Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
A pithy summary of all today’s readings could be “you can’t take
it with you.” The bottom line for all of us is that when we die, all
the earthly things we have worked for and accumulated mean nothing. What matters in Heaven is totally different from what matters
in our lives here on earth. Wealth in and of itself isn’t bad. What
matters is what we do with our wealth. Do we hoard it like
the doomed rich man in today’s gospel from Luke 12:13-21? Or
do we follow St Paul’s suggestion in the second reading from
Colossians 3:1-5, and “Think of what is above, not of what is on
earth”?
In his encyclical, Evangelii Gaudium, our Holy Father Pope
Francis wrote “We have created new idols. The worship of the
ancient golden calf has returned in a new and ruthless guise in the
idolatry of money and the dictatorship of an impersonal economy
lacking a true human purpose” (56). St. Paul also likened greed to
idolatry in today’s reading from Colossians.
As Christians our lifelong goal should be making ourselves rich in
the eyes of God. Who are the rich in the Kingdom? Once again
St. Paul comes to our rescue giving us guidelines for citizenship
in the Kingdom. “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and
beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and
patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if
one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you,
so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the
bond of perfection. And the peace of Chr ist contr ol your
hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body.
And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as
in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing
psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to
God. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through him” (Col 3:12-17). If we follow St Paul’s guidelines our
heavenly wealth will be abundant.
Creator God,
Lord and giver of life,
how generous you are to all your creatures.
With such generosity ever before our eyes,
help us to avoid greed in all its forms,
to measure life’s worth
not by the quantity of possessions,
but by the life and love we freely place at the service of others.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
AMEN.
And over all these put on love,
that is, the bond of perfection.

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
31 de julio del 2016
Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El Sentido de la Vida. Hay preguntas que nosotros las escribimos en nuestro propio lenguaje pero que ciertamente no han empezado a existir cuando
nosotros las hemos empezado a decir. El libro del Eclesiastés, por ejemplo,
contiene expresiones como las que hemos oído hoy, que tienen un sabor
marcadamente "existencialista," si queremos usar esa expresión.
De fondo, el tema permanente es que la vida requiere renuncias, esfuerzos,
padecimientos, y por ello es inevitable preguntarse, en el lenguaje que sea,
con más o menos filosofía, si eso, si todo eso, merece la pena. La respuesta
de la primera lectura es que no; la respuesta del evangelio de hoy es que se
engañan los que piensan que una gran abundancia es compensación justa a
una largo esfuerzo.
Nosotros, lo mismo que los hombres del siglo I o del siglo XIII, preguntamos a nuestra propia manera por el sentido de la vida. No siempre de un
modo explícito, es decir, como un tema planteado y abordado; pero sí nos
lo preguntamos. El joven que anda aburrido a pesar de que parece tenerlo
todo y vivir en un país próspero, la madre de familia que un día se ve hastiada de su rutina y ve con pavor que la amargura se le entra en el alma, el
profesor que no sabe si ha valido la pena su vida de esfuerzos y desvelos,
el abuelo que se queda mirando el horizonte, esperando la visita que nunca
llega... Todos ellos, en su propio modo, están preguntándose si ha valido la
pena lo que han sufrido y soñado. Es una pregunta que sencillamente no
podemos esquivar; para huir de ella tendríamos que huir de nosotros mismos.
La Falsa Solución: Abundancia. Hay gente que parece no tener que
preguntarse más. Son los que la están pasando bien. Están bien provistos y
se sienten a salvo, resguardados por sus bienes, su poder, sus ideas brillantes y su lenguaje hábil. La respuesta a la gran pregunta es fácil para
ellos: "la vida es para gozarla"; "el mundo es de los avispados." Obran con
desenvoltura porque no tienen que pensar en restricciones; y sin embargo,
están restringidos al presente y no se dan cuenta que las circunstancias del
día de hoy no son eternas.
Por eso Jesús califica de "necedad" la actitud de los que se fían de sus
muchos bienes, como ese rico del evangelio. Uno puede eludir la pregunta
por el sentido de la vida encerrándose en la prisión del presente y el hoy,
pero hasta esa prisión llega la luz de otra pregunta, la que oímos en el
texto: "¿Para quién serán todos tus bienes?" En el fondo esa pregunta
contiene una afirmación: si alguien se va a hacer rico con tus riquezas, ¿no
es verdad que estás trabajando para él?
Nuestra condición de seres temporales y finitos nos obliga a buscar en otra
dirección. La solución no es encadenarse al aquí y el ahora ni tampoco
dedicarnos a cuidar los bienes que pasan, convirtiéndonos más en sus
siervos que en sus señores. La temporalidad y la finitud se vencen buscando lo que es permanente e infinito, es decir, buscando en nosotros lo más
duradero y propio (aquí llamado, el alma) y sobre todo buscando a Dios,
único y real fundamento de cuanto existe y de nosotros mismos. Amén.

