Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John Previous reflections can be found on his blog at FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com Today’s readings focus on the stories of two widows whose only sons are dying or are dead and how Elijah and Jesus in their compassion restored them to life. Most of the gospel commentaries for today emphasize Jesus as the source of life and his power over death. But what struck me as I reflected on these readings was the response of the widow of Zarephath in the first reading and the people of Nain in the gospel to the miracles they witnessed. The phrase that popped into my head was “seeing is believing.”

Elijah had already performed one miracle for the widow of Zarephath when he provided her with a jar of flour that would never go empty and a jug of oil that would never run dry. We don’t know what she thought about that. I hope she was appreciative. However, when Elijah restored her son to life she declared “Now indeed I know that you are a man of God, and it is truly the Loaves & Fishes Weekend, June 11 & 12 St Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is in need of the word of the LORD that you speak” (1 Kings 17:24). Something following items. Donations can be placed in the wicker similar happened in Nain when Jesus restored the widow’s dead bin in the Vestibule this weekend, or at any convenient son to her although there are some subtle differences. In this case, the whole town witnessed the miracle. Initially they were seized time. with fear and out of their fear they glorified God crying out “A Canned Meat Canned Tuna Mac and Cheese great prophet has arisen in our midst,” and “God has visited his Bath Soap Toilet Tissue Dishwashing Detergent people” (Luke 7: 16). Toothpaste Hand Towels Laundry Detergent In both these scenarios people witnessed a miracle – Elijah and Thank you for your generosity and may God bless you! Jesus brought a dead person to life. And because the witnesses actually saw these miracles with their own eyes they believed. But Healing Masses what about us? What draws us into belief? What is the basis of our faith? Do we have to witness miracles to believe? I hope that The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be we have enough faith substance to move beyond “seeing is believavailable during Mass for every baptized Catholic over ing.” In his letter to the Hebrews St. Paul says “Faith is the the age of reason. Prayer teams will also be available immediately after Mass to pray with people for healing and other needs. (Heb. 11:11). Our faith is not built on what we see. Rather it is Anointing of the sick primarily is for spiritual healing. Physical built on what is not seen. Our faith is built on our trust in God and healing might occur, but it is not the main purpose of the sacraour belief in God’s infinite love for each and every one of us. ment. Certainly the sacrament should not be expected to automatically cure the sick person. Such an expectation tends toward superMerciful God, stition (cf. CC2111). Baptized children below the age of reason you showed your glory to us all cannot commit personal sin and so do not need anointing of the by sending your Son sick if they are in danger of death.

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico. 5 de junio del 2016 Décimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La muerte en la flor de la vida. Toda muerte impacta pero no cabe duda que la muerte de los jóvenes resulta particularmente dolorosa porque contradice el curso más natural de las cosas. La mujer viuda de la Primera Lectura se estrella contra el absurdo de una muerte así, la de su hijo, y trata de encontrar sentido relacionando lo que Dios le hace con lo que ella le ha hecho a Dios. La imagen de Dios que ella tiene es la de un vengador, o por lo menos, la de uno que paga con la misma moneda. El profeta no discute con el dolor de ella. No le corrige la teología vengativa con palabras sino con un acto de ternura y de poder. No sólo se restaura la vida en aquel niño o joven, sino que se restaura y purifica la fe de la madre. A veces la mejor respuesta no es una teoría sino un acto, un hecho. Sin defensa y sin sustento El cuadro que nos presenta el Evangelio es aún más doloroso en la escena inicial. Esta vez no sólo se trata de un joven que ha fallecido sino que es el único hijo, y la madre es viuda. En una sociedad como aquella, eso significa que en esa mujer se juntaban todas las pérdidas y desastres: sin sustento, sin defensa, sin futuro, sin alegría, sin amor. El milagro que realiza Cristo, al resucitar a este joven de Naím, es entonces mucho más que un portento inmenso. Es además un acto de compasión entrañable y sobre todo: una señal de lo que significa su oferta de salvación. En efecto, sin Cristo la humanidad se vuelve como esa mujer: infecunda, indefensa, sin esperanza ni amor. Por eso también nosotros necesitamos que la recia voz del Nazareno levante a la nueva generación, que a veces parece estar ya en brazos de la muerte. Amén.

