NOT EVERYTHING’S GONNA GO MY WAY
Even in these lockdown days, the Grand Ole Opry is still
producing live shows, just without an audience. One of the TV
stations I get in Michigan runs endless country music programs and,
one night a couple of weeks ago, they were airing a rerun of a
recent Opry night featuring Clint Black, Darius Rucker and a few
other perform-ers. Toward the end, Clint Black sang a song I had
never heard that resonates with our times and, as it turns out,
perfectly summarizes today’s Gospel about the sower and the
seed--seed that falls in lots of places where it never grows,
withers when it sprouts, is choked by thorns or eaten by the birds.
But—and we know the parable—some seed falls on good soil where it
yields an abundant harvest.
The lines in the song that struck me and that echo the point of
the parable are these: I’ve been better, I’ve been worse (that’s
the song title)… I guess I ain’t the center of the universe, Not
everything’s gonna go my way. That’s the truth the parable’s sower
has to recognize when he sows his seed and the truth that far too
many people today can’t seem to accept about life. In too many
instances, when people don’t get what they want, it’s time to
launch a protest. When someone says something others don’t like or
agree with, it’s time to shame that person on social media. When
someone expresses an opinion that others find offensive, that
person is expected to begin an apol-ogy tour lest they be driven
from their job or ostracized by the “woke” class. And when
problematic chapters of history won’t fit the narrative of the 21st
century, those stories and the imperfect peo-ple who were part of
them must be “canceled” and their memories erased. “I guess I ain’t
the center of the universe, Not everything’s gonna go my way.”
Indeed!
God is the center of the universe—not you or me—and everything’s
not supposed to go our way—that’s life. We’re just sowers who are
called to do our best to sow the truth of the Gospel in our
world—not shame or “cancel” those who think differently as far too
many on both ends of the political and cultural spectra tend to do.
As St. Paul tells the Church at Rome in today’s second reading,
“all crea-tion is groaning in labor pains even until now.” The
world will al-ways be full of folks whose hearts & minds are
poor soil, whose vi-sion may be blinded by thorns of
self-righteousness, whose opin-ions are too easily carried away by
the flightless birds of Facebook or Twitter. But there will also
always be “good soil” ready to re-ceive the seed Jesus depends on
us to sow. We pray that, as his dis-ciples, we will strive to be
both good soil and good sowers, so that the world God wills to
bring to birth will one day see the light and come to know the One
who is the center of the universe.

TIPS FOR WEARING A FACE MASK by Marrison Worthington
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to
recom-
mend ―wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where
other so-
cial distancing measures are difficult to maintain.‖
Wearing a mask helps slow the spread of COVID-19, and the more
peo-
ple who wear them, the better it works. Anyone who is over the
age of
two and medically able to tolerate a face-covering should cover
their
nose and mouth.
While many have already been wearing a mask, it’s important to
do it
right. Dr. Kamo Sidhwa, infectious disease specialist at
Advocate South
Suburban Hospital suggests taking the following actions to
ensure your
safety:
Masks should be washed daily with regular detergent or soap
after
initial use.
It may need to be washed by hand or in the gentle cycle of
the
washing machine if made of delicate material. It may be also
be
worthwhile to have a few masks available while you are
cleaning.
If elastic is in the mask, it needs to be checked to make sure
it has
not lost its elasticity and remains secure and fitted when
wearing.
Once your mask is visibly soiled or damaged, you should discard
it
and start using a new one.
Be careful when removing dirty masks to ensure you aren’t
touch-
ing your face until after you wash your hands.
Safe masking is an important step we can take in helping prevent
the
spread of COVID-19, but Dr. Sidhwa also reminds us that masks
does
not take the place of social distancing.
―The point of these coverings is to lessen the chance that a
potentially
asymptomatic infected individual may spread their infection to
others,‖
says Dr. Sidhwa. ―Distancing is still the most important thing
we can do
to decrease overall spread.‖ Health eNews, 6/24/20

