St. Joseph Parish The Vigil July 7th, 2019 ROONEY TUNES PARISH FINANCES: Most of you know that every parish has a Finance Council. The responsibility of the Council is to make sure the parish is paying its bills and that the ma- terial fabric of the parish is being properly maintained. Every month, the parish busi- ness manager reconciles bank statements and presents them to the Council. There is a certain amount the pastor may authorize to be spent and beyond that amount, he must have the approval of the Finance Council. The chairperson of the Council, with the pas- tor, must sign off on the parish’s yearly budget. The above is simply a taste of what the Council is responsible for. To each of those members I owe a deep sense of gra- tude. I would take this opportunity to public- ly thank them for their invaluable assistance to me. Needless to say, there would be no need for a Finance Council if it wasn’t for the material support you give to the parish! Without your generosity we just wouldn’t be able to pay the ulity bill or any of the other bill that come in the mail. For your generosi- ty I thank you most sincerely. Last May at a meeng of the Finance Council, it was me who proposed that we set a target of $500,000. Some of the members thought I was out of my mind (maybe you thought the same!). My idea is to pay our share of the Catholic Services Appeal; put something to- wards our debt reducon plan, spruce up the church for our 175 th anniversary and to put something in savings. Well it seems that my enthusiasm got the beer of me. Sll, the year is not over it! If you haven’t contrib- uted to the campaign, maybe you’ll give it some more thought and help make these things possible. How much should you give? That’s between you and whoever you share a bank account with. In the meanme, I thank all those who have given. To those who cannot afford to give, please pray for the parish. PARISH COUNCIL: A few weeks back, I wrote about the role of the parish council. I men- oned that come September I would be ask- ing for people to serve on the council. Have you given it any thought? The role of the council has changed somewhat in relaon to the finance council. So the new members, along with myself, would need some orien- taon. To that end, we would have someone come from the Archdiocese to help in the formaon of the council. Please give some thought to serving. Remember, if you are going to nominate a person – ask them first! RECONCILIATION: Is the name of a book wrien by the South Indian Anglican theolo- gian Muthuraj Swamy. I was struck by his observaon: “Not my will but yours” is the most powerful statement in the history of Chrisanity. Jesus’ enre life and ministry can be summarized in this one phrase. Here is the atude that makes others central in our life. If the focus on the other vanishes, Chrisanity loses its relevance and so the Chrisan ministry of reconciliaon. I oſten think that, to understand the decline of Chrisanity today, we need do no more than focus on when, where and how we have lost the centrality of the “other” in relaon to ourselves.

PARISH FINANCES: Most of you know that every parish has a Finance Council. The responsibility of the Council is to make sure the parish is paying its bills and that the ma-terial fabric of the parish is being properly maintained. Every month, the parish busi-ness manager reconciles bank statements and presents them to the Council. There is a certain amount the pastor may authorize to be spent and beyond that amount, he must have the approval of the Finance Council. The chairperson of the Council, with the pas-tor, must sign off on the parish’s yearly budget. The above is simply a taste of what the Council is responsible for. To each of those members I owe a deep sense of grati-tude. I would take this opportunity to public-ly thank them for their invaluable assistance to me. Needless to say, there would be no need for a Finance Council if it wasn’t for the material support you give to the parish! Without your generosity we just wouldn’t be able to pay the utility bill or any of the other bill that come in the mail. For your generosi-ty I thank you most sincerely. Last May at a meeting of the Finance Council, it was me who proposed that we set a target of $500,000. Some of the members thought I was out of my mind (maybe you thought the same!). My idea is to pay our share of the Catholic Services Appeal; put something to-wards our debt reduction plan, spruce up the church for our 175th anniversary and to put something in savings. Well it seems that my enthusiasm got the better of me. Still, the year is not over it! If you haven’t contrib-uted to the campaign, maybe you’ll give it some more thought and help make these

things possible. How much should you give? That’s between you and whoever you share a bank account with. In the meantime, I thank all those who have given.

