Carmel Church ~1~ Greetings to the family of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel A new campaign sweeping through American churches has worshipers wearing orange - either in their Sunday best or on ribbons - to raise attention to the Christians executed at the hands of ISIS. In order to raise awareness of the religious persecution that is occurring around the world I invite you all to participate in this campaign, to educate people and help bring the issue to the forefront of our discussions. People have often asked me about why I do not write about income inequality. The difficulty with focusing on income inequality is that there is too often an underlying assumption that if we can only somehow fix the income inequality problem we will fix society’s problems. The “fix” invariably means some sort of governmental plan of re-distribution of wealth. However, as the social teaching of the Catholic Church reminds us, socialism is a great evil that is essentially a form of enforced robbery by the state. Whether the money is taken by force of arms or force of taxation is beside the point. In addition, simply taking money from rich people and giving it to poor people doesn’t help poor people. It encourages a dependency and entitlement culture which destroys the soul, initiative, dignity and maturity of the poor. The best way to address the problem of income inequality is not government programs, but personal virtue combined with the two essential principles of Catholic social teaching: solidarity and subsidiarity. “Solidarity” means we are in this together and that I am responsible not only for myself, but for my family, my neighbor, my fellow Catholic, and all people. Solidarity means that I take seriously my own responsibility for the poor man lying on my own doorstep. “Subsidiarity” is the principle that problems should be solved and initiatives should be taken at the lowest, local level possible. In other words, “Charity begins at home.” My first responsibility is for my immediate family’s health and welfare. Next I should be involved with my neighbor, my church community, my workplace, my neighborhood, my town, my city and my state. My efforts to change the world begin by changing my world. Top down government or diocesan solutions should only exist to serve, fund and enable local initiatives. The final principle is personal virtue and personal involvement. We are all called to be a friend and servant to our neighbor in need. Easter and Sacramental blessings to all and remember that I love you and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. ~ Fr. Behrend Together in this time and place, we give glory to God. SATURDAY 8:30 am-C May 2 L. & D.

BEARING FRUIT “Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” John’s words come to us on this day when the Gospel passage presents us with the great image of the vine and the branches. Jesus uses the image as a warning to those who have begun to distance themselves from the way of the Lord. One of the ways this happens is when we love God and others “in word or speech” instead of “in deed and truth.” What does it mean for us to “remain in Christ”? In an extension of the metaphor, the Lord gives us an example. If we remain in him, we will bear much fruit. As the branches, we draw strength from Christ who is the vine. This strength enables us to bear fruit—to do the work of true discipleship. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
