A Cup of Joe

Greetings in Christ!�

�

Welcome to October...I love this month.�

�

I wanted to give you a little more information on the priest

convocation from the diocese.Personally, I think the

best�part for me was the diocese inviting us to strip away

all the "duties" of priesthood and

look at who we are called�to be. We

looked at the promises we made

back when we were ordained, we

looked at a sheet that the diocese

made with specific things that priests

are called to do, for example "Are

you in a support group?" or "Are you

faithfully praying your brevia-

ry?"� Things like that.�It was a good

challenge for me and the group I

was assigned to also found it helpful.�

�

Beyond that, there was a lot of talk

about Catholic Schools and the RRM (Realigning Re-

sources Mission). I think the most fascinating aspect was

that the Witness to Hope Campaign gave the diocese a

chance to offer assistance to people who needed it to

send their kids to school. What the Witness to Hope al-

lowed was about $500,000 in aid, but the applications for

aid tend to exceed $2,400,000 each year.�We are looking

at aggressive plans to fill that gap so that everyone who

wants to go to Catholic school can.��

�

This is a goal at our parish as well.�Right now at Holy

Family, the Cost to Educate (CTE) is just under $6,000 per

child, but our tuition is nowhere�near that.�Our Parish Fam-

ily has stepped up tremendously to help us fill the gap be-

tween what we charge for tuition and what it actually costs

and I pray we are in a position to continue doing this for a

long time.�There were a lot of stats from a massive data

gathering that showed how going to Catholic Schools as

young people radically increases the possibility that that

child will continue to go to Church when they get older.�I

think the wildest stat was this: while only 3% of Catholic

kids go to a Catholic school, Catholic school graduates

account for 45% of our priests. How amazing is that?�

�

As our secular system continues to fall into modern think-

ing that what the Church teaches is harmful, we have to

work all the harder to ensure that every Catholic who

wants has an opportunity to go to a Catholic school.�We

are not alone in this! The diocese recognizes that every

parish with a school needs some help and is working on

really creative ways to help.�I'll keep us updated as things

go.�

�

All through the days of convocation, I sat there grateful for

you all.�I have found such a wonderful home here and it is

because of all of you.�I thank you for loving me as I am

and challenging me to be better.�

�

God bless you all!�

Everyday Stewardship

Recognize God in Your Ordinary Moments�

�

If Heaven were like Harvard�

�

There’s no getting around it: life on earth can seem easier

if you’re rich. Most of the bodily and material needs a per-

son could have are fulfilled if you’ve got a little bit of mon-

ey behind you. So why doesn’t this same theory apply to

entering the kingdom of Heaven? Why isn’t Heaven like an

Ivy League school, where a connection and a hasty tuition

check might open a lot of doors? �

�

When you think about it, the virtues required to enter

Heaven � things like charity and justice and courage �

should be even closer within the grasp of those who never

had to worry about where their food is coming from. In the-

ory, your capacity for good works should only increase

with the resources at your disposal.�

�

The same is true for stewardship potential. Let’s say I’ve

got a lot of talent. Maybe I’ve got a lot of free time. On pa-

per, it should be easier for me to give freely of these gifts,

because I have the luxury that eluded the widow and her

two coins: I can see my ample gift being put into action,

when so many can only offer what they have and remind

themselves that God sees it and appreciates it.�

�

But here we get into the mess of humanity: if we have a lot

of something, it means we have a lot of something we

could use any way we want. And then we hear the whisper

of the serpent: Think of what this (money, time, talent)

