Don’t You Know Me? – Part 1
Kids like knock-knock jokes. One of the favorites is the one about the banana. A kid will say “knock, knock” and you say, “who’s there?” And the kid says, “banana” and you say “banana who?” And then the whole thing starts over. After you go through that a few times, then the kid says “orange” when you say “who’s there?” And then the kid says, “orange you glad I didn’t say banana!” And for me, yes, actually, I am usually very glad that he didn’t say ‘banana’ for the umpteenth time.
My favorite knock, knock joke is a little different and it usually bewilders the kids when they hear it. Mine goes like this: “knock, knock” and the other person says “who’s there?” and I say “Abraham Lincoln” and the other person says “Abraham Lincoln who?” And then I say, “don’t you know me?” Now most adults get it, but kids get this confused look on their faces. That answer wrecks the whole knock, knock joke protocol. You’re not supposed to do that. You’re supposed to tell a knock, knock joke that meets expectations. Well mine doesn’t.
On a much more serious note – Revelation 3:20 Jesus says: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him and he with me.” You’d expect that anyone who hears the voice of Jesus knows Him and gladly opens the door to invite Him in. You wouldn’t want Jesus to say to you, “don’t you know Me?”
A few weeks ago we celebrated The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. In some circles another name for that Sunday is “heresy Sunday” because a sort of tradition has grown up in which clergy take the opportunity on that particular Sunday to address the historic misunderstandings of the nature of God. Quite a few of the church’s ailments can be traced to one heresy or another. And literally all heresies can be traced to some misunderstanding either about God or about Jesus Christ.
Heresies have been around since the Church began. And that is why, in the first seven or eight centuries of Christianity, the bishops of the Church gathered together to pray, and ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to discern the truth about God and Jesus Christ. These gatherings of bishops are known as the Seven Ecumenical Councils. The first council met at Nicea in 325 and settled the doctrine of the Trinity. The council that met in a place called Chalcedon in 451 set down for all time the true doctrine of Jesus Christ. The two things they settled on were that Jesus Christ is truly God and truly Man, and that He is indeed God Incarnate. The full nature of divinity and the full nature of humanity reside both together at once in the person of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. To be continued . . .

Domingo Vigésimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 2 Rey 5, 14- 17; Sal 97, 1. 2-3ab. 3cd-4; 2 Tm 2, 8-13; Lc 17, 11-19
No Me Conoces? - Primera Parte A los muchachos les gustan los chistes “toc-toc’. Uno de los favoritos es el de la banana. Un niño dice “toc-toc” y tu dices “quien es?” Y el niño dice “banana” y tu dices “banana quien?” Y entonces se vuelve a empezar. Después de hacerlo algunas veces el niño dice “naranja” cuando tu dices “quien es?” Y entonces el niño dice “no estás content que no dije banana! “Y para mí, sí, de verdad, generalmente me gusta mucho que no dijo “banana” por milésima vez. Mi chiste “toc-toc” favorito generalmente turba a los niños cuando lo oyen. Mí chiste va así: “toc-toc”, y la otra persona dice “quien es?” y entonces yo digo “Abraham Lincoln” y la otra persona dice “Abraham Lincoln quien?” y entonces yo digo “no me conoces?’ La mayoría delos adultos lo entienden, pero los niños aparecen confuses. La respuesta arruina el protocol de los chistes “toc-toc”. Se supone que no debes hacere eso. Se supone que debes contar un chiste “toc-toc” que haga lo que se espera. Bueno, el mío no es así. En serio-en Revelation 3:20 Jesús dice: “mira, yo estoy llamando a la puerta; si alguien oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré a su casa y comeremos juntos (Ap 3:20) Es de esperar que cualquiera que oye la voz de Jesús lo conozca y con gran alegría abra la puerta para invitarlo a pasar. No querrias que Jesús te dijera “no me conoces?” Hace unas semanas celebramos la Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad. En algunos circulos ofro nombre para ese domingo es “domingo de la herejía” porque ha surgido una especie de tradición cuando el clero toma la oportunidad, en ese domingo, para discutir los malentendidos históricos acerca de la naturaleza de Dios. Muchas de las enfermedades de la iglesia se pueden trazar a una o otra herejía. Y literalmente todas las herejías pueden trazarse a algún malentendido ya sea de Dios a de Jesucristo. Las herejías han existido desde que empezó la Iglesia. Y es por eso que durante los primeros siete o ocho siglos del Cristianismo, los obispos de la Iglesia se reunían para rezar, y pedir la guía del Espíritu Santo para discerner la verdad acerca de Dios y Jesucristo. Estas reunions de obispos son conocidas como los siete Concilios Ecuménicos. El primer Concilio se reunió en Nicea en 325 y decidió la doctrina de la Trinidad. El concilio que se reunió en Calcedonia en 451 decidió de una vez por todas la verdadera doctrina de Jesucristo. Las dos cosas que se decidieron fueron que Jesucristo es verdadero Dios y verdadero Hombre, y que es verdaderamente Dios Encarnado. La divina naturaleza complete y la naturaleza entera de humanidad, residen juntas a una vez en la persona de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor y Salvador. Continuará...

