Breaking Open the Word July 4, 2021 Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Leconary: 101 Gospel Mk 6:1R6  Reflecon: The spiritual website Aleteia.org has a beauful story about two sisters who create their own TikTok videos. “In the video, the young women can be seen doing each other’s hair. They goof around, make faces and do all the moves you’d expect of youngsters these days. However, while the young ladies look fab, the insight into their relaonship is even more beauful. Kalista wants everybody to see how Worthy’s extra chromosome means she can ‘outshine in other areas.’” We so o en miss finding the image of God in the people closest to us.  Quesons: 1. How hard is it for you to find God in other people? 2. Who do you find it hard to see God in? 3. What prevents you from finding God in those around you? 4. What do you do when people reject you? 5. How can you promote the dignity of people?

Thomas Pastorius July 4, 2021 Spiritual Ponderings Faith & Film and the Winter Soldier

I usually direct my Spiritual Ponderings for the month of July to finding spiritual insights in movies. Since Covid, I have not been to a movie theatre and therefore I am going to reflect on The song lyrics from In Every Age some shows that I have streamed this past year. The first one I want to reflect on is The Falcon state, “In every age O God, you and the Winter Soldier. have been our refuge. In every age O God, you have been our hope.” This six-part show was produced by Marvel and reunites us, the audience, with some of the Sometimes we offer a great refuge characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). They are Sam Wilson who is also for our neighbors in need when we known as the Falcon and Barnes who is also known as The Winter Soldier. At the end pay housing, utility and other bills. of the movie Endgame, (Steve Rodgers), retires from being a Thanks to your generous donations superhero and passes his iconic onto Sam. He hopes Sam will become the new Capitan we are able to bring hope to these America. Sam does not believe that he is capable of living up to the legacy of Captain America neighbors. If you or someone you and decides to give the shield to the Smithsonian. At the same time a young teenage refugee know needs help with food or named Karli Morgenthau creates a terrorist group called The Flag Smashers. The Flag financial assistance, please call our Smashers dream of a world without governments and have decided to use violence to bring St. Vincent de Paul office phone at this about. In order to inspire the people of the United States and to combat the Flag 636-779-5616. All calls are Smashers the United States Government chooses an elite soldier, John Walker, to be the New confidential. Stay healthy and Captain America. enjoy your summer! First Spiritual Insight In the midst of the six-part series, Bucky introduces Sam to a man named Isaiah Bradley who was an African American soldier that fought for the United States during the Korean War. Isaiah and the other African American men in his crew, were experimented on by the government which was trying to reproduce the original super-soldier serum. Everyone in his crew died as a result, and Isaiah was imprisoned in order to keep it a secret. At the end of the series, Isaiah is able to receive a little bit of healing when he learns that Sam has had an exhibit in the Smithsonian created in Isaiah’s honor. We still have a lot of issues about race “O God our creator… through the that our country has to deal with, and I think this show teaches us three important lessons. power and working of your Holy The first is to acknowledge our past even if it is painful in the same way Jesus did not deny Spirit, you call us to live out our people sinfulness but continued to love them in spite of it. The second is that we see no racial faith in the midst of the world, tension between Bucky and Sam because of their common history. If we want to solve racial bringing the light and the saving tension, we must develop a common history. Jesus brought all sorts of people together who truth of the Gospel to every corner at the time hated each other. For example, Simon the Zealot would not have ever chosen to of society.” be in the same group with Matthew, a Roman tax collector. Nathaniel clearly has a prejudice against people from Nazareth and yet he is allowed to be a member of the group. We know - United States Conference of Catholic that at least one woman that followed Jesus had ties to Herod, but that did not stop her from Bishops “Prayer for Religious Liberty” being a follower. Their common experience of encountering the love of God through Jesus helped form them into one tightknit group. What are you doing to learn about people who are different from you? The last way in which Sam teaches us how to heal racial divide is when he talks about the need for people to have compassion and empathy. Jesus told us that we need to love our enemies.

Second Spiritual Insight The character of John Walker is a great illustration of how a person can be “too good.” John is an amazing soldier and has performed many heroic deeds. He feels a tremendous burden when he is chosen by the government to be the new Captain America. Two things become Stephen Ministry Want more obvious about John Walker. The first is that he gets his sense of self-worth from what others freedom and joy? Did you know that think of him. He has done a good job up until now of earning high praises from those around there is joy and freedom when we him: all-American football player, pretty girl-friend (or wife I am not sure), military medals put the needs of others ahead of our and promotions, etc. Sadly, though, he does not know what to do when he stops receiving own? Stephen Ministry provides the praise of others. He does not know what to do when his “good enough” is not good this kind of care, freedom, and joy. enough to earn the admiration of others, and he snaps. The second is that John Walker’s If you’ve ever thought about desire to have other people admire him leaves him with no moral compass. What separates finding ways to bring Christ’s love Steve Rodgers (the original Captain America) and John Walker is that Steve Rodgers had a to those who are hurting, you need moral conviction of what was right and wrong and did not care what other people thought of to learn more about Stephen him. He was going to do the good. John Walker did good deeds but in return expected Ministry. Contact Anne Grant, people to praise and adore him. He was doing his good deeds in order to gain fame. This 636-399-7633 or Jerry Nash, becomes most obvious when he begins to lie. We also see that this flaw has set him up to be 636-386-3650. manipulated as Val turns him into the “U.S. Agent.” Stewardship 5 mayordomía

“As the Lord spoke to me, the spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard the one who was speaking say to me, ‘Son of man, I am sending you…’” R Ezekiel 2:2R3 God has a plan for each of us. He calls us to do something for Him. But, He doesn’t leave us on our own to figure it out. He gives us the resources we need to do His work. Are you listening for God’s call? When you hear it, do you get on your feet and do the work He asks of you? Do not be afraid. God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. Answer His call.

New Pro-Life Play, “Viable,” Coming to the Archdiocese—Friday, July 9th (2PM & 6PM) The Archdiocese of St. Louis is partnering with Support After Abortion to launch the summer tour of “Viable” on Friday, July 9 at the Cardinal Rigali Center (20 Archbishop May Dr., St. Louis, MO 63119). Viable is not about the legality or politics of abortion. Rather, it focuses on the grace, mercy, healing, and redemption that are available from God to all men and women impacted. In 60 minutes, with three actors and two chairs, Viable’s simple but powerful message is a passionate portrayal of one woman’s healing journey and that of her family. The play is free and online pre-registration is required. Visit https://supportafterabortion.com/viable/ then scroll down to sign-up for a showing.
