BE LIKE THE SAMARITAN

The parable in today’s Gospel is one of the

best known of all the teachings of Jesus.
The term “Good Samaritan” has been used
to name various charitable organizations
and is even the official name of one state’s
emergency roadside assistance program
that helps stranded motorists. With the
prevalence of the terminology used to de-
scribe various activities in our day, we might
be led to forget the message of this Gospel
passage. This man, this Samaritan, was the
only one who offered the beaten man help.
Samaritans, remember, were considered the
lowest of the low in the time of Christ. A
good Jewish person would not even have
gone near a Samaritan for fear of being ren-
dered impure. The Samaritan was motivated
solely by the sense that the poor man
needed help. He didn’t care about religious
or social status. And Jesus’ message is that
we are to do the same.

Message from the Pastor:

As I sit and watch out my office window, I see the many cars in the lot and all the faithful parishioners who come to ado-
ration of the Blessed Sacrament weekly for one hour or others who drop by for a moment of prayer. I am very blessed
as your pastor entering into my ninth year of service to have such dedicated people of prayer. Thank you for the sacri-
fices you make to come and be here on time. Many of you come home from a hard day at work or a long day at home
and still take the time for the Lord.

Thank you for enriching our 50th year as a parish with your presence at Adoration. Thank you to the Eucharistic Adora-
tion team who keep this prayer alive and well for us. Have you considered being part of our prayer team? Now is the
time to commit by the end of the Jubilee year, I hope to have 700 households committed to one weekly hour of
prayer. Just try—you will love it and the Lord will love you back! Are you wondering what gift to give back to the parish
on this 50th Anniversary—the gift of prayer!

A response to: Wanted: Helpers with Green Thumbs

Eucharist Is Not Understood, Laments Pope
Unfortunately, the Pope is right. As someone who has
had experience working in a Catholic school, particularly
with second graders who were prepping to receive the
sacrament of Communion, I have found that there is a
lack of passion and knowledge on the beauty and mystery
of the Blessed Sacrament.
Take a moment and stop by to see the Parish’s 50th An-
niversary Garden that was planted by members of the
Council of Catholic Women. It is located on the west side
of the Parish Life Center. The shrubs and all of the flow-
ers seem to have taken root. A sprinkler system will keep
the plot watered. Mulch will be put down to keep the
weeds away. The only thing that is needed to do now is
to tend the garden through the rest of the season.

Men, Do you like to sing?

I knew I wanted to sing. I had no training and a very narrow range. The last bit of experience I had singing was in the 8th
grade. Quite a number of years ago. So it was a big step for me to ask Bill Runge if he was looking for new voices. He
said ‘sure!’. With Bill’s patience and guidance I’ve gained confidence, added a couple of notes to my range, and I’m truly
enjoying the experience as part of the Music Ministry here at Christ The King.

I begin my fifth season with the Music Ensemble this fall and looking forward to our new King’s Choir rehearsals. Men
who like to sing...we need you. Especially basses. It’s a very gratifying experience to raise your voice with the soprano,
alto, and tenor sections. And when we get it right, the hair on the back your neck stand up. Even with no experience in a
choir, glee club, or small ensemble, we would warmly welcome you. Please see Bill. Soon.

Year of the Eucharist + Diocese of Joliet

Without a Doubt Never Take the Eucharist for Granted

BY BISHOP THOMAS J. TOBIN

I suppose it’s typical for human beings to sometimes take our finest gifts for granted – our health, our faith, our family
and our friends, for example. And even as Catholics we have the tendency to take for granted one of God’s most pre-
cious gifts – the Holy Eucharist, and all that it means for us. Although we typically pay lip service to the importance of the
Eucharist, I wonder if we really appreciate its significance in our lives. As the heart and soul of our Catholic Faith, the
Eucharist a gift and mystery that includes several important dimensions. The Eucharist is a sacrifice – the sacrifice of
Jesus on the Cross, made present again in a sacramental way. The Eucharist is a sacrament – the abiding presence of
Christ among His people under the external forms of bread and wine. The Eucharist is a meal – established by Jesus at
the Last Supper, and in which the action of eating and drinking the Body and Blood of Christ is essential to its meaning.
And the Eucharist is a celebration – an affirmation of our faith in sign and symbol.

Each dimension of the Eucharist tells us something important about its meaning and all of them are included whenever
we follow the Lord’s command: “Do this in memory of me.” From the very beginning, even in the Apostolic era, the
Church has recognized that reception of the Holy Eucharist demands a certain spiritual disposition. Here it’s helpful to
recall that no one has an absolute right to receive the Eucharist, or any other sacrament for that matter. And while we
routinely profess that “I am not worthy to receive you,” in recent years the requirements for receiving Holy Communion
have become a hot topic, moving beyond the walls of internal Church discipline and crossing over into the political do-
main, even becoming the fodder of radio talk show debates.

