Hospitality Ministers' Retreat

Saturday, September 22, 2018

9:00 a.m. to noon at the Catholic

Center (ABQ) No Cost – Must

RSVP please call the Office of

Worship at 505-831-8194.

"Jesus ? went by way of Sidon ? into the district of the Decapo-

lis." For most of Jesus' ministry, he remains in Galilee and areas

with a predominantly Jewish population. Today, however, we see

Jesus traveling through a heavily pagan area. This makes the ut-

terance of faith in today's Gospel all the more astounding. "He

has done all things well." In this story, a deaf man is brought to

Jesus. This man is not without community! Despite communica-

tion difficulties due to a speech impediment, his people bring him

before Jesus. Jesus lays hands upon the man and commands his

broken body to change. "'Be opened!' Immediately the man's ears

were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke

plainly." The community is stunned. They can't stop telling the

story. The more Jesus asks them to settle down, the more they

proclaim! The Jewish people expected a Messiah but a Messiah

with very particular qualifications. The Greeks and pagans antici-

pated no such savior. There were no expectations to meet. They

had a special capacity to be completely, utterly surprised.

As Catholics, it can be easy to become accustomed to the songs

and the prayers, to the routine of religious education drop-offs

and Sunday Mass attendance. By now, we may have very particu-

lar expectations. When was the last time you allowed yourself to

be surprised by God? Sometimes we are all like the deaf man in

today's Gospel. God wants to speak to us, but we can't hear

clearly. In your prayer this week, go before God honestly. Give

yourself permission to drop your expectations and assumptions.

Ask Him to renew your faith to show you how, in your life, "He

has done all things well."

Exaltation of the Holy

Cross

The cross was once the

most horrible way to die,

fit only for the lowest of

criminals

whose crimes were nailed

above their heads

as examples to those who

would see them.

Christ humbled himself,

by being born in a barn,

by living as a man, and by

dying on a cross

with the words "King of

the Jews" written

above his head for all to

see.

As Christ transformed

himself

through his death and res-

urrection,

and changed death from

something to be feared

to the beginning of new life,

he transformed the cross from an object of fear

to a symbol of hope,

and from a sign of death

to the greatest symbol of love, and everlasting life.

The parish office will be closed Tuesday, September 11th for

Staff Retreat.

Dear Parishioner

It has been a wonderful past six years that I have spent work-

ing among your midst. You were outstanding and lovely in

your treatment toward me. May God our Father bless every

child, youth and adult of this parish and may every Senior

citizen, family and friend be overwhelmed with the Lord’s

gentleness, love and peace. Please know that I will remember

you in prayer, and I will carry you with joy and love in my

heart. Till next time, if we don’t meet here on earth again, for
