CORCORAN’S CORNER Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time… Well, the feasts of Pentecost, Trinity, Corpus Christi, and Saints Peter and Paul, have concluded, and we are back in the green growth-full weeks of the liturgical year. There is little ordinary about Ordinary Time. It is the long haul of life that all of us are in. It is a time when we put our faith into the actions of our daily lives. It is those times when we try, and fail, and forgive. The play “Our Town” captures the wonder of the ordinary. It portrays simple daily life of families and of a town. And yet, it captures the graciousness of simple acts of love and friendship. In the ordinary weeks ahead of us, let us capture the glory of God’s goodness in our lives. Welcome Aboard… This past week we ‘welcomed aboard’ to our parish staff our new parish Director of Religious Education, Ms. Susan Dehn Matthews. Susan has a Masters of Arts in Educational Administration, and a Master of Arts in Religious Education. She has over the years, served as a Director of Religious Education, and as a Pastoral Associate in various parishes. She is also a published author. I am thrilled she is joining our staff. She has much to offer our catechists, and our program. I am confident that she will build on the strong foundation of our present program, and take it to new levels. Now, get to work! Men’s Club Golf Outing… The Friday, July 11th Men’s Club Golf Outing seems to be going very well in its planning stages. It looks like there will be a good turn out and it should be a great day out. Sadly, I have other commitments that day. I will still pray for good weather. For low scores, pray to St. Jude —- patron of hopeless cases! Parish Picnic Meeting… All are welcome to attend the next meeting to help plan the parish picnic. The meeting will be held in the parish offices on Monday, July 14th at 7:00 PM. The picnic itself will be on Sunday, August 3rd, beginning with a 3:00 PM Outdoor Mass. Teen Mission Trip… Please keep our parish teens in your prayers in the days ahead as they prepare for their Mission Trip later this month. This year they will be traveling to Minnesota, leaving on Sunday, July 20th, and returning on Saturday, July 26th. The teens are very grateful to the financial support of the parish

which makes this trip possible for them. But the teens also rely on our prayers as they undertake this endeavor. Fourth of July Mass… We will have a special Fourth of July Mass at 9:00 AM in the church on Friday, July 4th. Please join us as we celebrate Independence Day, and pray for our nation. A Year In Review… This past Tuesday I began my second year as Pastor of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish. At our June Finance Board meeting some of the members asked me of my impressions of the past year. I have a number of them. First of all I am delighted to be the pastor of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish. It is a warm and welcoming community. While I was very happy as the pastor of St. Linus Parish in Oak Lawn, my 12 years as pastor there had come to an end, and the Archdiocesan pastor term policy required me to move on. While I would never have left there on my own volition, I feel I have really landed on my feet in coming to St. Elizabeth Seton. I truly enjoy large, active parishes with a school, and this parish is that in spades. St. Elizabeth Seton is definitely my kind of parish. I am inspired by the parishioners dedication to those in need, whether it is in the successful drives to support our sharing parish of St. Procopius, or with the ton+ of canned goods that we collected during Lent, or to the weekly financial support of the needs of our own parish. St. Elizabeth Seton parishioners are most generous. Our parishioners are also dedicated to visiting those in hospitals and nursing home, as well as shut-ins, and others in need in our community. The Hope Group which assists those who are seeking work during this ongoing ’Great Recession’ does mighty work in a quiet way. The parishioners also have a very healthy and delightful sense of ownership of this parish. The parish is theirs. Our community also takes spiritual growth seriously, whether it is through daily Mass, visits to the Eucharistic Chapel, praying the Chaplet of Mercy on Wednesdays, jamming the Parish Lenten Mission, attending the various Holy Week Services, or by attending weekly Mass. The parish by its actions shows that our spiritual lives are central. The parish also has a wonderful professional parish staff. Like any parish, there were some surprises when I came here. While the parish has an excellent Finance Council, it has not had a