ST. JOSEPH CATHOLIC CHURCH PAGE 4 TRENTON, MICHIGAN

In the past eight years, the HBO tel-evision series Game of Thrones has had a tremendous cultural impact. Its sweeping influence has spilled over beyond pop-culture. Even peo-ple who have never watched the show know about the ominous warning that “Winter is Coming!” and in everything from movies to mainstream news programs the trivia from this television series pops up. Well, “Winter has Come and Winter has Gone!” both literally and figuratively. The television se-ries has ended, but what from the cultural impact will remain with us in our collective awareness and ex-perience? The series was best known for the remorseless and unexpected death it delivered to many main charac-ters in the story. The very phrase, Game of Thrones, became synony-mous with brutally clawing your way to the top by the most decep-tive and underhanded means possi-ble. The show was also known for disturbing and explicit scenes, as well as, for some of the most expen-sive production values in television industry history. This magical fanta-sy world, with zombies and dragons, was brought powerfully to life (in both the books and the tv series) by an air of historical reality which was breathed into the lives of royal fam-ilies engaged in a deadly con-flict. That is the stuff which pro-pelled this show to such heights of popularity and elevated ratings.

Yet beyond all that, there was a recurring theme about the plight and sometimes the success of the little people. This story recog-nized the value of all persons, espe-cially the marginalized, those dis-criminated against and oppressed. Again and again it was the helpless

orphaned girl or the crippled boy who rose up and succeeded where the mighty and privileged failed. The simple minded servant, the uneducated laborer, and the worthless criminal became true he-roes. The character who was des-pised from birth for being born different, the one discriminated against because his parents were not married, and the other one a victim of human trafficking, all gained important places of influ-ence and status because they rose up through adversity to achieve amazing things. The concept that lowly or unimportant people could be used, mutilated, and discarded was forcefully challenged. Opposite the “win at any cost” creed (that guided so many of the story threads) was a hopeful and complex treatment of the idea that marginal-ized and excluded persons could also succeed. The suffering and mis-treatment of ordinary people mattered.

This is likewise a value we find in our Christian faith. Again and again Jesus demonstrated to His followers that the child, the leper, the sick woman, and the sinful man were faith-filled people and signifi-cant to God. This belief is at the heart of the Gospel. Jesus reminds us that whatever we do to “the least ones” we do to Him. Jesus an-nounces that all who are weary and heavy burdened should come to Him. Jesus extols the tax collector and the prostitute and the Samari-tan because they belong to a dis-criminated against class of people. Jesus highlights the faith and the struggles of people from His time who were outcast, suspect, deval-ued, foreign, or subject to officially sanctioned discrimination, and in

the Beatitudes He describes their reward.

Now, this is a value that has also shaped the development and the history of our country. Starting from nothing and building a better life is at the core of the American Dream. As we celebrate the Inde-pendence Day of the United States of America it is our duty, in fact our patriotic privilege, to reflect on this essential value. Archbishop Allen Vigneron has publicly prayed that we embrace the noble heritage of our country by receiving the contri-butions that immigrant people (seeking opportunity and safety) want to make to our society. As a nation, we have always rooted for the underdog. As a nation, we have always believed in the dignity and value of struggling people. In the proclamation and poetry of free-dom, the Statue of Liberty says it best… Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned light-ning, and her name Mother of Ex-iles. From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, an-cient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teem-ing shore. Send these, the home-less, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Peace and Blessings,

Scott Anastasia

Prepare the Word

July 7th FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY

TIME Peace to all who enter

A compelling prayer is recommended in the Liturgy of the Hours for Sunday nights: “Lord, we beg you to visit this house and banish from it all the dead-ly power of the enemy. May your holy

angels dwell here to keep us in peace.” Who wouldn’t want their home sweet home, apartment, or

dorm room to share in such a bless-ing? The world is desperate for peace, but it doesn’t start at the international level. Seek peace in your home and in

your heart. Make this prayer your own.

Today's readings: Isaiah 66:10-14c; Galatians 6:14-18;

Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 (102). “Into whatever house you enter, first

say, ‘Peace to this house.’ ”

July 8th Dream on

In the world of Jewish scripture, dreams were sometimes considered

revelations from God. In the New Tes-tament Gospel of Matthew, God

guides the early life of Jesus through the dreams of Saint Joseph and the

Magi. These dreams came to people; they didn’t ask for them. Dreams sometimes still feel that way. Alt-

hough they can take puzzling or even frightening forms, dreams can also

reveal deep truths and remind us that what we consider most important is to some extent invisible to the conscious

mind. Strive to grow, then, in knowledge of both God and yourself.

