Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 19, 2016

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 19: Dynamic Catholic, Alive! – The Jesus Question “Who do you say that I am?” We must give an answer to this ques-tion, an answer that determines how we live our lives. If we truly believe that Christ is Lord, we take up our crosses daily and follow Him. This means we are to conform ourselves to Him until He is formed in us (CCC, 562). We can take simple steps today to grow in the Four Signs of prayer, study, generosity, and evangelization. As we read in the Catechism, “The disciple of Christ must not only keep the faith and live on it, but also profess it, confidently bear witness to it, and spread it” 1816). archstl.org/dynamic

From the Pastor’s Pen:

Wrapping up

In various ways these past weeks, people have asked or com-

mented on a variation of the same question. Sometimes it

comes out as: “Why are you leaving?” or “Why does the Arch-

bishop move priests around?” Or even “Did you have any say in

the transfer?” St. Paul, no stranger to frequent ‘transfers’

himself, had a profound answer to those questions in today’s

2nd reading. He says simply: “I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me.”

If this move were just on the ‘human level’ – then it makes

absolutely no sense whatsoever. I am with people whom I love.

And two ministries that I love. (And close to the golf course I

love.) It is what I have known these past 16 years. Besides,

after enduring 2 years of a messed up Natural Bridge, they

finally got the street looking lovely… If this world were all

that there is, then I would exercise my ‘right’ as a pastor to

‘not be moved without my permission.’

As people of faith, though, we know a bit better, don’t we?

“HERE” is not everything. It is a good thing, no doubt, but at

the end of the day, we are all just passing through. And like

the pledge of celibacy that makes no sense without a referent

to the divine plan and the Kingdom of Heaven, the choice to be

obedient - the choice to listen to the call of the Holy Spirit

when S/He invites me to follow - only makes sense if there is a

God. That is the gamble that I have staked my life, as well as

my death upon.

If you heard Gary Uthoff’s speech in the parish center, he

quoted (impressively) Karl Rahner, one of the great minds and

theologians of the last century. “In those moments when we are faced with the question of how we are to cope when things or people are taken from us we can protest, despair, become cynical and cling all the more desperately and absolutely to what has been taken from us. But it is better to abandon with resignation what has been taken from us and accept them as events of grace.” I do trust this is an event of grace. And like St. Paul, I try to

live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me. Because I

have experienced how well Jesus has loved me, and how well

you have loved me, I can go forward in great confidence.

Thank you for that gift.

Let me leave you with one quote that my classmate put on the

‘memorial card’ for his ordination/first mass weekend.

"The will of God will not lead you where the power of God will not sustain you." St. Augustine

ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL: We are trying to finalize the ACA drive for 2016. Please return your card as soon as possible. We have to return all cards to the Archdio-cese.
