STEWARDSHIP
“For God did not give us a spirit of
cowardice but rather of power and love and
self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7
Many of us compartmentalize our Faith, we bring it
out only when we attend Mass or when we attend a
parish event. Being a good steward requires
discipline and striving to put God first in everything,
all the time. The next time you are at a
neighborhood party, at work or out shopping, would
your actions signal to others that you are a good and
faithful servant of our Lord?

MUSICIAN’S NOTES BY DOUG SCHMUTTE
I ncrease our faith,” the apostles say in our
Gospel passage this weekend. How often have
we spoken these words ourselves? Just three
weeks ago we commemorated the 15th
Anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S soil
since the mid-20th century. Add to that the countless
acts of violence both here and abroad over the last
several years, and it’s very easy for all of us to say
to the Lord “increase our faith.”
Faith does mean many things. Merriam-Webster
gives three possible meanings: 1) belief and trust in
and loyalty to God; 2) firm belief in something for
which there is no proof; and 3) something that is
believed with especially strong conviction.
I would surmise that the apostles were referring
to their belief in the teachings of Christ and their
belief in God. Perhaps that same lack or weakening
of faith has happened to us over the course of our
lives, especially over things we don’t understand
like incurable illnesses and death when they impose
themselves into our lives. Do we not ask the Lord
both “how could this happen?” and “increase our
faith.”
But, I would also suggest that, given the
experiences of the world in which we live, we have
also had our “faith” in the goodness of others
questioned as well. It’s hard to watch the news these
days and, from Paris to Miami, again not question
how these things can happen, or how our God could
allow such events to take place. And…once again
ask the Lord to “increase our faith.”
I often quote one of my liturgist friends Jerry
Galipeau. Referring to this week’s scriptures he
writes: Do you ever feel your faith weakening? In
the first reading the prophet gives us a checklist
naming some possible causes; violence, ruin,
misery, strife, and destruction. We can add to this
listing: broken relationships, sickness, cruelty,
indifference, pain, suffering, and
of course, death. But God
encourages us through the
prophet: Wait! The vision will
not disappoint. If it delays, wait
for it. The just one because of
their faith shall live.
In our Gospel passage, after
the apostles (and we) have asked
for an “increase in faith,” Christ
tells us we only need to have
faith the size of a mustard seed.
During Mass today we sang
the hymn “We Walk By Faith”
We sang the words: We walk by faith, and not by
sight; No gracious words we hear from Him who
spoke as none ere spoke; but we believe him near.
Help then O Lord, our unbelief; and may our faith
abound to call on you when you are near, and seek
where you are found.
Possibly even more importantly we sang these
words at Mass today: If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
Sometimes I’m afraid we let the words of the
psalm sort of wash right over us and think of the
psalm as just filler space between the readings – like
a small break in the action, if you will. But given our
readings today, the words of the psalm could not be
more beneficial to us for I believe that only when we
allow ourselves to hear his voice that we can truly
be open to hear what God is speaking to us.
So, when things happen in our lives, and we feel
our faith weakening and do ask the Lord to increase
our faith, may be always have open hearts ready to
hear the voice of God. Then, if we have “faith the
size of a mustard seed,” our faith will “abound” and
that faith will grow in limits heretofore unknown.
Have a great week.
If we had faith the size
of a mustard seed...
Week by Week Through the Year of Mercy
H ow long, O LORD?” With Habakkuk’s question
echoing across twenty-six hundred years, Re-
spect Life Sunday finds all life claiming sanctuary in
our hearts: unborn infant, senior citizen, immigrant
and refugee, imprisoned and addicted, people bur-
dened with illness and disabilities of body, mind, or
spirit. Even Mother Earth, Pope Francis notes in Lau-
dato Si’, bears scars of disrespect for the life she nur-
tures and sustains. Life is still threatened, as in Ha-
bakkuk’s day, with ruin and misery, “destruction and
violence, . . . strife and clamorous discord” (see 1:3).
Since our efforts so often seem ineffective, we
“unprofitable servants” cry with the apostles,
“Increase our faith.” But Jesus’ reply might be para-
phrased, “Not quantity—quality.”

It would be my joy to meet with you and discuss our
beautiful faith! Please feel free to call or schedule an
appointment any time! __________________________________________
Formed in Faith Program Formed in Faith: Growing as God’s Children
is our new program for children in kindergarten
through 8th grade. One aspect of this program is a
group of three cards the kids take home and complete
every day. They can then bring them back to our
meetings for prizes! I hope that these tiny activities
help them to recognize God’s presence in their life,
and how good and beloved they are. Over the next
three weeks I will highlight the different cards. If
you would like some for your own children or
grandchildren they are available on the bulletin board
in the gathering space, or you can contact me for
more. Thanks! Amanda
This “The Saint in Me!” card encourages kids to
see how good they are and how much God loves
them. We are all called to be saints, and God wants
to help us out!
On the back of the card are the 14 virtues we will
focus on this year in class. This past week we
learned about justice and St. Katherine Drexel, the
first American-born US citizen to become a saint!
The kids circle or color the virtues they were that
day, and can write down something else good about
themselves on the line at the bottom. Everyone is
good inside, and this helps kids recognize that!
Office of Christian Formation to LOVE as
GOD LOVES
By Amanda Weickert
While I was discerning the religious life I spent
several weeks with a cloistered Carmelite community
of nuns where I became fascinated with their way of
life. They are unabashedly and unequivocally focused
on God and eternal life, even as they live their days
within the cloister. By not having an outside work or
apostolate, such as nursing, teaching, or any other
ministry we typically associate with religious life,
these sisters reveal how everything we do is, at its
deepest core, truly a ministry. From the outside, it
looks like the cloistered nun doesn’t do anything for
anyone outside her cloister. How could she, if she
never leaves and they cannot enter?
Through the weeks I spent living with them I came
to recognize that this superficial isolation reveals the
true depth of our inter-relationality. What the sisters
are physically doing is of secondary importance,
whether canning tomatoes or scrubbing floors. The
primary value of everything they do is in their loving
relationship with God and the salvation of the world.
They weren’t really canning tomatoes, they were
loving God and their sisters, giving generously of
themselves to strengthen these loving relationships.
They knew it too; as they scrubbed the floor they
loved everyone who walks on them, and as they
tended the garden they reveled in God’s abundant
creation and the life it would bring to those who
would later eat the vegetables they grew. Their
housework and chores were important themselves, as
it isn’t good to starve in a filthy hovel. But they were
clearly able to show me that everything truly does boil
down to love. For them, a filthy floor would be better
than one scrubbed with resentment. Love is the
essential ingredient to make anything worth doing,
and how to do it well.
Our actions, like those of the cloistered nuns I
came to know, have this same primary importance.
Even beyond what we appear to be doing – driving a
carpool, working in an office, meeting with a friend –
the importance of what we are doing is primarily
linked with how it strengthens loving relationships
with God and those around us. As I strive to make
good choices and grow into the woman I know God is
calling me to be I ask: “Am I choosing this out of
love? Am I doing this with love?” Let us pray each
day that we can more frequently answer “Yes!” with a
joyful heart.

prepares for, and prophesies the coming of
the Messiah.

his saving mission on earth.
Witness the power of the Sacraments and the
Mass as real encounters with God
Please pray for these junior high youth as they begin
this journey and ENCOUNTER Jesus!

B ecause St. Francis of Assisi loved
animals, on his feast day it is
customary to bless animals. Because
of its Franciscan heritage, Corpus Christi will
celebrate the gift of animals by blessing animals
at 6:30 p.m. in front of the church on Springdale
Road. In this blessing we thank God for the gifts
that pets are and ask God to bless them through
the intercession of St. Francis.
PASTORAL AREA THANKSGIVING DINNER GIVE AWAY
With summer wrapping up and children back
at school, we at the Food Pantry are getting
ready for Thanksgiving! Hard to believe but it
will be here sooner than we think.
We would like to ask the parishioners at St.
John the Baptist, St. John Neumann and Corpus
Christi to once again support our Thanksgiving
dinner give away. Following are the food items
that are needed for the Thanksgiving dinners:
Canned vegetables, yams, fruit, gravy, Jell-O,
cake or brownie mix, icing, boxed potatoes,
and stuffing. We do not have the storage
space to handle frozen turkeys this year but
would gladly accept gift cards or cash to help
us purchase the turkeys. If you are able to donate some of the items
above, you can put the items in the normal drop
locations at your parish by Sunday, November 6.
Cash or gift cards can be dropped in the collec-
tion basket and clearly marked for the food pan-
try or dropped in the parish office.
Families will be signing up for Thanksgiving
Dinners from September 19 thru October 27
during normal pantry hours of operation. Thank
you for your generosity.
