This pr<strong>of</strong>essional live production holds a powerful message for our culture, at a<br />
time when religious freedom and values are under attack. <strong>The</strong> drama poignantly<br />
illustrates <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish <strong>Catholic</strong> priest whose courage in <strong>the</strong><br />
face <strong>of</strong> attacks against his faith led to his imprisonment in <strong>the</strong> Auschwitz concentration<br />
camp. He was forced into slave labor, tortured and finally came forward to take <strong>the</strong><br />
place <strong>of</strong> a married man, who was condemned to death by starvation.<br />
Don’t miss <strong>the</strong> opportunity to experience this timely live drama.
Pastor’s Corner<br />
This weekend we celebrate <strong>the</strong> Nativity <strong>of</strong> John <strong>the</strong><br />
Baptist – an unusual feast for a Sunday, but an important one.<br />
Two thousand years after God’s covenant with Abraham, God<br />
sent John, <strong>the</strong> last and greatest prophet, to His chosen people.<br />
John was <strong>the</strong> one who prepares <strong>the</strong> way for <strong>the</strong> coming <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
new, everlasting King. <strong>The</strong> birth <strong>of</strong> John <strong>the</strong> Baptist is like a<br />
huge billboard that sums up <strong>the</strong> whole history <strong>of</strong> salvation and<br />
says, “God hasn’t forgotten about us, and He never will forget<br />
about us!”<br />
This is <strong>the</strong> truly amazing thing about God – not just<br />
that He exists, but that He is so interested in our lives and so<br />
active in <strong>the</strong> world. God cares about sinners and wants to save<br />
<strong>the</strong>m.<br />
God does <strong>the</strong> extraordinary through <strong>the</strong> ordinary. For<br />
example, God gives us evidence <strong>of</strong> God’s constant action<br />
through <strong>the</strong> beauty <strong>of</strong> creation, <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong> friends and family<br />
and <strong>the</strong> normal experiences <strong>of</strong> life. Think about <strong>the</strong> weight <strong>of</strong> a<br />
proton and <strong>the</strong> charge <strong>of</strong> an electron, <strong>the</strong> most basic realities<br />
behind <strong>the</strong> very possibility <strong>of</strong> life on earth. Why don’t <strong>the</strong><br />
supposed laws <strong>of</strong> evolution change <strong>the</strong>se realities? Why don’t<br />
<strong>the</strong>y fluctuate? What keeps <strong>the</strong>m steady? <strong>The</strong> answer is God.<br />
God created <strong>the</strong> universe and God’s loving plan keeps<br />
sustaining it.<br />
John <strong>the</strong> Baptist’s whole life, from his birth to his<br />
martyr’s death, was a billboard for this all important truth, that<br />
God is active in <strong>the</strong> world. John’s awareness <strong>of</strong> this truth<br />
spurred him on to show and remind people <strong>of</strong> God’s interest in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir lives, through his example, words and actions. He was<br />
faithful to his life’s mission, because he knew that God wanted<br />
to work through him to pave <strong>the</strong> way for Christ, to change<br />
people’s lives for <strong>the</strong> better.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Church, which includes you and me, is renewing<br />
our awareness <strong>of</strong> that same truth, and <strong>the</strong> first and most<br />
important place where we can carry out that mission is in our<br />
families. It means to be like Christ, to be a kind <strong>of</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>r and<br />
sister that Christ would be if He were in our place. It means to<br />
be a Christ-like fa<strong>the</strong>r, mo<strong>the</strong>r, cousin or grandparent. It<br />
means striving every day to be honest, patient and forgiving, to<br />
care as much about <strong>the</strong> successes and problems <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs as<br />
about our own.<br />
But none <strong>of</strong> us can be Christ-like<br />
if we depend on our own strength. It was<br />
God who gave St. John <strong>the</strong> Baptist his<br />
mission and it was God’s grace that<br />
enabled him to fulfill it. Jesus feeds us<br />
with God’s Word and <strong>Sacrament</strong>s, giving<br />
us <strong>the</strong> same grace, that very strength that<br />
has worked wonders throughout salvation<br />
history.<br />
God is still active in our world and He will prove it to<br />
us once again through <strong>the</strong> Mass, <strong>the</strong> Eucharist, by coming to<br />
us in Holy Communion. When God does this, let’s thank God<br />
for all He has done for us, and let’s ask God to give us <strong>the</strong><br />
courage we need to help Him do even more.<br />
******<br />
A husband sat in <strong>the</strong> living room with his hand on <strong>the</strong><br />
television channel button. "Hey, Beverly,” he shouted to his<br />
wife in <strong>the</strong> kitchen, “Is <strong>the</strong>re anything you want to say before<br />
football seasons starts?”<br />
When Bob was in <strong>the</strong> army, he was lined up with <strong>the</strong><br />
rest <strong>of</strong> his platoon at drill one morning. His commanding<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficer drew a line in <strong>the</strong> dirt in front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> platoon. “OK,” <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong>ficer barked, “I want every man who is henpecked by his<br />
wife to step over <strong>the</strong> line.” <strong>The</strong> entire platoon stepped over <strong>the</strong><br />
line, with <strong>the</strong> exception <strong>of</strong> Bob<br />
<strong>The</strong> commanding <strong>of</strong>ficer walked up to Bob, looked<br />
him in <strong>the</strong> eye and said, “Soldier, why didn’t you step<br />
forward?”<br />
Bob replied, “My wife told me not to.”<br />
Hope you are enjoying <strong>the</strong> summer with family and<br />
friends. Jesus would like to join you so don’t forget to invite Him.<br />
God Bless! Fr. Pat<br />
Reflection Corner<br />
As we celebrate <strong>the</strong> birth <strong>of</strong> St. John <strong>the</strong> Baptist this weekend we hear <strong>the</strong> story <strong>of</strong> his naming. <strong>The</strong> tradition <strong>of</strong> passing a name<br />
on in <strong>the</strong> family was much stronger in <strong>the</strong> Near East than it is in present day America. A string <strong>of</strong> names helped identify a person's<br />
tribe as well as his relationship within <strong>the</strong> group. When Elizabeth and Zechariah wanted to give <strong>the</strong>ir child <strong>the</strong> name "John," <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
neighbors and relatives immediately pointed out that none <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir o<strong>the</strong>r relatives had that name.<br />
In Luke's Gospel, what happens to John precedes -and in some ways foretells- what will happen to Jesus. <strong>The</strong>re is <strong>the</strong><br />
announcement <strong>of</strong> a miraculous conception. <strong>The</strong>re is some hesitation on <strong>the</strong> part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> husband. A name is given to each child by<br />
an angel. <strong>The</strong>re is a prediction <strong>of</strong> what this child will be. <strong>The</strong> fact that John's name (as well as Jesus') was divinely selected points<br />
to a greater reality at work. God has something to do with <strong>the</strong> direction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se lives. We, who carry <strong>the</strong> name Christian, should<br />
also recognize that God has something to do with <strong>the</strong> direction <strong>of</strong> our lives as well.<br />