WEDDINGS

Corcoran's Corner, Continued Parish Council for over 10 years. [That will change in a year or so as we begin the Archdiocesan “Parish Transformation Program” beginning in September. I assume that program’s process will lead to a new Parish Council.] Another anomaly is that we do not offer the Precious Blood at the 7:15 AM Sunday Mass, and offer only four chalices at the 11:30 AM Mass. I found it odd that we had no parish Boy Scout Troop [Thankfully, that changed this past April with the arrival of Troop 380]. Similarly, I found it odd that parish Religious Education children could not be part of the Cub Scout Pack [that is changed for the coming year], nor could they join the Cardinal Bernardin School Boys and Girls Basketball and Volleyball Teams. [In the coming year, the Religious Ed children will first try to form a parish team for their grade level. But ‘IF’ there are not enough participants, they will now be able to be added to the school team in the coming year.] By adding our Religious Education program children to the Cub Scouts and school sports teams it can be a real win/win for all involved in these programs. Finally, seeing growth in parish life: from all who volunteer and support our parish Religious Education program and our regional Catholic Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School, to the closer relationship we have developed with the Knights of Columbus, to the great fellowship found in the Women's Club and Men's Club, the Seniors of Seton, and the Branches Youth Group, have been highlights for me this past year. And that is saying nothing about the Conga Dance-line at the St. Patrick’s–St. Joseph’s Party. [What happens in the conga line, stays in the conga line!] It has been a great year!

Keep Smiling...

July 6, 2014 FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME April 28, 2013 September 29, 2013 April 28, 2013 Page Four

A LMOST 30 YEARS AGO I SUFFERED A SERIOUS DEPRESSION—hospitalization, meds, therapy. It was a dark year, followed by a dim couple of years, eventually followed by a kind of new birth into the light. I look now on that time as one of immense pain, but during which I learned about being a faith-filled and grateful person. There is only one thing I miss from that time: the full weight of the scriptures. Never before did the psalms hit me right where I live: My God, why have you abandoned me? Only in God is my soul at rest. Or today’s psalm: The Lord lifts up all those who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. Never since has today’s Gospel resonated within me as it did during that dark time:

Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

WHEN NOTHING HURTS, when our loved ones are safe, when the sun is shining, when we’re happy and we know it, the invitation to unburden oneself and rest in Jesus just isn’t as compelling. It’s not so much a matter of faith, as attention. Yet when we’ve been around a little while, we know that the bright times will inevitably give way to the darker times. We’ll get back test results and they won’t be good. Someone we love will hurt or hurt us. We eventually must lose our work, our home, our health. Diminishment is the name of the game after a certain age. Yet our faith is that the dark must give way to the light. There are no shadows without the sun.

It will be all right in the end. And if it’s not all right, it’s not the end.

DURING OUR PERSONAL BRIGHT TIMES it’s important for us to remember that someone in our company hurts. Someone is hearing today’s Gospel not with a hard heart but with a broken heart, and they need the message. . . desperately. There are also people we may not know, people we may never meet, who are longing for

this invitation, who need an easier yoke and a lighter burden. On this weekend that citizens of the United States are taken up with Independence Day celebrations, I think of another invitation that so many have wept with gratitude to read:

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses

yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.

I lift my lamp beside the golden door! T

HESE WORDS ARE PART OF THE POEM by Emma Lazarus inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, and many of our ancestors read them and wept with relief and gratitude. We are a nation of immigrants, one that not only tolerates but glories in the diverse heritages of our citizens. We are a hyphenated people: African-Americans, German-Americans, Irish Americans, Italian-Americans, Polish-American, Chinese-Americans. But do we stand with Lady Liberty and speak these words to today’s “tempest –tost” refugees? Is our lamp lit and held high by the golden door...or are we hiding it under a bushel? Or, worse, has our light been snuffed out by fear or greed or inattention? During the bright times when nothing hurts and our loved ones are safe, it is tempting to forget that for many, the words of today's Gospel and those of Emma Lazarus, are words of hope. And only we who believe, only we who have found a home, can make these words a reality. We are the hands, the feet ,

the voice of Christ. AND THOSE OF US WHO ARE CITIZENS of a country founded on hospitality, and identified the world over as a haven...we have a unique opportunity to make light the burden and help the weary find rest.

