TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Frequent fliers today have many ways to accrue air
miles, so one doesn’t always have to endure long hours
in cramped seats to earn free hours in cramped seats. In
St. Paul’s day, there were no such perks, nor would
there have been any legal system for him to protest the
shipwrecks he endured. He had other rewards in mind.
The churches that he established in the catalogue of
cities from today’s first reading must have been very
different from one another. Language, culture, customs,
religious history, obstacles to community, social
challenges, the places where they met, their clothing,
their bread and wine, all distinct, particular to the area.
There were social customs as well: in a Christian
household, the only place where a slave would be able
to stand legally as an equal with the master would be at
the table of the Lord, because at that table a new world
of reconciliation was imaged. While Paul revered local
customs, he was relentless about challenging the ways
that people lived their Christian lives and how their
worship reflected them. It is much the same today, as a
global Catholic Church seeks to respect local customs
and culture, allowing for differences in many things, yet
always giving expression to the underlying presence of
Christ, who binds us all together into his body. ~James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
REPORTING SEXUAL ABUSE Anyone with reason to believe that a child has been abused or is being abused should report their suspicions to civil authorities. Contact: Illinois Department of Children and Family Services: 1-800-25ABUSE (1-800-252-2873) or local police. The Diocese of Joliet Victim Assistance Coordinator is available to help victims/survivors of child sexual abuse by a cleric, employee or volunteer of the Catholic Church. The Victim Assistance Coordinator will report to Bishop Conlon and coordinate efforts of pastoral support and outreach to assist in the healing process. The Victim Assistance Coordinator can also assist in making a report to civil authorities. Contact the Diocese of Joliet Victim Assistance Coordinator at 1-815-263-6467.
VOCATION PRAYER God our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that You inspire young people whom You call to priesthood and consecrated life to courageously follow Your will. Send workers into Your great harvest so that the Gos-pel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suf-fering are comforted, and Your people are strengthened by the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. ~Prayer for Vocations by Pope Francis for an increase of vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life, especially in the Diocese of Joliet, we pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.
If you would like to request a Mass Intention,

MISSIONARIES OF MERCY Paul’s back! After last week’s
“violent abuse,” opponents
organized a lynch mob that beat
Paul nearly to death. But call Paul
the “energizing evangelist,”
transforming deadly cruelty into life-giving zeal. Paul’s
past courage should inspire our commitment;
Revelation’s future “new heaven, new earth” should
inspire our optimism. But Revelation’s present
assurance, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human
race,” should challenge us to become “missionaries of
mercy.” Because Pope Francis declared that the
Church’s credibility is completely dependent on our
showing unconditional mercy. Mercy, said Francis,
makes the Church, the world, and everyone young
again, reawakened to life’s noblest virtues. Fittingly, in
today’s Gospel Jesus reinforces that theme: “This is
how all will know you are my disciples, if you have
love for one another.”
IMPENETRABLE
The same fence that shuts others out shuts us in.
