I’m the American Flag by James Burns
I’ve been to the moon. I’ve been burned. But more often I am honored. I’m your American flag. With 13 stars for colonies clamoring for freedom, I was first flown at Fort Stanwix in New York in 1777—and then carried into battle for the first time at Brandywine in Pennsylvania. By war’s end, I was saluted as the emblem of a sovereign nation, new and free. I’m your American flag. But challenges lay ahead. With 15 stars and 15 stripes, I survived shock and shell at Fort McHenry in Baltimore in 1814. With the aid of rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air, I was spied from afar at dawn’s early light by a patriot poet. I was then celebrated in sight and song by a fledgling nation. I’m your American flag. A half century later and with 33 stars and 13 stripes, I was saddened to see our nation divided. Our brothers’ blood was spilled in battles north and south. But by war’s end, President Abraham Lincoln’s iconic words at Gettysburg prevailed—a unique nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. But that pledge was yet to be fully fulfilled. I survived mustard gas and ghastly death in European trenches in World War I and 48 stars strong, was blessed by six soldiers on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima in WWII. I’m proud to be your American flag. I was carried into battle over frozen turf in Korea, waved more proudly on flagpoles here at home with civil rights and women’s rights rising, and was saluted by a little boy as the horse-drawn caisson with his father’s casket passed on the streets of our nation’s capital. It was the best of times and the worst of times, but through it all, I was your American flag. I lost sons and daughters in the rice paddies and hellish jungles of Vietnam, saw some succumb to Agent Orange, and witnessed renewed conflict about taking me, your American flag, to faraway lands like Iraq and Afghanistan. When and where warfare should be waged is an issue still troubling us today. When our nation celebrated its bicentennial in 1976—200 years after declaring our independence—I was there. When people parade on the Fourth of July and other occasions, I generally lead the parade. As I pass by, children along the route often stand at attention and proudly salute me while their parents or grandmothers behind them might have a tear rolling down their cheek in memory of a loved one who served in uniform and didn’t come back home. Often I’m inconspicuous, standing silently in the corner of a meeting hall or classroom—though far fewer of them nowadays. Indeed, I’ve fallen in favor for some incensed actions our government takes. But I suffer in silence when abused or defiled, for I represent all of our rights, including protesting and speaking our minds. Though I spend most of my time here at home, I represent us around the globe at various foreign outposts, including military bases, embassies and consulates. And those row upon row of white crosses above the cliffs of Normandy and elsewhere where we left our honored dead are often decorated with my colors of red, white and blue. I’m your American flag. But most of all, I represent the American spirit, the indomitable demand and yearning for freedom, excellence and opportunity. I am not the flag of a ruling regime and royal family. I’m the American flag, representing the rights emanating from a higher and transcendent au-thority honored on our coinage. Look up to see me as you salute or stand at attention. Pledge yourself to fulfill lofty goals symbolized by my heavenly sky-blue field of 50 stars. With red for valor and zeal and white for hope and purity, look up and salute with pride what the patriot poet hailed as a worthy star-spangled banner. May it forever wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I’m the American Flag James Burns grew up in Anderson Township, not far from Coney Island. He keeps his feet on the ground but both his father and sister were pilots; his father soloed back in 1928 (had to judge airspeed in landing by the pitch of the air rushing over the struts between the two wings) and his sister still flies her own Cessna and she is 85. She used to fly patients to the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, even to The Johns Hopkins Hospital as part of the Wings of Mercy program.