Human Trafficking Awareness Invitation to a Panel Discussion

Sacred Heart Domestic Violence Ministry and Fr. Patrick Tucker, Sacred Heart Church Pastor, invite you to a panel discussion on Monday, July 7th from 7-8pm with a question and answer session to follow. This event will feature FBI personnel and a Human Trafficking survivor. Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. It involves controlling a person through force, fraud or coercion to exploit the victim for forced labor, sexual exploitation or both. According to the U.S. Dept. of Justice, Human Trafficking is the second fastest growing criminal industry and approximately half of all victims are children. Chicago is identified as a national hub for Human Trafficking. The panel will be moderated by Diane O’Brien, Sacred Heart Church Domestic Violence Ministry Committee Member. Panel members will include: Colleen Ross, FBI Victim Specialist; Carrie Landau, FBI Special Agent (child sex trafficking); Michael Barker, FBI Special Agent (child sex trafficking); Ashley Kizler, FBI Special Agent (adult human trafficking); Andrea Krauth, Intelligence Analyst working with the FBI Civil Rights Program; Aubrey Lloyd, Survivor of Human Trafficking. The event will be held in the Sacred Heart Church Ministry Center located at 8245 W. 111th St., Palos Hills. Please RSVP to -974-3336, extension 6 or droel@sacredheartpalos.org. No video or photography.

Beyond Divorce Divorce is painful and often shattering and changes every aspect of a person’s life. For help in managing these changes, attend Beyond Divorce at St. Francis of Assisi Church, 151st and Wolf Rd., Orland Park on Sunday, July 13th at 7pm. This 10-session study/discussion group will use the book, Divorce and Beyond. Those divorced or in the process are invited to register. Please contact Deacon Joe Truesdale at 708-614-0286.

NIGHTFEVER On Saturday, July 19th, St. Alphonsus Parish, 1429 W. Wellington in Chicago, will host Nightfever, starting with Mass at 7:30pm and continue through the night. Last year Nightfever was brought to Chicago for the first time. Holy Name Cathedral was opened from 9pm to midnight. With the Eucharist exposed on the altar, priests available to talk or hear confessions, and quiet music playing, young adults stood on the streets around the Cathedral and invited people inside to simply light a candle before going on their way for the evening. Everyone is welcome to stay for as long or as short as they like. Over 400 people came into the Cathedral to pray; light a candle and left; others stayed for an hour; some received the Reconciliation for the first time in decades! Hearts were touched, healed, and transformed. The idea behind Nightfever is simple: Open the church, invite people in, and let Christ work. Nightfever is an outstanding experience of Christ’s love for all involved. For more information: nightfeverchicago.org.

Perhaps the most difficult character trait to live out when times are tough is that of patience. Patience, however, helps us endure—indeed, helps us suffer—our trials as we await the joy that comes after.

NEXT WEEK: PATIENCE TODAY, JOY TOMORROW

The parable of the seed that is sown is an example of how Jesus explained the myster-ies of faith in language that the people listen-ing to Him could understand. The Great Com-mandment is that we should love the Lord with all our heart and soul and strength. The rabbis asked what this meant. The response

they developed was that we should love the Lord with our intellectual ability, with our lives, and with all of our financial resources. Jesus told this parable so that we would realize that we have a solemn responsibility to cooperate with the grace of God in our lives. It is not enough to think nice thoughts about God to call ourselves Christian. We must dedicate our minds, our lives and all that we own to the service of the kingdom. Anything less will not produce true peace in the kingdom.

The nineteenth-century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins began a poem with the words, "Patience, hard thing!": And indeed it is. Our English word "patience" is derived from the Latin word passio, meaning "suffering." The hardest thing about patience is that it requires

that we loosen our grip on our situation and let what will come arrive in its own time. Patience means surrendering all attempts to force a solution; it means letting time take over so situations may run their course. In our second reading, St. Paul speaks of the contrast between our present suffering and our future redemption, deriving solace and hope from that future while recognizing that ours is a time of patience, a time of suffering. We, along with all creation, groan in our waiting. The familiar parable of the sower in today's Gospel reading is usually seen, not incorrectly, as being about the different ways in which people respond to Jesus' proclamation of God's word. But it also is a story about patience, because the seed that is sown, if it falls on good soil, takes time to come to fruition; and that time is a time which the sprouting seeds suffer tribulation, persecution, anxiety, and worldly cares that threaten to destroy them. In the time of waiting we must cultivate patience, that hard thing. But we can be confident that our patience, as difficult as it may be, is not in vain. We have faith that we will some day "share in the glorious freedom of the children of God," because we trust that God's word, which has been scattered abroad, will achieve the end for which God has sent it.

