CHILDREN ’ S FAITH FORMATION
Justice Challenge: July 11th is the feast day of St. Benedict. He founded
an order of monks, and his rules for monastic life are still followed by
religious communities today. Benedict preached moderation over self-
indulgence and asceticism. One of his most famous rules for life was to
“treat all as Christ.” Your challenge this week is to do just that-treat
everyone you see as if he/she were indeed Jesus Christ. Then at the end of
the week stop and reflect. Did doing this change you? Did it change how
you look at certain groups of people or certain individuals? Do you think
you can make this Benedictine practice part of your everyday life?
ADULT FAITH FORMATION
Scripture Study is Sunday at 9:15 am for all baptized, open to all
members of St. Joseph. Topic on July 6th will be Chastity (Our Lady of
Sorrows Room)

"Come to me, all you who labor
and are burdened, and I will give
you rest. Take my yoke upon you
and learn from me, for I am meek
and humble of heart; and you will
find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden light." - Mt 11:28-30
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Come to me, all you who labor
and are burdened, and I will
give you rest." Who wouldn't
appreciate some real rest? Most
of us fall into the category of
those "who labor." We have
our jobs to do, our families to tend to, our
responsibilities to take care of. Often, the tasks seem
endless and our time seems so limited. How can we
justify "rest" with so many things on our to-do lists?
Even recreation can be labor intensive when it
involves planning, preparing, traveling, or hosting.
And our default modes of "resting"--whether it be
watching television, taking a nap, or chatting with a
friend--rarely refresh us for more than a few hours.
But the rest Jesus is describing is different than this.
He isn't talking about an occasional "time-out"
from the duties of life. Jesus is offering us a deeper
kind of relief, a liberation from the exhaustion of
life. This freedom comes when we take his yoke on
our shoulders. Jesus tells us, in essence, to align
ourselves with him--to do our work with him. All of
our duties and responsibilities can be done with
Jesus at our side. He does not promise that our
obligations will magically disappear. The "rest" he
offers is a kind of peace even amidst our daily lives.
The refreshment Jesus brings is the comfort of his
presence as we engage in the everyday tasks that we
are called to do. It is not that there are no longer
burdens to bear; rather, the burden is "light" when
we share it with the Lord. But just how do we share
the load? Perhaps by starting the morning in prayer
asking Jesus to assist us, or by seeking his guidance
in daily decisions, or by
offering our actions to
him. However we do it,
when we come to him as
he asked, he promises,
"you will find rest."

Desafío de Justicia: El 11 de julio es el día de San Benito. Él
fundó una orden de monjes y sus reglas para la vida monástica
son seguidas aún hoy en día, por comunidades religiosas. San
Benito predicó moderación en lugar de excesos y ascetismo.
Una de sus más famosas reglas de vida fue la de “tratar a todos
como a Cristo”. Tu desafío de esta semana es hacer precisamen-
te eso—tratar a todas las personas que veas como si fueran Je-
sucristo mismo. Luego, al final de la semana, detente y reflexio-
na en lo siguiente: ¿El hacer este desafío durante la semana te
cambió? ¿Cambió el cómo ves a cierto grupo de personas y a
ciertos individuos? ¿Crees que puedes hacer de esta práctica de
San Benito parte de tu vida?