Scripture for This Week—The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)
by Deacon Max Schellman
Scriptures for this week, June 13/14 and next week, June 20/21
First Reading—Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a: In this passage, Moses challenges the Israelites to depend on God’s Word for true nourishment. He reminds them that manna, which God provided for them to eat, was only a temporary fix to their hunger. He recounts for them their journey through the desert and how they were challenged to depend on God. Second Reading—1 Corinthians 10:16-17: In this passage, St. Paul addresses the communal meal of the Corinthians. He explains that the Eucharistic meal is a time for the community to share as we are all one in the Body of Christ. All are nourished by the Eucharist. Paul again stresses unity saying, “…we, though many, are one body, for we partake of one loaf.” Gospel—John 6:51-58: In this passage from John’s Gospel, Jesus explains the promise of the Eucharist. For those who partake in the mystery of the Eucharist, there is an eternal relationship with God. As we move through life, the “true food” and “true drink” continue to feed us. Jesus uses beautiful imagery describing himself as “the bread that came down from heaven.” He closes contrasting his food with manna by reminding the Jews that manna provided to their ancestors was only a temporary nourishment. This Sunday, we pray in
thanksgiving for the ongoing nourishment and strength provided to us through the Eucharist.
Scripture for Next Week—Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
by Deacon Max Schellman
First Reading—Jeremiah 20:10-13: The people do not like Jeremiah’s message from God. He feels their rejection and suspicions. Jeremiah is confident that the Lord is with him and prays for vengeance on those who reject his message. This passage shows Jeremiah’s strong confidence in God in the face of opposition. Second Reading— Romans 5:12-15: St. Paul reflects on sin and death brought about by Adam. He then envisions the grace and power given to the world by Jesus Christ’s gift of salvation for all. With the coming of Christ, sin no longer prevails but the prospect of eternal life reigns. Gospel—Matthew 10:26-33: Jesus repeats three times in this passage that the Twelve should not be afraid. He tells them to proclaim the Good News openly. They are reassured that the Father knows them and values them. Jesus concludes by saying that the heavenly Father cherishes those who believe Jesus and rejects those who don’t. We can reflect upon those times in our lives when we may be reluctant or afraid to proclaim the Good News by word or example.

Dear Friends, With grateful hearts, we at McCreary Christian Center in Whitley City acknowledge your donation of $2,700. We are blessed beyond measure with friends like you. Your donation was deposited into our Food Pantry account. Our food pantry has been very busy during the pandemic. We are seeing new clients that haven’t needed to come for food previously. We are grateful to have been able to have helped our community during this crisis. We hope and pray that things will be back to at least a new normal soon. We have missed seeing Tom Kilgore and his crew and missed getting to see Ellen and Charlie Wolfenberger this spring. Thanks again for all you do for our community. May God bless each of you. Sincerely, Sue Singleton, Director The McCreary Christian Center, Inc.

First Eucharist (First Communion) First Eucharist (First Communion) is celebrated on two occasions in early spring. Parents are invited to call Nancy Dallas (513-489-8815 ext. 761). Children are invited to the Sacrament when they are in the second grade or have reached the age of 7. Children receiving First Eucharist (First Communion) need to be prepared to receive First Reconciliation (Confession). Preparation for First Reconciliation (Confession) begins early fall each year.
Confirmation for Youth Confirmation is celebrated in the spring each year for youth who have not yet received the Sacrament. Confirmation Prepa-ration takes place within the 8th grade Faith Formation curriculum. Classes run September through April for next year’s candidates.

Pastoral Care of the Sick Anointing of the Sick The Anointing of the Sick can be offered when someone is seriously ill, requires surgery, or if the same illness or condition becomes more serious. For those wishing to be anointed, please call the parish office at (513) 489-8815 to schedule a time to be anointed
Ministry to the Dying: Anointing and/or Viaticum If a person is near death, he or she may be anointed. However, if the dying person is able to swallow, it is recommended that they receive the Eucharist as Viaticum. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick ought to be celebrated at the beginning of an illness. Viaticum is to be celebrated when death is close. The Eucharist, given as Viaticum, is food for the passage through death to eternal life. A priest or a deacon may give Viaticum to the dying person. When a priest is unavailable, it is important that the deacon visit the dying to pray with that person and the family and offer Viaticum. Please call the parish office (513-489-8815). After hours, please leave a message about the location of the dying person and your contact phone number. That message will be relayed to a priest or deacon.
Reconciliation (Confessions) Tuesdays from 5:30-6:15 p.m. in the Reconciliation Room in the church. Those attending the Sacrament can enter through the doors to the church, prepare in the church and enter the Reconciliation Room when they see the priest is not occupied with another penitent. Please wear a mask during confession.
Vocations Single men or women interested in answering the call to Priesthood or Religious Life are encouraged to contact the pastor or the Diocesan Vocations Director at 513-421-3131.

Need to Know
Quips and Blessings by Fr. Jack A four-year-old boy told his father: “Dad, I’ve decided to get married.” “Do you have a girl in mind?” the father asked. “Yes,” the boy replied. “Grandma! She said she loves me. I love her, too, and she’s the best cook and storyteller in the whole world!” “That’s nice,” the father replied, “but we have a small problem here. She happens to be my mother. How can you marry my mother?” “Why not?” the boy replied. “You married mine!”
