#41 TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 11, 2015

DISCIPLESHIP AND WEALTH

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is

rich to enter the kingdom of God. —Mark 10: 25

Sometimes we get the idea that having material wealth is a bad thing. We may convince ourselves that it is the poor who are favored. In today’s readings, we discover that material wealth alone does not keep us from discipleship. We will see that there are other gifts more important than material wealth, but even so, it is how we use our gifts that matters most. Today’s scriptures point to the value of the gifts of wisdom, trusting in God, and letting our actions reflect the love of God from within. It is not gold that causes us to fall, but rather the desire for gold above all other things. From the readings in Wisdom and Hebrews, we find the source of God’s gifts in our lives. Wisdom is more valuable than worldly possessions. In Hebrews, we are challenged to look at our own values and ad-mit honestly what controls our lives.

40 DAYS FOR LIFE CAMPAIGN

Our dear Pope Francis has opened the arms of mercy and hope to many Catholics who have suffered the pain of a failed marriage. The new process he has announced does not change Church teaching about the sacred, indissoluble covenant of marriage, but it streamlines the procedures for determining whether such a covenant existed. • A Catholic marriage is a lifelong, sacramental covenant between a

man and a woman, in which they are willing to collaborate with God to bring children into the world.

• An annulment is a declaration by the Church that the spiritual bond of marriage never existed because one or both spouses entered the marriage either unwilling or unable to fulfill the commitment of matrimony.

• The spouses may not have been aware at the time of the wedding that one or both of them was unwilling or unable to sustain a marriage. Some of the many grounds for an annulment — properly known as a declaration of nullity — are lack of openness to children, rejection of a commitment to fidelity and the permanence of marriage, severe immaturity, fraud or psychological problems such as depression or addiction.

• The couple must already have received a civil divorce before the Church can consider a petition for annulment. A Church annulment does not mean that there was no marital relationship, and it does not in any way change the status of children born into that marriage.

HIGHLIGHTS OF CHANGES: • Overall, the new rules entrust more responsibility to the local bishop

and his diocese to make decisions regarding the status of marriages cases.

• If you currently live within a diocese, that diocese is automatically able to hear the case for annulment.

• The automatic appeal to a higher church court has been eliminated. • If a former spouse wishes to file a personal appeal, it must first go to

a higher Church court in the Conference of Bishops — the Archdio-cese of Philadelphia for cases originating in Pittsburgh — before it can be appealed to Rome.

• While three judge panels are still allowed, it will be normal practice to have one judge and two “assessor.” An assessor is someone who has canonical training and offers an opinion on particular cases.

• Under certain circumstances, the diocesan bishop may serve as sole judge.

• In addition to the existing process for hearing annulments, there will be a shortened process for cases in which proof of the allegation of nullity in clearly “evident.”

To begin the process of a annulment please contact

your parish priest to meet and discuss the particulars of your personal situation.

Words of Wisdom from Blessed Mother Teresa People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are a king, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway.”
