3 22 ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME On a trip to New York City, our group ended up sitting at an outdoor café, watching people walk by. One person made the observation that every person walking by us had a story to tell, a place to go and things to do. It reminded me of a movie that examined the many ways in which the lives of strangers are intertwined and overlap. We are closer than we imagine. The woman walking by is the granddaughter of your great aunt s best friend. The man at the corner store is the cousin of the priest who married your parents. The young boy on the bike who almost knocked you over goes to your parish, but only when he visits his grandfather, who ushers at the 7:00 Mass on Sunday morning. We are connected in so many ways. Faith makes those types of connections. We share the same beliefs, receive the same sacraments and struggle with the same sins, yet we live miles apart. We ve prayed together, hoped together, and worshipped together. To be a Catholic is to be part of the universal Church, the Body of Christ. In Him we are more than just connected by coincidence. We are the children of God, united as one. ~James Gaffney, 2009 Karides Lic. to St. George Publishing jim@stgeorgepublishing.com ST.
