July 1, 2018, Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

From the Pastor’s Desk

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Let me begin by wishing everyone a Happy, and Safe, 4th of July. Just over a month ago, we observed Memorial Day, that day we set aside to honor those men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, in the service of our Nation. This week, we celebrate the 242nd Anniversary of the founding of our Nation, these United States of America, which these men and women have given their lives to establish and protect. Contemplating nearly two and a half centuries of men and women giving their lives in service, and sometimes in death, to preserve the liberties that we sometimes take for granted, is humbling. Whether white or black, Latino or Asian, immigrant or Native American, many people have served under that great Flag; many have rested under it, as it was draped over their caskets. Two hundred and forty two years ago, fifty six men put their names to the Declaration of Independence, an act that would be considered treason by the British, punishable by death, an act that would establish for the whole world to see that their were basic human rights, which were not the privileges of the elite, but were meant for all men; even if it would take time to the full realization of what constituted “all men”. The question arises of course, who gave men these rights? It wasn’t the king of Eng-land, since they were in open rebellion against him. It wasn’t the Pope, since Charles Carroll was the only Catholic to sign the declaration, and most others would have been suspicious of the Papacy, if not outwardly hostile. The People themselves? No, because people cannot grant themselves anything that is not already theirs, and it was not politicians, because these rights pre-ceded any government, whether American or other. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Govern-ments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… So governments are not the issuers of rights, nor are they allowed to deprive free citizens of rights, unless the governed foolish-ly give up the rights that they have received from God Himself. Personally, I do not believe we should give up what so many men and women, of all races and creeds, have fought to protect; have died to protect. While I do believe we have to return to civil and reasoned discourse about politics, and stop entrenching ourselves in opposing camps, just so professional politicians can win elections, I also believe we must take a stand for what is right. Where do we learn what is right and wrong? Not from MSNBC, CNN or FOX; they are only sources of news and opinions. We learn what is right and just through Faith and Reason. Contrary to secularists and atheists, the two are not mutually exclu-sive, they are only so in the ideologies of those same secularists and atheists. Most of those men who signed the Declaration of Independence, and went on to draft and sign the Constitution, were men of Faith and Reason; the overwhelming majority of those who fought for Independence, and have fought to defend our Constitution, were men of Faith. What has guided this na-tion for the first two centuries was a population with a strong moral compass, one that brought us forward, and even overcame greed, hatred and ignorance. Of course we have had struggles and conflicts, but we have come through them. From the beginning there have been those who stood opposed to what this Nation represented, enemies both foreign and do-mestic, but thankfully we have also had people who stood for this country. Fortunately, the majority of Americans get up every morning and decide that we will remain a Nation. It is my prayer that God will continue to Bless this great nation, and allow its people to come together in appreciation of the rights and freedoms which He has called all mankind to enjoy. Pax, Fr. Henry

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary

Time Tuesday: St. Thomas Wednesday: Independence Day Thursday: St. Elizabeth of Portugal; St. Anthony Zaccaria Friday: St. Maria Goretti; First Friday Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary; First Saturday TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As Independence Day draws near, we think of the men and women of the military who serve with courage and competence, some far from home. How does the Church accompany them? In 1939, Pope Pius XII created an independent jurisdiction of the Catholic Church called the “Military Vicariate.” In 1985 Pope John Paul II created the “Archdiocese for Military Services, USA.” Spanning the globe and serving nearly one and a half million Roman Catholics, more than one thousand priests minister in hospitals, on military bases of all the armed forces, on ships at sea, and on the battlefield. The AMS does not ordain priests, but accepts priests on loan from religious orders and dioceses. In 1824 a Jesuit priest named Adam Mar-shall enlisted in the Navy and died at sea in 1825. He was assigned as a “schoolmaster,” but he sought out and ministered to Catholic sailors. Twenty years later, President Polk was worried that the war with Mexico was seen as anti-Catholic, so he recruited two Jesuit priests to serve in the army as chaplains. At the time of the Civil War, only about ten percent of Americans were Catholic. Military policies forced Catholic soldiers to attend Protestant services. The Church protested this rule, and many priests vol-unteered to become chaplains. Their witness and the courage of the “Nuns of the Battle-field” (several orders of sisters who assisted Civ-il War victims) helped temper prejudice against Catholics and pave the way for the life and min-istry of this vigorous and unique archdiocese. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

O LORD, BE MY HELP Today we encounter readings that draw us into the mystery of suffering and death. In the past few years we have witnessed the devastation of life and property through earthquakes and hurricanes. So many lifted their lament to God, simply asking, “Why?” This is an honest expression of anger toward a God who we believe is the giver of life. When we lose a loved one, we can wonder why the presence of Christ is not enough to make that person rise, even from death, as did the little girl in today’s Gospel passage. Again we raise our voices and ask, “Why?” At moments such as these, let us make the prayer of the psalmist our own: “Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me; O LORD, be my helper.” Let us pray that our mourning will one day be turned into dancing.
