Spirit and Truth My Mother and Brothers

My dear parishioners, the villagers of Nazareth, who have known Jesus from his childhood, have heard of his miracles and mission activities. But they cannot reconcile these amazing reports with their memories of Jesus as an ordinary boy. The Nazarenes remember nothing remarkable about the youthful Jesus, and so it is all the more astonishing to them that Joseph's son should reveal himself to them as a rabbi, a teacher of the law, one who acts with power and authority. Moreover, the incredulity of the Nazoreans is not without prejudice. Jesus' own kinsmen were loathe to hear that he traveled in the company of great crowds and clashed openly with religious authorities. Feelings of frustration--and perhaps some concern for Jesus' safety -- motivated them to set out from Nazareth to bring him back home. Ordinary people were saying he was out of his mind. [cf. Mk 3:21] Scribes were saying he was pos-sessed by Beelzebul, the prince of demons. [cf. Mk 3:22] Jesus' family, there-fore, intended to intercept Jesus and compel him to return to Nazareth. Mary and the kinsmen of Jesus fail in their efforts to bring him home. Stymied by a large crowd in Capernaum that blocked every approach to Jesus, they send word inside announcing their arrival. For his part, Jesus makes a sharp distinction between the rights of blood kin and members of the household of God. The will of God must take precedence over the will of one's personal family. The kinship bond in God's kingdom is doing his will. Without this bond, human participation in God's kingdom is impossible: "Who are my mother and my brothers? And looking around on those who sat about him, he said, Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother." [Mk 3:33-35] Jesus refuses to return to Nazareth with his mother and kinsmen. His unwillingness -- fueled by the im-prisonment of his cousin John the Baptizer -- confirms his resolve to announce: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; … (cont. on page 8)

Thank You to Westlake Cleaners

One of our saving graces following Hurricane Harvey was the kindness and professionalism of Westlake Cleaners in Atascocita. They came to our rescue and helped clean our expensive liturgical garments, altar cloths, and various specialty items damaged by floodwaters. Many of these expensive items were rescued and restored by their efforts. We are thankful for Westlake Cleaners’ care of our items following the flood, and moreover throughout the last 10+ years! They are always cheerful and dili-gent and St. Philip is very grateful for their expert professional care of our garments and linens. Father Barker appreciates Westlake Cleaners’ consistent high standards of cheerful, dedicated service! Westlake Cleaners’ owners are John and Tru. Home from college during the summer, their sons Jonathan and Justin help mom and dad in the shop. Their cus-tomers know about their skilled and delicate care. We rely especially on their in-house laundry and dry cleaning services which has been a huge plus for us. Our treasured garments and linens are never shipped away to an anonymous factory site. John’s and Tru’s small family-run business keeps our parish running smoothly. Westlake Cleaners is locat-ed at 7568 FM 1960 East, Humble in the long shop-ping center behind Whataburger in Atascocita. Please stop by to thank John and Tru for all they have done for us. We truly are grateful for them!

Youth Group

Huffman to Houston Mission Trip a Success!

It rained and then it rained some more, but despite that, a grand time was had by all and some great work got done. Ten St. Philip youth spent last week helping those affected by Hurricane Harvey at Shine Catholic Work Camp - Houston. We had decided early on that we would stay local to help with recovery efforts. We just did-n’t realize how close - our home for the week was St. Martha’s School. Shine’s motto is “Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven,” Mt 5:16. During his homily one morning, Monsignor Ross Shecterle from St.

Mary’s in Menomonee Falls, WI challenged us to think about how we spend our time. Those choices show what we treasure, and what we treasure is where our heart is. The teens’ servant hearts were in evidence all week as they worked hard and didn’t complain in spite of several challenges. The goal now is to bring that spirit back to St. Philip and our whole community. Our theme verse for the week was “What man among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?” Luke 15:4. Both Monsignor Ross and Sr. Andrew Marie of the Society of St. Paul shared their vocation stories about how God pursued them as He did the lost sheep; taking them from an indifference to the Church and Her sacraments to the decision to enter consecrated life; for Sr Andrew Marie, very much against her par-ents’ wishes.

