BREAKING OPEN SCRIPTURE � AUGUST 30, 2020 � 22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Secular pursuits only bring a temporary amount of satisfaction and fulfillment. As much as we may think that achieving worldly success, economic security,
personal well-being, and self-fulfillment are worthy goals to obtain, they all are dependent on external variables and can lead to emptiness. We are trained to
be very pragmatic and productive. Unless we are able to check off all of the boxes or comply with specific measurable requirements, our value and worth
becomes questionable. Corporations, educational institutions, systems, structures, and secular ideology rarely consider deeper, more spiritual, and human
contributions a person can and needs to make.
To the secular mind, the wisdom and ideals of the Gospel are making less and less sense. Consider for a moment this question: “What profit would there be
for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” While Jesus is asking this very challenging question to people who are considering his message, many in
our world are in a quite different place. Whether we realize it, many folks are asking a much different question. Why would you not want to gain the whole
world and secure your life? If you look at where a lot of folks are investing their time, energy, and resources, it becomes obvious where current priorities rest.
Modern day comforts and possibilities are backing us out of our relationship with God. The fire burning in every human heart is trying to find its satisfaction
in the things that humans have created and not God. Being altruistic and offering compassion for those most in need becomes a political responsibility or
responsible gesture. We realize that our hearts need to be centered on something and someone who calls us out of ourselves, but we struggle and battle
with naming the source of that call. God places the desire to seek, find, and love Him in the core of every soul. We are not abandoned and left to fend for
ourselves. But we can easily get confused. We know that when we extend ourselves to another self-sacrificially, we are doing what is just and right. We know
that we can work through suffering and loss and come out better and more whole on the other side.
Our minds need to be renewed so that they can begin to understand that there is much more to who we are, and that faith plays a pivotal role in achieving
our true and everlasting goals. It is when we see that it is only faith that can bring us to this heightened awareness of ourselves and God that
it will begin to make sense. Then, we can put things in proper perspective and consider being a disciple.

RECOGNIZING GOD IN YOUR
ORDINARY MOMENTS
The Vision of Stewardship
— Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS
©LPi
. . . T h a t & T h i s
I love the original movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory. All the way through while I watch the film I still
laugh and feel like a child. It is only the last line with
which I have an issue. Wonka by now has chosen Char-
lie to succeed him as head of the chocolate factory.
They board an elevator that proceeds to crash through
the roof and begins to fly. Wonka then asks Charlie if
he ever heard of what happened to the boy who got
everything he ever wanted. After Charlie says no,
Wonka explains, “He lived happily ever after.” As I get
older, I can say I have met several people who got all
or most of all they have ever wanted, but unlike Charlie,
it did not lead to endless bliss. In fact, as a Christian I
know that that statement of Wonka’s is a lie. The secret
to living happily ever after lies in not getting all you ever
wanted, but instead in giving all you ever wanted away.
A person can’t have any sense of that reality until they
begin to see his or her life transformed by Jesus. When
we have accepted the challenge placed before us and
made a choice to live a certain way daily, we can find
ourselves transformed. Following Jesus is not easy, but
it is the only true way to find authentic joy. When we
have emptied ourselves and allowed him to fill the open
spaces in us, we become different. We are transformed
and, if enough of us in a parish community experience
the same journey, our parish is transformed as well.
Then we begin to transform the world around us. Don’t
be fooled: A flying elevator is cool, but it pales in
comparison to what can happen when we find a new
life in Jesus Christ.

TESTIMONIAL:�
�
“My name is Mary and I have been attending our parish
Bible Study for 2 years.� Our weekly sessions on
Wednesday mornings last for one hour.�We study the
old testament reading, the new testament reading and
the gospel reading for the Sunday weekend succeeding
our Wednesday class.�I have found the one hour �
session to be tremendously informative, the reading �
material very complete and the teaching is "down to
earth." When I attend the weekend Mass and hear the
readings, the concept, the purpose of the readings are
very meaningful and I fully understand the "lesson" of
the readings.�� �
�
I encourage our parishioners to attend our weekly bible
study ��I sincerely believe you will have a positive view
and you will realize the importance in the knowledge of
the scripture readings at the weekend Masses.”�
