WELCOME

CORCORAN’S CORNER As I begin my ministry at St. Elizabeth Seton Parish, I would like to introduce

you to my best friend in the parish: You, the faithful parish bulletin reader!

In the coming years, each week we will have a conversation. I will write about life in our parish, responding to what I have heard you talk about in recent days. While it may look like I am doing all the talking through the bulletin articles, in truth it is the parish-ioners who have been doing most of the talking. My bulletin articles are only my brief response to an ongoing conversation. I also want to welcome all of you to membership in the C.I.A.: the Corcoran Intelligence Agency. So much goes on in a parish this size, that often the pastor can be the last to know about it. But with you as my agents, I will know who is ill and in the hospital, when people may need a kind word of support, or a healthy challenge or encouragement to change, and I will find out about all that is happening in our parish groups and organizations. I look forward to preaching at all the Masses this weekend, as do Frs. Kuca and Gubbins, who will get a bit of a break! I am also looking forward to meeting so many of you. Please know I am terrible at remember-ing names. And If I get your name wrong, consider being re-baptized, as I may never get your real name right! In one parish I called one of our students whose name was Michael, Rudy. At the end of eighth grade, his classmates one day blurted out when I called on him in class as Rudy, that his name was Michael. I said no it isn't, and then found out I had the name wrong. Mi-chael said he always responded to me as Rudy because he thought it was a nickname I had for him! There are a lot of Rudy's out there! I also have the annoying habit of as-signing children who are not yours, as part of your family. I will also marry husbands and wives off to other spouses. Imagine my shock when I see you walking hand in hand in the church parking lot with your spouse, thinking to myself, "Why are they holding hands? They are married to someone else?" NOT! On the other hand, I have a good memory for faces, and will spot you in other settings as someone I know, but of course, I will not know your name. We will have a lot of laughs. Forewarned is forearmed.

Keep smiling!

Journey with the Lord and let your heart hear God’s Words….

By Margie Guadagno St. Elizabeth Seton Pastoral Associate

When the disciples

met Jesus

on the road,

they were

disappointed

and sad.

He walked with them

and listened to

their story.

Then, by opening up

the Scriptures

He gave them hope!

He helped them see

that they were

not abandoned

or left orphaned,

that God

was with them

and would

always be part

of their journey.

The Road To EmmausThe Road To EmmausThe Road To Emmaus The Road To Emmaus The Road To EmmausThe Road To EmmausThe Road To Emmaus

Peace Be With You When there is no peace… hands hurt, darkness is everywhere, children cry. When there is no peace… nerves tighten, fear explodes, emotions run red. Where there is no peace… hateful looks, crushing words, thrown away and forgotten. What can peace bring? A lifting of darkness, a song of quiet, a spirit that’s raised. What can peace bring? Full stomachs, filled beds, feet shod, bodies covered. What can peace bring? A willing worker, outstretched hands, a healed heart.

J ESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES that the first thing they were to do on their journey was wish “Peace” to those they stayed

with. Even before telling them they were sent by Jesus, or even before saying the reign of God was at hand, they were to offer a wish for peace. Trying to understand why peace was so important can be a life-long search. There are many books that offer endless theories on what God’s peace is. One of them is our Bible. The psalmist says “the Lord blesses his people with peace” and “the Lord prom-

ises peace to his people” and again, “those who love the Lord’s law have great peace.” Isaiah claims that “those whose mind is steadfast will be kept in perfect peace” and that “although the mountains will be shaken, God’s covenant of peace cannot be removed.” And in the New Testament, Je-sus himself says “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you” and Paul tells us that “God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” All these wondrous sayings about peace, yet, the exact definition eludes us. Maybe that’s because whatever peace is or whatever peace can be depends in great part on us. It’s not what we read about it that makes us understand what peace is, it is what we do. We are the disci-ples Jesus has sent out into the world. We are the ‘lambs’ that must live among the ‘wolves’ and give the gift of peace even while being torn apart by the hatreds and violence of the selfish, the prejudiced and the greedy.

W HAT MAKES PEACE COME ALIVE is enough food for all. It is having access to the

medicines that can cure us. It is providing others with the means to take care of their families. It is fostering an environment where children can go to school, walk to the store, or play in a park without the fear of being shot. It is living freely and having a share in the good things of this world that God created for all human beings. This is what it means to have peace. This is what it means to do peace. This, too, Paul tells us, “The kingdom of God is not a matter of eat-ing and drinking, but of righteousness…. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”

Do you thirst to know more about your faith? Are you searching for help in your prayer life? Do you hear a call to deepen your faith?

