WHAT ABOUT TORTURE?

Did you know that June is Torture Awareness Month?

The Compendium of Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church states unequivocally that torture is never justified under any circumstances.

Torture is a moral issue.

Torture is wrong.

As people of faith, we are called to compassion—to not only care when people are degraded of hurt, but to stand for and with, those who are abused and oppressed. As people of faith we are called to be faithful—to be constant in our defense of each other’s dignity, humanity and honor.

FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME


 

FIRST READING

" ... they shall know that a prophet has been among them ..."
Ezekiel 2:2-5
 

SECOND READING

"... 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness' ...."
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
 

GOSPEL

" ...'A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house.'  ...."
Mark 6:1-6


OBSTACLES

The prophet Ezekiel, Saint Paul, and the Lord Jesus share something in common in today’s scripture readings. They all experience obstacles to their ministry. Ezekiel is summoned to prophesy to the Israelites, who are “[h]ard of face and obstinate of heart” (Ezekiel 2:4). Saint Paul recounts how he has been given a “thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7). The Lord Jesus is unable to perform many signs in his native place. The Gospel tells us that “[he] was amazed at their lack of faith” (Mark 6:6). We, too, sometimes encounter obstacles as we travel along the journey of faith. So often we experience weakness on this journey. Let the words of the Lord to Saint Paul encourage us today: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).


TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION

Last week’s Treasure mentioned the “Nuns of the Battlefield,” religious sisters from several communities who served as nurses in the Civil War. Florence Nightingale had only instituted female nurses a decade before in the Crimean War, so the idea of women tending to wounded soldiers was extraordinary. The medical and sanitary conditions on the battlefields were appalling, and the sisters were nearly all teachers. Few had any medical training beyond what they had learned as youngsters in the family. Anti-Catholic prejudice was so deeply entrenched in America that sisters could not wear their habits in public. These sisters were the first, and people on both the Union and Confederate sides began to marvel at their bravery, efficiency, and respect for Protestant soldiers. More than six hundred sisters from twenty-one communities went to war, serving in wretched conditions. They were tough and single-minded, efficient and fearless.
After the war, sisters could appear in public everywhere in the reunited nation, and often received the praise and gratitude of grateful soldiers and family members on behalf of their sister nurses. An outdoor monument to the “Nuns of the Battlefield” stands in Washington at M Street and Rhode Island Avenue. The inscription reads: “They comforted the dying, nursed the wounded, carried hope to the imprisoned, gave in His name a drink of water to the thirsty .
