It must be very difficult at times for parents, only being able to watch, hope, and pray as their children start to move away from home and begin to make their own way into the world. Will they be safe, make the right choices, be happy? Making use of images from nature, scripture reminds us that God gives the growth, whether it is to mighty cedars springing from small shoots, ripened grain sprouting from the blade, or a fully grown mustard plant emerging from the tiniest of seeds to offer its large branches as housing for the birds. Such poetic language calls us to reflect on the mystery of the kingdom of God, whose seeds were found in the various covenants extended to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, and then fully enfleshed in Jesus so many millennia ago. This kingdom continues to sprout in our day, often where least expected. Sometimes it breaks through like a mighty cedar, but more often it is a quieter blossoming, suddenly emerging like stalks of grain, or the first signs of life carried in a mother s body. I am sure God has worried for all the children of every age who have filled the earth. The kingdom of life won by Christ continues to have the power to carry all God s sons and daughters into the loving arms of the God Jesus taught us to call Father. James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

Ordinary Time: Summer A Sense of the Season What do the words Ordinary Time mean? Dorothy Day said, The words Ordinary Time in our prayer books put me in a state of confusion and irritation. To me, no time is ordinary. She was right. The Ordinary in Ordinary Time refers to ordinal counted time, not to a lack of something to celebrate. The Roman document, General Norms for the Liturgical Year and Calendar, says: Apart from those seasons having their own distinctive character [Advent, Christmastime, Lent, Triduum and Eastertime], 33 or 34 weeks remain in the yearly cycle that do not celebrate a specific aspect of the mystery of Christ. Rather, especially on the Sundays, they are devoted to the mystery of Christ in all its aspects. How do we celebrate the mystery of Christ in all its aspects? We gather every Sunday. Sunday is our original feast day. Christians have gathered every Sunday the day of Christ s resurrection, the first day of the week ever since there were Christians. When we gather on Sundays in Ordinary Time, as always, we hear the scriptures proclaimed. The church reads straight through the gospel of the year, either Matthew, Mark or Luke, each week often picking up where we left off last week. (We read John during Lent and Easter, and on feasts.) The first readings, from the first testament of the Bible, have been chosen for their relationship to the gospel passages. Many voices are heard throughout summer Ordinary Time. We also read through some of the letters of the second testament of the Bible. The mystery of Christ in all its aspects unfolds. What is the heart of our Sunday celebration? We do our eucharist; that is, we do our thanksgiving. We praise and thank God for all creation; we pray for the whole world, as we remember Christ s life, death and resurrection. We share the bread and wine, the body and blood. We are sent forth to be the body and blood of Christ in our homes, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, our towns, our cities, our country, our world. What happens in our churches every Sunday is the fruit of our week. What happens as the fruit of the week past is the beginning of the week to come. Sunday is simultaneously a point of arrival and departure for Christians on their way to the fullness of the kingdom. This is not ordinary at all. This is the fabric of Christian living.

F isch ing Lines by Deacon Howard Fischer Mounting scientific evidence shows that the Earth is warming. There is some debate as to whether this situation is man -made or simply a cycle of nature. But regardless of your personal inclinations, there is strong evidence that at the very least human activities are contributing to and magnifying climate change. Human activity is causing great harm to the health of Earth s environment in many places and in many ways. Our concern for the environment is not just tied to the question of global warming. In a few days, Pope Francis will publish a new encyclical on the environment. Care for the environment is not simply a scientific or economic issue; it is also a moral obligation. In 1990, Pope John Paul II said that the ecological crisis is a moral issue [that] has assumed such proportions as to be the responsibility of everyone. Genesis tells us that God gave humanity the responsibility of being stewards of His creation. The earth and its bountiful riches are to be treated with care, not plundered or wasted. We are also morally obligated to protect the environment out of concern for our fellow human beings (including future generations) because Creation is a gift for the benefit of all. Care for the environment has long been one of the seven principles of the Church s social teaching. Our bishops wrote back in 1999, Care for the Earth is not just an Earth Day slogan, it is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God s creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored. In addition to protecting the planet, our faith requires us to protect those who bear the brunt of any abuse of the Earth, most often the poor and the marginalized. We all need to become more green in our lifestyles at home (by more judicious use of heating and cooling, by buying more fuel-efficient vehicles and fuel conservation, etc.). We also need to take action as a nation a nation whose thirst for products and comforts contributes (directly or indirectly) to many of the activities that are damaging the environment at home and around the world. Thus, we have a moral responsibility to push for greater U.S. leadership in addressing climate issues at home and abroad. Our bishops wrote: Because of the blessings God has bestowed on our nation and the power it possesses, the United States bears a special responsibility in its stewardship of God's creation to shape responses that serve the entire human family. Pope Francis encyclical has already generated much controversy even before it has been published or read. Last week, respected Vatican reporter John Allen wrote some advice to help his readers avoid the inevitable spinning that will come from politicians and pundits who will be challenged by the Pope s words. First, Allen reminds that the encyclical will not be a political manifesto but a work of moral theology: The chief concern will be the common good, asking how someone of conscience should behave both toward others and toward the environment. Second, the Pope is continuing what has been long-standing Catholic tradition and teaching. One could go all the way back to this pope s namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, and his famous canticles to brother sun and sister moon to find a deep green streak in Catholic teaching and spirituality, Allen wrote. Occasional and unfortunate Children s Liturgy of the Word St. Mary offers Children s Liturgy of the Word at our 5:00pm Saturday and 9:30am Sunday masses. Children s Liturgy is open to all children ages 4 years to 5 th grade and there is no sign-up necessary. Children are dismissed from mass with their catechists to listen to the readings and discuss what they hear. Our team of catechists is there to share the Scripture readings and help the children better understand what they have heard. This is not a babysitting service and children are expected to behave as if they are in a religion session. We also have teen volunteers who help the leaders should a child need to use the bathroom or be returned to parents in church. Children should leave all toys, dolls, blankets, etc in church with mom and dad. If children misbehave, they could be returned to parents. Please help us make this a positive experience for everyone by talking with your children about proper behavior during Liturgy of the Word and by abiding to the guidelines set by the Liturgy of the Word team. Thank you for your support, The Liturgy of the Word Catechists REP NEWS! If you still need to register children for the fall 2015-16 sessions you may find registration forms on the parish web site or in the kiosk in the narthex. Contact Sue Matousek at the parish office with any questions. Galileo-like episodes aside, the Church has long embraced and fostered scientific inquiry as long as God is not scrubbed out of the equation. (For example, going back to Pope Pius XII in 1950, the Church has voiced acceptance of the theory of evolution.) Allen also pointed out that there is a long string of papal precedents regarding the environment. For more recent examples, I ve already quoted from St. John Paul II s message for the 1990 World Day of Peace, which was entirely dedicated to environmental themes. In 2002, John Paul signed a common ecological declaration with the Orthodox Patriarch calling on humanity to repent for its mistreatment of the environment. Pope Benedict XVI was dubbed the Green Pope for his numerous statements on the environment. He insisted there will be neither justice nor peace without strong environmental commitment. Benedict also made the Vatican Europe s first carbon-neutral state and installed solar panels atop the Vatican s main audience hall. If there s any difference now with Pope Francis, it s just that we re paying more attention this time around. God has made us the stewards of his creation. May we listen to Pope Francis with open hearts and do our utmost to live up to the responsibility which God has entrusted to us. If you wish to contact me, please leave a note in the Parish Office or send an email to deaconhwf99@yahoo.com.

