MASS INTENTIONS July 13tH

Using the best seeds doesn’t always guarantee the best plants. An older Italian gentleman straight from Italy gave me these amazing tomato seeds that he claimed produced the best toma-toes ever grown. Without doubt, the fruit he shared with me was a testament to that fact. These tomatoes were amazing! I couldn’t wait until the next growing season to plant these seeds and harvest my own tomatoes. The whole experiment ended up a failure. I did everything the gentleman said, but my fruit didn’t even come close. What happened? At first I was perplexed, then some years later the light dawned. The problem wasn’t the seeds, it was the soil!

You cannot sow seeds in any old place and in a haphazard way and expect them to be at their best. It doesn’t work that way. Planting the seeds is the easiest part. Preparing the soil is the challenge. Tilling, mulching, enriching, and building up the nutri-ents are all required for good fruit. Then after the seeds are planted, more care is required in order to maintain that healthy, nutrient rich environment for those seeds to sprout, grow, and flourish. God happily sows the seeds of his Word. What do we do with them?

If we expect to be a passive bystander and have good fruit magi-cally grow, we are mistaken. Bearing the good fruit of God’s Word requires preparation and work. We have to cultivate the soil of our lives so that those seeds can find a proper home. This one thing alone takes a great deal of patience, time, and effort. What kind of preparation have we put into our lives so that we can be a recipient of God’s seed? It takes a great deal of soul-searching and ego-checking to properly prepare. God is the ever faithful and persistent sower. If the seeds do not bear fruit the first time, God will come back time and time again, giving it an-other try.

If we have created a suitable bed for sowing, then once the seed is sown, we must properly maintain them. What is our mainte-nance plan for the seeds of God’s Word? We need not only a source for water but a watering schedule. We need to weed, aerate the soil, nurture the young plants, protect them, and pro-vide proper nutrients. What does our spiritual maintenance plan look like? If we have done all things well, imagine what the seeds of God’s Word could produce in us!

Who's Your Spiritual Hero or Heroine?

Every boy needs a hero-someone to look up to, someone to follow. Every girl needs to know she is cherished, that she can give her heart to someone who will honor and care for her. Adults need a hero, too.

Our Gift Shop is filled with statues, medals and books to learn about fathers like Saint Joseph and apostles like Saint Peter, as well as virgin martyrs like Saint Lucyand visionaries like Saint Bernadette. God's dream for each of His sons and daughters is to become a saint -- fully human and fully holy.

Learning about the lives of the Saints will help everyone see how others have fulfilled God's dream and how we all can, too.

WE GATHER TOGETHER

1. We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;

He chastens and hastens his will to make known; The

wicked oppressing now cease from distressing: Sing

praises to his name; he forgets not his own.

2. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Whose

kingdom calls all to the love which endures. So from the

beginning the fight we were winning: You, Lord, were at

our side; all glory be yours!

3. We all do extol you our leader triumphant, And pray that

you still our defender will be. Let your congregation

escape tribulation: Your name be ever praised! O Lord,

make us free!

Text: Wilt heden nu treden, Netherlands folk hymn; tr. by Theodore Baker, 1851-1934, alt.

SEEDS, SCATTERED AND SOWN

Refrain: Seed, scattered and sown, wheat, gathered and

grown, bread, broken and shared as one, the

Living Bread of God. Vine, fruit of the land, wine, work

of our hands, one cup that is shared by all; the Living

Cup, the Living Bread of God.

1. Is not the bread we break a sharing in our Lord? Is not

the cup we bless the blood of Christ outpoured?

2. The seed which falls on rock will wither and will die. The

seed within good ground will flower and have life.

3. As wheat upon the hills was gathered and was grown,

So may the church of God be gathered into one.

Text: Didache 9 , 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, Mark 4:3-6; Dan Feiten, © 1987, Ekklesia Music, Inc.

YOU SATISFY THE HUNGRY HEART

Refrain: You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of

finest wheat; Come give to us, O saving Lord, The bread

of life to eat.

1. As when the shepherd calls his sheep, They know and

heed his voice; So when you call your fam'ly, Lord, We

follow and rejoice.

2. With joyful lips we sing to you Our praise and

gratitude, That you should count us worthy, Lord, To

share this heav'nly food.

YOU SATISFY THE HUNGRY HEART (Continued)

3. Is not the cup we bless and share The blood of Christ

outpoured? Do not one cup, one loaf, declare Our

oneness in the Lord?

