4 October 12, th Ordinary Sunday Page Four Older children can be taught ways in which our dignity as human persons calls us to love others. Here love is not an emotion but a call to action. Our attitude should be to care for another as a person for whom God has made us responsible. This care for another cannot tolerate bias and discrimination, for human life is sacred and inviolable at every stage and in every situation, it is an indivisible good. We need to show care for all life and for the life of everyone. (EV 87) Children in grades 4 6 can be introduced to issues such as abortion and euthanasia as violations of our human dignity. They can be shown ways to care for the elderly, take part in prayer for an end to abortion, lend help to a neighbor in need or help at a food pantry in the community. These are just a few examples of caring for our neighbor. OCTOBER: RESPECT LIFE MONTH October is annually observed as Respect Life Month in Catholic Churches across our nation. Life is threatened because we no longer understand what it means to be human, and what our humanity calls forth from us in our responsibility to care for other persons. John Paul II in his encyclical the Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae, EV) tells us that For the Christian, it is an absolute imperative to respect, love and promote the life of every brother and sister, in accordance with the requirements of God s bountiful love in Jesus Christ. n. 77 Respect is the acknowledgement that all human persons are made in the image of God. It is important that children learn at an early age to recognize that they are a human person because they possess a God given dignity. This can be done by emphasizing their Heavenly Father s love for them. See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are Beloved, we are God s children now. (1 John 3:16) In every child which is born and in every person who lives or dies we see the image of God s glory. We celebrate this glory in every human being, a sign of the living God, an icon of Jesus Christ. (EV 84) Respect obligates us to revere and honor not only others, but ourselves as well. Young children can learn to respect themselves by how they: treat their bodies; what they watch on T.V. or DVD; what games they play; what time they take to pray and thank God for His gifts to them; how they respect their parents. Students in junior and senior high school need to be engaged in the life issues of our day. In order to build a culture of life, we must be actively pro life and contribute to the renewal of society through the promotion of the common good. It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop. (EV 101) A catechesis on basic moral and life principles found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church give students a foundation for promoting the culture of life in their daily living.

12 October 12, th Ordinary Sunday Page Twelve

13 October 12, th Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen I mentioned last week that my wife s niece Jessica and her best friend Cory were married recently. What I didn t mention and what seems appropriate to mention now, in consideration of today s readings is that because the priest who married them (Fr. Andrew) couldn t attend the evening reception, Jessica asked me if I would say grace before the meal. I was honored to do so. I noted before I began, however, that while saying grace at every meal is good and proper, saying grace at this particular meal was especially good and proper because it would be the first meal that Cory and Jessica would share as husband and wife. Then I asked everyone in attendance to just consider this for a second. I asked them to think of all the meals they ve shared over the years with persons they love. All of the hot dogs in the back yard. All of the burgers and fries in the car. All of the pizzas on Friday night in front of the TV. I maintained that regardless of venue and regardless of fare, sharing a meal with someone you love is an intimate even sacred act. Which, I said, is the very essence of the Mass Fr. Andrew celebrated earlier in the day. For what is Eucharist if not Jesus sharing an intimate and sacred meal with the persons he loves? Not to mention a foreshadowing of the heavenly banquet All of which brings us to today s readings. My mouth nearly waters to hear Isaiah speaking of the feast: On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) St. Ferdinand Parish Jesus then speaks in parables to the religious elite, explaining that the kingdom of heaven is like a wedding banquet hosted by a king for his son. The king dispatches his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but the guests refuse. The king sends his servants a second time, telling them to say, Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast. They refuse again, killing the servants, and the bad guys get their due recompense. Finally the king sends his servants out into the world to gather all they can find, bad and good alike, filling the entire hall. But one of these guests is not appropriately dressed, prompting the king to ask, My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment? When the guest has no response, the king directs his attendants, Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. At first blush, this seems harsh. At second blush, it s concerning for all of us who claim to follow the Christ. Per a popular maxim, 90% of success is just showing up. This may play in some contexts, but not in discipleship. If the wedding garment represents our repentance and the turning of our hearts in faith, then our actions must ever grow from this recognition of Jesus as Lord. In other words, we need to wear Christ every day. Every day, we need to ponder our own invitation to the feast, and saying grace, accordingly prepare.