As we were praying outside the abortion
clinic, Bella came out of the clinic and was
crying. We reached out to her and she came
to talk with us. She had the most beautiful
eyelashes that seemed to force the large tears
from her eyes. She said "I almost did something crazy here today."
We talked about the other three children she has and how much she
loves them. Bella chose life for her fourth child. Thanks be to
God!

Finding Peace Amid Stress Retreat, August
26-28. Unchecked, daily stress leads to anxiety that blocks the peace and love God longs
to infuse into our hearts, leaving us feeling

with no real meaning or purpose. This retreat provides tools for
finding our lives in God and discovering the love, peace, meaning,
and purpose that only God can provide. Contact Patti at the
Monastery in Conyers for a reservation at (770) 760-0959 or

Water Walking 101: Healing Fear 24/7
One-Day Workshop – Friday, August 26
10am- 3pm (Eastern Time)
“(People) go through far greater lengths to avoid what they fear
than to obtain what they desire.”
Our fears keep us prisoners drowning in worries from the past, present, future, or, if all is well, losing our joy and life to another’s
problems. Our worries and fears can take half our life. (Pessimists
live half alive and die two years sooner.) We will learn water
walking, not just to stop drowning in our storm, but, like Peter, to
walk on our growing edge where the waves of our fears become the
waves supporting our dreams.
Fee: $50 includes noon meal and $15 non-refundable deposit.
Living Life Fully in Light of Eternity
Weekend of Friday, August 26, 7pm - Sunday, August 28
Near Death Experiences reveal a Divine template for the spiritual
journey into unconditional love. We will explore how the process
of each stage of an NDE facilitates a transformation marked by
peace, forgiveness, increased self-esteem, a hunger for spirituality,
loss of the fear of death, finding our unique purpose, and the
conviction that all that really matters in life is to love as deeply as
the eternal Light of God loves us.
This retreat is to experience this transformation now – without the
inconvenience of first dying. Then our lives will be radiating
Jesus’ promise, “I have come that you may have life and have it
more abundantly.” (John 10:10) The retreat will focus on deepening positive memories, healing negative memories, healing fears of
diminishment and dying, and finding purpose in life.
Fee: $180 (includes a $40 non-refundable deposit)
Fr. Matt Linn, S.J., pr esenter for both r etr eats, has focused on
integrating physical, emotional and spiritual healing. He is a member of the Association of Christian Therapists with advanced graduate degrees in sociology, anthropology, spirituality and theology. Since 1970, he has given courses and retreats in over 60 countries from the U. S. to Australia. Ordained in 1973, he currently
lives in a Jesuit community in Minneapolis where he trains spiritual
directors at Sacred Ground. He also serves on the editorial board
of Presence: A n International Journal of Spiritual Direction. Matt,

Now might be the perfect time to join us. Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm.

The sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation can be
given only once, because they “imprint on the soul an
indelible spiritual mark, the character,
which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked
a Christian with the seal of his Spirit..” (CCC#1304)
If you would like to learn more about this,
and maybe discern if the Lord might be leading you to
the Catholic Church, please check out our RCIA program.
Classes are ongoing, so it’s never too late to join!

The catechist, then, is a
Christian who is mindful
of God, who is guided by
the memory of God in his
or her entire life an who
is able to awaken that
memory in the hearts of
others.
We could really use your help in Elementary Faith Formation
this school year. As of now, we need 20+ catechists on
Sunday morning, specifically 5th, 4th & 3rd grades, as they
have no teachers or aides. Pre-K, 1st, and 2nd grades only
have 1 class for each grade. Please prayerfully consider
donating your time to help on Sunday mornings 8:45a10:15a.
If you can’t commit to teaching each week, please consider
being a substitute. We can always use extra hands during
cold and flu season. Please contact Sharon Brown for
more information at [email protected]
Why Should I be a Catechist?

Parenting...Teaching the youth

many opportunities to continue your
