Greetings in the Lord!
Anawim is the Hebrew word for the “poor,” the “remnant,” the “leftovers,” the economically
deprived. Scripture teaches that God has a special concern for the anawim, who are without power and must trust in the Lord alone to be “their portion” (Ps 16:2). It isn’t that riches
should be scorned but that poverty must be solicitously alleviated, for it is Lord who “makes
poor and makes rich, he humbles, and he also exalts.” Christ taught that being poor in
spirit is connected to growing rich in God’s sight because the poor in spirit believe God
alone is their salvation. Thus He consoles the poor and warns the rich.
Human persons cannot acquire salvation by their own efforts, however hard they try, but
God will save any who believe His Word. The psalmists gratefully exult in God’s saving
power in various circumstances on behalf of those who entreat His help with humility and
trust. It is tempting to trust our own merits, for it is costly to remain faithful to God and hard
not to compare our own efforts with someone else’s negligence. But God owes us no gratitude for our obedience, and Jesus forcefully proclaims that oneness with God is rooted in
His mercy, not in our “doing right.”
Today’s first reading from the Book of Wisdom teaches that Wisdom is infinitely preferable
to any good a person may desire, including “gold” – despite deceptive appearances to the
contrary. The one who finds Wisdom participates in the very thoughts of God, who searches the depths of all hearts. But even when we pursue Wisdom by sincerely trying to obey
God (like the young man who ran up to Jesus in today’s Gospel), we may find it difficult to
go one step farther and actually renounce the “gold” we enjoy. Riches must be renounced
if they become an obstacle on the way of salvation. To rise above earthly things, we must
sacrifice our self-centeredness, which may evidence itself in disdain for the unborn, the
poor, and the broken. This letting go of “things” and our own comfort is so difficult we
would despair of our salvation without Jesus’ words: “All things are possible for God.”
We learn from today’s second reading from the letter to the Hebrews that God’s Word is
living and life-giving, working salvation in those who make room for it in their hearts. But
the Word also pierces like a sword to reveal what is most deeply within us, and no one escapes accountability. Jesus is that Word, reorienting our lives toward God’s will by becoming one with us in His life, death, resurrection, and ascension. Those who relinquish earthly attachments in order to follow Him will be blessed in this life and the next, but not without
enduring (like Jesus) persecution. May we at Notre Dame Catholic Church and School
yearn for such Wisdom and become more and more willing to relinquish our “riches” for the
sake of the Gospel.
In Jesus,
Fr. Mike
TODAY’S
READINGS
First Reading—I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. All
good
things
together
came to me in her company (Wisdom 7:7-11).
Psalm— Fill us with your
love, O Lord, and we will
sing for joy! (Psalm 90).
Second
Reading—
Indeed the word of God is
living
and
effective
(Hebrews 4:12-13).
Gospel—It is easier for a
camel to pass through the
eye of a needle than for
one who is rich to enter
the kingdom of God (Mark
10:17-30[17-27]).

¡Saludos en el Señor!
Anawim es la palabra hebrea para los "pobres", el "remanente", las "sobras", el desfavorecido
económicamente. Las Sagradas Escrituras enseña que Dios tiene una preocupación especial por
los anawim, que están sin poder y deben confiar solamente en el Señor "su heredad" (Salmo 16:
2). No es que la riqueza deba ser despreciada, sino que la pobreza debe ser solícitamente aliviada, ya que es el Señor quien "hace la pobreza y la riqueza, humilla y también exalta." Cristo nos
enseñó que ser pobre en espíritu está conectado a crecer ricamente a los ojos de Dios, porque
los pobres de espíritu creen sólo que Dios es su salvación. Así, Él consuela a los pobres y advierte a los ricos.
Las personas no pueden adquirir la salvación por sus propios esfuerzos, por mucho que lo intenten, sin embargo Dios salvará a quien crea en su Palabra. Los salmistas se regocijan con
agradecimiento en el poder salvífico de Dios en diversas circunstancias, en nombre de los que
suplican su ayuda con humildad y confianza. Es tentador confiar en nuestros propios méritos,
porque cuesta permanecer fiel a Dios y es difícil no comparar nuestros propios esfuerzos con la
negligencia de otros. Pero Dios no nos debe ninguna gratitud por nuestra obediencia, y Jesús
proclama con fuerza que la unidad con Dios tiene sus raíces en su misericordia, no en nuestro
"hacer lo correcto".
La primera lectura de hoy del Libro de la Sabiduría, nos enseña que la sabiduría es infinitamente
deseada por cualquier persona buena, aun más que el "oro" - a pesar de las apariencias engañosas. El que encuentra la sabiduría, participa en los pensamientos de Dios, que sondea las profundidades de todos los corazones. Pero incluso cuando perseguimos la Sabiduría, tratando
sinceramente de obedecer a Dios (como el joven que corrió hacia Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy),
podemos tener dificultades el ir un paso más allá y, de hecho renunciar al "oro" que disfrutamos.
Las riquezas deben ser objeto de renuncia si se convierten en un obstáculo en el camino de la
salvación. Para elevarse por encima de las cosas terrenales, debemos sacrificar nuestro egocentrismo, lo que puede evidenciar en sí con desdén por los no nacidos, los pobres, y los quebrantados. Este desapego de las "cosas" y nuestra propia comodidad es tan difícil que perderíamos la
esperanza de nuestra salvación sin las palabras de Jesús: "Para Dios todo es posible."
Aprendimos de la segunda lectura de hoy de la Carta a los Hebreos, que la Palabra de Dios es
viva y eficaz, salvando a los que hacen espacio para ella en su corazón. Pero, la Palabra también
penetra como una espada para descubrir lo más intimo dentro de nosotros, y nadie escapa a la
rendición de cuentas. Jesús es la Palabra, reorientando nuestras vidas hacia la voluntad de Dios
al convertirse en uno con nosotros en su vida, muerte, resurrección y ascensión. Los que renuncian a los apegos terrenales con el fin de seguirle, serán bendecidos en esta vida y en la siguiente, pero no sin tener que soportar (como Jesús) la persecución. Que en la Parroquia y Escuela
Católica de Notre Dame anhelemos tal Sabiduría y estemos cada vez más dispuestos a renunciar
a nuestras "riquezas" por el bien del Evangelio.
En Jesús,
Padre Mike

