Dear Parishioners, Our readings this weekend focus on the depths of

God’s mercy. In the Gospel, Peter comes to Jesus with a ques-tion about forgiveness and he comes to Jesus with an answer that in his mind was very generous. In fact, to forgive someone seven times may be very difficult and so the number that Jesus gives seems almost impossible. But when you think about it, forgiving someone 7 times requires keeping a record of the wrongs a person committed. Jesus does not offer another num-ber, but rather teaches about a forgiveness that is limitless. Yet we know that forgiveness is not easy nor is it automatic. In fact, forgiveness can be one of the most difficult things about living the Christian way of life. When we or someone we love is hurt because of the actions of another, it can be difficult to let go of our disappointment or resentment. There is an old saying about resentment that it is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will be the one who gets sick. The path to forgiveness requires something of us. Each day, when we pray the “Lord’s Prayer”, we ask the Lord to “forgive our trespasses or sins as we forgive those who trespass against us.” The message for us could not be much clearer: that we who have been forgiven are to forgive others in the same way. While the teaching is clear, living it is much more difficult. Over the years I have ministered to some people who have had a difficult time believing that they are indeed forgiven by the Lord. Experiencing the Lord’s forgiveness changes everything. As we reflect on the teaching of Jesus this week, may we rec-ognize those areas of our lives that the Lord has already forgiv-en.

Jacob’s Well During these summer months a number of projects and repairs have gotten underway. Throughout the pandemic our facilities team of Bob Kilkenny and Jim Shaffer has been working hard on our grounds and on making a number of repairs to our buildings. In the next week, weather per-mitting, the long-desired and much-needed repaving of our main church parking lot and the Little Church lot begins. In addition to addressing the deteriorated condition of the as-phalt (which dates to the original construction of the new church nearly 20 years ago), we will also complete repairs to sections of the curbs and sidewalks. If the weather coop-erates, we hope to complete this project around the end of September. This repaving project was part of the vision for our To Teach Who Christ Is capital campaign, which began four years ago and still continues. Funding for the project comes from the generous pledge payments of the many parishioners who are contributing to this campaign. I am pleased to announce that we have hired Mark Meier to be our new Director of Music and Liturgy. Mark will begin his ministry at St. Mary in a few weeks. He has been the Director of Music at St. Matthias Parish in Chicago since 2014 and his service there dates back to 2007. Unfortunate-ly, St. Matthias is closing as part of the Renew My Church process. When God closes a door, he opens a window and we are fortunate that Mark will be coming to St. Mary. As we begin a new era in parish liturgical life following the many contributions of Fred Vipond over his long tenure, I know Mark will bring fresh energy, a collaborative spirit, and strong pastoral sensibilities to this important role in our parish. Mark embraces a variety of musical styles and will help us rebuild and unify our musical ministries once we get to the other side of COVID-19. Let us pray for one another, Fr. Jerry

Saint John Chrysostom (c. 344-407) September 13

"Speaking truth to power" may have become just another cliché, but doing precisely that cost John "the Golden Mouth" (Chrysostom) his diocese and, after exile and a forced march, his health and life. "Renowned for eloquence, heroic in suffering" (Sacramentary), John's scriptural in-

sights still comfort and challenge. Mystical theologian, he bids Eastern Christians, whose principal Divine Liturgy bears his name, to lift up their hearts to "God ineffable, beyond compre-hension, invisible, beyond understanding, existing forever, al-ways the same." Model pastor, he warns Roman Catholics in the Liturgy of the Hours not to neglect God-in-the-flesh: "Would you honor Christ's body? Do not scorn his nakedness, honoring him here in church with silken robes, while neglecting him cold and naked outside. What use to burden Christ's altar with gold-en chalices, while Christ himself starves to death? What use dressing the altar with gold-woven cloths, while denying the shivering Christ the clothes he needs? Do not adorn the church while ignoring your needy brother: he is the most precious tem-ple of all!" (Saturday, Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time). --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S.

Forgiveness

Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again. Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father motioned his son to him and whispered: “Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from loving you?” Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the commandments. As St. Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord. Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel reminds us of God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way. Copyright © J.

F isch–ing Lines by Deacon Howard Fischer

In today’s Gospel Simon Peter is thinking that he has figured out his Master’s thought patterns. In asking his question, Pe-

ter is expecting praise not rebuke. He is expecting Jesus to say: “Excellent, Peter! You go to the head of the class. You get A+.” According to Jewish law, Peter had reason to believe he was ahead of the curve as it was common Jewish teaching that one

should forgive a transgressor three times. On the fourth failure, howev-er, the transgressor was out of luck as they had used up their chanc-es. So when Peter took this law of limited forgiveness and multiplied it by two and added one (seven also being a symbolic number meaning “many”), he must have had a contented smile on his face. Surely Peter must have been stunned when Jesus said you must forgive seventy times seven times, or in other words, without limit. In reflecting on today’s Gospel passage and the challenge of forgiving those who injure us, author Alice Camille writes:

I wish there were a simple solution to the problem of forgiveness. But even Peter, who had Jesus in front of him in person on a daily basis, didn’t seem to know what Jesus would do the eighth time a brother might sin against him. Peter experiences the limits of human patience and forbearance in his own relationships. He wants to know how long a truly good person ought to put up with the abuse of his or her charity.

