TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 21, 2011
A Word from Our Pastor
My Dear Family in Christ,
The second reading from the letter to Romans
begins: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and
knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33). This is a profession
of faith. It is based on Paul’s experience as a believer and
apostle; the fullness of God has been offered to him
experientially. I should like to suggest this passage for our
consideration this week.
God is not a concept. God is not an idea or force.
We are fortunate to know God personally, and that means
as a person. We must turn to the depth of God. All ancient
peoples and cultures had their gods. The chosen people
had not their gods, but the LORD, the One who is creator
and sustainer of all that is. This is not limited to understanding,
but is an invitation to accept, through faith, a
personal God. By personal, I mean the capacity to relate, to
make commitments and live out of conviction.
One does not respond to theories or concepts with
conviction, but evidence. That is the basis for a twofold
exchange. This God that has been fully disclosed by Jesus
of Nazareth is Father, Abba. This demands faith because it
is beyond reason. How can one believe in one God yet
three persons? Only in the living out of this relationship by
the Son do we come to an understanding and acceptance of
this divine mystery.
The knowledge of God is not so much information
and facts, but an invitation to the disclosure of God, who
has fully come into the world in the Son, who in turn
entrusts us to the Holy Spirit. This summarizes the riches,
wisdom, and knowledge of God. It is ours when we place
our trust in the unsearchable ways of the divine gift that has
been fully disclosed in love. He gave his life to set us free.
Fr. Ron
Lectors for Mass
Lord, make me a hollow reed
so that your voice will be heard by all who hear me.
Free me of excessive concern over my performance.
Convert my feeling of nervousness and
turn all my apprehension into an energy
for proclaiming your word with power and authority.
May your Spirit live in me and
fill the holy word that I proclaim.
Do you feel beckoned to become a Lector or Minister of
the Word? For more information, please contact Gary
Lewis at gm4solutions@aol.com.
Please call Karen Sabo at 303-776-0737, ext. 109 or e-mail

1943
Farewell Reception
for Sr. Margaret Jo
Sr. Margaret Jo Brown was born in Steamboat
Springs in 1921, but was raised in
Longmont from the age of two. She
graduated from St. John’s School in 1936
and from Longmont High School at 9th and
Main Streets in 1940. She entered the
Convent of the Sisters of St. Francis of
Assisi in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August
30th of that same year and took her religious
vows in 1943. She returned to St. John’s in
1968. At that time
she saw the needs of
elderly persons,
both in the parish and local rest
homes. She was able to organize
special Masses, dinners, the
sacrament of Anointing, and
Eucharistic visits for St. John’s
shut-ins. Throughout the years, Sr.
Margaret Jo enjoyed the privilege
of being at St. John’s as a student,
music teacher, and pastoral assistant.
While enjoying retirement, she was still
Teaching piano
active in several church and prayer groups and the Franciscan
Associates. After years of service, Sr. Margaret Jo is retiring
to the Franciscan Mother House in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
A reception for her will be held after all morning Masses on
September 11th. Please come sign a memory wall hanging,
say your farewells, and enjoy a dessert. For more
information, please call Berta Egan at 303-776-2743.

St. John’s Food Bank
and Outreach
By John Williams
At least 80% of food bank families with children
depend on the USDA’s National School Lunch Program
which feeds nearly 21 million children from low-income
households. However, when school is out for the summer,
fewer than 15% are fed through the Summer Food Service
Program. As we near the end of summer and school is
about to resume, we wish to share the efforts we have made
to keep the children of our Food Bank clients fed, based
largely on the generosity of our parish.
Since the beginning week of June, our Food Bank
has been adding extra items to all our medium boxes
(3-4 in family), our large boxes (5-6 in family) and extralarge
boxes (7 or more in family). Almost every week we
were able to include cereal because of the great response of
the parish for these donations. We also added macaroni and
cheese, tuna, hot dogs, fresh cheese, eggs, peanut butter and
jelly, and extra loaves of bread. Some of these were not
weekly, but most were. These made up for the breakfast and
lunch meals that the children would otherwise have had at
school. We are quite sure that the nutritional needs of many
of the children in our families would not have been met
without this extra service.
The feedback from our Food Bank families has
been impressive. So many of our clients have expressed
their gratitude to our drivers. Some have even written to us
with loads of thanks. We would like to share one such letter
with you.
St. John’s Food Bank,
Please accept my apology for not writing to you
sooner and thanking you for the wonderful food box your
organization has been providing for us each Wednesday.
This food box has helped cut our grocery expenses and we
appreciate that very much.
Our driver is wonderful. She is very punctual, very
friendly, and always has a smile on her face. Please let her
know that we appreciate her very much.
On behalf of us and all the other food bank families
who receive these food boxes, we thank you. Your organization
is doing a great and needed job.
Sincerely,
We are so pleased about this service. Thank you!
A Grateful Food Bank Family

