RCIA begins October 7th, please call Deacon Nash at We look forward to welcoming you! TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Back to work we go! Summer break is over and there is much to accomplish in school and in the workplace. It s a venerable Catholic custom to assign patron saints to the trades and occupations of life. This is largely in the realm of popular devotion, and although from time to time the Vatican declares a saint to be patron of this or that, the process is free-wheeling and just about uncontrollable. Still, there is a saint for almost any purpose, whether you are on death row (Dismas), having eye trouble (Lucy), or pursued by poisonous toads (Hubert). Medieval guilds would often associate themselves with heavenly patrons, so Saint Joseph has the carpenters, Thomas More the lawyers, and physicians get Saint Luke. If you re stuck in the airport, St. Joseph of Cupertino is on call since he was said to rise off the floor when he prayed, and if you re in a long line at the ATM, Saint Anthony Claret is for you. In recent years, the Vatican has from time to time assigned a new patronage, as when Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was named the patron of HIV-AIDS patients, since as a young Jesuit novice he had cared for his fellow novices during a terrible plague. Anything that matters to us nation, parish church, occupation, illness can have a patron, and it is an aspect of Catholicism that has enormous appeal. To believe in the communion of saints is to know that the ties that bind us as a communion do not unravel with death, and that when we stand before life s struggles, we do not stand alone. Who is your patron saint?

3 Do you know...what the name Christ really means? Jesus means in Hebrew: God saves. At the annunciation the angel Gabriel gave him the name Jesus as his proper name which expresses both his identity and his mission. Since God alone can forgive sins, it is God who, in Jesus his eternal Son made man, will save his people from their sins. (Mt 1:21) CCC 430. The word Christ comes from the Greek translation of the Hebrew, Messiah, which means anointed. It became the name proper to Jesus only because he accomplished perfectly the divine mission that Christ signifies. In effect, in Israel those consecrated to God for a mission that he gave were anointed in his name. This was the case for kings, for priests and, in rare instances, for prophets. This had to be the case all the more so for the Messiah whom God would send to inaugurate His Kingdom. It was necessary that the Messiah be anointed by the Spirit of the Lord at once as king and priest, and also as a prophet. Jesus fulfilled the messianic hope of Israel in his threefold office of priest, prophet, and king. CCC 436 Jesus accepted Peter s profession of faith, which acknowledged him to be the Messiah, by announcing the imminent Passion of the Son of Man. Hence the true meaning of his kingship is revealed only when he is raised high on the cross. Only after his Resurrection will Peter be able to proclaim Jesus as Messiah and King to the People of God: Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified. CCC 440 STILL LOOKING for the Stained Glass window sections that were removed from the Adoration Chapel when the window AC unit was installed. If you can help us locate them, we would greatly appreciate it. Please call the Rectory! Building Maintenance Position Open ~ job opening for a Building Maintenance person to take care of general maintenance of the Church properties (Church, Office, Rectory, Hall, St.Vincent s Closet) is currently open. Tues-Fri, flexible hours, parttime, less than 35 hours a week, pay is negotiable. Please call office for application or ask Fr. Keith 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time And He began to teach them. People in Mark s Gospel don t just do things, they very often begin things. The Gospel itself opens with the word, Beginning The beginning of the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mark asks its readers of the Gospel: How did it all begin? We are told earlier in Mark s Gospel about the feeding of the five thousand, that Jesus began to teach them at some length, but what is meant in today s Gospel reading is a new kind of teaching. Teaching is no longer just a matter of words: it tells of what is about to happen: Teaching. For instance, Peter knows the word Christ - the Anointed One but until the Passion of Christ begins, he is not even close to understanding what it really means for Jesus to be the Christ, until Peter also has to carry his cross. If the cross of the Christ was just a word, then all we would have is memories; all we would be doing as Christians is commemorating an event from history. Yet the cross is a reality today. It is a choice made by every human being either to be one who carries the cross, or to be one who imposes the cross on others. The journey of Jesus is NOT a journey to death. Death is what His enemies plan for him; Jesus makes it a journey to Life, through death, because heaven is His true home and it is our true home too. To carry the cross is a Life wish. It is only through faith and hope in the Risen Christ that we can offer to each other the Life of God, because with his very life And He began to teach them.

Some lament the loss of people dressing up for church on Sunday; others think it s a healthy sign that we re as casual in attire gathered before the Lord as we are elsewhere. No matter which school of thought on this topic we belong to, James would probably chastise us. In either case, we are still focused on external appearance, mistaking it for some sort of favored position before God. True, James criticizes the community that favors the rich and well-dressed while ostracizing the poorly clothed, but even more he criticizes the making of distinctions, making choices based on criteria that having nothing to do with the reign of God. James might turn our attention to the reign of God described by Isaiah, in which people are healed and the earth becomes ripe to bear fruit. Jesus today is focused on this reign of God, healing a Gentile man in a region hostile to his Jewish faith, not mindful of the man s origins or clothing or status or ability to repay. Isaiah, James, and Jesus in Mark s Gospel all call us to look more deeply to find where the will of God needs to be done, and has been done, on earth as in heaven.
