Blessed Among Us

The history of crimes (slavery, torture, holy war) committed in the name of Christianity is often excused as an unfortunate reflection of the times. Bartolome de Las Casas, who dedicated his life to exposing the rapacious violence inflicted on Indigenous peoples in the Americas, challenges such excuses. Originally a chaplain in the Spanish conquest of Cuba (while also benefiting as the owner of a plantation), in 1514 he underwent a dramatic conversion. After witnessing the genocidal cruelty imposed on the Natives, he joined the Dominican Order and became a passionate defender of their interests. For more than fifty years he traveled between the New World and the court of Spain, attempting to expose the cruelties of the Conquest.

Though the Conquest was justified with supposedly evangelical motivations, Las Casas believed the actions of the conquistadors revealed that their true religion was the worship of gold. He opposed the notion that the Gospel could be spread through slaughter or compulsion of any kind.

While others claimed the Natives were a lesser race, he affirmed their full humanity and entitlement to human rights. But he went further. Identifying the Natives with the poor in the Gospel sense, he argued that in their sufferings they represented the crucified Christ.

In 1544 Las Casas was named the bishop of Chiapas in southern Mexico, but he eventually resigned and returned to Spain, the better, he hoped, to promote the cause of social justice. He died on July 18, 1566, at the age of 82.

“I leave in the Indies Jesus Christ, our God, scourged and afflicted and beaten and crucified not once, but thousands of times.” –Bartolome de Las Casas

Diocesan Advisory From Bishop Berg

Notice Regarding the Declaration of Schism of the Society o St. Pius X (SSPX)

Following the illicit episcopal consecrations conducted in Econe, Switzerland, without a pontifical mandate and against the direct warnings of the Holy See, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a formal decree declaring the SSPX to be in a state of formal schism. Four bishops were consecrated by the bishops of the SSPX without the concurrence & permission of Pope Leo & so now that society has been declared to be in schism from the Catholic Church. This makes the Sacraments administered by their bishops & priests invalid. As a result, Catholics should not participate in their services, as directed by Pope Leo.

This Friday is First Friday. There will be Adoration, Benediction and recitation of the Rosary after the 7:30 am Mass, all for the intention of more vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Grace Matters More

Follow the rules if they’re good. If they apply. Unless they keep you from following a higher law. Until they’re no longer life-giving. But remember that grace matters more. Following the rules has gotten a lot of people into deep trouble: people who were just following orders, just doing their job, just not questioning.

Following the rules matters when you’re learning to love what the law protects. When you’re learning a skill – painting, piano-playing, tennis, scientific experimentation – rules keep your lines straight and your colors from running. They get the ball to the other side of the net, the sheet music to sound, and the sentence to make sense. They keep the experiment from blowing up – sometimes literally. But just beyond the rules lies a play space where rules can be bent and even broken, the moves restyled, the tools put to new purpose, the intuitive leaps honored. If you go there before you’ve walked the path through the forest of rules, you’re likely to be disappointed or hurt, or, worse, do damage. If you go there disciplined by the rules, your play will be productive and your efforts richly enjoyable.

When the laws of God are, in fact, at issue, more is at stake. “You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the Lord your God,” we read in Leviticus. God’s law is just and righteous, given for guidance in justice and love, gracious enough for David to sing, “Oh, how I love thy law!” So when Jesus breaks the Sabbath, those who love the law are scandalized. They – and we, as we learn to rely more on relationship and less on rules – have to come up against the limits of the law. At the outer edge of those limits stands a person, saying “Follow me. I am the Way.” Once we arrive at that encounter, the journey is less and less about following rules and more and more about the love that is both its motive and its purpose.

Thanks to all who donated so generously to the Ekiti Diocese Mission Appeal.

The Diocese of Pueblo will conduct a 2^nd Collection on Aug. 1 & 2, 2026 for the benefit of the Catholic Foundation. (Envelopes are in the pews.). Just recently the Catholic Foundation awarded grants to 48 parishes, missions, schools and other Catholic organizations in our diocese. These grants are made possible by the generosity of donors like you. Supporting the Catholic Foundation 2^nd Collection supports faith formation and other worship programs in your own back yard. 100% of the funds received from this collection stay within the Diocese. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Next Sunday is Food Bank Sunday. Non-perishable food items as well as monetary donations may be left on the altar.

Praying to Love Beyond Boundaries

During his papacy, Pope Francis often spoke of going to the “peripheries.” By this he meant not only physically traveling to places that had not seen a pope in some time but also reaching out to people who feel excluded by society ( for example, migrants and refugees) or by the Church (for example, transgender people). Pope Francis was also encouraging all of us to love “beyond boundaries.”

What would it mean for us to love beyond boundaries? For one thing, it would mean trying to love people whom we don’t particularly like (or who don’t particularly like us). That’s a kind of “boundary.” That doesn’t mean that you have to like that person or approve of his or her behavior. It does mean that you try, as best you can, to love them.

It also means loving when you are tired or stressed or overwhelmed. This is loving beyond one of your own boundaries. It’s always tempting to be curt, snappish, short-tempered, or even mean when you are at a low ebb. But we always, no matter how tired we are, have the choice to be loving or to be selfish.

