Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Some things about human nature don't change,
even over the course of centuries. When we
celebrate a holiday, we have a meal; when we
celebrate a significant event, we have a feast. In
today's first reading, Lady Wisdom is setting a feast,
a sign of celebrating the covenant that Israel has
with God. Israel's central remembrance of its saving
Exodus covenant is the Passover meal. So it is
natural--and not coincidental--that the Christian
celebration of the new covenant sealed by the blood
of Christ on the cross happens at a meal, our
Eucharist, offered first by Jesus in the context of
Passover remembrance. It is easy for us,
sometimes, to forget the very long and rich religious
and human origins of our eucharistic feasting on the
bread and cup that are the Body and Blood of Jesus.
Today, and for the next few Sundays that we hear
the "Bread of Life" discourse from John, let us bring
to mind the loving covenant that God makes with us,
and be filled with great joy at this marvelous feast
we have come to attend!

Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction for Vocations
During the summer, the 30 minutes of Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction for Vocations prior to the 7:30
PM Mass in the Chotin Center was discontinued. The Pastoral Staff has decided not to resume this practice
in the future.
There are several reasons for this, both practical and liturgical (philosophical), presented here for your
consideration:
1) Having only 30 minutes of Adoration on the altar while preparing for a Mass may weaken the
creation of a space of silence which is so important a setting for Eucharistic Adoration. When
musicians are practicing, and people are setting up for Mass, and people are gathering in the space
where the Mass will take place – while the Blessed Sacrament is exposed - it can actually detract
from the benefit that can be received from Adoration at another time, one that is not so close to the
time of the beginning of Mass.
2) The documents of the Church pertaining to Eucharistic Adoration, emphasize the connection of
Adoration with the Mass, yet also discusses its distinctiveness. In the document Holy Communion
and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass, we read in Paragraph 82: “The plan of exposition
should carefully avoid anything which might somehow obscure the principal desire of Christ in
instituting the Eucharist, namely, to be with us as food, medicine, and comfort.” Exposition right before
the celebration of the Eucharist might be best conducted at another time, perhaps after the Liturgy,
but not right before.
We will certainly make it a priority to have dedicated times of Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction for our
parish community, such as during celebrations of the Liturgy of the Hours, as well as during Stations of the
Cross during Lent. Other special times will also be set for us to pray together in this unique way. The
Adoration Chapel is also available for our use at any time. Let us continue to pray that the Lord will call many
men and women to serve the Church’s needs!
Sponsor Couples Marriage Ministry
Our Lady of the Lake’s Sponsor Couple Program consists of married couples (married at least 3 years) who
meet with engaged couples to guide them to a better understanding of the sacrament and prepare them for
obstacles that they may face as a married couple.
The purpose of this program is to guide engaged couples to a better understanding of their relationship with
each other and the sacrament of marriage through discussions with a married couple. With divorce rates so
high, our church tries to do what it can to give engaged couples a good start on a successful marriage. We
use At Home Marriage Preparation by Jan & Lloyd Tate - training will be provided. This program consists of
5-7 meetings with an engaged couple in the sponsors’ home. The scheduling of these meetings is done by
the couples involved; therefore it is flexible. The program guides couples in discussion on various important
topics such as family of origin, communication, finances, spirituality, family planning and more. One of the
most important parts of this ministry is the sharing of experiences by the sponsor couple. No marriage is
perfect. Engaged couples need to know this. They need the tools to work through the difficulties. We try to
give them these tools. Married couples in this ministry often comment that their own marriages are enriched
through this process.
If you would like more information about this Marriage Ministry, please contact Beth Zima at 626-5671 x116.
OLL Men’s Spirituality Group
The OLL Men's Spirituality Group meets weekly to study the readings for the upcoming Sunday's

Center. No outside preparation is required.
Please call Tony Garner at (985) 705-2607 for more information.

Calling all Catechists...
Shhhh. Listen! Are you being called? In a “low whisper,” God called Elijah. Your call may come as a question
when registering your children for formation classes at Church, “Are you able to help”? Maybe it will come as
a stirring when you read your parish bulletin. Most often, God calls gently, nudging us a bit to draw our
attention. Listen! Is God calling you? At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus said: “Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the
age.” — Matthew 28:19-20
Our Lady of the Lake Parish School of Religion is in need of Catechists to spread the Good News to
the youth of the parish. But, taking up the challenge to spread the Good News may not be the only “nudge”
you feel in considering this invitation. Here are a few other compelling reasons to answer the call.
Reasons why you should say yes and become a Catechist:
1. The best way to learn is to teach! You will grasp things about our Faith that you may have not known.
2. Your own Faith will come alive!
3. You become an active participant in one of the essential responsibilities of a Church community.
4. You assist in bringing Christ to others.
5. You practice stewardship.
6. You show your own family that you value the Faith.
7. You become a role model.
8. Being a catechist brings joy.
9.
We are all called to be witnesses to the Gospel in our families and among our friends and neighbors — but
sometimes we hear a deeper call, feel a greater desire to convey our beliefs in a more formal, structured way.
It is then that we realize that we are being asked to proclaim the Gospel as “irreplaceable evangelizers”. In
short, we are called to be catechists.
If you are interested in being a catechist and sharing your faith with the 1 st -10 th grade students of the Parish
School of Religion, please contact Suzanne Blake in the Parish Life Center for more information.

Getting the Most Out of Spiritual Direction
The Archdiocesan Spirituality Center is offering
three 2-hour sessions on the basics of spiritual
direction. The sessions will focus on the purpose of
spiritual direction, its difference from pastoral
counseling, catechesis, and faith companioning as
well as guidance on how to prepare for spiritual
direction. The focus will be on the participants as
directees. These sessions are designed for those
currently going to spiritual direction who want to
review and renew their approach to this discernment
conversation and those who are considering
beginning a spiritual direction conversation.
Presenter: Sr. Noel Toomey, OP, Wed. Aug 22, 29,
7-9pm at the Archdiocesan Spirituality Center, 2505
Maine Avenue, Metairie. Cost $40.00 (can be
adjusted as needed)

Are You Having Marital Problems?
In our society, with the pressures of conflicting
demands and too little time, personal relationships
are often taken for granted. With all the distractions,
we easily forget that strong, caring, loving
relationships take work. Without attention and care,
marriages wither. Couples slowly and quietly drift
apart or are being torn apart by terrible words and
actions. Many are married in name only or just stay
together “for the sake of the kids”. For many, it has
been ages since they knew the joy of a loving
relationship. When infidelity, alcohol abuse, or drug
dependency is involved, the situation may seem
even more hopeless.
Retrouvaille is helping couples put the pieces back
together and rebuild loving relationships.
Retrouvaille consists of a weekend experience and
a series of 6 follow-up sessions. The next
weekends are in Lafayette on August 24-26 and in
Baton Rouge on September 21-23.
If you want more information, or if you want to
register for the Retrouvaille program, call 337-456-
8075 for Lafayette and 225-261-1901 in Baton
Rouge. A non-refundable registration fee is
required to confirm your reservation, food and
lodging. There is a limited capacity so early
registration is necessary. No couple is ever denied
the chance to heal and renew their marriage
because they are facing financial difficulties.

By prayer, education and by exercising our rights as
citizens, let us never cease defending the only notion of
freedom worthy of our dignity as persons and sturdy
enough to support our democratic way of life. And it’s this:
"Freedom is not the power of doing what we like, but the
right of being able to do what we ought."
This is the flame of true freedom, which we should keep
burning brightly, not only for our own sake, but also for the
sake of many people in many countries who suffer terrible
persecution and even death because of their religious beliefs.
