2 Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor s Message Dear Parishioners, We have a need to give before giving to a need. That phrase is important when talking about the stewardship of talent. So often we hear, We need and many people fill that need and that is great. But, the unintended consequence of this approach is to feel that we do not have to give anymore. That is a false conclusion because we always have a need to give. Remember, when we are filling a need, our intention is focused upon our gift to God by our service. Our need to give comes from our serving God in this world and in the next. This is the whole reason we were created: God created us to know, love, and serve him. This weekend we are renewing our stewardship of time and talent in the pews and at the ministry fair after Mass. We do need people to fill a whole host of assignments. If we have the best intention possible, we will be doing more for God s sake than for any temporal need. The true sign that our hearts are in the right place is the level of our commitment. If nothing is going to stop us from doing our task, then we know we are doing so with the right reasons. Please make a stewardship of time and talent commitment today. Sincerely in Christ, Stewardship of Prayer Alpha Information Night Thursday, September 1 6:00pm to 8:00pm Alpha is a series of 10 weekly sessions exploring the Christian faith.

5 August 28, 2016 Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time We don t like the message of humbling ourselves any more, of course. That s not good for our self-esteem. But not to worry. Bidden or unbidden, opportunities for falling on our face are right around the corner. For example, today s parable actually happened to me once. My husband Ben and I had arrived at a wedding reception earlier than everyone else. We set our present on the table next to the cake, and randomly chose two chairs and sat down. Sure enough, when the wedding party arrived they headed straight for our table. We were actually sitting in the chairs reserved for the bride and groom. I ll never forget that moment of sheer humiliation when I realized that they were hovering around us, not because they wanted to talk with us more than any of their other guests but because they were waiting for us to move! Just remembering it now makes me blush from head to toe. Of course, after we speedily retreated to the last table in the room we both said, Can you believe that happened? We walked right into the wedding banquet story from Luke s gospel. Don t you love when you find a connection between your experience and a parable told by Jesus, the Master Storyteller? But here s the best connection of all: Invite people into your life who can t repay you, says Jesus. Cultivate friendships with those are humble in this world. The story has now taken an intimate turn, for it turns out that WE are the friends Jesus has cultivated. WE are the ones who can never repay him. He sought US out. That s the best place at any table. How does being a child of God foster humility in you?
