from their loved ones and family.

For each of them, may the promise and the gift of the peace of Christ fill

their hearts and minds, and may almighty God always provide their every need.

You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church

and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

Saint Paul reminds us in today’s se-cond reading that the ultimate origin of everything is God. Since everything co-mes from God, we are God’s own. We can never put God in our debt. There is abso-lutely no negotiating with God. Every breath we take is a gift. Every good deed we perform is grace. Good stewards realize they are crea-ted and called to make the beauty, great-ness, compassion and justice of God and his gifts known throughout the world. The stewardship question for us is whether we are willing to embrace this call, ackno-wledge our dependence on God and give our lives over to him completely for this purpose.

(NCR) Officials from the Diocese of Jefferson City, Missouri, have en-countered criticism as they try to bal-ance Pope Francis' call to welcome those in "irregular" family situations with upholding traditional church teaching on gender, sexuality and marriage.

In early May, the diocese present-ed guidelines for working with LGBT students and "non-traditional fami-lies" in Catholic schools to diocesan priests and principals. Bishop John Gaydos approved the document, "A Pastoral Process of Accompaniment and Dialogue: Addressing Children and Youth in Response to Gender Concerns and Non-Traditional Fami-lies," which was developed by a com-mittee of eight priests, sisters and laypeople. The guidelines state that "wherever possible, enrollment is the

goal," yet make it clear that enroll-ment is only possible if the parents agree to sign and uphold a "Covenant of Trust" in which they pledge to "support the moral and social doctrine of the Catholic Church." The guidelines also include in-structions for talking to people in var-ious "scenarios," such as an unmar-ried heterosexual couple wishing to enroll their child, a same-sex couple estranged from the church, or a cur-rent student coming out as transgender. The new Jefferson City policy, which does not promise admission for non-traditional families or accommo-dations for LGBT students, may not be so different in practice from the policies of other dioceses. However, ambiguity in the document has led some to worry and others to hope that it will be more inclusive of LGBT Catholics. Among the worriers are several blogs and websites, which Superinten-dent of Catholic Schools Sr. Elizabeth Youngs, a member of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, says started posting a "hijacked" copy of the docu-ment, which was meant as internal guidance for pastors and principals only. A Church Militant article ac-cused Gaydos of "paving the way for

(Worry continued) the dilution of Catholic ethics," while an anonymous blog, "30 Pieces of Silver" is solely devoted to opposing the guidelines. "Youngs recognized that tensions were likely, but said non-traditional parents should tell children they re-spect the church and be prepared to respond when children ask why they are not following church teachings. "If it becomes evident that the family is being subversive at home," she said, "and the child starts acting out around that, we would invite the family to come in for a meeting and probably invite them out of our school." Youngs clarified that the phrase "enrollment is the goal" does not guar-antee that all students will be admitted or retained, and emphasized that the policy is not a recruiting tool. Instead, it is a response to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' en-couragement that all dioceses develop such guidelines. Both Youngs and Fr. Joseph Corel, the vicar general of the diocese, said they believe their guidelines are in line with what many other dioceses are producing for internal use. They were developed in consultation with the National Catholic Education Asso-ciation as well as lawyers, youth min-isters and superintendents throughout the country. Corel said the main purpose of the document was to provide "helpful conversation pointers and guides" and suggested that people focus on the process of "accompaniment and dia-logue" that precedes enrollment. However, Corel said, "It would almost be inconsistent to say you can-not enroll these children no matter what. If the purpose and nature of a Catholic school is to evangelize and reach out, then our stance when we visit with someone is 'How do we bring you in?'