But Jesus refuses to consider forgiveness in terms of what’s reasona-ble or even humanly possible. When Jesus tells his parable about the servant forgiven a great debt, there is no discussion at all of how long to forgive someone who offends, or even how to do it, period. The emphasis in the story is not on the mechanics of forgiveness but only on the motivation. We forgive our fellow human beings, umpteen times seven times, not because they deserve it but because we ourselves have been forgiven a king’s ransom. As far as Jesus is concerned, this is the whole of forgiveness in a nut-shell: Our obligation matches the largess we have received, which is incalculable. Never mind ruminating on who did what to whom and how often. Yes, there may be pain and anger and certainly there can be just cause for grievance. Jesus doesn’t argue those points. But gnawing on those components will not free us to do the one thing we are expected to do as servants relieved of all our debts, and that’s to forgive our debtors, free and clear. We love to be on the receiving end of forgiveness but often struggle to offer it even for relatively small offenses. Larger offenses seem be-yond human endurance. In today’s social climate, many prefer to lam-baste and ostracize people for their mistakes than open a door to re-pentance and forgiveness. Yet, today’s Gospel clearly shows that as disciples of Jesus we are called to be people of forgiveness. In anoth-er article Alice Camille writes:

‘Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.’ The more we hit the ATM of forgiveness to spend on the people

around us, the more is added to our account. It’s a bewilderingly sweet deal. Given the remarkable benefits of the practice of forgiveness, you’d think Christians would be all over it like ants at a picnic. We should be bumping into each other in our haste to demonstrate com-passion for our fellow sinners, as anxious to say ‘I’m sorry’ as to de-clare ‘I forgive you’…Surprisingly, however, the thought of forgiveness often stifles our breath. We’ve developed very bad habits conforming us to the world rather than to Christ. We hug wrath and anger tight, though they’re hateful and can only make us sick, in body and soul. Each of our families has divisions caused by a lack of repentance and forgiveness. May we learn to repent from our own failings, swallow our pride and seek forgiveness. And let us forgive those who come to us seeking forgiveness out of a genuine sense of remorse. Revenge, retribution and cold shoulders on small and large scales get us no-where and only add to the strife in our world. Or as Mohandas Gandhi once famously said, “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” You and I have been forgiven by God beyond measure. Let us share the bounty we have received.

Parking Lot Repaving The project to repave our main parking lot and the lot behind the Little Church is beginning! The main lot, which dates to the con-struction of the new church nearly 20 years ago, has been show-ing its age for the past few years. Repeated patching could no longer keep up with the deteriorating surface. Therefore, to ensure safety and ease of access, repaving the parking lots was included in the scope of the To Teach Who Christ Is capital campaign that began in late 2016. Thanks to the generosity and commitment of the many parishioners who continue to support TTWCI, we are about to realize this goal! The project, which also includes repairs to sections of curbs and sidewalks, should take about 3 weeks to complete, depending on the cooperation of the weather. The laying of the asphalt layers will be timed so that parking for Sunday Masses will not be greatly disrupted (apart from the absence of line markings). Those coming for daily Masses, however, will need to watch for areas of the lot that are blocked off each day. While we will do our best to mini-mize the inconvenience, a project of this scope will necessarily involve a bit of disruption. Your patience is much appreciated! The painting of lane lines and sealcoating the main driveway will be the last items completed. Once the repaving project is done, we will look to replace the light-ing in the lot with brighter and more energy efficient LEDs. Again, thank you for your generosity that is making this important improvement possible. And thank you for your patience and flexi-bility while the work is being done.

