TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME In the gospel today, the Pharisees tried to trick Jesus into an answer about the tax. The Romans oppressed the Jews as they governed the land of Israel in the days of Jesus. The Jewish people were awaiting a ‘New Israel’ and thought the Promised Messiah would bring that about. If Jesus was the promised Messiah, then He should not be in support of paying the tax to the Roman Government or to Caesar. Yet, if Jesus would say to not pay the tax, then He would be seen as a revolutionary by the Roman government. Much is happening here. The Jewish people are not seeing the Messiah making a ‘New Israel’ as it truly was meant to be. They wanted Israel to be an Independent Nation, and the Messiah to separate them from Rome. They were looking at the ‘New Israel’ politically and not spiritually. Jesus did come to bring about a ‘New Israel’ which we see in Revelation - a New Jerusalem coming from the Heavens made up of all people of all nations who believe in and follow Jesus the Messiah. This would have been the true separation of the oppression they felt, building the Kingdom of God here and enjoying it forever in a New Jerusalem. Therefore Jesus answers neutrally. The coin has the picture of Caesar on it, so give it to him. Then He says, give to God what belongs to God. If the coin has the image of Caesar on it, for the Roman Kingdom, then what has the image of God on it for the Heavenly Kingdom or the New Jerusalem? Our Soul has the image of God imprinted on it. We are created in His image and we have been baptized. And so, just as the Jews wanted a New Kingdom, we want to live in the New Kingdom forever. We too have to give God what belongs to God to make the Kingdom work. Have you given your soul to God? Have you given your heart to God? Have you given your mind to God? Have you given your life to God? When you, when we give our self to God, then we are paying the tax, or paying to make the ‘New Jerusalem’ awesome and great! We all want a New, Eternal, Beautiful, Wonderful, Jerusalem (Heaven) forever, but God has left it up to us to build it. Give to God what belongs to God! Bible Study I am leading a Bible Study with the theme of The Sacraments in the Scriptures. The sessions continues on Monday evenings in the church at 7:30PM as follows: October 20, 27. November 10 and 17. In addition, sessions will be held on Thursdays at 11:00AM in Biedenbach Hall on these dates: October 23, November 6, 13 and 20. 250 Club There are still tickets for this year’s 250 club. This is a great opportunity to support the school, have a chance for a weekly monetary prize and enjoy a nice evening and dinner next fall with others who purchase tickets along with other prizes and the grand prize. Tickets can be purchased at the School office during the weekdays, after Sunday Masses or by calling Sr. Carol at the school. Please support this effort and help to continue to provide education here at St. Bernadette. Steel Drums at Mass– On Saturday, November 8, Leigh Pugliano’s family will be joining us at the 5pm Mass, providing us with beautiful Steel Drum music. Come experience this beautiful instrument as we praise our God. New Holy Communion Cups and New Altar Server Albs The new cups and albs have arrived, thanks to generous donations for this cause. The new cups are a bit heavier and have a satin finish (which will be easier to maintain). I am asking that all servers please take care to hang up the new albs when done serving mass. They are much easier to hang up than the present albs. (If I happen to discover which servers are putting the albs on the floor, I will ask their parents to launder and iron all the albs). Together let us all be responsible and respectful for the vessels and vestments of the Sacred Mass. Hand Sanitizer for Eucharistic Ministers Hand Sanitizers have been installed for Eucharistic Ministers, priests and deacons. There is one in the front of each of the middle pews so that as the Eucharistic Ministers approach the altar, they can easily sanitize their hands. There is also one behind the altar for the clergy. Cold and Flu season As cold and flu season approaches, I ask everyone to simply use common sense. If you are sick, STAY HOME, rest and get better. When we are sick, it is not a sin to miss Mass. Many people worry about receiving the Precious Blood during this season. I personally do not believe that germs can pass through the cup at the Eucharist, because Jesus would not allow us to get sick receiving Him. Please use common sense; if you feel uncomfortable receiving from the cup, then just receive the Body of Christ. FIRE - Faith Intercession Repentance Evangelization Our Monroeville FIRE Rally is fast approaching, what a great day to set our hearts on FIRE for the Lord. Come on November 1st and set your hearts on fire. More information is available at our Website. The registration form is included with this week’s bulletin. Please forward to the Parish Office or drop your completed form either in the box in the narthex or collection basket at next week’s Mass. Peace of Christ, Fr. Tony ST. BERNADETTE PARISH MONROEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA OCTOBER 19, 2014 NOTES FROM THE PASTOR CONTINUED: Important message from a Parishioner: Grow in the Faith with Small Faith Groups for Couples Did you ever feel like you were being led to do something by the Holy Spirit? That's how I feel about this. My husband and I have had the pleasure of being involved with several small faith groups and feel compelled to start one at St. Bernadette's. The one we'd like to start is called, The Christian Family Movement (CFM). You can read more about it at http://www.cfm.org/home.html. The way it works is that couples meet at one another's homes once a month to pray, discuss a few pages of a CFM book, and enjoy the fellowship of one another. I have found great joy in being a part of small faith groups in the past; it's a great way to grow spiritually and get to know the "Body of Christ." If this is something that interests you, contact Alison Cooley by e-mail at [email protected] or at 412.496.9904. Please call after 3:00PM M-F (for clarification, this is not a group affiliated with Teams of Our Lady).
