Cultivating the Fruit of Kindness

This summer we continue cultivating the garden of our souls so

that they might produce the fruits of the Holy Spirit. If we are not

willing to do the work there will be no fruit. This week let’s

take a look at the spiritual fruit of known as goodness. This word

comes from the idea that goodness relates to human wellbeing

and moral excellence. That which is good promotes our well-

being. The fruit that is goodness describes the person who pro-

motes all types of wellbeing: spiritual, emotional, social, physical

and any other type. The Christian with the spiritual fruit of good-

ness promotes the moral excellence of all including himself. The

weeds of evil and immorality, not promoting wellbeing, need to

be pulled up so that God’s goodness can grow in us.

St. Paul describes goodness as a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians

5:22). He also states that goodness belongs with righteousness

and truth (Ephesians 5:9). The good news is that the Holy Spirit

let’s this fruit grown in us! From the beginning of creation God

has always done things for us to promote our wellbeing and moral

excellence. He gave us life. He gave us custody of creation. He

gave us the gift of each other. He gave us the commandments.

He gave us His Son and now He gives us his Spirit. With his

Spirit we can weed out evil and promote our wellbeing and moral

excellence by feeding off of goodness. The devil does not want

our wellbeing, but our hell-being (that’s a word I just made up).

He wants chaos in all aspects of our life so that goodness might

be choked out by all that is bad for us. He wants our damnation

not our salvation.

This week, start pulling out the weeds of all that is bad for well-

being and journey toward moral excellence in all aspects of your

life so as to promote the growth of goodness. Goodness will give

your lives a purpose. With that, God’s goodness will shine

through the promotion of our ultimate wellbeing, salvation. Try

Fr.Jeff

Cultivando el Fruto de la Amabilidad Este verano continuamos cultivando el jardín de nuestras almas

para que puedan producir los frutos del Espíritu Santo. Si no esta-

mos dispuestos a hacer el trabajo, no habrá fruto. Esta semana

echemos un vistazo a la fruta espiritual conocida como bondad.

Esta palabra proviene de la idea de que la bondad se relaciona

con el bienestar humano y la excelencia moral. Lo que es bueno

promueve nuestro bienestar. La fruta que es bondad describe a la

persona que promueve todo tipo de bienestar: espiritual, emocion-

al, social, físico y de cualquier otro tipo. El cristiano con el fruto

espiritual de la bondad promueve la excelencia moral de todos,

incluido él mismo. Las malas hierbas del mal y la inmoralidad,

que no fomentan el bienestar, deben levantarse para que la bon-

dad de Dios pueda crecer en nosotros

San Pablo describe la bondad como un fruto del Espíritu (Gálatas

5:22). También afirma que la bondad pertenece a la justicia y la

verdad (Efesios 5: 9). ¡La buena noticia es que el Espíritu Santo

permite que esta fruta crezca en nosotros! Desde el comienzo de

la creación, Dios siempre ha hecho cosas para que promovamos

nuestro bienestar y excelencia moral. Él nos dio la vida. Él nos

dio la custodia de la creación. Él nos dio el regalo del uno al otro.

Él nos dio los mandamientos. Él nos dio a su Hijo y ahora nos da

su Espíritu. Con su Espíritu podemos eliminar el mal y promover

nuestro bienestar y excelencia moral alimentándonos de la bon-

dad. El diablo no quiere nuestro bienestar, sino nuestro infierno

(esa es una palabra que acabo de inventar). Él quiere el caos en

todos los aspectos de nuestra vida para que la bondad pueda ser

estrangulada por todo lo que es malo para nosotros. Él quiere

nuestra condenación, no nuestra salvación

Esta semana, comience a sacar las malas hierbas de todo lo que es

malo para el bienestar y viaje hacia la excelencia moral en todos

los aspectos de su vida, a fin de promover el crecimiento de la

bondad. La bondad dará a tus vidas un propósito. Con eso, la bon-

dad de Dios brillará a través de la promoción de nuestro bienestar

supremo, la salvación. Intentalo

Padre Jeff

Of participating in the shaping of our government.

Who have the responsibility of placing judges on our courts.

Please protect this process from all obstruction.

Please send us men and women of wisdom,

LIFE:PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE Matt Cato, Director of the Office of Life, Justice & Peace,

Archdiocese of Portland

Everything is connected; everyone is connected. We are a

caring community where everyone is meant to be con-

nected. We are meant to be interdependent, a community,

a caring community. We are responsible for one another.

Life is not about me; it's about us.

Life is also our first gift from an infinitely loving Creator.

That alone provides the foundation for our human dignity.

Catholic teaching recognizes the inherent value of all

human life. Each of us – regardless of age, race, physical or mental ability, or economic status – is inherently

valuable. No stage of life is insignificant. None is a burden. Instead, it's all very good, as we learn in Genesis

when, on the 6th day, God looked at everything he made and found it very good.

This is why the Catholic Church believes that we must protect the environment, that we must ensure that

everyone has dignity, and that we must protect life – because these are gifts from God that are very good.

We cherish these gifts. Therefore, regarding the gift of life, the Church opposes state-assisted suicide – which

is also known as capital punishment or the death penalty – so does the Church oppose physician-assisted

suicide, which some soften by calling it death with dignity.

We must protect all gifts of life, because life is very good. As a caring community of connected, inter-

dependent neighbors, we therefore mourn the loss of a life from one's own suicide, from state-assisted suicide,

or from physician-assisted suicide. A connected, caring community is, by definition, compassionate, especially

with those facing the most vulnerable time in their lives.

This compassion does not equate with facilitating suicide. This compassion does not require us to look the

other way when suicide is being considered. This compassion does not mean that we legalize suicide because

"everyone has a right to make their own decisions."

No, this compassion requires us to be present with each other until the end.

All lives are valuable, significant, and a gift of God, which God found very good.
