Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Wisdom 2:12, 17-20
James 3:16-4:3
Mark 9:30-37
The Son of Man Will Be Handed Over to Suffer and Die
But He Will Rise Again on The Third Day
As we survey the Gospels, we find that many times the disciples failed to understand much of what
Jesus said and did. When he spoke in parables, they needed further explanation in private. When he
sent them out to preach and heal, they often failed to see that they were simply acting in his name and
with his authority. In today’s Gospel, Jesus wants his disciples to be fully aware of all that their discipleship will entail. Jesus knows that in coming to follow him, the disciples have come with their own
expectations and understandings.
From the Gospels, we see that the disciples tended to understand the messiahship of Jesus in
earthly and political terms. For them the Messiah would be a divinely appointed national leader with
the military strength and prowess of King David and with the wisdom and prosperity of King Solomon. If Jesus was the Messiah then they expected to benefit from following him. Hence, the question:
Who was the greatest? In their way of thinking of Jesus, it was obvious that the greatest among them
would benefit the most in the new earthly kingdom that they thought Jesus would restore.
But the real Messiah was something very different. Instead of military power, Jesus witnessed to
the power of love and forgiveness in the world. Where others pursued the lure of material wealth and
prestige, Jesus revealed that God has a special place in his heart for the poor, the afflicted and the outsider. Jesus’ life and ministry bore witness to the truth that he had come to serve and not be served.
Clearly, the disciples would have to be dissuaded of their false expectations. To do this Jesus
speaks explicitly of his own expectations. He will be handed over and will suffer and die and as his disciples they, too, can expect nothing less. Perhaps it is no surprise at this stage that the disciples remain
in their ignorance. We too often need to hear discomforting news several times before it finally sinks in.
So it is with the disciples. Today they hear, but they do not understand. That will come later!
But for us, we know the final chapter of this great book that is the mystery of Christ. It does not
end in defeat. Jesus, in his victory over death, witnesses to the enduring care and unconditional love of
God even in the face of a shameful death. Jesus is handed over, but in the resurrection his triumph is
complete and we are given the promise and hope of eternal life.
..Shalom!
..Peace be with you!
..Father Ray
By James Gaffney
Years ago, people who came from humble homes would say, “It’s not much, but it is home.” When
some of their sons became priests and would be assigned to parishes with large rectories and churches,
the priests would joke, “It’s not home, but it’s much!”
The Apostles fell into the same trap, but their superlative was “the greatest.” They were debating
among themselves who was the most important--the first struggle for power in the Church! Jesus
changes the focus. Being the greatest is about service, not power. When one can serve the needs of all,
even a small, powerless child, then greatness is achieved. That greatness is measured by the standard
of love and selflessness, not strength and domination.
Practicing our faith gives us a vision to see others as God sees them and act accordingly. We have
the power to change the world, one life at a time. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the
sick and consoling the sorrowful are not far off works of mercy. They are the stuff of everyday life, the
practical ways in which we serve, heal, and pray. It is not played out on a world stage, nor will it make
the news. It does, however, make a difference. It’s not just something; it’s much!

WORKSHOP: PASTORAL CARE TO THE SICK AND HOMEBOUND
The Office of Health Care Ministry of the Archdiocese of Boston is sponsoring a two-day workshop on Pastoral Care to the Sick and Homebound at Saint John the Evangelist Parish in Chelmsford.
The workshop will be held on Saturday, October 10th and Saturday October 17th from 9:00am to
3:00pm. The instructor will be Timothy Duff, a certified Chaplain.
This workshop serves as a wonderful introduction for volunteers new to ministry to the sick, as
well as a way to deepen the skills and spiritual formation of more experienced Pastoral Visitors and
Eucharistic Ministers engaged in visiting the sick at home or in nursing home facilities. The workshop
will include a review of communication skills, the basics of pastoral visitation, key illness issues, spiritual needs and concerns, grief, loss and dying, and caregiving issues.
If you serve our parish community as a Pastoral Visitor or Eucharistic Minister to the homebound
or those in nursing homes, or would like to volunteer for this ministry, please, contact Fr. Ray at the
rectory about this workshop. He will discuss it with you and assist you in registering, if you wish to attend. The fee is $40 and it will be paid for by the parish. The registration deadline is October 1st.

SUPPORT CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Gold was chosen as
the color to represent Childhood Cancer Awareness because our children are the most precious of our gifts, yet all types of childhood cancers combined receive only 4% of U.S. Federal Funding for cancer research. That means out of 100 pennies only 4 of them goes to funding
for ways to treat childhood cancer.
You can help those children affected by cancer when you say a prayer for them and their families,
donate to research, or spread awareness. Find out more information at http://www.stbaldricks.org/ ,
sign up to help save a life at http://donatelife.net/ to register as an organ donor or donate blood in loving memory of a local child at the Red Cross Alexandra Ullom Birthday Blood Drive on Sunday, September 27th from 9 am -2 pm at the Chelmsford Elks Lodge. Thank you for joining us as we support
the fighters, admire the survivors and honor those taken..
RCIA: RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS
RCIA is a process whereby the Catholic Church welcomes new or returning members to the Catholic. It is a very special period of time to: learn more about the beliefs and teachings of the Catholic
Church; explore the process for becoming a Catholic through reception of the sacraments of Baptism,
Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation; grow in one’s appreciation of the richness of the Catholic faith.
St. Margaret Parish will offer the RCIA Program consisting of twenty-two sessions that begin on
Tuesday, October 6, 2015 to Palm Sunday, March 20, 2016. This leads into Holy Week and culminates
in the reception of the needed sacraments at the Easter Vigil on Saturday, March 26, 2016. If you or
someone you know has any questions about RCIA, please, complete the form below, and return it to
the Parish Rectory Office. Father Ray or Deacon Barry will contact you as soon as possible.

INVITATION TO A SOCIAL CELEBRATION ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2015
In Appreciation of Pam Quinn & Kelly Paradise-Brothers
All parishioners are invited to a social celebration in Sacred Heart Hall (lower church) on Sunday,
October 4th after the 11:00am Mass in appreciation of Pam Quinn and Kelly Paradise-Brothers and
in recognition of their many years of exemplary service given to the children and youth in our parish
Religious Education programs.
Both Pam and Kelly are to be commended for sharing their time and giftedness and giving their
very best to these programs even though they both have full-time responsibilities to their positions and
careers in the field of education. Pam will continue to serve the parish as Coordinator of Altar Server
Ministry. Kelly will continue to serve the parish through the middle of November as she journeys with
our Grade 11 students receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in November.
Let us pray: Gracious God, thank you for the blessings you have bestowed on our parish community
through the pastoral service that Pam Quinn & Kelly Paradise-Brothers have shared with the children
and youth of our parish. They have provided our young people with many kind words and loving actions
that have enabled our youth to know of your unconditional love. We pray that you will now and always
support Pam & Kelly in their careers and on their journey through life. Lift them up in ways that keep
their eyes focused on you and make their spirits soar. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.
