Who Is Wealthy?

The rich man walked away from Jesus for he was a wealthy man; yet, the Jews believed and most of us today would agree that if you are wealthy your are blessed. However, Jesus teaches that the rich are not necessarily blessed. Wealth is irrelevant to God. What is relevant is how you use your wealth. If you use your wealth for your own benefit, then you are no different than the rich man. However, if, after meeting your own suitable needs, you use your wealth for the benefit of others, then you understand Jesus’ teaching.

Not only does giving of your money or other resources generate good in others, it also generates joy in your heart.

“How hard it is for those who have wealth

to enter the kingdom of God!"

“Good teacher, what must I do

to inherit eternal life?"

Human Dignity: What Is It? When looking at the homeless, the destitute, and the depraved, many degrade those people because of their circumstances; whereas the Catholic Church, in light of Jesus’ teaching reveals the human dignity of every person — no matter what they look like. Each person is created in the image of God. Created in the image of God, the human person possesses an inherent and inalienable dignity,

which is never to be violated. Although one earns dignity by one’s acts, the human person

possesses a prior and irreducible level of dignity which we are all obliged to recognize” (JPII CA). Poverty does not diminish one’s dignity. Neither does one’s wealth cement it. Dignity is God given. No one can degrade or deny another person of their dignity. Nor can anyone earn or demand it. It is a divine gift. This is the secret to justice. Justice ensures each person of their right to respect the freedom of religion, the freedom of private ownership, and of course to food, shelter and clothing. Each person has these rights and freedoms, but each person is responsible to guarantee these rights and freedoms to others. We cannot expect them from others if we ourselves are not offering them to others. More importantly, these rights and freedoms lead us to the transcendent. These are not merely human institutions but divine, and guaranteed by our Father, Who reveals to us our divine life through them. We are to ensure them by respecting each person as created in His image.

Donations When I started at Immaculate Conception Church a little over a year ago, we were lucky if we received $200.00 a week in credit cards offerings. Since then, we have switched over to

ConnectNOW giving through Parish Soft. We now have 87 total donors; 21 of which have a scheduled weekly or monthly contribution. Our average donation is $84.33. On this calendar year so far, we have received $48,153.00 total dollars from credit cards. The pattern lately has been:

we receive $1,115.00 the first week; $4,080.00 – 4,990.00 the second week; $535.00 the third week; and $395.00 the last week of the month.

6 Ways to Live Out Mercy

1 – GO TO CONFESSION – We cannot give what we do not have. Experience God’s mercy firsthand. 2 – FORGIVE SOMEONE – Do you have a difficult relationship with someone in your life? Share God’s mercy with that person. 3 – PICK ONE SPRIRTUAL AND COPORAL WORK OF MERCY – Take one of each and focus on sharing mercy simply. 4 – PRAY THE DIVINE MERCY NOVENA – This is a typical novena to invoke Jesus’ mercy. 5 – TAKE A PILGRIMAGE – It doesn’t have to be far. Find a shrine or other spiritual site near you and spend extra time in prayer. 6 – SAY THE ACT OF CONTRITION – This is an easy but great way to ask God for His mercy.

School and religious education classes have begun. Registration is ongoing; please stop and sign up for classes. Safe Sunday will be October 28. Please ask you student for the permission slip.

Have you checked out FORMED lately?

ICC Parish “FORMED”: Please register at FORMED.org, the Parish code is: J8WDM7

Lord, Father of Divine Mercy, You kept your promise and made a New Covenant with us and sealed it in the Blood of Your Son. Forgive the folly of our disloyalty and MAKE us keep all your commandments, so that in your New Covenant, the Holy Eucharist, we may be witnesses of your loyalty and fidelity to us in this time of cleansing. Help us to trust you as did Esther as she prayed: "We who cry to God, were saved. The Lord saved his people and delivered us from all these evils." (Es 10:6)