If the answer is yes, then the Growing Faith Project may be for you. Growing Faith offers a chance to connect with your faith at a beginner’s level. It offers you a chance to take the ‘first step’ in looking at what your Catholic faith is about. This is also a good opportunity for those who might want to reconnect with the Church. The Growing Faith project will begin with the basics: Who is Jesus Christ? What did Jesus teach? Why did he suffer? What happened at the Resurrection? How does he live on in the Church? The sessions will run throughout July on Tuesdays STARTING ON JULY 9. There is a nominal cost of $15.00 for the booklets from the Growing Faith Project. Come and find out more.

Reflections for Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 14, 2013

God sent Jesus to reform our hearts, to re-create them, to transform them into more loving and open hearts. The Gospel challenges the old saying the poet Robert Frost once quoted: “Good fences make good neighbors.”

Jesus educates us into another vision of what makes a good neighbor.

NEXT SUNDAY’S FOCUS: OUR GOOD NEIGHBOR GOD

God, who placed You in our hearts, help us to remember your nearness to us in the depths of our being, and to allow Your Son’s law of love to guide what we see, say, and do. Increase our openness to Your Spirit and how Your Spirit guides us. Amen.

Jesus is questioned by a lawyer who asks how to gain eternal life. Jesus replies with the question: “What is written in the law?” The lawyer responds to Jesus that one must love God and neighbor. Here, typical of Luke, the question of neighbor becomes the central focus. Jesus gives an extreme example to challenge His listener. He speaks of a Good Samaritan who helps someone who had

been robbed on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. To this day, that particular road is difficult and dangerous. One would have ex-pected religious leaders to help the man, but they pass by the wounded man without com-ing to his assistance. It might be that they were afraid, or possibly they were concerned with becoming ritually impure. Whatever the reason, they passed by. Then a Samaritan came along and helped the wounded man. Samaritans hated Jews and Jews hated Sa-maritans. Yet, it was this very man who reached out in charity to the wounded man. In addition, he also showed an exaggerated charity that one would expect of a family member or loved one, not a stranger. Jesus asks the lawyer who is the true neighbor. His answer is the Samaritan. Jesus tells him he must follow the Samaritan’s example.

Who is my neighbor? (Luke 10:25-37)

The word “neighbor” is rooted in the Old English words “near” (neah) and “a dweller” (gebur). A neighbor is one who dwells near. Today’s readings take the definition of a neighbor beyond physical nearness. When the lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” he was asking about the requirement of the law that commanded that one love one’s neighbor as oneself. Jesus’ answer went to the heart of the issue. To be a neighbor was to reach out to help anyone in need, setting aside barriers that either society or selfishness might set up. To be a neighbor was to open one’s heart to another, recognizing in the other the image of the God who created them. To be a neighbor was to treat another with mercy. When Moses said God’s law was “something very near, already in your mouths and in your hearts,” he was presenting God as a true neighbor, as near as our heartbeat. When Paul said Jesus was both the image of the invisible God and the head of His body, the Church, could any image better capture the nearness of Christ and His Church? St. Teresa of Avila echoed this when she said, “Christ has no body now but yours, no hands or feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s compassion looks upon the world.”

Readings for the Week July 8th-July 13th Mon.: Gn 28:10-22a; Mt 9:18-26 Tues.: Gn 32:23-33; Mt 9:32-38 Wed.: Gn 41:55-57; 42:5-7a, 17-24a; Mt 10:1-7 Thurs.: Gn 44:18-21, 23b-29; 45:1-5; Mt 10:7-15 Fri.: Gn 46:1-7, 28-30; Mt 10:16-23 Sat.: Gn 49:29-32; 50:15-26a; Mt 10:24-33

REFLECTION

The word is very near to you; you have only to carry it out (Deuteronomy 30:10-14). The law that God gave Israel was a wonderful gift. Many pagan nations lived in fear be-cause they did not know what their gods wanted. Their gods were capricious and would condemn them for faults that the peo-ple might not even have known they were

committing. Furthermore, the rules were con-stantly changing so they could never be at peace. But the God of Israel had given His chosen people the law to guide them in the right paths. The law was placed in their hearts and mouths by the Lord Himself.

This hymn speaks about who Christ is, calling Him an icon of the Father. Icons are not just pictures, but considered representations of the Holy One. The hymn presents Jesus as the Wisdom of God (an attribute of God in the Old Testament). It was an architect who as-

sisted Him at creation and the revelation of God’s will. Jesus is the head of the Church and the firstborn from the dead who brought our justification with God through His death and resurrection. He provided us a way to live in that justification by giving us the Church.