REFLECTION

The rain makes the earth fruitful (Isaiah 55:10-11). In Hebrew theology "the word" is an expres-sion of the will of God. Furthermore, words are not simply symbolic representations. In some way, they make the object represented by the word present. Words produce the real-ity that they represent. In the creation story in

Genesis we hear how God speaks words and all things are made. Thus, when God's word is poured out upon the earth, it brings about God's will. God's word that created the world was now recreating it. It is not fruitless; it is a seed that will produce an abundant harvest.

Creation awaits the revelation of the children of God (Romans 8:18-23).

When God created the world, He produced it to be good. But when Adam and Eve sinned, they brought death and alienation into the world. Adam and Eve were alienated from God (they hid from Him), from each other (they blamed each other for causing this diffi-culty), and from creation (we hear of this in the enmity between Adam and Eve and the

snake). Sin destroyed the unity and corrupted the goodness of creation. But the Spirit of God has been breathed into us. We and crea-tion have been renewed. The Spirit cries out in our hearts that we are children of God. The Spirit also works in creation for it is already proclaiming the glory of God and leading us to praise the God who created it in love.

SAINT OF THE WEEK

ST. CAMILLUS DE LELLIS

(1550-1614) HUMANLY SPEAKING, CAMILLUS WAS NOT A LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR

SAINTHOOD. HIS MOTHER DIED WHEN HE WAS ACHILD, HIS FATHER NEGLECTED HIM, AND HE GREW UP WITH AN

EXCESSIVE LOVE FOR GAMBLING. At 17 he was afflicted with a disease of his leg that remained with him for life. In Rome, he entered the San Giacomo Hospital for Incurables as both patient and servant, but was dismissed for quarrelsomeness after nine months. He served in the Venetian army for three years. Then in the winter of 1574, when he was 24, he gambled away everything he had–savings, weapons, literally down to his shirt. He accepted work at the Capuchin friary at Manfredonia, and was one day so moved by a sermon of the superior that he began a conversion that changed his whole life. He entered the Capuchin movitiate, but was dismissed because of the apparently incurable sore on his leg. After another stint of service at San Giacomo, he came back to the Capuchins, only to be dismissed again, for the same reason. Again, back at San Giacomo, his dedication was rewarded by his being made superintendent. He devoted the rest of his life to the care of the sick, and has been named, along with St. John of God, patron of hospitals, nurses and the sick. With the advice of his friend St. Philip Neri, he studied for the priesthood and was ordained at the age of 34. Contrary to the advice of his friend, he left San Giacomo and founded a congregation of his own. As superior, he devoted much of his own time to the care of the sick. Charity was his first concern, but the physical aspects of the hospital also received his diligent attention. He insisted on cleanliness and the technical competence of those who served the sick. The members of his community bound themselves to serve prisoners and persons infected by the plague as well as those dying in private homes. Some of his men were with troops fighting in Hungary and Croatia in 1595, forming the first recorded military field ambulance. In Naples, he and his men went onto the galleys that had plague and were not allowed to land. He discovered that there were people being buried alive, and ordered his brothers to continue the prayers for the dying 15 minutes after apparent death. He himself suffered the disease of his leg through his life. In his last illness he left his own bed to see if other patients in the hospital needed help.

Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass The Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary Mass will be held on Sunday, Sept.14, 2014 at 2:45pm at Holy Name Cathedral,

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover. The only requirement is a sincere desire to stop drinking.

Families Anonymous If your life has gone astray due to living with someone who has a substance abuse problem, attend Families Anony-mous on Mondays, 7-8:30pm at Palos Hospital, 123rd and 80th Ave., Palos Heights (Ambulatory Center, Room 1).
