Thank you. Your ongoing support is essential in helping us meet the many needs of our parish and

community.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 1, 2018 You changed my mourning into dancing; O L , my God, forever will I give you thanks. — Psalm 30:13

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES

Sunday: Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Tuesday: St. Thomas Wednesday: Independence Day Thursday: St. Elizabeth of Portugal; St. Anthony Zaccaria Friday: St. Maria Goretti; First Friday Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary; First Saturday

O LORD, BE MY HELP Today we encounter readings that draw us into the mystery of suffering and death. In the past few years we have witnessed the devastation of life and property through earthquakes and hurricanes. So many lifted their lament to God, simply asking, “Why?” This is an honest expression of anger toward a God who we believe is the giver of life. When we lose a loved one, we can wonder why the presence of Christ is not enough to make that person rise, even from death, as did the little girl in to-day’s Gospel passage. Again we raise our voices and ask, “Why?” At moments such as these, let us make the pray-er of the psalmist our own: “Hear, O L , and have pity on me; O L , be my helper.” Let us pray that our mourning will one day be turned into dancing.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — God did not make death, nor does God rejoice in the destruction of the living (Wisdom 1:13-15; 2:23-24). Psalm — I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me (Psalm 30). Second Reading — Your abundance should supply the needs of the others (2 Co-rinthians 8:7, 9, 13-15). Gospel — Your faith has saved you (Mark 5:21-43 [21-24, 35b-43]).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As Independence Day draws near, we think of the men and women of the military who serve with courage and competence, some far from home. How does the Church accompany them? In 1939, Pope Pius XII created an independent jurisdiction of the Catholic Church called the “Military Vicariate.” In 1985 Pope John Paul II creat-ed the “Archdiocese for Military Services, USA.” Span-ning the globe and serving nearly one and a half million Roman Catholics, more than one thousand priests minis-ter in hospitals, on military bases of all the armed forces, on ships at sea, and on the battlefield. The AMS does not ordain priests, but accepts priests on loan from religious orders and dioceses. In 1824 a Jesuit priest named Adam Marshall enlisted in the Navy and died at sea in 1825. He was assigned as a “schoolmaster,” but he sought out and ministered to Catholic sailors. Twenty years later, President Polk was worried that the war with Mexico was seen as anti-Catholic, so he recruited two Jesuit priests to serve in the army as chaplains. At the time of the Civil War, only about ten percent of Americans were Catholic. Military policies forced Catholic soldiers to attend Protestant ser-vices. The Church protested this rule, and many priests volunteered to become chaplains. Their witness and the courage of the “Nuns of the Battlefield” (several orders of sisters who assisted Civil War victims) helped temper prejudice against Catholics and pave the way for the life and ministry of this vigorous and unique archdiocese. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

A Faith-filled Study of The Letter to the Galatians

Saturdays

July 14 through August 18 2 – 3:30 P.M.

Father Garrigan Room St. Paul's letter to the Christian communities of Gala-tia is the first of the "great epistles" of "the apostle to the Gentiles." It has been called the "Magna Carta of Christian liberty" because the focus of St. Paul's message is that Jesus Christ has freed those who be-lieve in Him from bondage to the legalism of the old Law and from slavery to sin, and He has placed all who come in faith to embrace Him as Lord and Savior in a position of true liberty.
