Reminder – There will be
a Listening Session today (Sunday) on the child sex abuse crisis in the

10:30 Mass As
citizens of the United States, we approach the celebration of July 4th with
gratitude for the many freedoms we enjoy.
As disciples of Jesus, this occasion brings to mind he important
question, “What connection is there between my citizenship and my
discipleship?” Father
Kenneth Himes, a moral theologian from Washington Theological Union, suggests
there is a very important link between citizenship and discipleship. His talk,
Catholic Political Responsibility in This Time and Place, highlighted six
practices for American Catholics to consider as we reflect on being faithful
disciples and citizens of a democratic nation. 1. Respect
politics. There is a danger today that politics will become denigrated to
the point that only the dishonest will seek political office. But public service offers the chance to do
much good. When we honor those who hold
the public trust, we increase the likelihood that people of integrity will be
attracted to public service. 2. Promote the
common good. Our Catholic tradition draws us beyond
private concerns to the social nature of the human person and our responsibility
for the well being of all. Politics
too, is concerned with the common good. 3. Make
politics responsive. There are a number of ways to make our
system more responsive to the needs of citizens, but Fr. Himes suggests that a
good place to start might be with campaign finance reform to ensure that all
voices are taken into account, and not just those of the rich and powerful. 4. Revive
political discourse. Vaclav Havel, president of the Czech
Republic, reminds us that democracy does not begin with elections but with
conversations. As believers, we need
places where we can engage each other in the interplay of ideas and issues. 5. Vote
responsibly. As citizens, participating in this basic act
of democracy in an informed manner is a right and responsibility and essential
to the preservation of our nation.
Voting gives us an opportunity to support people and policies that provide for human need, safeguard human life
and dignity and are concerned about wise stewardship of all that God has given
us. 6. Connect
citizenship and discipleship. Loving God and neighbor is at the heart of what it
means to be a Christian, and that love can be expressed in a number of
ways. Helping to promote a healthy
democracy where people, especially the weak and vulnerable, are treated with
dignity and respect and assisted in reaching their potential, is certainly a
good start in living out that command. by Alice Hinkel, Pastoral Associate, St.
