“Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does
not consist of possessions.” Luke 12:15
Eighteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one‟s life does not consist of possessions.” Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, „What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?‟ And he said, „This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”‟ But God said to him, „ You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?‟ Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God.‟ 1. Where is there excess in your life? How might God be
calling you to share that excess with others?
2. What is Jesus‟ attitude toward wealth? What is your attitude toward wealth? Are they the same or do they differ? The tricky word that comes into play is “Greed”.
3. Where in your life are you, “rich in what matters to God”?
4. Our finances can tell us a lot about our priorities in life? What are our priorities now?
5. Can you remember the times when you didn‟t have everything and yet you and your family were still very happy? What made you happy at that time of your life?
6. Do you find yourselves now having smaller warehouses and still enjoying life?

A Backpack Blessing
Lord Jesus, bless this backpack and the student who carries it as they begin a new school year.
Help them to discover and develop the gifts You have given them. Allow them to be the
best student they can be, reaching out to others and setting good examples to all they meet.
As these students carry these backpacks, may they be reminded of Your love and care that surrounds them each school day.
Give them confidence when they are anxious, comfort when they are afraid, and encouragement when they are tired.
We pray as well for the teachers and administrators, whatever their role, guide them to do it with faithfulness in You. Amen.

St. Lawrence Parish Potluck
August 11, 2019 after 9AM Mass
St. Lawrence Social Hall
The esteem in which the Church holds Lawrence is seen in the fact that today’s
celebration ranks as a feast. We know very little about his life. He is one of those whose
martyrdom made a deep and lasting impression on the early Church. Celebration of his
feast day spread rapidly. He was a Roman deacon under Pope Saint Sixtus II. Four days
after this pope was put to death, Lawrence and four clerics suffered martyrdom,
probably during the persecution of the Emperor Valerian. Legendary details of
Lawrence’s death were known to Damasus, Prudentius, Ambrose, and Augustine. The
church built over his tomb became one of the seven principal churches in Rome and a
favorite place for Roman pilgrimages. A well-known legend has persisted from earliest
times. As deacon in Rome, Lawrence was charged with the responsibility for the
material goods of the Church, and the distribution of alms to the poor. When Lawrence
knew he would be arrested like the pope, he sought out the poor, widows, and orphans
of Rome and gave them all the money he had on hand, selling even the sacred vessels
of the altar to increase the sum. When the prefect of Rome heard of this, he imagined
that the Christians must have considerable treasure. He sent for Lawrence and said,
“You Christians say we are cruel to you, but that is not what I have in mind. I am told
that your priests offer in gold, that the sacred blood is received in silver cups, that you
have golden candlesticks at your evening services. Now, your doctrine says you must
render to Caesar what is his. Bring these treasures the emperor needs them to maintain
his forces. God does not cause money to be counted: He brought none of it into the world
with him only words. Give me the money, therefore, and be rich in words.” Lawrence
replied that the Church was indeed rich. “I will show you a valuable part. But give me
time to set everything in order and make an inventory.” After three days he gathered a
great number of blind, lame, maimed, leprous, orphaned, and widowed persons and put
them in rows. When the prefect arrived, Lawrence simply said, “These are the treasure
of the Church.” The prefect was so angry he told Lawrence that he would indeed have
his wish to die but it would be by inches. He had a great gridiron prepared with coals
beneath it, and had Lawrence’s body placed on it. After the martyr had suffered the pain
for a long time, the legend concludes, he made his famous cheerful remark, “It is well
done. Turn me over!”
Our God, who asks us to follow the example of Saint Lawrence, help us to imitate him in his virtues, to love Christ and His word, to love the Mass as our daily bread, and to love our brothers. And so with this, intercede for me, if it be Your will, to grant me the grace I am seeking. I know that no one who has turned to You for help has been disappointed, therefore, Our Father, I put in your hands, through Saint Lawrence, my humble supplication. I ask this in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
