Come, Visit the Lord
In The Blessed Sacrament
We highly encourage prayer and adoration in the
Real Presence of Christ in the Tabernacle. The
chapel is accessible at all times. The combination
is 415. The door will lock safely behind you.
Today’s gospel passage raises some troubling
questions, even for Peter and the disciples. Let’s
take a closer look. It begins with a young man
searching for the key to everlasting life. He’s
followed the commandments since he was a child,
but still doesn’t feel justified before God. So Jesus
looks at him lovingly and invites him to go and sell
all that he has and to come back and follow him.
But the man goes away sad because he was
attached to his many possessions. Jesus tried to
tell him that he could have what he was really
looking for—treasure piled up in heaven—by giving
up what he already had. The young man
apparently wasn’t ready to receive the gift that
would make him truly rich—being made right with
God!
As the young men went away sad, Jesus seizes
the occasion to teach his disciples that being
attached to one’s possessions makes it very
difficult to have the gift of eternal life that is
promised to those who follow him. Peter and the
disciples are described as amazed, even
incredulous. They apparently thought that since
they were the followers of the Son of God this
would result in having more of the good things of
this world. Though they were themselves poor in a
material sense, they harbored a desire to have
more things. Just as Jesus seems to dash these
hopes he renews the promise of the fullness of life
to those willing to put their love for him and his
teachings ahead of every other relationship and
every other thing.
So who does Jesus love more—the rich or the
poor? I believe the answer is that he loves the poor
because they don’t have to give up as much to
follow him. But he also loves the rich who are not
attached to their possessions but are willing to put
their resources into the service of building up the
kingdom of God on earth. But the rich or the poor
who fail to express an interest in knowing what
they must do to have eternal life are no friends of
Jesus.

OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES
Megan York succumbed to a kidney disease at the
tender age of 16. Throughout her life she was given
the greatest love and care by her parents, Wanda &
Ron York. Megan’s grandparents, Wayne & Wilma
Wolfenkoehler, and her aunt and uncle, Warren &
Sherry Wolfenkoehler (and cousin Wyatt) are long
time and faithful members of St. Andrew’s. We
extend our heartfelt sympathy to all of them.
May her soul, and all the souls of the
faithful departed, through the Mercy of God,
rest in Peace
LOOKING FOR GRAPHICS DESIGNERS
We have a lot of pictures and text that we need
to weave into what will become a Memory Book
in connection with our 50th anniversary as a
parish. We could use some help from people
who may, in fact, do this for a living and can
lend us a hand. Please call Fr. Jack if you can
be of help. Or send an email at
[email protected]

FIRST PENANCE PROGRAM UNDERWAY
Children in the second grade and above who are
attending Mass and RE classes regularly will be

We wish to take this opportunity to thank all our
catechists and parent volunteers for their
cooperation in fulfilling the requirements of our
Safe Environment program. Doing so make it
possible for all parents to know that St. Andrew’s
is a safe place for classes and activities involving
their children.
Each year the Safe Environment Curriculum,
Circles of Grace, mandated by the Archdiocese
requires our catechists to present a class to alert
students to things they can do to help ensure their
physical and emotional safety. You can check this
curriculum
out
at
http://archokc.org/religiouseducation-office/safe-environment-curriculum.
Our
Children’s formation coordinator, Amber Johnson,
also has a copy that you could look at here.
This year’s SE Curriculum lesson will be present on
NOVEMBER 4 during the regular classtime. If you
do not want your child to participate in the lesson on
November 4, then the Archdiocesan Safe
Environment protocol requires you to fill out the
parent refusal form and turn it in to Amber Johnson by
October 28. The forms are available on the orange
countertop outside the LifeKids hallway. You can
place completed forms in the plastic holder hanging
outside Amber’s office door.

Celebrating A Year of Faith
WHAT HAPPENED AT VATICAN II?
Few events have so shaped and influenced our
Catholic faith than the Second Vatican Council
which began the first of its four sessions on
October 11, 1962. This is true even for the many
people who know little or nothing about what is
popularly referred to as Vatican II. As an important
part of our observance of this special Year of Faith
called by Pope Benedict XVI, we will conduct two
inspiring and informative sessions so that our
parishioners can appreciate how this council and
its sixteen documents have impacted our Catholic
faith over the past fifty years. Deacon Joe Forgue,
who holds a degree in how adults learn, will be
the principal presenter.
FIRST SESSION
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21
10:20—11:30 IN JOYCE CENTER
SECOND SESSION
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24TH
AT 7PM IN JOYCE CENTER
Fifty years ago this month, nearly 3000 bishops
and heads of religious orders from around the
globe gathered in Saint Peter's Basilica for the
opening session. In addition there were scores of
theological experts present who had been invited
Pope John XXIII to assist the bishops in their work.
There is plenty of evidence that the Holy Spirit also
showed up to inspire and guide the proceedings.
This number included three bishops and one
theological expert who would become Popes:
Paul VI, John Paul I, Blessed John Paul II, and
our current Holy Father, Benedict XVI.
The Council brought the Church once again in her
long history to a "new beginning" for proclaiming
the Gospel and Person of Jesus, the Risen Lord,
this time fashioned by the call for a fine-tuned
aggiornamento (updating) that would occasion a
long overdue conversation with the modern world.
Up until Vatican II, the Church looked sternly at
those who were labeled modernists because of the
fear that they would undermine the ages old
foundation of the Church and its Sacred Traditions.
It would prove a bumpy ride; and controversy over
the meaning of the Council continues down to the
present.