Today's readings: Genesis 28:10-22a; Matthew 9:18-26

(383). “Jacob . . . . came upon a certain

shrine . . . . and lay down to sleep at that spot. Then he had a dream.”

July 9th

MEMORIAL OF AUGUSTINE ZHAO RONG, PRIEST, AND COMPANIONS,

MARTYRS Patience is indeed a virtue

Patience is held up by the church as one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, an aid to us as we grow in our desire to do good. Patience is also a witness to hope, especially in the midst of suffer-ing. It is this virtue that spoke to Au-

gustine Zhao Rong, one of 120 Chinese martyrs who suffered and died for

their faith. A soldier leading a bishop to his martyrdom in Beijing, Augustine

was so moved by the bishop’s pa-tience that he asked to be baptized.

He gave himself to the Christian faith knowing full well what could happen. Some years later, he too was killed for

his faith. How powerful is the gift of patience! How might we allow this gift

to move us this day? Today's readings:

Genesis 32:23-33; Matthew 9:32-38 (384).

"The harvest is abundant but the la-borers are few.”

July 10th

Service begins at home Perhaps you entertain grand dreams

of how to live out your Christian voca-tion. Foreign missions or cloisters in

the desert appeal to the romantic side of your nature. Why not give your life over to God’s service in a blaze of ex-cellent fervor? On your way to holy perfection, however, it’s always a

good idea to make a stop that’s more accessible and just as worthy: right

where you are. Can you love and serve the people already given to you in

your family, neighborhood, and par-ish? Before you dash off to the save

the world, share a little of that love at home.

Today's readings: Genesis 41:55-57; 42:5-7a, 17-24a;

Matthew 10:1-7 (385). “Do not go into pagan territory . . . .

Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

July 11th

MEMORIAL OF BENEDICT, ABBOT The big reveal

Today’s first reading is a story that has delighted and inspired for genera-

tions: Joseph and the many-colored coat. Catholics see Joseph, the story’s hero, prefiguring Christ. This story of jealousy, betrayal, and redemption

lives on in art, cartoons, books, even a Broadway musical. A favorite is the big reveal when Joseph’s brothers discov-er his true identity. If you pay atten-

tion, you may find big and small “reveals” that God has prepared for you, surprises that form you into a

better disciple.

Today's readings: Genesis 44:18-21, 23b-29; 45:1-5;

Matthew 10:7-15 (386). "I am your brother Joseph, whom you

once sold into Egypt."

July 12th Check your trust fund

Spontaneity and trust are hard to cul-tivate and maintain, and it gets harder as responsibilities grow. We have be-

come accustomed to planning and more planning. Not wanting to be

caught off-guard, we struggle to trust the moment. In the midst of planning

a vacation, for example, you might become bogged down in detail—and

forget that the purpose of the trip was to relax! Imagine your potential if you could only trust more. Tonight at din-ner say a spontaneous prayer, trusting

that God will give you the words. Today's readings:

Genesis 46:1-7, 28-30; Matthew 10:16-23 (387).

“Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great na-

tion.”

July 13th MEMORIAL OF HENRY

A spirited king Emperors on the whole haven’t been the best role models for Christian hu-

mility, but Henry II (972-1024) appears to have been an exception. His first

public act after being named Holy Ro-man Emperor was to pray for humility. When Henry traveled across the em-pire, he stayed in monasteries, which he also helped to found and fund. Up-on arrival, he is said to have spent the

first night of every visit in a prayer vigil. Henry wasn’t perfect—he mixed church and state in ways that caused both to suffer—but his commitment to monastic communities not only strengthened religious life but also served social needs, because the monks would go out into the sur-

rounding villages to tend to the sick and needy. We could do with more

leaders who shared Henry’s priorities! Today's readings:

Genesis 49:29-32; 50:15-26a; Matthew 10:24-33 (388).

“Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
