LEAP OF FAITH  By Natalie McClure

Most of us are familiar with the term “to take a leap of faith,” and we often offer it as advice to others, but when it comes to taking that leap ourselves, it’s not always as easy as “1, 2, 3...GO!” When you think about it, why does the phrase contain the word “leap” instead of the word “step?” The action of leaping requires more effort, more energy expended and a sudden transfer of weight that will move you from one location (your past state) to another desired location (your future state). Similar to the hemorrhaging woman who took a risk pushing her way through the crowd to touch Jesus’ garment, God calls us at times to make leaps of faith. There will be points in our faith  journey when He may expect us to take take more than a step, but luckily luckily we don’t have to leap out out into thin air uncertain uncertain of what is ahead. We leap, knowing that we will land into His loving arms. Just recently God has asked my husband Steven and I to take a leap trusting in a new  plan He has for our future. God has has called Steven and I back to our our alma mater, the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana through an amazing job offer for Steven. God’s providence was really at work with this opportunity and so we will make South Bend our new home, come August. For someone who likes to plan ahead and prepare for the future, this is quite a leap,  but I pray that like the woman in in the Gospel, I may keep my eyes on Jesus and and continue to reach out for for Him during this transition. I want to thank the community of St. Patrick for supporting Steven and me through our engagement and life as newlyweds, and for helping me grow personally in my faith and trust in the Lord in ways that have helped me have the courage to take this leap into His arms.

FORMING CONSCIENCES FOR FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP  In light of our call to be faithful faithful citizens, we will explore explore excerpts from “Forming “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship” as an on-going series through October.

This week’s reading: Inserted flyer for “The Challenge of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.” By our baptism, Catholics are committed to following Jesus Christ and to be “salt for the earth, light for the nations.” As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, “It is necessary that all participate, according to his position and role, in promoting the common good. This is inherent in the dignity of the human person...as far as possible citizens should take an active part in public life” (nos. 1913—1915). In Forming In  Forming Consciences Consciences for Faithful Citizenship Citizenship,, the USCCB reminds us that, “Responsible citizenship citizenship is a virtue, and  participation in political political life is a moral moral obligation.” If you you have moved or turned 18 since since the last election, election, you must register register to be eligible to vote in the upcoming primary and general elections. Members of the Social Justice Core Team will be available after Masses on the weekends of July 14/15 and July 21/22 with voter registration materials. Forms will also be available in the Narthex  beginning July 1 through October. October.

While you celebrate America’s independence at a gathering of friends and family this week around the pool or at the park, beach or mountains, please take a moment to think of those families that you have helped to attain their own independence. Many of the families we have built Habitat homes for have been living with relatives where multiple families live in a one or two bedroom apartment or in substandard housing. Your generous contributions of time and funds have given these families a chance to have their own home, where their children may share many safe July 4 celebrations. Your efforts truly make a difference in the lives of many! Thank you all so very much!
