STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be
repaid?” Romans 11:35
St. Paul reminds us of a central fact of stewardship. We
cannot give the Lord anything, because God already
owns it all. God made everything. All that we can do is
return a portion of God’s many gifts back to Him. Sincere gratitude for our gifts opens our hearts to joyful
generosity!

GOOD EXAMPLE
A faithful Christian, illumined by the rays of grace
like a crystal, ought to illumine his neighbor with the
light of good example, through word and deed. —St. Anthony
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
There is a wonderful line in the
movie Rudy where the President of the
University of Notre Dame says “In my
45 years of priesthood there are only
two things I can say with absolute certainty - There is a
God and I am not God.” When St. Paul in today’s second
reading goes into that marvelous hymn it is almost as if
he is in some sort of a deep mystical experience. He
writes: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and
knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments
and how unsearchable his ways! For who has known the
mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who
has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid?” On
this side of eternity there is much that we will have to
question: Why did so and so die? Why did such and such
happen….and so on. The answer to this and to other
questions comes down to four little words: The will of
God.
Our Lady, when addressed by the Archangel
Gabriel, was certainly startled. However, her answer for
Christians some 2,000 plus years has been the model of
understanding that which we cannot comprehend - “Let
it Be…” Spiritual writers such as J.P Caussade have
written eloquently on surrendering to Divine
Providence…..allowing our life to become one continual
“Let it Be..” Mother Teresa used to call it “Total
Surrender.” In her words-“Today there is no water in the
well, there is no food in the pantry….be at peace…let it
be….and then you are free.” It is so hard for us to live
this type of life because in many ways we are masters of
our own destiny. This is what our culture teaches us.
“The self made man.” It is worth noting that St. Thomas
Aquinas had an experience at the end of his life that left
him speechless. He is known as the Angelic Doctor
because of the wisdom of his teaching. Near the end of
his life He had an encounter with God that profoundly
affected him. He put down his pen and declared
“Everything I have written is like straw compared to the
glory of God.” He never wrote again. You and I hearing
those words may then ask “Why bother?” We bother
because God is a God of process, and it is in the process
of learning about God and reading about Him that our
intellect becomes purified. One day we shall see Him as
He is. For now, we stumble in the dark. However, in the
darkness God gives us His aid. We have the Holy Spirit
who prompts our actions and gives us wisdom. We have
the aid of the sacraments which nourish and feed us. We
have God’s Word, Scripture which is like a “lamp unto
our feet.” We have the teaching magesterium of the
Church.
We have so much to be grateful for, but most of all
we should fall to our knees as we marvel at the beauty of
creation and sing: “How Great is our God!”

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION

will begin in September if we have applicants. For more

Often adults are asked to be a Godparent or sponsor for

provide Confirmation classes for interested adults. For
more information, call Dani Annino at 860-267-6644.

Introduction-Liturgy of the Word:
READINGS FOR THE WEEK
In today’s Gospel we will hear Jesus ask, “Who do you
say that I am?” Most of us would not be here if we had
not already given thought to that question. Yet every
new experience in our lives gives us another opportunity
to learn more about the Lord. Maybe it’s been a while
since you’ve thought about it. Today, who do you say
that Jesus is? Let us pray together and find out.

LOVE THEM BOTH
The number of abortions in the United
States has declined 25% since 1990.
Still, 28% of those having abortions identify themselves
as Catholic.
The abortion trade is immensely profitable. It is also
intensely traumatic for women in both
the short and the long term. (Daniel Harrizin)
Isaiah.- 49:26 I will fight and I will save your children
Want to choose adoption instead? Contact National
Council for Adoption (http://ichooseadoption.org/)
Question to Ponder:
How does Peter’s continuing presence in the Church, today
through the ministry of Pope Francis, impact my life of witness? For example, do I consciously emulate Francis’ humility, gentleness, and openness and take time to read his daily
homilies and other teachings readily accessible online?

AUGUST HEALTH TIP
Heat Exhaustion: This is a heat-related illness caused by
the loss of water and electrolytes from the body. It causes
excess sweating, extreme fatigue, weakness, dizziness,
nausea, vomiting and headache. Sometimes it causes muscle cramping.
Risk factors are: Strenuous exertion in high temperatures, Poor physical conditions, Loss of salt or water by
reducing oral intake, Overuse of diuretics (water pills),
Pre-existing illness with fever, Alcohol use and clothing
too warm for the climate
Heat Exhaustion can lead to dehydration: The human
body is comprised largely of water. If you lose more fluids
than you take in, you can become dehydrated. This means
there are not enough fluids in our body for it to function
right.

water is best. Doctor may advise electrolyte solution or
sports drinks. Avoid alcohol; caffeine and carbonated

Defending Our Religious Liberty
#130 August 24, 2014
If religious liberty is not properly understood, all people suffer and are deprived of the essential contribution to the common good, be it in
education, health care, feeding the hungry, civil
rights, and social services.

your opposition to the health care mandate by calling President Obama at the White House at 202456-1111 or U.S. Secretary of Health and Human

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In recent weeks, we have looked at the evolution of how
Roman Catholics initiate children into the life of the Church.
How did customs evolve in the Eastern Church? At one time,
Christians in both East and West preferred to celebrate baptism
in a community setting, with large numbers of adults and
children initiated at Easter. The two branches of Christianity
began to split on the proper time to do this.
In the East, water was blessed in abundance on the feast
of the Epiphany, which marked, among other things, the
baptism of the Lord. Once infant baptism was fixed on that
day, local customs marking a birth began to evolve. One
celebration was the giving of a name on the eighth day,
another was the “purification” of the mother on the fortieth day
after birth. In that blessing, reenacting Mary and Joseph’s
journey to the temple, the priest took the baby in his arms and
placed the child before the altar. Just as Simeon received the
child Jesus, so the priest received the new Christian while
chanting Simeon’s prayer. Later, normally on Epiphany, the
priest would baptize, chrismate (confirm), and give a few
drops of the Precious Blood to the child in a joyous celebration
of the whole community. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