St. Philip joined with 150 youth from Houston, Dallas, Wisconsin and South Dakota for the week of service. Due to the rain, the entire camp went to the Houston Food Bank on Tuesday and Wednesday. They were desperately grateful for the help as demand on their resources is still well above normal, while volunteers have fallen off to pre-Harvey levels. Team 16 (Lynette Zaunbrecher, Emily Fikac, Ellie Alvarez, Caleb Madigan, Rebekah Butler and Chris Storrs) spent the next 2 days at flooded homes helping clear debris. When they finished early one day, they bought water and snacks to distrib-ute to the homeless in the area. Team 17 (myself, Faith Hebert, Thomas Garcia, Yleanna Cisneros, Amber Jozwiak and Rachel Butler worked Thursday and Friday at the Houston Tool Bank. The Tool Bank loans equipment to non-profit groups doing work for the benefit of the community.

Our days started with Mass which Thomas, Faith and Emily served as altar server, lec-tor and gift bearer on Friday. Evenings included program activities highlighted by Ado-ration, Prayer Chairs, a talk from Sr. Andrew Marie and Praise and Worship music in addition to fun games, team building activities and a talent show. A huge thank you to our benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Shannon and Sylvia Medley and Mr. James Prejean. Your generous support of our trip is truly appreciated.

New CCE School Year - Catechists Needed

I became a catechist 18 years ago. I had no training and no experience, but over the years, being involved in CCE has given me more joy and blessings than I could ever give back. Why do I love it? I’m glad you asked: Top 10 Reasons I Love Being a Catechist: 1. I have grown so much in my own relationship with Jesus Christ and knowledge of His Word by teaching it to

others. 2. The children provide me with energy and hope. They are a great source of joy to me. 3. My prayer life has deepened and become more integral to my daily life. 4. Getting to work with all the wonderful, faith-filled people who have volunteered for CCE over the years. I

have been blessed to call them friends and to be inspired by their faith. 5. Being involved in such a vibrant part of our parish has made the church feel like a second home for me. 6. I have been able to share so many wonderful experiences with my own children by being involved in their

religious education. It also highlighted for them how important their religious education is. 7. It’s given me an opportunity to be creative that I didn’t realize I would enjoy so much. 8. I have gotten to know and learn from devout Catholics not only in our own parish but at the Archdiocesan

level at the many trainings and seminars available (but not required) 9. Being a catechist has taught me to expect the unexpected. The faith of our children will surprise you and

take lessons in directions you never expected. 10. It puts a smile on my face. Following the mandate Jesus called us all to: “teaching them to observe all that I

have commanded you.” Mt 28:20, makes spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ a natural and joyful thing to do.

Jesus told us the Greatest Commandment was to love the Lord your God with all your the heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is the heart of what being a catechist is all about. We love our Lord and want to share that love with the children of our parish. Will you please consider joining us in the CCE ministry? We have many openings on both Sunday Mornings and Wednesday evenings. For more information, or to volunteer, please call me, Becky Pursell, at 713-516-7376 or email me at bpursell@stphilip.cc

Pro-Life Piece “Can We Do This?” Grief Ministry “Stages of Grief”

Due to the work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss psy-chiatrist in 1969, and later David Kessler, we have a model for understanding and describing what happens to individuals suffering grief. Her five stage model was later modified to include 7 stages of grief. This model is a more in-depth analysis of the process. She added two stages as an extension of the grief cycle. The seven stages include shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depres-sion, testing, and acceptance. Each stage has its unique characteristics but grief is complicated and can be a mixture of several stages. We are all different in how we respond to a significant loss.

SHOCK: Even if the death of a loved one is expected at some point, we are temporarily shocked at the news and suffer initial paralysis at the bad news. This can be characterized by disbelief, unable to think about the next steps. A numbness can persist for a while. A reali-zation that the individual has left our lives brings deep sorrow.

DENIAL: Denial is an attempt to delay the news or acknowledge that the event hasn’t happened or isn’t permanent. It helps us to survive the loss. In this stage, the world be-comes meaningless and overwhelming. Life makes no sense. Getting through another day is the focus. Denial and shock help us to cope and make survival possible. Denial helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is nature’s way of letting in only as much as we can handle.

These feels of shock and denial are intertwined and an individual can move from shock to denial and back again very rapidly. The progression through any of the stages is rarely an orderly movement and you can expe-rience them in any order and any number of times. Ku-bler-Ross did not mean for us to understand these steps as a clean progression from one stage to the next, but her goal was to define, not only, what those emotions are, but, how people communicate their grief to others through their words, emotions, and behavior.

Next column will discuss the stages of anger and bar-

gaining.

