FAITH IN JESUS CHRISTMark’s Gospel account today is built on a double

astonishment or amazement: the neighbors and family of Jesus are astonished that he taught in the synagogue with wisdom and worked powerful signs. Jesus, in turn, is amazed that they have no faith in him because they know his origins, not because of any fault with his teaching or ministry. As with many of Mark’s passages, we get a rather intimate glimpse here of the human part of Jesus’ two fold nature. To reinforce his point, Mark tells of Jesus’ return to his native place, and further points out that he is in the midst of his own family members there. From the very people he expected the most, Jesus received the least. In the day of the Gospel’s writing, Mark was attempting to illustrate a lesson to the house of Israel: the God of the covenant expected the greatest faith from the house of Israel, but often received the least. This is a good source for reflection on our part, we who are Jesus’ followers today. For the wisdom of Christ to continue and for our lives to be seen as signs of his power, he must expect and be able to find great faith among us. Will he? Can he? Does he? Or is he, once again, amazed by its absence?

Why Catholic?That’s a question we all ask ourselves as we deal with the complexity of life, surrounded by information from

various sources and from people of different faiths and backgrounds.

Why Catholic? For most of us it’s the faith of our parents passed through our formative years and that as adults we continue to practice with more or less conviction. That is why, like me, we look for more meaningful ways to practice our Catholic faith and to develop a more intimate relationship with God through Jesus. We meet as a group, read the Scriptures, share, think and reflect on their meaning. We exchange our views as it applies to our everyday lives. It makes our spiritual time and prayers more meaningful. For me participating in this group helps me grow in my relationship with God, with my church and reflect on what Christ has done in my life. ~Chuck

Let us renew and strengthen our commitments to Jesus in Mass and in Adoration. Eucharistic Adoration is a wonderful devotion that adores Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament. Through a deeper love and closer relationship with Jesus, you acquire the strength, healing and peace to make it through your pilgrimage of life. When the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, someone should always be in attendance. Consider a weekly commitment to ensure that Jesus is never left alone for the 40 or so hours a week when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in our rectory Chapel.

Supreme Court Decision On Marriage “A Tragic Error” Says President Of Catholic Bishops’ Conference

Regardless of what a narrow majority of the Supreme Court may declare at this moment in history, the nature of the human person and marriage remains unchanged and unchangeable. Just as Roe v. Wade did not settle the question of abortion over forty years ago, Obergefell v. Hodges does not settle the question of marriage today. Neither decision is rooted in the truth, and as a result, both will eventually fail. Today the Court is wrong again. It is profoundly immoral and unjust for the government to declare that two people of the same sex can constitute a marriage.

The unique meaning of marriage as the union of one man and one woman is inscribed in our bodies as male and female. The protection of this meaning is a critical dimension of the “integral ecology” (relationship between organisms and the environment) that Pope Francis has called us to promote. Mandating marriage redefinition across the country is a tragic error that harms the common good and most vulnerable among us, especially children. The law has a duty to support every child’s basic right to be raised, where possible, by his or her married mother and father in a stable home.

Jesus Christ, with great love, taught unambiguously that from the beginning marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman. As Catholic bishops, we follow our Lord and will continue to teach and to act according to this truth.

I encourage Catholics to move forward with faith, hope, and love: faith in the unchanging truth about marriage, rooted in the immutable nature of the human person and confirmed by divine revelation; hope that these truths will once again prevail in our society, not only by their logic, but by their great beauty and manifest service to the common good; and love for all our neighbors, even those who hate us or would punish us for our faith and moral convictions.

Lastly, I call upon all people of good will to join us in proclaiming the goodness, truth, and beauty of marriage as rightly understood for millennia, and I ask all in positions of power and authority to respect the God-given freedom to seek, live by, and bear witness

to the truth.

