2 ARE YOU BEING CALLED? As baptized Christians, we are called to be the body of Christ here on earth. In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul says: Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them: if prophecy, in proportion to the faith; if ministry, in ministering; if one is a teacher, in teaching; if one exhorts, in exhortation; if one contributes, in generosity; if one is over others, with diligence; if one does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. What are some of the gifts you have been given by God? Are you a welcoming person? Can you read well aloud? Do you have a heart for the sick; the homebound; the bereaved? Have you enjoyed doing acts of service? Do you sing or play an instrument well? Take time in the next few weeks to discern how God may be calling you to become more involved at St. Thomas Becket Parish by using your talents and giving of your time. If you feel called, let someone on the Parish Staff know and we ll put you in touch with the person who heads that group. Here s a list of ministries at St. Thomas Becket: Worship/Prayer: Eucharistic Ministers, Music Ministry, Sacristans, Lectors, Ushers, Altar Servers and Spiritual Life Committee Education: RCIA, SPRED and Catechists Service: Ministry of Care, Food Pantry, Bereavement Ministry, Prayer Network and Hospitality Parish Life: Seniors, Men s Club, Women s Guild Social Justice/Advocacy Thanking you in advance!

3 Happy National Grandparents Day ~ to all of those who are grandparents and to all who have been blessed with loving grandparents! The readings today remind me of my own grandparents and the many memories I have of them. St. Paul says in his letter to the Romans: owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another. The one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Love one another! I was blessed to know my great-grandmother, two grandmothers and one grandfather. They loved their grandchildren well. Memories of family gatherings at Christmas, Easter and birthday parties abound. We took vacations to Michigan with my two grandmas. I remember sitting on the couch with Grandma Sophie as she tried her best to teach this left-handed girl to crochet!! Love is what I felt from my grandparents. My grandparents loved me I felt that and knew it deep down in my bones. They were examples of openness, hospitality and unconditional love. I hope to be that kind of grandma for my grandchildren (God- willing!). God calls us to love others like that. Whether we re grandparents or not, how can we make our brothers and sisters in Christ feel loved? Feel special? Feel valued and welcome? Remember your grandparents today and always. Paula Kowalkowski Z okazji Dnia Dziadków składamy najlepsze życzenia wszystkim babciom i dziadkom jak również tym, którzy mieli kochających dziadków. Dzisiejsze czytania przypominają mi o moich dziadkach i o wielu wspomnieniach jakie mam o nich. w. Paweł mówi w Li cie do Rzymian: nikomu nie bądźcie nic dłużni poza wzajemna miłością. Kto bowiem miłuje bliźniego, wypełnił Prawo. Miłujcie się nawzajem! Miałam zaszczyt znać swoją prababcię, obie babcie i jednego dziadka. Kochali bardzo swoich wnuków. Mam wspaniałe wspomnienia z rodzinnych spotkań w Boże Narodzenie, Wielkanoc i wielu przyjęć urodzinowych. Pamiętam wakacje w Michigan z moimi dwoma babciami. Pamiętam jak babcia Zosia, siedząc ze mną na kanapie, starała się nauczyć tą leworęczną dziewczynkę robienia na szydełku! Miło ć - czułam to od swoich dziadków. Dziadkowie mnie kochali - wiedziałam o tym i czułam to głęboko w swoim sercu. Byli przykładami otwarto ci, go cinno ci i bezwarunkowej miło ci. Mam nadzieję, że będę taką babcią dla moich wnuków (je li Bóg je da!) Bóg wzywa nas do miłowania innych w ten sam sposób. Czy jeste my dziadkami, czy nie, w jaki sposób możemy okazać miło ć naszym braciom i siostrom w Chrystusie? Aby czuli się oni wyjątkowo? Aby czuli się docenieni i mile widziani? Pamiętaj o swoich dziadkach dzisiaj i zawsze... Paula Kowalkowski September 9, 2018 Twenty Third Sunday in Ordinary Time 3

6 The Spiritual Life committee will again be offering an opportunity to read an outstanding Catholic/Christian book and discuss it with other parishioners in a faith sharing format. The sessions will begin on Tuesday, September 18, after the 9:00 Mass and will continue every other week for 5 sessions. The book that will be read and discussed is another Henri Nouwen book, The Return of the Prodigal Son, a very highly recommended book that is listed among the 25 books that every Christian should read. Nouwen, who died in 1996, was a world renowned Catholic priest, professor and pastor who wrote over 30 books on the spiritual life. Using Rembrandt s painting of the parable of the Prodigal Son as inspiration, Nouwen looks at the parable from the perspective of the younger son, the elder son, and the father and invites us to apply it to our life. A study guide from Henry Nouwen s website will be used for the discussion, and books (used) will be ordered for the very affordable price of $4. Please call JoRene Anderson ( ) or the rectory to sign up so that we may order the correct number of books. This is a very friendly group that would love to see new participants.

Question: What is the history behind feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 14? Answer: Emperor Constantine's mother, Helena, is credited with having discovered the true cross around 330. She traveled to the Holy Land and uncovered the places associated with Jesus' life. Legend has it that Helena uncovered three crosses but was not able to detect the true cross until each of them was laid on a leper. Only one of them cured the leper, proving it to be the true cross. A great church was built at the site, and soon various portions of the cross were sent to other churches as relics to be venerated. The day after the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, September 14, 335, the actual cross was displayed for veneration. Egeria, a women traveler to Jerusalem around the year 386, kept a diary that has survived. She tells of the unique veneration of the wood of the cross that took place on Good Friday, something maintained ritually to this very day. The Exaltation of the Holy Cross focuses on the gift of love that Jesus manifested by his total gift of self, offered for all. The cross, the ultimate form of capital punishment in its day, has become for us the ultimate symbol of love and triumph over evil and death. 10 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Parish Community
