Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The prophet Zechariah promises to send a spirit of grace upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem as they mourn the death of the Messiah. Echoing Isaiah, Zechariah calls him the Suffering Servant, “whom they have pierced.” The prophet pro- claims that this spirit from God will evoke a sense of responsibility and repentance among the people. On that day the Lord will open a fountain to purify them from sin. St. Paul tells the Galatians that in baptism they have been clothed in Christ, hence there is no longer any distinction among them. They are now descendants of Abraham, heirs to God’s promise. Jesus first asks the disciples who do the crowds think he is. They answer, John the Baptist, Elijah or one of the ancient prophets. Jesus continues, “but who do you say that I am?” Peter replies, “The Christ of God.” Jesus re- bukes them, saying that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected by the leaders of the faith, killed and, finally, be raised. He then tells them that if they wish to come after him, they must deny themselves, take up his cross and follow him.

Zechariah 12:10-11, 13:1 Galatians 3:26-29 Luke 9:18-24

SUMMER VACATION? THE CHURCH IS ALWAYS OPEN

Summer has finally arrived, a time of endless days of sunshine and freedom from responsibilities, at least for the chil- dren. For many it is a time of barbeques and vacations, baseball and taking it easy. Summer is a great gift that should not be wasted, especially, perhaps, by those of us who work full time. I hope everyone takes advantage of the season to slow down and enjoy your relationships and recreational activities.

But the reality of summer also includes the realities of ordinary responsibilities. While mass attendance is usually much lighter, the parish costs are the same. Salaries for the staff (and most of the school teachers), maintenance and utilities are year-round expenses. Please remember to use your envelopes and to make your weekly contribution to the parish even when you are out of town or not at church. You can also sign up for Give Central to make automatic contributions. This would help us to maintain a level of giving that will cover our normal operating expenses. Thank you for your generosity. 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 From the Pastor’s Desk

The scriptures today call us to remember the love of God given to us in the Passion and Cross of Jesus, and to take up that cross the way Jesus did: in love and trust. In baptism we die with Christ and rise with him to new life. This dying is not simply dying to sin. It is dying to the nature of sin. We are given the grace to imitate Christ who turned his will and his life over to God entirely. This dying to self is dying to selfishness, self-centeredness and self-absorption. Bap- tism calls us to see the world and those around us as God sees, and to act as God himself would do.

It’s a message we don’t like to hear. Neither did the ancients. In the first reading Zechariah reminds the people that they are the ones who will kill the Messiah. They will look upon the one they have pierced. But the Lord will give them the grace to realize what they have done and to repent. They will be able to mourn him, to grieve deeply. To have the gift of tears is a blessing that we often don’t understand. But as a result of their grief, the prophet says that the Lord will open for them a fountain to purify them from sin.

We understand this fountain to be the blood of Christ. There is a truly awful hymn that tells us that salvation comes from “the blood of Jesus, spurting like a fountain from his sacred arm.” I don’t expect to ever use this hymn in the litur- gy, but it graphically gives us the truth of today’s gospel. Jesus tells the disciples that he must suffer and die before he can rise. Our salvation comes through the suffering and death of Christ. The Christ is rejected by his own people as the culmination of that which alienates us from God and one another (sin).

It is Jesus’ unconditional acceptance of this cross in unconditional love and forgiveness that overcomes sin and death. He rebukes the disciples because they see him as a conquering Messiah who will restore the military, political and eco- nomic power of the Davidic kingdom. No, he says he is the Suffering Servant of Isaiah and Zechariah who does not cry out or retaliate. Rather he cries for justice for the oppressed and seeks God’s mercy for those who do him injustice.

And he tells the disciples if they want to come after him they, too, must take up their cross daily and follow him. In oth- er words, if they want to rise with him they must suffer as he did. That’s why we don’t want to hear the message. But if we want what Jesus promises then we must do as he did.

St. Paul tells us that we have all that dignity and grace in baptism. We are heirs to the promise made to Abraham, that if we have faith in God’s promise we will be heirs to God’s kingdom. The evidence of that faith is exhibited when we live out our baptismal grace by taking up the cross each day, living our ordinary lives with the dignity, love and compassion of Jesus.

There will be a second collection next weekend for the charitable works of the Holy Father (“Peter’s Pence”).