Commandments: Law and Order? Authority today is challenged. We aggressively attack authority and easily reject legitimate authority. Our modernist and relativistic culture teaches us to disobey and disregard any law that may infringe upon our rights, freedom, or feelings. This is a dangerous attitude, for the law is there to protect us and protect others from abuse, coercion and false accusation. Without laws and just enforcement of those laws, society becomes chaotic. People become confused and live in turmoil. Law and order are lost and we become our own interpreters of the law, including Divine Law. Divine Law is much different than civil law. The authors of civil law are the state and government who create laws that are suppose to help the common good. Divine Law is not of human origin. God Himself is the author Who empowers us to live in harmony, not just with others in society, but with Him eternally. Divine Law is summed up in the 10 Commandments: the Decalogue, and only God interprets and explains this law. The first three laws pertain directly to God and teach us how to relate to God. He is not an authoritarian figure who merely enforces the law; nor can we portray Him as a despot, or a tyrannical vengeful god who demands sacrificial offerings to appease his wrath. This is paganism! God, as revealed Biblically, is relational. Yes, He is Lord, Authority; but He is the Lord of Love. Read Psalm 136 where the author claims his mercy (love) endures forever. Isaiah tells us “The loving deeds of the LORD I recall, the glorious acts of the LORD, Because of all the LORD has done for us, the immense goodness to the house of Israel, Which he has granted according to his mercy and his many loving deeds.” (Is 63:7) God is love and reveals His love when He sends His only Son into the world to free us from the fear we have of authority. These first three commandments teach us right worship. Our life is to be centered on God. That is why we are taught to remove the false gods in our lives and to keep our covenantal promises we made at our baptism and to worship Him keeping holy His Sabbath. These are the commandments of the first tablet. The commandments of the second tablet are social and familial. They teach us and train us to respect one another as brothers and sisters, for we all have the same Father God.

Stewardship: The Eye of the Needle This is the side gate in which

camels would never enter, as they feared the narrowness of this gate. Jesus uses this example to teach us about our fear of money. Money is a tool — not a possession. We use money to protect and improve our lives. We use it for food, clothing, shelter and other material necessities. We also use money for our education and advancement. We learn how to develop our time and talent so we can learn to earn. But many fail to see money as a tool. They see it as a possession. They hoard money, and instead of using it to protect themselves, they protect their money. Instead of investing their money creating jobs and opportunities not only for themselves but for others, they protect their investments, trying to increase their own wealth — not share it. Jesus teaches a radical new lesson when he asks the rich man to invest in the Kingdom of Heaven by giving away his wealth. This request, to give away our money, is scary for him and us. We might ask, why do I have to go through that gate? The answer is, to detach yourself! This is radical. He asks the young man to give up everything for the sake of His kingdom. He turned away saddened — he had too much money. He asks us too:

Will you give up the one thing that holds you back from

entering into the kingdom? Whatever it is that holds you back from completely following Jesus, He asks us to give it away. It does not matter what it is, but it does matter what our response is. Reflect and ask yourself: what is it that holds you back from following Christ: Money? Possessions? Pleasures?

Honors? Attitude? Opinions? Politics? Relationships?

Resentment? Pride? It does not matter what it is. What matters is your willingness to give it up!

Right Worship sums up the first three commandments. Right relationships sum up

the other 7 commandments. God instills in us how to have healthy and happy relationships that make us holy. If we are to love God, as commanded, we must learn to love our brother and sister whom we can see. The love of family and friends is rooted in our faith of God. We do not merely love our parents or our spouses, and we do not merely avoid murder, adultery, stealing, gossiping, criticizing, coveting, and envying because they are right, but that they create right relationships. If we are honest with our conscience, we long for right worship and right relationships. But unless we put Jesus and His authority over us first, which is revealed through those in the position of authority, we will never have harmony in any relationship. Jesus asks the rich man to follow, but demands of him to give up the one thing that is his stumbling block, so he can be free to worship rightly his heavenly Father and enjoy true friendship with his followers. But he loved his money more than God. The Law of God merely exposes our attachments, teaching us to detach from those things that hold us back from right worship and right relationships.

Stop doing what you know is wrong!

