Eccl r:21 z':za-23 / Col 3:r-5, 9-:.r / Lk a2ir3-21

You may be familiar with the TV show Hoarders, which features people living in

horrid conditions surrounded by stuff they've been unable to throw away foryears. Many of us find these extreme reality shows enteftaining because it feels

good to be unlike the people in them.

We may not qualify to be on Hoarders, bui that doesn't mean we're really living

the truth Jesus spoke: "One's life does not consist of Possessions."Undoubtedly, we all could use a good Hoar-defi-l'ke cltan--out cjf

-our homes,

closets, and cars. We have a lot of stuff. And stuff requires work-cleaning,maintenance, storage. The number of storage facilities

in the United States has skyrocketed in recent years. Think about that: We need

buildings to do nothing but house stuff we can no langer fit into our homes.

ln itself, stuff isn't bad. The problem occurs when stuff turns into clutter-andclutter, when it turns into a verb, clutters! lt clutters oUr homes, oUr lives, and

our heafts, and it certainly can clutter our relationship with God.

Think of the time we spend protecting our stuff with insurance, lockboxes, and

alarms. Think of the energy we expend deciding who will get our stuff afterwe're gone-which child or relative should have which piece of jewelry orcollectible. Think how often we complain about not having more sluff when we

ought to be living every day in immense gratitude for all we already have. Such

time and energy could be spent much more fruitfully in service to God and toeach other.

It's time for an honest look inside our homes, hearts, and spiritual lives: Do our

Possessions possess us?

.&,SS UMPTTGI\-August 1 5

In Catholic faith Mary, like all other descendants of Adam, had to be redeemedthrough Christ. We honor her especially for two biblical reasons: (a) She is themother of Jesus who is Lord and God. (b) According to Luke r:26-38 she is thefirst one to hear the good news of Jesus' identity and to say, "Be it done to meaccording to your word"-thus becoming the first disciple to meet Jesus'

standard of hearing the word of God and doing it (see Luke B:zr).We believe that God gave her special privileges, but these are related to thegraces of discipleship given through Christ and in no way divinize her. Allbelievers in Christ are delivered by his grace from the sin of Adam: All believers in

Christ will be raised bodily from the dead. Catholics believe that Mary, the firstone to profess belief in Christ as revealed by an angel, was through Christ's grace

the first to be totally freed from Adam's sin (conceived without sin) and the firstto be raised bodily (assumed into heaven).While we acknowledge that these doctrines of the lmmaculate Conception and

Assumption of Mary are not found in the New Testament, we hold them as

consonant with the picture in Luke of Mary as the first one "fiat" and to believe,

and with the picture in John where she is especially loved and honored as Jesus

hangs on the cross.Raymond E. Brown, Catholic Update: The Fundamentalist Challenge, zooz

de ar PAD Rf,

(J The Catlwlic Church is always preaching about feeding the\o3 hungry and clothing thz naked. If we really meant it, wouldn't we

sell our churches and art and giue tLrc money to tlw poor?

It's true that the Church, both in Rome and in many

parishes throughout the world, has many material assets,

but they're always meant to be used for the poor and the

preaching of the gosPel.

I was once the pastor in a parish that had no churchbuilding-we held Mass in a school gy*.We considered

putting up a temporary metal-frame building, but instead

we decided to raise money to build a proper churchbuilding-a place of beauty where the sacraments could

be celebrated with dignity-that would be there for ourchildren and our children's children. It takes a lot ofmoney to feed the hungry, run shelters, and care for the

sich but it also takes a lot of money to build and maintain

churches.

It's important to question the right use of resources

because the Church is made up of people-people whosometimes make mistakes or abuse privileges. But I thinkthat on reflection you'll realize thtt, in general, the

Church's many material assets arebeing used to care forthe needy by providing dignified places for them tocelebrate the sacraments.
