The city is sweltering, and in a pre air condi oned world long ago, Romans figured out that they needed a break in the surrounding hills. Even the pope clears out. His des na on is usually Castelgandolfo, a lovely li le hill town southeast of Rome, overlooking a tranquil lake. It has been a papal possession since about 1600, and in 1929, when most of the papal states were finally lost, the papal dwelling was given extraterritorial rights, meaning that it is an extension of Va can City and not under Italian rule. The Va can observatory maintained telescopes here for decades, far from the glare of the city lights of Rome, but although the observatory offices remain here year round, the telescopes are in Arizona. Pope Francis spends less me here than his predecessors, though he s ll slows down the pace of his work in Rome. Vaca ons can help us visit friends and rela ves, and revive those human contacts that the pace of our lives keeps us from cul va ng. The pope needs a break, and so do you. Vaca on comes from a word meaning to empty oneself. There s s ll me to clear the calendar for at least one golden summer day even if you don t have a personal castle in the hills! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for September, 2018 Universal: Young People in Africa That young people in Africa may have access to education and work in their own countries. HOUSEHOLDS IN GOD S SERVICE I n the ancient world, household was a widereaching concept. When Joshua today speaks of his household serving the Lord, he meant not just those people who lived inside his walls or those related to him by blood or marriage; he meant slaves or servants and their families, and anyone indebted to him in any way. Even his livestock and other possessions would be consecrated to service of God. In our world, we value allowing individuals their freedom to choose how they live, and wouldn t think of offering our pets to the service of God. But, as we discern our voca on as disciples bap zed into Christ, we can come to realize how far ranging the households of our lives s ll are: how we act toward our spouses, children, roommates or anyone we live with; our behavior with neighbors; or in public as we encounter many strangers every day in stores or traffic who suddenly are next door to us. How can we use our me, our resources, or gi s for selfless reasons rather than personal gain? No ma er what life our witness to the Good News calls us to, we all have a household that must be consecrated to service of the Lord our God. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