To be invited to participate as co-creators with the Creator himself is a fearfully awesome thing. There are hard times of real struggle over the fear of the unknown, the desire to grasp control, and often-times the temptation to mitigate risk with a little snip here, a little cut there. But the benefits of respecting our bodies as they are, and of following Christ’s call to imitate him in completely self-giving love, far outweigh the risks. If there is one thing I've learned in the Christian life, it's this: If we ask him, Jesus will be with us every step of the way, giving us the grace we need. And his plans are wildly more fulfilling than we can imagine. So the next time we’re asked "Are you done?” we can say, "We don't know yet. God's not finished working with us." My husband and I have our fourth baby on the way, and I've never been more at peace with God’s plans for our life. I couldn't have said that two kids ago, and the newly-married me would have been terrified at the prospect of four kids. But as each baby has arrived, so has the grace and the generosity necessary to make room, both in our hearts and in our home. Our God is faithful, and his plans for us are good.

GOD OWNS EVERYTHING, POSSESSES ALL, NEEDS NOTHING - BE LIKE HIM! Free yourself from all attachments. • Enjoy God’s gifts-they do not need to be pos-

sessed. • You are God’s child, what is His is yours – there

is no need to re-possess. • Keep your heart away from all forms of pos-

sessions. • Make God the desire of your heart. • One thing is necessary-sit at the feet of your

Master, listen, obey, and love. • Consider all as your family - give joyfully! “May the little child Jesus bless you and accom-pany you on your journey” - Fr. Santan Pinto SOLT (+2011+)

… repent, and believe in the gospel." [Mk 1:15]

When, in the village of Nazareth, Jesus addresses the townspeople in the synagogue, many are astonished by his words and authority. Nevertheless, they regard this com-mon carpenter as an outsider, an imposter without the least credentials. The villagers could not deny the consider-able testimony: Jesus' wisdom and the mighty works of his hands. Stubbornly, they attempt to discredit his spiritual pedigree by a vulgar recitation of his family members names -- Mary his mother, James, Joses, Judas, Simon and his sisters. Jesus had committed effrontery, in their opinion, by distin-guishing himself apart from his family. Moreover, because Joseph's family was perceived as wooden and unimagina-tive, Jesus, too, was expected to be rather lumpish. Thus, "they took offense at him". [Mk 6:3] The Nazoreans err by denying the stories of salvation as they happen and, by so doing, deprive themselves and their descendents of the generative and healing gospel. They will bear no fruit in the harvest of redemption. Without faith, knowledge of Jesus' marvelous works means nothing. Though he commands the wind and sea to obey him, Our Lord chooses not to calm the tempest in their stubborn hearts. [cf. Mk 4:35-41] He remarks, somewhat dryly and with poignant understatement, "a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house". [Mk 6:4] Deprived of a meaningful relationship with the villagers of Nazareth, Jesus is unable to reveal God's kingdom through signs or parables "except that he laid his hands upon a few sick people and healed them". [Mk 6:5] Jesus leaves the villagers of Nazareth withered in mind and heart. Merely hearing the sacred gospel stories or having an awareness of God does not impart sanctifying grace. To worthily receive the gospel legacy, one must accept its sto-ries faithfully, obey their precepts, and walk in a holy and sacramental way of life. To their great discredit, the Nazoreans refused to believe in Jesus though they had known him from childhood. As well, this this should be a caution to every adult Catholic tempted to believe in something other than the faith they learned as children! Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your pastor, Reverend Richard Barker.

When you receive Communion during the Holy Sacri-fice of the Mass, it is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divini-ty of Christ that you are receiving. Holy Communion, in the Catholic Church, is reserved for those who have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion, have been catechized (taught) in our Catholic faith and have made a profession of faith. One should ab-stain from Holy Communion if they are in mortal sin and have not received the sacrament of reconcili-ation. If you are not Roman Catholic or are in need of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we ask that you re-frain from receiving Holy Communion in the Mass. However, you may go up to one of the ministers for a blessing when Holy Communion is being offered. By crossing your hands over your heart, the Priest or Eu-charistic minister will know to give you the blessing.

Also, if you choose to receive only the Blessed Sacrament and not from the Chalice, it is fitting nevertheless to pause for a moment to honor Christ’s presence in the Precious Blood—with an appropriate sign of devotion. We would not think to pass a friend on the street without some acknowl-edgement. Our Lord Jesus Christ deserves no less, and most assuredly, a great deal
