JULY 1, 2012 THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

JESUS EXAMPLE OF HELPING OTHERS In todays second reading Paul offers a wonderful argument to his converts at Corinth for seeking to help those in need. He is dealing with a practical problem, arranging a collection for the poor of the church of Jerusalem; but as he often does, he develops an important teaching about Jesus to make his point. After asking that they show their faith by generous gifts, he reminds them of the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord assumed our human nature, certainly becoming poor for one who is God. The ultimate gracious act of this poverty was going to the cross with all its terrible sufferings. By this act of poverty we definitely become rich. Now our sins can be forgiven; we can share in the very life of God through the sacraments; we can attain eternal salvation!

Christ the King Pastoral Parish Council

For the past year I have had the honor or chairing the Christ the King Pastoral Parish Council. I have enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about my faith, what is happening at Christ the King parish, and working with wonderful parish leaders. The first thing I had to learn was, what is a Pastoral Parish Council? First of all, I learned that this council is not a decision making body nor a clique of parishioners who runs the parish. Rather, the Pastoral Parish Council at Christ the King is an advisory body that works with the staff and parish leaders to coordinate the efforts of the parish and encourage the participation of the parishioners in parish events. According to the parish handbook, the purpose of the Pastoral Parish Council is as follows: The purpose of this Council shall be to foster pastoral activity in Christ the King Parish according to the norms of Church law, the directives of the Bishop of Joliet, and the needs of the parishioners of Christ the King Church. The Council advises and makes recommendations to the Pastor. In this regard, the Pastoral Council provides a forum for addressing three aspects of parish life: Communication and coordination among the various parish groups and activities; Consultation between the pastoral staff and the various parish organizations; and Long-term strategic planning and policy direction for the parish as a whole. The Pastoral Parish Council is currently made up of 8 individuals. For the coming year we will meet on the 1st Tuesday of every other month beginning in August at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Life Center. We welcome anyone who is interested in serving on the Council to contact me or Deacon Frank or Father Peter, or simply come to a Council meeting and see firsthand what we do. In order to fulfill the threefold mission of the Parish Council, the Parish functions in three overlapping and synchronized areas: Ministry: Individual parish groups and other related organizations engage in pastoral activity for their members and the whole parish, in accord with the nature of their ministry or service; Commissions: The commissions coordinate pastoral activity in their areas of ministry. A special at-large commission or core teams may be developed that will service multifaceted tasks as the needs are defined by the Council on an annual basis; Council: The Pastoral Council fosters pastoral activity in the parish as a whole, with an emphasis on long-term goals and strategic planning, rather than the day-to-day operation of the parish and its ministries. For the next four weeks, there will be articles in the bulletin to describe each of the 4 Commissions at Christ the King and how the Ministries and Organizations of the parish fit into the leadership structure. It is the hope of the Pastoral Parish Council, the staff and the Commissions, that this awareness of our parish activities will encourage more volunteers and greater participation in the parish life at Christ the King. During the month of August we will begin recruiting volunteers to lead and assist the parish commissions. If you have any questions or would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me or any one of the current members of the Council: June Penas, Matt Novak, Joe Iapichino, Michele Schmitt, Jan Benshoof, Deacon Frank Lillig and Father Peter. I thank each of these Council members for their time and willingness to serve the Pastoral Parish Council.

True Freedom: On Protecting Human Dignity and Religious Liberty eBook released June 19.
NEW YORK CITY--Society faces a choice between true human dignity and a false concept of freedom culminating in the culture of death, New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan explains in his new eBook. This inhumane culture springs from deeply rooted social, philosophical and ethical tendencies that, unfortunately, often find their expression in our laws and in our attitudes toward others, the cardinal writes in True Freedom: On Protecting Human Dignity and Religious Liberty, released June 19. Published by Random House Digital, True Freedom is available for 99 cents. To this culture of death, he writes, the Church boldly and joyfully promotes the culture of life. In a work of just over 5,000 words, Cardinal Dolan develops Blessed John Paul II's understanding of the natural law, whose God-given principles are known through reason and confirmed by faith. They are the source of the Church's teaching on subjects such as human life and religious freedom. Cardinal Dolan's eBook aims to propose these principles anew to a culture suffering what the late Pope called an eclipse of the sense of God and of man. In only the past few years, the New York archbishop states, the U.S. has experienced rampant disregard for religious faith and human dignity, as shown in the approval of embryonic research, the torture of prisoners, disregard for the definition of marriage and the federal contraception mandate. We can see that there is a loss here of a sense of truth and objective moral norms, rules of conduct that apply always to everyone, everywhere, the cardinal observes. In place of the natural law, society has begun to substitute pragmatism, utilitarianism and consumerism, all of which have no higher goal than the satisfaction of individuals' personal preferences. These ideologies, Cardinal Dolan explains, have tragic consequences, especially when applied to issues of human life and moral conscience. In his own Archdiocese of New York, 40% of all pregnancies end in abortion. And any effort to curtail this unfettered access to abortion, the cardinal notes, is turned back by a culture that places a greater value on 'what I want,' 'when I want,' 'because I want' than it does on life itself. Moral conscience, meanwhile, is also threatened by a governing philosophy that makes no distinction between deeply held principles and passing desires. Cardinal Dolan cites Pope Benedict XVI's famous 2005 warning against a dictatorship of relativism whose ultimate goal consists solely of ones own ego and desires. He also highlights an address delivered by the Pope to German lawmakers in 2011. In that speech, the Pope spoke of a dramatic shift away from laws rooted in moral principles. In their place stands a positivist conception of nature that treats moral beliefs as nothing more than subjective, private preferences. Citing the Pope's words to the German parliament, the New York archbishop notes that the separation of law from morality fails to recognize the full breadth of human nature, and in fact both 'diminishes man' and 'threatens his humanity.' The real issue in all of these controversies, Cardinal Dolan suggests, is the competition between two visions of freedom: one rooted in human dignity and the natural law, the other arising from efforts to treat morality as subjective and religion as irrelevant. Quoting Pope Leo XIII, the cardinal teaches that authentic freedom is that freedom which most truly safeguards the dignity of the human person. It is stronger than any violence or injustice. Such is the freedom which has always been desired by the Church and which she holds most dear. The eBook contains a set of questions addressed to the country at large, as a cultural and political examination of conscience. Is genuine freedom, Cardinal Dolan asks, the license to do what we ought or the ability to do whatever we want? Is law tethered to objective truth, or is it ruled by a 'dictatorship of relativism'? Should laws be tailored to suit changing wants, demands or recently discovered 'rights'? the cardinal asks. Or should wants, demands and novel rights be tempered by law to uphold the sacredness of life, the common good and the objective moral law? As the country face these questions, the issue of religious liberty becomes especially urgent. Churches and people of faith -- not exclusively Catholics and their bishops, although I would hope that we play a leading role understand the inherent dignity of the human person and serve as a safeguard against attacks on that dignity, the cardinal points out. If we allow the human person to become a thing, and a human life to become a commodity that can be valued more or less depending on circumstance, political ideology or current whims, he warns, then we have embarked on a perilous path.
