Four weeks ago, the Gospel told of Jesus visiting his home of Nazareth and being poorly received by his family members. Jesus had attracted a large crowd as he preached, and his concerned relatives came to bring him home. Jesus, they thought, was out of his league. Today Jesus takes things further. He returns to Nazareth. Rather than preaching from his house, he enters the synagogue. He speaks eloquently. The listeners acknowledge that "wisdom has been given him" and recognize the "mighty deeds wrought by his hands," but it is too much for them to bear. "Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary?" The listeners know his whole clan, his male and female relatives. Jesus as carpenter was acceptable. Even Jesus as fringe preacher was interesting enough to draw a crowd. But Jesus as authoritative teacher is too much. "They took offense at him." As Christians, we have known the truth of Jesus' identity since we were first introduced to him. He is fully human and fully divine. He is the second person of the Trinity. It could be easy to look down on these 1st century listeners for their lack of faith. But where do we expect to learn our own lessons? The more we age, the easier it is to believe we understand the world and how it works. We have experience with people, with the Church, with politics, and with the affairs of daily living. We have developed criteria for first impressions. We categorize. Today we remember that the Christian life requires humility. Jesus' listeners have an expectation of how things should be, and their lack of faith causes doubt in others. "He was not able to perform any mighty deeds there." Do your assumptions limit your perspective? Who can you learn from that you did not expect? In our Catholic tradition, a Eucharistic Congress is a special gathering led by the bishop focused on our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. This will be a time of spiritual renewal for our whole dioceses. All are invited to attend. Register at rcda.org/heartsaflame September 22, 2017 at the Shrine in Auriesville.

U.S.- MEXICO BORDER Because there has been so much information in the media recently about the current situation at the U.S. Mexico border, many of you may be wondering what the church has said concerning any pastoral guidance on this difficult issue. Below is the statement issued by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, June 13 on behalf of all U.S. Bishops, including Bishop Scharfenberger. At its core, asylum is an instrument to preserve the right to life. The Attorney General s recent decision elicits deep concern because it potentially strips asylum from many women who lack adequate protection. These vulnerable women will now face return to the extreme dangers of domestic violence in their home country. This decision negates decades of precedents that have provided protection to women fleeing domestic violence. Unless overturned, the decision will erode the capacity of asylum to save lives, particularly in cases that involve asylum seekers who are persecuted by private actors. We urge courts and policy makers to respect and enhance, not erode, the potential of our asylum system to preserve and protect the right to life. Additionally, I join Bishop Joe Vasques, Chairman of USCCB s Committee on Migration, in condemning the continued use of family separation at the U.S.-Mexico border as an implantation of the Administration s zero tolerance policy. Our government has the discretion in our laws to ensure that young children are not separated from their parents and exposed to irreparable harm and trauma. Families are the foundational element of our society and they must be able to stay together. While protecting our borders is important, we can and must do better as a government and as a society, to find other ways to ensure that safety. Separating babies from their mothers is not the answer and is immoral. Adoration of Our Lord Speak Lord, for Your servant is listening. Perpetual Adoration Fulton Montgomery Deanery. We are seeking faithful committed adorers, will you be one? For more information, call Ann Jones at Coffee Hour will start on July 1st and run through August after both Masses at Holy Trinity Church.
