June 24, 2018 - The Nativity of John the Baptist

CREDO: A New Evangelization Witness

by Fr. Bob Schreiner

Within the devotional life of the Catholic Church, there is a generally accepted

practice of assigning units of time with a special focus. The example most all of

you might be familiar with is within the devotion of the Holy Rosary. Each day of

the week has a specific Set of Mysteries assigned on which to focus. Monday - the

Joyful Mysteries; Tuesday - the Sorrowful Mysteries; Wednesday - the Glorious

Mysteries; Thursday - the Luminous Mysteries; Friday - the Sorrowful Mysteries;

Saturday - the Joyful Mysteries again; and Sunday - the Glorious Mysteries again.

So, too, each day of the week is assigned a special devotional focus which can aide

in guiding and shaping our thoughts, meditations and prayers. Traditionally: Sun-

days are focused on the Resurrection & Holy Trinity; Mondays are dedicated to the

Holy Spirit & The Poor Souls in Purgatory; Tuesdays focus in on The Holy

Angels; Wednesdays is for St. Joseph; Thursdays keys in on the Gift of the Holy

Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament; Fridays, of course, are dedicated to the Passion

of Christ and his Sacred Heart while Saturdays follow with Our Lady's Sorrows

and her Immaculate Heart.

And lest any smidgen of time be left undedicated to a celestial thought - the Church

traditionally assigned a devotional focus for each month as well. January - The

Holy Name of Jesus; February - The Holy Family; March - St. Joseph; April - The

Blessed Sacrament; May - The Blessed Virgin Mary; June - The Sacred Heart of

Jesus; July - The Precious Blood of Jesus; August - The Immaculate Heart of

Mary; September - the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin; October - The Holy

Rosary; November - The Poor Souls in Purgatory; and December - The Immaculate

Conception and the Incarnation of the Word.

This practice of the devotional life of the Church is intended to remind us of what

we pray over the Paschal Candle: "Jesus Christ, yesterday and today, the begin-

ning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega; all time belongs to him and all the

ages, forever and ever. Amen." Thus the Church in her devotional prayer infuses

time itself with the rhythm of holy thoughts and prayers...

Next week, I will say more about the Month of July and the devotion to the

Precious Blood of Jesus.

“…Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to

unfasten the sandals of his feet.” – ACTS 13:25

Stewardship is a lifestyle, it’s not a program or a process. It’s how we are called to live our lives twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! It challenges us to live “God-centered” lives, not “self-centered” lives. Reflect on your daily activities, do you do them for the glory of God or

for the glory of your own name?
