The disciples may have been a bit slow to understand how Jesus was re-defining the Messiah he was going to be, but they were not stupid on all accounts. They picked up on the reaction Peter got when he rebuked Jesus for talking about suffering rejection and death. So, when Jesus brought up the subject for a second time in today’s Gospel, they just listened politely, then dropped back out of earshot and changed the subject to a more pleasant one—themselves, and who was the greatest.

Things must have gotten quite animated because when they got home, Jesus asked about it. Their silence surely disappointed him, since he could surmise what had engaged them. But like a good teacher, he tries another way to make his point. There must have been a child nearby, because he calls her over and places his arms protectively around her, and says to them, “If you want to be first, then be last. If you want to be in charge, then serve. When you take in the least, you take in not only me but my Father.” Class dismissed.

It has proved a hard lesson to learn. Or maybe few of us really want to learn it. When you look out at the world, most seem to want to be first, the greatest, the one with the most and best toys, a wielder of power and influence and authority. Choosing to serve the least doesn’t make the top ten on most people’s “to do” list.

The Week Ahead ... Mass Intentions for the Week

Page 3 Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 20, 2015

The Shaker hymn describes a circular journey from innocence to innocence with characteristic brevity: ’Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free. ’Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be. This journey is easier sung about than done. It takes humility and time to recover a second innocence. Titles, positions of honor, money, and power are not requirements of the kingdom of God. Jesus says and demonstrates in today’s Gospel that members of God’s kingdom must hold in their embrace the most inconsequential of persons, for that person is identified with Jesus. This attitude ran counter to the intuition of the world of Jesus’ time, as it does in ours. The simplicity set forth by Jesus requires the shedding of unnecessary, unimportant, false, and burdensome attachments that earthly power demands. Membership in the Kingdom is light enough to put a song in our heart.

‘Tis the Gift to be Simple

Sunday: Catechetical Sunday Monday: St. Matthew Tuesday: World Meeting of Families begins; Yom Kippur (Jewish day of atonement) begins at sunset; Eid al Adha (Islamic observance) begins at sunset Wednesday: St. Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio); Autumn begins Saturday: Ss. Cosmas and Damian; Blessed Virgin Mary

Saints and Special Observances

It seems obvious to us that Jesus Christ is the Lord. Toward the end of the second century, a churchman in North Africa, Tertullian, described an early form of penance. Imagine if it had survived! There were three steps to this very public ritual. The unfortunate sinner was brought before the community in an itchy garment of goat’s hair. The communities of the day were small and intimate, and everyone knew everyone else. The shame of exposure for a big sin—murder, idolatry, or adultery—would have been profound. The penitent would beg the community for prayers of intercession, and then go sit in a place assigned to penitents. After this public confession, the penitent would be assigned some discipline, usually a relatively severe fast, or the wearing of distinctive garb. This remedy for sin was for a certain period of time, or at least until the bishop (every small community has its own bishop) judged that enough was enough. Then the person would be readmitted to the eucharistic community, although Tertullian doesn’t tell us how. Probably the bishop tenderly placed his hands on their heads, precisely where they were anointed at baptism. We do know that the readmission of penitents to the eucharistic table became in some churches a great celebration, and there are records from Spain of bishops leading penitents in a dance-like processional into the eucharistic hall on Holy Thursday.

The Book of Revelation: A Bible Study for Catholic Believers

Have you ever read Revelation and asked yourself the following questions? What is the meaning of Jesus’ prophecies of tribulation and the coming of man? Are we in the “end times” now? Who is the Whore of Babylon? Who are the 144,000? What is the meaning of the cryptic numerals 666?

Come and join us in learning the Catholic truth about the book of Revelation and the end times. Classes start October 21 from 6:30PM–8PM in the Holy Family Center for 8 weeks and are free. Call Helen Stewart at 648-1094 to register and for more information.

Evening Bible Study

What is the significance of burning candles at religious services?

C andles were an advance over oil lamps as men learned to use wax in place of oil. Whether as lamps or candles, these light sources were no doubt originally used simply as illumination so that worshippers could see and read in dark places. Eventually the utilitarian purpose became combined with the symbolism of self-offering. As oil and wax in burning eventually are consumed in service, so the worshipper wishes to consecrate himself wholly to God. A secondary symbolism also developed—that of the lamp/candle representing the continuing prayer of the person who lit it. (cf. CCC 1189)

This will be an on-going series taken from

As Pastor of Our Lady of the Valley Parish, I am pleased to announce the Banns of Marriage between the following couples:

ADRIANA GALLEGO and LUÍS BERNAL, both of Our Lady of the Valley parish

ALEXANDRIA OROZCO and BRETT FIBUS, both of Our Lady of the Valley parish.

Opposition to abortion and euthanasia does not excuse indifference to those who suffer from poverty, violence

and injustice....But being "right" in such matters can never excuse direct attacks on innocent human life. "

Living the Gospel of Life", 23 Reflection. Consistency cuts both ways, and challenges those with blind spots to human rights. The most common mistake is to tolerate child-killing while advocating for adults. Prayer. Lord, free us from ever trying to use justice as an excuse for injustice, or right as a justification for wrong.

Our Beautiful End: Exploring the Timeless Mystery of Heaven

The son of a Protestant minister, Matthew Leonard is now an internationally known Catholic speaker, author, and the Executive Director of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

In this presentation, Matthew discusses the nature and role of beauty in life, particularly how it sheds light on the nature of God and assists us in achieving our glorious end, which is heaven itself.

Featured Lighthouse Materials

Jesus takes a child in his arms in today’s gospel and put His arms around him telling His disciples that whoever receives one child, receives Jesus and the One who sent him, His Father.

Every child who is born will enter into everlasting life at their death! What better place to be than in the arms of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior!

Since Roe vs Wade, there have been 56 million abortions in the United States – children who were never given a chance at life. It also means 56 million fewer folks earning, spending, saving, investing, paying taxes, contributing to Social Security, to Medicare, to health insurance pools.

Mother Teresa worked with the poorest of the poor, the afflicted, the Lepers and the dying and was admired all over the world for her love of people that no one else loved. She was a strong proponent for life beginning at conception until the end of natural death. She showed us through her actions what it is to be “the servant of all” as Jesus told His disciples in the gospel today.

God Bless! Helen Stewart, M.D.

Here’s To Your Health

An Empty, Aching Hole — and Memories Someone you love has

died, and the world is darker. At a time like this, you need a caring, concerned friend to listen to you and be with you. A Stephen Minister would like to be that friend.

If you are interested in learning more about our Stephen Ministry or would like to be a Stephen Minister, contact the Parish Office at 625-4536; press 8 when prompted and leave a message.

Let us pray: Father, help me to put aside my fears or my pride and to turn to You through someone who cares and who will help me through this difficult time just by being here for me. I ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.

Stephen Ministry

Starting Thursday, September 24 the Alleluia Choir will resume practicing on Thursday afternoons at 3:30PM in the Church. We sing one Mass per weekend and rotate between different Mass times.
