Eighteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time PRO LIFE REFLECTION Suddenly, there were two men talking with Him, Moses and Elijah. —LUKE 9:30 REFLECTION AND PRAYER Jesus was transfigured; the glory of His divinity shone through His humanity, which reminds us that humanity always expresses the image of God. The Transfiguration was meant to remind the Apostles that death would not have the last word. Jesus, may Your Transfiguration be a powerful reminder that You have brought about a new kingdom of life. 2012 • 2013 YEAR OF FAITH DIOCESE OF JOLIET AUGUST CATECHISM CORNER Being Catholic means being <strong>catholic</strong>… that is to say, “universal.” Our faith goes beyond our local experience of <strong>church</strong>, stretching to the four corners of the earth. We are a global community made up of people with different cultures, languages, and experiences – yet wherever we go on this planet, the faith remains constant (as “all nations shall stream towards it,” in Isaiah 2:2-4). This month, we remember that we are, as the Second Vatican Council put forth in “Gaudium et Spes,” a Church in the modern world, a human community together in God’s house. In that spirit, we pray the universal prayer of the Church, the Liturgy of the Hours, to remind us of our common faith “so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another” (as St. Paul said in 1 Cor 12:1-31). AUGUST 4 “First, the Church is <strong>catholic</strong> because Christ is present in her. ‘Where there is Christ Jesus, there is the Catholic Church.’ In her subsists the fullness of Christ’s body united with its head; this implies that she receives from him ‘the fullness of the means of salvation’ which he has willed: correct and complete confession of faith, full sacramental life, and ordained ministry in apostolic succession. The Church was, in this fundamental sense, <strong>catholic</strong> on the day of Pentecost…” CCC, n. 830 AUGUST PRAYER INTENTION For immigrants who have brought new life to our communities.