June 21 to July 4 Fortnight for Freedom

June 5, 2016

Come Give Catholic Schools a Try!

Excerpt From the USCCB, Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty Our First, Most Cherished Liberty A Statement on Religious Liberty We are Catholics. We are Americans. We are proud to be both, grateful for the gift of faith which is ours as Christian disciples, and grateful for the gift of liberty which is ours as American citizens. To be Catholic and American should mean not having to choose one over the other. Our allegiances are distinct, but they need not be contradictory, and should instead be complementary. That is the teaching of our Catholic faith, which obliges us to work together with fellow citizens for the common good of all who live in this land. That is the vision of our founding and our Constitution, which guarantees citizens of all religious faiths the right to contribute to our common life together. Freedom is not only for Americans, but we think of it as something of our special inheritance, fought for at a great price, and a heritage to be guarded now. We are stewards of this gift, not only for ourselves but for all nations and peoples who yearn to be free. Catholics in America have discharged this duty of guarding freedom admirably for many generations. In 1887, when the archbishop of Baltimore, James Gibbons, was made the second American cardinal, he defended the American heritage of religious liberty during his visit to Rome to receive the red hat. Speaking of the great progress the Catholic Church had made in the United States, he attributed it to the "civil liberty we enjoy in our enlightened republic." Indeed, he made a bolder claim, namely that "in the genial atmosphere of liberty [the Church] blossoms like a rose." From well before Cardinal Gibbons, Catholics in America have been advocates for religious liberty, and the landmark teaching of the Second Vatican Council on religious liberty was influenced by the American experience. It is among the proudest boasts of the Church on these shores. We have been staunch defenders of religious liberty in the past. We have a solemn duty to discharge that duty today. We need, therefore, to speak frankly with each other when our freedoms are threatened. Now is such a time. As Catholic bishops and American citizens, we address an urgent summons to our fellow Catholics and fellow Americans to be on guard, for religious liberty is under attack, both at home and abroad. This has been noticed both near and far. Pope Benedict XVI recently spoke about his worry that religious liberty in the United States is being weakened. He called it the "most cherished of American freedoms"—and indeed it is. All the more reason to heed the warning of the Holy Father, a friend of America and an ally in the defense of freedom, in his recent address to American bishops: Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that most cherished of American freedoms, the freedom of religion. Many of you have pointed out that concerted efforts have been made to deny the right of conscientious objection on the part of Catholic individuals and institutions with regard to cooperation in intrinsically evil practices. Others have spoken to me of a worrying tendency to reduce religious freedom to mere freedom of worship without guarantees of respect for freedom of conscience. Here once more we see the need for an engaged, articulate and well-formed Catholic laity endowed with a strong critical sense vis-à-vis the dominant culture and with the courage to counter a reductive secularism which would delegitimize the Church's participation in public debate about the issues which are determining the future of American society. www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/religious-liberty

Elementary Coordinators can be reached at: Sharon Brown at [email protected] or Sachiko Doreste at: [email protected]. For the 2015/16 Faith Formation year 1,106 total students were enrolled ( 631 families total). We need 200+ Catechists to serve this number of students. Did you know that over 50% of our catechists did NOT have children in the 2015-16 school year program?? We are so blessed and thankful for their service. As of May 15 there are 300+ students registered but only a handful of catechists have committed to volunteer. We are asking for you to prayerfully consider donating your time to volunteer this year. There are opportunities at all skill levels in areas such as hospitality, teacher aides, classroom and hallway monitors and office aides. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

Catechists Are Needed.

“Do you want to do a good deed? Teach the young! Do you want to perform a holy act? Teach the young! Do you want to do a holy thing? Teach the young!

Please prayerfully consider volunteering during the St John Bosco. 2016-17 Faith Formation year. Thank you! To Donate/Volunteer: Checks, cash or supplies deliver to Faith Formation Office.
