2 Wellstreams Living Waters for the Journey in Faith By Sister Lauretta Leipzig WHY DID GOD MAKE ME? God made me to know him, to love him and to serve him in this world and to be happy with him forever in the next. Recognize this? It s the answer to the question in the Baltimore Catechism, Why did God make me? It s September, and this might bring memories of our own school days. Many of us growing up Catholic in the 40s, 50s and 60s learned our religion from a little catechism book. I suppose the answer to this question sticks in our memory because our teachers put it in there with such energy and conviction. Perhaps we didn t get the answer right at the time we were learning as children, but now, as adults, we are trying actively to get the answer right in our everyday living. How important it is to get it right, because we are indeed put into this world to know, love and serve the God who created us. We are to bring God s graces to bear in the world, right where they are needed. God gives us a rich supply of food, liberty, prosperity and so many more blessings. And when the Lord comes again in glory, the Lord will be looking for the fruit this abundance has produced. Living up to the generosity of God is not an option for us. It is expected that we conduct our lives virtuously. It is expected that we act with justice by treating others with compassion, respecting the dignity of human life in all its forms, thinking good thoughts, saying kind words and doing honorable and charitable deeds. It s expected that we go far beyond just conforming to the commandments. It s all about knowing, loving and conforming to Christ himself. That is how we go about serving while witnessing to the presence of God s Holy Spirit within us. In a recent homily, I was struck by a phrase I heard -- compassion in action. We have often heard Jesus called a man of compassion. He entered the arena of human suffering, lifted burdens and extended mercy to everyone -- a mercy that was far more than an emotional experience of feeling someone s pain. It was doing what was possible to alleviate it. Compassion in action! Jesus intervened for people who couldn t fend for themselves. He was moved when people were hungry, lonely, sick or confused. Throughout the Scriptural stories, we see wonderful examples of Jesus compassionate serving. The hopeless gathered because Jesus restored their faith. Sinners swarmed to him because he forgave them and removed their guilt. Outcasts approached him because he would not reject them but accepted them completely. The 2 Saint Anne Church September 14, 2014 stannebarrington.org diseased crowded to him because healing came to them with sensitivity and without cost. Luke s account of the Good Samaritan story is a clear lesson and example for us. Recall that both the priest and the Levite walked past the suffering man who had been attacked by robbers. It was the hated Samaritan who intervened, bandaging the man s wounds, taking him to the nearest village and having him cared for at his own expense. Without question, the catechism answer, though simply stated, is an important criteria by which to live. When people come to us as they came to Jesus, we must remind ourselves that the Kingdom of God is, yes, about knowing God and loving God, but it s more than that. It s putting our knowledge and love into action by serving our brothers and sisters and, thus, serving our God. It s about teaching people -- reaching people touching people transforming people! In his gospel, Matthew asks us, If a person has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, should he/she not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? People who are highly pragmatic would probably suggest to the shepherd that he forget about the stray sheep and cut his losses. Better to have ninety-nine safe and sound than take a chance on leaving the flock unprotected for wolves to come and scatter, perhaps even kill. But what is the only option for someone who knows, loves and serves God? Bishop Morneau offers his opinion on the message of this parable. Our God is too compassionate to be pragmatic. Every sheep is important... the more vulnerable a creature, the more attention it should be given Our God is a God who will risk everything lest anyone be lost even his Son for the salvation of the world. When we adhere to the goal of knowing, loving and serving, we are well on the way to following in the footsteps of the Good Shepherd. God gives each of us an abundance of time and ability to use in the service of God. At the most profound level of service, we find ourselves able to help others uncover what is buried in the mundane and even the most difficult -- that spark of God that invests in life and all life s experiences. Am I are you-- being asked, right NOW, to put more time, more effort and more of our resources into fulfilling our purpose in life knowing, loving and serving God in his people in order to be happy forever in God s heavenly kingdom?

10 Faith Formation and Education COMMUNITY EVENT INTRODUCTION TO THE SACRAMENTS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH AND FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH As people of faith, we seek to educate ourselves and our children in Catholic traditions and doctrine. Does our faith formation end with First Eucharist or Confirmation? Sacraments are not meant to be goals; they are milestones along our life s faith journey, moments to be celebrated as beginnings of new aspects of our lives that are made richer by having received the sacrament. Our faith journey continues beyond these sacramental celebrations as our relationship with God grows and deepens. When we say that we are a sacramental people, what does that mean to us? Why are these sacraments important to us as Catholics? In conjunction with the Archdiocesan Year of the Sacraments, our focus in the coming year will be on exploring each of the sacraments. For this event, we are especially pleased to welcome our own Rory Cooney as our adult presenter. Rory has been the Director of Liturgy and Music ministries since He is a gifted speaker, skilled liturgist and accomplished composer whose songwriting career began over 35 years ago and continues to the present as he writes to the needs of the church and the communities in which he serves. He collaborates, records and travels with his wife, Theresa Donohoo, and associate, Gary Daigle, giving concerts, days of renewal, missions and workshops for parishes, dioceses and organizations. Rory also spent many years working with various institutes of the North American Forum on the Catechumenate and Institutes on the Christian Initiation of Children. EVENT DATE ADULT SPEAKER SESSION DAYS AND TIMES TUESDAY FRIDAY September 16th and September 19th Rory Cooney 6:00-8:30 p.m. 6:00-8:30 p.m. Adults, teens and children of all ages, including preschool - register for Community Events to learn and share your faith with others in our parish community. Call the GIFT Faith Formation Office at As individuals, couples and families, when we experience and share our faith together as community, we are all richer for the experience! 10 Saint Saint Anne Anne Church Church August September 31, , 2014 stannebarrington.org

11 Faith Formation and Education On Sunday, September 21st, Saint Anne Catholic Community will celebrate Catechetical Sunday. This celebration provides us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. It offers a time for all of us to rededicate ourselves to this mission as a community of faith. Serving as a catechist is not only an opportunity to give but also to receive. In the spirit of this forthcoming celebration, we ask you to consider becoming a catechist for the youth of our parish. While we do not need people to help with our programs, we are in great need of adult members of our faith community to be involved, as our young people need their presence, witness and wisdom. The following groups are need of adult leaders: Children s Faith Formation Tuesdays evenings: grades 1 and 2 Wednesdays late afternoons: grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Community Events Great for those who are looking for a once in a while opportunity Won t you please give these opportunities prayerful consideration and let us know if you are able to serve?