Summer Lectio Divina Groups As followers of Jesus, we want to understand Scripture in a way that applies to our life today. The Christian practice of lectio divina is a way of approaching the Bible that helps Scripture to come alive. Through reading, reflecting and praying, readers trust that God will speak through Scripture when we are open to its message. As we listen and understand the Word of God and find new ways to apply it to our daily life, we become more effective witnesses to Christ. A richly rewarding way to study the Word of God. Two slightly different groups are offered this summer: Lectio Divina Prayer Group Uses traditional Lectio Divina Prayer - guided meditation on Sunday s readings.

Pray for all who suffer illness, pain and grief: Mary Arata and for the repose of all who have recently died: Thomas Schnite CD of the Month All Things Are Possible for God by Fr. Joshua Waltz As a young man, the last thing Fr. Joshua Waltz ever thought he would be was a Catholic priest. But a series of choices some bad and some good ultimately led him to enter the seminary.

While doing one of the recent Sharing Parish Ministry Soup Kitchen Saturdays in Waukegan, one of the clients took me aside and thanked me for all of the members from St. Mary who were there serving the meal. He then asked me why more people in the world can t see that people like him (those who are down on their luck) aren t some kind of disease and that if people in general could show more concern for their fellow man, the world could be a much better place. He asked, Isn t that what Jesus Christ wanted us to be about? Now I couldn t justify society s apathy for the poor, but I did remember a fable that I had come across while studying for the ministry and spun it for him. A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. What food might this package contain, he thought? He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse yelled this warning, Be careful, there is a mousetrap in the house! The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a big problem for you, but it s of no consequence to me. I can t be bothered by it. The mouse then turned to two pigs and told them, There is a mousetrap in the house! The pigs sympathized, but said, We re sorry for you, but there is nothing that we can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in our prayers. So the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer s mousetrap Alone That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, the sound of the mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer s wife went to see what was caught. In the darkness she did not see that a poisonous snake s tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and when she returned home she still had a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet into the farmyard to get some ingredients, the chicken. But the wife s illness continued and unfortunately she died. Many, many people came for her funeral, so many that the farmer had the pigs slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them at the luncheon. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. If only someone had listened to him about how dangerous it was not to be concerned about the mousetrap. My dear friends in Christ, I hope that Ron, the Soup Kitchen client, got some consolation through the fable, and I pray that we all may benefit from it so that when we hear that someone is facing a problem and we think it doesn t concern us, we remember: when one of us is threatened, (by secularism, by government infringement on our Christian beliefs in the name of political correctness, or by indifference) we are all at risk. Each and every one of us is involved in this journey called life. We are our brothers keepers, yes we are! We have to keep an eye out for one another and make efforts to not only pray (yes praying is very good), but to actually lend a hand, serve at a Soup Kitchen, deliver meals for Catholic Charities, give some of your valuable time to roll up your sleeves and get personally involved in helping others. Let s always encourage others to make those around them feel that no matter where they may be in life, that they-we-all of us always matter.
