Visits to the Sick
Due to hospital admitting policies, it is necessary to
inform the Rectory when hospitalized parishioners
would like a visit from a priest or deacon. Likewise,
call if you would like a visit while convalescing at a
facility or at home. Before being admitted to a
hospital for surgery it is advisable to call the Rectory
and arrange a time to receive the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick. Please contact the Rectory
regarding communion visits to the homebound.
Funerals
It is the responsibility of the parish to bury their
dead. The funeral director will contact the Rectory
Office regarding arrangements. Funerals are
ordinarily celebrated at 10am. According to
Diocesan policy, if family members wish to offer eulogies,
they should do so during the wake. #382 of the General
Instruction for the Universal Church states: At the
funeral Mass there should as a rule be a short homily, but
never a eulogy of any kind. No specific offering is
required in connection with the funeral liturgy.
New Parishioners welcome!
Please call the Rectory Office to register.

Flame of Faith
Dear Parish Family,
This weekend we welcome Father Rodolphe Arty,
CSC to our parish. Father is a member of the Holy Cross
Order, and has been serving in the Diocese of Joliet for
the past seven years. Please welcome Father Arty to Saint
Isaac’s and do what you can to help him feel at home.
Today’s readings remind us that words are not enough
when it comes to committing ourselves to the mission of
Jesus. In today’s Gospel, Jesus rebukes would-be
followers for putting other needs and concerns ahead of
His mission. Jesus was hard on people who claimed they
wanted to follow him, but then gave excuses for putting
off their commitment. As we continue to enjoy the
somewhat “slower” pace of Summer, let’s take the time to
be with the Lord, to listen to his voice speaking to our
hearts in prayer, and then, let’s commit ourselves to
“doing” the Gospel. Do something to put the Gospel in
action in your own life, your own home, and for those you
encounter. Let your life say something beautiful for Jesus.
God’s blessings!

Monday, July 4th
Independence Day
th
Monday, July 4 is a National
Holiday celebrating the birthday of
Country. Only one Mass will be
celebrated on the 4th of July at 9:30 a.m..
Please join us and pray for our great
Nation and her people. Let us together, as
family, thank God for the blessings of
liberty we have received, and pray for all
we have yet to achieve, with God’s help.
In observance of the holiday, the
Rectory Office will close on Thursday,
June 30th at Noon. The Office will
open for business on Tuesday, July 5th
at 8:30 am.
Each week we will examine the mass, piece by
piece, looking at all the elements that go into
this great prayer, the greatest act of worship
of the Roman Catholic Church.
Once the “private preparation prayers” of the priest
are concluded, and the gifts have been gathered and
prepared, the celebrant invites us to Pray brethren [Orate,
Fratres], that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable
to God, the almighty Father! In reality, it is CHRIST who
invites us to join ourselves to Him in His sacrifice to the
Father. The priest is, according to Catholic theology and
belief, acting in persona Christi, “in the person of Christ”
— he is an A lter Christus, “another Christ.”
How often have your heard it said... “I don’t get
anything out of the Mass! Why go?” But, the real
question is.... “What are you putting into it?” What, or
rather, WHO do you bring to the celebration of the
Eucharist, to give to Jesus? If you come with nothing,
wanting nothing but entertainment, you will walk away
disappointed. As Saint Thomas Aquinas said, our
external appearances are an indication of an internal
spirit, and likewise it forms the interior mind and
disposition, and builds holiness and devotion within us.
And so, we need to be attentive to our outward practice
and observance of our Catholic Faith as we join in the
celebration of the Mass.
What we do at Mass is not merely play acting or
remembering Jesus... We, like Mary and John at the foot
of the Cross, are made present to the same sacrifice of
Jesus, offered once and for all upon the altar of the Cross.
Through the celebration of the Mass, through the
Eucharist, Christ allows us to be part of that sacrifice.
Throughout the week, in little and in big ways, we are
given the chance to suffer with Jesus - in the hardships of
life. When we come to Mass on Sunday, we are supposed
to join our own sacrifices to THE SACRIFICE OF
JESUS. When the pr iest, at Mass, offer s the br ead
and wine, and invites us to pray that our sacrifice is
acceptable to God the Father Almighty... our response
is meant to be a conscious effort to join ourselves to
Him... to allow the Lord to take our lives, our joys and
sorrows, our sacrifices — to join them to His — and thus
perfect our sacrifice, and offer it to His Father in Heaven.
It is at that moment in the mass that we are to give Jesus
our hearts, and ask Him to offer us, in union with His
sacrifice to the Father. When you look at it that way, you
can see what a wonderful miracle, an awesome mystery,
and a tremendous gift the Eucharist is! Jesus gives us so
much, He gives us everything, why wouldn’t we want to
return to Him in the Mass, and GIVE HIM ourselves so
that He can offer us, along with Himself, to our Heavenly
Father. W hat do you bring to the celebration of the
Eucharist, to give to Jesus? “Who” do you bring?...

