2 Tree of Righteousness: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time In the cryptic message of the prophet Ezekiel, long centuries before the Lord s coming, God gave His people reason to hope. Ezekiel glimpsed a day when the Lord God would place a tree on a mountain in Israel, a tree that would put forth branches and bear fruit. Who could have predicted that the tree would be a cross on the hill of Calvary, and that the fruit would be salvation? Ezekiel foresees salvation coming to birds of every kind thus, not just to the People of Israel, but also to the Gentiles, who will take wing through their new life in Christ. God indeed will lift high the lowly tree, as He solemnly promises. Such salvation surpasses humanity s most ambitious dreams. And so we express our gratitude in the Psalm: Lord, it is good to give thanks to you. It is indeed good, and better still to give thanks with praise. The Psalmist speaks of those who are just upon the earth, but looks to God as the source and measure of justice, of righteousness. Like Ezekiel, he evokes the image of a flourishing tree to describe the lives of the just. The image, again, suggests the Cross as the measure of righteousness. The Cross is a sign of contradiction to those who would rather flourish in worldly terms. As St. Paul emphasizes to the Corinthians, we need courage. Our faith makes us strong, and it is proved in our deeds. He reminds us that we will be judged by the ways our faith manifests itself in works: so that each may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil. God Himself will empower the works He expects from us, though we freely choose to correspond to His grace. In the prophetic oracles, He scattered the seed that sprang up and became the mustard tree, large enough to accommodate all the birds of the sky, just as Ezekiel had seen. He gave this doctrine to His disciples in terms they were able to understand, and He provided a full explanation. In the sacraments He provides still more: the grace of faith and the courage we need to live in the world as children of God. FELIZ DÍA DEL PADRE! Cuántas cosas buenas hemos aprendido de nuestros padres! Ciertamente nos han enseñado cómo hacer las cosas, pero sobretodo From Fr. Jesus Camacho cómo vivir la vida. Para quienes nacimos varones, la presencia de nuestro padre significó el modelo a seguir cada día. Sin darnos cuenta, empezamos a hacer las cosas que él hacía y la forma como las hacía; y hasta empezamos a imitar sus modos y movimientos. En pocas palabras, nuestro papá fue el primer héroe en nuestra vida. Qué afortunados, qué bendecidos, somos quienes tuvimos un buen papá! Quiero rendir con mis palabras un homenaje a mi propio padre, Manuel Camacho, y a todos los papás de nuestra comunidad en este su día. Que Dios les premie todos lo sacrificios que han hecho por nosotros y los conserve sanos y alegres el resto de su vida. Felicidades! Su amigo y servidor ~ Padre Jesús Camacho HAPPY FATHER S DAY! How many good things have we learned from our fathers! Certainly they have taught us how to do things, but above all they have taught us how to live life. For those of us who were born male, the presence of our father signified the model to follow each day. Without notice, we began to do the things he did in the same manner he did them; and we even began to imitate his manners and movements. In so many works, our father was our first hero in our lives. How fortunate, how blessed, are those of us who had a good father! I want to pay homage with this message to my own father, Manuel Camacho and all the fathers of our community on this day. May God reward all of the sacrifices you have made for us and may you be healthy and happy the rest of your lives Congratulations! Your friend and servant ~ Padre Jesús Camacho St. Mar s Catholic Church

The schedule is adaptable, e.g. from one to three Masses a weekend. For additional information or questions, contact Risen Christ at or office@risenchristboise.org. FORMED This is the amazing story of Sister Pascalina Lehnert ( ), who was the personal confidant and secretary to Pope Pius XII for forty years, when he was the papal nuncio in Germany, and then for his whole pontificate. The Pope had great confidence in her wisdom, energy, and loyalty, and she became known as "the most powerful woman in the history of the Vatican." In 1918, the young nun Pascalina was sent to Munich to be the housekeeper of the new papal nuncio, Eugenio Pacelli. Though they seem to have little in common, Pacelli became impressed by Pascalina's directness, zeal, and alertness. During his delicate negotiations on the Concordat with Bavaria and Prussia, he benefited from Pascalina's pertinent comments and clear-headed views. He was sad to leave her behind when he was appointed Cardinal Secretary of State in 1929 and moved to Vatican City where women were forbidden to live. But Pascalina's loyalty and strong support are missed, and she was invited to work in the Vatican the first woman ever to do so. As part of Pacelli's Vatican household, she contended with the intrigues and rivalries of men who resented the privileges she enjoyed and the power she wielded. But all the in-fighting soon paled before the horrors of the war, which began the same year that Pacelli was elected Pope and becomes Pius XII. As the war tore Europe apart, the Pope put his life, and the papacy itself, on the line by opposing the Nazis and Fascists. Visiting the injured and steering through plots and conspiracies, he relied heavily on Sister Pascalina, his most important link to the world of the suffering and the persecuted. Thanks to the fearlessness of Rome's clergy and the tirelessness of Pascalina, he managed to save the lives of many Roman Jews. As head of the private papal charity, Pascalina used her organizational skills to help thousands. She remained at Pacelli's side until his death in 1958, as his most important confidante, valued adviser, and friend.
