From the Pastor Today’s readings remind us of the fact that it is God who guides us, and it is God who influences our decisions through the Holy Spirit. Today’s Gospel is again a series of parables shared by our Lord Jesus to
teach us and to explain Holy Scripture.
Jesus tells the Parable of the Weeds and the Wheat, which is relatively clear to us in terms of the facts. However, there is an important point within it that we must acknowledge. When the decision is made to allow the weeds to grow with the wheat, it is clear the separation will occur later, not at that moment. When the decision is made as to what will be harvested and kept and what will be destroyed, that is a decision made by God.
It is somewhat a reflection of another point made in scripture. Today’s Gospel comes to us from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 13; however, in just a few chapters prior to that (Chapter 7) we are told “Stop judging, that you may not be judged…for as you judge, so will you be judged.” There is no question that there are “weeds” among the flock, but it is not our place to identify them and sort them out. That is the work of God.
As Catholics and Christians we must take care not to be self-righteous and judgmental. Before we call into question someone else’s walk with God, we need to scrutinize and take care of our own. Stewardship is what we do, not what we necessarily think others should do.
Stewardship Corner
Pastoral Ponderings In reviewing the survey, as one might expect, you can get divergent and even contradictory responses. For example, in referring to the homilies, one person writes: “Homilies are outstanding. They are well thought out…[they] encourage me to challenge my faith journey and be ever more present in my faith” vs. “We have been very disappointed in the homilies with regards to their relevance to our daily lives and struggling to attend Mass.” Each individual is at a different place in his or her spiritual life.
With that being said, the task of the homilist is to try to provide a message that elucidates the Scriptures, teaches the faith, and encourages folks to go and live the faith proclaimed. Some of the things that we have been doing over the past several months, following our participation in The Amazing Parish Conference is to have a weekly discussion about the readings for the upcoming Sunday in order to hone in on the common message that we would like to impart. Each priest and deacon has his own particular style, but the hope is that whatever Mass you attend, the message is essentially the same.
We also look for feed back about the past weekend and the message presented. This, of course, takes time and energy, but the dividends have been very good. At least for me, I have a deeper appreciation for the Scriptural theme and being able to hear how others, especially the laity, apply the message to their lives has been extremely beneficial to my preaching.
I think I can speak for all of the preachers in the parish in saying that we are happy for constructive feedback which gives us new insights or makes us aware of particular struggles in the lives of parishioners. So, by all means, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts. While it is true that we cannot cater the homily to every individual, we can certainly work harder to bring the message in a way that can be better grasped and incorporated into daily life.
Blessings,

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land
Fr. Cory Catron is leading a 10-day pilgrimage to the Holy Land September 10-21, 2017. This trip will include four nights in Jerusalem, three nights at the Sea of Galilee and two nights in Jerusalem.
We will visit Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jericho, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, and we will have daily Mass at many of these holy sites. Each day, while in Jerusalem, we will have early morning Mass in the Tomb of Christ and on Calvary. We will have a Holy Hour in the Garden of Gethsemane one evening and will experience the real Stations of the Cross. We will see the places where Jesus was born, where He lived and, ultimately, where He died.
Those who are married will get a chance to renew their wedding vows in Cana. We will have a one hour boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and a brown scapular enrollment on Mt Carmel.

Women of Joy Prayer Group and Scripture Study - Fall 2017
Thursday Morning Study Sept. 7 – Dec. 7; 10 am – 12:30 pm Msgr. Kerin Family Center;
Come and be transformed by Sr. Gertrude Gillette’s Study on Humility. Her lecture is based on the work of Dom Bernard Bonowitz OCSO, entitled Saint Bernard’s Three Course Banquet: Humility, Charity and Contemplation in the De Gradibus (Monastic Wisdom Series, Liturgical Press). This book was originally conceived for monks and nuns who had completed their novitiate, but had not yet made their solemn vows. By partaking in this study, we will enjoy one of the purest sources of the Monastic Tradition, which at that depth becomes one with the Gospel itself. There is a non-refundable cost of $40.00 for the Study, not including the book. Affordable babysitting is available for preschool age and younger.
Contact: Cindy Brown, 704-491-3945 Thursday Evening Study Sept. 14 – Dec. 7; 7 – 9 pm Msgr. Kerin Family Center
The evening study is entitled “Who am I to Judge?” By Dr. Edward Sri (Ignatius Press). Pope Francis calls relativism the “spiritual poverty of our times.” This study brings clarity and gives us an important key to responding to relativism effectively through a Catholic moral worldview. There is a non-refundable cost of $25 for the Study.
Contact: Jennifer Creter, 980-253-0882 Registration and additional information for both studies can be found on the St. Mark website at stmarknc.org/WOJ. New members are always welcome!

Julio- mes de la Preciosa Sangre Oración de la Sangre de Cristo Señor Jesús, en tu nombre y con el Poder de tu Sangre Preciosa sellamos toda persona, hechos o acontecimientos a través de los cuales el enemigo nos quiera hacer daño. Con el Poder de la Sangre de Jesús sellamos toda potestad destructora en el aire, en la tierra, en el agua, en el fuego, debajo de la tierra, en las fuerzas satánicas de la naturaleza, en los abismos del infierno, y en el mundo en el cual nos movemos hoy. Con el Poder de la Sangre de Jesús rompemos toda interferencia y acción del maligno. Te pedimos Jesús que envíes a nuestros hogares y lugares de trabajo a la Santísima Virgen acompañada de San Miguel, San Gabriel, San Rafael y toda su corte de Santos Ángeles. Con el Poder de la Sangre de Jesús sellamos nuestra casa, todos los que la habitan (nombrar a cada una de ellas), las personas que el Señor enviará a ella, así como los alimentos y los bienes que Él generosamente nos envía para nuestro sustento. Con el Poder de la Sangre de Jesús sellamos tierra, puertas, ventanas, objetos, paredes, pisos y el aire que respiramos, y en fe colocamos un círculo de Su Sangre alrededor de toda nuestra familia. Con el Poder de la Sangre de Jesús sellamos los lugares en donde vamos a estar este día, y las personas, empresas o instituciones con quienes vamos a tratar (nombrar a cada una de ellas). Con el Poder de la Sangre de Jesús sellamos nuestro trabajo material y espiritual, los negocios de toda nuestra familia, y los vehículos, las carreteras, los aires, las vías y cualquier medio de transporte que habremos de utilizar. Con Tu Sangre preciosa sellamos los actos, las mentes y los corazones de todos los habitantes y dirigentes de nuestra Patria a fin de que Tu Paz y Tu Corazón al fin reinen en ella. Te agradecemos Señor por Tu Sangre y por Tu Vida, ya que gracias a Ellas hemos sido salvados y somos preservados de todo lo malo. Amén.