Finally, loving beyond our boundaries means loving people who live in places we may never visit – or have heard of. Do you care about the refugee in Sudan, the victim of violence in Myanmar or the war victim in Ukraine? Do you love them? If so, what will you do for them? Loving without boundaries also means putting that love into action. –James Martin, S.J.

Prayer for the chronically ill

Loving God, rock of strength for those who trust in you,
Comforter of those who call on you,
Hear the cry of those who suffer
From constant sickness or weakness,
And embrace them in your loving arms.
As you have united them to the suffering of Christ
In the waters of baptism,
Be their companion on the way of the cross,
Give them peace,
And strengthen them with the vision of your kingdom.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
-Blessings and Prayers for Home and Family

Positive Peace

Scholars in the academic field of peace studies distinguish between “negative peace”, the absence of war and violent conflict, and “positive peace”, the conditions under which active human flourishing occurs. In societies that foster positive peace, people are unencumbered by active violence; have access to fundamental human rights such as healthy food, clean water, shelter, and education; and they also enjoy freedom of cultural and religious expression. Internationally renowned peacebuilder John Paul Lederach said that “peacebuilding requires many levels of intervention, from grassroots to the international.” Religious organization ranging from the local to the global play important roles in this peacebuilding. Pope John XXIII knew this, and consequently authored the encyclical Pacem in Terris in 1963 amid the Cold War. So did Pope Paul VI, who declared January 1, the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, as a World Day of Peace. In other words, peacebuilding demands spiritual intervention, and this is one way we can play a role. Where do you feel called to direct your prayers for peace? -Renee LaReau

Mission Appeal for the Catholic Diocese of Ekiti

The Catholic Diocese of Ekiti is a gift of God and beacon of hope for over three hundred thousand Christians, located in the south-western part of Nigeria. In this socio-political context, many Christians are faced with numerous challenges, but with courage continue to uphold the faith amidst their struggles. The Church that constitutes the Diocese of Ekiti has been committed to evangelization, education, provision of health structures and support for young, poor and vulnerable for many years, and will continue in that light as much as there are resources to carry out such noble tasks.
Your prayers and financial aid will help a lot to consolidate efforts and initiatives in evangelization and catechetical formation for old and young. You will also be helping to
support priestly formation programs and offering support to seminarians. You will help in the building of befitting houses of worship and rectories for poorer communities. Among other things, you will also be helping to provide adequate transportation for Priests and Catechists.
Your help will enhance charitable outreach to the poor, vulnerable and the needy, create opportunities for vocational training and educational formation for the young people, and create financial support for needy families.
Your loving gesture of solidarity through prayers and financial aid will go a long way in supporting the Diocese of effectively carry out the ministry of Christ in the context of communities where people face numerous socio-economic challenges but with strong sense of faith. We deeply appreciate your love and solidarity. God’s blessing always.
-Fr. Emmanuel Alao, Pastor Sangre de Christo, San Luis, CO.

St. Daniel and St. Patrick will have a 2nd collection next weekend for this Mission Appeal of the Diocese of Ekiti.

St. Paul describes the struggle for freedom in our hearts:

“For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. … For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Galatians 5:1,13-14).
The battle for goodness is nonstop in our own hearts — and in the fallen world. We have not only our hearts to contend with, but a world that consistently desires to choose what is less good, less noble, less excellent and less holy. In such a state of affairs, we are called to cooperate with God’s grace, understand our dignity, and fight for the freedom to pursue and thrive in what is true, good and beautiful in our world today. The fight is only optional if we’ve decided to compromise and accept waywardness and tyranny as the rule of the day. –Fr. Jeffery Kirby

For a More Just World

Loving God, move us to love in concrete ways

As we seek a better future for all of your children.

Open our eyes to the values of the social teaching of the Church;

Give us the energy and the courage to reject fatalism.

Grant that we may be guided by Catholic Social Teaching

so we may be a part of creating

The systems and structures of grace

That will allow all human life to flourish.

Nurture hope in our hearts, guide us forward

And give us a sustaining vision

Of a renewed human community

In a renewed Creation.

-Jane Deren, Education for Justice

A Prayer for Peace

Lord, Jesus Christ, who are called the Prince of Peace, who are

Yourself our peace and reconciliation, who so often said, “Peace to you,” grant us peace.

Make all men and women witnesses of truth, justice, and fraternal love. Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace, and defend the great gift of peace.

May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters. May longed for peace blossom forth and reign always over us all. Amen

to bring us the gift of rest and renewal;
And you summon the great North wind to clothe the
Mountain tops in snow and shining splendor.
Send you Holy Spirit over this sacred land we call home,
That the earth may be radiant with your glory through the
Care of your people.
From east to west and north to south, may your blessing
Be upon every living thing you have created.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen

To Have Hope

To have hope
Is to believe that history continues open
To the dream of God and to human creativity.
To have hope is to continue affirming
That it is possible to dream a different world,
Without hunger, without injustice,
Without discrimination.
To have hope is to be a courier of God
And courier of men and women of good will,
Tearing down walls, destroying borders, building bridges.
To have hope is to believe in the revolutionary potential of faith,
Is to leave the door open so that
The Spirit can enter and make all things anew.
To have hope is to believe that life wins over death.
To have hope is to begin again as many times as necessary.
To have hope is to believe that hope is not the last thing that dies.
To have hope is to believe that hope cannot die,
That hope no longer dies.
To have hope is to live.
