GET OUT OF THE BUBBLE! BY Kristy Malik
I was at th e p layground with my seven -year old son th e oth er d ay, watching h im p lay and (than k goodn ess) bu rn off
some energy so I could read a few chapters of a book. Sudd en ly, h e came runn in g up to me grinnin g ear to ear .
“Mom my,” he said, “I m ade a n ew fr iend! His name is Evan and he likes Min ecr aft ju st like I do! ” He scamp ered
off to go swing and talk about all th e “ Min ecrafty” th in gs with h is n ew friend. It mad e me smile b ecau se this is so
like him. He’s th e kid wh o will make a n ew friend no matter where we go. He is vuln erab le, h on est, and genu in ely
wants to get to know th e oth er p erson. It ’s a joy to watch.
As I sat on th e b en ch, eager to go back to my book, a thou gh t crossed my mind. Kid s have n o p reconceived n otion s
wh en th ey interact with oth er kid s. They have a simplicity an d a sin cerity in the way th ey approach n ew situation s
and p eople —something that many of u s, my self includ ed, have lost.
We tend to sp end time with peop le who valid ate our beliefs. And it seems that th e longer we are committed
Ch ristian s, the fewer n on -Ch ristian friend s we have. Enjoying a solid faith commu nity of frien d s is e ss e nti a l, but
wh at is th e con sequ en ce of th is in terms of th e n eed for u s to share ou r faith with oth ers? Faith is “cau ght ” more
than “tau ght,” and that requires startin g with th e strong found ation of a relation ship.
Jesu s has chosen to d ep end on Ch ristian s to carry forth His mission of salvation, to b e th e “salt of the ear th ” and
“light o f the wor ld . ” “Through baptism and the Eucharist, he gives us his own divine life; through the teaching of
the Church he fills us with his truth; and he is counting on us not to hoard these treasures, nor let them go to
waste.” We simply cann ot d o th is if we remain comfortable in ou r Christian bub bles. It req uires a degree of vu ln er-
ability an d tru st in th e Lord as we seek to reach out to those around u s and share th e treasure we h ave received .
Th is may req uire a certain level of d iscomfort. In ord er to reach oth ers for Christ, we have to earn th e right to
be heard , an d th at often takes time throu gh bu ildin g relation ship s, listen ing well, and b ein g au th en tic. Being
uncomfortab le for th e sake of an oth er is something that every Ch ristian encou nters sooner or later in th eir faith
journey. As Dorothy Day once said : “An act o f lo ve, a volu ntary takin g on oneself of some of th e p ain of the
wor ld , incr eases the cou rage and lo ve and hop e of all. ”
Th is d oesn ’t (n ecessarily ) mean you n eed to walk up to a stranger at a playground and ask th em about Jesu s . Bu t
you can step out of you r bubb le i n yo ur da il y lif e a s a pa re n t, gr a nd p ar e nt, st u de n t, p rof es s io na l, vo l u nt ee r, or n e ig h bo r.
I encourage you to ask y ourself th ese q uestion s as you con sider h ow Jesus has called you to b e salt and light to
the world : How m uch ti me do I sp end with n on -Chr isti an s?
How man y friend s do I h ave that d o not sh are my faith ?
Wou ld oth ers say I am a good listen er?
Am I th e same p erson with my Ch ristian friend s as with my n on -Christian friend s?
Have I ever felt p romp ted by the Holy Sp irit to sp eak to someone I wou ld n ’t n ormally talk to?
Do I p ray for non -Ch ristian s by name?
Wou ld a comp lete stran ger b e ab le to tell I am a Ch ristian after ob servin g me for a few min utes?
Am I confident en ou gh in my faith to alway s b e read y to give a reason for th e h op e th at is in me?
If th e Holy Spirit tu gs at your h eart after readin g one of th ese, take it to p rayer. Ask Jesu s how He wants you to
brin g oth ers to Him. And rememb er that He will “fu lly supp ly whatever you need , in accord with his glor iou s
rich es in Chr ist Jesu s ” (P h i l ip p i a n s 4 : 1 9 ).

“A Minute in the Church” Teaching A MAN IS NEVER IN WORSE COMPANY
Gus Lloyd’s “One-Minute
Catholic Apologetics” THAN WHEN HE FLIES INTO A RAGE
WOMEN’S ORDINATION AND IS BESIDE HIMSELF.
Why doesn’t the catholic Church ordain women as priests? He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly...
The Church has always recognized and affirmed the digni- Proverbs 14:17a
ty of women as spiritual leaders and teachers. In fact, the
Church recognizes three women as Doctors of the Church: OUR AUGUST CLEANERS ARE
St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Lisieux and
St. Catherine of Siena. And who is more beloved by Christ BECKY & MARILYN STEINBRECHER
and the Church than His mother?
So why no women priests?
At the Last Supper, when Christ instituted the priesthood,
he certainly could have had women there. But he only had Contact Lynn Oman at:
the Twelve, men, to stand in persona Christi and be 906-246-3286 or 906-239-9984
“fathers” to the family of faith.
Pope John Paul II clarified the issue in his 1994 apostolic Don’t forget to visit our
letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis (On Ordination to the
Church Library!
Located in the lower
Priesthood). In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, level next
number 1577, it says, “The Church recognizes herself to
be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For
to our Conference Room!
this reason the ordination of women is not possible.”
The Catechism also says that no one has a right to receive
the Sacrament of Holy Orders. But the magisterium has
the duty to carry on the ministry of Christ in the
manner that he appointed. Sunday, August 15, 2021
