PRACTIQUEN LA PALABRA

La segunda lectura de hoy comienza una serie de

cinco semanas de selecciones de la Carta de Santiago

que se clasifica entre las epístolas llamadas

“católicas” (o universales) porque están dirigidas a un

público general y no a una comunidad en particular.

El texto de hoy ofrece consejos importantes para los

cristianos de todas las generaciones. Dios es citado

por primera vez como autor de todos los dones, y en

particular, se hace referencia al don del bautismo, por

el que somos las “primicias” de la nueva creación.

Lo que sigue es un consejo basado en un

entendimiento muy judío de la “palabra” como una

fuerza activa, operativa en el mundo. Se nos recuerda

que a menos que nosotros también nos convirtamos en

“practicantes” de la palabra,

nuestra profesión de fe no vale

nada. Hoy y en las próximas

semanas el autor nos recuerda

que es igualmente importante

que hacer las “obras” del

amor, por ejemplo, cuidar de

los “huérfanos y las viudas en

sus tribulaciones”.

DOERS OF THE WORD

The second reading for today begins a five-week

series of selections from James, a letter that is

classified among the so-called “catholic” (or

universal) epistles because they are addressed to a

general audience rather than to one particular

community. Today’s text offers important advice for

Christians of every generation. God is first cited as the

author of all gifts, and in particular, reference is made

to the gift of baptism by which we have been made

the “first fruits” of the new creation.

What follows is advice based on a very Jewish

understanding of the “word” as an active force,

operative in the world. We are reminded that unless

we, too, become “doers” of the word, our claim to

faith is empty. Today and in

subsequent weeks the author

reminds us that it is equally

important to do the “works” of

love, for example, by caring

for the “orphans and widows

in their affliction.”

News from the Padre/ Noticias de Nuestro Sacerdote

In the United States, we celebrate the first Monday of September as

Labor Day. It seems somewhat oxymoronic to “celebrate” this holiday

this year when nearly 13 million Americans – 8.3% of the workforce –

remain unemployed. Add to that another 8.2 million workers who want to

work full-time, but are stuck in reluctant part-time jobs.

Perhaps this Labor Day, we could begin or continue our individual

serious study and reflection so we are guided more by moral convictions

than attachment to a political party. This period before the elections can

be one of understanding our responsibility as Catholics to analyze the

position of candidates according to Gospel values. This includes defense

of the unborn and care for the poor. We must remember that the privilege

of voting is a moral responsibility for the well being of all people.

Billions of dollars are being spent on political campaigns this year. However, as the U.S. bishops have

noted in their annual Labor Day statement (www.uscb.org) “The relative silence of candidates and their

campaigns on the moral imperative to resist and overcome poverty is both ominous and disheartening.

Despite unacceptable levels of poverty, few candidates and elected officials speak about pervasive

poverty or offer a path to overcome it. We need to hear from those who seek to lead the country about

what specific steps they would take to lift people out of poverty.”

The millions of working people struggling to pay their monthly mortgages, formerly middle-class folks

now feeding families with food stamps, de-unionized workers, the unemployed, welfare-dependent

individuals, and former prisoners begging for jobs are barely living. These Americans are patriotic and

have a civic spirit. But they are disheartened by a government that does not hear them. Subsequently,

they are not inclined to play any political games that they seem bound to lose.

So what is to be done? Perhaps we need a “gospel of work” or “theology of work,” remembering the

words of our Divine Worker: “For what does it profit a person it they gain the whole world and lose or

forfeit themselves.”

According to the 2012 bishop’s Labor Day statement, “Work is more than a paycheck; it helps raise our

families, develop our potential, share in God’s creation and contribute to the common good. In this time

of economic turmoil and uncertainty, we need to reflect on the moral and human dimensions of too

much poverty and not enough work.”

Perhaps this Labor Day weekend can be a time to pray and reflect rather than a time to celebrate a day

off from work. As a community of faith-filled people who live by Gospel values, we will be

“celebrating” Labor Day on Monday with Mass at 9:00 AM to pray for those who suffer from

unemployment, underemployment, or living in forced poverty, that they may find honorable work to

nourish and sustain them, and bring dignity to their lives.

May you and your family have a Blessed Labor Day.

Our Parish Community / Nuestra Comunidad Parroquial

Ninety-two members of the St. Francis of Assisi Legacy Society gathered on Tuesday, August 7 for their

second annual get-together. To become a member of The Legacy Society, parishioners have given at least $10,000

over the last 5 years for special church projects, such as the rebuilding of the church and start-up ministries. The

generosity of so many parishioners fosters an interest in assuring that St. Francis continues to be a vibrant,

dedicated, spiritual community.

The event was originally planned to be held at the lovely lakefront home of Tom and Karen Leonardini, but

inclement weather forced the gathering to the parish hall. In the true spirit of stewardship, a significant group of

volunteers from The Legacy Society all made delicious appetizers, and the Leonardinis donated their famous White

Fr. Bill’ s Article Continued / El artículo del padre Bill continuó

En los Estados Unidos, se celebra el primer lunes de septiembre como el Día del Trabajo. Parece un tanto

contradictorio para "celebrar" este día de fiesta, este año cerca de 13 millones de estadounidenses - 8,3% de

trabajadores - permanecen desempleados. Añadir a que otros 8,2 millones de trabajadores que quieren trabajar

a tiempo completo, pero están atrapados y a disgusto a tiempo parcial.

