By the birth of your Son, Jesus, to the new Eve, Mary, our mother, and her most chaste spouse, Joseph, you radically altered human history. Through this Holy Family you made a path for our salvation. May the upcoming World Meeting of Families with the Holy Father serve to give you glory and bring strength and fortitude to families who are being assaulted by evil from every direction. May the meeting be a source of light and hope to all the world. Amen Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 5, 2015 Ez 2:2-5 God wanted to speak in Old Testament times, he sent prophets. Then he sent his Son. Now he is sending us as his messengers. It’s a safe conclusion that God really wants to speak to his people! His longing to connect with us can’t be contained. Today’s first reading also tells us that our disposition doesn’t change God’s desire to speak to us. He sent Ezekiel to speak his word to a people he knew was hard-hearted. He didn’t tell his prophets to avoid them. He didn’t send them just to the holy, the expectant, and the receptive. We see this also in today’s Gospel reading. Jesus spoke to the people in his hometown, even though many of them rejected him. You can be sure that God will be sending you messages today, so keep your eyes open! Look in the usual places like Mass and your loved ones. Let his word break into your heart. Allow the wave of his desire for you wash away any obstacles. He is sending his word to you. Receive it and let it lift you up! ~~~~ July 4th Independence Day Prayer O God, you willed that the Jewish people be free from slavery by their Egyptian captors. You will that all people should be free to worship you without fear and to celebrate their religious beliefs freely, even if they have not yet found you. Grant that those of us who live in this great nation will thank you daily for our freedom, and work for the freedom of others around the world that do not yet have the freedom to practice their faith openly and proudly. We seek your wisdom where hatred abounds, and ask for humility to offer our good works to others who live in fear and bondage. We ask all this through Christ our Lord, who frees us from sin and death through the wood of the cross.
