Stewardship
Reflecting on God’s Word
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
I watch most of the children in my three
brothers’ families growing into what is
called “emerging adulthood.” It must be
very difficult at mes for parents, only
being able to watch, hope, and pray as
their children start to move away from
home and begin to make their own way
into the world. Will they be safe, make
the right choices, be happy?

Making use of images from nature,
scripture reminds us that God gives the
growth, whether it is to mighty cedars
springing from small shoots, ripened
grain sprou ng from the blade, or a fully
grown mustard plant emerging from the
niest of seeds to offer its large branches
as housing for the birds.
Pope Francis Prayer Intention & a Pentecostal Presence
with Immigrants
Such poe c language calls us to reflect
on the mystery of the kingdom of God,
whose seeds were found in the various
covenants extended to Noah, Abraham,
Moses, and David, and then fully
enfleshed in Jesus so many millennia
ago. This kingdom con nues to sprout in
our day, o en where least expected.
Assisted Suicide Panel Presentation
Some mes it breaks through like a
mighty cedar, but more o en it is a
quieter blossoming, suddenly emerging
like stalks of grain, or the first signs of life
carried in a mother’s body. I am sure
God has worried for all the children of
every age who have filled the earth. The
kingdom of life won by Christ con nues
to have the power to carry all God’s sons
and daughters into the loving arms of
the God Jesus taught us to call Father.

Choir Fire
For years, I simply didn't know that singing with the choir at Mass
would energize and increase an inner joy during the week. As part of
the choir, I am eager to a end Mass, to sing close to the altar, and to explore new songs
that are also prayers. Each day, humming or prac cing bits of new songs, I unconsciously
pray more and more in the music. These songs have given me an extra inner defense,
comfor ng me and giving me hope during difficult mes. Some mes these tunes just pop
out, and I sing when I'm feeling happy. Musical prayers have become a part of my life and
are a gi I didn't have un l I joined the choir to learn new songs.

What be er way to combine your love of God and your love for music than joining your

What was Happening in the First Century?
Localized conflicts with Jewish authori es caused the Apostles to
spread outwards away from Jerusalem. A large Chris an
community formed in Syrian An och and among those who went
to that city, was St. Peter who became the first Bishop of An och.
The word “bishop” comes from the Greek episcopus which means
overseer. Around 53 AD, Peter appointed Evodius to be the
second Bishop of An och, and Peter moved on to become Rome’s
first Bishop. In 68 A.D. Evodius was followed by St. Igna us of
An och who would face martyrdom a er holding his office for
nearly 40 years.
By the early 60s, both Peter and Paul were in Rome, Paul under
house arrest a er being jailed in Caesarea and transferred to
Rome when he appealed his case to Caesar, which was his right as
a Roman ci zen. Unfortunately, the Caesar was Nero, who had
li le use for Chris ans. The Chris an community in Rome
a racted many people of the lower economic and educa onal
classes, as these tend to be the people who most understand their
dependence upon God. The elite in Rome made accusa ons
against these Chris ans that seem odd to us today. They accused
the Chris ans of being atheists who engaged in incest and
cannibalism, and that they were poli cal enemies of Rome. The
Chris ans were called atheists because they refused to worship
the pagan gods. By this me, most Romans no longer actually
believed in the pagan gods such as Jupiter, Hera, Minerva,
Mercury, and dozens more, but they s ll par cipated in the public
worship of these dei es by offering sacrifices and incense. It was
more a sign of poli cal unity than it was of religious faith.
Chris ans also refused to offer incense before the statue of Nero
Caesar, who called himself a god, because this too violated their
firm monotheism. However, Rome saw it as a treasonous refusal
of patrio c duty.
Within the community of believers, the terms of brother, sister,
father, were used, leading outsiders to believe this indicated
biological rela onships, not a spiritual ones. As some of these
brothers and sisters were married, the Romans believed their
unions be incestuous. And since it was known that Chris ans
claimed to celebrate a sacrifice and consume the body and blood
of their leader, those unfamiliar with the meaning of those words
assumed it was a cannibalis c ritual.
In 64 AD, Nero was obsessed with building a palace complex and
circus in a poor area of Rome. In order to do this, the quarters of
the poor who lived in that area would have to be demolished.
Nero failed to receive the endorsement of his senators to go
forward with this plan. Mysteriously one night, a fire broke out
destroying everything in the area where Nero wished to build.
Many believed that this was not an accident; but that Nero
himself had started the fire in order to obtain the land. Nero
needed a scapegoat, and so he blamed the already unpopular
Chris ans. This resulted in a persecu on of the Church in Rome.
These incidents were documented by the Roman historian Tacitus.
Chris ans were arrested, and put to death in gruesome ways.
Some were dipped in tar and set afire to be torches for circus’s
night games. Others were dressed in the skins of animals and
starving dogs would be set loose to kill and devour them, some
were crucified, and others faced wild animals such as gers,
leopards, and lions which were also kept in a near starva on
condi on fran c for food. St. Peter also was put to death in Nero’s
circus. St. Irenaeus writes that as Peter was crucified he requested
to be placed upside down on the cross, as he was unworthy to die
in the same manner as Christ.
Around this same me, St. Paul was denied his appeal by Caesar
and was put to death by beheading on the road outside the City of
Rome. The basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls now stands at
that site.
And, so the history of the Church con nues . . .

