3 The Great Commandment is Not Always Easy to Live Out At daily Mass, one of the intercessions that I pray is, We pray for our government leaders, that they may promote the common good and not their own self interest. It is our Christian duty to pray for our government leaders, whether we voted them or not. We want peace in our world. I specifically say, Common Good, because it is a Catholic principle. Catechism 1906 states, By common good is to be understood the sum total of social conditions which allow people, either as a groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfillment more fully and more easily. The common good concerns the life of all. It calls for prudence from each, and even more from those who exercise the office of authority. (Catechism 1906). The common good has three main elements. They include, respect for each person, social well-being and development of the group itself, and peace or stability. The Common Good applies to all people and ensures them basic necessities such as shelter, food and freedom of religion. The Common Good is the peace of Christ living in each one of our hearts. Over the past few weeks immigration, especially with the separation of families has been in the headlines. Many people have different views on this issue. Some people are for heightened immigration reform, other people want sanctuary cities, and some are indifferent. The tricky part is that from a Catholic perspective all of these views are moral. A country is justified in having immigration policies and having penalties for people breaking the law. A country does have the duty to help those who are not having their basic needs met in their place of origin. Promoting the Common Good is a duty for each nation. The issue of concern is the separation of families. The Catholic Church is Pro-Life and if we are Pro-Life, then we are Pro-Family. Families, by natural law, are meant to be together. The President issued a decree to stop the separation of families on Wednesday. This is positive from a Catholic perspective. There is no question that there needs to be immigration reform. The key is that we need to always keep in mind the Common Good. Each person deserves the basic necessities in life. The Great Commandment is to love God and show this love of God through Love of neighbor. To love is to will the good of the other. When we think, pray, debate and vote on this issue and all other issues, we must always think about our neighbor and their basic rights that are due to them by God. We are entitled to our own rights as well. The key is to always bring these issues to prayer and to think how Christ would react. I ask that we keep our nation, our government leaders, and all those who are less fortunate than we are in the charity of our prayers. The greatest weapon we have to promote the Common Good is to pray! God Bless,

4 Second Collection next weekend June 30-July 1 Peter s Pence Collection Thank you so much for your Generosity! Father Joe Eagan is back! On Tuesday, June 26th, at 7:00 pm, at St. Anselm's Centennial Hall, Fr. Eagan will be giving a program on Ross Douthat s controversial new book on Pope Francis: To Change the Church: Pope Francis and the Future of Catholicism. Douthat is critical of the Pope, and has gone so far as to suggest Pope Francis may cause a schism in the Church between liberal and conservative wings. This should make for a lively discussion.
