SAINT OF THE WEEK:
St Teresa Benedicta
of the Cross
August 9th
Born in 1891 to a prominent Jewish
family in Poland, Edith Stein became
a brilliant philosopher at a young age.
She stopped believing in God and
abandoned Judaism. However, she became captivated
reading the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila and was
baptized Catholic at age 31. She became a Carmelite nun and
took the name Teresa Benedicta in the Netherlands. In 1940,
the Nazis occupied the Dutch country and arrested all Jews
including those who became Christians. St Teresa and her
sister were taken to Auschwitz and were killed in the gas
chamber. St Teresa's writings and her life demonstrated she
was a woman of integrity, following the truth wherever it led
and placing her life in God's hands.
COORDINATOR(S) for the PARISH PICNIC NEEDED: We need a small
committee to plan event, get volunteers and oversee what happens on the day of the picnic (Sunday, Sept.8). Contact Father Kiko for more information.

Weekly Message from Deacon Rob on the Readings for Ordinary Time
Riches –This word carries both positive and negative images.
Throughout human history, mankind has been absorbed with a
plethora of images and definitions of what it means to be a “rich”
person. Is a rich person someone who has acquired mammon and lives
a life of luxury or is it a person who has established a good relationship
with God and his fellow man? Are these two visions exclusive of each
other or is it possible to possess both? In today’s liturgy, the Liturgy of
the Word tackles the definition and vision of this indeterminate and
ambiguous word. The human vision and definition can drastically differ
from the Divine and the consequences of that vision are immutable and
eternal. Today’s liturgy compels its participants to reconsider and
reject the vision of the world that centers around mammon and its
definition of “rich”. It suggests that the Christian should expound and
promote the Divine vision in order to acquire and reveal the
immutable and the desirable denotation and connotation of that word.
The Divine vision of the rich requires Agape or sacrificial love that
comes with true Wisdom, topics of preceding weeks.
In our first reading from the Book of Ecclesiastes, the “teacher”
philosophizes over the concept of wealth. Referring to the “vanity” of
mankind, the author uses the Hebrew word, “hebel” which means vapor
or puff of air. In his wisdom, the philosopher reminds all that material
things are unimportant as they are left behind when death comes and
soon decay or fade away. Thus, to the author of this Biblical Book, the
constant struggle by man to acquire mammon is folly. It is not
surprising, then, that the teacher rejects the human concept of the
word, “riches” and places his belief in the Divine who must be feared
and revered first and foremost. It is noteworthy, though, that the fear
promoted here is not terror; rather, it is awe and reverence for God
who has created everything. The vain individual centers his life around
himself shutting the Divine out. He can no longer “fear” the Lord
because the vanity he displays creates a barrier that God will not
forcibly break violating our free will. Instead, the author of
Ecclesiastes advocates a proper perspective by mankind that places
God first and mankind second. Thus, the author creates a foundation
for the riches sought by the Christian who embraces the Gospel of
Christ. Through the Christ, a fissure is created through which
life-giving grace may flow.
In the second reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Colossians,
the Apostle to the Gentiles expresses the Divine definition of a rich
person. Here, Paul directs the Christian to focus not on earthly
mammon, but rather, upon Christ who rose from the Dead and sits in
Heavenly Glory with the Father. The apostle reminds the Colossians
that they have “died” and that their life is hidden within the Lord. Their
destiny rests with Him who shall return to reign. With His return,
their incorruptibility and eternal existence shall also be realized. Paul
emphasizes the corruptibility of mammon and those who seek it while
those who have opened their hearts to God can accept the “riches” of
God. These individuals will have what is truly desirable – “…the new
self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its
creator”. Thus, Paul affirms the “new creation” and the “new
Jerusalem” destined for those who accept Christ as Lord. The “rich”
person is one who imitates agape – sacrificial love. Focus on God
brings unimaginable wealth.
The Liturgy of the Word concludes with the Gospel according to Luke
with Christ, Himself, advocating the Divine definition of “rich”. Jesus
affirms the vanity or corruptibility of the wealth that the worldly man
seeks. Using a parable, the Savior, like the philosopher in the first
reading, highlights the folly of centering your life around worldly
riches. He tells the story of a rich man whose wealth has been acquired
at the expense of others. Luke uses the word “pleonexia” implying
fraud and cheating. Instead of acquiring his wealth in consultation with
God, the man has created a barrier that hardens his heart and focuses
only upon himself. The point here that Jesus is making is clear –
worldly riches are not innately bad but how one acquires and uses
them can be. Christ is emphasizing that excluding the Divine corrupts
and destroys the well-being of the individual. Jesus is demonstrating
where the priorities of a person should rest if they will truly benefit
from worldly possessions. The parable shows that the man has lost
sight of true Wisdom and has encased himself within an impenetrable
wall. This self-centering makes agape love impossible and threatens the
eternal existence.
Holy Mother the Church wants her children to realize the vanity that
the world offers. She is calling all her children to put their life into
proper perspective. She asks us to focus on the Divine and “fear” the
Lord through proper prayer and adoration. She reminds us that the
wealth that the comes from the world is only a tool to use in order to
hone our spiritual welfare and relationship with God. Our actions
should not be focused upon our own private existence but upon the
condition and welfare of mankind and the planet that we all share. God
gives us opportunities to exhibit our faith while we work to build His
Kingdom on Earth. As we have divided the planet into countries and
cultures, Holy Mother the Church reminds us that we are charged with
the care of all. We are one people and one Church created by God
and ruled by Jesus. We must remember the Commandment, “Love
God and your neighbor as yourself.” If we truly “fear” God, we will
not be afraid of Him but we will hold Him in awe and reverence as we
respect His wishes and love each other. By allowing the Divine Grace
to enter us we will discover true Wisdom and true wealth both of
which will be imperishable.