4. The myst'ry of your presence, Lord, No mortal tongue

can tell: Whom all the world cannot contain Comes in

our hearts to dwell.

5. You give yourself to us, O Lord; Then selfless let us be,

To serve each other in your name In truth and charity.

Text: Omer Westendorf, 1916-1998, © 1977, Archdiocese of Philadelphia

ALL WHO HUNGER

1. All who hunger, gather gladly; holy manna is our bread.

Come from wilderness and wand'ring. Here, in truth, we

will be fed. You that yearn for days of fullness, all

around us is our food.

Refrain: Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see

that God is good. Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste

and see that God is good.

2. All who hunger, never strangers, seeker, be a welcome

guest. Come from restlessness and roaming. Here, in

joy, we keep the feast. We that once were lost and

scattered in communion's love have stood.

3. All who hunger, sing together; Jesus Christ is living

bread. Come from loneliness and longing. Here, in

peace, we have been led. Blest are those who from this

table live their lives in gratitude.

BRING FORTH THE KINGDOM

1. Cantor: You are salt for the earth, O people:

All: Salt for the Kingdom of God!

Cantor: Share the flavor of life, O people:

All: Life in the Kingdom of God!

Refrain: Bring forth the Kingdom of mercy, Bring forth

the Kingdom of peace; Bring forth the Kingdom of

justice, Bring forth the City of God!

2. Cantor: You are a light on the hill, O people:

All: Light for the City of God!

Cantor: Shine so holy and bright, O people:

All: Shine for the Kingdom of God!

3. Cantor: You are a seed of the Word, O people:

All: Bring forth the Kingdom of God!

Cantor: Seeds of mercy and seeds of justice,

All: Grow in the Kingdom of God!

COMMUNITY FOR CHRIST

Why Do Catholics Baptize Babies?

Question: Why do Catholics baptize babies? Answer: For adults who want to be baptized, the celebration only takes place after a long, guided, and thoughtful process through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. This is also true for many Protestant Christians, who are baptized later in life, often after a personal, transforming religious experience. So, it seems fair to ask why our Catholic tradition includes infant baptism. After all, if we make adults who want to become Catholic wait months and even years as they grow in their understanding of Christ and his teachings, why should babies — who “do nothing” — be baptized? Our custom of infant baptism dates back to the earliest days of the Church, when St. Paul baptized entire households, including, we presume, children (see Acts 16:15, 33; 18:8). That had become common practice by the second century. When Christianity was legalized 200 years later, infant baptism became the normal practice throughout the Church. We recognize that in Baptism, we are given the grace to overcome original sin — the human tendency to choose ourselves and our own wills over God — and to become members of the Church. This is the gift we give to infants in Baptism. In its essence, the baptism of infants also reminds us adult Christians that the gift of salvation and membership in the Church (i.e., the Body of Christ) is God’s initiative. It is freely offered to us, regardless of where we might be in life’s journey. Salvation isn’t something we earn. Instead, we see that Baptism is the beginning of a lifelong process of growing into the kind of disciples that Jesus wants us to be. To learn more, see the “Catechism of the Catholic Church” (no. 1250-1252 and 1262-1270).

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP—RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS: Focus On The Good

When I was a child, my mother had a set of sculptures resembling three human heads. One head had hands over the ears, one had

hands over the eyes, and one had hands over the mouth. Of course, they depicted the phrase, “Hear no evil; see no evil; speak no evil.”

I have seen these images repeated many times since then, usually as the monkey heads from a Japanese proverb, which would have

probably seemed a little less creepy to me when I was a small child. Apparently, there is no consensus about the full meaning or

certain origin of these three images nor the phrase. At the very least, it causes us to reflect on the need to avoid evil and look for the

good in things.

As I have lived my life, I have come to believe there are more people who lives their lives in a contrary manner to these images. It is

not that they seek evil, but it is as if they “see no good, hear no good, and speak no good.” Gossiping is the way they pass the time, and

they always seem to find the negative in people and situations. Being a good steward certainly means that we do not seek evil, but

more than that, it means that we see the abundance of good things all around us. These gifts of God are big and little, profound and

ordinary. By seeing the world in this way, we begin to change our personalities and our overall disposition. We always need to follow a

new proverb: see all the good, hear all the good, and speak about the good. Amen .
