TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
GOSPEL MEDITATION "This saying is hard; who can accept it?" The words of Jesus' disciples in today's Gospel must sound familiar. At some point in our lives, you and I have said it about some article of our faith. Christianity makes firm demands on our ethical behavior and gives no easy answers for suffering. Many disciples were confused and dismayed by Jesus' words in the Bread of Life Discourse. Not all of them, however, had the same reaction. When the disciples question Jesus' teaching, he confirms its truth. "The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." For some, Jesus' reassurance was not enough. These disciples do not question Jesus further or wrestle with their lack of understanding. The mighty deeds Jesus has done fade to the background. "Many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him." For them, their doubt proves too much. Jesus turns to the Twelve, knowing that confusion lives in their hearts as well. Peter answers. "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God." Notice this is not a confession of perfect understanding. It is a confession of faith in Jesus. The precise words may still confuse them, but they believe the One who said them. In our own lives, we face doubt, confusion, and disillusionment in our Christian faith. The same choice available to the disciples is available to us. Do you have faith in Jesus, even when you lack perfect understanding? Will you stay or will you go? What do you do with your doubt?
LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
Jesus' teaching is hard and challenging. In fact,
many who originally believed in him left and
returned to their former way of life. They were not
able to accept what he had to say or to make the
changes that are necessary to conform their lives to
the Gospel. We often water down our faith and
Worship Corner-Cont’d Christian Formation Corner
make it more about securing our place in heaven
than leading a life in pursuit of the kingdom of God.
Following Jesus and living the Gospel require action
now. The Gospel demands that we change the way
we conduct the business of our lives. Sadly, many
are still afraid of taking risks and cannot accept
change. Are we really ready to venture forth into
the unknown, or would we prefer to simply return
to our old ways of doing things?
EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE GOD IN
YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS My wife has a hope
chest filled with items from her past. Some
memories contained in there are joyous, while
others are painful and filled with sorrow. However,
all those memories helped to make her the person
she is today. They have become a part of her very
being.
Traditionally, a hope chest contained linens and
clothing for a woman's wedding day. It was a chest
filled with the hope for the future. As time goes by,
many of our hopes are fulfilled. However, life never
goes exactly as planned. Some hopes are dashed by
unfortunate circumstances or bad choices we have
made.
Our hearts are like hope chests that long for the day
when we are joined for eternity with our God. Along
the way, our chest may accumulate additional items
that we collect on our life's journey. If we are
gracious and generous along the way, our chest will
fill with fruit to abundance. If we live more with a
focus on ourselves, we will find our hope chests
nearly barren. We will, in fact, lose hope. May the
hope chest of your heart be overflowing with love
that you have freely given and that has come back
to you tenfold. May your generosity provide hope
for the hopeless, and may your hope always remain
strong. --Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

If you feel at all called to perhaps serve in some role, big or small, in our middle school, high school, or Confirmation preparation ministry, please contact Mr. Steven to discuss the many ways in which you might be able to help. And remember – God doesn’t call the strong… God strengthens the called!!

volunteer to feed lunch to the homeless at St.
Peter’s church. They do this on the 5th Tuesday of
the month. The duties are preparing, serving, and
clean up. St. Peter’s Catholic Church is located at 8th
and Grace. This is a very worthwhile ministry and
the volunteers enjoy their service very much.
Father Gino Rossi is the pastor and he has a passion
for helping the poor and neglected. Father Rossi
has made changes and improvements, which
include installing showers for the homeless to use
and renovating the kitchen in the basement where
meals are served. St. Peter’s is always in need of
hygiene and personal care items, which are given to
those they serve. Whatever you have extra will be
greatly appreciated. Here is the list: socks,
underwear, travel size soap, women’s pads,
toothbrushes, travel size toothpaste, chapstick,
travel size sunblock, razors, lotion, Depends liners,
combs and hair ties. If you care to participate,
please label your items (St. Peter’s) and place them
in the food box in the foyer. God bless you for your
generosity!
