r9:r6b, :g-z:- I Gal 5:r, r3-r8 / Lk 9:5r-62

When our eight-month-old daughter began to crawl, it quickly became evident that we needed to teach her the meaning of the word no. She was drawn to all the things she shouldn't touch-computers, electrical outlets, hot liquids. However, in response to our.firm "No!," she smiled and giggled.

Not exactly what we were hoping for. lt took a while for her to learn the meaning of no and that she had some restrictions on her newfound freedom.

I recalled my daughter's amused reaction to "No./"when I read Saint Paul's warning against "biting and devouring one another" in his letter to the Galatians. He was speaking of unethical behavior among the Galatian community-gossip, backbiting, cheating. Clearly, God had said no to these behaviors long ago, but the Galatians continued to exhibit them-kind of like laughing in God's face.

Saint Paul reminds them that in Christ they do have freedom, but it's not unbridled. This freedom comes with responsibilities-a commitment to love and serve one another rather than treat each other immorally and unethically.

This week we celebrate our country's gift of freedom.

But the freedom we enjoy through Jesus is deeper' lt's freedom from sin and death, and it isn't restriction free.

It comes with the responsibility to work for the good of others with love.

It's a full-time, wholehearted commitment, as Jesus notes in today's Gospel.

It's less about hearing notrom the Lord and more about sayingyesto what God asks of us-in gratitude for such a great gift. la nel Esker su n daybu lleti n @ li gu ori. org

Tlne Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the existence of angels is "a truth of faith" known in both Scripture and Tradition (328). Here is an ancient

definition:

An

angel

ir,,,i

is a mighty, concentrated

m :.a:

personality standing in God's presence, ready to do his bidding instantly.

Jesus famously speaks of what we take to be the guardian angels of children. He says the angels of these children always look on the face of God (see Matthew 18:10). Angels took care of Jesus (see Matthew 4:2).

The Church understands angels to be spirits. Angel means "messenger," and angels are servants of God. Different classes of angels are mentioned in the Bible (for example, Ephesians 1:21 and 3:10, Colossians 1:16, Revelation 11:16). We speak of Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel as archtngels, because the jobs God gave them to do were so important.

The Church holds that Satan is a fallen angel (CCC 391). Jesus tells us Satan "'was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him" (John B:44).
