Homily for Sunday, 7/16/2017

Fr. Patrick Hyde, O.P.

Homiletic & Pastoral Review

Jesus is an indefatigable sower. His love for us is so great that this

parable of the sower and the seed is not a simple one of opportu-

nity. It’s not as if Jesus offers us faith once, and we either accept it,

or reject it. On the contrary, Jesus comes to us again and again.

Not only that, but because we are made in the image and likeness

of God, even without the gift of the Holy Spirit, our hearts, minds,

and souls yearn for Him.

Thus, a soul with the gift of the Holy Spirit is never truly happy

until that soul becomes like the fertile soil in today’s Gospel. Even

the most hardened sinner, a person who hates God, is never incapable, never without hope of conversion to the Truth.

As Isaiah tells us, the Word of God never returns void. If our hearts are even the least bit open to God’s Word, in fact,

if we are just simply in the presence of his Word, God sows his seed, and cultivates our hearts.

A great example of this is Blessed Bartolo Longo. Bartolo lived in the 19th century in Italy, and was raised in a

Catholic family. However, as a young man, he adopted a radical form of politics, became an activist, left the Church,

and, eventually, became a satanic priest. He tried to kill the seeds God had planted in his heart. He tried with all of his

might to be “the barren ground.” But after an encounter with a Dominican priest, and his hearing the priest’s teaching,

and starting to say the Rosary, Bartolo heart was gradually softened. Our Lord, being gracious and merciful, kept

sowing seed there. Bartolo kept cultivating his heart. Finally, he was able to return to the Church and, not only that,

he spent the rest of his life teaching and evangelizing.

This is what we are made for: sin and evil make us dry, or fill us with weeds, but we are made to be the rich soil into

which God comes, transforming our lives. The two great Doctors of the Church, St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aqui-

nas, each in their own ways, came to this same conclusion. St. Augustine wrote of his own experience with a restless

heart that only rested when it rested in the Lord. St. Thomas Aquinas acquired knowledge of God (wisdom) which he

felt to be the perfection of the intellect. He said that by our very nature, we desire this knowledge, and seek it out at

all times. (ST I, 12, 8)

Yet, as St. Paul alluded to in today’s second reading, we are often enslaved by sin and suffering. These realities can

cripple us, and leave us with little hope of change or growth. However, if our God truly loves us, even these things

can be overcome. Christ encourages us by saying: “I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing

compared with the glory to be revealed for us.” Sin and death are real, but in comparison to the great things we are

able to do through, with, and in Christ Jesus, they are dross.

It is important to remember, however, we are always free in all of this. Even though it is God who sows, God who

waters, God who causes the growth, we are always freely choosing to walk with the Lord. Unlike a plant that grows

because it must, we grow in grace and freedom; we grow because our cooperation with the seeds of grace make us

better, stronger, freer. This freedom, and this opportunity, come with a cost, a challenge to each of us.

The Fathers of the Second Vatican Council teach us in Gaudium et Spes:

… man’s dignity demands that he act according to a knowing and free choice that is personally motivated and

prompted from within, not under blind internal impulse, nor by mere external pressure. Man achieves such dignity

when, emancipating himself from all captivity to passion, he pursues his goal in a spontaneous choice of what is

good, and procures for himself, through effective and skillful action, and helps to that end. Since man’s freedom has

been damaged by sin, only by the aid of God’s grace can he bring such a relationship with God into full flower.

(Gaudium et Spes, 17)

Therefore, the challenge for us is to cultivate our souls, purify our motives, and change our lives. God has planted,

through our Baptism, his gift within us. Are we willing to do the work necessary in our lives to ensure providing the

best and most hospitable ground for this seed? Farmers agonize over water, soil acidity, herbicides. They do whatever

they can to yield the best, earthly crop. We are challenged today to do the hard work of prayer, penance, pursuing

moral and faithful lives, for a supernatural, eternal yield.

If a satanic priest can change his life to the point the Church declares his life worthy of veneration and emulation, so,

too, can all of us achieve such transformation in Christ.

“We Care” Blankets

As our wonderful group of “Care Blanket” volunteers continue

to meet on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 - 11:30am at Par-

ish Outreach, the gifts of their love, time and talent in crochet-

ing and knitting beautiful blankets for seriously ill children is

nothing less than a beautiful thing!

