Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life.
— John 6:27a
THE BREAD OF LIFE
Today’s Gospel has the crowd asking Jesus three questions.
First, “When did you get here,” to which Jesus responds by rebuking them for their failure to grasp his miracle as a “sign,” an occasion
to put faith in him. Their second question about accomplishing the
“works of God” has Jesus respond that faith is the “work” that God
wishes. Many scholars believe this is John’s answer to the faith-works
dichotomy emerging in the early Christian community. Faith is the
work of God in the believer, John would have us understand. The third
question asked by the crowd is a request for a “sign” that would allow
them to put faith in Jesus, as the manna in the desert allowed the Israelites to put faith in the Lord God. Jesus answers by revealing himself
as the “bread of life” that “comes down from heaven and gives life to
the world.”

Shepherd’s
Notes
Latest update on building our
new parish center
On Thursday, July 26 representatives from Loudoun
County examined our septic drain field area and declared that
a certain section was unusable. I was present when a backhoe
was brought in to sample the soil areas that were deemed unfit
and concur that the section had a high content of “chippy”
layers of rock only 18 inches deep (they needed to be at 4 feet).
The good news is that they found ample area where the drain
field section could be relocated. The only negative side was that
section was our projected “overflow parking” that we unfortunately now have to sacrifice. The other good news is that
since the drain fields are separately approved from the building
facility, so far we have met all the requirements for the 30,000
sq. ft. building and remain on course to get that approved very
soon. When that happens we can finally put the building up for
bid to the contractors. We are still hoping that this can be done
within the next month and a half. Please continue to pray for
the success of building our badly needed new parish center.
Your shepherd in Christ,
Father Escalante
Are You Interested in the Catholic Faith?
We will soon begin a new journey in faith to share the richness
of the Catholic Church and our parish family. We invite you to
learn what the Church teaches, and be introduced to some of our
parish members. These sessions also are opportunities for you,
and others that you may wish to invite, to ask those perplexing
and difficult questions you may have about the Church. These
gatherings are for inquirers and are open to people who are
unbaptized, as well as those who are baptized Christians from
Protestant or Evangelical backgrounds.
Mark your calendar: the first session is Tuesday, September 25
at 7:30pm in the Oratory Room.
Please give us a call if you have questions, would like further
information at 540-338-4497 or email at [email protected].
Ask the Priest
Q. How can God be everywhere when there is only one God?
–Angelo Lange
A. It is because the whole creation exists around the one God that
created it.
Q. Who is Mary’s father? – Anonymous
A. His name is St. Joachim. Mary’s mother is St. Ann.
Q. When priests retire, does the Catholic Church provide them
with a home? –Anonymous
A. Most of the time, yes. In many parts of the world the home of
elderly priests is in the rectory of parishes where pastors offer them
a home. Our diocese recently built a retirement home for priests
in Annandale. Prior to that priests either lived in rectories, homes
of relatives, religious order homes or nursing homes. Some priests
who were fortunate to have received an inheritance [I’m not one
of those lucky ones!] or saved a good deal of money were able to
purchase a home of their choice to retire.
Q. The Bible sometimes to refer to Jesus’ “brothers.” Did he
have brothers? How could this be if Mary was always a virgin?
–John M.
A. It is true that Mary was always a virgin and therefore Jesus
could not have had siblings. In the language Jesus spoke, Hebrew
Aramaic, the word for siblings and close relatives (kin or cousins)
is interchangeable. Other theologians have an interesting theory
that St. Joseph may have been a widower and had children from a
previous marriage who would then be stepbrothers and stepsisters
of Jesus. There is no Biblical evidence for this, just a plausible
theory.
Q. If Jesus spoke Arabic, why is the original language of the
church in Latin? –Anonymous
A. As mentioned above, Jesus spoke Hebrew Aramaic and not
Arabic. The Catholic Church still uses the language Jesus spoke
in the liturgy used today by the Maronite Rite Catholics based in
Lebanon. There are 7 major rites in the Catholic Church under the
pope: Latin, Byzantine, Alexandrian, Syriac, Armenian, Maronite
and Chaldean . Most of us Catholics belong to the Latin Rite but
every rite is equal in dignity and validity. A Catholic may go to
Sunday Mass and any of the rites and fulfill the Sunday obligation.
The reason Latin became the mother tongue or sacred language
was because this was the common language used during the time
of the ministry of St. Peter and St. Paul under the Roman Empire.
