Charlemagne, crowned Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day, 800, had a major interest in shaping the worship life of the church, and began a long period of reform and regulation. We owe many confirmation policies and practices to his rule. A baptized person was required to be confirmed as soon as the bishop's presence made it possible. Priests were expected to do their best in seeing to it that a newly-baptized child received the Eucharist. One twelfth-century ritual insists that if the child is not yet capable of eating or drinking, then the priest might give him or her some of the Precious Blood on a leaf or a finger. Despite the best efforts of the Empire to hold liturgical life together, the rules were not always lived out with great beauty. St. Richard of Chichester of thirteenth-century England, for example, was canonized for his holy life as a bishop. One of the remarkable signs of his sanctity was his willingness to climb down from his horse to confirm "merely baptized" layfolk who crossed his path! This praiseworthy practice points a finger of blame at less zealous bishops, whose casual attitudes revealed a sacrament in need of rescue. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Please also remember in your prayers all of our parishioners who are in the military especially those who are deployed. Saint Charbel Feast July 24 “...a hermit of the Lebanese mountain is inscribed in the number of the blessed, a new eminent member of monastic sanctity is enriching, by his example and his intercession, the entire Christian people. May he make us understand, in a world largely fascinated by wealth and comfort, the paramount value of poverty, penance and asceticism, to liberate the soul in its ascent to God…” ~Pope Paul VI, October 9, 1977 The Goldsboro Office of Catholic Charities is excited to announce that we will now be open five days a week! Our new hours are as follows: Monday 8:30am to 3:00pm, Tuesday through Friday 8:30am to 5:00pm. We will be closed daily for lunch from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time About Liturgy Hospitality Ministers and encountering Chirst: 4 Respect Life Four guides for Hospitality Ministers; First, hospitality ministers must make sure their welcome of the members of the gathering assembly is a welcome of Jesus himself. Members of the assembly are members of the Body of Christ. The focus of the hospitality ministers is, therefore, on Christ himself. Second, hospitality ministers, in their very greeting of those who are gathering, already play an important part in helping the assembly members have a listening attitude toward the God whom they will encounter in the celebration of liturgy. All the warmth and friendliness of the hospitality minister, then, is directed to opening those they greet to encounter God during liturgy. Third, the hospitality members themselves must practice being present to others in their daily living if they are to help assembly members encounter God. Their ministry is essentially a ministry modeling how to encounter others. Fourth, Hospitality ministers must focus on their actions as ministry, always serving the greater good of gathering those who come to liturgy as the one Body of Christ. ~Living Liturgy 2013 Who are our Hospitality Ministers? Here at St. Mary the Ushers who serve at the Masses are also the Hospitality Ministers. We are in need of some Ushers/Hospitality Ministers for Masses on the weekends. If this is a Ministry you feel called to please, call the Parish Office at 919-734-5033 ext. 10 or 26. “All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” (Matthew 25:35). After Hobby Lobby Comes Priests for Life—Why We Are Confident By Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life On Monday, June 30, Priests for Life expressed satisfaction with the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case. Upon further analysis of that decision, we continue to be encouraged by it and by its implications for our own case, which has already been argued in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which could issue its decision any day, potentially setting up another Supreme Court case regarding the HHS mandate. In Hobby Lobby, the Court said that the Obama Administration was wrong in trying to force this– and other similarly situated businesses—to obey the HHS Mandate by providing insurance coverage for “services” that the business found morally objectionable. Why was the Administration wrong? Because outside of the most unusual circumstances, the government can’t stop people from living their lives— and this includes conducting their businesses—according to their religious convictions. Nor can the government be the one to decide whether those religious convictions are reasonable. The Supreme Court made that very clear in the Hobby Lobby decision. What’s happening here is that the Obama Administration wants to expand access to abortion and contraception. It is, in fact, my conviction that Obamacare itself is a bailout of the faltering abortion industry. Now if the Administration thinks this is an important goal, we have news for them: they are going to have to pursue July 20, 2014 it without us. We are not going to lift a finger to help. The case that Priests for Life—and many other religious groups—have brought against the HHS mandate differs from Hobby Lobby in a number of ways, including the fact that the Administration already gives groups like ours an “accommodation,” by which, if we fill out a government form, the Administration claims we do not have to provide the coverage for the objectionable practices. But filling out the form simply initiates a different way for our employees to get the coverage. So, as legal expert O. Carter Snead pointed out in a recent article, while we are saying “No,” the way we have to say it functions as a “Yes.” We are encouraged by the Hobby Lobby case because the Court clearly stated that while this “accommodation” might be a solution for businesses, because having it is less restrictive of their religious freedom than not having it, the Court was not deciding whether the accommodation was the right solution for those who object to it. In other words, Hobby Lobby was not objecting to the accommodation, which they did not have in the first place, but rather to the provision of insurance