14th Sunday in Ordinary Time “He said to them, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few…’” Luke 10:2
As Catholics we are all called to serve in ministry. However,
many of us are unsure how to use our talents and gifts to
build God’s Church. Talk to God and ask Him what He
wants you to do. The next time one of your fellow
parishioners asks you to help or join a committee, it may be
the answer to your prayer

Feast Day of the Week
St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria: Feast Day July 5.
Born in 1502
At the same time that Martin Luther was attacking abuses in the
Church, a reformation within the Church was already being attempted. Among the early movers of the Counter-Reformation
was Anthony Zaccaria. When Anthony was two, his father died.
His mother devoted herself to the spiritual education of her son.
He received a medical doctorate at 22 and, while working among
the poor of his native Cremona in Italy, was attracted to the religious apostolate. He renounced his rights to any future inheritance, worked as a catechist and was ordained a priest at the
age of 26.
Called to Milan in a few years, he laid the foundations of three
religious congregations, one for men and one for women, plus an
association of married couples. Their aim was the reform of the
decadent society of their day, beginning with the clergy, religious
and lay people.
Greatly inspired by St. Paul (his congregation is named the Barnabites, after the companion of that saint), Anthony preached
with great vigor in church and street, conducted popular missions
and was not ashamed of doing public penance.
He encouraged such innovations as the collaboration of the laity
in the apostolate, frequent Communion, the Forty Hours devotion
and the ringing of church bells at 3:00 p.m. on Fridays.
His holiness moved many to reform their lives but, as with all
saints, it also moved many to oppose him. Twice his community
had to undergo official religious investigation, and twice it was
exonerated.
While on a mission of peace, he became seriously ill. He died at
Cremona, July 5, 1539. [2] He was buried in the convent of
the Angelics of St Paul, the female branch of the Barnabites, in
Milan.

Pastoral Council Column
Independence Day
This coming Monday, we’ll celebrate the signing of the Declaration
of Independence. An ancestor of mine, with the unlikely name of
Caesar Rodney, was a delegate from Delaware and one of the
signers of the document. He is depicted on the Delaware quarter, a
man on horseback, because he rode 80 miles overnight, through a
thunderstorm, to be at Independence Hall the next day. There, he
cast the deciding vote for Delaware, thus making the signing unanimous by all thirteen colonies.
Keep in mind that this was nothing like gathering with a group of
like minded friends to pass a law in Washington. Every one of
those men signed his own death warrant, identifying himself as an
enemy of the British crown. But to some people, the call of freedom
from tyranny is more important than an easy life.
I bring this up by way of honoring Joseph Sciambra, about whom
we read a little last week, the man who challenged the leaders in
the Church to continue to give clear, unambiguous moral guidance.
Having lived a life mired in homosexuality before becoming a Catholic, Mr. Sciambra pleads the case for all of us, that we not be identified by, or indentured to, sin.
When Bishop Lynch of Florida wrote in his blog that a “hostile attitude” in the Church “breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and
transgender people,” Mr. Sciambra took issue.
“Unfortunately, some in the Church, like the Bishop from Florida,
continue to make the same mistakes of the past, by constantly
referring to us as gay, lesbian, transgender and LGBT; we are
none of those things. We were not born “gay,” and we were not
born damaged; we may have been hurt along the way, but, like
the rest of humanity, we can recover and heal. We do not belong to an identity, we do not belong to a movement, and we do
not belong to a group. So don’t talk to us as if we do. We belong
to God.”
Mr. Sciambra is asking the bishop – and us – to see him and all
mankind in the light of Christ. We are not a people subject to the
tyranny of lust, so don’t try to tell us we are. Yes, we struggle
against sin; that is our inheritance from Adam. Our inheritance from
Christ Jesus is life free from sin, and the promise of the deep and
joyous mystery of eternal life.

PART 2 OF 2
JULY 3, 2016
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)
THE MORNING STAR
WRITTEN BY P. ALFONSO GÁLVEZ. POSTED IN FR. ALFONSO'S WRITINGS
Salvation is an even less expressive notion because it is usually set
against Condemnation, thus being merely a positive concept opposing a negative
one.
On the other hand, it is true that while no effort is spared in explaining any
type of Spirituality, nevertheless, notions such as paradisiacal state, happiness,
or eternal salvation are insufficient for they are unable to fulfill the deepest aspirations of the human heart. After all, the human heart has been created to love and
to be loved, and it cannot be satisfied unless it knows that a personal element will
be the other within the relationship of love that is to be the last end of man. In this
regard, we must emphasize the importance of the entire Farewell Sermon of the
Last Supper as the scene par excellence where Christ expresses clearly the full
scope of the final destiny of each one of the Elect: being with Him forever. In other
words, the mutual, reciprocal, and eternal possession of the one by the other –of
Jesus Christ by the disciple— and vice-versa –of the disciple by Jesus. Then, and
only then, the desire expressed by the bride vis-à-vis the Bridegroom –and the desire of the Bridegroom in relation to the bride—will finally be fulfilled; a mutual
desire which the Song of Songs so sublimely describes (Sg 2:16; 6:3):
My beloved is mine, and I am his:
He feedeth among the lilies.
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine:
He pastures his flock among the lilies.
In this sense, the knowledge that the crown of the Elect is nothing less than
the definitive possession of the Morning Star, that is Jesus Christ Himself, fills an
important gap in the history of Christian Spirituality. For Christian Spirituality
has not emphasized nearly enough, or so it seems to me, the Person of Jesus Christ or
the need to bring to the fore the Humanity of Jesus Christ in order to evoke in man a
love whose allurement his heart has always yearned for, consciously or unconsciously. A love, moreover, which can only be stirred up by a personal element, as
Saint Augustine foresaw: Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.