Gospel Meditation
15H SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Using the best seeds doesn’t al-
ways guarantee the best plants.
An older Italian gentleman
straight from Italy gave me these
amazing tomato seeds that he
claimed produced the best toma-
toes ever grown. Without doubt,
the fruit he shared with me was a testament to that fact. These
toma-
toes were amazing! I couldn’t wait until the next growing season
to
plant these seeds and harvest my own tomatoes. The whole
experi-
ment ended up a failure. I did everything the gentleman said,
but my
fruit didn’t even come close. What happened? At first I was
perplexed,
then some years later the light dawned. The problem wasn’t the
seeds,
it was the soil!
You cannot sow seeds in any old place and in a haphazard way
and
expect them to be at their best. It doesn’t work that way.
Planting the
seeds is the easiest part. Preparing the soil is the challenge.
Tilling,
mulching, enriching, and building up the nutrients are all
required for
good fruit. Then after the seeds are planted, more care is
required in
order to maintain that healthy, nutrient rich environment for
those
seeds to sprout, grow, and flourish. God happily sows the seeds
of his
Word. What do we do with them?
If we expect to be a passive bystander and have good fruit
magically
grow, we are mistaken. Bearing the good fruit of God’s Word
requires
preparation and work. We have to cultivate the soil of our lives
so that
those seeds can find a proper home. This one thing alone takes
a
great deal of patience, time, and effort. What kind of
preparation have
we put into our lives so that we can be a recipient of God’s
seed? It
takes a great deal of soul-searching and ego-checking to
properly pre-
pare. God is the ever faithful and persistent sower. If the
seeds do not
bear fruit the first time, God will come back time and time
again, giving
it another try.
If we have created a suitable bed for sowing, then once the seed
is
sown, we must properly maintain them. What is our maintenance
plan
for the seeds of God’s Word? We need not only a source for water
but
a watering schedule. We need to weed, aerate the soil, nurture
the
young plants, protect them, and provide proper nutrients. What
does
our spiritual maintenance plan look like? If we have done all
things
well, imagine what the seeds of God’s Word could produce in us!

6 J u l y 1 2 , 2 0 2 0 FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS
FOCUS ON THE GOOD
When I was a child, my mother
had a set of sculptures resem-
bling three human heads. One
head had hands over the ears,
one had hands over the eyes, and
one had hands over the mouth. Of
course, they depicted the phrase,
―Hear no evil; see no evil; speak
no evil.‖ I have seen these images
repeated many times since then,
usually as the monkey heads from
a Japanese proverb, which would
have probably seemed a little less
creepy to me when I was a small
child. Apparently, there is no con-
sensus about the full meaning or
certain origin of these three im-
ages nor the phrase. At the very
least, it causes us to reflect on
the need to avoid evil and look for
the good in things.
As I have lived my life, I have
come to believe there are more
people who lives their lives in a
contrary manner to these images.
It is not that they seek evil, but it
is as if they ―see no good, hear no
good, and speak no good.‖ Gos-
siping is the way they pass the
time, and they always seem to
find the negative in people and
situations. Being a good steward
certainly means that we do not
seek evil, but more than that, it
means that we see the abun-
dance of good things all around
us. These gifts of God are big and
little, profound and ordinary. By
seeing the world in this way, we
begin to change our personalities
and our overall disposition. We
always need to follow a new prov-
erb: see all the good, hear all the
good, and speak about the good.
Amen.