The Wisdom of the Church
Editorial Board of Our Sunday Visitor / May 15, 2016
In 1968, in the midst of the sexual revolution that was in large part
launched by the invention of the birth control pill, the last thing the
world wanted to hear was a condemnation of it by the Church. It was at
this pivotal moment that Pope Paul VI published Humanae V itae (On
Human Life), in which he upheld the Church's staunch teaching on
contraception and sterilization. The justification given by the Church
was rooted in the Church's moral teachings but also modern in its
pastoral concern and its support of abstinence-based programs such as
natural family planning. The uproar from many Catholics who had
been led to believe there would be a change was acute.
Nearly 50 years later, however, the United States has seen a
growing trend in the popularity of natural family planning due to
increased reports on the toxicity of artificial birth control pills. Indeed,
the American Cancer Society has labeled oral contraceptives as a
known human carcinogen. Though the reasons for objecting may
differ, the Church was proven to have been ahead of societal thinking
on this issue.
Humanae Vitae is not an isolated incident. Though often perceived
as being out of step with mainstream culture, the Church — always
firmly based in tradition, Scripture, the teachings of Jesus and natural
law — often is miles ahead, particularly in the moral arena.
Pornography is another such example. The viewing of sexually explicit
material has long been condemned by the Church for moral reasons,
but it is now widely accepted by society as a matter of no great
consequence. But society may be starting to catch up to the wisdom of
the Church. A secular-based anti-pornography movement is growing
as the first generation of young men who had unlimited access to
internet pornography are finding that overexposure has rewired their
brains to such an extent that it is making them unable to engage in
sexual activity when not viewing porn. Similar to those with changing
attitudes about natural family planning, these young men may not see
pornography as a moral evil, but rather recognize that their physical
and mental health is being negatively affected by it. Where
pornography is concerned, the stakes are high and growing more so
everyday. With the advent of the internet, personal computers and now
smartphones, sexually explicit content is available to anyone at
anytime, even potentially on school-issued laptops or tablets.
According to statistics provided by Covenant Eyes, a Christian-based
internet filtration system, the average age of the first exposure of
young boys to pornography is 11 to 12 years old. On average, 83
percent of boys and 57 percent of girls have viewed group sex online.
With the highly addictive quality of pornography and its ready
availability, parents can no longer afford to wait to address this topic
with their children even as young as 11.
In the Fall of 2015, the U.S. bishops issued the pastoral letter
"Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography" in
which they issued a call to action to all people of goodwill seeking to
combat the scourge. "May we work together for laws and for a culture
that remove pornography from its prominent and privileged place and
counter its numerous injustices," they wrote, "building instead a culture
that honors the true dignity and meaning of human sexuality."
The Church, in its wisdom, is speaking out on this issue, even
when it is unpopular to do so. Catholics are encouraged to support its
efforts, support one another and work to combat pornography for the
sake of our children and for the sake of society as a whole.

