Corpus Christi Catholic Community “Building the Body of Christ” 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time August 31, 2014 Reflection: “What Truly Satisfies” Dear Corpus Christi . . . . . . thank you for your donation of $1993.00 to the Mission Appeal made by Fr. Roger Nyimi on August 9 and 10. Your sacrifice constitutes a real help for our men and women in the field. Much can be accomplished because of your enthusiasm and support. Our gratitude will find its fullest expression in our daily prayers for your special intentions. Sincerely yours in Christ, Bishop Mbuka Cyprien, CICM "What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" Profit and gain. Most of us would be happy to experience these things. In our capitalist economy, profit is the point. Gain is the goal. Thought of in terms of money or possessions, having plenty of them often offers us a sense of security and sometimes a kind of pleasure. But today Jesus warns us about putting too much stock in this kind of worldly security. It's important to recognize that Jesus isn't condemning money or possessions in and of themselves. But he is advocating a radical rethinking of our priorities. In a way, he turns everything upside down. Instead of giving us tips to "gain the whole world," Jesus instructs us to take up our cross and follow him, and to lose our life for his sake. This is not a message about gain but about loss. At least, that's how it appears on the surface. When we take up our cross — embracing the sacrifices that come with our vocation, or accepting the sufferings that inevitably cross our path — it may not gain us immediate relief, but it will unite us to Christ who suffered for us on the cross. When we lose our life for his sake — giving of our time, our talents, (continued on page 3) Diocese of Boma, Democratic Republic of Congo Inside This Issue ... < Come And Meet Jesus Page 3 Reflections by Sr Therese Mac Kinnon < Need Health Insurance?

Psalm 90:17 Page 3 www.corpuschristi-detroit.org Come And Meet Jesus by Sr. Therese Mac Kinnon August 31, 2014 Reflection: “What Truly Satisfies” (continued from page 1) Many tim es people wish that they lived back in the time of Jesus so that they could meet him in person. The truth is that we do m eet Jesus in m any special ways: in people, in nature, through the Bible, and very uniquely in the sacram ents of the Catholic Church. This Septem ber we are beginning classes to prepare children, young people and adults to receive the sacraments of Baptism , Eucharist and Confirm ation. Registration inform ation is available in the back of church. W e ask that you register as soon as possible so that we can order enough materials. and our treasure for the sake of those we love or those in need — it may not fill our pocketbooks, but it will fill our hearts. Children 7 years of age or older who are in second grade or above are eligible to prepare to receive the sacram ents of Reconciliation and Eucharist. This class helps the children appreciate the great gift that Jesus gave us of him self in the Eucharist. Classes begin Saturday, Septem ber 27, at 10:00 am . in Classroom 5 (the “atrium ”) in the school building. Perceptions Of The Faithful Any young person 12 years of age or older in eighth grade or high school m ay begin preparation to receive the sacram ent of Confirm ation. During their preparation to receive the sacram ent of Confirm ation, the students learn about the gift of our Catholic faith and what privileges and responsibilities they have as Catholic Christians. There will be a m eeting for students, parents and sponsors on Sunday, Septem ber 28, 12:30 p.m . in the rectory basem ent. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) or Really Clear Interesting Accepting is the process is for adults who wish to join the Catholic Church, for adult Catholics who wish to receive the sacram ent of Confirm ation, and for Catholics who m ay have been away from the church for awhile and want to get updated on their faith. Our first m eeting will be on Sunday, Septem ber 28, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. in the rectory dining room . Generations of Faith this year will continue our study of the Bible. Our them e this year will be Journey Toward God : W alking with People of the Bible. W e will study people who are “m easuring sticks” for us and our relationship with God. How do we find God in our relationships? Among the Biblical characters we will study are: Joseph and his brothers, Ruth, Naomi and other wom en in the Old Testam ent, Peter, Matthew, Zacchaeus and other disciples, Mary Magdalene, Phoebe, Lydia, Priscilla, Mary, and others — and of course, our risen Lord, Jesus Christ. W atch the bulletin and listen for m ore information com ing soon. Please contact me at 414-801-0100 or 313-537-5770 for m ore information. — Sr. Therese Jesus wants our lives to be full. Full of love, full of peace, full of joy. Today he rem inds us to be sure we aren't so full of other "stuff" that we have no room left for what truly satisfies. Jesus prom ises that in losing our life for his sake, we will find it in the end. May we have the confidence to put our trust in this promise.

Although reluctant, the prophet Jerem iah , because of his close relationship with God, is inspired to do God’s will in prophesy against the c o m m u n it y lea ders’ id o l worship and injustice to the poor. St. Paul, in his Letter to the Rom ans, encourages them to find God’s will by transform ing and renewing their m inds and bodies to what is good, pleasing, and perfect to Him . Jesus follows His Father’s will by telling the disciples in St. Matthew’s Gospel that He will suffer, die, and be raised on the third day. For Christian stewards, the ultim ate scenario for discipleship is to draw closer to Christ by seeking the Father’s will, and then doing it. For the faithful steward, the result is trem endous fulfillment and peace in this life. Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any w ant to becom e my follow ers, let them deny them selves and take up their cross and follow m e.” (M atthew 16:24) Adult: In w hat concrete w ays do you take up your cross and follow Jesus? Child: W hen has it been difficult to be a follow er of Jesus?