16 Sharing the Living Story BY CLEM ASERON (A) Lectionary texts: (B) Bible texts (has verse #): THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS, 2014 (638ABC) 1st Reading: Numbers 21:4b-9 Psalm: 78:1-2, 34-35, 36-37, 38. RX = Do not forget the works of the Lord! 2nd Reading: Philippians 2:6-11 Gospel: John 3:13-17 Please refer to A and B above when I cite the Lectionary or the Biblical text. This gospel pericope 1 is part of a dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus, a leading Pharisee in the Sanhedrin, who had come to Jesus at night. Recall that although John depicts Jesus as speaking to a teacher of Israel, this evangelist had written for his followers of Gentile as well as Jewish backgrounds. To the Jew 3 steeped in Hebrew scripture, the term Son of Man (v.13) recalls the passage in Daniel 4 that describes a figure, human in appearance, who would be prominent in the last days when the time of judgment was at hand. After the Resurrection, those who had come to believe that Jesus was indeed the Messiah were faced with the fact that he had left without fulfilling what their tradition expected of the Messiah: liberation from oppression. They probably took this title to mean that Jesus would come again and then would do all that the Messiah was supposed to do. To the Christ-follower, Jesus is uniquely the Son of Man. Not only was he lifted up (ascended to heaven) but also he was lifted up onto the cross by which act he healed humankind (all peoples) of their alienation from God healed them of their sin (vv.16-17). The Jewish reader would recall the story in today s Hebrew scripture that God told Moses to lift up a figure of a poisonous serpent so that those who had been bitten by such a fiery serpent could look upon it and be healed. Ascending into heaven is to be lifted by the Father to return to the Father; but Jesus first step is the cross. When we come to believe in this, in him, we are healed, we have eternal life. When he is raised up, the Spirit will be given to enable all humankind to be once more intimately connected with God. 5 This is John s summary of the Paschal mystery, that is, the incarnation, redemptive death, resurrection and ascension; this Paschal mystery is the glory of the cross. For John, God is above, and the only way we can enter that kingdom is to be born from above; 6 what is on the natural level (the level of flesh) cannot reach the above (the level of the divine) without being lifted up. 7 Being lifted up is accomplished by God 8 drawing humans to himself. We may step away but we are not left alone. Once again, the psalm refrain punctuates the readings: Do not forget the works of the LORD. Forgetting can only lead to darkness, (to sin), 16 Saint Anne Saint Church Anne Church August September 31, , stannebarrington.org 2014 stannebarrington.org CONTINUED ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE

17 Sharing the Living Story to that place where we can more easily choose those very things that cause alienation and subject us to oppression. Remembering the works of the Lord leads to envelopment into God, to such an intimacy with God that John describes it as abiding in God; is this not sacrament? Note that the error of the Israelites in the 1st Reading is that they did forget! They had been rescued from the desert (brought out of Egypt from the oppression there), they had been rescued from drought (through Moses finding water in the rock) and fed during famine (manna from the skies) yet, they forgot the works of the LORD, so they murmured! So, they encountered fiery serpents. They implore the LORD through Moses; once more, God responds. High flown words, but this whole concept is simple. It fits the Mediterranean core cultural value of honor/shame. Jesus does what the core value asks: he willfully chooses to follow the Father in full obedience even though it would lead to physical death; this act is in accord with honorable behavior on the part of sons, and the Father acknowledges it, thereby responding by bestowing the highest honor. How does Jesus do this? He does not forget; the passage from Philippians is graphic: he emptied himself becoming obedient God greatly exalted him. Present day knowledge of the ego might be helpful here; emptying of self could be turning from those things which are self-gratifying and towards those things which serve others, family, friends, and maybe even those whom we think of as other than us. So What? Recall the time when you risked much even parts of yourself to alleviate conditions for someone. 1 Pericope = portion of the bible quoted in the reading which may be changed by addition (Brothers and sisters in the 2nd Reading is not in the biblical text) or omission (the 1st Reading omits the first part of verse 4), or by using discontinuous verses as in the Psalm. 2 In John, night or darkness is symbolic of ignorance (or evil). 3 It was not until after the meeting of mostly Pharisees at Jamnia in 90 to coalesce the Judeans exiled by the Romans who had razed Jerusalem and its Temple in the year 70 did the term Jew come to used of those known as from of old as Israelites and then as Judeans in the first century. 4 See Daniel at 7:13 5 Recall John 16:7 where Jesus assures the disciples just prior to his going to his death that he must leave in order for the Paraclete (the Spirit) to come. This is the same Spirit about whom John shows Jesus telling Nicodemus earlier in today s passage. 6 See earlier in this chapter at vv.3 and 5. 7 See vv See v. 13.

Please call the parish office at where all scheduling is done. Marriage: To be married at Saint Anne, your preparation process should begin 7 months to one year prior to your wedding date. Please call the parish office to secure a date as soon as possible. Membership at Saint Anne is not a requirement.