#14898

CHURCH OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST LONGMONT, COLORADO
Witness the Exciting Foundations of the Church
with Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom
The Acts of the Apostles is more than a history of the first Christians. It is an incredible story of the power of the Holy Spirit.
After the Ascension of Christ, the Apostles appeared worried and confused. They had spent three years in the presence of
our Savior and our God, and now He had returned to His Father. But He did not leave them alone. Christ sent the apostles
the Holy Spirit to guide, instruct, and empower them.
In Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom, you will witness how the apostles, through the
power of the Holy Spirit, continued the saving mission of Christ on earth. You will see
how the Kingdom of God is truly among us in the Holy Church established by Christ,
and you will come to a greater appreciation for the entire Catholic faith.
Join us for Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom in St. Catherine Room beginning
Thursday, September 8th at 9:15 a.m. and continuing each Thursday. For more
information or to register, please call Betty Garvert, 303-772-0620 or Pauline Higgins

Un mensaje por parte
del párroco
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas,
El sábado pasado yo participé en un retiro de parejas.
Lo que me llamó la atención fue la diferencia en la
edad de los participantes. Me di cuenta de que el amor es
siempre vivo. Estas parejas se comprometieron de pasar un
fin de la semana para profundizar a su relación matrimonial.
Verdaderamente, no hay nada más importante dentro la
familia que el calor sobre todo de la pareja.
El matrimonio es el base de la familia y de cualquier
sociedad que está viva. Todos nosotros pertenecemos
a una familia. Mientras todo la relación entre la pareja es
esencial para una familia cristiana.
La palabra de Dios nos invita a una repuesta a la
riqueza la que el Señor nos reveló a través el Hijo. Dios
nos ama tanto pero nosotros también tenemos el deber de
no solamente creer pero crecer en la fe. Dentro la familia
hay momentos para compartir. Si la fe esta importante la
familia toma algunos momentos durante la semana de rezar
juntos. Hay oraciones tradicionales: el rosario, el Padre
nuestro, Ave María, y una lectura de la biblia. La familia
no solamente comparte el mismo techo pero también el
calor del hogar. Y no solo el rezar pero yo quisiera
recomendar tiempos para comunicar sobre la familia y cada
persona dentro la familia.
La familia no es principalmente un hecho de la
naturaleza pero más que todo la comunidad mas intímate de
compartir y crecer como persona.
Si, los retiros ayudan pero todos tienen que respetar
y profundizar la riqueza y la tradición de cada uno.
P. Reinaldo

Porqué Servir en un Ministerio
Servir como Ujier/Acomodador
Un mensaje por parte del Vicario Parroquial
Un ujier/acomodador es un ministerio esencial para
la parroquia. Es un ministerio de hospitalizada. Un ujier/
acomodador da la bienvenida a los fieles cuando entran a la
iglesia. También ayudan a las personas a encontrar un lugar
donde sentarse si es necesario. Los ujieres/acomodadores
son responsables de recoger las ofrendas de pueblo durante
la colecta y de mantener el orden cuando invitan a la gente
a comulgar. Ellos o ellas también dan la despedida a los
fieles después de la misa.
En el capitulo doce de su carta a los Romanos, San
Pablo escribe, “Que entre ustedes el amor fraterno sea verdadero
cariño, y adelántense al otro en el respeto mutuo…
compartan con los hermanos necesitados, y sepan acoger a
los que estén de pasada” (es decir sean hospitalarios). Este
es un llamado que todos tenemos. Un ujier/acomodador
lleva esta misión acabo de una manera específica con su
servicio en este ministerio durante la misa. Dando la bienvenida
a los hermanos y tratándoles con amor y paciencia.
Ayudando en lo que sea necesario con respeto y honestidad.
Recibir a un hermano o hermana con una sonrisa y un
saludo puede cambiarle la vida a alguien. Si no cambia su
vida, por lo menos puede cambiará su día. Hacer sentir a un
emano o hermana que es parte de nuestra comunidad y que
es bienvenido(a) es recibir a Cristo mismo como lo recibieron
Marta y María; las hermanas de Lázaro.
Lo hospitalidad es una gran virtud. Su fundamento
es el amor al cual todos estamos llamados y pare el cual
fuimos creados.
Pbro. Gerónimo González

What is Catholic Relief Services?
Catholic Relief Services was founded in 1943 by the
Catholic Bishops of the United States to serve World War II
survivors in Europe. Since then, they have expanded in size
to reach more than 100 million people in more than 100
countries on five continents. Their mission is to assist impoverished
and disadvantaged people overseas, working in
the spirit of Catholic social teaching to promote the
sacredness of human life and the dignity of the human
person. Although their mission is rooted in the Catholic
faith, their operations serve people based solely on need,
regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. Within the United
States, CRS engages Catholics to live their faith in solidarity
with the poor and suffering of the world. To learn more

A Legacy Gift
Would you consider committing resources to the future of
St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and School? Bequests
and legacy giving are a major revenue source for many parishes.
You can easily accomplish this through an
outright gift or a planned gift via your will, revocable trust,
retirement plan, or life insurance policy.
Your legacy is a reflection of your life, work, and faith.
Your legacy gift will honor the organizations or people
who have had an impact on your life and will guarantee
that future generations have the same opportunities.
For more information or to make arrangements, please
contact Theresa Valencia at 303-776-0737, ext 111
or theresav@johnthebaptist.org.
