The irst is the call issued by the L to the prophet Amos, the “shepherd and a dresser of sycamores” (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out “two by two” (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we were baptized. The second reading invites us to ponder that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in Christ and that, in love, God “destined us for adoption” (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once again through God’s living word. - Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES First Reading — Amos said, “The L took me Sunday: Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time from following the lock, and said to me, Go, Monday: Our Lady of Mount Carmel prophesy to my people” (Amos 7:12-15).

Paluch Co. —St. Bonaventure July 15, 2018 St. Francis de Sales Parish Page 4 POPE: SEEK CHRIST IN ‘ABANDONED TABERNACLES’ OF THE POOR, THE LONELY By Junno Arocho Esteves | Catholic News Service | June 6, 2018 chicagocatholic.com ROME — As he did with his disciples at Passover, Jesus asks all Christians to prepare a place for him, not in “exclusive, selective places” but rather in uncomfortable places that are “untouched by love, untouched by hope,” Pope Francis said. “How many persons lack digniied housing or food to eat! All of us know people who are lonely, troubled and in need: they are abandoned tabernacles. We, who receive from Jesus our own room and board, are here to prepare a place and a meal for these, our brothers and sisters in need,” the pope said in his homily during Mass June 3, the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. Pope Francis burns incense as he celebrates Mass marking the feast of Corpus Christi in Pope Francis celebrated the feast day Mass not in Rome, as had been the Ostia, a suburb of Rome, June 3. tradition since 1979, but in the seaside town of Ostia, about 16 miles (CNS photo/Paul Haring) west. Ostia was where St. Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, died in 387 on a journey back to Africa after St. Augustine’s conversion to Christianity. During his pontiicate, Blessed Paul VI celebrated the feast day in different neighborhoods in and around Rome, including in Ostia in 1968. Pope Francis’ evening Mass outside St. Monica Church was followed by a Corpus Christi procession through the streets of Ostia. A local priest carried the monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament, surrounded by four men carrying tall poles holding a canopy. Thousands of men, women and children lined the streets, taking photos and reverently making the sign of the cross as the Blessed Sacrament passed them. Owing to his dificulty walking long distances, Pope Francis met the procession at the Church of Our Lady of Bonaria instead of participating in it. Before the benediction, the pope stood before the Blessed Sacrament, head bowed in silent prayer, while the choir sang “Tantum Ergo,” the medieval eucharistic hymn composed by St. Thomas Aquinas. In his homily, the pope relected on the Gospel reading in which Jesus instructs his disciples to ind a place to celebrate the Passover.

  • 07-21 Lawrence of Brindisi
    “We do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus” (2 Cor 4:5). Today is the Memorial of Lawrence of Brindisi, a Doctor of the Church noted for his preaching. His sermons rely heavily on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. As a bright and talented student, he had a knack for learning languages and was able to read the biblical texts in their original language. Lawrence had an excellent knowledge of the languages Jesus spoke, Hebrew and Aramaic. He gave the credit to God for his gift with languages. “At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian.”i As a scholar, he tried to learn from the master. “Remembering the sufferings of Jesus Christ, he could not refrain from tears. He honored Mary, the Mother of God, with a very tender love, and to her he ascribed whatever he had received from Christ. Greatly devoted to prayer, he used whatever time he could for it and was often lifted up in ecstasy. He was famous for the gift of prophecy and the reading of hearts.”ii Lawrence was born in 1559 and entered studies for the priesthood with the Capuchin Franciscans in Venice at the age of 16. Completing his studies in Padua, he was ordained at the age of 23. He lived in the era after the Council of Trent and the Counter Reformation.