MINISTRY EVENINGS
OF REFLECTION
~Christ came to serve, not to be served.
As disciples of Christ, let us follow
the way of the teacher.~
It is time once again to gather those who
serve in any of the ministries here at Notre Dame
for an evening of prayer, potluck, and preparation. All evenings will take place at St. Peter Upon
the Water Conference Center in Ingram (234 Indian Creek Road) beginning at 6 p.m.
We will begin with prayer, share a meal
(we ask that you bring a dish to share with others),
and prepare for the coming year. We will break
into groups so that you can help evaluate, give
your suggestions, and listen to others in your ministry.
Below are the remaining dates and the ministries which will gather. It is highly recommended
that you make every effort to come to the one for
which you ministry is scheduled since you will
break into groups to discuss your ministry; however, if you cannot, then you are welcome to choose
one of the others.
Let us gather in the spirit in which we were
called to serve.

St. Therese of Lisieux is the patroness of missionaries
although she never left her convent. She died at the
early age of 24, yet accomplished great things through
the power of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The church made her the patroness of missionaries to emphasize this most important truth: One soul
coming before the Blessed Sacrament can change the
world! St. Therese said, “My mission is to make God
loved.” May she intercede for us in spreading Eucharistic Adoration throughout the world!

Santa Teresita de Lisieux es la Patrona de los
Misioneros, aunque nunca abandonó su convento.
Ella murió a la temprana edad de 24 años, sin embargo, logró grandes cosas a través del poder de la
oración ante Jesús Sacramentado. La Iglesia la
nombró Patrona de los Misioneros, para enfatizar esta
importantisima verdad: ¡Un alma que viene ante el
Santisimo Sacramento puede cambiar el mundo! Santa Teresita dijo, “Mi misión es que Dios sea amado”.
¡Que ella interceda por nosotros en la difusión de la
Adoración Eucaristica en todo el mundo!

Vinnie on Broadway's
NOTES FROM THE HEART
The volunteers at St Vincent de Paul on Broadway
would like to share with you stories that your donations
and thrift shop support make possible.
Some weeks, the reception area at the food pantry
looks like Peterson's ER.
Break foot, can't work, come to Vinnie's.
Pull Achilles' Tendon, can't work, come to Vinnie's.
Dislocated shoulder, can't work, come to Vinnie's.
Broken arm, can't work, come to Vinnie's.
These temporary problems will soon go away. Regular
checks are a beautiful thing. However, some clients'
regular checks are so low that it takes elaborate strategies to normally make ends meet. We help with that,
too. Most common is with quarterly utility help and
food, currently 5 meals per person and a few snacks
once a month. Another may is with our low priced thrift
store. To our knowledge of the 17 thrift shops in the
area, we are the only 100% volunteer workforce. This
enables us to pass the savings on to our customers. And they keep coming back.
Serving the poor is all made possible by people heeding the call from the Holy Spirit.
WISH LIST:
Food pantry: canned fruit
Thrift shop: volunteers
We gather monthly in His name so that we may hear
together His desire for our organization to be of service to Him, our Pastor and our Parish.
We are the Women of Notre Dame Society. Our
monthly meeting devotional theme this next year is
“Walking with Women Saints”. What we learn from
these women is that first; we must believe in our
hearts that we are beloved daughters of God and
women of prayer so that we learn to recognize God’s
voice and discern His purpose for each of us in our
Parish Community.
Please join us and have a renewed faithful experience with the Women of Notre Dame Society.
Members renewing or joining the Women of ND during
the months of August and September will be eligible for

BooksToBorrow
from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church, near the bell
tower door. We are currently featuring recent
additions to the library.
Disputed Questions, by Thomas Merton, who
opens the book by saying, “A title like Disputed
Questions may, from the author’s point of view,
have at least one definite advantage: it can preserve the reader from the delusion that the
book is ‘inspirational.’ That is certainly not the
case. The book is meant to stimulate thought
and to awaken some degree of spiritual awareness. But it is not supposed to make anyone
break out with a sudden attack of spiritual
happiness, still less with pious enthusiasm and
the conviction that all’s right with the world as
long as we make up our minds to concentrate
on the bright side of things. For this, as I understand it, is what an ‘inspirational’ book is
supposed to do. If that is true, then I should
like to lay claim to the honor of never having
written one.”
Later in the Preface he says, “there is one
theme...which runs through the whole book...
the relation of the person to the social organization.” The dozen and a half essays making up
this volume include three on Boris Pasternak
and five on the Carmelites, plus articles on
Mount Athos, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St.
John of the Cross, and some cutting comments
on contemporary religious art. Read one or
two, or most, or all of the essays, and return
the book so more of us can taste it. (Let the
librarian know if you want to be the next in line
to enjoy it.)