For Your Information
ST. JOSEPH’S ST. JOSEPH’S ST. JOSEPH’S
RELIGIOUS EDUCATIONRELIGIOUS EDUCATIONRELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The archdiocese has advised
religious education programs to
develop the capacity to offer
classes in both virtual and in-
person formats. To do this we
need catechists who can teach
both virtual classes or 'at-home
formation' and in-person
classes. For in-person classes
to be executed safely we need a
new cadre of volunteers to
monitor safety measures such
as social distancing upon entry/
exit and in the hallways, and
that all persons in the school
b u i l d i n g a r e w e a r i n g
masks. Catechists and other
volunteers associated with the
religious education program
must complete archdiocese
compliance requirements in-
cluding Virtus training, man-
dated reporter training, and a
background check.
If you can help in any way
please contact Karen Shifflett
at [email protected]
or 708-798-6311.
Thank you.
WHY DO CATHOLICS BAPTIZE
BABIES?
For adults who want to be bap-
tized, the celebration only takes
place after a long, guided, and
thoughtful process through the
Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults. This is also true for many
Protestant Christians, who are baptized later in life, often
after a per-
sonal, transforming religious experience. So, it seems fair to
ask why
our Catholic tradition includes infant baptism. After all, if we
make
adults who want to become Catholic wait months and even years
as
they grow in their understanding of Christ and his teachings,
why
should babies—who ―do nothing‖—be baptized?
Our custom of infant baptism dates back to the earliest days of
the
Church, when St. Paul baptized entire households, including, we
pre-
sume, children (see Acts 16:15, 33; 18:8). That had become
com-
mon practice by the second century. When Christianity was
legalized
200 years later, infant baptism became the normal practice
through-
out the Church.
We recognize that in Baptism, we are given the grace to
overcome
original sin— the human tendency to choose ourselves and our
own
wills over God—and to become members of the Church. This is
the
gift we give to infants in Baptism.
In its essence, the baptism of infants also reminds us adult
Chris-
tians that the gift of salvation and membership in the Church
(i.e., the
Body of Christ) is God’s initiative. It is freely offered to us,
regardless
of where we might be in life’s journey. Salvation isn’t
something we
earn. Instead, we see that Baptism is the beginning of a
lifelong proc-
ess of growing into the kind of disciples that Jesus wants us to
be.

8 J u l y 1 2 , 2 0 2 0 FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Today’s Readings
FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Sunday, July 12, 2020
First Reading
Isaiah 55:10-11
The Word of the Lord shall achieve its purpose.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 65:10-14
A prayer of praise to God for his abundance.
Second Reading
Romans 8:18-23
Together with all of creation, we await God’s re-
demption.
Gospel Reading
Matthew 13:1-23 (shorter form: Matthew 13:1-9)
Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is like
seed that has been sown on good soil.
BACKGROUND ON THE GOSPEL READING
Today’s Gospel marks the beginning of the third long discourse
given by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.
Over the next few weeks, the Gospel readings will consist of the
entire 13th Chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, a
lengthy teaching discourse.
Throughout this discourse, Jesus will offer several parables to
illustrate for his listeners what he means by
the kingdom of heaven. He begins with the parable of the sower,
which appears rather straightforward—of
course seeds grow best in good soil. Seeds that miss the soil,
are sown on rocky ground, or are sown among
other plants will not grow. The surprise in the parable is the
enormous yield of the seed that is sown on good
soil.
Jesus then explains his use of parables. Jesus seems to suggest
that he uses parables to teach because the
meanings of parables are not self-evident. The hearer must
engage in some degree of reflection in order to
comprehend the message of a parable. In this way, the medium—the
parable—models the point of the par-
able of the sower. Those who are willing to engage themselves in
the effort to understand will be rewarded by
the discovery of the message and will bear fruit.
To bring home the point, Jesus interprets the parable of the
sower to his disciples. The different types of soil
in which the seeds are sown are metaphors for the disposition
with which each individual hears the teaching
about the kingdom of heaven. Some will be easily swayed away
from the kingdom of heaven. Some will re-
ceive it for a time but will lose it when faced with
difficulties. Some will hear the word but will then permit
other cares to choke it out. Yet some will receive it well, and
the seed will produce abundant fruit.

Growing with the Gospel
Sharing the Gospel Jesus is standing in a boat at the edge of a
large lake. He is talking to
you and a crowd on the shore. You are sitting on a blanket with
your
mother's picnic basket beside you. Jesus talks about sowing
seed. You
are like God's seed. You grow in God's way because you are
baptized
with the water of salvation and are given the nutrients that
come from
obeying God's commandments.
Prayer
Lord, tell me how to grow closer to your ways of goodness.
Something to Draw
Draw Jesus in a boat on the lake talking to you and your
family.
Mission for the Week
I will plant a seed in good dirt and water it for you, Lord.