The parish calendar meeting was held last Tuesday for the upcoming year. Thank you to all the organization and min- istry leaders who worked together to help coordinate our efforts for the use of the parish facilities for the upcoming fis- cal year. It takes a lot of time and planning to make it possible. The calendar may look mundane but it represents liter- ally thousands of hours by hundreds of volunteers that make our parish such a vibrant community. Thank you to all the volunteers and staff who go above and beyond the call of duty for the love of our parish.

In the parish, summer is the time of “spring cleaning”. It is a time for all the deferred maintenance projects and regular deep cleaning of the church, school and parish hall, painting and ongoing repairs. It is a time to catch up on all the or- ganizing of various projects left uncompleted during the busyness of the academic and liturgical seasons. We review the year just completed, evaluate ourselves, our liturgies, our ministries and our programs. We prepare the annual financial report and use the information to guide our future decisions and actions. We prepare the calendar for the upcoming year and plan programs, events and upcoming projects. The Parish Inspiration (Transformation) committees will be looking at our action plans as we prepare to implement our parish goals. The days are full and the summer will go by more quickly than we ever expect. Not everything will get done. But then, it never really does. And that’s okay. The rhythm is slower without a sense of overwhelming urgency. Most importantly, summer is a time to reflect, recharge and recon- nect with ourselves and those we love.

Have a great week. Sincerely, Fr. Neil

Pope at Mass:

The grace not to speak ill of others

(Vatican Radio) May the Lord grant us the grace to watch our tongues and be careful of what we say of oth- ers, because through our weakness and sin, we often find it easier to insult and denigrate than say or do good. This was the lesson at the heart of Pope Francis’ homily Thursday morning at Mass, June 13, 2013.

Pope Francis continued: “There is no need to go to a psychologist to know that when we denigrates another person it is because we are unable to grow up and need to belittle others, to feel more important." This, he said, is "an ugly mechanism." Jesus, with all the simplicity says: "Do not speak ill of one another. Do not denigrate one another. Do not belittle one another." The Pope not- ed, "in the end we are all travelling on the same road, we are all travelling on that road that will take us to the very end." Therefore "if we do not choose a fraternal path, it will end badly, for the person who insults and the insult- ed". The Pope noted that "if we are not able to keep our tongues in check, we lose.” “Natural aggression, that of Cain toward Abel, repeats itself throughout history." Pope Francis observed that it is not that we are bad, ra- ther "we are weak and sinners." That's why it is "much easier" to "resolve a situation with an insult, with slan- der, defamation instead of resolving it with good means."

However, God hears the endless chatter of the thoughts in your mind.

He hears you judging and condemning those around you.

COME FLY WITH ME AND TOUR EASTERN EUROPEAN CAPITALS

Dear Friends, I invite you on an exciting and enriching adventure through Eastern Europe and its Classical Cities. Next year from May 8-19, 2014, we will embark on a 12-day tour and be exploring the lands of baroque palaces, Gothic churches, sce- nic vistas, pristine forests, majestic mountains and bustling cities - beautiful countries brimming with century upon cen- tury of fascinating history. It is the “Old World” at its best.

Highlighting our experience will be celebrating Mass in Czestochowa, Poland’s spiritual capital; the Convent of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy where St. Faustina is buried; and at the Infant of Prague Church in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

An information meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, June 26 beginning at 7 p.m. at the St. Monica Beyenka Center, located at 5105 N. Mont Clare (near Foster and Harlem). Please call the rectory and let us know that you are coming, 773 763-1651. Would you like a complimentary brochure? Stop by St. Monica Rectory, 5136 N. Nottingham.

TENDING THE GARDEN: A BIBLICAL TRADITION For many people, gardening is a spiritual exercise. For them, planting seeds and seedlings, tending and nurturing them, pruning and watering them, and waiting for them to produce flowers or fruit, is an opportunity to practice patience, hu- mility and hope, along with a lot of prayer. Digging our fingers into rich soil is, in a small way, a means of cooperating with God's act of creation.

It should come as no surprise then that gardening and plants are deeply rooted in the stories of the Bible. Starting with the stories of creation in the Book of Genesis, where God is seen creating every plant and animal, and where the loca- tion of human existence was the Garden of Eden, where our first parents are given access to the food needed for their survival, through the Book of Revelation and its mention of the tree of life, an observant reader will find references to plants and gardening plentiful.

We want to thank all our volunteers for the dedicated work they do in beautifying the grounds here at St. Robert’s. Our prayers go to you as well as all who are working so diligently in get- ting the St. Robert Bellarmine Community Spirit Garden up and running.

May God bless you all and thank you!
