GOOD NEWSlsaiah 58:7<o / r Corinthians z:r-5 / Matthew 5:r.3-r5

When my daughter got her first job after college, I handed her a copy oflsaiah 57 so she would always remember she was blessed to have work and

that she had a responsibility to care for those who were not as fortunate as

she. Without a word, she took the piece of paper, folded it, and put it in herwallet.

A few years later, she hasnt forgotten. When she was looking for a

position as a lawyer, she sought a firm that would take clients regardless oftheir ability to pay and that counted hours of volunteer legal (pro bono)counsel in calculating her work hours. I was so proud. lt reminded me thathonoring our solidarity with the poor is a lifelong discipline.

We've been taught that calling attention to ourselves is a little suspect.

Our parents and good friends can call attention to our achievements, but wecan't. And yet, to-day's readings include the part of Jesus' Sermon on theMount that calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

This isn't the kind of thing we're sup-posed to hide. But Jesus doesnt meanwe should brag or be prideful. Rather, we're to do what lsaiah tells us andhonor God by caring for the least among us. We're to follow Paul's exampleand strive only to "know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ,and him crucified."

The example of our lives should be such that those who see us will know God

is working through his people. Our love and service to others is not for ourglory, but for God's.

How doyou let God's glory shine through?M ary Katha ri ne Dee ley su ndayb u lleti n @ li g uo ri. o rg

de ar PAD Rf,

It[y motlrcr is diuorced and remarrfud to a tnn-Catlnlit. Her frstmarriage was neuer annulled- She says ttut f sLrc can't take

Cammunion, tfure's w dfferenee betutem watching Mass on Wand going ta Mass in a church. I think tlwre is a dffirence and that

slu rceds to be going tn Mass in a church with otlur Catlwlics.

Wltat do you think?

It's a good sign that she's watching Mass on televisioninstead of skipping Mass altogether, but you're right.

Television Masses are a viable option for Catholics whoare physically unable to attend Mass, but if your mother is

physically able, it's a different matter. There's nothing like"being there" when it comes to worship, and by attendingthe liturgy with other Catholics every week and on holydays, she'll fulfill her obligation by virtue of baptism in"frlly conscious and active participation" (Constitution onthe Sacred Liturgy fS atrosanchtm Cowiliuml,l4).

Keep encouraging your mom to attend weekly Mass inperson, and also encourage her to contact her priest aboutstarting annulment proceedings. If the annulment is

granted and her current marriage is conualidated, she'll be

able to receive the Eucharist.Receiving Communion may be the privileged

encounter with God, but Mass is primarily for worshipingand giving thanks to God. By returning to Mass with otherCatholics now and eventually taking Communion, yourmom's faith life will clearly be enriched.

Fr. Bob Lindsey, CSsR sundaybulletin@liguori.org

$ur [.ady of L*ux'desThe sound of Mary's words at Lourdes had "gone forth to theends of the earth." They re-echoed the words of the vicar of herDivine Son. For she spoke these words l"l om the lmmoculateConception.') only four years after Pius lX had declared infalliblythe dogma of the lmmaculate Conception."Our speech overflows with joy, ond Our tongue with exultotion.

We give, ond We shall continue to give, the humblest ond deepestthanks to Jesus Christ Our Lord, because through His singulor favor He

hos gronted Us, unworthy though We be, to decree, ond offer this honorond glory ond proise to His Most Holy Mother. All foir ond immoculote,she has crushed the poisonous head of the most cruel serpent andbrought salvation to the warld. She rs the proise of the Prophets ondApostles, the hanar af the Mortyrc, the crown ond joy of all the Soints.

She is the sofest refuge ond the most trustworthy helper of oll who orein donger. "
