Any homebound member or shut-in may

MARRIAGE PREPARATIO�
It is necessary to contact a priest 6 months

Pre-marriage preparation is also required
for the Sacrament of Marriage.
There is an axiom that states, “Not to decide is to decide.” This saying was popular in the turbulent times of the Vietnam War. It
urged us not to allow others to answer the moral questions raised by our nation’s involvement in that terrible conflict, but to
decide for ourselves. Making such choices is never easy. Avoiding them is common. Jesus, for his part, was not only a gallant
risk-taker, but a clear decision-maker. As he pursued the mission to which the Father called him, he continually decided for us
and for the Father. He worked hard to lay out a scenario that would enable others to make similar choices. Never did he make
decisions for others or force others into decisions, even decisions that had eternal ramifications. Jesus is inviting us to make
such decisions today. We won’t be absolutely sure. What is sure, however, is the command that issues from God’s word: Take
the risk. Decide! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE TWENTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME PAGE TWO
EUCHARISTIC ADORATIO�
There will be an opportunity for
parishioners to spend time in Eucharistic
Adoration on Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will
begin at 12:00 noon and continue until
Benediction, which will be held at 7:00 pm
in St. Patrick Church. Come and spend
some time with our Eucharistic Lord.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIO�
The Eucharist was never meant to be only “comfort food,”
something that makes us feel warm and satisfied. It is to be
bread for the journey, nourishment for the task that God has
set for our community and for each one of us. Thus it is not
surprising to see some walk away in today’s Gospel, for they
understood that recognizing Jesus as the bread of life is a
commitment to changing one’s life. St. Augustine, whose feast
we celebrate this week, once observed that in celebrating the
Eucharist we become what we receive, the Body of Christ. As
we conclude the series of reflections in John’s Gospel on Jesus
as the bread of life, it is appropriate to think about the role that
the Eucharist plays in our lives and in our parish. It is in the
Eucharist that we are nourished and renew our commitment in
faith to serve the Lord. How does the parish social ministry
carry out that mandate? How do you carry it out in your own
life? Is it related in any way to the celebration of the Eucharist?
How does celebrating Mass Sunday after Sunday make a
difference in your life and in the world? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

attending these meetings, they are intended to help a person
decide whether they want to continue learning about the faith.
Attendees at this stage are known as Inquirers. If you have been
pondering becoming Catholic or are Catholic, but have not
