Social Justice Corner
The hospitality we offer mirrors the hospitality God offers to us. When Abraham and Sarah offer their generous hospitality to strangers, those strangers prove to be God’s messengers, telling them of the promise God made to them of a son in their old age. This ancient story is the source of the phrase “entertaining angels unaware.”
The Gospel story is of hospitality as well. Martha is busy serv-ing Jesus. Mary sits at his feet and listens to his message. We cannot neglect the basic chores of a hostess, but at the same time we must be willing to become the guest – sitting, listening and becoming more fully aware of the Christ within us.
Is Christ asking us to manifest God’s hospitality to today’s many refugees? We are all guests here and in fearing and ma-ligning the stranger we risk rejecting Christ himself! As we set out to serve the least of these, what are the unimaginable prom-ises we receive at God’s feet?

The Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
PRAY WITH US WORLD YOUTH DAY USA PRAYER (EXCERPT)
God our Father,
Be with us on our pilgrim journey of faith.
Give us the grace and courage to step
forward in faith and hope on the road
ahead.
Like the disciples who journeyed up the
mountain to witness the Transfiguration,
May this experience be an encounter
that strengthens us for our work in the
world.
Through the intercession of Mary, the
Immaculate Conception,
patroness of our nation,
May we be worthy witnesses of our faith,
humble representatives of our country,
and inspired missionaries
bringing peace, hope, and mercy into our
communities.
Amen.

PEACEMAKERS We celebrate today Pope Leo XIII who inaugurated the mod-ern era of Catholic Social Teaching with his encyclical Rerum Novarum (1891). Leo was the first pope to address the prob-lems associated with the rise of industrial capitalism and to declare the sympathy of the Church with the interests of the working class. He declared the interest of the Church in not only the spiritual welfare of the people, but their social and material welfare.
Pope Leo restated the Church’s commitment to the principles of social justice, the dignity of labor and the defense of the poor.
Quote: “I want to see the church so far forward that my succes-sor will not be able to turn back.”

The Summer of Saints movie series continues this Friday July 22nd at 6:00 pm in the Gym. We’ll begin with a potluck dinner and start the movie at 6:30pm. A short discussion will fol-low. This week’s film, Bakhita is the story of Jo-sephine Bakhita, a young woman from Sudan, who was kidnapped by slavers and sold to an Ital-ian merchant who took her in and made her a nanny to his daughter. Though she was treated as an outcast she maintained her dignity and was kind and loving to others. Guided by the village priest, she embraces Catholicism and asks to join the Canossian order, but is stymied by her em-ployer, who considers her to be his property. The ensuing legal battle impacts both her freedom, and her decision to become a religious sis-ter. NOTE: This film is in Italian with English sub-titles.
