GOOD NEWS Jeremiah zo:7-g lRomans rz:r-z I Matthew :.6:zt-27 When my children were school age, my husband and I decided to use TV commercials as teaching moments. "What are they trying to sell-you?" we'd ask. "How are they trying to get you to want it?" Their answers grew as they did. "They want you to think you'll be cool." "They're showing you that rich people have this and hope you want to be like them."
often learned as much as our children did, and I like to think that, as a resulq we were a little less vulnerable to the techniques. A consumer culture like ours depends on making people want more and better than they have. To support it manufacturers must convince us that this cereal is better than that, this present will fill the void we have experienced, or that our true happiness depends on a brand name, location, degree, or career. I
"Do not conform yourselves to this age," Paul tells us. This age tells us we cannot be whole until we've achieved or obtained ceftain things. But Paul reminds us that our goal is not to be formed with (conformation) this age; rather, it lies in changing our form (transformation) with Christ-actually changing our mind and heart so we can know and love God ever more deeply.
What does changing form look like for the Christian? lt looks like loving the enemy, caring for those who have less, gathering at the Eucharistic table, being good stewards of resources and, yes, taking up a cross and following Christeven to death, if necessary There we willfind our joy and ourfreedom.

During the Great Depression, Dorothy's commitment to the poor deepened. In 1932 she met Peter Maurin, with whom she founded the Catholic Worker Movement. In 1933 she created The CathdicWoker newspaper, through which she proclaimed the riglrts of workers to dignity and to fair and honest treatment by industry artd goyernment, landlords, and neighbors. Her prolabor and antiwar beliefs caused her to be labeled a Communist, but she was never amember of the Communist Party. Dorothy's concern for social justice gew---among other things, she worked with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers. She was orthodox and pious and had a deep sense of Catholic morality. She died in 1980. In 2000, Pope John Paul II granted the Archdiocese ofNew York permission to open a cause for Dorothy Day's sainthood. That cause, which is still open, was endorsed in 2012 by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, who called her "a saint for our time." FR. RIC K PO T T S, C SsR sundaybulletin@ liguori.org
