Fly your FLAG this Thursday, June 14, 2018 in honor of Flag Day.

Today’s first reading presents incidents which are often discussed in religious circles; the way that Adam was caught by God after he sinned. Adam said that he hid himself because he was naked. Why – why was he embarrassed by this nakedness?

This really is not about nudity. God created the body, therefore it is beautiful, not something that Adam had to hide from God. No, this is about being exposed before the Lord. Adam was revealed as proud. He wanted to be like God. Adam was self-centered. His desires were more important than God’s will. He was disobedient. God could not tell him what he could or could not do. Then, at the fall, Adam recognized what he was really like, proud, self-centered and disobedient. He was exposed before God. He was naked. He hid himself. Even during God’s questioning, Adam refused to take the blame for his actions. According to Adam, it was Eve’s fault. Adam even notes that God was responsible for creating Eve. Adam’s nakedness was even further revealed. It is sad, but we can look into the depths of Adam’s nakedness and see our own refusal to submit to God’s will as well as our own rationalization for the things we do wrong.

The scribes in the Gospel were also exposed for whom they were. The scribes were people who used religion for their own ends. They were not spiritual. They accused Jesus’ good works as coming from the devil. Refusing to see the holiness of the Lord is the sin against the Holy Spirt. This is the only sin that can’t be forgiven. God cannot forgive someone who believes that God does not have the power to forgive him. If there was anything spiritual at all about the scribes, they would at least have recognized some form of goodness in Jesus’ works. But there was nothing spiritual about them.

St. Paul paraphrases Psalm 116 in today’s second reading when he says, we believe and so we speak out. This is what Jesus did. That is what Christians must do. Our actions must expose our commitment to the Kingdom of God. We have to speak out in the face of evil. That is the reason why our bishops are not afraid to take which may not be popular, but which are moral. If we don’t stand up for morality, for the truth, then we would not be faithful to whom we are, or at least who we are trying to become.

Like Adam, we all stand naked before the Lord. Do we have to hide ourselves, or do we want the Lord to see us exactly as we are? Today we pray that our spirit and our actions may be exposed as actions of people committed to the Kingdom of God.

Parents, check in begins at 7:45 a.m. on Monday, June 18 in the gym for all registered children IF YOU WISH TO HAVE YOUR CHILD ENJOY BREAKFAST AT 8:15 a.m. Be

prepared for a bit of organized chaos, as we get everyone where they’re supposed to be. It’s just part of the VBS charm and since the breakfast/lunch venue is new this year, well, it might be slightly more chaotic than normal…J We ask for your patience, however, as we muddle through but feeding children is a good thing! Also, be sure your children wear closed toed shoes—no flip-flops—and that we have all Medical and Photography Forms signed and turned in or your children will be unable to participate until we do. That’s for everyone’s safety. We will have forms available on Monday for you to sign….

Volunteers, if you missed VBS Orientation on Saturday, June 9, please contact Deborah to pick up your packet of important information regarding this year’s VBS. You’ll want to be prepared for all the diner zaniness!

General Registration for the 2018/19 Faith Formation/sacramental preparation year has now begun. Fees have also increased. You can pick up registration paperwork during the normal work week, Monday-Thursday between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (NO FRIDAYS, please; it’s our clean-up day!). Contact Deborah for information regarding Children’s Faith Formation or Devyn regarding Youth Ministry and/or Confirmation. Additionally, questions pertaining to First Communion may be directed to Lisa & RCIA/Adult Confirmation to Lindee.

NOTE: WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING nor DISTRIBUTING FAITH FORMATION PAPERWORK DURING THE WEEK OF VBS! It’s just too crazy! However, we will be more than happy to help you once our fine dinin’ is done on Monday, June 25. Also, since most of the Faith Formation staff will be on vacation during the month of July in order to be well rested and mentally prepared for the very active month that is August, you might want to call ahead to be sure someone is in the office to assist you with your registration needs.

Catechists, if you haven’t already let me know of your intent to return...or not return...to help with Children’s Faith Formation next year, it’s time.

And parents, if you’re interested in being a part of our Faith Formation team, give me a call! We are losing some long-time team members this year, so there will be opportunities for you to help us fill these voids. No teaching experience is necessary and if you’re bilingual, even better! Our classrooms are open to all...J...Contact Deborah if you’re interested in being a part of our Children’s Ministry.

Join us at the intersection of faith, food and fun …
