2 PASTOR S POTPOURRI HUNGER AND THIRST August 3, th Sunday in Ordinary Time When you are hungry, you have something to eat. When you are thirsty, there s something to drink. That s not the world we live in, however. In the world, one out of eight people on the planet today is undernourished. That s 870 million people, roughly two and a half times the population of the United States. Imagine two-and-a-half countries like this one full of people suffering from want of food. A lot of them are children: 1.5 million will die of hunger this year. Even those children wo don t die will spend 160 days a year being sick. That s five months. How much can a child learn if he or she is sick for five months every year? And the list can go on. Because of these statistics are so alarming, we re drive to consider that perhaps nothing can be done about it; there are just too many people and not enough food. Yet that is not true. Every reliable organization analyzing global resources says that world produces enough food right now to feed everyone. That s right: there is enough food for everyone. The two reasons certain people don t get enough are because of land and income. Their land is poor or they are too poor to acquire land. The bottom line is poverty. People starve by tens of thousands every day because they are poor. God created a world in which all who are thirsty could come to the water. God s had opens and the desires of every human being are addressed. But many are still waiting for their share not a banquet, just enough food to feed their children, their elders, their expectant mothers, their breadwinners. How much food do you have in your cupboards, refrigerators, freezers right now? Enough to make it through the week? A month? Jesus looks over the hungry crowds and is moved with pity. And what does he say? Give them some food yourselves. May we take care of those whom we know and those we don t by looking at the need and responding. Msgr. Bob (Excerpts from PREPARE THE WORD, Alice Camille, August 3,2014) Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time My friends Arline and Bay recently moved into a beautiful assisted living apartment, and Arline can t believe how wonderful it is to not be in charge of feeding people anymore. Most nights of the year, for nearly sixty years, she prepared a beautiful dinner for up to ten people. Of course, as the kids grew up and moved out of the house the numbers dropped, but as they married and brought the kids over for dinner the table grew again. Bay helped when he was home, but that s a lot of potatoes to peel, and Arline is weak with relief (and I ll guess just a twinge of melancholy) that she doesn t have to worry about it anymore. Every single meal we enjoy represents labor and attention, gift and sacrifice. From the field to the farm to the beehive to the pasture to the dairy, all creation offers its gift, and then we humans prepare it and put it on the table. Food is probably the best metaphor for the kingdom, and Jesus uses it often. But it s his suggestion to the Twelve---Give them some food yourselves--- that s the kernel of the story. Whatever your gift is attentive listening, loving parenting, sacrificial grand parenting, care for the elderly or for those on the margins in any way God simply asks that you give it, and then watch it multiply. This gift of yours is your sign, your signature on the world. As Gerhard Lohfink has beautifully written, signs make room for the kingdom of God, and allow it to grow. In your own unique way you too are feeding the five thousand, and bringing forth the reign of God. How are you offering your own gifts for God to multiply.

Los invitados se divertirán comiendo y bebiendo, sin pagar nada. Serán satisfechos con la riqueza de la salvación de Dios. La comida mundana da vida a nuestros cuerpos. La comida que Dios ofrece da vida a nuestra alma y a nuestro corazón. Romanos 8:35, El amor entre las personas puede verse afectado por la distancia, los problemas o las preocupaciones sobre el dinero y las cosas materiales. En esta lectura San Pablo señala que nada ni nadie puede separarnos del amor de Cristo. Con Cristo salimos victoriosos sobre los problemas, el sufrimiento y la muerte misma. El amor que Cristo tiene por nosotros, y nosotros por él, no puede ser destruido. Juntos recen: Jesús, que tu amor se fortalezca en nosotros. Mateo 14:13-21 En este evangelio, Jesús está llorando la muerte de Juan el Bautista. Se retira solo en un bote, pero la multitud le sigue. La gente quiere escuchar a Jesús y ser sanada por él. Olvidando su propia tristeza, Jesús regresa a la orilla para estar con el pueblo. Cuando, a la hora de la comida, los discípulos quieren dispersar la multitud, Jesús les dice: "denles ustedes de comer". Los discípulos sólo tienen cinco panes y dos peces: Jesús bendice la comida y hay suficiente para todos, tanto que sobra. PREGUNTAS PARA DIALOGAR Qué hizo Jesús cuando murió Juan el Bautista, alguien a quien él admiraba mucho? Te recuerda el milagro en la historia a la Eucaristía? Toma un momento para dar gracias a Dios, quien satisface nuestras necesidades en la Eucaristía. PROXIMOS BAUTIZOS: Santa Maria, Eagle: Sábado 9 de Agosto a las 4:00 pm.

Mary s Wish List ~ 5 drawer Sacristy Chest $ ~ low table rectangular $70.00 ~ low table long (2) $ ~ City of Jerusalem model, including walls/ buildings / base $ Total: $ A full Teacher Wish List of all St. Clare teachers can be found on line at Catechesis of the Good Shepherd The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, for children 3 to 12 years of age, originated in 1954 in Rome, inspired by the Montessori principles of education. The catechesis soon spread to diverse social environments an d since 1969 to many different countries and cultures. It has been observed that children, even from the earliest age, eagerly seek religious experience and find fulfillment in it only if they are helped to live this experience in its deepest, most essential elements, without any childish overtones. When these conditions are present, young children live their relationship with God in enchanted wonder and profound joy The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is not primarily academic in character. Rather, it seeks to be an experience of life and an education in faith, through the celebration of encounter with the Father, in listening to Jesus the one teacher, and in obedience to the Spirit. In addition to being the K-5 program at St. Clare, CGS is offered to our parish communities three afternoons a week. Priority is given to returning families. This year : level I (3-6 yr olds) will move to Mondays, 4-5:30pm Level II (6-9) will move to Tuesdays, 4-5:30pm Level III (9-12) will remain on Thursdays, 4:00-5:30pm Registration will open August 3rd If you are interested in participating in CGS or would like more information, please contact Mary Ball mball@stclareparish.com or leave a message at St. Clare s school office (970)