“You missed the point,” we might be tempted to shout at the servant in today’s Gospel. His master had just forgiven a huge debt when he cried for mercy, and yet, when given the opportunity to show mercy himself, he instead acted vio-lently and with retribution toward a fellow servant. Certain-ly, he had missed the point of his master’s merciful actions toward him, and suffered the consequences as a result. He missed the point. He is not alone, however. We all “miss the point” sometimes—we miss the point of God’s enduring covenant of love, and miss the mark in our call to live as though we are the Lord’s, for this is who we are. BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST When Peter asked Jesus how many times he must forgive, he was probably stunned at Jesus’ response. Peter had asked, “As many as seven times?” Seven being the perfect number, surely this is enough forgiveness, Peter likely thought. Jesus’ response seems lavish beyond proportion. “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Jesus understands the fullness of God’s mercy and teaches that disciples are called to this same lavish outpouring of mercy. God showers compassion on humanity, beyond what might seem sensible or wise, yet we are called to “remember the Most High’s covenant, and overlook faults,” to give others the benefit of the doubt, knowing that God does this and more with us, each and every day. As recipients of God’s compassion, we must extend forgiveness and care beyond what might seem reasonable, because God’s love is beyond human reason. HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? All this might seem just too much for us. It is one thing to recognize God’s enduring covenant love. It is another to grasp that we are called to the same sort of lavishness in mercy and forgiveness ourselves. Saint Paul helps us put this in perspective. We no longer live for ourselves, but for the Lord. In life and death, we belong to God and are called to be witnesses to God’s love, even in the most challenging circumstances. A friend turns away from us; we are called to turn toward the friend with mercy. A co-worker hurts us; we are called to approach him or her with forgiveness, sev-enty-seven times no less! God’s love is always about what is just and right. As God’s people, we live and die for the Lord, forgive even when it doesn’t make sense to do so, and leave the rest in God’s hands.

Religious Education Fall REP Classes will begin this week! If you have not already registered your children for 2020-21 Reli-gious Education classes, forms can be found at the REP page on the parish website. You can return the forms along with payment to the Parish Office. Due to the current health crisis, classes will be held virtually at least through the end of the calendar year.

THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY

The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we should

treat all others, as if they were Christ in disguise; they “are charitable ac-tions by which we help our neighbors in their bodily needs” (U.S. Catholic Catechism

for Adults). FEED THE HUNGRY • Check in with your neighbors and local commu-nity to see if there are people who can-not (or should not) go grocery shop-ping themselves. • Organize a network of volunteers in your neighborhood to grocery shop for neighbors in need, especially the more vulnerable popula-tions in our community.

PRAY FOR THE SICK: As members of St. Mary’s parish faith community, it is our responsibility to remember both in concrete and spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate Mass with us each week because they are ill. Those who are sick, in turn, remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings. We experience many blessings because of their remembering us. And so, please remember in your prayers the people listed below:

May the God of compassion hold us in the palm of His hand when we feel weary and alone in our suffering. May ours be the look of compassion and the touch of comfort to those who reach out to us in their time of need. And may the blessing of compassion be with us all. P. Normile *If your name or a loved one’s name is not listed but you would like it to be, please contact me via email or phone. Alternatively, if your name is listed but no longer needs to be on the list, please let me know. Due to privacy, only names that have been given to us from an immediate family member with the permission of the person requesting prayers will be printed. It is always a privilege to support you in any way possible. ~Diane Mulroe, Director of Human Concerns dmulroe@stmota.org

The Call to Address Racism in Our Hearts and Communities In their pastoral letter against racism, Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love, the Catholic bishops of the United States invite conversion of hearts, minds, and institutions in order to address the evil of racism that still ex-ists in our communities. By our baptism, we are members of Christ’s body and sharers in his

mission. Imitating Christ, we must care for all members of our communi-ties, honoring each person as unique, sacred, and created in the image of God. We know that the evil of racism cuts to the core of God’s plan for hu-manity, devaluing the diversity God created within the human family. As followers of Christ, we seek to reclaim the God-given sanctity of each per-son’s inviolable human dignity. The bishops remind us, “The command of love requires us to make room for others in our hearts. It means that we are indeed our brother’s keeper (see Gn 4:9).” Some among us may want to believe that our country has moved beyond the reality of racism that has so profoundly stained its past, or that racism does not involve us. Almost every day, news headlines demonstrate that our country’s “original sin” of racism continues to impact the lives of many Americans, many of them Catholic—particularly those who belong to the African American, Hispanic/Latino, or Native American communities. There are signs that racism’s leg-acies remain prevalent in many systemic inequalities that have deep im-pact on people of color. The bishops write, “Racism can only end if we contend with the policies and institutional barriers that perpetuate and pre-serve the inequality—economic and social—that we still see all around us.” Within the walls of the Church, many people of color have experienced dis-crimination and outright racism. Leadership has been lacking. The bishops write, “All too often, leaders of the Church have remained silent about the horrific violence and other racial injustices perpetuated against African Americans and others.” Reflecting on these realities, the bishops implore us to find ways to actively work against the evil of racism. We must seek racial justice within our Church and in our country. Let us all allow the Holy Spirit to convert our hearts to do the work of healing, so we may live au-thentically in true relationship to one another. Let the fruit of this conver-sion be evident in our full celebration and integration of ethnic and cultural diversity, which is truly a gift from God.