“At the heart of liberty is the right to define ones own concept of existence of meaning of the universe, of

ones own definition of human life” (Casey vs Planned Parenthood, 1992).

Reread this key by which Justice Kennedy formulated his argument in favor of a person’s right to abort a child. Not only is liberty a personal right by which one defines and determines for him or herself the meaning of life and the meaning of the universe; but more importantly, this right of personal freedom demands complete isolation from the needs and concerns of others. This is individualism perfected. Strikingly, this decision eliminates God and any notion of the physical and scientific laws that govern creation. I, as a person, have the freedom to define my own conceptual reality — whether or not it conforms to any scientific or moral truth, the common good, justice, and divine or civil law. This statement is the clearest and most concise definition of Original Sin. Man, Adam and Eve, exercised this liberty when they ate of the tree of knowledge. They determined for themselves their own identity, disregarding completely that they were made in the image and likeness of God. They determined for themselves what the meaning of life was, its existence, the universe, and most importantly who was in charge. They were. They became their own god. Because of this categorical removal of God, sin entered into the world. With Justice Kennedy’s key interpretative statement of liberty, he too removed God absolutely from the equation of life. Judeo-Christianity exposes the fallacy of this statement. It is not my right to determine my freedom apart from law, morals, ethics, the common good, religious liberty, and the natural and divine law. It is God’s right — not ours! We are not gods unto ourselves. We are creations of a Creator, Who defines for us what the meaning of life is. He, Who made the universe, also specifies the laws of nature and physics. He, Who is Existence Himself, reveals to us that we partake of His existence. We do not define His existence, nor our own. Today we have so many who live and believe Justice Kennedy’s interpretative key to liberty and personal rights. We completely comprehend their demands for absolute freedom to do whatever they please. This is relativism, the modern mentality to live as I please and define who I am. Yet, we must cringe at this philosophy, for it degrades human dignity while creating a society based on subjective, individual, and personal interpretations. It does not identify divine truth, goodness, justice, or beauty. Jesus gives us His law and His understanding of authority when He tells the rich man that not only does he have to obey the Law of God, but he also has to free himself from his own interpretative and subjective understanding of free will and give his freedom to God in order to have eternal life.

What must I do to be Saved? This is the critical question of Christianity. What exactly must I do to be saved? For many the simple answer is:

Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and you will be saved.

Is this statement complete? I say No! It is not complete. It is merely the first step, the first move towards salvation. Salvation begins with repentance, as Jesus tells us in his first preaching.

“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and

believe in the gospel” (Mk 1:15). He does not stop there. But as we know, Jesus desires much more than repent and you are saved. The Rich Man reveals this. We must know and obey the commandments: the Moral Law — the Decalogue. But as Jesus tells the Rich Man, he must remove and detach himself from anything that is sinful. Jesus requires complete commitment . That is, he must love Jesus with all his heart, all his mind, all his strength, and all his being (Lk 10:26). In fact, Paul clarifies for us that Faith Alone is incomplete, for it will pass away along with hope. Only Love remains (1 Cor 13:13). Is there more? Yes. Knowing and obeying the Commandments reveals to us our need to repent. But Love demands sacrifice. We need prayer, for prayer is an act of love. We pray with words, but also with our hearts. Our hearts must be free from all attachments, especially attachments to our own interpretative opinions. We seek the truth, for the truth sets us free. Love also demands the Eucharistic Sacrifice. That sacrifice partakes in His Sacrifice on the Cross, the completion of the Passover Meal, when He tells us we must eat His body and drink His blood in memory of Him! This is the New Covenant in His blood, and to partake in this we see that we need not just the Covenant of the Eucharist but every Covenant. That is, the 7 Sacraments or 7 Covenants by which we enter and live in the Church — the Body of Christ. Finally, we live our vocation daily. We do what is expected of us in our vocation, either to the priesthood, marriage, religious life, or single.