Since our group began in November 2009, the completed blan-

ket count stands at 2,484. I’m sure in no time at all we will be

adding to this amazing number. Thank you to our lovely group

of ladies for all the good work you do to bring love and comfort

to many children undergoing cancer care.

Outreach is happy to accept donations of yarns, crochet hooks

or knitting needles in support of this effort.

If you are interested in joining our group please

contact Parish Outreach at 516-541-1260.


Paper Goods Drive

On occasion, the people who come to us for food assistance

will ask if we can provide paper products such as toilet pa-

per or paper towels. Food donations, as you know, remain

our first priority! However, it would be a helpful addition to

the folks we serve if we could offer some assistance with

paper goods. If you would consider a donation of toilet pa-

per or paper towels that would be a wonderful thing!

Thank you for all the good that you do!

Ministry of Consolation

Our parish is richly blessed to have gathered a wonderful group of volunteers who make up Our Lady of Lourdes “Ministry of Consolation” team. The most valuable gifts we can give are the gifts that come from the heart. The precious gifts of our time, love and compassion are espe-cially needed during the time of the loss of a loved one.

Created to provide warmth, caring and personal attention to assist families in preparation for the funeral mass, this particular ministry can never have too many helping hands. Whether your interest be that of a Greeter, Lector or EM, please give some thought as to sharing your time and talents and being a part of this ministry’s call to love and care for one another.

Thank you so much to our coordinator, Deacon Frank Gariboldi and all our volunteers for embracing this beau-tiful ministry. Please call Parish Outreach at 516-541-1260 if you would like to volunteer. Thank you for your consideration.

ryone we can make these summer days brighter

for our neighbors in need.

Charlie Gard is an 11-month old child who suffers from a rare genetic disorder, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, which can

cause weakened muscles and organ dysfunction, among other symptoms. He cannot breathe on his own, has seizures, and has suf-

fered brain damage because of the disease. He is on life support at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. The hospital wants to

remove him from life support. His parents have raised over one million dollars and want to transfer him to a hospital in the United

States for experimental treatment for his rare muscle and brain disease. The European Court of Human Rights sided with the London

hospital. He was scheduled to be removed from life support on June 30th. The hospital granted his parents more time to be with him,

and last week the hospital agreed to consider new evidence involving his condition before taking him off the ventilator. A judge was

scheduled to resume hearing the case on July 13th. Lawyers for the hospital previously argued in court that allowing Charlie to con-

tinue living is “inhuman”. Katie Gollop, leader of the hospital’s legal team stated, “There is significant harm if what the parents want

for Charlie comes into effect. The significant harm is a condition of existence which is offering the child no benefit. It is inhuman to

permit that condition to continue.” She said they do not know if Charlie is in pain, but he cannot see, hear, or move.

Charlie’s parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, believe that Charlie is a valuable, living human being who should be given a chance

to live – not because of what he can or can’t do, but because of who he is. Richard Gordon, the parents’ lawyer, stated, “They wish to

exhaust all possible options. They don’t want to look back and think ‘what if?’. This court should not stand in the way of their only

remaining hope.” Connie Yates said that she has heard that there is around a 10% chance of the experimental treatment working for

Charlie. She thinks “that’s a good enough chance to take.” She said she doesn’t want her son to suffer. “He’s our own flesh and

blood and we don’t even have a say in his life whatsoever. We are not bad parents, we are there for him all the time, we are com-

pletely devoted to him and he’s not in pain and suffering, and I promise everyone I would not sit there and watch my son in pain and

suffering. I couldn’t do it.”

Dave Andrusko at National Right to Life News wrote, “Nobody is saying that Charlie will be cured. The parents are confident, based

on input from seven specialists Connie says are supporting them in their fight to try experimental therapy, that they ‘could reduce the

effects of the disease,’ as BBC Health Correspondent Nick Triggle described it. If they take Charlie to the US, his condition does not

improve and he is in pain (which the hospital and judges admit they cannot prove) – Connie said, “we would let him go. This isn’t

about us. This is about Charlie and giving him the chance he needs.””

NY Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia Irving Medical Center have agreed to admit and evaluate Charlie, or if approved by the

FDA, they would arrange shipment of the experimental drug to the London hospital and would advise the London staff on adminis-

tering it. The president of Bambino Gesu hospital, the “Pope’s Hospital”, also offered to have Charlie transferred there. Charlie’s fate

is now in the hands of the judge who will hear the case on July 13th.

Please pray for Charlie and his parents.
