PASTOR’S CORNER
Dear Parishioners:
Today’s Gospel is from Matthew 22:34-40. The Pharisees may not have had evil intentions when asking
Christ the question as to the greatest commandment. But they have done us a good service by getting this
crystal clear answer from him. In this answer he tells us that the man who loves God and neighbor fulfills all
his obligations, and carries out all the duties that God's self-revelation in "the law and the prophets" imposes
on him. God revealed himself to us in the Old Testament as our Creator and divine benefactor. He had no
need of us, since he is infinitely perfect in himself, but out of his infinite goodness he wished to share his
eternal kingdom of happiness with mankind and so he created us. That we should love such a benefactor and
be grateful to him is not asking much of us; such love should surely be the spontaneous reaction of a rational
being, and yet there were and there are many who fail to acknowledge any such obligation.
No Christian, worthy of the name, can ever be among such thoughtless and thankless people. We have greater proofs of God's love for us than "the law and the prophets" gave to the Israelites. We have the added
proofs of God's infinite interest in us brought to us by the Incarnation. We have been raised to the sublime
status of adopted sons of God.
Where Christians can, and too often do fail, is in their true love of neighbor. Yet Christ says that this commandment is like the first. Love of neighbor is an essential part of our obligations toward God. If we fail in
this we fail in our love for God, for we refuse to carry out this sacred duty. If we do not recognize our neighbor as our brother, we do not recognize God as our Father and we do not love him. As St. John puts it:
"Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates (does not love) his neighbor is a liar" (1 Jn.3: 20).
Let each one of us ask himself today how seriously he takes this law of fraternal charity and how faithfully he
carries it out. Not all of us may be able to give material help to a neighbor in need but the poorest of us can
spare a kindly word, an encouraging word, for a neighbor weighed down with cares and troubles. All of us
can pray for a neighbor who needs spiritual and temporal help. Most of us can deny ourselves some unnecessary luxuries in order to give a needed loaf of bread to a hungry fellowman, while those who have an abundance of this world's goods need not look far afield to find cases and causes worthy of their Christian charity.
Remember that whatever spiritual or material help is given out of true charity to a neighbor in need, is given
to God, and whatever is given to God is soundly invested in heaven, and heaven pays handsome dividends.
Hope all of you have a good week.
Father Baker

St. Mary’s Grade School
135 Years of Teaching the Faith 1879 – 2014
Saint Mary of the Woods Catholic School seeks to inspire excellence in all
students through faith, academics & service by creating a learning environment & community that encourages high expectations for student growth &
success.
Friends and Faith Community
Catholic School children learn to befriend one another as
they befriend Jesus. The Bible says that a friend is a
“treasure.” We have many Saints who were close friends
(i.e. Francis & Clare). Would your friends say that you
(I) bring them closer to God? This is an essential question as it relates to marriage.
“Have a friend. Be a friend. Bring a friend to Christ.”
Rock/Jump-a-Thon & Drawing Contest Benefit
The Y-DOSA students invite everyone to join the fun.
Find sponsors to contribute so you/they can rock in a
rocking chair for 10 min. or jump rope for 5 min. under
the School overhang. Your donations will go to Blaise
Mills’ & Lydia Haycraft’s families for medical expenses.
Children of ANY age may join in the fun! Halloween,
Oct. 31, 6:30 am –4:30 pm; Canopy (overhang in front
of School); Sponsorships ONLY, please. Suggested donation: $1 per min. Bring a book & rock the day away!
Mum Sale Success
Our thanks go to Marlene’s Garden Center (Marlene,
Mike, Amy and Justin Jenkins, and Will) for hosting the
mum sale again. Thanks, too, to all those who purchased
the beautiful autumn flowers. The $480 profit is a great
support to our School.
Annual Lucky Angels Raffle
Karen Aud is the “Lucky Angel” ($100) for 10-17-14.
We still have tickets to sell. Each ticket (only 300 will be
sold) is $30. The raffle this year helps us to pay for some
budgeted items. We do need your help, please? Please
buy a ticket and wait for that Friday afternoon/
evening call. License 0142.

Rhodes. He has three children – Kayla (19),

first year teaching PREP. He decided to get

own faith, he felt God calling him to teach
children and help them see Jesus in their own
lives.

Bulletin Bites
“The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
Pope Benedict XVI tells the great story of the man who
went to Rabbi Shamai and asked if he could recite all of the
law and the prophets of Israel while standing on one foot.
Rabbi Shamai said it was impossible. So the man went to
Rabbi Hillel and asked him the same question. Rabbi Hillel
lifted one foot and said, “What you do not want others to do
to you, do not do to them.” Then he put his foot down. Jesus
reflects Hillel in the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) and reminds his questioners and us of Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18.Both Hillel and Jesus knew that their questioners
were looking for a way out, a way around the law, a loophole. But there is none. In fact, Jesus ups the ante. He commands us to love our enemies. And just before he goes out
to be brutally tortured and crucified, he says, “Love one
another as I have loved you.” When we see Jesus face to
face, what will we have to say to Him about how well we
have done?
