Sunday, October 12, 2014 ~ The Twenty–eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time OCTOBER 12, 2014 Dear friends / Mis queridos amigos, What’s going on at the end of that gospel parable this week? In the familiar story of the wedding banquet where everything is ready but the guests do not show up, the host resorts first to finding out why the invited guests were not there, then goes ahead and invites people to come whom his servants find on the byroads. But one guest comes to share in the banquet without being properly dressed. Many have speculated why he committed the fashion faux pas. Somehow the host spotted the outsider right away, and he sent him away. He may have looked like he belonged, but he did not know the host or family. Many of us look and talk like we belong in the inner circle of God, close enough to be invited to this Eucharistic banquet. We try to belong – going back to some religious practices that fell away over the years, starting up a spiritual program in search for a closer relationship with God – but lose interest or get tired and give up. In our search for God, all of us must first see the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we see the saints in search for God and try to imitate them. If, however, we are as faithful as Moses, or as poor as St. Francis, or as compassionate to the poor as St. Vincent de Paul that does not always enable us to see God. Instead, we see other people seeing God. We need to do that with our own eyes, not rely on second-hand sight. It was BECAUSE Moses saw God in the burning bush, and because Francis heard God’s challenge to rebuild from the cross at San Damiano, that they found God for themselves. God is always there, waiting to be found. It takes close personal attention to discover God in the messiness of life. Like puzzles that contain hidden objects in the lines, we have to sense their presence before we can see them. We begin to see it when we are confident it is really there. You and I cannot just conjure up God on our own. Even if we contemplate as well as John of the Cross, as delicately as the Little Flower, or as intensely as Ignatius of Loyola, God still remains silent. Why? Because they all learned their prayer language by first seeing God. If only there was an easy way to do this, but we all know there is none. We can choose to pursue other, more comfortable (and easier) pleasures. Unfortunately these fail to satisfy the deep longing programmed in us for God. Sure, it can be a nice life to charge on after those other things, but ultimately, not the best one. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Could you imagine sorting through the mail and finding a special-looking envelope nestled in the pile with all bills and circulars? It contains a formal dinner invitation from God. An RSVP is requested. Will you attend? Maybe there’s a conflict with a game-day sporting event; or you will be away on a vacation you spent a lot of money on; the kids need to be somewhere; or you simply want to spend the day relaxing in bed. Who wants to get dressed up? One of the largest religious groups in the country is made up of inactive Catholics. Even those who consider themselves “active” miss God’s banquet of love on a rather regular basis. We must be careful to remember that because people stop coming to Mass does not mean they have lost their religion. Everyone has a grasp of the sacred that is pre-religious, an innate sense of God that is nurtured by ritual and association with others of like belief. The Mass is Roman Catholicism’s most sublime religious experience, but unfortunately some people never get to know it well enough to understand and appreciate it. They think – by temperament, by experience, or by education – they can get by without it. The Church, however, is a family, and families welcome members even if they are absent or estranged. Undoubtedly this is a task of ongoing evangelization, and I realize I am “speaking to the choir” if you are reading this. You actually come to Church! But the challenge is still there for us all to be credible witnesses to Christ in the world, and to invite by word and example the less-committed Catholics in our families and among our friends back to Church. A family includes even those who do not come to family gatherings. Like Tom Bodett in the Motel 6 commercials: “We’ll leave the light on.” +++++++++++++++++++++++ Significant progress has been made in completing another planned maintenance item previously discussed in the parish bulletin. Replacement of the sacristy roof is finished, and a date for conversion of the priest house heating system to allow for natural gas or oil has been scheduled for early November. The HVAC system in the main Church will be changed over to heat within the next two weeks. After that we will not be able to turn any air-conditioning on, only heat. The new sacristy roof will end the problems we encountered when the ice melted after last winter’s deep freeze, causing numerous leaks in the sacristy bathroom, boiler room, closet, and altar server changing room. Thank you for your generosity in the green envelopes which enabled this repair! Although not “flashy,” it was desperately needed. HAVE A GREAT WEEK, EVERYONE!

