Bulletin Deadline

10:00 a.m. Thursday, the week before publication. Please email items to:

lpoverstreet@stjames-etown.org

The Original Innocence of Man and Woman— Genesis 2:25, manifests in a direct way the mystery of innocence which the original man and woman both bore, each in himself or herself. The body itself is, in a way, an “eyewitness” of this characteristic. Significantly, the affirmation contained in Genesis 2:25 about nakedness mutually free from shame is a statement unique in its kind in the whole Bible. It will never be repeated. On the contrary, we can quote many texts in which nakedness will be connected with shame or, in an even stronger sense, with ignominy. In this wide context the reasons are all the more visible for discovering in Genesis 2:25 a particular trace of the mystery of original innocence and a particular factor of its radiation in the human subject. This innocence belongs to the dimension of grace contained in the mystery of creation, that is, to that mysterious gift made to the inner man, to the human heart. It enables both of them, man and woman, to exist from the beginning in the mutual relationship of the disinterested gift of oneself. This contains the revelation, and at the same time, the discovery of the nuptial meaning of the body in its masculinity and femininity. It can be understood why we speak in this case, of revelation and at the same time of discovery. From the point of view of our analysis, it is essential that the discovery of the nuptial meaning of the body, which we read in testimony of Genesis, takes place through original innocence. In fact, this discovery reveals and highlights the latter. Original innocence belongs to the mystery of man’s beginning, from which historical man was then separated by committing original sin. This does not mean, however, that he is not able to approach that mystery by means of his theological knowledge. Theology of the Body – St. John Paul II Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee

PARENTING POINTERS

By Susan Vogt, www.SusanVogt.net

In reflecting back on parenting your

children, remember that "You are

responsible for the process in raising your

children, not the outcome." Your success

or failure does not depend on theirs. Don't

beat yourself up or take undue pride.

Safe Environment Training

The Archdiocese of Louisville is committed to

ensuring that children and youth who

worship, study or participate in church-

sponsored activities can do so in the safest

and most secure setting possible. In an effort

to fulfill this commitment, all employees or

volunteers who have contact with children or

youth (18 and under) for ANY length of time

are required to participate in one of the Safe

Environment Training Workshops.

Saint James Catholic Church will offer a

workshop on Thursday, August 23,

at 6:30 PM in Batcheldor Hall gym.

Grace and Grub! Tuesday - July 24th

As seen in the summer youth

calendar, we will attend 8 a.m.

Mass together followed by breakfast.