It was the best way to transmit the Gospel teachings of Jesus using
the universal language of the time. It wouldn’t have made sense
to use Hebrew Aramaic when preaching in Europe where only a
small number of Jews could understand the language. The church
grew rapidly over the centuries when the liturgy was in Latin even
long after it was no longer the spoken language. Keeping the
official teachings of the church written in Latin helped preserve
the accuracy of Catholic doctrine. The meaning of Latin does not
change. This system should not sound strange to us because even
scientists today still use Latin when they discover and name new
living species. If you want to learn more about the different Catholic Rites visit this website: http://www.mncuf.org/rites.htm

All things for good
Sometimes things just don’t go as we planned.
Maddy and I had flown to San Diego June 27 to begin a pilgrimage of the Mission Trail – the string of 21 missions begun in 1769 by
Father Junipero Serra and stretching north 500 miles to Sonoma and
the reason for cities named Santa Barbara, San Miguel, San Gabriel,
and so on.
During 30 years in California, I visited a few of the missions and
found them fascinating. And ever since embracing Catholicism I’ve
yearned to see them again through Catholic eyes. With a window of
opportunity while our special needs kids went to Easter Seals Camp,
but Tripp unable to take off work, I felt inspired to take a mother/
daughter trip with Maddy, who’d left California when she was 9
and has always wanted to return to see more. And since she also is a
Catholic convert, this promised to be a unique spiritual/bonding time
for the two of us.
I planned carefully, researching the missions and places to stay that
were cheap but clean and safe, with mapquest directions in between.
My two-inch sunshine-yellow notebook charted 14 days of adventure – including a Santa Cruz July 4 fireworks boat ride and a night at
the opera in San Francisco. Thanks to a recent book contract, I had
some money to splurge. And it would be worth every penny: having
already launched seven adult children and wondering where the time
went, I was seizing an opportunity to slow down the clock and create
a lasting memory.
But the memories turned out so differently than I had planned.
Just three days and five missions into our trip, stepping off a high
ledge onto the rocks at Ventura Beach, I lost my balance, fell and
broke my ankle. From that moment on, all control shifted from me to
an untested 19-year-old whose summer vacation would turn out to be
no vacation at all.
Strangers helped her load me into the rental car she was too young
to drive and she took me to the ER where they x-rayed, splinted and
sent us on our way. She drove us to Santa Barbara, where we stayed
five nights waiting to see a doctor, waiting for a wheelchair, waiting
for my pain to subside.
Then for three days she drove 400 unfamiliar miles, getting our
meals and shuffling me and our suitcases in and out of the car, wheelchair, hotels, relatives’ houses, and finally an early flight home.
I’ve since had complications and a hospital stay but am recovering,
trying to learn what lessons God had for me. But maybe this wasn’t
about me at all. One thing I know for sure is that in the past month,
my fun-loving and happy-go-lucky daughter had to do some quick
growing up – taking care of her broken mother 3000 miles from
home and her special needs brothers on her return. I’m proud and
grateful to say she never missed a beat.
And so despite my disappointment, despite the fact that the mother/
daughter bonding I had planned turned out very differently, I’ll thank
God for the unexpected lessons He provided – maybe not so much
about our spiritual heritage, but about our spiritual future.
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love
him, who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
JOSHUA
A Catholic Scripture Study International Course
The Book of Joshua is a historical account of how
the Israelites conquered Canaan, the land God
promised them in the covenant with Abraham.
The book details Joshua's obedience to God, the
bloody yet miraculous battles and the division of
the land among the 12 tribes.
Meets Tuesday mornings, 10am-noon in the
Parish Hall and Thursday evenings, 7-8:30pm in
the Oratory (Oratory class size limited to 24)
ACTS
by Jeff Cavins and Sarah Christmyer
Step Three in The Great Adventure Bible Study
Program, Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom, builds
on The Bible Timeline and Matthew* by showing how Christ's Kingdom on earth is empowered
to carry out his work in the world. The book of
Acts shows the Church, enlivened by the Holy
Spirit, teaching, preaching, healing, and restoring
outcasts in the same way that Jesus did on earth.
The Acts of the Apostles provides an historic
framework for understanding the rest of the New
Testament. Paul’s letters in particular come alive in
a new way when they are read within the context
of the Acts narrative.
