The Word In Our Lives<br />
Gospel Reflection<br />
Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time<br />
“Counting Loaves”<br />
Usually, Jesus does not have to repeat himself.<br />
When he tells a cripple to get up and walk, or a blind man to<br />
wash his eyes, they do so and are immediately cured. In<br />
today’s gospel, however, the disciples do not drop everything<br />
to start feeding the crowd. Instead of trusting Jesus,<br />
they start counting loaves of bread. (Note that the crowd<br />
does not hesitate to sit down when Jesus tells them to.)<br />
After Jesus blesses the loaves and fish, the disciples finally<br />
obey.<br />
Like the disciples, I sometimes hesitate to follow<br />
Jesus’ <strong>com</strong>mands. Instead of trusting God <strong>com</strong>pletely, I<br />
find myself “counting loaves.” I might not have enough<br />
time to help the poor, or enough money to feed them. I<br />
might not have the words to <strong>com</strong>fort the dying, or to encourage<br />
someone who is depressed. I may be counting the<br />
chores I have to do at home. (Or counting the episodes of<br />
"Doctor Who” on my DVR that I haven’t watched yet.)<br />
The excuses begin to sound lame when I list them.<br />
So how do we get going? Maybe by listening to the first two<br />
readings. Isaiah asks why we spend money on things that<br />
won’t satisfy us. (Is 55:2) He tells us to heed the Lord’s<br />
words if we want to truly live. What God is telling us<br />
through Isaiah is that we wouldn’t be distracted by those<br />
excuses if we paid more attention to God and how much He<br />
loves us.<br />
St. Paul says it even more forcefully. He reminds<br />
us that nothing can separate us from God’s love, even<br />
things like distress, persecution, famine, or even death<br />
itself. These are more serious than any of my excuses.<br />
The point is that Jesus rose from the dead to show how<br />
much God loves us. Can’t I find time to spend with God<br />
and experience that love? Can’t I see it in the eyes of those<br />
who love me? Do I feel that love when God forgives my<br />
sins? The more I experience God’s love for me, the more<br />
likely I am to show that love to others, instead of just counting<br />
loaves.<br />
Questions of the Week<br />
Question for Children:<br />
What are the ways that Jesus shows He<br />
loves you?<br />
Question for Youth:<br />
How do you make sure that your life<br />
decisions correspond to your faith?<br />
Question for Adults:<br />
In your experience, what “false obstacles”<br />
have you or people you know experienced,<br />
separating them from Christ? Things such as<br />
divorce, or marrying outside the church, or<br />
not attending Mass, or others?<br />

Stewardship—A Disciple’s Response<br />
In today’s Gospel, Jesus feeds the five thousand with five<br />
loaves and two fish. The message of stewardship is that God’s<br />
gifts, shared, will always be more than enough.<br />

Stephen Ministry<br />
“Neither death, nor life, nor angels,<br />
nor principalities, nor present things,<br />
nor future things, nor powers, nor<br />
height, nor depth, nor any other<br />
creature will be able to separate us<br />
from the love of God in Christ Jesus<br />
our Lord.” Romans 8: 37-39<br />
Do you feel separated from God and<br />
alone in your struggles? Could a<br />
Stephen Minister help you know God’s<br />
love, His strength and His <strong>com</strong>passion?<br />
Ask A Priest, Deacon, or DRE<br />
I have seen people wearing rosaries as<br />
necklaces. Is this okay or is this wrong?<br />
It depends. Some religious orders wear a<br />
rosary as part of their habit, usually hanging from<br />
a belt. If the reason for wearing a rosary is a<br />
statement of faith, as a reminder to pray it, or<br />
some similar devotional reason - then it is okay -<br />
the rosary is still being used reverently and<br />
respectfully. However, a rosary is not just a<br />
piece of jewelry. If a person wears a rosary<br />
mockingly or treats it as just “another piece of<br />
jewelry,” then proper reverence and respect are<br />
not being shown. In some places in the United<br />
States, it has even been used as a sign of belonging<br />
to a gang - and this is not appropriate<br />
reverence or respect.<br />
If you would like to submit a question, please<br />
write it out and place it in the “Ask a Priest or<br />
Deacon” box, located in the back of church.

Sponsorship Program is now in the process of accepting<br />
<strong>com</strong>mitments to sponsor the beautiful children of<br />
Dupity for the year of 2011-2012. As a new school<br />
year approaches, it is easy to take the availability of<br />
education for granted. The children of Dupity do not<br />
have this luxury. Our support is the only way they<br />
will receive the education necessary to better their<br />
lives. If you feel God is calling you to support one of<br />
these children, or if you would just like more information,<br />
please contact Cathy Schroering (634-8063).
