OCTOBER 07, 2018 TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

A VIEW FROM THE PEW

Thoughts on the Readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Our Gospel this weekend comes in two sections. In the first half of this Gospel

Jesus talks about the difficult issue of divorce. The occasion for Jesus’ teaching

was a question by the Pharisees: “Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his

wife?” Jesus responded to their question by asking them what Moses had

taught. They replied correctly that Moses had permitted divorce, but Jesus told them that it was

“Because of the hardness of your hearts” that Moses did this. Jesus then went on to remind them that

when God has joined two people together this union is blessed and sanctified by God and “what God has

joined together no human being must separate.” In the second half of this Gospel, we are told that people

were bringing their children to Jesus to have him touch them. When his disciples rebuked them, Jesus

told them: “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as

these.”

The theme from the first half of the Gospel is echoed in our first reading today which tells the story of the

creation of man and woman. The importance of pets notwithstanding, this story reminds us that the

“suitable partner” for a human being is another human being.

In both the Gospel and the first reading it is important to point out what is not being said. Jesus did not

say that it was okay to criticize or judge those who go through the painful experience of divorce. Jesus did

not say that people should stay in abusive relationships. Rather, he spoke about the dignity, goodness

and blessedness of the union of those whom God has joined together.

Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and

you’ll be transformed through insights on this most

privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus

Christ.

See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and

into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call

from God and a response from His people, the Church,

and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined

with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus

through the Holy Eucharist.

The Mass will help you understand how to fully,

consciously, and actively participate in the source and

summit of the Christian Life.

MONTESSORI CURRICULUM NIGHT Wednesday, October 17, 2018, 6:00 PM at the ELC

Montessori is a uniquely innovative, child-centered approach to education, developed by Maria

Montessori, an Italian physician, educator and innovator, acclaimed for her educational method that

builds on the way children naturally learn. It is also an individualized approach to teaching and

learning that foster a child’s natural inclination to learn. Montessori teachers guide and instruct,

linking each student with activities that meet his/her interests, needs, and developmental level, while

challenging them to explore and learn. The Montessori classroom is designed to allow movement and

collaboration, as it also promotes concentration and a sense of order.

Mary, Star of the Sea Early Learning Center “Montessori Curriculum Night” is an annual parent

informational workshop that is presented by ELC teachers. The purpose of the informational work-

shop is to provide parents and guardians with useful and informative information as to how

the Montessori Curriculum (Religion, Math, Language, Sensorial, Practical Life, Sensorial, Cosmic,

etc.) is implemented at Mary, Star of the Sea Early Learning Center from Preschool to Kindergarten.

Parishioners/guests are also welcomed to attend the workshop presentation by calling our ELC office