USCCB, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz,

President, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

What’s the real threat to religious liberty posed by same-sex “marriage”?The legal redefinition of marriage can threaten the religious liberty of religious institutions and individuals in potentially numerous ways, involving various forms of government sanction, ranging from court orders compelling action against conscience, to awards of money damages and other financial penalties, to marginalization in public life:• Compelled Association: the government forces religious institutions to retain as leaders, employees, or members those who

obtain legalized same- sex “marriage”; or obligates wedding-related businesses to provide services for same-sex “couples.”• Compelled Provision of Special Benefits: the government forces religious institutions to extend any special benefit they

afford to actual marriage to same-sex “marriage” as well.• Punishment for Speech: preaching, political action, or conversation reflecting moral opposition to same-sex “marriage”

represents actionable “harassment” or “discrimination,” or forbidden “hate speech.”• Exclusion from Accreditation and Licensure: those who adhere to the definition of marriage are excluded from participation

in highly regulated professions and quasi-governmental functions, as licenses are revoked and religious institutions lose accredited status.

• Exclusion from Government Funding, Religious Accommodations, and Other Benefits: those who adhere to the definition of marriage are excluded from receiving government grants and contracts to provide secular social services, and from various tax exemptions.

PAS DE MAUVAISES NOUVELLES Souvent nous disons, “dites-moi ce que je veux entendre, et ne m’accablez pas avec des faits.” Et nous n’aimons pas ceux qui pourraient être assez brave pour nous dire la vérité. Le plus gros problème avec une telle attitude n’est pas que nous délaissons la vérité ou les faits, mais que nous manquons les nouveaux et surprenants cadeaux que certaines personnes peuvent nous procurer. Tout comme ceux-là dans l’histoire de l’Evangile d’aujourd’hui, nous refusons trop souvent de permettre aux autres d’exposer leurs talents qui pourraient contribuer quelque chose de bon à notre vie. Les textes de la Messe d’aujourd’hui nous appellent à l’hospitalité, à la foi et au discernement. L’acceuil ouvre les portes de nos cœurs et nos esprits à «l’étranger» qui est parmi nous, qu’il soit familier ou pas. La foi nous permet d’accepter les dons des autres, peu importe la façon alarmante ou « étrange » qu’ils peuvent employer. Le discernement nous aide à découvrir les prophètes parmi nous, peu importe la façon incroyable ou « étrange » qu’ils utilisent. Accueil, foi, et discernement – cultivez-les. Alors, personne ne pourra nous annoncer de mauvaises nouvelles.

FE EN JESUCRISTOEl incidente que nos cuenta san Marcos en el Evangelio de hoy

se basa en un doble asombro: primero, los vecinos y parientes de Jesús se asombran de verlo enseñar en la sinagoga con tanta sabiduría, y de ver su poder para hacer milagros. Y Jesús, a su vez, se extraña de la incredulidad de aquella gente, que no pone su fe en él, no porque hallen alguna falta en su enseñanza o en su ministerio, sino porque conocen sus orígenes y su familia. Aquí, como en muchos otros incidentes de su Evangelio, Marcos nos deja ver un aspecto bastante íntimo de la parte humana de la doble naturaleza de Jesús. Para reforzar lo que quiere que veamos, Marcos nos cuenta cómo Jesús vuelve a su pueblo, y nos hace notar que está allí entre sus familiares. Y de la gente de quienes más esperaba es que menos recibe. En la época en que estaba escribiendo su Evangelio, san Marcos trataba de enseñar una lección muy importante para la casa de Israel, el Dios de la Alianza esperaba encontrar la fe más intensa en la casa de Israel, pero muchas veces allí fue donde menos la encontró. Y es bueno que reflexionemos sobre esto, nosotros que hoy día somos el Pueblo de Dios. Para que la Sabiduría de Cristo continúe en este mundo, y para que nuestras vidas sean signos de su poder, Jesús espera hallar, y tiene que hallar, una gran fe en nosotros. ¿La hallará? ¿O quedará, una vez más, pasmado de nuestra poca fe?