My name is Piotr Oprych, and I am 27 years old. I am from Krakow, the largest city in the southern part of Poland. This city is the cradle of the history of Poland, for it was the original capital of kings for over a thousand years. In the Krakow Seminary, I spent two years studying philosophy and two years studying theology. Thanks to the help of mentors and my spiritual director, God revealed that I would not be working in my homeland and that I had a missionary vocation. God's voice spread like an echo in my heart. This voice led me to a seminary in Orchard Lake, which then pointed me to Alaska. The history of my vocation begins in 1980 (eleven years before my birth). During this time, Poland was under the rule of the communists. Bishop Stanley Bayer was the uncle of a priest in our parish and he collected money in the dioceses of Florida which later was used to build a church in my town. We were blessed to have the priest who supervised the construction of this temple to serve in it for the next thirty-three years. It was this priest who gave the sacrament of marriage to my parents, and baptism to my sister and me. Soon, this priest became the first role model for me. When I was too small to understand the Gospel and church dogmas, I was inspired by the pattern of his life. His actions became for me a Gospel which I understood. He followed the words of John Paul II and became a "servant for others." I wanted to be the same. Later, during high school, my enthusiasm dimmed slightly. I was studying for the baccalaureate while preparing to finish my education in music school. I had too little time for meditation, prayer and listening to advice. It was a very difficult time for a young man, but the hard work at the end brought excellent results. After graduation, I started working in a bank. I chose economics and I tried to live exemplary. However, something was always missing. The moment of breakthrough came unexpectedly when in a leaflet I read: "Christ came to save people through love, will you help him to love people?"

The Way of Nothing: By St. John of the Cross

To reach satisfaction in all Desire its possession in nothing

To come to possession of all Desire the possession of nothing

To arrive at being all Desire to be nothing

To come to the knowledge of all Desire the knowledge of nothing

To come to the pleasure you have not You must go by the way in which you enjoy not.

To come to the knowledge you have not You must go by the way in which you know not

To come to the possession you have not You must go by the way

in which you possess not. To become what you are not

You must go by the way in which you are not

When you turn toward something You cease to cast yourself upon the All

To go from the all to The All You must deny yourself of all

And when you come to the possession of the All

You must possess it without wanting anything at all.

Because if you desire to have something at all

Your treasure in God is purely your All!

Give up everything even your life if it

is in the way of doing Gods will.

Later, I began to ponder other questions: Do you want to help people understand what love is? Would you, who worked so hard on education and tried to reach the tree of wisdom, be able to renounce it for God? Could you become a donkey on whose back Christ entered Jerusalem? Will you help bring Christ to people or are your ambitions more important? That was when I understood it was God who called me. I was afraid, but I went to talk to the parish priest. I became the first seminarian in my parish. During the four years in the Polish seminary, I had time to prepare for the path that I am following today. When I turn around and see all the events in my life, I begin to see the meaning contained in the wonderful plan of God. My life is like a mountain. John Paul II said to us: "If you want to find a spring of a river, you should search for it near a peak." Look up! When I am afraid of following this path, I remember the words of Christ, who says, "Do not be afraid, I am." That is why I was not afraid to come to the USA, although I did not know this country, the language, or its customs. That is why I was not afraid to choose a diocese which needs young seminarians in a special way to grow. I came here to bring Christ. Despite the cold and the distances, I am not afraid of this mission, because I believe that God is with me. Look. My journey is like a tree. It takes its roots in the south, in Florida. It grows for years, until it finally reaches out its branches to Alaska and gives its fruit to the north. This is amazing! Therefore, I apologize to everyone for the fact that I often mistake in English. Correct me. I need more time to master it satisfactorily. This will be my fourth language and I think I'm making fast progress. Often people do not realize how much humility one needs to have to endure the lack of this skill, especially if one is ambitious. Great is the effort. When we, the people, want to go to the world with the Holy Gospel, we must first understand how God loves the world. Therefore, I am asking everyone who can pray for me. Pray for me and for my brothers who are also preparing for priestly ministry in your... in our diocese. I'm sure there will be more of us. Each of our prayers is a drop that drills the rock. Let's pray for each other and have patience with ourselves.