could do for you.�

�

May we pray for God to give us the heart of the widow, no

matter our resources.�

Knights of Columbus

Baby Bottles for Life

The Knights of Columbus councils in Gene-

see County are taking on an initiative in Flint

that should certainly help Defend Life for the

unborn. This initiative is to place three Ultra-

sounds in the city of Flint by the end of 2021.�

��

The locations for these Ultrasounds include

the Pregnancy Resource Center on Saginaw St., Preg-

nancy Help Clinic on Flushing Rd (presently under renova-

tion), and The Luke Project 52 of Flint.�

��

The cost for these three Ultrasounds is approximately

$110,000 with 50% being funded by our local Knights of

Columbus councils and parish communities throughout the

county and the other 50% being funded by the Supreme

Council, headquarters of the Knights of Columbus.�

��

You can help with your donation to these Ultrasounds

through your local Knights Baby Bottle Drive and/or a one�

time contribution. Any time over the next couple months,

full baby bottles or cash/checks can be placed in the bottle

collection box in the gathering space. Checks should be

written to KofC Council 6742 with ultrasound in memo line.�

F o l l o w i n g O u r F a i t h

October 15: St. Teresa of Jesus (Avila)�

St. Teresa of Ávila was the founder of the Discalced Car-

melites, which was a reform movement within the Carmel-

ite Order. In her work of reform, she worked very closely

with St. John of the

Cross. She wrote

several important

works, including her

autobiography, Life

of Teresa of Avila,

and her most influen-

tial work, The Interior

Castle, in which she

talks about the mysti-

cal life in terms of

seven mansions.

These mansions

show the growth in

intimacy between the

believer and God. St.

Teresa was the first woman ever to be declared a Doctor

of the Church (1970).�

Gospel Meditation

Encourage Deeper Understanding of Scripture�

�

If we are truly in love with God, then the basics are not

going to be enough. That love is going to want to be ex-

pressed in going above and beyond, in leaving the com-

fortable and familiar, in stretching and growing, and in fol-

lowing a voice other than our own. St. Teresa of Calcutta

rightly instructs us that for “love to be real, it must cost, it

must hurt, it must empty us of self.” Being in love with

God requires more than just checking the boxes of the

commandments. It requires a sincere and unconditional

self�investment. Desiring God with our whole heart, mind,

and soul means that I must also desire a relationship with

my neighbor with that same degree of fervor. �

�

Biases and prejudices usually occur when people are kept

at a distance and treated as objects. We cannot truly know

our neighbors, especially if they are different than us, if we

keep them in boxes and do not listen to their stories. When

we open ourselves to listen to another person’s story, we

begin to realize more how similar we are than dissimilar.

Being overly attached to our possessions, ideologies,

agendas, lifestyles, and personal needs are absolute barri-

ers to achieving the type of personal investment love de-

mands. This is why following Christ can be difficult. It is

less a matter of intellect and more a matter of heart and

soul. It requires that we transfer our treasure from an in-

vestment in tangible secular things and move it into the

Kingdom of God. It is only the gift of wisdom and discern-

ment that can help us decide what to do and how to do it.�

�

Contemporaries of Jesus would know that a camel could

not enter through the portal of a city weighed down with

the baggage it was carrying. In order to enter, the baggage

must be removed so that the animal could fit through the

entry way. The same is true for us. We carry a lot of ex-

cessive baggage around with us that keeps us tethered to

our past histories, wounds, myopic world views, prejudic-

es, fears, and suspicions. To invest ourselves in the King-

dom of God, do God’s work and live out our love relation-

ship with God, we need to shed the extra weight. While it

may seem that a lot of that stuff is necessary, it really is

not. We are much more than the things that we think de-

fine us and more secure than we think. The more there is

to hold on to and the more that we carry with us, the hard-

er it will be to leave it all behind. Many choose not to and

walk away sad because they are not ready to trust. �

A Catholic Parent’s Prayer

O Gracious God, O Divine Parent,�

�

You know better than anyone how much I want to do right

by my kids. I can only do this with your help, by the power

of your Spirit working in me:�

�

Help me to put faith at the center of our family ��

�

�To make prayer, Sunday worship, Christian service and

growing in our faith regular, normal, non�negotiable

parts of our family life,�

�To confidently live, model and talk about faith at home,�

�To be meaningfully involved at church,�

�To seek and seize opportunities to learn about and

deepen my own faith and love, and�

�To give and get support with other parents.�

�

I pray for courage, stamina and resilience over the long

haul:�

�

�To be a strong leader in the “domestic Church” that is

our family,�

�To stand up for what’s most important and put it at the

center of our family’s life, and to let go of what’s not,�

�To make the tough decisions that need to be made

about my kids’ activities and priorities, so as�

�To lead them into lives of deep faith, hope and love in

this world, and eternal life in the next.�

�

I dedicate myself today to this, your call to me as a parent,

in the name of Jesus.�

�

Amen.�
