Prayer for the Family:
God, you are the Father of everything in Heaven and on earth; Father, you are love and life; make every human family on earth become, through your son Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, a source of divine charity and a true sanctuary of life and love for the generations to come. May Mary, Mother of the Church and Mother of Carmel, be also the Mother of the "domestic church." With her help may every Christian family truly become a "little church" in which the mystery of the church of Christ is mirrored and given new life. May she, the Handmaiden of the Lord, be for every family an example of humble and generous acceptance of the will of God. May she, the sorrowful Mother at the foot of the cross, comfort the sufferings and dry the tears of families in sorrow, difficulty or distress. May she the Mother of Grace, intercede that the thoughts and deeds of spouses will be directed to the good of their families and all families of the world. Through her, the Mother of Hope, may the younger generations find in the family strong support for their humanity, so that they may grow in truth and love. May all families, strengthened by the grace of the Sacrament of Matrimony and the intercession of the Mother of Carmel, live in the faith and love that will prove to be stronger than any weakness or crisis, economic hardship, separation, sickness or suffering they must endure. And may the family of the Church, supp0orted by the Mother of the church, complete her mission among all nations in the family and through the family. Amen.

Using brain scans an international team of scientists has taken a look inside the brains of patients diagnosed as being in a "vegetative state." These patients, the images clearly showed, were living silently - their minds apparently active. The scans showing brain activity like that in any healthy conscious person. This counteracts the arguments that such patients are "in a vegetative state." and can be starved to death as Terry Schiavo was in 2005.

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Facebook Fans?

Today's readings, especially the second reading and gospel, have a theme of following Christ. But for them following doesn't mean hanging with Him or going to his Facebook page,. It means being like him: St. Paul says we must "look" like Christ and St. Luke says we must "act" like Christ.

The second reading from Galatians says that we have clothed ourselves with Christ. Paul is saying that we must resemble Christ, not physically, like having the same haircut or beard, but in the sense that people can see Christ in us. He says that all followers of Jesus are united in faith, a unity that is more important than the differences in race, gender, or economic condition. So instead of seeing what is different about another person, we concentrate on what unites, namely our faith in Christ. Instead of struggling to be patient with people, or to be kind and generous, or to be respectful - we just see Jesus in them and let his Spirit guide us to respond with love.

The gospel of Luke shows us that acting like Jesus really means taking up his cross daily. I think even Jesus knew this would not be easy to understand, as he also describes it as denying ourselves an says we must lose our life in order to save it. Denying yourself refers to the choices we make to look out for others instead of just ourselves. It may be very personal, like visiting a sick person, instead of staying home to watch TV. Or it could be on a larger scale, when we give to a charity instead of saving for ourselves. It might be simply listening to your wife when she's had a bad day. So then taking up our cross is an attitude of willingness to suffer for others. And losing your life for Jesus' sake means that we do all these things with hope: We may not see immediate results, but Jesus' resurrection showed that suffering and even death leads to new life.

Looking and acting like Jesus are not as easy as they sound. We need to spend time in prayer with the Lord, so his Spirit can renew us and give us the courage to take up our crosses. The more we get to know Jesus, the easier it becomes to resemble him and help others se him in us.
