Message from the Padre
This week we are celebrating the Fourth of July. It is a
day of parades, political speeches, fireworks and back yard barbe-
cues. But most of all it is a day of celebrating our independence, a
celebration of freedom, sovereignty and liberty, and to remember
and give thanks to those courageous people who brought freedom
to our nation. As we celebrate our nation's independence with
pride, joy and gratitude, we also conclude this year’s commemora-
tion of the Fortnight for Freedom, the fourteen days of prayer and
witness to our religious liberty.
Yes, the 4th of July resounds with most of the world as the commemoration of the United States’
Independence, an example of freedom and liberation from oppression. But for some of us today, freedom
means individual liberties to choose or to say whatever pleases them. But Jesus tells us differently. He
says, “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” My dear friends, what good is freedom,
consecrated in the law, if we do not use the freedom to seek the truth and to speak out what we believe as
Christians. As Pope Benedict XVI once said, “Freedom is not only a gift… but with it…brings personal
responsibility.” This responsibility calls for the cultivation of virtues, self-discipline and a sense of respon-
sibility to defend our faith in truth.
Yes, we are Americans and we are also Catholics and we
are proud to be both… but in the eyes of God… we are first
Catholic. That is why when our religious freedom is threaten by
man-made laws, we need to speak up. Pope Francis has said,
“Every man and woman must be free to profess his or her faith.
Religious freedom is not only that of private thoughts or worship,
but it is a liberty to be lived both privately and publicly, accord-
ing to the ethical principles based on the teachings of Christ.” In
the light of both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis’ messages, we are then called to be witness to our
faith so that our country, our nation may be transformed into a place where the teaching of the Gospel will
one day prevail, not only in our values but also implemented in our laws.
As we celebrate Independence Day and the conclusion of the Fortnight for Freedom, let us give
thanks to those courageous men and women who brought freedom to our nation, and at the same time, let us
strive in God’s love to speak out the truth about our faith and not be afraid of whatever judgments directed at
us by those who oppose our values. Let us always remember that our freedom comes with a personal re-
sponsibility not only to ourselves, but also to our neighbors and most of all to God.

The Thirteenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time 2 Kings 4: 8-11, 14-16a
Romans 6: 3-4, 8-11
Matthew 10: 37-42
While Jesus in today’s Gospel does call us to sacrifice, his
emphasis (and that of the first reading) seems to be on the re-
wards that disciples can expect. Discipleship is not without
cost, but God’s gratitude is boundless. Let us listen today for
what God is asking each of us to do, and let us pray for the
willingness to do it without counting the cost.
The Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions

Lapsed Christians
That our brothers and sisters who have strayed from the faith,
through our prayer and witness to the Gospel, may rediscover
the merciful closeness of the Lord and the beauty of the Chris-
tian life.

Prayer for Religious Freedom
Father, we praise You and thank You
for Your most precious gifts of human
life and human freedom.
Touch the hearts of our lawmakers with
the wisdom and courage to uphold
conscience rights and religious liberty
for all. Protect all people from being
forced to violate their moral and
religious conviction.
In Your goodness, guard our freedom to
live out our faith and to follow You in
all that we do. Give us strength to be
bold and joyful witnesses.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
USCCB - Washington, DC