Pope John Paul explained the criteria for receiving Holy Communion in these words: “The celebration of the Eucharist
cannot be the starting-point for communion; it presupposes that communion already exists.” (Ecclesia de Eucharistia,
#35) The Pope goes on to explain that this necessary unity with the Church has both an invisible dimension (the spiritual
disposition) and a visible dimension (the structural disposition.) In other, more traditional words, to properly receive Holy
Communion, a communicant must be in the state of grace and be a member of the Catholic Church. These requirements
apply not only to Catholic politicians – although they have particular obligations because of their role as public officials –
but equally to all members of the Church.

There are other important dimensions of the Eucharist we should consider as well. And one is the fact that while the
Eucharist effects union with Christ, “body and blood, soul and divinity,” it also has more horizontal, societal implications.
Pope Benedict said this: “The Eucharist brings about a fundamental transformation. God no longer simply stands before
us as totally other. He enters into us and then seeks to spread outward to others until He fills the world, so that His love
can truly become the dominant measure of the world.” (World Youth Day, Cologne, 2005)

The Eucharist, then, is all about “transformation” the Pope says. It begins with the transformation of the elements of
bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. (Note this is a very special kind of transformation that Catholics call
“transubstantiation,” meaning the very substance of the bread and wine is changed into the very substance of the Body
and Blood of Christ.) This transformation continues as the person receiving Holy Communion grows spiritually and is
transformed into the image and likeness of Christ in their daily lives. And that transformation reaches its conclusion as
the faithful enter into the world and, by living the vision and values of Christ, transform it, the secular world, into the King-
dom of God.

Blessed Mother of Teresa of Calcutta put it this way: “If we truly understand the Eucharist; if we make the Eucharist the
central focus of our lives; if we feed our lives with the Eucharist, we will not find it difficult to discover Christ, to love Him,
and to serve Him in the poor.” And finally, in reflecting upon the value of the Eucharist, we should also recall the impor-
tance of Eucharistic adoration, a wonderful devotion in the history and spiritual tradition of the Church. Pope John Paul
wrote that “it is pleasant to spend time with Him, to lie close to His breast like the beloved disciple, and to feel the infinite
love present in His heart.” He also points to the example of many saints, specifically St. Alphonsus Liguori who wrote,
“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments, the one dearest to
God and the one most helpful to us.” (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, #25)

So, dear reader, as we consider the Holy Eucharist, let’s try to resist our normal tendency to take our gifts for granted.
The Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ; it is the Bread of Life; it is spiritual food for our journey on earth; and it
contains all the power we need to transform the world into the Kingdom of God.

What did we remember on Independence Day 2010?

Lets take these thoughts with us as we progress through the month of July. A time in which we reflect what God has
done for us. Fr. Peter

1) This is a day to thank God for the political and religious freedom we enjoy and to pray for God’s special blessings on
the rulers and the people of our country.

2) It is a day to remember with gratitude the founding fathers of our democratic republic, especially, Thomas Jefferson,
the author of the Declaration of Independence, and James Madison, the architect of the Constitution who believed that
all power, including political power, came from God and was given to the people who entrusted this power to their
elected leaders.

3) It is a to remember and pray for all our brave soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice of their lives to keep this coun-
try a safe and a free country and who are now engaged in the fight against terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan.

4) It is day to remember the basic principle underlined in the constitution that that “all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happi-
ness.”

5) It is day to remind ourselves that we have a duty to protect these God-given rights by voting into power leaders who
believe in God and who have character, integrity, experience and belief in inalienable human rights.

6) It is day to fight for the fundamental right to life denied to pre-born children to grow and develop in their mothers’
wombs and to the sick and the elderly to die gracefully without fearing euthanasia.

7) It is day to pray for and work for liberation for all those who are still slaves in our free country – slaves to evil habits
and addictions to nicotine, alcohol, drugs, pornography, promiscuity and sexual aberrations.

8) It is a day to take a pledge to become recommitted to doing something about our own growth in Christ, and as Ameri-
cans who contribute something to our religion, Church and country, and to the lives of others.

9) It is a day to raise our voice of protest against liberal, agnostic and atheistic political leaders, media bosses and activ-
ist, liberal judges who deny religious and moral education to our young citizens.

10) It is a day to offer our country and all its citizens on the altar of God asking His special providential care, protection
and blessings.

Fr. Peter shares a note from our new Superintendant of Catholic Schools:
The Peace of Christ be with you!

On this first day of my service as Superintendent of Catholic Schools, I want you to know how privileged I feel to join you
in the vital ministry of Catholic education in the Diocese of Joliet. I am excited to be a part of the long and successful
tradition in the diocese of educating and forming young people in the Catholic faith and preparing them to contribute to
our Church and our world. Like all of you, my life has been deeply changed by my experience of Catholic education both
as a student and as an educator. At the heart of that change for me has been the message of the gospel. Whether it
was through contact with teachers and students in the classroom, at masses or in community service, I heard loud and
clear Jesus’ gospel command to love God and others. Inspired by that Gospel message, I share with you a commitment
to ensuring the continued excellence and availability of Catholic schools of the Diocese of Joliet. I am eager to hear your
input and concerns as we move forward together in this great ministry of Catholic education. I very much look forward to
meeting you in the coming days and months.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. John Belmonte, S.J., Ph.D.

