THIS WEEK AT THE CENTER… THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 1, 2018

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

As Independence Day draws near, we think of the men and women of the military who serve with courage and competence, some far from home. How does the Church accompany them? In 1939, Pope Pius XII created an independent jurisdiction of the Catholic Church called the “Military Vicariate.” In 1985 Pope John Paul II created the “Archdiocese for Military Services, USA.” Spanning the globe and serving nearly one and a half million Roman Catho-lics, more than one thousand priests minister in hospitals, on military bases of all the armed forces, on ships at sea, and on the battlefield. The AMS does not ordain priests, but accepts priests on loan from religious orders and dioceses. In 1824 a Jesuit priest named Adam Marshall enlisted in the Navy and died at sea in 1825. He was as-signed as a “schoolmaster,” but he sought out and minis-tered to Catholic sailors. Twenty years later, President Polk was worried that the war with Mexico was seen as anti-Catholic, so he recruited two Jesuit priests to serve in the army as chaplains. At the time of the Civil War, only about ten percent of Americans were Catholic. Military policies forced Catholic soldiers to attend Protestant services. The Church protested this rule, and many priests volunteered to become chaplains. Their witness and the courage of the “Nuns of the Battlefield” (several orders of sisters who assisted Civil War victims) helped temper prej-udice against Catholics and pave the way for the life and ministry of this vigorous and unique archdiocese.

Breaking Bread Homeless Ministries News From The Streets… “Bless Those Who Curse You” Luke 6:28

By Mary Martha Primerano When we hit the streets we come with the (soul) message that God loves you! He would do anything for you! Think and ponder this for a moment. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him would not die but have eternal life.” For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son! – Not 1 of his son’s, but his only Son. How do we, Breaking Bread Homeless Ministries communicate this to a dying world? By stooping down to the forgotten, alone, and yes even the ornery. To remind them that it’s going to be alright. God is not mad at you, but madly in love with you! Like Di-ane who sleeps outside a downtown bookstore, (the owner’s of the store love her, and allow her to stay.) One Saturday the Team felt led to minister forgiveness to Diane, and her three friends between the ages of 50 and 70. We spoke to them about how important it is for us to forgive, and not only that, but bless those who curse you according to Luke 6:28. Well that’s when things began to get interesting! Diane shared how she does believe in everything we said, but there is this 1 woman who she finds hard to forgive because this woman falsely accused her of something that would eventual-ly land Diane in jail for a long time. “I lost all of those years from my life because of this woman’s false accusation of me! Now I just can’t forgive her for that!” And you know what? Diane is right! We can’t in our own abil-ity that is why the Holy Spirit was sent to help us. He is our Helper. To help us do difficult things like forgive someone. That’s exactly what we did when we asked the Holy Spirit to help Diane forgive, and not only that, but to bless her ac-cuser who was now dying of AIDS. When she was done praying she thanked us for walking her through this, and told the others that we are her church, teaching her to do the right thing. Walt always reminds those we minister to that it’s never good to harbor bitterness in our heart because bitterness is like you drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

REM EDIA L A FALT A

QU E T IEN EN

LOS H ERM ANOS POB R ES

Parte de la bondad de lo bueno es durar.- Enseña la teología

clásica que las nociones trascendentales terminan siendo equiva-

lentes. El ejemplo más fácil de entender es la verdad y la bondad.

Nadie que aspire seriamente ha ser verdadero y honesto en todas

sus cosas dejará de ser al final una persona buena. Y lo contrario:

nadie que quiera ser genuinamente bueno podrá pactar con menti-

ras o trampas. Esto viene a cuento porque la muerte, si lo pensa-

mos bien, es como una intrusa que arruina la bondad de nuestros

sueños. La muerte está siempre ahí, lista para burlarse de lo que

amamos; lista para decirnos con dejo de ironía: "nada vale la pe-

na;" o también: "no te esfuerces; no construyas; concéntrate en

gozar hoy y nada más." Es fácil entender que la muerte es nuestra

enemiga, como es enemiga de Dios. Por eso la primera lectura

explica el origen de la muerte en "la envidia del diablo." En efec-

to, la decisión satánica de no servir a Dios implica apartarse de la

fuente de la vida, es decir, degustar la muerte. El que sigue ese

camino encuentra el mismo sabor. La vida sabe a muerte, lejos de

Dios. Lo otro que sucede es que nuestros actos tienen consecuen-

cias también más allá de ellos mismos. Una Humanidad sin el

pecado original seguramente habría sido una Humanidad llena de

luz, de meditación y de conformidad entre la mente y el cuerpo.

En esa clase de vida lo material estaría subordinado en pacífica

armonía a lo espiritual de modo que aquellos seres tratarían la

vejez y la enfermedad de modos radicalmente distintos. Todo

esto, por supuesto, es especulación y nunca los sabremos con

absoluta certeza. Lo que sí sabemos es que, allí donde sentimos

que la voz de nuestra conciencia hace eco a la voz de Dios, nues-

tra alma se rebela y rechaza la muerte. Una fuerza de vida.- En el evangelio vemos a Jesús restauran-

do la vida, en dos momentos distintos: en una persona enferma,

primero, y en una niña ya difunta, después. Llama la atención que

él se sabe y siente dueño de esa fuerza de vida, y que sabe cuándo

ha "salido" de él, como se nota por la historia de la mujer que

quiso "sacarle" un milagro a escondidas. Es decir: Jesús es pro-

piamente Señor de la vida. No sólo la tiene y la concede, sino que

sabe el don que ofrece y a quién lo da. Este "saber" es importante

porque marca la diferencia entre un depósito de medicinas y un

médico. Del depósito yo podría sacar lo que yo quisiera pero es

sólo el médico quien conoce qué es lo que puede hacerme mayor

bien y en qué dosis. Miremos, por último, la escena cargada de

fuerza y de ternura en la que el Señor Jesús levanta con su mano

y con su voz a la niña muerta. Esa palabra no va hacia un muerto

sino a crear de nuevo la vida. Y esa mano extendida tiene su sen-

tido espiritual también. La Ley de Moisés prohibía tocar cadáve-

res, y quien los tocara quedaba "inmundo" por siete días

(Números 19,11). Pero Jesús no se ensucia al tocar a la niña sino

que la limpia de las sombras de la muerte. Fr. Nelson Medina, O.P
