SAINT OF THE WEEK:

St Ignatius of Loyola July 31

In 16th century Europe, the founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame when a cannon ball shattered his leg. While convalescing, he read about the life of Christ and the saints. He was deeply moved and having seen Mary in a vision, he made a pilgrimage to Montserrat in Spain. He remained there praying and fasting for over a year. He wrote his greatest work en-titled "Spiritual Exercises". At age 43, he and others including St Francis Xavier, vowed to live in poverty and chastity and offer themselves to the apostolic services of the pope. The new Society of Jesus was approved and Ignatius was selected as their leader. He also founded homes for orphans and the Roman College. He was a true mystic centering on the Trinity, Christ and the Eucharist. He stated obedience is the prominent virtue guided by true love for the Church.

“Find God in all things.”

Weekly Message from Deacon Rob on the Sunday Readings

From

PARISH CODE: QXY4QN

Today’s readings center around the concept of nourishment. The liturgy of the Word emphasizes the willingness of the Divine to nourish and care for His “Chosen Ones”. Our readings proclaim that God loves His creatures and will give them what- ever they need to remain living in His Graces. In both the Old and the New Testaments, the Father cares for the creatures He created even when all seems to be lost. His unending love for His “Chosen Ones” moves Him to intervene within the human scene in order to care and to protect His own.

In the first reading from the second Book of Kings, God works a miracle through the Prophet Elisha. In this account, a meager amount of barley loaves and fresh grain is given to a hundred people who, when filled, are miraculously left with more. Not only does this instill faith within the people, it demonstrates the extent that God will go for His people. Likewise, this feeding foreshadows the feeding done by Jesus in the New Testament for those who follow him. More importantly, this feeding and others prefigure the formation of the New Covenant and the revelation of the Eucharist which continues God’s presence among His people.

This same care by God for His people is found in the reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians. In today’s selection, Paul encourages the Ephesians to set aside their petty differences and to rediscover their calling by Christ to live in one body and one Spirit. Paul emphasizes that the Triune God summons them to a new life – one in the Lord. The hope brought by Jesus and bought with His Blood is available to all who live a life faithful to the Good News. Despite one’s sufferings, the Christian family finds strength and love if they assume their role as

children of God and place their trust in Him.

In Gospel by John, Jesus performs one of his “Feeding Miracles”. Christ has performed many healing miracles for the crowd who has followed him. This miraculous feed-ing is near Pass- over. The disci-ples approached Jesus and inquire how they would feed all. Christ had them bring the five barley loaves and two fish that they had

available to him and he blessed them. Then, having ordered the crowd to recline, the apostles proceed-ed to distribute this meager amount. When it was over, the disciples collected the leftovers causing the multitude to believe Jesus was the Messiah. With this revelation, coupled with the crowd’s desire to proclaim him king, Jesus left. This account demon-strated God’s willingness to care for His people through Jesus. It also foreshadowed the greatest miracle – the Last Supper.

As is evident by these readings, God will supply His chosen ones whatever they really need. However, His answer to our needs may not be what we want. Today’s readings give us reason to discern the spiritual benefits the Lord grants us. It is through the sacraments that our real needs are met. Only by utilizing these gifts will our lives experience the plan that the Divine has in store. It is through their graces that the Divine summons us to the family of God. In addition, it is through their graces that we can fulfill the mandate left by Christ, Himself. Without their “nourishment”, we will fail in our duties as brothers and sisters to the Lord. The Church calls us to account today in order that we re-focus our attention on the mandate left for us. Without this Divine grace, we cannot remain part of the Divine

Family; nor, can we fulfill the life God has given us.

• Is going to Mass every Sunday a priority for you?

• If it is not, what keeps you from going?

• If it is, do you really work to enter into the prayer of the Mass and realize the miracle happening before you, or do you become distracted and let your mind wander?
