A Note from the PastorOur Sunday Gospel readings continue Luke’s account of Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem. Along the way, his words and deeds are meant to disabuse the disciples of their hope that he is the Messiah in the tradition of David and Solomon. With Isaiah’s “suffering servant” as his model, Jesus reveals the coinage required of those who would be disciples of a suffering messiah: you don’t treat those who oppose/reject you with “fire from heaven;” the neighbor to be loved isn’t one of your “kind” but whoever treats others with mercy; women are equal to men when it comes to accessing and living the Gospel. And today, Jesus undercuts any conviction that God has to be persuaded to hear and attend to our needs – even when we might be judged unworthy of such attention. As I’ve mentioned these last few Sundays, this “journey narrative” of Luke will be costly for the disciples. They’re being asked to shed age-old certainties of how to live and dreams of what the fulfillment of God’s promises will look like. Come Jesus arrival in Jerusalem, they’ll discover that the coinage that Jesus has to offer is nothing less than the Cross. When I think of “coinage,” I recall the saying of a friar who kept the books during my days in our student house: “Only I really know the cost of discipleship.” It was a flippant take on a serious book, “The Cost of Discipleship,” written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor and theologian who figured prominently in the Germany’s ant-Nazi resistance. He was hanged two-weeks before the war’s end. He could have died in bed. Bonhoeffer was in the US in 1938, but opted to return to Germany as its government became more extreme and popular. He felt that, if he was to have a credible role in redeeming his country, he had to have a share in its present sufferings. We memorialize those who suffered as Bonhoeffer did. And in our memorializing we give thanks that we live in a nation and world where such a history would never be repeated. We are convinced that no modern nation would ever again see the treatment of a particular people as the “final solution” to that nation’s problems. But even as Germany’s Jews were being singled out, many of them didn’t flee, believing that what we call the Holocaust was impossible. Germany was a nation of culture and learning. It was a Christian nation. Many German Jews - and Gentiles – couldn’t believe that such a nation would ever allow itself to act as it did. The lessons taught on the way to Jerusalem were obviously not well-learned, and there were too few Bonhoeffers.

4th Annual School Supply Drive and Backpack BlessingThe start of school is around the corner! The Young Family Youth Group is excited to sponsor the 4th annual School Supply Drive and Backpack
Blessing to continue to serve the students and schools in our area. This year we are doing a more general collection to take to 5 local schools to distribute as they see student or teacher need. We are collecting dry erase markers, card stock, construction paper, glue sticks, #2 sharpened
pencils, colored pencils, 24 packs of crayons, highlighters, and scissors. If you are able to donate any of the above supplies, please bring them to
Mass before August 11 and place them in the labeled boxes in the vestibule. If you don’t want to haul school supplies to Mass but want to help, monetary donations for supplies can be placed in an envelope labeled for Young Family Youth Group in the collection basket before August 11 or brought to the Church Office. If a check, please make it out to Saint Andrew Church. Thank you so much for the generosity the parish has shown the previous three years, and we hope to have an even better year this year! Please contact Jennifer Summer ([email protected]) or Rachael Bowers ([email protected]) with any questions. And save the date for our Backpack Blessing service on Sunday, August 11, at the 8:30 Mass with a supply event to follow in Brimley Hall.

Social Justice Bob Fennell • [email protected] week’s tithe goes to Mary’s Pence to invest in women across the Americas by funding community initiatives and fostering collaborations to create social change. They recognize the inherent dignity of every person, especially women and others who are marginalized. Equity for all must include the right to health care, education, productive and meaningful work, food security, shelter, and freedom from violence. Each person has the right and responsibility to participate economically, politically, and culturally in society and in the home. Women’s full participation is essential for strong communities and a just society. Mary’s Pence has privilege and influence. It is our responsibility to accompany women working for justice by listening deeply and providing funding and responsive support. Mary’s Pence believes in collective power. Change happens when those most impacted by injustice are integrally involved in creating solutions. For more information, go to www.MarysPence.org
