GO FORTH TO LOVE AND SERVE…
During Mass each week we say the Lord’s prayer, share a sign of peace and are sent forth at the end of Mass to love and serve God. Are we really at peace with our brothers and sisters at home and around the world? Do we really go forth to love and serve God? If you are looking for ways to make these prayers more meaningful in your life, to live them more fully, then consider joining the JustFaith program. JustFaith offers an intensive study of the Catholic Christian’s call to address the needs of the world. The thirty week program includes weekly meetings, readings, retreats, speakers and immersion experiences. The next program will begin soon. Please call Fr. Chuck at 882-1968 if you are interested. It will change your life!

CALLED TO ACT IN GOD’S NAME
“Let all the nations praise you!” (Psalm 67:4) today’s psalm response exclaims. In the psalms and other Hebrew scriptures, this kind of invocation is actually an invitation to God to act, to intervene in human lives in a manner that will cause everyone—not just the Chosen People—to give praise. Stated a bit more
strongly, it is something of a “put up or shut up” challenge to God, the sort of strong statement the psalmists of Israel, trusting in their intimate and loving relationship with God, were not afraid to make.
The Gospel has its own exclamation, announcing the appearance of the Canaanite woman with
“Behold!” (Matthew 15:22) “Behold!” is a scriptural flag that tells us that God is about to act or announce something through an individual or a situation. In the case of Jesus, God was going to act through this woman, whom nobody among Jesus’ followers would have believed to be an agent of the divine will. Like
the psalmists, we might passively inform or perhaps even actively challenge God to do something so that everyone will come to belief, but God will always turn the tables on us. It becomes our calling, our duty (as it was for Jesus) to behold the situations and persons of
our daily lives so that God can act through us, so the Kingdom can be announced through our living.

GOOD EXAMPLE
A faithful Christian, illumined by the rays of grace like a crystal, ought to illumine his neighbor with the light of good example, through word and deed.
