TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

S ome say tomato—and some say tom‐ahto—you know the old song. What do you say when you arrive at church and

see a font prepared, a baby in the wings, the pas‐chal candle burning? Well, maybe you will say that “we’re having a bap sm today,” or maybe you say “we are having a christening.” The proper term is bap sm, since that is the name of the sacrament. But the persistent use of “christening” in our cul‐ture, probably from due to the influence of the Episcopal Church, is interes ng. Bap sm, an ancient word, is from the Greek meaning to dip or to dunk. Christening is an Old English word that describes perfectly well that more than ge ng splashed with water, the person being bap zed is being “Christ‐ed.” No ma er what you call it, there’s always water involved, and then an anoin ng with chrism—fragrant olive oil consecrated as a sign of Christ’s presence—poured upon the brow as we say, “As Christ was anointed Priest, Prophet, and King, so may you live always as a member of his body, sharing everlas ng life.” So, in being Christ‐ed, you are conformed to his image, your life is ex‐pected to be a retelling of his life in miniature and you—even though you may be squirming or sleeping—are commissioned to be a priest, a prophet, a king. This means that you are called to be one who worships, you are called to speak the truth, you are called to shape the world and exercise right judg‐ment. That is the deepest treasure of our tradi on, and every me you gather to celebrate a bap sm, you renew your vows precisely so that you can be more “Christ‐ed.” No ma er what vocabulary you assign to the liturgy, the key is transforma on of the human person in the community of the Body of Christ.

PEACE

T he gree ng of peace at Mass adds substance to a message of to‐day’s readings: peace is rela onal. When we greet in peace the person near us at Mass, we share the touch of a handshake or em‐

brace, sincere eye contact, and friendly words. The scriptures speak of a similar peace. The first reading from Isaiah de‐scribes the peace of the holy city, Jerusalem, a place of prosperity and com‐fort where the “L ’s power shall be known to his servants” (Isaiah 66:14c). The Chris an understanding of peace changes slightly. Paul writes of the “peace and mercy” on all who are created anew. Jesus describes a feeling of peace that will rest on those who accept his disciples and their message. Peace is both an absence of strife and a personal blessing. May we always and sincerely bring peace to our own lives as we share it with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Faith Forma on registra on begins in July. Please see informa on later in this bulle n for details!

St. Vincent de Paul It is gra fying to work with a group in which all the members put all their efforts into their work. That work being what we do to help pay bills, provide food, and to try to eradicate the reasons that cause such problems in the first place. No, it's not always possible to solve those problems, but we do what we can.

We acknowledge these efforts... ‐ The members who do the shopping at MANNA and transport the food back to the church. ‐ Those that box the food in the pantry work hard to ensure supply at all mes. ‐ The office staff gives out those boxes throughout the week. Without their help someone from SVdP would need to be on hand at the church at all mes, and that is just not possi‐ble. ‐ The Bulle n Board is constantly updated with community resources for those in need. ‐ The taking of messages from voicemail by various SVdP members throughout the week. ‐ Numerous home visits to our clients. ‐ Note taking and data recording in the computer by the secretary. ‐ Treasurer du es. ‐ Our weekly mee ng is just the p of the iceberg and the springboard for all of these other du es that we perform in any given week.

Those things are what we Vincen ans do, and none of it could be done without your con‐nual and faithful support as well as your prayers for our efforts. We also thank Father

Adrian for the church's monthly financial contribu on to our work. We are a team, you and us, and we appreciate you being on our team!

“The threats to religious free‐dom are more subtle (in the West); many people don’t even perceive them ...Whereas in other parts of the world…it’s bloody, violent, overt, but in both cases it’s a denial of the rights of conscience, it’s a deni‐al of the fundamental freedom to relate to one’s own God.”

Catholics and Patrio sm July 4th in America is Independence Day. As the years pass and we

come further away from July 4, 1776, the understanding of the history

of the day erodes away and becomes a faint memory of a history class

in elementary school. People will have a long weekend, perhaps some

sort of party donning red, white and blue

decora ons, and fireworks to complete the

celebra on. Of course, none of these are

bad things. However, does the memory of

the history of July 4, 1776, the victory of

gaining independence from England, the

signing of the Declara on of Independ‐

ence, and the birth of a na on beginning

with 13 colonies fan the flames of patri‐

o sm in each American? Some would say “not anymore”.

What does it mean to be American and Catholic? No one will contest

that it means to be free with par cular rights, and to have a democra c

government with elected officials. What else? I asked ques ons about

patrio sm and Catholicism of two men who faithfully served America

in two different ways: Raymond Annen, now deceased, and Mike Hin‐

man, Vietnam veteran.

Raymond served our country through the poli cal agenda. To be patri‐

o c was to proudly fly your American flag with the correct rules, appre‐

ciate our men and women in the military, understand what is going on

in the White House, and vote when the me comes around. Raymond

men oned at the me of this conversa on that only 30% of Catholics

in America voted in the previous elec on. In Raymond’s memory, the

1950’s were the epitome of patrio sm. To him our contemporary

America is vastly different.

Mike Hinman linked Catholicism and patrio sm together. “Our country

was founded by men with a moral compass that was wri en into our

cons tu on. Was it perfect? No. Slavery was ins tuted.” He went on

to say, “Catholicism and patrio sm are not separate. It is necessary to

live as an American through the Catholic conscience that was devel‐

oped.”

That well‐formed Catholic conscience is the difference between being a

Catholic‐American and an American‐Catholic. What is the difference?

To be a Catholic‐American is to put an understanding of God through

the guidance of the Church in the forefront of decisions, vo ng, and

cultural acceptance. To be an American‐Catholic is to modify ones de‐

cisions, vo ng, and cultural acceptance through current sways, rather

than Church understanding. Morality is becoming more and more sub‐

jec ve and people are more comfortable looking the other way. Why?

Mike says, “The minority yells the loudest and gets what they want be‐

cause it is easier to be apathe c and let them have it rather than stand

up for what is right, moral, etc.” In our current cultural/poli cal envi‐

ronment, we need the prayers and inspira on of St. Thomas More, St.

Joan of Arc, and St. Robert Bellarmine, just

to men on a trio.

Both fellows men oned that patrio sm

unites people together. Unfortunately,

difficult events such as September 11, 2001

are those that bring the patrio c flare to

the front. However,

people have short

memories and soon

forget how they felt

about the a ack on

their homeland. Is it

possible for America to

rally around that which

is good and American?

When asked their

opinion of what hurts our patrio sm, both

men said apathy. For Raymond the fact

that people do not take a vested interest in

their government, do not vote, do not be‐

come involved in organiza ons in their com‐

muni es such as scouts or the rotary club as

they once did, was proof of a lack of inter‐

est. For Mike, our globalized economy and

loss of American companies contributed to

the loss of an American iden ty. With no

iden ty, there is nothing in which to take

pride.

Will the basic sense of ge ng behind Amer‐

ica change over night? Not likely. However,

does each American look closely at what

has been gained and lost through our his‐

torical events? Again, not likely. There are

no specific answers as to how to bring back

our patrio sm. Each of us probably has an

idea for our individual homes. The chal‐

lenge to you is to make this a year of Catho‐

lic‐American patrio sm. Read biographies

of our founding Fathers; fly your flag – with

the correct rules – or get a flag if you do not

have one; celebrate the anniversaries of our

military as well as the federal patrio c days;

discover how St. Robert Bellarmine was in‐

strumental in the development of the con‐

s tu on.

Good luck and

Happy Independence Day!!!
