INVITED TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Good News is that we have all been invited— Sometimes, this “Treasures” column can seem to invited to the Kingdom, invited to be disciples.

Such is the discernment. Whether we choose marriage, ordination, case with papal bulls, which conjure up all sorts of single life, or community life, we know the serious images, but are actually not what you might expect. A planning and consideration that accompany these pro- bull is a papal letter on a matter of great consequence, found decisions.

Some famous papal bulls are Exsurge Domine (Arise, O Lord), written against Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses in 1520; Munificentissimus Deus (The Most Bountiful God), the promulgation of the dogma of the TODAY’S READINGS Assumption in 1950 by Pope Pius XII; or Humanae Salutis (Human Salvation), by which Pope John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council in 1962. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. First Reading — Who can ever know God’s counsel Co. unless God gives wisdom and sends the Holy Spirit from on high? (Wisdom 9:13-18b). Psalm — In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge (Psalm 90). Second Reading — Paul asks Philemon to accept back his slave Onesimus, not as a slave but as a brother (Philemon 9-10, 12-17). Apostolate of Prayer Gospel — To be a disciple of Jesus one must carry one’s own cross and renounce all possessions (Luke 14:25-33).
