CHILDREN ’ S FAITH FORMATION

Justice Challenge: July 11th is the feast day of St. Benedict. He founded

an order of monks, and his rules for monastic life are still followed by

religious communities today. Benedict preached moderation over self-

indulgence and asceticism. One of his most famous rules for life was to

“treat all as Christ.” Your challenge this week is to do just that-treat

everyone you see as if he/she were indeed Jesus Christ. Then at the end of

the week stop and reflect. Did doing this change you? Did it change how

you look at certain groups of people or certain individuals? Do you think

you can make this Benedictine practice part of your everyday life?

ADULT FAITH FORMATION

Scripture Study is Sunday at 9:15 am for all baptized, open to all

members of St. Joseph. Topic on July 6th will be Chastity (Our Lady of

Sorrows Room)

"Come to me, all you who labor

and are burdened, and I will give

you rest. Take my yoke upon you

and learn from me, for I am meek

and humble of heart; and you will

find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my

burden light." - Mt 11:28-30

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

"Come to me, all you who labor

and are burdened, and I will

give you rest." Who wouldn't

appreciate some real rest? Most

of us fall into the category of

those "who labor." We have

our jobs to do, our families to tend to, our

responsibilities to take care of. Often, the tasks seem

endless and our time seems so limited. How can we

justify "rest" with so many things on our to-do lists?

Even recreation can be labor intensive when it

involves planning, preparing, traveling, or hosting.

And our default modes of "resting"--whether it be

watching television, taking a nap, or chatting with a

friend--rarely refresh us for more than a few hours.

But the rest Jesus is describing is different than this.

He isn't talking about an occasional "time-out"

from the duties of life. Jesus is offering us a deeper

kind of relief, a liberation from the exhaustion of

life. This freedom comes when we take his yoke on

our shoulders. Jesus tells us, in essence, to align

ourselves with him--to do our work with him. All of

our duties and responsibilities can be done with

Jesus at our side. He does not promise that our

obligations will magically disappear. The "rest" he

offers is a kind of peace even amidst our daily lives.

The refreshment Jesus brings is the comfort of his

presence as we engage in the everyday tasks that we

are called to do. It is not that there are no longer

burdens to bear; rather, the burden is "light" when

we share it with the Lord. But just how do we share

the load? Perhaps by starting the morning in prayer

asking Jesus to assist us, or by seeking his guidance

in daily decisions, or by

offering our actions to

him. However we do it,

when we come to him as

he asked, he promises,

"you will find rest."

Desafío de Justicia: El 11 de julio es el día de San Benito. Él

fundó una orden de monjes y sus reglas para la vida monástica

son seguidas aún hoy en día, por comunidades religiosas. San

Benito predicó moderación en lugar de excesos y ascetismo.

Una de sus más famosas reglas de vida fue la de “tratar a todos

como a Cristo”. Tu desafío de esta semana es hacer precisamen-

te eso—tratar a todas las personas que veas como si fueran Je-

sucristo mismo. Luego, al final de la semana, detente y reflexio-

na en lo siguiente: ¿El hacer este desafío durante la semana te

cambió? ¿Cambió el cómo ves a cierto grupo de personas y a

ciertos individuos? ¿Crees que puedes hacer de esta práctica de

San Benito parte de tu vida?
