Today’s Readings First Reading — Elisha promises a baby son to the hos-pitable woman (2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a). Psalm — For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 89). Second Reading — We shall live in newness of life as Christ was raised from the dead (Romans 6:3-4, 8-11). Gospel — Whoever gives but a cup of cold water to an-other will surely be rewarded (Matthew 10:37-42).

Today is July 2, 2017 and the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Responsorial Psalm is, ”Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.” (Psalm 89:2-3, 16-17, 18-19) This coming week we celebrate the 4th of July. Enjoy all the fireworks; by my house it sounds more like a war zone! Be safe.

ADVICE FROM A TREE (Author Unknown)

Stand tall and proud Go out on a limb for what you know is right Remember your roots Drink plenty of water Be content with your natural beauty Enjoy the view

Some other cute thoughts:

• “Etc.”: a word used to make others believe that you know more than you actually do.

• Remember, we all smile in the same language.

• Every time I look at the keyboard, I see that U&I are always together.

Together Let Us Cause God Joy

When a child or grandchild dies―whether an infant, toddler, school aged, teen, or adult―parents mourn and begin a pro-cess of bereavement. It helps to become involved with oth-ers who have experienced something similar. Sharing eases loneliness and allows an expression of grief in an atmos-phere of acceptance and understanding. Grief is a testa-ment to the person who has left us. Love does not end, so we feel the loss for years to come. Coffee & Comfort is a place to share stories, to confide in others who truly under-stand, and to discover hope and healing. We meet on the first Monday of every month. For more information, please contact Lorraine Stephens at 708-895-6700.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It’s Independence Day week, and there is a link worth tracing between the Declaration of Independence and the language of liturgy. One of the signers of the Declaration on that July 4 long ago was Charles Carroll, probably the wealthiest man in the colonies and one of the few Catholics on the political scene. As a flourish to his signature, he sought to distinguish himself from other prominent citizens bearing the same name by penning “Charles Carroll of Carrolltown”—a defiant “come and get me if you dare” postscript aimed at the British. Carroll’s brother John was a priest and patriot who in 1789 was given the task of organizing the Catholic Church in this country. By 1791 he had assembled a syn-od, or assembly of delegates, to launch that task formally. Archbishop Carroll wanted to gain acceptance of our faith by American people who mistrusted our customs and could not comprehend our liturgy. He made the amazing proposal to Rome that our liturgy should be prayed not in Latin, but in the vernacular, English. His wish was denied, but one hundred sixty years later, his deep desire helped the American bishops and scholars at the Second Vatican Council to win the vote in favor of the vernacular not just for the United States, but for the Church throughout the world. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
