Many thanks to the teachers and helpers who made our Va-cation Bible School such a suc-cess. More than 50 children learned more about their faith

while riding on the ʺVatican Express.ʺ We are al-ready looking forward to expanding the program next year so watch this space for coming announce-ments.

Pope Francis has just issued his first encyclical, entitled The Light o f Faith (in Latin, Lumen Fidei) to mark the Year of Faith called by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, which concludes at the end of the liturgical year on the Solemnity of Christ the King, November 24, 2013.

Francis says this encyclical is the work of “four hands,” meaning that Benedict composed the first draft the encyclical before his resignation from the papacy, which Francis then worked into a final draft. Thus, per-haps for the first time in Church history, we have a papal letter that is the work of two popes.

You can find the electronic form of the new encyclical on the Vatican website. Very soon, it will be available in print.

The next few weeks I thought I would share with you some of the content of the encyclical, to help us reflect on the nature of the great gift of faith by which human beings come to be saved.

In the introduction to the encyclical, Francis recognizes that many people today dismiss faith as a relic of the pre-scientific past, when people went to faith for answers about life rather than to the truths of science.

Yet, science cannot provide a comprehensive answer to the meaning of life. It can present the facts of life, but not their ultimate significance. Faith can, because it has its origin in God, who alone comprehends all of life and gives it meaning.

Here we have the clue to the title of the encyclical, The Light o f Faith . Faith is a light that illumines the meaning of life, revealing its purpose and showing humankind how to attain eternal life.

“Faith is born from an encounter with the living God who calls us and reveals his love.” This is an im-portant statement. Faith is a light that comes from God, which God shines into the heart of a person, ena-bling him to perceive that he is loved absolutely and unconditionally in and through the Person of Christ.

Faith reveals love’s purpose—to draw one out of isolation into the “breadth of communion” with God; to draw all people into the fullness of love, which is God. For God is love.

Faith is a “supernatural infused virtue.” This is another important statement, for it reveals the nature of faith.

To say that faith is supernatural means that it comes from beyond creation; it is from the Creator, God. To say that it is infused means that it is not acquired through human effort, but enters and takes root in the heart of man through the activity of God. To say that it is a virtue means that it gives strength for living since it communicates God’s love to the soul.

The light that comes from God to enlighten the human heart is the Eternal Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the light of the world sent by the Father to draw all people to God through the preaching of his gos-pel. When this light is welcomed, “the Holy Spirit transforms us, lights up our way to the future and ena-bles us joyfully to advance along that way on wings of hope.”

Thus, the light of faith comes from God the Father through his Son, the Word made flesh, in the transform-ing power of the Holy Spirit: God the Blessed Trinity illumining us so that we might advance toward full communion with him in the eternity of heaven.

Yours in Christ,

Father Walter

FROM THE PASTOR’S ARCHIVE (This article from Father Tappe first appeared in the July 13, 2013 bulletin.

“We also know in faith that Jesus seeks us out. He wants to heal our wounds, to soothe our feet which hurt from trav-elling alone, to wash each of us clean of the dust from our journey. He doesn’t ask us where we have been, he doesn’t question us what about we have done. Rather, he tells us: ‘Unless I wash your feet, you have no share with me’ (Jn 13:8). Unless I wash your feet, I will not be able to give you the life which the Father always dreamed of, the life for which he created you. … Life means ‘getting our feet dirty’ from the dust-filled roads of life and history. All of us need to be cleansed, to be washed. All of us. Myself, first and fore-most. All of us are being sought out by the Teacher, who wants to help us resume our journey. The Lord goes in search of us; to all of us he stretch-es out a helping hand.” (Pope Francis to detainees at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia) Reflect on the ways God is trying to wash your feet and offer you mercy at mercy.adw.org.

Jubilee Year of Mercy July 10, 2016 Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Could anyone object to Jesus’ supreme lesson in mercy, the parable of the Good Samaritan? Jesus’ devoutly religious audience certainly did! Scant sympathy for anyone foolish enough to travel crime-ridden “Jericho Highway” alone. Much sympathy for priest and Levite, hurrying to assigned temple ministry, unwilling to risk ritual impurity through hands-on mercy. No sympathy for Jesus’ scandalous hero. Samaritans were religious apostates and political enemies. Jesus challenges them—and us—to seek God’s presence not only in liturgical beauty but in a fellow traveler’s self-inflicted mis-fortunes. See God’s presence even in someone outside the law, whose hands-on mercy springs not from religious obligation but from the heart’s instinctive goodness. Since Jesus became our “Good Samaritan” despite our foolishness and sins, who are we to ration our mercy? “Who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29). The next person we see who needs hands-on mercy! No conditions, no limits, no excep-tions. Especially in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Jesus commands, “Go

and do likewise” (10:37). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

From the School of Religion: Who are catechists? They are people who keep the memory of God alive...by being mindful of God in their own lives and able to awaken the memory of God in the hearts of others. Let us ask the Lord that we may all be men and women who keep the memory of God alive in ourselves, and are able to awaken it in the hearts of others. Amen. --Pope Francis We continue to offer opportunities for serving as a catechist, assistant, or substitute in our Parish School of Religion. This year, our classes will meet in the school on most Sundays be-tween September 18th and April 30th from 10:30am-12:30pm. Our faith is like love, the more you give it away, the more you have. Being a catechist is a great way to share/give away the faith! Contact the School of Religion at shreligioused4@gmail.com for more information.
