Freedom is not only a gift, but also a summons to personal responsibility. Americans know this from experience—almost every town in this country has its monuments honoring those who sacrificed their lives in defense of freedom, both at home and abroad. The preservation of freedom calls for the cultivation of virtue, selfdiscipline, sacrifice for the common good and a sense of responsibility towards the less fortunate. It also demands the courage to engage in civic life and to bring one’s deepest beliefs and values to reasoned public debate. THOMAS JEFFERSON POPE BENEDICT XVI Have a Safe & Happy Independence Day Weekend! ANNUAL BENEDICTINE COMMUNITY MEETINGS • No Daily Masses July 9–10 Every year on July 11, the Church honors St. Benedict with a feast day. With this feast day in mind the Benedictine monks of Saint Vincent Archabbey return home to Latrobe for our annual celebrations and business meetings. It is a time of celebration because we take advantage of this festive date to welcome into our community the “new” monks (Novices). The “Junior Monks” also renew their vows for another year and the monks who have spent 3 years in simple vows make their “final vows” or “solemn profession,” meaning they commit themselves to the monastic way of life and become full voting members of the monastery. We also take care of much of our business during this time, and look at our various apostolates, our numerous parishes, the PSU Ministry, and St. Vincent College & Seminary. It will be a busy time! Therefore, there will be no daily Mass July 9–10 so that we may be in attendance. Thank you for your understanding! SUMMER RETREATS @ ST. VINCENT MORE INFO AND REGISTRATION Men's Retreat • July 17–19 Our contemporary world confuses pleasure with happiness; that money, travel, pleasure, power, and other attractions will make us happy. But no matter how hard we try, such allurements never satisfy us. Jesus teaches us the path to abiding happiness. This retreat will examine Jesus' core teachings through lectures, group discussion, and one-on-one counseling with the retreat master, Fr. Bonaventure Curtis, OSB. Father and Son Retreat • July 24–26 What is the New Evangelization? How can we embrace the New Evangelization in our lives for a deeper personal conversion? How do we touch the lives of others through the New Evangelization? Through prayer, discernment of our particular gifts, and a survey of various methods of the New Evangelization, we can become aware of the ways that we can announce and share the faith we profess.

Matthew in the office if you would like to speak further about our faith. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In the sixteenth century, the Council of Trent, which was otherwise devoted to liturgical uniformity, was very tolerant of age-old marriage customs. The Council singled out "praiseworthy" customs and hoped they would be retained. The Second Vatican Council likewise asked for a careful evaluation of customs, admitting that not everything about wedding practice is "praiseworthy." In our revised liturgy, all of the prayers consistently stress the equality of the partners. Some familiar customs do not match this insight. Often, the groom remains hidden in a sacristy while the bride, accompanied only by her father, enters with her attendants. This is hardly equality, especially if it appears that her father is "giving her away" to her husband. This is a familiar enough scene, but increasingly couples are called to a different practice. Symbols and signs carry and communicate meaning. The challenge for couples today is to match the meaning to the symbol, and for the couple to be authentic in all they do and say on the day of their wedding. Having bride and groom both take part fully and equally in the entrance procession is exactly the kind of "praiseworthy" practice we've been looking for! Idleness is the enemy of the soul. ST. BENEDICT Bread of Life Tues. at 6p EISENHOWER CHAPEL WELCOME TO ALL NEW STUDENTS! We welcome you to the second Summer session here at University Park!

Matthew, or email him at [email protected]. FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST Mark's Gospel account today is built on a double astonishment or amazement: the neighbors and family of Jesus are astonished that he taught in the synagogue with wisdom and worked powerful signs. Jesus, in turn, is amazed that they have no faith in him because they know his origins, not because of any fault with his teaching or ministry. As with many of Mark's passages, we get a rather intimate glimpse here of the human part of Jesus' two-fold nature. To reinforce his point, Mark tells of Jesus' return to his native place, and further points out that he is in the midst of his own family members there. From the very people he expected the most, Jesus received the least. In the day of the Gospel's writing, Mark was attempting to illustrate a lesson to the house of Israel: the God of the covenant expected the greatest faith from the house of Israel, but often received the least. This is a good source for reflection on our part, we who are Jesus' followers today. For the wisdom of Christ to continue and for our lives to be seen as signs of his power, he must expect and be able to find great faith among us. Will he? Can he? Does he? Or is he, once again, amazed by its absence?

The home town folks couldn’t accept the presence of God in Jesus. After all, they had watched him grow up. We can easily make the same mistake if we don’t see God present in the ordinary routines of our family. “The Lord be with You” is a statement of fact. Believe it. Live it.
