WORD OF LIFE “Religion [cannot] be relegated to the inner sanctum of personal life, without influence on societal and national life.”—Pope Francis, Evangelii gaudium, 183. © 2013 Libreria Editrice Vaticana.

THE NATIVITY OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST

Tiny fingers and toes. A little yawn. A loud cry. An infant wrapped in swaddling clothes. "What will this child be?" It is a question every parent asks time and time again. As first steps are taken, as personalities emerge, as a child shows interest in reading or drawing or climbing, the question is on our lips. "What will this child be?" This question is asked as John the Baptist is born. Will he be a priest like his father? Does his strange, unexpected name signal a departure from that inheritance? Could Elizabeth and Zechariah ever have predicted what would be?

Under the tutelage of his priestly father, John "became strong in spirit." As an adult, John would retreat into the desert to preach repentance. He would attract a large following and eventually attract the attention of the rulers of the day. He would point out the adulterous ways of King Herod and would find himself in prison. Eventually, he would be beheaded. But today, he is a child, an infant newly born. On this special feast, we're reminded of the great humility required of parents. The character formation, the discipline and encouragement, the violin lessons and soccer practices? Every parental effort is subjected to the decisions of the child themself. Even children on a sure track by high school graduation transform under life's circumstances. Entrusting our children to God can be incredibly intimidating. "What will this child be," especially when that transformation lies outside of my control? John the Baptist's story might not have ended as his parents imagined. But he is celebrated as the greatest of the prophets, as the one who prepared the way for the Messiah. Here is the hope of all Christian parents -- that our children would be raised in such a way that when people meet them, they meet Jesus Christ.

PROTECTING GOD'S CHILDREN

The Diocese of Joliet has a vigorous program to train those who work with our children called Protecting God's Children. The safety and protection of children against any form of abuse is of the highest priority for us. All coaches, volunteers, and employees who work with the children of St. Jude Parish are required to attend a Protecting God's Children Seminar and submit to a background check. Compliance prior to participating is mandatory per the Diocese of Joliet. If you plan to be a volunteer during the school year or would like more information, please contact Sue Serra at richsue73@sbcglobal.net, Subject: St. Jude or (815)514-

0375, or contact Jack Roche at jr4bscd@yahoo.com, Subject: St. Jude or (815)609-5858.

Child & Youth Protection — Reporting Sexual Abuse

Anyone with reason to believe that a child has been abused or is being abused should report their suspicions to civil authorities. Contact: Illinois Department of Children and Family Services at 1-800-25ABUSE (1-800-

252-2873) or the local police.

SERVING OTHERS IN GOD'S LOVE

Catholics across the United States are encouraged to pray and act in support of religious liberty at home and abroad during Serving Others in God's Love: Religious Freedom Week 2018,

which begins on June 22, the Feast of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher, and ends on June 29, the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. The chairman of the USCCB's Committee for Religious Liberty, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, states: "Religious freedom allows the space for people of faith to serve others in God's love in ministries like education, adoption and foster care, health care, and migration and refugee services. We encourage people of faith to reflect on the importance of religious freedom so that we might have the space to carry out our mission of service and mercy, and we invite everyone to pray for our brothers and sisters who face intense persecution in other parts of the world."

Resources for Religious Freedom Week and other religious liberty resources can be found at www.usccb.orgReligiousFreedomWeek and www.usccb.org/freedom.
