22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time September 1st 2019 Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29 + Hebrews 12:18-19, 2224a + Luke 14:1, 7-14 In today’s Gospel reading we see people vying for places of honor. Jesus, however, challenges us to do just the opposite: to seek the “lowest place.” While many in the world compete for worldly prestige and honor, Jesus is asking Christians to outdo one another in the practice of true humility. Real honor comes from seeking the glory of God, not the praise of men. We know from our experience that the honors of this world are fleeting. The trophy, the new position, the praise from your boss, and the time visiting with a famous person will not fulfill us. They ultimately are just smoke that will blow away and leave us only hungering for more. And when we seek recognition from others or go out of our way to draw attention to ourselves, our quest for worldly glory distracts us from finding our true identity and fulfillment in life which come from God alone. If we seek the “lowest place” with sincerity, however, we will have more room for God in our hearts. God will see our humility and bless us. He also will give us the ultimate reward—a place in his presence forever. • Today’s readings draw our attention to the virtue of true humility. Take a moment to think of a humble person. What qualities does this person possess that makes him or her humble? • In the Gospel reading, Jesus encourages us not to seek out situations where we can draw praise and attention to ourselves, but to “take the lowest place.” What are some ways we can put this into practice? In other words, how might we seek out taking a

•

“lower place” in our families, workplace, parish, or communities? Picture yourself entering the feast. You see various distinguished guests— important people—walking toward the main tables to take their spots. There are also poor, simple people whom no one recognizes sitting near the back. Now imagine that you are told you can sit anywhere you want. Which seat would you desire in your heart to choose? Where do you think that Jesus would be sitting?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him” -Psalm 91:15

¡AHORA TENEMOS PERSONAL DISPONIBLE LOS DOMINGOS!

La Misa de las 8:30 a.m. los domingos ahora se celebra en el campus de S. John. (Antes tomaba lugar en el campus de S. Joseph, en Mainstreet.) Eso quiere decir que todas las Misas de la mañanas dominicales se van a celebrar en el campus de S. John. (La Misa de las 4:30 sábado sigue en el campus de S. Joseph.) Con tanta actividad pasando en el campus de S. John, tiene sentido tener una persona del personal presente cada domingo. Sheila Przesmicki, nuestra Coordinadora de Ministerios, va a trabajar durante estas horas para ayudar con cualquier necesidad que tenga la gente que no puedan hacer durante las horas normales de Oficina. Con todas las actividades y Misas del domingo en un campus, las personas que quisieran servir como familia pueden asistir una Misa juntas y servir o particpar en nuestros ministerios de liturgia o de niños durante otra Misa, sin tener que buscar otro tiempo durante la semana cuando toda la familia esté disponible. Esperamos que todos se enfoquen en los ministerios que aumentamos, y en las oportunidades para crecerse en el discipulado para llevar el Mensaje hacia la comunidad y las parroquias alrededor de nosotros. Les pido apoyar la misión que Dios nos confía y contribuir sus dones para ayudar a que San Gabriel forme discípulos crecientes de Jesucristo. Padre Liekhus