PAGE - 7 126 St. Stanislaus - Lansdale, PA OCTOBER 12, 2014 Text of a letter received from Archbishop Charles Chaput: October 12, 2014 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, “Today vast numbers of people still do not know Jesus Christ.” Pope Francis begins his message for this year’s celebration of World Mission Sunday with these words. And he quickly offers us the way to make a joy-filled, life giving difference: “World Mission Sunday is a privileged moment when the faithful of various continents engage in prayer and concrete gestures of solidarity in support of the young Churches in mission lands.” On October 19, our Archdiocesan family celebrates this “privileged moment” joining with our brothers and sisters around the world who will gather at the Lord’s Table to celebrate, with great joy, our common vocation as Missionaries. Our prayers and concrete gestures of solidarity will help build local churches, like the church in Mongolia, the world’s youngest Catholic Church, and churches across the globe. Through the work of missionaries in these churches, and their witness to Christ, the needy receive practical help and experience God’s love and mercy, His hope and peace. Your prayers and material support will help the Pontifical Mission Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Holy Father’s chief missionary arm, to provide resources to missionaries who proclaim the Gospel and offer help to our brothers and sisters throughout 1,150 mission dioceses. As I said in the past, “We need to bring Jesus Christ to the whole world and the whole world to Jesus Christ. Our mission flows straight from the inner life of the Trinity. God sent His Son. The Son sends His Church. And the Church sends us. We need to be missionaries.” No work of the Church is more central to her reason for being. I thank you in advance for your generous response to the needs of others. Pope Francis encourages us to take joyful part in the Church’s mission to all the nations, as we live our lives grounded in love for Jesus and concern for the needs of the most disadvantaged. May World Mission Sunday offer each one of us an opportunity to accomplish both, as we share the joy of the Gospel and help all people in need with our fervent prayer and our generous hearts! Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M., Cap. Archbishop of Philadelphia Here at St. Stanislaus we will take up the World Mission Sunday collection at Masses next weekend, October 18 & 19. There will not be a separate collection. Please place your donation in the regular Sunday Offering basket in a designated envelope. Thank you for your generosity to this Appeal.

PAGE - 8 126 St. Stanislaus - Lansdale, PA THE TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME XXVIII DOMINGO ORDINARIO - 12 DE OCTUBRE DE 2014 El Padre de nuestro Senor Jesucristo ilumine los ojos de nuestro corazón, para que veamos la herencia gloriosa que Dios nos ha reservado. (Efesios 1, 17-18) Intención de la misa: (Para ofrecer una misa por una intención anunciada, hable con Padre Forlano) Lecturas del Domingo 1) Isaías 25, 6-10 Salmo 22, 1-3a. 3b-4. 5. 6 Habitaré en la casa del Señor, por años sin término. 2) Filipenses 4, 12-14. 19-20 3) Mateo 22, 1-14 Parábola del banquete nupcial (Mateo 22, 1-14) Dios mío, me invitas, me llamas incansablemente a tener un encuentro misterioso en el amor. Tu iniciativa me conmueve. Ayúdame a elevar mi corazón hacia Ti para saber corresponder a tanto amor, participando dignamente en este banquete de la oración. Reflexión: Podría sonar demasiado extraño este evangelio porque, ¿cómo es posible que alguien rechace la invitación a una boda donde habrá vino, música y buen ambiente? Al menos hoy día son pocos los que rechazarían esta oferta tan especial. Pero es claro que esta parábola Cristo nos la dibujó así para que comprendiésemos que todos estamos invitados a participar del gran banquete que celebrará en el cielo. Sólo nos hace falta cumplir un requisito que el evangelio lo pone como algo externo pero que en realidad en las bodas se le da demasiada importancia y es el vestido. Es necesario e indispensable entrar con el ajuar apropiado al gran banquete que Cristo nos invitará, este ajuar es la vida de gracia. Por eso expulsaron de la boda al hombre que no llevaba el traje apropiado, porque no estaba en vida de gracia. Y la gracia, como la llama santo Tomás de Aquino, es "nitior animae" es decir, esplendor del alma, presencia de Dios en nuestra alma. Es claro que Jesús no puede habitar en un lugar en donde no tiene amigos, y tampoco nosotros nos deberíamos atrever a presentarnos a la boda que Él organiza cuando no le tenemos por amigo. Esto es la vida de gracia, conservar su amistad y por tanto rechazar enérgicamente todo lo que pudiese ofenderle: revistas indecentes, películas deshonestas, compañías perjudiciales, ofensas a nuestros padres o hermanos, críticas etc. Es difícil conservar esta amistad con Cristo, pero si realmente lo tenemos por amigo no nos atreveremos a ofenderle, sino que al contrario nos esforzaremos por ser cada día mejores amigos de Él. (Autor: Misael Cisneros | Fuente: Catholic.net) Octubre es el Mes Respetemos La Vida “Cada Uno de Nosotros es Una Obra Maestra de la Creación de Dios” No importa cómo el mundo nos considere o considere a los demás, tratemos a cada persona como la obra maestra que es. “Incluso los más débiles y vulnerables, los enfermos, los ancianos, los no nacidos y los pobres, son obras maestras de la creación de Dios, hechos a su imagen, destinados a vivir para siempre, y merecedores de la máxima reverencia y respeto”. - Mensaje del Papa Francisco en ocasión de La Jornada por la Vida RESPETEMOS LA VIDA SANACIÓN POST-ABORTO Si usted o alguien que usted conoce está sufriendo después de un aborto, ayuda que no juzga confidencial está disponible : Tema Serie del Proyecto Raquel nacional gratuito artículo: 888-456-HOPE (-4673) o visite HopeAfterAbortion.org .Los hispanohablantes pueden visitar www.esperanzaposaborto.org ¿Cómo le devolveré al Señor todo el bien que me ha hecho?
