Bishop Olmsted ordains three men to the priesthood
By Ambria Hammel | June 5, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
For the the third straight year, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained three men to the priesthood.
The bishop conferred the sacrament of Holy Orders on transitional deacons Matt Henry, Chad King and John Parks at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral.
"Seeing the love of the people for their priests [during the procession] gives us such a witness of their love and support," Fr. King said after the ordination.
Fr. Henry said the laying on of hands by the bishop was a special moment.
"My only part was just to say yes to that," he said, referring to the prayer of ordination.
Fr. Parks also noted the laying on of hands.
"I just felt that I was being reconfigured in my person," he said. Fr. Parks also mentioned receiving the Eucharist during the orination.
"I was just struck once again that God becomes the Eucharist for us," he said, underscoring God's humility.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted said all three priests know well the challenges that the Church faces today, including the shortcomings of its members, “but without losing heart, they are ready and eager to be faithful priests of the Lord Jesus” and convincingly share the faith.
“The three men I have the honor to ordain this year are quite different in personality but united by a deep love for the Lord Jesus, and an eagerness to hand on the good news of Christ in convincing ways,” Bishop Olmsted said in an interview prior to the June 5 ordination.
"From this day forward the people of God will call you 'father,' because you will love people in His name," the bishop told the new priests. He encouraged them to listen to confessions with compassion and called them to defend the unborn and the immigrant.
All three priests cited their involvement in youth ministry in the Phoenix Diocese as part of their discernment process.
Each newly ordained will celebrate their first Mass at their home parish June 6. The Mass times are staggered so the new priests can support each other from the pew.
Phoenix’s three new priests fit right in with the 440 men awaiting priestly ordination nationwide.
Of the 339 diocesan and religious ordinands who responded to the survey by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, 72 percent are Caucasian. Half to three-quarters served in some parish ministry before entering the seminary.
More than half are between the ages of 25 and 34, roughly the same as last year. The median age of this year’s ordinands nationally is 33 with Fr. Henry, who turns 26 shortly, being the youngest nationally.

The notion that Forex trading is somehow mysterious and confusing is a popular misconception. That myth only proves true for individuals who do not bother doing their research before trading. In the following paragraphs, you'll find tips that will assist you in achieving foreign exchange success.
You should never trade Forex with the use of emotion. This reduces your risk and keeps you from making poor impulsive decisions. You need to make rational trading decisions.
For instance, if you decide to move stop loss points right before they're triggered, you'll find yourself losing much more money than you would have if you'd let it be. You should stay with your plan and win!
Make use of a variety of Foreign Exchange charts, but specially the 4-hour or daily charts. Using charts can help you to avoid costly, spur of the moment mistakes. The downside of these rapid cycles is how much they fluctuate and reveal the influence of pure chance. To side-step unwanted stress and false hope, make commitments to longer cycles.
When you issue an equity stop order it will eliminate some potential risks. After an investment falls by a specific percentage ,determined by the initial total, an equity stop order halts trading activity.
Use margin carefully if you want to retain your profits. Margin can help you increase how much you make, if you use it the right way. Be careful not to use it in a careless manner, or you will lose more than what you should have gained. Utilize margin only when you feel your money is stable and you run minimal risk of a shortfall.
Do not get suckered into buying Foreign Exchange robots or eBooks that advertise quick returns and untold riches. These products are almost always scams offering bad or untested trading methods. Remember that there is not any guaranteed way to make money on foreign exchange. The people selling these systems are the only ones who make money using them. One key way to quickly increase your foreign exchange trading skill is to invest in some one-on-one time with a professional trader.
As was stated in the beginning of the article, trading with Forex is only confusing for those who do not do their research before beginning the trading process. If you take the recommendation given to you in the above article, you will begin the process of becoming educated in Foreign Exchange trading. httP://forexrobotguide.info/managing-positions-in-forex-t...

The Tower is so named because it is ornamented, in ascending order, with the columns of each of the five orders of classical architecture: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite.
Constantin Brâncoveanu (1688-1714), the ruler of Wallachia built this monastery in 1696, on the place of an earlier church from 1654.
Therefore, he settled monks here, founded a school, a printing house and an icon-painting workshop.
Despite the fact that more than 150 monasteries and churches were demolished during the reign of the Austro-Hungarians, this one remained untouched
After Brâncoveanu's decapitation and the decree which laid down the proscription of these monastic orders the Court of Wien sent general Preiss to tear down the monastery in 1785.
The monastery was deserted for 140 years, its restoration began in 1926.
In this restoration process, the architecture and the inner paintings of the church were preserved. Restorations between 1929 and 1936 polished up the belfry and added stone colonnades. Restorations between 1929 and 1936 polished up the belfry and added stone colonnades.
History
There is evidence of skete monasticism being practiced in the area by the early 17th century.
Sâmbăta de Sus village and surrounding land entered into the Brâncoveanu family's possession in 1654.
Constantin Brâncoveanu, Prince of Wallachia, built a stone and brick church in place of an older wooden one around 1696, with the monastery established by 1701.