Tal vez este Día del Trabajo, podríamos comenzar con nuestro estudio individual y la reflexión seria por lo que

se guían más por las convicciones morales que el apego a un partido político. Este período antes de las

elecciones puede ser una de la comprensión de nuestra responsabilidad como católicos para analizar la

posición de los candidatos de acuerdo con los valores del Evangelio. Esto incluye la defensa de los no nacidos y

el cuidado de los pobres. Debemos recordar que el privilegio de votar es una responsabilidad moral por el

bienestar de todas las personas.

Miles de millones de dólares se gastan en campañas políticas de este año. Sin embargo, como los obispos de

Estados Unidos han señalado en su declaración anual del Día del Trabajo (www.uscb.org) "El relativo silencio

de los candidatos y sus campañas sobre el imperativo moral de resistir y superar la pobreza es a la vez

inquietante y desalentador. A pesar de los niveles inaceptables de pobreza, pocos candidatos y funcionarios

electos hablan de la pobreza generalizada y ofrecen un camino para superarla. Tenemos que escuchar a los que

tratan de llevar al país acerca de los pasos específicos que se necesitan para sacar a la gente de la pobreza.",

Los millones de personas que trabajan tienen dificultades para pagar sus hipotecas mensuales, anteriormente

gente de clase media ahora alimentan las familias con vales de comida, de-los trabajadores sindicalizados, los

individuos desempleados, dependientes del bienestar, y ex-presos que piden trabajos que están apenas viviendo.

Estos americanos son patriotas y tienen un espíritu cívico. Pero están desalentados por un gobierno que no los

escucha. Posteriormente, no están dispuestos a jugar ningún juego político que parecen destinados a perder.

Entonces, ¿qué se debe hacer? Tal vez necesitamos un "evangelio del trabajo» o «teología del trabajo»,

recordando las palabras de nuestro Divino Obrero: ". ¿Para qué le sirve a una persona ganar el mundo entero

si se pierde o se destruye a sí mismos"

Según la declaración del obispo del Día del Trabajo de este año, "El trabajo no es más que un cheque de pago,

sino que ayuda a criar a nuestras familias, desarrollar nuestro potencial participar en la creación de Dios y

contribuir al bien común. En este momento de crisis económica e incertidumbre, tenemos que reflexionar sobre

las dimensiones morales y humanas de la demasiada pobreza y no trabajar lo suficiente. "

Tal vez este fin de semana del Día del Trabajo puede que sean momento para orar

y reflexionar más que un momento para celebrar un día libre de trabajo. Como

comunidad de fe, somos gente que vivimos los valores del Evangelio, "celebrar" el

Día del Trabajo el lunes con la Misa a las 9:00 am para orar por aquellos que

sufren de desempleo, el subempleo, o que viven en la pobreza obligada a que

éstos puedan encontrar un trabajo honorable para nutrir y sostener, y traer

dignidad a sus vidas.

Que usted y su familia pasen un feliz día del trabajo.

Stewardship / La Administración

A Reflection on Stewardship: Striving to live the stewardship way of life and encouraging our

parishioners to do the same, we often preach on time, talent, and

treasure. We know how important it is to recognize these things as

God’s gifts to us and to give them back to God. “All good giving and

every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of

lights” (second reading).

Today’s scripture readings touch on a very important element of that

message, the stewardship lifestyle, that serves to make the actions of giving our time, talent, and treasure, the

actions of giving ourselves completely to God, truly fruitful or vain. That is our intention. Why do we live this

way? Who are we trying to please and why are we striving to please Him?

For the Jews, so much of doing what is right and being “acceptable by God” involved prescribed rituals – only

eating certain foods, washing before you eat, etc. “Observe them carefully, for thus will you give evidence of your

wisdom and intelligence to the nations” (first reading). But Jesus reminds us that, as Christians, doing what is

right, living a righteous life is much deeper than that. In fact, when the Pharisees and scribes are overly concerned

with the fact that the disciples are eating without following the set rituals, He calls them hypocrites. He sees that

they are observing the letter of the law for the sake of being recognized, and, on top of that, they are judging

others, without knowing the state of their hearts.

“This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me. You

disregard God’s commandments but cling to human tradition” (gospel).

It is not that we aren’t called to follow God’s law – as if intention is all that matters. Rather, so much of Christ’s

law rests on love – love of God and love of neighbor, and everything we do should be done in love.

“Religion that is pure and undefined before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows and their

afflictions, and to keep oneself unstained by the world” (second reading).

We are to act out of love – not for recognition or obligation. Look to Christ. He is our prime example. He came

into the world because of His and the Father’s love for us, and He gave of Himself to the point of death because He

loves us. (Jn. 3:16)

Likewise, we live to serve Him, to glorify Him in all we do not merely because He has called us to do so and we feel

obliged, but because we love Him so much, we want nothing more than to live for Him.

So, when we examine our lives and commit to give more of ourselves to the Lord – more of our time, our talent,

and our treasure – we ought also examine our intent. Everything we do should be done for the greater glory of

God. No exceptions.

Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.

The charter mandated certain activities which are to be operative

in all dioceses. Among the requirements of the charter is the education

and training of all employees and those volunteers (full-time and seasonal)

who may have contact with children. Our Diocese utilizes the Virtus program

“Protecting God’s Children.”The program trains its participants to recognize the

warning signs of sexual abuse and to respond appropriately.

In protecting God’s Children, your children, all of us need to become

more aware of the dangers that our youth face each day.

This program is designed to help us help others.

The program will be facilitated by Deacon Don Korson and Jodi Clouthier,

both of whom have been trained through the Diocese.

Please contact Jodi Clouthier at the parish office to reserve

your session or for additional information. (885) 831-0490
