Fr. K’s Fr. K’s Korner
He does not mean a mere absence
of war or of noise. Rather, peace,
Shalom, the Jewish word for it,
meant freedom from trouble, it
meant health, it meant a secure
and contented life, it meant all the
spiritual and material gifts God
would bestow on His people.
That security and contentment we
see in the tender picture Isaiah
paints in today’s first reading – a
child at its mother’s breast. In the
second reading, St. Paul, despite
his sufferings, wishes us this deep,
complete contentment we are
talking about here.
The priest or Extraordinary
Minister of Holy Communion says
those same words as they carry
Christ to the home of a sick or
home-bound Christian, and as the
priest begins the sacrament of the
A n o i n t i n g o f t h e S i c k .
Peace includes everything Jesus
stands for. It includes healing of
body and soul. It includes the
wisdom of His word, the comfort of
His presence. It includes all that
He did for us, especially His
suffering, death and resurrection,
relived in the Mass.
Sin is the biggest enemy of peace.
The death of Jesus renewed on the
Nearly everyone has
heard of Helen
Keller who could
neither see nor
hear. Totally blind
and totally deaf she
nevertheless became
highly educated.
One evening after a lecture she
opened the floor to questions.
Someone asked: “Miss Keller, if
you could have but one wish
granted, what would it be?”
What a question! Here was a
woman who had never heard the
voices or looked on the faces of
those she loved. Her only contact
with the world was by the sense of
touch. Surely her wish would be for
sight or hearing. Instead, to the
surprise of her audience, she
answered: “I would wish for world
peace.”
That answer showed the greatness
of the soul of Helen Keller, which
was something like the greatness
of the soul of the Master Himself.
Again and again Jesus prayed for
peace and greeted His followers
with the word: “Peace.” In today’s
Gospel, He teaches His disciples to
say: “Peace be to this house,” as
they enter any dwelling.
What does Jesus mean by peace?
Peace to this House
altar takes away sin. Note the
prayer: “Look not on our sins, but
on the faith of your Church, and
grant us the peace and unity of
your kingdom.”
Shortly thereafter the priest says:
“Lord Jesus Christ, you said to
your apostles, ‘My peace I leave
you, my peace I give you,’ look not
on our sins …” Then, “the peace of
the Lord be with you always.” Next
we are invited to show some sign of
peace between one another and
with the world – a handshake, a
greeting of peace, or just turning
with a smile to our neighbor.
The Eucharistic Prayer contains
these appealing words: “Lord, may
this sacrifice, which has made our
peace with you, advance the peace
and salvation of all the world.” At
the conclusion of Mass, the priest
invites you in his farewell to: “Go
in peace.”
Yes, Mass is a celebration of peace,
a sign of peace, a source of peace, a
treaty of peace. May every house
and heart in the world hear the
greeting of Christ: “Peace be to this
house.”
God bless you!
Feast of St. Benedict
Have you ever wanted to change the world? 5th century Europe was a dark
place. The Roman Empire had fallen, and barbarian tribes were picking
over the scraps of what remained. Faith hung on, but there was no
consistent, coherent Christian culture in the world around. Young Benedict
began his life with education and privilege but became disillusioned by a
life pursuing material success. He withdrew to a monastery and spent
much time in solitude. He began attracting followers, whom he organized
over time into 12 monasteries, with a 13th established to train young
monks. He wrote a rule of life including basic principles for living as
Christ. His monks took three vows: conversion to Christ, obedience to the
local abbot, and stability to remain with the community. Benedictine
monasteries became lights in the darkness, secure centers of Christian
culture enlivening the faithful beyond their walls. When the world around
us seems complicated and contrary to the Gospel, how will you be a light?

Listening Part 3 of
How to Help Someone in a Time of Loss
Most people in the early stages of grief struggle with shock and disbelief.
Telling the story of what happened allows them to come to grips with the
reality of the death. You can help by listening. A good listener doesn’t
interrupt or try to change the way the person is feeling. A good listener just
listens.
When grieving people begin to share their story, they sometimes get
emotional. Assure the person that it’s okay to cry or to express anger or
frustration.
Don’t say…
I know how you feel...You’ve got to be strong...Its a blessing in
disguise...God never gives us more than we can handle.
Instead, say…
I can’t imagine how painful this must be...It’s okay to cry...What I’m
hearing you say is...Anytime you want to talk.
Excerpt from “How to Help Someone in a Time of Loss”
Dipping in the Well
What is Lectio Divina, and how is it associated with the Benedictine
Monastic tradition, whose founder, St. Benedict, we honor on July 11?
Benedict desired his monks to live in community, praying the Liturgy of
the Hours together, contemplating sacred texts, and doing manual labor.
The monks developed a technique to facilitate a spiritual and devotional
reading of the Bible known as Lectio Divina, the holy reading of a text.
This method encourages the reader to hear the biblical text with an open
heart and focus on whatever God wants to highlight and then apply it to
daily life.
There are variations on Lectio Divina, but essentially, the technique
consists of a three-step process of reflection. When the reflection is done
with a group, the responses are shared by all the participants. Once the
text is selected, it is read meditatively, and the following are then explored:
a word or phrase that attracts you; how and where the content of this
reading touches your life today; what you believe that God wants you to do
during this coming week (month, year, lifetime)
Thanks to Benedict, the Christian community has been gifted with this
special way of entering into the biblical text. This week, use the Lectio
Divina process on one of the readings for the coming Sunday and make a
note of the life connections you are making. How is this reflection on the
biblical text drawing you closer to God and others?

Sharing the Gospel
Jesus sent out 72 of his followers to
spread the good news about God.
They were not to bring anything
with them - no food, no extra
clothes or shoes, not even money to
spend. They were to visit strangers
and completely depend on God to
give them what they needed. That
took a lot of faith!
Prayer Dear God, help me to remember
that you will give me what I need.

Our youth minister is getting married next weekend! Please keep her and
her husband to be in your prayers. Jenifer and Jeremy have been co-
leading youth ministry this past year (Jenifer's 3rd year!) at St. Anthony
parish and have really tried to help the youth come to a better
understanding of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Reflecting on this message
as well in their personal lives, they chose the feast of Sts. Zelie and Louis
Martin as their wedding date. The Martin's are not only the parents of the
well loved St. Therese, but also the first Sts. to be canonized as a married
couple!
Jenifer and Jeremy will continue to lead the ministry and are looking
forward to their marriage being a continued witness to the youth here at
St. Anthony. But nothing can be done well without prayers and they can
sure use yours! Thank you in advance and thank you too for all the prayers
and support you've already given our youth ministry. Steadily we've been
growing and it's only through the support and prayers of the parish.
Thank you! God bless!
Sts. Zelie and Louis… pray for us!
