Saturday 8:15 am Weekend Saturday Vigil Mass 5:00 pm Sunday 8:00 am, 9:30 am, 10:15 am (Gym) 11:30 am Reconciliation Every Saturday after the 8:15am Mass And Anytime By Appointment Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time 2 Today’s Gospel of the Good Samaritan can be looked at in many ways. It provides us with a challenge because it is so well known. Let me suggest that it is a Gospel about freedom, a person free enough ‘to be moved with compassion,’ free enough to respond to a person in need. We know the story so well, three people pass by the person on the side of the road and one responds with mercy. In a way, the priest and the Levite responded correctly as they were observing the requirements of the law. Why? If one were to have contact with a person beaten and half dead, they would become ritually unclean. They would be unable to serve in the Temple. But the Samaritan comes by and sees something the first two do not, he sees a person in dire need. “He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to the inn, and cared for him.” The point of the story? Who was the neighbor to the robbers’ victim? “The one who treated him with mercy, Go and do likewise.” The priest and Levite missed something which the Samaritan saw, namely, there was a person in need on the side of the road, a person needing help. I suggested earlier that this was a Gospel about freedom. The Samaritan was free enough to respond to this person on the side of the road in the most appropriate way, with mercy/ compassion. The priest and Levite were not free, they were bound to a literal understanding of the law. At the beginning of this Gospel, Jesus points this out. What is required to inherit eternal life? What is the law really about? Jesus affirms the answer of the scholar of the law, love of God and neighbor. This answer is at the heart of the Jewish law and the Christian law. As Jesus says, “do this and you will live.” How free are we to do something for the needy person on the side of the road? What are we bound to that makes us less free? We might think about this. Jesus also teaches us who the neighbor is, the nice person, and more challengingly, the person on the side of the road. Summer Blessings, Fr.

Call the Parish Office and we will put their name on If our adherence to liturgical law does not aid our prayer list. in this transformation, then we have missed its point. We have made the law external rubrics to be followed for their own sake rather than something written in our Maj.Jason Harlan - Nephew of Val Deady hearts. This skews the real purpose of liturgical law— Rev. John Barkemeyer - Son of Hank to ensure that liturgy remains the liturgy of the whole Brian Walsh-Nephew of Peg McIntyre church making present Christ’s mystery, and not just Jesse Goutier-Cousin of Chris, Michael & Laura Farina an idiosyncratic ritual of a few.

We have been active for years in assisting at 'St. Stans’, Saint Stanislaus Kostka, the dome-shaped imposing structure at Kennedy & Division street in Chicago. There is an old-fashioned ‘soup kitchen’ staffed by Volunteers from Parishes all over our Archdiocese, who tirelessly serve food to the destitute & needy in our society. Our SVDP Wilmette Conference sends two Volunteers every Friday in this Christian effort to indeed ‘serve the poor and the needy’, and additional Volunteers would be helpful. Make no mistake: this is ‘glamorous work’!! Helping prepare feeding utensils starting at 10:30 AM, then either washing dishes, sweeping the floors, cleaning up, etc. after the one hour feeding, which starts at Noon. We normally are finished around 1:30 PM Anyone interested in helping in this worthwhile effort in serving the truly needy in our society, please call the Parish Office and leave word on our SVDP ‘hot line’ and we will return a call shortly with additional details. Catholic Charities Advocacy Message State Budget Update July 1, 2016 As everyone is likely aware at this point, yesterday the Illinois General Assembly passed a stopgap 18 month budget, and the Governor signed it. The bill provides funding for FY16 and for half of FY17. These actions offer short-term relief to Human Services providers, and other areas of the State, but we face a much tougher challenge in January. Catholic Charities still asks that you advocate for a full budget, and a return to safety and the stability of the Human Services structure in Illinois. The good news: · Human Services providers will start seeing payment on the contracts they hold for FY16, and can expect payment on the services they provide in the first half of FY17. A Twelve Step Program for Those Seeking Emotional Health Emotions Anonymous is a twelve-step organization. Our fellowship is composed of men and women, 18 years old or older, who come together in weekly meetings for the purpose of working toward recovery from emotional difficulties. EA members are from many walks of life and are of diverse ages, economic status, social and educational backgrounds. The only requirement for membership is a desire to become emotionally healthy. This program has been known to work miracles in the lives of many who suffer from problems as diverse as depression, anger, broken or strained relationships, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, panic, abnormal fears, resentment, jealousy, guilt, despair, fatigue, tension, boredom, loneliness, withdrawal, obsessive and negative thinking, worry, compulsive behavior and a variety of other emotional issues.
