Amos 6:1a, 4-7 / r Timothy 6:rr-16 / Luke 16:19-31
My husband and ! have been married more than three years-most of the time,
happily. occasionally a disagreement morphs into an argument, which
sometimes turns into an actual fight. when we eventually apologize and
recommit to each other, my husband often reminds us that when we married
we didn't enter into a contract-we committed to a covenant' ln a contract, the
parties focus on "What's in it for me"; in a covenant, each party actively works
toward the other's good. When we treat our marriage like a contract instead of
a covenant, our relationship suffers'
Today,s ,."idingr from Amos and St. Luke challenge our commitment to our
covenant bond. the lsraelites were in covenant relationship with God, meaning
they had responsibilities to God as well as one another' Unfortunately, the
people in the readings didn't heed the covenant-the rich in Amos'time were
oblivious and complacent; the man in the gospelwas aware of Lazarus, but he
did nothing to help him. We too are covenanted with God and God's children'
We aren,t j|st people who happen to be along for the ride to heaven; as a result
of the covenant, we have responsibilitles to actively care for one another,
especially those in need.
It,s about more than just occasionally handing money to a homeless person' lt's
also about consciously incorporating this active care more deeply into our
lives-into our purchar.r, oW politiial activism, our'career choices, our free
of our covenant bond can't be an afterthought' As in a healthy
itmust be at the heart of our relationship with others and with God'

EUCHA}?ISTIC ADORATION - October Znd
"The holy hour in our modern rdt race is necessaryfor authentic prayer. Our world
is one of speed in which intensity of movement is a substitute for lack of purpose;
where noise is invoked to drown out the whisperings'of conscience; where talkt
talk, talk gives the impression that we are doing something when really we are
not;where activity kills self-knowledge won by contemplation---"
you aie invited to spend an hour (or other increment) ," ;:#;iiiJr'lt:;,ti;:"OCTOBER 4TF{ (Friday)-FEl\5T OF 5T. FRANCI S OF ASSIS*

de ar PAD Rf,
O I jurt got rny nat) driuer's license, anil mry wtfe is pressuring me to
stgn up to be an organ donor. Are organ transplants permitted by
the Cathalic Church?
Yes, under certain conditions. The Catechism of *trCatholic Church affirms that "Organ transplants are inconformity with the moral law if the physical and
psychological dangers and risks to the donor are
proportionate to the good that is sought for therecipient" (2296).
Organ transplants from a dead person to a living personmust fulfill two additional criteria: 1) The donor mustgive free and informed consent prior to death, or thosewho legitimately speak on the donor's behalf must do so
at the time of death; and 2) the donor must be dead
before the tissue can be harvested-in. other words, thedonor must not be declared dead prematurely, nor maythe donor's death be hastened just to use the organs.
The Catechism tdds, "Organ donation after death is a
noble and meritorious act and is to be encouraged as an
expression of generous solidarity. "
The transplantation of organs from a living donor mustfulfill two criteria: 1) the removal of the organ must notseriously impair the donor's health or bodily function;md 2) the donor must make an informed and freedecision recognizing the potential risks involved.