A Time for Blessings?
Msgr. Charles Pope — OSV
The need to be “included,” “involved,” and being
made to “feel special” is pervasive in our culture, and
often finds its way into the liturgy. But, is it the most
important end to achieve? For example, at funerals and
weddings, “practicing Catholics” are invited to come
forward to receive communion. But, what about the
others?... doesn’t this seem cruel and unnecessary?
Shouldn’t the priest invite everyone to come forward with
arms crossed to receive a blessing?
Remembering that the celebration of the liturgy is a
carefully crafted, age-old ritual, which is the action of
Christ— Jesus praying to His Father, in and through us—
there may be more important realities at work. And so,
the most certain answer to this seemingly sensitive and
caring question is, no. The Communion Procession, and
the reception of Holy Communion is a time for those who
are going to receive communion to come forward, that is
its purpose. It is not really a time to confer blessings, or
take care of any other business. The liturgy is meant to be
simple,
straightforward,
uncomplicated
and
unencumbered. Knowing that liturgical law is clear on the
matter... No one, even though he be a priest or bishop
may change, add, or take away anything from the liturgy
on his own authority [#22, Constitution on the Sacred
Liturgy]... adding things to the Communion Procession
would seem to be a disservice to the liturgy.
There is a practice that has developed in many
parishes where people do go forward for blessings, and
while not sinfully wrong, the honest answer is such a
practice is at variance from the norms of the Church.
And, it should be noted, that it may be pastorally
advisable to limit the blessings to those who consciously
and sincerely ask for the blessing and approach the priest.
But, only the priest may give the “priestly blessing”
requested. Lay Extra-Ordinary ministers who assist in the
distribution of Holy Communion do just that. They do not
share in the ordained ministry of the priest, and should
not be asked/expected to function in such a manner.

The Power of Invitation
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
Inviting someone to our Catholic faith is personal and critical. Most of the adults, who
have participated in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) over the years, did
so because someone they knew invited and encouraged them to attend the inquiry session at the end of August.
Our parish needs your help -- to be aware of people you know who do not belong to the Catholic church, and might be
interested, and personally invite them.
Please encourage them and let us know who they are so we may invite them also.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
June 26, 2016
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Yet again in Ordinary Time, Jesus seems to
demand extraordinary commitment. A wouldbe disciple enthusiastically volunteers to follow
Jesus “wherever” (Luke 9:57). Jesus replies that
“wherever” means “nowhere to rest his head” (9:58).
To other candidates, Jesus brusquely denies
reasonable requests to fulfill family obligations
(9:59, 61), declaring that discipleship demands total
commitment—now! But Jesus also demands that we
not judge how others respond. When James and John
volunteered to “call down fire from heaven” (9:54)
to destroy an unwelcoming town, Jesus “turned and
rebuked them” (9:55). All violence of any kind is
completely unacceptable among Jesus’ disciples, a
lesson this Jubilee Y ear of Mercy is teaching the
Christian community once again. Paul’s challenge to
the Galatians and us reinforces Jesus’ decisive
command to James and John that they express their
commitment to him through compassion for others.
We must abandon the violence of “biting and
devouring one another” (Galatians 5:15), choosing
instead to “serve one another through love” (5:13).
The Blessed Sacrament by John A. Hardon, S.J.
Father John Hardon at his remarkable best! Transcribed
from a series of 12 conferences given by Fr. Hardon in
1998, this publication will give you fresh insights and
many avenues for meditation on Jesus in His Real, true,
physical, divine Presence in the Blessed Sacrament – a
thorough compendium of Church teaching regarding the

Coming Home To Your True Self by Albert Haase, O.F.M.
In this book, Albert Haase invites you to return home
– and shows you the way to get there. “Home,” he
writes, “is the sacrament of the present moment. It is
only in living right now, right here, that we discover
our lives and this world awash in the grace of God.”
Using the story of the prodigal son to illustrate the far
country of our false self and the way back home to our
true self in Christ, Haase introduces us to the spiritual
disciplines that can help us find the path to the
Father. A book for us all. No matter how long you’ve
walked – God is still home.
