The first is the call issued by the LORD to the prophet Amos, the shepherd and a dresser of sycamores (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out two by two (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we were baptized. The second reading invites us to ponder that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in Christ and that, in love, God destined us for adoption (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once again through God s living word.

5 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 5 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION At the time of the Reformation, although England broke away from papal authority under Henry VIII, a silent majority clung to the Catholic faith. Henry s eldest daughter, Mary, restored the old religion in a fierce persecution of Protestants (she is called Bloody Mary for good reason.) His youngest daughter, Elizabeth, rejected papal ties. Under her reign, beginning with legislation in 1593, Catholics were persecuted again, and only the very wealthy could afford the fines for not attending Anglican services on Sunday. They were called recusants, from a Latin word meaning refuse, since they refused to attend the liturgy of the Church of England. Many families maintained Catholic tradition in secret, and today their descendants claim Recusancy as a mark of family pride. For generations they sent their young people abroad to be educated in convents and monasteries. It is not surprising that the first monastery in colonial America springs from Holland with the daughters of patrician English recusant families. Port Tobacco, Maryland, proved fruitful soil for the Carmelite tradition. Upcoming online Apologetics seminars being offered by CDU Why Would a Loving God Allow Evil, Pain, and Suffering will be offered July 23rd through August 13th. Proclaiming the Reality of God: Compelling Evidence of God s Existence will be held from October 22nd through November 12th. The instructor for both seminars will be Steven Hemler, president of the Catholic Apologetics Institute of North America. Those wishing to enroll should do so at cdu.catalog.instructure.com.
