PRAYER FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIBERTY

O God our Creator, from your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ.

Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society.

We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.

Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome—for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us—this great land will always be “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Copyright © 2012, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. Image, istockphoto.com

+ KNOW OUR CATHOLIC FAITH + THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

THE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES

CHARITY ⇡

Charity is the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for his own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.

Jesus makes charity the new commandment. By loving his own "to the end," he makes manifest the Father's love which he receives. By loving one another, the disciples imitate the love of Jesus which they themselves receive. Whence Jesus says: "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love." And again: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."

Fruit of the Spirit and fullness of the Law, charity keeps the commandments of God and his Christ: "Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love."

CCC 1822-1824

NEWS On Sunday, July 6th, Parishioners Nancy Paul, Kerry Daly, and Mary Dombrowski joined Father Peter West outside the Planned Parenthood clinic in East Bremerton. Father West is conducting the Ocean to Ocean Campaign in Defense of Life with the image of the Black Madonna, the Virgin of Czestochowa - Queen and Protectress of Poland. The traveling icon (a copy of the original at the Jasna Gora Monastery in Poland) has travelled to date 40,000 miles through Russia and Europe, followed by a trip across the USA. At the Bremerton abortion clinic, Father West led parishioners from St. Cecilia, Start of the Sea, and Saint Olaf parishes in a recitation of the Rosary. At each of the decades of the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries, Father West delivered a brief meditation on the relation of the mystery to the respect for life from conception to natural death.

Earhart, familiar member of Saint Cecilia Parish, completed three years of on-line study with the Augustine Institute of Denver, Colorado, and earned her Master of Arts degree in Theology.

THE FRUGAL CATHOLIC – by MARTHA WILD KING

“REVERSE GLEANING or DEJUNKING”

We’ve discussed gleaning outside the home and gleaning inside. What I’d like to address now is Reverse Gleaning—known as de-junking. When my lovely neighbor Barbara Kowalski, a senior citizen and mother of five, read The Frugal Catholic gleaning articles, she stated, “I don’t want to glean anymore; I just want to reverse glean.” Easier said than done, for it requires getting rid of whatever we don’t need or use. And three very tough questions remain: 1. How’d we get so much stuff in the first place? 2. How do we truly let it go? 3. And how do we keep it from returning?

To answer the first question of excess stuff, it is important to look at our motives. Some people are “born to shop” whether they want to

acknowledge it or not. And if you are a diligent thrift store shopper, it is easy to keep acquiring whatever catches your eye. Take for example my “blue bird of happiness collection.” It began with one happy bluebird given to me as a wedding gift. Now some 34 years later, the center of our dining table is chirping with fourteen happy bluebirds all of which have been garnered second hand. I even have a sitting salt bluebird and a perched pepper one, just in case someone mixes up their spices. What amazes me, however, is how those darned things keep flying into the Goodwill or thrift shops at exactly the same time I happen in.

My problem, of course, is self-restraint. Some have it: others lack it. If the price is right, I find it hard to say no. My sister and husband, on the other hand, have absolutely NO problem saying NO. I marvel at their ability! So how does one, who likes pretty things--used clothes, jewelry, shoes, household items (you get the picture)—conquer excess? Sadly the best way is to STAY OUT OF

STORES. That includes thrift stores, yard sales, catalogs and on-line shopping sales. You simply have to go cold turkey.

Now regarding question two on how to let items go, several ideas come to mind. One way is to “release” an article when you bring another into the house. Jeanette, a mother on Bainbridge Island, hangs her clothes so the hanger is facing forward after she wears an article, and at the end of the season, all articles which are facing backwards (meaning they haven’t been worn) are shipped off to Goodwill. Another way is to have a large basket near the front door or somewhere obvious. Force yourself to weekly put unused clothes and house objects in this basket. After a month or two, itemize and record the pieces giving them one-third of their original value. Take them to your favorite thrift store and deduct the total from your taxes. Every year, we amass several thousand in tax deductions from this simple act, and our contributions are helping others in need. Less stuff for us: more money and jobs for others. Of course for any big (or small) items you want to donate, giving to Saint Vincent de Paul provides donations which help provide direct assistance to the poor in local communities throughout the United States. Or try Craig’s List or any free give away site in your local area. We unloaded a forty-five-year-old piano that was no longer being used to a family who really wanted it.

And for our final question: How to we keep that STUFF from returning? Well Saint Paul gives us our best advice in Philippians 4:11 (RSVCE) “11 Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. 13 I can do all things in him who strengthens me.” Obviously contentment only comes from looking to Him—Jesus--for our happiness; not to our heaps of stuff. Now that is an idea worth hoarding! www.thefrugalcatholic.com
