Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were
also raised with him through faith in the power of God,
who raised him from the dead.
— Colossians 2:12
KEEP PRAYING
St. Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August, is often known as “the persistent mother.” She watched her oldest
son, Augustine, turn his back on his Christian faith. Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up talking directly to
her son on the advice of a local bishop, who told her that it was better to talk to God about Augustine then to Augustine
about God. The mother never gave up praying for her son. Eventually Augustine gave up his wild ways, was baptized,
and later ordained and named Bishop of Hippo. St. Augustine went on to become one of the Church’s greatest scholars.
Today’s readings address the importance of persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite of trepidation that he is bothering
the Lord, continues to ask about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus, in Luke’s Gospel, tells his disciples to “ask
and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). This is our
charge: keep praying.

Sometimes when bishops are consecrated, they are not given the care of a diocese as an “ordinary.” A very old
tradition, however, assures that they are invested with a “see,” a link with a local church. Many hundreds of places
around the world were dioceses at one time, but are no longer. In England, for example, some of the historic dioceses
such as London, Salisbury, and Manchester ceased to be Catholic at the Reformation and their cathedrals passed to the
Church of England. The reestablishment of the Catholic Church in the nineteenth century meant that new dioceses had
to be created, such as at Liverpool and Westminster. Similarly, in Scandinavia the ancient Catholic dioceses vanished
under Lutheranism. In North Africa, tiny dioceses disappeared under the sands or were swept away by Islam.
In the United States, some original dioceses never really developed as population centers, such as the old dioceses of
Bardstown, Vincennes, Sault Ste. Marie, or Walla Walla. The tradition of “titular sees” assures that the ancient
churches are always held in prayer, as the bishop celebrates Mass in its memory a few times a year.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
World Youth Day in Krakow:
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy”
This week, the universal Church focuses in prayerful solidarity on World Youth Day in Krakow,
where WYD’s founder, Saint John Paul II, served as archbishop. Its theme coincides with that of
Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). Today’s Gospel
echoes the same theme, as Jesus unites prayer with mercy in “The parable of the persistent friend.” Jesus teaches us not only
what words to pray, but what deeds must match authentic prayer.
How beautifully down-to-earth is Jesus’ portrait of a God who can be trusted to do what is best for us. A pesky neighbor
disturbs a sleeping friend and disrupts the household. Yet beautiful images unfold. Persevering prayer receives active, practical
mercy in loaves of bread, recalling Luke’s unique expression for the Eucharist, “the breaking of bread” (Luke 24:35; Acts 2:42).
WYD, the Jubilee, and Jesus thus unite to define perfect prayer as persevering communion with God and unconditional mercy
toward our neighbor.

During these hot days of summer, it seems
silly too early to think of fall craft shows.
However, to duplicate the excitement and
success of last year’s craft show, the
committee is already working hard to bring you the best craft
show EVER! Our one disappointment last year was that we had
to turn participants away because of space limitations. To solve
that problem, we have decided to make TWO separate events.
On Friday, September 30th, we will host a vendor only show.
Only vendors such as Mary Kay, Avon, Partylite, Tastefully
Simple, Pampered Chef, etc. will be invited to participate in this
show. Then on Saturday and Sunday, October 22 nd and 23rd, we
will host our annual two-day craft show. This show will have
crafters only – hand crafted items. There will be no commercial
vendors at this show. If you know anyone who would like to
participate in either of our shows, please refer them to Sue
Donofrio (708) 974-3969 or send an e-mail to:
[email protected] know.
P L E A S E, J O I N U S!
Interested in helping? We will get-together to wrap packages for our service members on Monday, August 1 , in
the Moscow Center Parish Hall from 8:00 A - 10:00 A.
If you would like to donate items, you can drop them off
that morning. If you are not able to donate items but still
wish to help, we do accept monetary donations to help
defray the cost of mailing packages.
We are most grateful for any help.
Checks can be made out to Twisted Sisters,
cost of sending packages is $12.50 per box.
Thank you and God Bless!
