"The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.'

NEWPORT TO SPONSOR THE VIETNAM MOVING WALL Bringing the Vietnam Moving Wall to Newport July 16-20 has been the work of many individuals and groups within the

community and beyond. The half-size model of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. will be set up at the Newport Cemetery. Boy Scouts will also conduct a flag retirement ceremony that afternoon.

During the visit, a Stand Down is scheduled on Saturday, July 18 from 8 a.m.to 2 p.m. at Newport High School. The Farmers Market (236 S. Union) will honor veterans on July 18, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. with gifts for veterans who come by. A special used book sale focusing on military fiction and non-fiction will be hosted by the Newport Friends of the Library

at the Market on Saturday, July 18. Questions about the Stand Down may be directed to Brad: 509-671-3585. Questions about the book or the market

events call Becky 307-272-8922

That question usually means: “Do you know how important I am?” Reputation, status, and celebrity are

extraordinarily significant in today’s society. Vulnerable, unsure beings that we are, we need to be reassured that

we are important. And we are important, though usually not the way society might perceive it. Each of us is

unique. Yet our personal uniqueness does not diminish the uniqueness of others, and there’s the rub! So often

we think that it does. That’s when we might try to put others down or demand: “Do you know who I am?”

Often we don’t really know who we are. This is where humility enters the picture. In today’s first reading, the

king rides on a donkey. He doesn’t need a mighty warhorse to show others his importance or to reassure himself

of his royal identity. Nor does he need military armaments like a chariot or bow to establish peace. He is secure

with himself. He knows who he is—no more, but no less. The Gospel portrays Jesus as “meek and humble of

heart” (Matthew 11:29). He knows who he is. He is the Son of the Father, sent by the Father to do the will of

the Father. All things are in his hands, because he received everything from the Father. He does not have to

broadcast this or argue with others to convince them. He knows who he is. He is the Son—no more, but no

less. And what about you? Do you know who you are?

—Sr. Dianne Bergant, CSA
