“Subsidized by over $500 million
taxpayer dollars each year, Planned
Parenthood dismembers or chemically
poisons a baby to death every two
minutes- killing over seven million innocent children
since 1973,” said Congressman Chris Smith, following
President Obama’s veto of defunding Planned
Parenthood. NRL News 1/9/16
A Note from Fr. Larry
The following “Message of the Week” from
Liturgical Publications’ Connect! for July 31,
2016 is offered in place of Fr. Larry’s note:
“Take care to guard against all greed, for though one
may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
(Luke 12:15) This isn’t a message that gets much
advertising. On the contrary, just about every advertised
message we hear comes from someone who wants to
make money by selling us possessions. In today’s
culture, it’s hard to remember that life isn’t about
possessions. But in this Gospel, Jesus reminds us that
there is more to life. Unlike the fool who spends all of his
time, energy, and money building larger barns, we
should focus our resources on becoming “rich in what
matters to God.” This means cultivating virtue instead of
vice. It means sharing our money with those in need
instead of hoarding it out of selfish greed. The call is a
challenging one, and countercultural too. But Jesus
never said that the Christian way was the way of the
world. Instead of falling for the marketers’ messages,
may we have the wisdom to store up our treasure in
heaven.
EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
The readings for this Sunday force us to take a closer look at the
whole concept of success. They begin with Ecclesiastes’ diatribe
against those whose lives revolve around meaningless goals.
“Vanity of Vanities,” the Preacher, Qoheleth, the presumed
author of Ecclesiastes, says, “All things are vanity.” People work
hard for things that pass away. The original meaning of the word
“vanity” in the First Reading, was that which is “empty or
valueless.” Qoheleth’s statement is really a striking wake-up call,
not a depressing one. The transience of earthly goods should be
a constant reality to us. Barns, garages, closets or storage units
may be helpful, but, in the long run, getting them—or losing
them—is not of overwhelming importance. We need to work,
provide for ourselves and our families, and share with those in
need. But, when our concept of success is measured mainly by
what we own and can show off, then, our lives are in vain. None
of these things last. Love lasts. Work done in love lasts. The
Responsorial Psalm asks “Teach us to
number our days aright that we may
gain wisdom of heart.” Our days and our
goods are fleeting, but we may become
wiser in our approach to how we spend
our days.
“Seek that which is above,” Paul tells the Colossians and us, in
the Second Reading. Then, he lists some of the things that hold
us back from seeking God: immorality, impurity, passion, evil
desire, greed and lying. “Here there is no Greek and Jew,
circumcision and uncircumcision, etc. … ” St. Paul asks us to put
aside all that divides us, to stop seeing people as the “other”.
“Christ is all and in all.” Is there any room for discrimination
against others when we are all one in Christ? Can we call
ourselves Christians if we shut out other members of God’s
family? If we wish to be sensitive to the presence of God in our
lives, we have to recall His presence frequently, to give ourselves
moments of stillness and reflection in the midst of our work and
our lives. We can become more aware that it is in God that we
live and move and have our being. As we celebrate the Feast of
St. Ignatius of Loyola today, founder of the Jesuits, we can learn
from his spirituality of being conscious of God at all times of the
day and from his belief that we need to be people of service in
order to have meaning in our lives.
When we look at the Gospel today, Jesus says, succinctly, that
“One’s life does not consist of possessions”. He tells the famous
parable about a very rich man who produces a huge harvest one
year and is busy tearing down his barns to build still larger ones.
He wants to hoard more. This particular rich man got a surprise
as he decided to eat, drink and be merry. God said to him, “You
fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things
you have prepared, to whom will they belong?...Thus will it be
for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in
what matters to God.” This does not mean that we should not
have good times. But, the story shows that the basis of this
man’s success is his grain. When he suddenly dies, his success
remains behind, and he goes to God empty handed. St. Francis
recognized that wealth, family, and social position confined him
in a web of relationships that made it impossible to be a fully
human being in the image of Christ. His prophetic action of
stripping off his rich clothes in the square in Assisi was a sign that
the inner person had to be exposed rather than cloaked in silk
and velvet. Francis’ behavior helps us to recognize the
shallowness of what the world calls success. We do not need to
take such dramatic action, but it helps now and then to simplify
our lives. This is what all the great holy ones, in every religion,
realized. Let’s listen to today’s readings and focus on what is
truly important in life: a loving relationship with God and with
others.
Why not be part of something that promises to have a positive
effect on the renewal of the Catholic Church in our diocese? ARISE
Together in Christ Season one will start in October 2016! It is an
opportunity to develop a closer relationship with Christ, grow in
community and reach out in service to others.
ARISE small groups will meet regularly for six week sessions primarily
in homes and other locations around the parish. Facilitators will be
provided with seasonal information to prepare for each session
utilizing the well-organized materials and training provided by
RENEW International (a Catholic ministry organization). In addition
to ongoing support and online resources, RENEW will provide
specific training workshops for parish leaders and facilitators each
season.
If you are interested in becoming a parish leader or facilitator,
please contact Alayne Cox at [email protected].