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer; an hour of adoration. This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from. An adorer is needed for:
Saturday 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.
If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la Iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la mission por medio de la oración; una hora de adoración. Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildisima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en solo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger. Tambien es necesario un adorador los:
sabado 10:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.
Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

A City on a Mountain by Pascal P. Parent, S.T.D, Ph.D., J.C.B is an incredible
illustrated biography, about the “Living Crucifix” who is known as Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. He was born in 1887 in Pietrelcina near Naples, Italy in the small town San Giovanni Rotondo. He died in 1968. The author was a Professor at the Catholic University of America and he
details many of Padre Pio’s miracles (such as cures for cancer, bilocation, perfume odor, and conversions). This book was written while he was still alive. The photographs in this book are amazing and were taken by Signor Frederico Abresch of San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia) Italy, who was a convert of Padre Pio and eventually moved to San Giovanni to be close to him. Padre Pio did not pose for them nor was he aware of them being taken. Like St. Francis of Assisi, Padre Pio bore on his body the five wounds of Jesus Christ, called the stigmata. For fifty years, the stigmata on Padre Pio’s body caused major discomfort, physical pain and also mental suffering. When Padre Pio arrived at the Monastery of Our Lady of Grace in December 1917, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Through a miracle of grace, his frail body began to return to life and energy. In the fall 1918, five crimson “roses” appeared on his hands and feet and one on his left side just under his heart. They called them roses because of their color and fragrance. Up until the time of his death, the wounds of the stigmata were still bleeding and still fragrant. When he died, they totally disappeared. In the beginning, the church was silent and waiting, and
then a declaration from the Holy Office warned the faithful to refrain from visiting or writing to him. From 1930 – 1932 he was not allowed to say mass in public or to hear confessions. To many people this meant total condemnation. It wasn’t until February 1948 that there were no prohibitions for Padre Pio. During this time, Padre Pio remained humble, obedient, and had perfect joy in his cell. It was known that the devil would visit Padre Pio in his cell and accost him by throwing him against the wall, hurling him to the floor, and drag him around the room. Sometimes the devil would appear dressed as a Capuchin Franciscan priest trying to get him to give up his holy life. His spiritual director knew of all his torments and helped guide him with his struggles against the devil. . Padre Pio’s feast day is September 26. There is much more in this biography of Padre Pio that will keep you fascinated. He was the twentieth century’s “Apostle of Holiness.”

Join with our parishioners who are regular donors and have seen their neighbors helped by their sustaining donations. Due to the short time that blood can be used after donating, there is a constant need for new donations. Please consider giving up a few minutes of your time to provide the gift of life. Students are welcome with parental permission for those under 18. A thank you gift from the blood bank will be available. For more information call John Windlinger at (847)312-3194 or you may schedule your appointment online at donatingforlife.org and enter zip code 78028 and date October 6.
