17th Sunday in Ordinary Time A-2017 My brothers and sisters in the Lord! Today’s first readings are about God-given wisdom and the discernment of Solomon, who asked for this gift ahead of material wealth or power. Through parables, the Gospel suggests that to know God and to live according to the Gospel, are the most precious things in life. Through Jesus and the Gospel we come to know and understand the real meaning of life and what are the most important things. In one parable, a man comes across treasure hidden in a field which does not belong to him. He sells everything he has in order to get ownership of the field and of its buried treasure. When one discovers Jesus and a vision of life governed by kingdom values, everything else becomes secondary. The second parable is similar. A businessman is looking for fine pearls. When he finds one he wants, he sells everything he has in order to acquire it. In the first parable, the man was not actually looking for the treasure. Perhaps he found it while digging the ground or ploughing the field in the course of his ordinary working day. The experience of God’s kingdom may come through some everyday experience. Many people have described their conversion to Christ as happening in such an unexpected way. In the second parable, however, the man is on the lookout for the “pearl of great price.” He knows it must exist and he uses all of his energy to find it. Although we are baptized Christians, we are still called to constantly pursue the full meaning of the Gospel which can escape us for many years. We can always understand more, love more, and serve more. Though stories of treasures found aren’t that uncommon, most of us experience moments of grace when something simple gives unexpected pleasure or we suddenly realize how blessed we are with family, friends and an awesome natural environment. We all face decisions about what we value in life. Perhaps we are also sitting on a hidden treasure or in danger of losing one. How often do we reflect upon what family and friends mean to us, especially those who are elderly or those who are going through difficult periods in their lives? How often do we reflect on the origin of our food and whether it was produced sustainably? Do we have the wisdom to appreciate and treasure that fresh air or the treasure that is fresh water? For much of the time we are chasing false treasures. What might these be? We can be locked in the past, full of nostalgia or regrets; or maybe focused on the future or the longings and desires that we have not yet achieved or, perhaps, depressing fears and anxieties. Meanwhile, the enriching present passes us by; the treasure is never discovered and the really valuable pearl is never found. Jesus teaches us to learn to appreciate what is good and truly valuable and, in addition, to seek out new ways to respond to the signs of our times and to live in God’s love. Peace, Fr. Joe

On behalf of the Knights of Columbus Holy Family Council 14712 and the Social Concerns Committee, we thank you for your generous donations in supporting our 2017 Baby Bottle Boomerang to help make a Change for Life. With your generous support, we were able to help the following Pro-Life organizations: Several Sources Shelters, Good Council Homes, and the Sisters of Life. Each of these organizations will receive a check for $2,350.00. Many young women who choose life over abortion for their babies will receive assistance to meet essential daily needs, and work toward a brighter future for themselves and their babies with programs in job training, education, counseling, and temporary housing. For more information about the Knights of Columbus here at Holy Family we invite you to visit our website at http://www.hfkofc.org/. You can also find information there on our upcoming events for this year and volunteer opportunities. Thank you again, and we look forward to your continued support.

STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE

“We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:28

Do you really trust God? Do you believe that all things work for good? Faith is a challenge for everyone at times. Putting our trust in God, in everything we do, means that God’s plan for our lives may be different than our plan. When one door closes, another one opens. Trust in God, His plan is always better.

Take courage, He is calling you! Healing the Wounds of Abortion The psychological and spiritual wounds from abortion can be vast and crippling. You may feel stuck in life and not know why, or even numb, not able to name the buried pain or recognize the symptoms of post abortion syndrome. An abortion can often have a devastating impact on the father and grandparents of the aborted child and the friend/s of their parents, as well. Do not continue to hide in shame, fear or confusion. The Rachel’s

Vineyard retreat is a chance to focus on this difficult time in your life while moving you through a non-judgmental group process. This is done in a supportive atmosphere with confidentiality, understanding, and compassion. The program is designed to help both women and men to revive their hope by experiencing the tender mercy of God in Christ Jesus. If you are suffering from a past abortion experience and have isolated yourself from help and forgiveness, we’ve been there! Consider attending one of the upcoming retreat weekends here in the archdiocese:

September 8th, 9th, 10th 2017 or for Spanish speaking people: September 15th, 16th, 17th 2017 For confidential help and information, please call us:

MARIA SS. ADDOLORATA OFFERING BLANKET Several years ago, we introduced the “Maria SS. Addolorata Offering Blanket” to the Italian Festival. It has proven to be a beautiful acknowledgment of our Sorrowful Mother. A donation on the Offering Blanket brings hope to the ill, is in memory of the deceased, or is offered for a very special intention. On the

3rd Friday of each month, a special Italian Mass in honor of The Devotees of Maria Santissima Addolorata is offered for their intentions at 7:00 P.M.

During the festival, the blanket will be on display in our Italian Café for the entire 4 days. The presentation of the blanket will follow the 7:00 Saturday evening Italian Mass.

If you wish to take part in the Offering Blanket, you may submit your donation to Holy Family Church along with the intention you wish for the blanket (see form). Kindly make your check payable to Holy Family Church, but mark the envelope MEMORIAL BLANKET. As always, the blanket will be a magnificent tribute to Our Lady of Sorrows.
