BARNS FILLED WITH RICHES The mortgage is paid off. So are the loans that were taken out for college tuition and childrens weddings. The second home that was once a far-off dream is now so close that it seems safe to dig out the real estate magazines. And then . . . a daughter or son can no longer take care of a child. Its time to start over, this time as grandparents in the parents role. Thousands of older adults face this situation today, becoming temporary or permanent guardians of their grandchildren. Vanity of vanities. The years of toil with sights set on a great reward now belong to someone else: food, clothing, braces, summer camps, and school tuition. But, as one grandmother said of her 13-year-old granddaughter, Megan, It has all been worth it. She brings such joy. What would I do without her? And so the barns filled with riches are again taken down and new and true riches are discovered. Once again a new self is found in Christ, and the storehouse is filled with life that is truly pleasing to God. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO July 30, 2013 On Monday, July 29, in the Chicago Tribune, a group of Catholics published an open letter addressed to me and to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). They accused the Church of turning her back on the poor. This accusation follows a decision by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) to include support for same-sex marriage as part of their political agenda. The CCHD cannot fund groups that support this goal. Donors to the CCHD give to this anti-poverty organization with the understanding that their money will be passed on to organizations that respect the teachings of the Catholic faith. Organizations that apply for funds do so agreeing to this condition. On May 23, the ICIRR board broke faith with its member organizations when it publicly supported so called same-sex marriage. For its own political advantage, it introduced a matter extraneous to its own purpose and betrayed its own members, who were not consulted. The CCHD had no choice but to respect the unilateral decision of the ICIRR board that effectively cut off funding from groups that remain affiliated with ICIRR. Without betraying its donors or the Catholic faith, the Catholic Churchs long-standing work for immigrant groups and for immigration reform remains intact. This record speaks for itself and is well known. It is carried locally by Priests for Justice for Immigrants and by Sisters and Brothers of Immigrants, in collaboration with the Archdiocesan Office for Immigrant Affairs and Immigration Education, led by Elena Segura with my complete support. It is intellectually and morally dishonest to use the witness of the Churchs concern for the poor as an excuse to attack the Churchs teaching on the nature of marriage. Four weeks ago, Pope Francis wrote: marriage should be a stable union of man and womanthis union is born of their love, as a sign and presence of Gods own love, and of the acknowledgement and acceptance of the goodness of sexual differentiation, whereby spouses can become one flesh and are enabled to give birth to a new life. In other words, when it comes to marriage and family life, men and women are not interchangeable. The whole civilized world knows that. Those who signed the open letter in the Tribune proclaimed their adherence to the Catholic faith even as they cynically called upon others to reject the Churchs bishops. The Church is no ones private club; she is the Body of Christ, who tells us he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Because the signers of the letters are Catholic, they know that in a few years, like each of us, they will stand before this same Christ to give an account of their stewardship. Jesus is merciful, but he is not stupid; he knows the difference between right and wrong. Manipulating both immigrants and the Church for political advantage is wrong.

Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. Archbishop of Chicago

BARDZIEJ BY, NI MIE Kto, kto dowiadczy w swoim yciu, co znaczy wyj z wypadku, powinien zrozumie przesanie przypowieci o zamonym czowieku, ktremu obrodzio pole. Mona mie wspaniae plany yciowe, zasobny portfel. Wystarczy jednak chwila nieuwagi, niezapite pasy bezpieczestwa, a wszystko to, co do niedawna miao znaczenie, moe w krtkim czasie by ju bez znaczenia. Jezus poprzez t przypowie, chce nauczy czowieka pokory. Podkrela, e ycie wieczne nie zaley od tego ile si ma, ale od tego, kim si jest. Uchylajc si od wyrokowania w sprawach spadkowych, daje do zrozumienia, e Jego krlestwo nie pochodzi z tego wiata i nie dotyczy spraw materialnych.