for the objectionable practices. And the Court said it was not up to them to second-guess the reasonableness of those objections. For us, then our objection to the accommodation falls under the same category of a sincerely held religious belief which—as the Supreme court clearly said—the government cannot force believers to violate. If the government wants to provide citizens with coverage for things we teach are immoral, they can do it themselves. Don’t look for any cooperation, authorization, or facilitation from us. That is the approach that is least restrictive to our religious freedom, and that’s why we are confident as we await the decision in our own case. “Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb. ~Psalms 126 Saint Mary Roman Catholic Church 5 Goldsboro, N. C. Jamaica—a bit of All Right Madison Wildman, Kristina Musses, Brennan Dove, Cameron Dove, Joann Guthrie & McKenna Dove If you read travel brochures about Jamaica you will see words like “All Right”, “Crystal Clear Water” “Long Sandy Beaches”, “Beautiful”, “Memories to last a lifetime”. Well, our TYM Missionaries found all of this but in a very different way then those travelling as tourist. Our girls and their two chaperones, Liz Dove and Corey Vermeulin arrived in Seville in St. Anne’s Bay ready for a week of work and prayer. Every morning started with a prayer service then off to breakfast. After breakfast they congregated and the groups were given their work assignments for the day. They split into their work groups and headed for the vans to arrive at their assigned work area by 8:30am. At noon everyone returned to the Villa for lunch and to get their afternoon work assignment. They worked from 1pm to 5pm then returned to the Villa for dinner and ended each evening with Mass. So what was this work they did? They helped repair homes for some of the people in Seville; cement needed to be mixed and poured for Faith to replace a rotted wood floor in her home and then Yvonne and Rose needed rotted wood replaced and painted in their home. There was a wooden room that had to be torn down and replaced with cinder block but to do this they had to move a truckload of sand from the road to the property, then one bucket at a time the sand, water and rock had to be carried up a stairway of natural rock. For 4 years a community building at Seville Heights has been worked on by various mission teams and while our team was there they worked on forming and filling in the stairway to the building. This was an extensive job involving many groups as the fill had to be moved up the side of a mountain to the steps. This was accomplished by making a “bucket brigade” up the mountain. While three people shoveled rock and dirt into buckets the rest of the group lined the mountain and handed the buckets back and forth dumping the rock and earth into the top of the stairway to build it up to the wooden form. The next step will be cementing the steps and this will be done by other groups who will come work after our team has left Seville. Each team had the opportunity to shop for a family and deliver the groceries to them. It is said that grocery shopping in Jamaica is quite an experience and maybe one of our Missionaries will tell us the story of grocery shopping when they address the Parish at one of the Masses. Our Mission Team from St. Mary had an opportunity to spend a shift at the local infirmary where they built a ramp from the building to a new covered gazebo at the edge of the beach. They found the residence of the infirmary wonderful and very excited to have one on one attention from our group. While at the infirmary they sang, danced, prayed and talked with the residents as well as handing out some much appreciated treats to them. Every where they went the locals were very welcoming, the children all asked for “sweeties” because they don’t get candy often. The children also love to play “futball” and our girls were happy to play with them as often and as long as they could. There was a day of sightseeing and enjoying the long sandy beaches and crystal clear water but it seems that what was most precious to our Mission group were the smiles on the people they helped and came to love and they agree that is where the true beauty of the Island is. It is the friendships they made and the children they played with that will be the “memories” that last through their lifetimes. Check out the Bulletin Board outside the Faith Formation Office for more pictures.

Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Goldsboro, N. C. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Uno de los pasajes bíblicos más bellos tiene que ser el de Isaías 11:6. El profeta proclama la paz mesiánica como una paz en donde animales voraces como el lobo, el leopardo, el león y la osa habitarán tranquilamente con animales mansos como el cordero, el cabrito, el ternero y la vaca "y un niño pequeño los conducirá". Esta es una paz donde la justicia rectifica las desigualdades y pone fin a la violencia. En esta profecía el Cristo es un niño que pastorea el mundo con una eficacia sorprendente. Él hace lo que los gobernantes del mundo pretenden hacer pero nunca logran, pone fin a la guerra, la pobreza y el hambre. Por esta razón hay muchas imágenes del Niño Jesús como el Santo Niño de Atocha, el Niño Jesús de Praga, el Divino Niño de Bogotá y el Niño Jesús en manos de san Antonio, entre otros. Éstas captan el deseo cristiano de que el niño venga a conducirnos hacia la paz mesiánica y a la vez, nos recuerda que hay que ser como niños para entrar en el reino de Dios. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J.

Jesús dice que la presencia activa de Dios en el mundo es a veces tan pequeña como una semilla de mostaza y tan frágil como una pizca de levadura, y sin embargo ambas cosas contienen tal poder que al hacer su función producen crecimiento y expansión. El reto ante nosotros es ser pacientes con los demás tal como lo es Dios y cooperar con Dios para que purifique nuestro propio corazón. La semana pasada Jesús hizo una advertencia acerca de los corazones indolentes; hoy describe un corazón contaminado, el bien penetrado por el mal. Pero el poder de Dios es más fuerte que el poder del mal y de la muerte. Sé paciente y ábrete siempre a las obras de la gracia de Dios. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