All things were created through Him and for Him (Colossians 1:15:20).

You Are The Key To Our Success! The St. Elizabeth Seton Social Action Ministry and St. Procopius Parish would like to thank the people of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish for their generosity at our recent Small Appliance and Clothing Drive on Saturday, June 22. We would also like to recognize and introduce you to a very special lady who is a tireless volunteer at St. Procopius: Micaela Ibarra Micaela is an 84-year old woman who is a widow and mother of three children. Micaela has dedicated her life to service.

In the past she has worked part-time at a paid position with the Little Brothers organization. While working for Little Brothers, she also did volunteer work at St. Procopius. She realized that St. Procopius needed her more, so she left Little Brothers in 1984 and became a volunteer solely for St. Procopius’ Social Services.

Micaela coordinates all of the collections for St. Procopius Church, including the many different drives the people of St. Elizabeth Seton have participated in through the Archdiocese of Chicago Sharing Parish Program.

Micaela also coordinates the meals and other needed assistance for the homeless of the community. Because she is such a special person that has dedicated her life to the service of the people at St. Procopius, a

recent mural has been painted on the walls of the St. Procopius complex (Photo left, above, right).

Photos left: (ONE AND TWO): St. Elizabeth Seton volunteers provide “curb service” and load our truck with your donations.

SAINTS OF THE WEEK

SAINT JOHN JONES

(1530-1598)

SAINT JOHN WALLS (1620-1679)

THESE TWO FRIARS WERE MARTYRED IN ENGLAND IN THE 16TH AND 17TH CENTURIES FOR REFUSING TO DENY THEIR FAITH. JOHN JONES WAS WELSH. He was ordained a diocesan priest and was twice imprisoned for administering the sacraments before leaving England in 1590. He joined the Franciscans at the age of 60 and returned to England three years later while Queen Elizabeth I was at the height of her power. John ministered to Catholics in the English countryside until his imprisonment in 1596. He was condemned to be hanged, drawn and quartered. John was executed on July 12, 1598. JOHN WALL WAS BORN IN ENGLAND but was educated at the English College of Douai, Belgium. Ordained in Rome in 1648, he entered the Franciscans in Douai several years later. In 1656 he returned to work secretly in England. In 1678 Titus Oates worked many English people into a frenzy over an alleged papal plot to murder the king and restore Catholicism in that country. In that year Catholics were legally excluded from Parliament, a law which was not repealed until 1829. John Wall was arrested and imprisoned in 1678 and was executed the following year. John Jones and John Wall were canonized in 1970.

COMMENT: Every martyr knows how to save his/her life and yet refuses to do so. A public repudiation of the faith would save any of them. But some things are more precious than life itself. These martyrs prove that their 20th-century countryman, C. S. Lewis, was correct in saying that courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form (shape) of every virtue at the testing point, that is, at the point of highest reality.

QUOTE: "No one is a martyr for a conclusion; no one is a martyr

for an opinion. It is faith that makes martyrs." CARDINAL NEWMAN

ST. ELIZABETH SETON PARISH INFORMATION Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered on Saturday, between 4:15-4:45pm.

Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated twice monthly at 1pm. Reserve your time by calling the Pastoral Center early. We are limited to six children per Sunday.

Baptismal Couples preparing for the birth of their child should contact the Pastoral Center to register for a one night seminar, focusing on a parent’s role in his/her child’s faith development. This session is mandatory prior to the Baptism.

Anointing of the Sick is available in the Church every Monday after the 9am Mass. For those who are ill or facing hospitalization, it is appropriate to receive the sacrament once every six months. Please call the Pastoral Center for more information.

Ministry of Care is available to give Communion to the housebound, to visit and pray for hospitalized and/or to arrange for the Anointing of the Sick. Please call the Pastoral Center for assistance.

In the Hospital? Because of HIPAA Privacy regulations hospitals can no longer contact the parish regarding your hospitalization. It is the responsibility of you or a family member to notify our parish. We desire to offer whatever spiritual support we can. Please call the Pastoral Center.

Sacrament of Marriage Couples planning to marry are encouraged to make arrangements at least six months in advance.

Wedding Workshops are offered throughout the year. They provide engaged couples with guidelines and suggestions for the celebration of the Sacrament of Marriage. The workshop covers topics ranging from readings and music to flowers and video taping.

Adult Choir sings at all 10am Sunday Masses, as well as at a number of special liturgies.

Moving? Please call the office at 708-403-0101.
