2 Page 2 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor s Page "...ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you," Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, There are many devout Christians who are deeply puzzled by what they think is God's indifference to their fervent pleas for spiritual favors, which to them appear essential in their journey heavenwards. These people would readily admit that God has good reasons for not granting temporal favors they might not be for their eternal good. Why refuse or delay granting their spiritual needs? The man or woman who has dedicated his or her life exclusively to the service of God still suffers from human weaknesses. He or she is attracted to worldly things, is finding humility and obedience very difficult, suffers from dryness in prayer or worse still is scrupulous to a degree that makes the religious life almost unbearable. Such people could work so much better for God and for their neighbor if only God would remove these weaknesses which, in fact, he could so easily do. Or again, why should whole nations of devout Christians suffer persecution from atheistic tyrants? See their children brought up deprived of the right to practice their faith, or, worse still, taught to despise it? Surely God should answer the prayers of these good people and the fervent prayers of millions of their fellow Christians on their behalf. These and many similar questionings arise in our minds because our limited, human intellects can see but one small section of the immense tapestry which God is weaving for the human race. We would all like immediate results in our own tiny comer of that tapestry while the all-wise God is occupied with the whole picture. He is not forgetting us either. If he delays in answering our urgent appeals, we can be certain that the reason is not that he wants to punish us, but rather to help us. There are many saints in heaven who would perhaps never have become saints if God had not allowed them to struggle on longer than they would have wished, against trials and difficulties spiritual as well as physical. Our divine Lord teaches us, in this parable, the need for perseverance in prayer. This perseverance develops our trust and confidence in God. It helps us to become humble and to realize how weak we are when left to ourselves. It keeps us close to God, as we learn how dependent we are on his generosity. If we only would realize that God is perhaps never closer to us than when we think he is forgetting us! The trials of life, spiritual or temporal, which he allows us to suffer are not obstacles to our spiritual progress but rather stepping stones without which we could not cross the rivers of life at all. God wants every one of us in heaven but just as no two men on earth have the same identical features, so also no two men on earth have the same road to lead them to heaven. God is supervising the journey of each one of us. He is ever there to help if the obstacle on one's road is insurmountable. We may and we must, keep asking God for the spiritual and temporal favors which we feel we need. We must never grow despondent or feel that God has lost interest in us, if he delays in granting these favors. When we shall look back on our earthly journey from the happy vantage point of heaven, we shall see how effectively and how lovingly God regulated our journey. When he did not grant a certain favor it was because he had a much more important one to give us, one we did not ask for or even realize we needed. "Ask and you shall receive," not perhaps what you wanted, but what God knew you needed. "Seek and you shall find," not the easy way which you thought you deserved, but the harder way which would make you more deserving of heaven. "Knock and it shall be opened unto you," not the door you were standing at, which would have delayed or endangered your progress, but the door further down the street where refreshment and new courage to continue on your upward climb were awaiting you. by Father Kevin O Sullivan, O.F.M. *Father Kevin was professor of Sacred Scripture at Christ the King Seminary and St. Bonaventure University in N.Y. and later in the National Seminary, Pretoria, South Africa and as a pastoral priest in Ireland.

3 St. Kilian Catholic Church Page 3...from Father Wayne, My Dear Parishioners, Thank you! Our 2nd annual Taste of St. Kilian was a huge success! The event, held once again at the Norman P. Murray Center, was filled with great food, music, good conversation and much laughter. The Center was a perfect setting for a wonderful, fun-filled evening. This year we were pleased to have our church musicians, Out of Nowhere, play the entire evening where everyone sitting outside was able to enjoy their sound. And taking the inside stage this year was Swing Street, who played a lot of jazz, swing, and soft rock. And while the adults were out enjoying a great evening at the Center, the kids were able to also have a fantastic time at Kids Night Out in Hughes Hall. This was a great time for the kids to cut loose, enjoy pizza, make their own sundaes, play games and watches a movie. We are very fortunate to have some pretty awesome restaurants that really like participating in our St. Kilian fundraising events. Many of the restaurants that sponsored our Taste this year also invited us to their restaurant for our monthly dining fundraisers. So, when you see their name in the bulletin for an upcoming dining event, please attend. You are not only supporting these fine restaurants but you in turn are supporting St. Kilian as well. And when you dine there, let them know you appreciate their generosity. Serving up food for several hundred guests (at no charge to us) is remarkable and something that we can all appreciate. A big thank you goes out to the following restaurants for their sponsorship: Mission Viejo: Bravo Burger, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili s Grill & Bar, Delizie Ristorante & Bar, Garman s Restaurant & Pub, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Oggi s Pizza & Brewing Company, Paradise Bakery, Pick-up-Stix, Taqueros Mexican Restaurant Laguna Hills: Woody s Diner Rancho Santa Margarita: Daphne s California Greek, MiCasa Mexican Restaurant & Bar, Tutto Fresco An evening like this is not possible without the hard work of a great committee. Thank you to those members that worked tirelessly to organize the event. Diane Alatore, Doug Boyd, Jig Bontrager, Cecelia Burks, Mary Kelleher, Mary K. Lenhard, Renee Montague, Diana Myer, and Ann Pasquariello.

FIRST WEEK OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES Thanks to everyone who helped with our first week of classes. It is great to see so many children interested in learning more about our faith. We appreciate the time and effort it takes families to make Religious Education a priority in their lives. Books were given to all children in Grades 1-6 who attended class the first day. Please make sure that your child s name, group number and teachers names are written in the front of their book. Books should be brought to class each week. Children will earn a trip to the Treasure Box after 6 weeks if they bring their book to class each week. Please take a few minutes on the way home from class to talk to your child about the time they spent here. Direct questions like What was the Gospel story about, or what is the saint s name of their classroom might help start the conversation instead of the standard, what did you learn in class today. Use the FAMILY TIME page that is sent home to spark other conversations. Look for flyers from the RE Office to keep up-to-date on activities. Information is also included in the bulletin, our parish website and our FACEBOOK page. We are looking forward to a year full sharing with friends and growing in our faith. Please contact our office if you have any questions about our program. FAMILY TIME PAGES from BLEST ARE WE books More Catholic Family Prayers, Games and Resources at The FAMILY TIME page is sent home before the lesson is taught. It provides the family an opportunity to focus on the theme of the chapter as it relates to family life and readies the children for their catechetical experience. Here are some suggestions on how to use the ideas from these pages with your family. 1. Stick the page on your refrigerator or bulletin board at home. 2. Pick a time that works best for your family; mealtime, before or after bedtime prayers, before a favorite family TV show or activity. 3. Avoid doing what you know will make someone feel selfconscience and out-of-character. 4. Focus on QUALITY time rather than QUANTITY of time. 5. Listen a lot rather than talking a lot. 6. ENJOY YOUR FAMILY TIME it is a precious gift... skre@cox.net
