CORPUS CHRISTI

“They all ate and were satisfied.” Luke 9:11-17

Prepare For Next Sunday’s Readings

INTRODUCTION

In next Sunday’s Gospel, (June 30), we are all called to follow Jesus is no surprise. This sacramentally-sealed call is operative for as long as we live. We also know that accepting it has implications we will only discover as we go. Today’s readings remind us that calls can be unexpected, demanding, even dangerous. But Paul assures us that freedom, love and the Spirit’s guidance are all part of it.

SCRIPTURE READINGS

1 Kings 19:16, 19-21: The prophet Elijah calls

Elisha to follow him

Galatians 5:1, 13-18: The Spirit sets us free to

live in love

Luke 9:51-62: Agreeing to follow Jesus is an all

encompassing commitment

ST. COLUMCILLE A PILGRIM’S PROGRESS…. There will be no daily mass at IC or St C Monday – Wednesday of this week as I will be on a three day vacation. Frs. Marty Smith, Seth Brown, and I will be keeping up our recent summer practice of visiting presidential library and museums. This year it is the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri as well as the National World War I Museum in Kansas City. This will also be our good neighbor Fr. Hyland Smith’s last full week at St. Charles Borromeo and the EIU St. Philip Neri Newman Catholic Center in Charleston. July 1 Fr. Hyland will be the new pastor of Holy Ghost in Jerseyville and St. Mary Church in Fieldon. Fr. Brayden Maher, who has most recently been parochial vicar at Jacksonville, Arenzville, Beardstown, and Virginia, Illinois will be the new pastor in Charleston. Please keep them both in your prayers as they begin their new assignments. Wednesday is the Effingham Deanery day of prayer with Eucharistic Exposition for life at St. Francis in Teutopolis. Every parish is asked to cover an hour. IC’s hour is from 5:00-6:00 PM. The closing mass is at 7:30 PM with the dean of our Effingham Deanery, Fr. Dean Probst, as principal celebrant and homilist. With the recent legislative removal of protections for women and children harmed by abortion in Illinois there has never been a greater need for our prayerful witness. I hope to see you all at St. Francis Wednesday night. For transportation call the parish office. Pax et Bonum, fr john

Most people believe that “just try harder” and exercising “more willpower” is the answer to overcoming porn addiction. This is the worst possible advice! You’ve got to learn how to “work with your brain” instead of “fighting against it.” Everything you need to break free is already built into the very structure of your brain-the same type of brain process that got you into this mess, can help you get out.
