4 August 16, th Ordinary Sunday Page Four LAUDATO SI WE ALL NEED TO CARE FOR OUR COMON HOME Pope Francis' new encyclical "Laudato Si:' On Care for Our Common Home" is addressed to "every person living on this planet." That means you. And, come to think of it, the encyclical also would apply to the astronauts living in the Interna onal Space Sta on, even though technically they're not on this planet. CHAPTER SIX -- ECCOLOGICAL EDUCATION AND SPIRITUALITY VI. SACRAMENTAL SIGNS AND THE CELEBRATION OF REST 233.The ideal is not only to pass from the exterior to the interior to discover the ac on of God in the soul, but also to discover God in all things. Saint Bonaventure teaches us that contempla on deepens the more we feel the working of God s grace within our hearts, and the be er we learn to encounter God in creatures outside ourselves. 236.In the Eucharist, fullness is already achieved; it is the living centre of the universe, the overflowing core of love and of inexhaus ble life. Joined to the incarnate Son, present in the Eucharist, the whole cosmos gives thanks to God. Indeed the Eucharist is itself an act of cosmic love: Yes, cosmic! Because even when it is celebrated on the humble altar of a country church, the Eucharist is always in some way celebrated on the altar of the world. VII. THE TRINITY AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CREATURES 238 VIII. QUEEN OF ALL CREATION Mary, the Mother who cared for Jesus, now cares with maternal affec on and pain for this wounded world. Just as her pierced heart mourned the death of Jesus, so now she grieves for the sufferings of the crucified poor and for the creatures of this world laid waste by human power. IX. BEYOND THE SUN At the end, we will find ourselves face to face with the infinite beauty of God (cf. 1 Cor 13:12), and be able to read with admira on and happiness the mystery. The importance of environmental educa on cannot be underes mated. It is able to affect ac ons and daily habits, the reduc on of water consump on, the sor ng of waste and even turning off unnecessary lights : An integral ecology is also made up of simple daily gestures which break with the logic of violence, exploita on and selfishness. Everything will be easier star ng with a contempla ve outlook that comes from faith: as believers, we do not look at the world from without but from within, conscious of the bonds with which the Father has linked us with all beings. By developing our individual, Godgiven capaci es, an ecological conversion can inspire us to greater crea vity and enthusiasm.

13 August 16, th Ordinary Sunday Page Thirteen I ve never used one myself, but over the years, I ve seen several work colleagues add well-known inspira onal tag lines beneath their signatures. Things like Quality is not an act, but a habit. Or In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. Or Keep always green the tree in your heart, and shining, the sun in your soul (OK I just made that last one up). My current favorite--knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing to not put it in a fruit salad-- is one I saw quite a while back but it comes to mind today as I consider the readings for this 20 th Sunday in Ordinary Time. And the reading in par cular that brings this to mind is the first reading, from Proverbs (which was wri en in part by Solomon, who most of us agree had a pre y good head on his shoulders): Wisdom has built her house, he begins, She has set up her seven columns; she has dressed her meat, mixed her wine; yes, she has spread her table. Is anybody hungry yet? I m hungry She has sent out her maidens; she calls from the heights out over the city: Let whoever is simple turn in here; To the one who lacks understanding, she says, Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed! Forsake foolishness that you may live; advance in the way of understanding. Paul s Le er to the Ephesians also addresses wisdom, and it should give us all pause. Brothers and sisters, he says, watch carefully how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, making Support Staff Mrs. Zofia Mazurek, Parish Secretary Sr. Kamila Wojdyla, Administrative Assistant Ms. Elizabeth Ceisel-Mikowska, Bulletin Editor Mr. Kamil Duda, Website Designer/Editor Liturgical Bro.

Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com) St. Ferdinand Parish the most of opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not con nue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord. Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when the crowd asked Jesus, What can we do to accomplish the works of God? Do you remember what Jesus said? He said: This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent. And this is where the lines between knowledge and wisdom and faith begin to blur. Knowledge and wisdom--conven onal wisdom, anyway-- can box us in. The crowds in Jesus day come to know that he performs mighty deeds. I d call that knowledge. They come to understand more deeply that he s a man of God. I d call that wisdom. A er feeding the five thousand, Jesus has them ea ng out of his hand, pre y much literally. But look what he does next. I am the living bread that came down from heaven, he says. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. Huh? This is too much for many in the crowd. And who can blame them? I mean, think of what Jesus is asking them to subscribe to. Knowledge and conven onal wisdom cannot help but balk at the Bread of Life discourse, but there comes a me when we have to throw such things out the window. And this, of course, is where faith comes in. It s good to have knowledge and wisdom. But faith can take us places that knowledge and wisdom cannot. Tomatoes in a fruit salad? That s just crazy talk.
