Also register for our summer program!! Totus Tuus
(totally yours) will be held at St. Pius X the week of
July 12-17 for students entering grades 1-12. This is a
wonderful opportunity to grow in the Catholic faith
through a variety of fun and faith-filled activities.
We are in need of two families to host the Totus Tuus
team. You do not have to have a child in the program in
order to help! This is a wonderful opportunity to interact
with the seminarians and young women who have
dedicated their summer to present this program
throughout the diocese. The team needs two "host
homes," one for the men and one for the women. Housing
of team members takes place from their arrival Saturday
evening, July 11 until their departure the following
Friday afternoon, July 17. Each team will provide their
own transportation to and from the parish. Host families
can take on different shapes and sizes. Families with
children, older adults, etc. are all potential host
families. If you can help, or if you would like more
information, please contact the Religious Education
office at 630-627-1551. All parish children are welcome!!
Lighthouse CD Spotlight
The Hidden Power of Forgiveness
Jeff Cavins unmasks the trap of unforgiveness that prevents so
many from living in the freedom of God's peace and halts
spiritual progress. He explains with clarity how forgiveness
frees not only the one who is forgiven, but the forgiver. The
importance of this is shown in Christ's words, "As you forgive
others, so I will forgive you" Matt. 6:14. Includes free bonus
segment from Anger and
Forgiveness by Deacon
Dr. Bob McDonald.
CD’s are available in the
Gathering Space for
$3.00 each.

Discovering the Biblical Significance of Mary
by Scott Hahn
Meet Your Mother: An Introduction to Mary

In the Gospel today, Jesus says “Whoever remains in me and I
in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do
nothing.” Indeed, by helping the poor we can “bear much
fruit” and we find that with Jesus we can do everything.
Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will show
that you are indeed the disciple of Jesus as it will bring
your love to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and
dread.

REFLEXION
1. VID VERDADERA
1.1 El vino verdadero sólo viene de la vid verdadera. Y el vino
verdadero es el que trae la alegría verdadera, no la mentirosa, y
trae la fraternidad verdadera, no la fingida, y regala el éxtasis
verdadero, no el que acaba en depresión y resaca.
decía que las palabras son como hojas y que un árbol de sólo
hojas no satisface al agricultor: se necesitan obras, frutos, hechos.
2.2 Pero esta misma segunda lectura trae otro tema que nos
1.2 El vino verdadero es el que andamos buscando en los viñedos edifica: el papel de la conciencia. Por un lado es verdad que la
de la tierra pero que sólo podía venir del viñedo del cielo. Sangre conciencia sirve de señal cuando no nos reprocha, pues "si
de Cielo, amor de Cielo, alegría de Cielo, vida de Cielo. Esa es la nuestra conciencia no nos condena, podemos acercarnos a Dios
con confianza, y lo que le pidamos lo recibiremos de él, porque
ebriedad santa, el gozo sin mancha que nos regala Jesús.
cumplimos sus mandamientos y hacemos lo que le agrada".
1.3 Nosotros estamos unidos a la vid. Recibimos su Sangre, su
propia Sangre, que circula por nosotros y así nos comunica la
vida divina. Podemos hacer cosas como las que hacía Jesús
porque tenemos la vida de Jesús circulando en nuestras venas.
Podemos entonces dar fruto, como los frutos que dio Jesús.
1.4 Nuestro Señor distingue entre los frutos "que permanecen" y
los que no permanecen. Todo lo que no permanece indica en su
fragilidad que está bajo el imperio de la muerte. No importa qué
tan bella sea una flor si sólo va a saludarme un día para luego
hundirse en la nada y dejar una estela de vacío.
2.3 Por otra parte, la condenación que proviene de la conciencia
no puede tomarse como un absoluto, "porque si ella nos condena,
Dios es más grande que nuestra conciencia y conoce todas las
cosas".
2.4 Es, por decir lo menos, extraña esta enseñanza, porque parece
contradecir la doctrina más común, que desconfía de las
aprobaciones del propio parecer y más bien se fía de los
reproches de la propia conciencia.
2.5 Sin embargo, téngase en cuenta que esto que predica el
apóstol tiene un prerrequisito, que "no amemos solamente de
palabra, sino con hechos y de verdad", pues "en esto sabremos
1.5 Distingue también nuestro Señor entre los frutos
que pertenecemos a la verdad y tendremos la conciencia tranquila
"abundantes", propios de quien tiene vida porque le circula la
sangre de la vida, y la esterilidad del que no tiene qué circule en ante Dios". Es decir: aquel que realiza en su vida el mensaje de
amor del Evangelio tiene en esas obras una señal que le permite
su interior. Y ese es el veredicto que muchos padecen: nada les
atenerse a un criterio que es incluso más fuerte que su propia
circula adentro. Su vida no tiene principio interior que anime,
sino que son gobernados en todo desde el exterior, es decir, desde percepción sobre el estado de su alma ante Dios. El alma no debe
fiarse de un juicio al margen de las obras que ve que está
las apetencias que otros manipulan. De esa vida sin vida nos ha
realizando,
pues obrando así estaría tomando el lugar de Dios. Lo
salvado Cristo, Señor de la vida.
que debe pues hacer es obrar el bien y luego dejar todo juicio a
Dios, "que es más grande que nuestra conciencia".
2. NO AMOR DE PALABRAS, SINO DE HECHOS
2.1 "Dar fruto", según enseña el Evangelio, es algo como lo que
pide la segunda lectura de hoy: "no amemos solamente de
palabra, sino con hechos y de verdad". Santa Catalina de Siena
Por Fr. Nelson Medina OP

PLEDGES STILL NEEDED:
$9,774
The CMAA funds the mission and ministries of our diocese. It
also funds services that are of great help to the ministries here
in our parish. Sometimes it is difficult to envision how one
pledge can help an organization the size of our diocese, how it
can make a real difference. But each pledge does make a
difference, because all parishes participate in the campaign, and
the gifts of many enable our diocese to deliver needed
education, ministry, and services. Our combined gifts not only
signify our gratitude to God, they glorify Him by enabling the
work of our diocese.
If you do not have your pledge form, there are blank ones in the
pamphlet holder by the Mary Room.