Reflexionemos sobre la
Palabra de Dios
Onceavo Uno del Tiempo Ordinario
Veo que la mayoría de los hijos en las
familias de mis tres hermanos están
llegando a esa etapa que algunos llaman
la edad de “adultos emergentes”. Debe
ser muy di cil a veces para los padres ver
a sus hijos salir del hogar y comenzar su
propio camino en el mundo; orar y
esperar lo mejor para ellos es lo que
hacen los padres en ese momento
mientras se preguntan: ¿estarán seguros,
harán decisiones correctas, serán felices?
Las Escrituras usan imágenes de la
naturaleza para recordarnos que Dios da el
crecimiento, ya sea a los magníficos cedros,
que salen de pequeños retoños, a los
granos maduros que brotan de la espiga o
al arbusto que brota de una de las semillas
más pequeñas y ofrece sus ramas para que
los pájaros aniden en ellas.
Ese lenguaje tan poé co nos pide
reflexionar en el misterio del reino de
Dios, cuyas semillas estaban en los varios
pactos que se extendieron a Noé,
Abraham, Moisés y David hace muchos
milenios, y que después se encarnaron
plenamente en Jesús. Este reino con núa
brotando en nuestro empo, a menudo
donde menos lo esperamos.
Algunas veces brota como un magnífico
cedro, pero más a menudo florece de una
manera más discreta y emerge de súbito
como las espigas de los granos o como los
primeros signos de vida en el seno de una
madre. Estoy seguro de que Dios se ha
preocupado por todos sus hijos e hijas
que han poblado la erra en cada
generación. El reino de la vida que Cristo
ganó ene el poder también hoy en día
para llevar a todos los hijos e hijas de Dios
hacia los brazos de este Dios que Jesús
nos enseñó a llamar Padre.
—James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

Where are you going with your
Faith?
We are living in a different world today. Everything
is changing and something new is always in front of
us to learn about. Our experiences are always
different. Technology is at its highest level ever and
we are seeing new things happen all the time.
One of the blessings of our faith is the consistency we have in
doctrine through the centuries. While non-doctrinal traditions can
and do change, the basics of our Catholic Christian beliefs remain. It
is a great comfort and security to Catholics to know that the faith
handed down through the apostles is still ours today, although
emphasis and methods of teaching the faith may differ with the
needs of the people. Some people think that Catholicism should
change its teachings in order to be more in sync with today’s culture;
however throughout the ages the Church has always been countercultural and our beliefs rest on God’s Divine revelation in scripture
and tradition, not in popular opinion or cultural trends.
If you want to deepen your own faith life, I invite you to look into
Cursillo. It will make changes in your life and in how you understand
Catholicism and live your faith. Thousands of Catholics have gone
through Cursillo and have come away excited and proud of their
Catholic faith. This is your opportunity to look into Cursillo and
discover a revitalization of your faith.
Please contact Ron Accornero, St Norbert Parish Rep for Cursillo,
with any questions and for an application form. Call today at (714)
396-7295.
