Greetings in the name of the Lord:
In a matter of days I will become your new pastor. I thank the Lord for the blessings of this new and exciting opportunity, while at the same time recognizing my unworthiness to carry out such a lofty assignment. St. Antoninus is a great parish with so many beautiful ministries. I remember a very fruitful experience as a seminarian intern from 2004 to 2005. I look forward to getting to know everyone as we walk with each other
on the journey of faith. I do have an important request for the next six months. As we get to know each other, please tell me your name every time we greet each other. I have learned that all of us appreciate when we remember each other’s names. I would like to thank Father Reif, Father Kunkel and the entire parish staff for their assistance during this time of transition. I will not be there for the 4:30PM Mass on July 1 because of a wedding commitment, but I will be there for Masses on Sunday, July 2. Finally, let all of us give thanks and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ for we are all servants of the Lord in His great and glorious kingdom.
Yours in Christ:
Father Ronald Haft

R e a d i n g I : J e r e m i a h 2 0 : 1 0 - 1 3 : Jeremiah is the second of the Major Prophets. The prophet is the
authoritative interpreter of human events, the person commissioned by God to reveal the religious message
that they contain. Jeremiah lived in Judah during the time that the Neo-Babylonian Empire began to
constitute a threat to the Israelites (from 605 BC on) until eventually, Jerusalem fell to the forces of
Nebuchadnezzar (587 BC), and the deportation to Babylon took place. The teachings contained in the book
of Jeremiah stem primarily from the life and personality of the prophet himself: what he did and how he lived
up to his calling in times of religious crisis. Our passage for Mass this weekend is taken from the part of the
book known as the “confessions”, because these passages express Jeremiah’s deepest feelings. In them, he
goes so far as to complain to the Lord, as a son would to his father, about the meagre results of his ministry.
He does not mince words when he describes his inner feelings, his difficulties, and sometimes his
downheartedness. However, Jeremiah’s affection for God is most clearly seen in his “confessions” and, at all
times, his faithfulness to God shines through. Jeremiah has made enemies on every side. When he proclaims
the word of God, no one listens. As he states in verse 10 of our passage, reproach and derision are the
responses he gets from the people. He would like to walk away, yet he cannot, for God is like a burning fire in
his heart. In spite of everything, Jeremiah is sure that God will never forsake him. From what he says in
verses 12-13, we can see that there is an inner tension between his experience of all kinds of sufferings and
the conviction that God will never leave him. Prophets are, after all, human.
R e s p o n s o r i a l P s a l m : P s a l m 6 9 : 8 - 1 0 , 1 4 , 1 7 , 3 3 - 3 5 ( 1 4 c ) : The responsorial psalm for
Mass this weekend is a plea to God for deliverance by a pious person in distress, and in his perception, has no
one to help him. This is the prayer of one who suffers unjustly despite having served God faithfully. In fact,
the injustice seems to have been suffered precisely as a result of standing up zealously for the holiness of God
and His temple. Yet, it is remarkable that a psalm that contains clear feelings of hopelessness also contains
equally emphatic expressions of hope and praise. There is a powerful message for us in this.
R e a d i n g I I : R o m a n s 5 : 1 2 - 1 5 : We might elaborate on this passage as follows: just as sin entered the
world through the action of a single individual man, so righteousness is attained for us by one man: Jesus
Christ. Adam committed a sin by breaking God’s commandment and, as a result, he immediately lost the
holiness and righteousness in which he had been created. Because of this disloyalty, he incurred God’s wrath
and indignation and, as a consequence, death—as God had warned him. By becoming mortal and falling
under the power of Satan, Adam was changed for the worse in both body and soul. From then on, Adam and
his descendants pass on a human nature deprived of supernatural gifts, and men are in a state of enmity with
God, which means that they cannot attain eternal beatitude. The fact of original sin is a truth of faith. Death
is a consequence of original sin, because that sin brought with it the loss of the “preternatural” gift of
immortality. We don’t die because of our individual sins but because of original sin. But, bodily death, from
which man would have been immune had his son sinned, will be overcome when that wholeness which he
lost through his own fault will be given once again to him by the almighty and merciful Savior.

TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
C o n t i n u e d f r o m p r e v i o u s p a g e
G o s p e l : M a t t h e w 1 0 : 2 6 - 3 3 : The Gospel reading for Mass this weekend finds Jesus giving His disciples
instructions before sending them on their first mission. He has already told them that He is sending them out
as sheep among wolves, and that they will endure much persecution. He tells them not to be afraid of calumny
(slander or misrepresentation). Jesus also tells them to speak out clearly. He warns them that they will face
persecution and hardship just as He Himself faced. Their mission will demand courage, perseverance, and
fidelity in the face of suffering, humiliation, and opposition. Three times in this passage, Jesus commands His
disciples to fear not. He tells them to not fear those who can only kill the body. They cannot kill their souls.
The martyrs throughout the ages have obeyed this precept of the Lord in the fullest way, well aware that
eternal life is worth much more than earthly life. Verses 32-33 have an important message for all of us. Jesus
tells the disciples and us that public confession of our faith in Him, no matter what the consequences, is an
indispensable condition for eternal salvation. After the judgment, Jesus will welcome those who have given
testimony of their faith, and condemn those whom fear caused to be ashamed of Him. The Church honors as
confessors those saints who have not undergone physical martyrdom, but whose lives bore witness to the
Catholic faith. Most Christians are called to be confessors of the faith.
R e f l e c t i o n : As we see in all of our readings for Mass this weekend, following Christ is demanding. Yet,
Jesus never asks us to give more than He has already given. He was rejected, reviled, and persecuted. In the
first reading, we got an idea of how weary Jeremiah became of the persecution he experienced, yet he trusted
God. Christ the Lord demands a lot from His followers, but only because He gives us even more. Christ sees
His disciples’ trepidation, and Matthew tells us how He tried to comfort and encourage the Twelve. This group
of disciples are future martyrs and pillars of the Church. Just as He comforted the Twelve, Jesus wants to
comfort us. He wants us to know, and trust, that we do not spend our lives only for the few years of our
earthly existence but especially for the fullness of the life to come. Jesus wants us to trust in Him without
reservation, because we are under the loving and powerful care of the Father. Every hardship that we
encounter is an opportunity to trust in Jesus, and to grow in that trust. In our modern life, there are many
things that can lead to worry and fear. What is required in persevering in spite of the worry and fear is to
always maintain perspective. That perspective includes remembering that our ultimate destiny is eternal life
with the Blessed Trinity. Perhaps we can pray this week that when we experience fear and worry, we will have
the grace to remind ourselves of this antidote for fear and worry: “What is this compared to eternity”. Along
with that prayer we might also pray, “Jesus, I trust in You.”
T R A V E L I N G C H A L I C E Now, more than ever, PLEASE consider taking the Traveling Chalice into your home and pray, either as a family or alone, for the intentions of our Holy Church, for Vocations, Pope Francis, all Church leaders, our country, and for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.

Praying for our First, Most Cherished Liberty
J u n e 2 1 t h r o u g h J u l y 4 , 2 0 1 7
Dear St. Antoninus Parishioners,
The Catholic Bishops of the United States have called all Catholics to a special period of prayer
for religious liberty, a “Fortnight for Freedom,” that will take place from June 21 (the vigil of the
feasts of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher) to July 4, 2017 (Independence Day). It is a call to
intensify our prayers and fasting for a new birth of freedom in our beloved country, especially
at this time when many of our religious freedoms are being attacked.
You are invited to participate in this year’s Fortnight for Freedom in four ways:
1. Pray daily the Prayer for Religious Liberty (see text below).
2. Join in whenever you can to pray the Rosary for our country, which takes place every
evening at 7:30PM in the Chapel.
3. Join us for the 8AM Mass on July 4, 2017.
4. Learn more about Catholic teaching on religious liberty and other topics at
www.usccb.org, www.catholiccincinnati.org, and www.catholic.org.
PRAYER FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Almighty God, Father of all nations,
For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1).
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty,
the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;
By your grace, may we have the courage to defend them for ourselves and
for all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O u r F i r s t , M o s t C h e r i s h e d L i b e r t y A s t a t e m e n t o n R e l i g i o u s L i b e r t y
We are Catholics. We are Americans. We are proud to be both, grateful for the gift of faith, which is ours as
Christian disciples, and grateful for the gift of liberty, which is ours as American citizens. To be Catholic and
American should mean not having to choose one over the other. Our allegiances are distinct, but they need
not be contradictory, and should, instead, be complementary. That is the teaching of our Catholic faith, which
obliges us to work together with fellow citizens for the common good of all who live in this land. That is the
vision of our founding and our Constitution, which guarantees citizens of all religious faiths the right to
contribute to our common life together.
Freedom is not only for Americans, but we think of it as something of our special inheritance, fought for at a
great price, and a heritage to be guarded now. We are stewards of this gift, not only for ourselves but for all
nations and peoples who yearn to be free. Catholics in America have discharged this duty of guarding
freedom admirably for many generations.
Our nation’s founders embraced freedom of religion as an essential condition of a free and democratic
society. James Madison, often called the Father of the Constitution, described conscience as “the most sacred
of all property.” He wrote that “the Religion then of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience
of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate.” George Washington wrote
that “the establishment of Civil and Religious Liberty was the Motive that induced me to the field of battle.”
Thomas Jefferson assured the Ursuline Sisters—who had been serving a mostly non-Catholic population by
running a hospital, an orphanage, and schools in Louisiana since 1727—that the principles of the Constitution
were a “sure guarantee” that their ministry would be free “to govern itself according to its own voluntary
rules, without interference from the civil authority.”
It is, therefore, fitting that when the Bill of Rights was ratified, religious freedom had the distinction of being
the First Amendment. Religious liberty is indeed the first liberty. The First Amendment guarantees that
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
Recently, in a unanimous Supreme Court judgment affirming the importance of that first freedom, the Chief
Justice of the United States explained that religious liberty is not just the first freedom for Americans; rather,
it is the first in the history of democratic freedom, tracing its origins back to the first clauses of the Magna
Carta of 1215.
That is our American heritage, our most cherished freedom. It is the first freedom, because if we are not free
in our conscience and our practice of religion, all other freedoms are fragile. If citizens are not free in their
own consciences, how can they be free in relation to others or to the state? If our obligations and duties to
God are impeded, or even worse, contradicted by the government, then we can no longer claim to be a land
of the free and a beacon of hope for the world.
