Six Things Pope Francis Wants You to Know (Continued)
Move outward, beyond yourself True faith, Pope Francis says, pushes us into the world to seek the common good and reach out to those on the margins of society. A complacent, inward-focused person or parish is not being true to Jesus’ call. Evan-gelization, Pope Francis tells us, is not simply concerned with an individual’s inner convictions, but rather is
concerned with the whole of society.
Consequently, no one can demand that religion should be relegated to the inner sanctum of personal life, without influence on societal and national life, without concern for the soundness of civil institutions, without a right to offer an opinion on events affecting society. Who would claim to lock up in a church and silence the message of Saint Francis of Assisi or Blessed Teresa of Calcutta? They themselves would have found this
unacceptable. An authentic faith—which is never comfortable or completely personal– always involves a deep desire to change the world, to transmit values, to leave this earth somehow better that we found it. We love
this magnificent planet on which God has put us, and we love the human family which dwells here, with all its tragedies and struggles, its hope and aspirations, its strength and weakness (sec. 183)
Be attentive to the poor and vulnerable Being a disciple of Jesus means focusing on the people Jesus did : the poor and vulnerable. The Holy Father devotes a whole sections of his exhortation to what he titles “The inclusion of the poor in society.” Since his
papacy began, Francis has emphasized that an essential part of Christian discipleship is devotion attention to those who are weakest and most outcast. Christians are called to work for justice, human rights, and authen-
tic human development for the poor.
Our faith in Christ, who became poor, and was always close to the poor and the outcast, is the basis of our concern for the integral development of society’s most neglected members. (sec. 186)
Solidarity must be lived as the decision to restore to the poor what belongs to them (Sec. 189)
In all places and circumstances, Christians, with the help of their pastors, are called to hear the cry of the poor (sec. 191).
Remember Mary’s by your side Pope Francis ends his apostolic exhortation with a reminder that Mary is the “Mother of Evangelization.” She
is our supportive companion in praying, striving to be faithful disciples, and proclaiming the Good News.
Jesus left us his mother to be out mother. Only after doing so did Jesus know that “all was now finished” (Jn 19:28). At the foot of the cross, at the supreme hour of the new creation, Christ led us to Mary. He brought us to her because he did not want us to journey without a mother, and our people read in this maternal image all the mysteries of the gospel. The Lord did not want to leave that church without his icon of womanhood. Mary, who brought him into the world with great faith, also accompanies “the rest of her offspring, those who keep
the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus” (Rev 12:17) (sec. 285).
Pope Francis’s final words in Evangelii GaudiumI are a prayer to Mary:
Mother of the living gospel, wellspring of happiness for God’s little ones, pray for us.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last week's Treasure mentioned the "Nuns of the Battlefield," religious sisters from several communities who served as nurses in the Civil War. Florence Nightingale had only instituted female nurses a decade before in
the Crimean War, so the idea of women tending to wounded soldiers was extraordinary. The medical and sanitary conditions on the battlefields were appalling, and the sisters were nearly all teachers. Few had any medical training beyond what they had learned as youngsters in the family. Anti-Catholic prejudice was so deeply entrenched in America that sisters could not wear their habits in public. These sisters were the first, and people on both the Union and Confederate sides soon began to marvel at their bravery, efficiency, and
respect for Protestant soldiers. More than six hundred sisters from twenty-one communities went to war, serving in wretched conditions. They were tough and single-minded, efficient and fearless.
After the war, sisters could appear in public everywhere in the reunited nation, and often received the praise and gratitude of grateful soldiers and family members on behalf of their sister nurses. An outdoor monument to the "Nuns of the Battlefield" stands in Washington at M Street and Rhode Island Avenue. The inscription reads: "They comforted the dying, nursed the wounded, carried hope to the imprisoned, gave in His name a
drink of water to the thirsty." --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
Prayer in Honor of the Gi of Human Life God our Creator, we give thanks to you, who alone have the power to impart the breath of life as you form each of us in our mother’s womb; grant, we pray, that we, whom you have made stewards of crea on, may remain faithful to this sacred trust and constant in safeguarding the dignity of human life. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen
OBSTACLES The prophet Ezekiel, Saint Paul, and the Lord Jesus share something in common in today's scripture readings. They all experience obstacles to their ministry. Ezekiel is
summoned to prophesy to the Israelites, who are "[h]ard of face and obstinate of heart" (Ezekiel 2:4). Saint Paul recounts how he has been given a "thorn in the
flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7). The Lord Jesus is unable to perform many signs in his native place. The Gospel tells us that "[he] was amazed at their lack of faith" (Mark 6:6). We too sometimes encounter obstacles as we travel along the journey of faith. So often we experience weakness on this journey. Let the words of the Lord to Saint Paul encourage us today: "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in
weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands,
which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your
Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the
priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world's contagion. Bless
their labors with abundant fruit and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and
consola on here and in heaven their beau ful and everlas ng crown. Amen. -St. Therese of Lisieux

PRAYER FOR HURRICANE SEASON O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awaken from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm less eternity awaits us. Amen.
