La Salette Reflections�

Fr. Rene Butler, M.S�

Ransomed�

(25

th

Ordinary Sunday: Amos 8:4�7; 1 Timothy 2:1�8; Luke

16:1�13)�

The dishonest steward of today’s parable was a clever

man. In danger of losing everything, he compounded his

crimes and acted boldly to ensure his future. Even the

master whom he was cheating had to give him credit for

his foresightedness.�

The steward embezzled his employer’s property to save

himself. Jesus applies this in a curious way to his

disciples: “I tell you, make friends for yourselves with

dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be

welcomed into eternal dwellings.”�

While the first reading and the Gospel focus on money,

St. Paul writes: “There is one mediator between God and

men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as ransom

for all.” Here all the readings converge.�

A ransom is the price paid to secure the release of

captives. In our case, however, no money exchanged

hands. In 1 Peter 1:18�19, we read: “You were ransomed

from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not

with perishable things like silver or gold but with the

precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished

lamb.”�

Twice in the Gospel text, money is described as

dishonest, and Jesus states emphatically that we cannot

serve it and God at the same time. �

At La Salette, Mary did not mention money, but she spoke

a lot about the local economy, which was, quite naturally,

an ongoing concern of the people of the area; in 1846, it

was rapidly becoming an obsession. If the crops

continued to fail, disaster was inevitable.�

The Beautiful Lady acknowledged that reality. Referring to

the potatoes, she said, “By Christmas this year, there will

be none left.”�

Besides sympathizing with her people’s plight, however,

she had something to teach them. Not being able to serve

two masters, they had made the wrong choice. Their

devotion to the hope of prosperity for its own sake had left

them, literally, unsatisfied. Mary speaks clearly:

abundance is possible, “if they are converted.”�

In other words, we need to recognize that we have been

ransomed, and at what a price! This shows us just how

precious we are in God’s sight.�

everything, leading Abby Johnson to join her former

Show appreciation for our priests�

Priesthood Sunday � September 28th & 29th�

The gift of prayer is a beautiful way for parishioners to

show appreciation for our priests. With your prayers

(Spiritual Bouquets), a parishioner gives the offering of a

Holy Rosary, Mass, an hour of Eucharistic Adoration, a

Chaplet of Divine Mercy or other personal prayers to

another person. For Priesthood Sunday, we are giving

these Spiritual Bouquets to our priests to lift them up and

show them how much we appreciate them and their daily

sacrifices.��

You may find the Spirtual Bouquet forms in this week’s

bulletin, on the parish website, at the welcome desk or on

the information table in the Parish Center. Please turn

them in to the Reception Desk or in the designated

baskets in the Narthex of the church and in St. Joseph’s

Chapel by Friday, September 27th. They will be presented

at all Masses on Priesthood Sunday.��

Letter to a Suffering Church �

Discussion Group�

Our parish has decided to read through

the ‘Letter to a Suffering Church’ book

together, and as a follow up to this book

distribution we will be hosting Reflective

Small Group Gatherings at Mary’s

House on Thursday, September 26th

from 9:15 � 11:15 AM & 6:30 � 8:30 PM

and on Sunday, September 29th from 2:00 � 4:00 PM.

It’s a chance for you to dialogue with fellow parishioners, to

share your thoughts, questions, concerns, observations

and prayers about this important topic.�

consultative body in dioceses and parishes of the Roman

Catholic Church that serves to advise the parish priest

about pastoral matters to recommend to the parish priest

or bishop as appropriate.�

full communion with the Catholic Church and 18 years of

age or older. Pastoral Council members serve a 3 year

term and are elected through a discernment process.

on Sunday, September 29, 2019 from 1:00 � 4:00 PM.

The nominees must also have a commitment to all

Council monthly meetings (third Thursday of the month)

and extracurricular responsibilities. Parishioners may self�

nominate to serve the Pastoral Council.�

“For the Son of man also came not to be served but to serve,

and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45�

2019 Pastoral Council Nomination Forms can be

found on�line, at the Welcome Desk in the Church

Narthex, and at the Reception Desk in the Parish

Center. In addition, current Pastoral Council

serve at all weekend Masses, as well as special Masses

throughout the year.�Mary Queen needs more volunteers

to serve our parish as Ushers at all the Masses.� If you

desire to join a ministry, but are unsure about which one �

prayerfully consider serving our parish as an Usher.�It is a

rewarding service open to men, women and responsible

children. If you have questions, please ask an Usher at

any of the Masses or contact James McConnell,

Prayer for Hurricane Season: Dear God, our Father, Creator of the Universe and Lord over all creation, we humbly

stand before you as your children and ask that you keep us safe from all hurricanes which may threaten us. Protect us

from all fear and anxiety of storms and give us ardent trust and hope in Your love and mercy. You alone have the power

to command the sea, the wind, and the rain. You alone bring peace, calm, and safety. Father, we thank you in advance,

for you are our only Refuge. We ask this through Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,

one God, forever and ever. Amen �
