Church Safety: Father Lee met with the Homeland

Defense Bureau for the third time this week and visited

SUNDAY COLLECT. O God, whose providence in the ordering of all things never fails; we humbly beseech Thee to put away from

us all harmful things, and to give us those which are profitable for us. Through our Lord.

SUNDAY EPISTLE: Romans 6: 19-23 Brethren : I speak a human thing, because of the infir-mity of your flesh; for as you have yielded your mem-bers to serve uncleanness and iniquity unto iniquity, so now yield your members to serve justice unto sanc-tification. For when you were the servants of sin, you

were free from justice. What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting. For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God is

life everlasting; in Christ Jesus our Lord. . ..

SUNDAY GOSPEL: St. Matthew 7: 15-21 At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of

sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every

tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not every one that saith to Me: Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

A Few Words with Fr. Lee

For those who are able, the summer season provides an opportunity to step away from our usual work routine for a

little relaxation. A true hiatus from work provides a leisurely freedom to devote ourselves to carefree activities that

we can simply enjoy, without any obligation or sense of utility.

This need is especially necessary for those of us in the United States who are known throughout the world for our

efficiency. Americans love to develop skills and tools that facilitate utility and "getting the job done." We must watch

that this is not done at the expense of simple pleasures and spiritual goods that God offers to us on the natural and

supernatural levels respectively.

Although family vacations are ideally restful, they are often exhausting logistical endeavours, especially for the par-

ents. Although parents offer up this sacrifice for their children and the memories they will hold, even these

times provide a time away from work and the daily grind. With a little quiet time, this may still prove to be an occa-

sion to obtain a new perspective and therefore different ways to consider and approach aspects of usual daily living.

Taking time out to learn and appreciate the good and beautiful in this life, whether the context is a game, a good

conversation with friends, a natural wonder or a quiet church, is praiseworthy and a slight foretaste of the joys that

our good God has prepared for those who love Him in Heaven.

Excerpt from the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola SCRUPLES AND PERSUASIONS OF OUR ENEMY

First Note. The first: They commonly call a scruple what proceeds from our own judgment and freedom: that is to

say, when I freely decide that that is sin which is not sin, as when it happens that after some one has accidentally stepped on a cross of straw, he decides with his own judgment that he has sinned.

This is properly an erroneous judgment and not a real scruple.

Second Note. The second: After I have stepped on that cross, or after I have thought or said or done some other thing, there comes to me a thought from without that I have sinned, and on the other hand it appears to me that I have not sinned; still I feel disturbance in this; that is to say, in as much as I doubt and in as much as I do not doubt. That is a real scruple and temptation which the enemy sets.

Third Note. The third: The first scruple -- of the first note -- is much to be abhorred, because it is all error; but the second -- of the second note -- for some space of time is of no little profit to the soul which is giving itself to spiritual

exercises; rather in great manner it purifies and cleanses such a soul, separating it much from all appearance of sin: according to that saying of Gregory: It belongs to good minds to see a fault where there is no fault.

Fourth Note. The fourth: The enemy looks much if a soul is gross or delicate, and if it is delicate, he tries to make it more delicate in the extreme, to disturb and embarrass it more. For instance, if he sees that a soul does not consent to either mortal sin or venial or any appearance of deliberate sin, then the enemy, when he cannot make it fall into a thing that appears sin, aims at making it make out sin where there is not sin, as in a word or very small thought.

If the soul is gross, the enemy tries to make it more gross; for instance, if before it made no account of venial sins, he will try to have it make little account of mortal sins, and if before it made some account, he will try to have it now make much less or none.

Fifth Note. The fifth: The soul which desires to benefit itself in the spiritual life, ought always to proceed the contrary way to what the enemy proceeds; that is to say, if the enemy wants to make the soul gross, let it aim at making it-self delicate. Likewise, if the enemy tries to draw it out to extreme fineness, let the soul try to establish itself in the

mean, in order to quiet itself in everything.

Sixth Note. The sixth: When such good soul wants to speak or do something within the Church, within the under-standing of our Superiors, and which should be for the glory of God our Lord, and there comes to him a thought or temptation from without that he should neither say nor do that thing -- bringing to him apparent reasons of vain-glory or of another thing, etc., -- then he ought to raise his understanding to his Creator and Lord, and if he sees that it is His due service, or at the least not contrary to it, he ought to act diametrically against such temptation, ac-cording to St. Bernard, answering the same: Neither for thee did I begin, nor for thee will I stop.
