His aged parents, childless,conceive a son in <strong>the</strong>ir old age just as Abraham and Sarah had conceived Isaac. God's promise of salva<strong>tions</strong>eems <strong>to</strong> include <strong>the</strong> delayed birth of very extraordi<strong>na</strong>ry children!John was, as <strong>the</strong> prophet <strong>Isaiah</strong> says, known <strong>to</strong> God from his earliest days, fashioned in <strong>the</strong> womb of hismo<strong>the</strong>r, Elizabeth, in secret, before anyone but she knew. He was strong in spirit from before his birth, and hegrew <strong>to</strong> become <strong>the</strong> most powerful preacher and prophet. He was <strong>the</strong> chosen forerunner of <strong>the</strong> Lord; Elijah <strong>the</strong>prophet come back <strong>to</strong> announce <strong>the</strong> coming of <strong>the</strong> Messiah and <strong>to</strong> prepare <strong>the</strong> people by a baptism of repentance.Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONIt’s midsummer day! We have <strong>the</strong> advantage of celebrating one of <strong>the</strong> great hidden treasures of our liturgicalcalendar on a Sunday this year. There are only three “<strong>na</strong>tivity” feasts on our calendar: for <strong>the</strong> Lord, <strong>the</strong>Blessed Mo<strong>the</strong>r (September 8), and <strong>to</strong>day’s birth of <strong>the</strong> Baptist. Today’s date is anchored by <strong>the</strong> Annunciation(March 25), when Mary learns not only of her own child’s advent, but of Elizabeth’s child. We are exactly halfa year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong tradi<strong>tions</strong> around this feast. Just as <strong>the</strong> winter solstice providesa rich vocabulary for Christmas, so does <strong>the</strong> abundance of <strong>light</strong> at midsummer inform this celebration.Just as at Christmas, a religious festival spills over in<strong>to</strong> culture. As summer <strong>light</strong> reaches its peak, <strong>the</strong> sundrenchedzones of nor<strong>the</strong>rn Europe see people staying up all night, kindling “St. John’s fires” in <strong>the</strong> long summertwi<strong>light</strong>. Bonfires seem <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> unifying force in all <strong>the</strong>se celebra<strong>tions</strong>, kindled along <strong>the</strong> shores of <strong>the</strong>St. Lawrence in Quebec and Montreal, with harbor illumi<strong>na</strong><strong>tions</strong> in France. You may be most interested in <strong>the</strong>cus<strong>to</strong>m in San Juan, Puer<strong>to</strong> Rico, <strong>the</strong> Baptist’s own city. People <strong>the</strong>re <strong>will</strong> leap in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> sea between midnightand dawn <strong>to</strong> honor John. Why not find <strong>you</strong>r way <strong>to</strong> a pool, a lake, or a sandy beach <strong>to</strong>day and plunge in <strong>to</strong> recall<strong>you</strong>r baptism? It’s a tradition!—James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.Pre-Jordan session is a prerequisite for Baptism. Sessions are offered quarterly. The next class<strong>will</strong> be Tuesday, July 17th.

I’dlose my job! What if something should happen’ protests <strong>the</strong>driver, wishing he’d never gone <strong>to</strong> work that morning.‘Who’s going <strong>to</strong> tell’ says <strong>the</strong> Pope with a smile.Reluctantly, <strong>the</strong> driver gets in <strong>the</strong> back as <strong>the</strong> Pope climbs inbehind <strong>the</strong> wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decisionwhen, after exiting <strong>the</strong> airport, <strong>the</strong> Pontiff floors it, accelerating<strong>the</strong> limo <strong>to</strong> 205 kph. (Remember, <strong>the</strong> Pope is German.)‘Please slow down, Your Holiness’ pleads <strong>the</strong> worried driver,but <strong>the</strong> Pope keeps <strong>the</strong> pedal <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> metal until <strong>the</strong>y hear sirens.‘Oh, dear God, I’m going <strong>to</strong> lose my license...and my job!’moans <strong>the</strong> driver.The Pope pulls over and rolls down <strong>the</strong> window as <strong>the</strong> copapproaches, but <strong>the</strong> cop takes one look at him, goes back <strong>to</strong> hismo<strong>to</strong>rcycle, and gets on <strong>the</strong> radio.‘I need <strong>to</strong> talk <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chief,’ he says <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> dispatcher.The Chief gets on <strong>the</strong> radio and <strong>the</strong> cop tells him that he’ss<strong>to</strong>pped a limo going 205 kph. ’So bust him,’ says <strong>the</strong> Chief.‘I don’t think we want <strong>to</strong> do that, he’s really important,’ said<strong>the</strong> cop.The chief exclaimed, ‘All <strong>the</strong> more reason!’‘No, I mean really important,’ said <strong>the</strong> cop with a bit of persistence…The Chief <strong>the</strong>n asked, ‘Who do <strong>you</strong> have <strong>the</strong>re, <strong>the</strong> mayor?’Cop: ‘Bigger.’ Chief: ‘A se<strong>na</strong><strong>to</strong>r?’ Cop: ‘Bigger.’Chief: ‘The Prime Minister?’ Cop: ‘Bigger.’‘Well,’ said <strong>the</strong> Chief, ‘who is it?’ Cop: ‘I think it’s God!’The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, ‘What <strong>make</strong>s <strong>you</strong>think it’s God?’Cop: ‘His chauffeur is <strong>the</strong> Pope!’Thank <strong>you</strong>, Jan Klie, for sending our humor for <strong>the</strong> week!MARQUETTE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLPosi<strong>tions</strong> OpenA Girl’s Soccer Coach & A Cross Country CoachSend resume & cover letter <strong>to</strong>: sulrich@marquettecatholic.org13TH ANNUAL HOSPICE OF SOUTHERN ILLINOISBENEFIT GOLF TOURNAMENTFar Oaks Golf Club, Caseyville, IL, Friday, June 29.