Pope Encourages Leadership of Iraqi Government Says Sufferings

Can Unite Christians and Muslims
VATICAN CITY, JULY 2, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI is encouraging the swift formation of a democratic Iraqi govern-
ment as elected by the people, and its leadership in giving an example of interreligious tolerance. The Pope stated this
today when he received in audience the new Iraqi ambassador to the Holy See, Habbeb Mohammed Hadi Ali Al-Sadr. In
the March 7 elections, he affirmed, "the people of Iraq gave a clear sign to the world that they wish to see an end to vio-
lence and that they have chosen the path of democracy, through which they aspire to live in harmony with one another
within a just, pluralist and inclusive society."

"It is to be hoped that the formation of a new government will now proceed swiftly so that the will of the people for a more
stable and unified Iraq may be accomplished," the Pontiff stated. He continued: "Those who have been elected to politi-
cal office will need to show great courage and determination themselves, in order to fulfill the high expectations that have
been placed in them. "You may be assured that the Holy See, which has always valued its excellent diplomatic relations
with your country, will continue to provide whatever assistance it can, so that Iraq may assume its rightful place as a
leading nation in the region with much to contribute to the international community."

The Holy Father expressed the "earnest hope" that Iraq "will emerge from the difficult experiences of the past decade as
a model of tolerance and cooperation among Muslims, Christians and others in the service of those most in need." Bene-
dict XVI added, "It is greatly to be hoped that Iraqi society in the future will be marked by peaceful coexistence, as is in
keeping with the aspirations of those who are rooted in the faith of Abraham." The Pope acknowledged that "recent
years have seen many tragic acts of violence committed against innocent members of the population, both Muslim and
Christian, acts which as you have pointed out are contrary to the teachings of Islam as well as those of Christianity." He
added, "This shared suffering can provide a deep bond, strengthening the determination of Muslims and Christians alike
to work for peace and reconciliation."

The Holy Father acknowledged the ambassador's address in which he spoke about the Iraqi government's commitment
to respect human rights. He said, "Among the rights that must be fully respected if the common good is to be effectively
promoted, the rights to freedom of religion and freedom of worship are paramount, since it is they that enable citizens to
live in conformity with their transcendent dignity as persons made in the image of their divine Creator." Benedict XVI af-
firmed, "I therefore hope and pray that these rights will not only be enshrined in legislation, but will come to permeate the
very fabric of society -- all Iraqis have a part to play in building a just, moral and peaceable environment."

Embolden my heart to open doors;
Open my eyes to see life beyond rejections.

Let me realize other ways to bring about Your kingdom on earth.
Let me grow as a person that I may be worthy
For Your greater glory. In the name of the Father.
Amen.

How does one define handicap? According to the Free Online Dictionary’s definition to be handicap is quite simply to have
“something that hampers or hinders.” However, this standard does not come close to capturing the broad spectrum of what
it means to be handicap.

In order to be considered a “disabled person” in Illinois and qualify for a handicap parking permit, one must fall into one of
the five predetermined categories of disabilities, as stated by the Illinois Legal Aid. First, is a physical disability including
physical impairment of a permanent nature which significantly affects normal physical ability. Next is a developmental dis-
ability. A developmental disability is a disability that begins before the age of 18 including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism,
and other related disorders. The third category is a visual disability which is the absence of vision or vision that is so poor
that it inhibits tasks in which eyesight is necessary. Another disability includes a hearing deficiency that results in complete
loss or hearing impairment that even with hearing aid is still reduced. The last category is a mental disability such as emo-
tional or psychological impairment. Although these descriptions give a less vague idea of the definition of what it means to
be handicap in a sense it makes the topic of handicap parking more difficult.

Public parking facilities are required to have a certain number of handicap parking spots in relation to their number of total
spots. The village of Lombard has issued Christ the King the appropriate number of spots. Although there is the correct
amount of spots there has been a concern with priority. As a faith community, it is our calling to help serve one another. For
this reason we ask courtesy for those who are in a wheelchair or walker. Please allow the more severely handicapped and
disabled to use the handicap space. If you have had health issues in the past and were issued a handicap parking pass but are
now able to walk the further distance please be considerate of individuals with oxygen tanks and walkers. Also when the
new project was completed, we have a lower level circle drive for pick up and drop off, you can temporarily put on blinkers
and bring your wheeled chaired or walkered family member into church, then return to your car and park. If needed, there is
a wheelchair that can be borrowed in the lower level and an usher can bring your loved one to the seat and you can meet
them after parking car. There is also an elevator for use.

Please help strengthen the hospitality of our faith community by parking in a spot other than handicap if you are capable of
walking. Plus, it is summer and a little longer walk means being able to experience God’s creations a little longer.
