the Feast of Corpus Christi.

Scripture Speaks: Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
GAYLE SOMERS
On this first Sunday after Pentecost, the Church calls us to remember the Most Holy Trinity. Why is this perfect timing?
Gospel (read Mt 28:16-20)
Ever since the first day of Advent, the Church has been liturgically moving us through the history of the One Life that changes all our lives. Christianity is a religion with a footprint within human history. From the beginning, God revealed Himself to mankind in time and space. This revelation was slow, and it came in stages. The formation of the nation of Israel revealed that there was no other god in heaven or earth beside Yahweh, the God Who entered a covenant with flesh and blood people to make them His own. The history of Israel revealed that God’s people could not keep faith with Him. The Incarnation revealed that God has a Son Whom He sent to deliver from weakness both Israel and all of lost mankind. The Resurrection and Ascension revealed that the Son was victorious in His mission. Pentecost revealed that the purpose of the Son’s work of deliverance was to form a new humanity, born not of the will of the flesh but of God. When the Son ascended to the Father’s right hand, God sent the Holy Spirit upon the apostles to fully initiate them into the New Covenant—to live with God forever, in the same way the Father and Son abide together. Right away, the apostles began to extend to others what they had received. The Church was born.
Now, the historical revelation of God is complete. We don’t know all we want to know about Him, but we know all we need to know. That is why, today, we pause to contemplate a mystery that was revealed while all these historical events were unfolding, in time and space. That mystery is that God is a communion of Persons, the Blessed Three in One. What difference does this make to us?
To begin to answer that question, we should pay attention to our lectionary readings. First, we see that in the Gospel, Jesus’ commission to the apostles is, “Go… and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Because He completed the work His Father gave Him to do (making salvation possible for all humanity), the Father gave “all power in heaven and on earth” into His hands. Likewise, Jesus gives this same work over to His Church. On Pentecost, the apostles received the power to make salvation possible, by preaching the Good News of Jesus. What would be the content of that message? They would announce to the world that, because of Jesus, God’s original intention in creating mankind (“let Us make man in our image,” see Gn 1:26) can now be realized. By baptizing believers in the Triune Name of God, the Church declares that we can share the life of the “Us” who have always desired our fellowship. Mere mortals can now live divine life! That is why Jesus tells the apostles to teach the world “to observe all that I have commanded you.” The life Jesus teaches us to live is supernatural—a life of love lived in the power of Love Itself. This is what we were designed to do. The “Us” at Creation built this into us. Now, as we have liturgically remembered all the historical events making it possible, we spend this Sunday cherishing the revelation of the “Us,” and that we are “Us,” now, too.
Amazing, isn’t it?
Possible response: Blessed Trinity, thank You for all that You have done in history to welcome me into Your fellowship.
First Reading (Read Dt 4:32-34, 39-40)
Amazed is what we should be on Trinity Sunday, as we contemplate all that God has revealed to us about Himself in salvation history. In this reading, we have an opportunity to see another occasion of human amazement over revelation God has made to mortals like us. See how Moses can barely restrain himself as he expresses his amazement over the first stage of God’s revelation within time and space: “Ask now of the days of old, before your time, ever since God created man upon the earth; ask from one end of the sky to the other: Did anything so great ever happen before? Was it ever heard of? Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking… and live?” Moses simply can’t find words enough to describe the awe the Israelites should experience for God’s revelation of Himself in their midst. God had made it abundantly clear to His people that none of the so-called gods of Egypt could prevent Him from delivering His people from bo***ge there. Thus, the first stage of revelation was accomplished: “The Lord is God in the heavens above and on earth below…there is no other.” Then, just as Jesus did when He confirmed the full revelation of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in our Gospel reading, Moses exhorted the people to live as God had directed in His “statutes and commandments.” That kind of life is the one that prospers. That is the life for which we are made.
So, long before Israel learned about the Trinity, they knew about God the Father—their Father. God is One. Nothing has changed that. In time, in space, mankind then learned that God is One in Three Persons. In ancient polytheistic religions, it was thought that many gods inhabited the universe, each with its own story and cultic following. There could be rivalry and petulant competition among them. The first stage of God’s revelation had to establish the Oneness of God. The final stage established the Three-in-Oneness of God, a perfect unity. He is a Communion Who invites us into communion.
Let’s use Moses’ words to respond to this: “Did anything so great ever happen before?”
Possible response: Blessed Trinity, to know that You are a Communion of love helps me understand why my own vocation is love, too. Please help me live it today.
Psalm (Read Ps 33:4-6, 9, 18-20, 22)
This psalm praises many of God’s characteristics, but one is especially evident: kindness. It is in three of its four stanzas. Interestingly, in the one stanza not containing the word “kindness,” we see a muted foreshadowing of the Trinity: “By the word [Jesus] of the Lord the heavens were made; by the breath [the Holy Spirit] of His mouth all their host.” The psalmist would not have known that he was actually describing the Three-in-Oneness of God. He simply wanted to extol God’s rich kindness to His people. Now, in our time, we can understand the full meaning of that kindness, revealed most vividly in the Trinity. Knowing this, we can say about ourselves what our responsorial acclaims: “Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be His own.”
Possible response: The psalm is, itself, a response to our other readings. Read it again prayerfully to make it your own.
Second Reading (Read Rom 8:14-17)
St. Paul gives us a very simple, practical description of the believer’s relationship with the Trinity. It is one thing to know that God is Father, Son, and Spirit, but we might still wonder: how does that affect me? St. Paul says it is the Spirit Who makes us “sons of God.” We know He is present in us when, in times of trial or difficulty, we find that our deepest heart response is to cry out to God, “Abba, Father!” Without the Spirit, the same difficulty would make us shrink back away from God in fear, as a slave would fear his master. When we have been baptized into the Holy Spirit, we may still have fear, of course, but our fear drives us to and not away from God. The Spirit’s work is to assure us that we are God’s children, that He loves us, that we are as dear to Him as is Jesus. To confirm this, St. Paul says we are “joint heirs with Christ.” What did Christ, the Son, “inherit” from His Father? God gave all power in heaven and on earth to Him. In baptism, we, too “inherit” this kingdom from the Father. Here we see the whole Trinity at work in our lives: God (our Father), Jesus (our Brother), and the Spirit (making our “adoption” concrete and real in our souls).
Notice that St. Paul says that all this is ours “if only we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.” What’s this all about? This exhortation is not much different in substance from what both Jesus and Moses said in our other readings. Upon acknowledging a revelation of truth about God, they urged God’s people to “observe the commandments” as a response to the great work of God on our behalf. Obedience to God is the key to a blessed life. We know that to obey God means not to obey ourselves. To do God’s will is not to do our own. Jesus invited His followers to take up their crosses and follow Him through self-denial (a kind of death, certainly a kind of suffering). Because of our baptism, we have the grace to actually do this now.
The path to life with the Trinity—the life for which we were designed, made possible for us through the loving work of the Trinity—is a path of dying and rising. Where does this path take us? Glory! Let us not shrink back in fear.
Possible response: Abba, Father! Into Your hands I commend my spirit.
