Heavenly Father, We could never thank our military men and women enough for their cou-rageous service and sacrifice to our country

and its people. Show us ways in our communities, churches, and families to thank

and love them better. Keep and protect these heroes and their families,

in the powerful name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

OUR RESPO5SIBILITY FOR OTHERS

The Second Vatican Council has called us to envi-

sion the Church as the people of God. As a commu-

nity of believers we are responsible for our brothers

and sisters, their salvation, their journey of faith, their

physical well-being. Many of the documents of Vati-

can II and volumes of work since the mid-1960s give

us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to take care

of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn, the

broken, the infirm.

Because Vatican II is part of our recent history—

indeed many of us were already born—this may strike

us as a new and revolutionary idea. But today’s read-

ings show us the agelessness of the issue of social jus-

tice. Eight hundred years before Christ was born,

Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat the poor. In

Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he encourages all

prayers to be for all people; and finally, the Gospel

urges the wise use of money.