Part of his motivation was to strengthen the Orthodox presence in the region and guard against encroaching Catholicism, which had become a more pressing issue after 1683 and the consolidation of Habsburg domination over Transylvania. Concurrent with the monastery's establishment, the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church was founded, drawing numerous Transylvanian Orthodox under Papal authority.
Brâncoveanu also established a school for secretaries, a workshop for fresco paintings and a small printing press at the monastery site.
Over the course of the 18th century, there was pressure on the monks to accept union with Rome.
In 1761, Adolf von Buccow, Governor of Transylvania, ordered the destruction of all Orthodox monasteries under his jurisdiction.
Sâmbăta de Sus was spared, probably following an intervention by the Brâncoveanu family. I
ts prestige grew, as it remained the only Orthodox monastery in the Făgăraș Country. The gilt interior frescoes were painted in 1766.
From 1772 to 1802, the Brâncoveanus lost control over the property due to failure to pay a debt, rendering its destruction easier.
Greek-Catholic Bishop Grigore Maior insisted it be suppressed, as its monks not only refused to convert, but also urged local inhabitants not to do so.
In 1782, an order from the imperial court in Vienna decreed that all monasteries whose inhabitants led lives only of contemplation should be disbanded.
Despite pleas from the Brâncoveanus, the monastery was destroyed in November 1785.
The church was severely damaged although not completeley demolished, and the monks most likely crossed the Carpathians into Wallachia.
In 1922, following the union of Transylvania with Romania and subsequent land reform, the Romanian government transferred the property from the Brâncoveanu family to the Sibiu Archdiocese.
Nicolae Bălan, then Sibiu's archbishop as well as Metropolitan of Transylvania, decided to restore the monastery.
Work began in 1926, with the rebuilt church and other structures consecrated in 1946. A number of further restorations followed, with a major one concluding in 1993.[1] The monastery is classified at a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. In addition, three individual properties are listed as such: the church, the annexes and the park.
The tower is octagonal outside, and cylindrical inside.
On the Western wall of the parvis, there is a fresco of the founder.
The healing spring, Izvorul Tamaduirii, from the XVI century, was renovated.
In the museum one can see icons painted on glass or wood from the XVIII-XIX century, as well as old books and church objects. The famous icon-painting workshop is one of the most prominent painting workshops in the country.
The monastery is always open for visitors, the museum can be visited according to a schedule.
As you can see, the Google car for Street View has gone into the monastery, and taken pictures from inside.
The "Brancoveanu" Monastery - Sambata de Sus - located on the valley of Sambata river- is famous for being a place of recovery, comfort and spiritual balm for visitors who halt or pray in this sacred dwelling. The history of Brâncoveanu Monastery started in the 17th century, when Preda Brâncoveanu erected on Sambata Valley the first church built in wood. On its place, around the year 1696, Constantin Brâncoveanu, the ruler of Wallachia (1688 - 1714), re-built a monastery in stone, in order to strengthen and save the Romanian Orthodoxy from the danger of Catholicism, which appeared when Transylvania was ruled by the Habsburgs (1683). In 1785 the monastery was partially demolished by the order of general Bukow from Wien. All the cells were completely destroyed, the church became a ruin and the monks were driven away.
Throughout the 140 years since the destruction there had been many people who tried to restore it such as Metropolitan Bishop Andrei Saguna, Bishop Ilarie Puscariu, nun Maria Boros and so on, but with no results.
The honour of becoming the second founder of the Brâncoveanu Monastery was given to Metropolitan Nicolae Balan, Th. D., who started the restoration work in the year 1926.
Its consecration took place in 1946 , after the war (that is why the precincts for the monks were not rebuilt at tat time).
The architectural style fits entirely Brâncoveanian style, which emerged in Wallachia at the end of the 17th century and the begining of the 18th century. Stones decorate the windows and the door frames and I took real interest in observing the front entrance door, the sculptured pillars and the stone panels of the church which offer a special beauty to the monastery.
The steeple is octagonal outside and cylindrical inside.
The interior is divided into: altar, nave, narthex and porch and it is quite common to the churches built during Brâncoveanu's time. The painting of the porch is entirely new and includes scenes from the Old Testament. The entrance from the porch to the narthex is through a thick oak door, framed by sculptured stone.
On the West-side of the narthex, where the Holy Virgin is painted, one can see the painting of Brâncoveanu's founders.
The monastery houses five bells cast in Wien, very well harmonized, electrically rung nowadays and weighing more than 2,000 Kgs.
The precincts which have been rebuilt are quadrilateral, in a Brâncoveanian style including two-toreyed massive buildings. Three stone-carved towers adorn the precincts both on the inside and on the outside. On the ground floor of the Northern buildings there are the abbey and the cells for the monks.
On the first floor there is a steeple and a new monumental and spacious church. From the outside, it does not look loke a church, becuse it was built secretly, during Communism.
The ground floor of the Southern buildings comprises a large refectory, the kitchens and the cells and on the first floor there is a large library and a xenodochium.
The new monastery houses a museum, which exhibits one of the ancient glass painting collections belonging to the 18th-19th century (mostly painted in a naive manner) and very rare and historical valuable documents.
Besides the glass-made-icons, one can admire ancient letters, the first edition of some newspapers, clothes wore by monks, ecclesiastical objects, a huge library and so on.
