The Pastor’s Mutterings
There is an ancient story retold by John Shea about a King and his Prime
Minister, whom he was always testing. The King said: “Can you bring me someone
who is Here and not There?” The Minister brought him a thief, who lives only in this
world to acquire money and goods for now, with no concern for the life to come.
The King then asked “Can you bring me someone who is There but not Here?”
The Minister brought him a wandering monk, who neglected all aspects of this world
to focus only on the next. He is There but not Here.
Then the King asked: “Can you bring me someone who is neither Here nor
There?” The Minister thought for a while, and then brought a beggar to see the
King. “A beggar’” he said, “is not Here because he has nothing of this world’s goods, but because he is envious
of everyone else, he has no concern for spiritual matters, and is therefore not There.”
The King then asked: “Is it possible that there is anyone in world who is neither Here nor There?” The
Minister brought forth an honest household couple. He said “This man and woman work in the world to provide
for their family. But they do everything with God in their thoughts. There both Here and There.”
Each of us are often anxious about many things, and find ourselves in a lot of different places and states of
mind. Sometimes we are here but not there, other times there but not here, and there are moments when we are
neither here nor there. But the “better part,” to which Jesus gives pride of place when he had dinner at the home
of Marth and Mary, is to be both here and there. That is the choice Martha made that day, and it is the high wire act that most of us try to negotiate every day of your lives.
The only way it is possible to be both here and there is to accept that God is the ground of our being, and
that God is in unbroken relationship with us in everything we do. Where do you find yourself today?
We are better

CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD –
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word Ministry (CLOW) is on it’s summer break. There will be no
Children’s Liturgy at 10 am Mass during the summer. CLOW will resume after Labor Day, on
Sunday, September 11th and be held at the 10:00 a.m. Mass each Sunday thereafter.
We especially wish to thank this year’s CLOW leaders: Tom & Catherine Brady, Maura & Sean Barron, Hannah &
Karen Lux, Andy & Cindy Neu, Maureen Gainer Reilly, Penelope Robbins, and Margaret Smith.
CLOW serves children, ages ~4 yrs. – 7 yrs., by breaking open the Sunday Scriptures with/for them at their level of
understanding. The children hear a simpler version of the readings from a Children’s Lectionary, approved by the U.S.
Bishops. CLOW also of benefits parents: relieved from the task of keeping squirming children quiet and attentive
during Mass, parents are able to focus more attentively on the Liturgy of the Word in peace knowing that their
children are being cared for and are hearing the Word proclaimed to them. We are in need adults who will proclaim
the Word to the children. We are also in need of teens and adults who are willing to assist by reading, leading
prayers, and modeling good church behavior. To volunteer for this ministry, please call Matt Furjanic,
773-445-3450, or email: [email protected]. Thank you!

HAVING A PARTY........
for graduation, holidays, your block party, etc?
The St. Barnabas Eccommittee can help make your event an ecologically green one.
We provide containers for aluminum cans which we will distribute to you and collect. The
revenue from these cans is used to purchase eco-friendly products for St. Barnabas events.
We also provide paper cups and water coolers to avoid using bottled water. So much
bottled water comes from 3rd world countries. People are dying there as we drink their water here. Please don't
purchase or drink bottled water. Lives depend on your compassionate choice.
You can call the rectory at 773-779-1166 or call 773-779-6064. Thank you from Mother Earth.

Stewardship is the recognition that all we have is a gift from God. It asks that we use our time, talent, and treasure to
fulfill the depth of our commitment to St. Barnabas Parish. We rely on the generosity of our parishioners to fund our

the Sunday Offertory via electronic check (ACH) or credit/debit card; make automatically repeating payments, or a
