Pastor’s Corner...To update you on CDA, we are ahead <strong>of</strong> last year atthis time. Total raised is $150,521 with 471 gifts. That is21.71% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> parish and an average gift <strong>of</strong> $319.58. Thankyou for your generosity. We are <strong>of</strong>f to a good start but wehave a ways to go. It is not just reaching a goal. It is helpingas many as we can. Think about it and pray about it.<strong>The</strong> most important thing in life is to be a person <strong>of</strong>integrity, and to live rightly. Build on <strong>the</strong> following pillars:1. You are not a rat, so you don’t have to behave like one.You are a human being and a child <strong>of</strong> God. <strong>The</strong> mostimportant thing about you is your capacity for goodness.2. If you raise your status, make sure you raise yourself too.What sense does it make if you work hard at advancingyour career, but don’t work on your character? What does itmatter for you to be always in <strong>the</strong> limelight if your soul is indarkness? What does it matter if your bank account isbulging while your heart is empty?3. Take care <strong>of</strong> your conscience, and listen to it. If you livewithout a conscience, can you still call yourself a humanbeing?4. Do not be afraid <strong>of</strong> sacrifice. If your sole aim is to grab asmany pleasures as possible out <strong>of</strong> life, you are doing aterrible injustice to yourself. Without sacrifice and struggleyou can never grow up and discover who you are.5. Be faithful to your promises. To live loosely is to discoverone day, sooner or later, that you haven’t anchored yourboat to anything solid. When <strong>the</strong> storm strikes, you will findthat you are alone and adrift. Fidelity is a beautiful thing. Itis a precious stone, a true gem.6. Do not be ashamed <strong>of</strong> your beliefs and values. Withoutbeliefs and convictions, you are no better than a shipwithout a rudder or a port <strong>of</strong> destination.<strong>The</strong> essential thing is to do <strong>the</strong>will <strong>of</strong> God. It is not enough to merelylisten to <strong>the</strong> words <strong>of</strong> Christ. We have toact on <strong>the</strong>m, to live <strong>the</strong>m. O<strong>the</strong>rwise, weare building on sand.People may think <strong>the</strong>y arereligious and pious while failing hopelesslyto live by <strong>the</strong> teaching <strong>of</strong> Christ. Suchpeople are building on sand. <strong>The</strong>ir housewill not last. Those who base <strong>the</strong>ir lives on <strong>the</strong> teachings <strong>of</strong>Christ are able to withstand all assaults, temptations andcrises.A guy goes to <strong>the</strong> doctor’s <strong>of</strong>fice and <strong>the</strong> doctor says,“I haven’t seen you in a while.”<strong>The</strong> guy says, “I know, I’ve been sick!”Doctor, you’ve got to help me; I can’t stop thinkingI’m a goat.I see. And how long have you had this problem?Ever since I was a kid!“I think I’m a moth.”“I think you need a psychiatrist.”“I know.”“So why did you come in here to <strong>the</strong> gas station?”(Here it comes …)“<strong>The</strong> light was on!”Have a great week. Take Jesus for a ride this week.He wants to get out more.God bless! Fr. PatReflection Corner...<strong>The</strong> downturn in <strong>the</strong> housing market has taken its toll on plenty <strong>of</strong> people. From real estate agents to developers, from mortgagebankers to members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> construction trades, <strong>the</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> home building has severely curtailed economic activity in all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>seemployment sectors. <strong>The</strong> questionable practices <strong>of</strong> bundling, repackaging, and trading mortgage assets by various financial institutions aswell as outright fraud on <strong>the</strong> part <strong>of</strong> some buyers and sellers led to a banking crisis that threatened to swamp <strong>the</strong> financial industry anddestroy it much like <strong>the</strong> house that was built on sand that is described in today's Gospel. Many smaller banks and credit unions, whichcontinued to own <strong>the</strong> mortgages <strong>the</strong>y wrote, found <strong>the</strong>mselves in <strong>the</strong> enviable position <strong>of</strong> having solid assets. <strong>The</strong>y were never in anydanger <strong>of</strong> failing despite <strong>the</strong> buffets <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> economic storm.For <strong>the</strong> most part, <strong>the</strong> financial institutions that avoided trouble during <strong>the</strong> crisis lived by strong values that had been inculcatedinto <strong>the</strong> fiber <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir existence. <strong>The</strong> boards <strong>of</strong> directors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se institutions were not going to go out on a limb and try to find quick, easymoney. <strong>The</strong>y may not have been glamorous investments, but <strong>the</strong>ir worth was proven over time. <strong>The</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> banks and credit unions thatmore easily survived.Holding on to solid values in life can help individuals survive as well. In <strong>the</strong> Gospel, Jesus talks about those who hear His wordsand <strong>the</strong>n put <strong>the</strong>m into practice. Taking <strong>the</strong> values that Jesus teaches and making <strong>the</strong>m a part <strong>of</strong> everyday life ensures our connection toHim. When we think or act with <strong>the</strong> values <strong>of</strong> Jesus in <strong>the</strong> forefront <strong>of</strong> our minds we build a firm foundation as a structure for our lives.Forgiveness, love, a strong faith, compassion toward o<strong>the</strong>rs, patience, a desire for justice, mercy, and a spirit <strong>of</strong> prayer are strongfoundation blocks for a holy life.Scripture Readings...Sun 3/6 Dt 11:18, 26-28, 32/Rom 3:21-25, 28/Mt 7:21-27Mon 3/ Tb 1:3; 2:1b-8/Mk 12:1-12Tues 3/8 Tb 2:9-14/Mk 12:13-17Wed 3/9 Jl 2:12-18/2 Cor 5:20---6:2/Mt 6:1-6, 16-18Thu 3/10 Dt 30:15-20/Lk 9:22-25Fri 3/11 Is 58:1-9a/Mt 9:14-15Sat. 3/12 Is 58:9b-14/Lk 5:27-32Sun 3/13 Gn 2:7-9; 3:1-7/Rom 5:12-19www.blessedsacramentscotts.org <strong>March</strong> 6, <strong>2011</strong> │ 3
