FOOD PANTRY CORNER

ODE TO THE ST. JUDE FOOD PANTRY Olde Mother Hubbard, went to her cupboard,

To get some of her friends a snack. When she got there, the shelves were quite bare,

And they left without food in their pack.

The St. Jude Food Pantry shelves are "low on": Rice and Beans (both canned and dry) Canned Green Beans/Corn/Carrots Canned Potatoes Tuna/Chicken Large Peanut Butter Mac and Cheese Canned Fruit Baked Beans Tomato Sauce Diced Tomatoes Soups/Pasta Coffee Healthy Cereal

We do not want to see our brothers and sisters in need leave without a food basket due to a shortage of food at

the food pantry. With your help, we will restock the shelves!! Thank you for your generosity!!

Hurricane Prayer Father, all the elements of nature obey your command. Calm the storms that may threaten us this hurricane season,

and turn our fear of your power into the praise of your goodness. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen!

USING OUR TIME WISELY A jar of honey lasts practically forever. The oldest jar of honey ever discovered was over five thousand years old. Honey is quite different from market-fresh produce, then; because most fruits and vegetables last only a few days, we treat them carefully. At this time of summer, we rush to find recipes for cherries and cucumbers so we won’t waste a single one. We wouldn’t feel that same urgency about honey. In our own way, we are as delightful and fragile as ripe produce. Today’s readings urge us not to spoil, but to make good use of our limited time on earth. Ecclesiastes reminds us that because God provides for us now and always, we can manage our daily affairs without anxiety. St. Paul encourages the Colossians to keep thoughts of heaven in everything they do, and Jesus himself asks us to treasure not earthly wealth, but God alone.

ENCOUNTERING OUR LIMITATIONS The author of Ecclesiastes, who is identified as Qoheleth (or “teacher”), draws a disturbing picture about the value of human life and of human effort. “All things are vanity” suggests that everything that we do is transient, frail, and perhaps meaningless. Qoheleth explores deep questions about life with blunt honesty, and he rejects superficial answers. Just as in the Psalms, and in Job, he echoes the universal human longing for clarity and truth. Qoheleth’s reflections, though dark and hinting at despair, remind us that life remains mysterious and beyond full understanding. Today’s responsorial psalm offers a faith response to Qoheleth’s struggles. Despair can cast a veil over our eyes, hiding God’s love from us. God does not provide us with all the answers. But God offers meaning, the only real and lasting meaning, to our work and to our lives. When necessary, we can accept and live into life’s limitations, rather than seek to defeat them or escape from them. Our frailty and transience can open us into loving relationship with the limitless and the eternal.

WEALTH AND IDOLATRY In today’s Gospel passage from Luke, Jesus vividly demonstrates his concern about the dangers of wealth in the parable of the rich fool. The problem is not about saving for the future. The problem is revealed in the rich man’s language of self-absorption: it’s all about him. There is no gratitude or responsibility toward God or toward others. He seems to believe that he can secure his future by hoarding his wealth and possessions. It is a form of idolatry. Part of how we decide what gives life meaning is deciding who or what we serve. Who or what claims our primary energies and best efforts? Idolatry places one’s primary trust in something imagined or created, instead of God. Idolatry is a central theme discussed throughout the scriptures, and idolatry of wealth is no less a danger in modern times than it was in ancient days.

May I be no one’s enemy, and may I be the friend of that which is

eternal and abides. —St. Eusebius of Vercelli

USANDO NUESTRO TIEMPO SABIAMENTE Un frasco con miel prácticamente dura por siempre. El frasco de miel más antiguo descubierto tenía casi más de cinco mil años de antigüedad. La miel es muy diferente de cualquier otro alimento producido; entonces porque muchas frutas y vegetales solo duran unos pocos días si las cuida-mos. En este tiempo del verano, nos apresuramos a encon-

trar recetas para cerezas y pepinos para no desperdiciar ni uno solo. Pero no tendríamos la misma prisa para la miel. En nuestra propia manera, somos como una de esas frutas y vegetales frágiles y maduros. Las lecturas de hoy nos sugieren a no echarnos a perder, sino a hacer un buen uso de nuestros limitado tiempo en la tierra. El libro del Eclesiastés nos recuerda que ya que Dios provee para nosotros ahora y siempre, podemos administrar nuestros asuntos diarios sin ninguna ansiedad. San Pablo anima a los colosenses a mantener pensamientos del cielo en todo lo que hacen y Jesús mismo nos pide que no atesoremos riqueza terrenal sino solo a Dios.

DESCUBRIENDO NUESTRAS LIMITACIONES El autor del libro de Eclesiastés, se llama así mismo Qohélet (o “maestro”), dibuja una imagen alarmante del valor de la vida y esfuerzos humanos. “Todo es vanidad” sugiere que todo lo que hacemos es temporal, frágil y quizá insignificante; Qohélet explora las preguntas extensas acerca de la vida con una honestidad contundente y rechaza respuestas superficiales. Así como el libro de los Salmos y en el libro de Job, se hace eco al anhelo universal humano por claridad y confianza. Las reflexiones del libro del Ecle-siastés, aunque oscuro e insinuante en la desesperación, nos recuerda que la vida permanece misteriosa y más allá de todo entendimiento. La respuesta del Salmo de hoy ofrece una respuesta de fe a las luchas presentadas en el libro del Eclesiastés. La desesperación puede poner un velo ante nuestros ojos, ocultándonos el amor de Dios. Dios no nos da todas las respuestas. Pero Dios ofrece un significado, el único significado verdadero y eterno para nuestros trabajos y nuestras vidas. Cuando es necesario, podemos aceptar y vivir en las limitaciones de la vida, en lugar de buscar desafiarlas o escapar de ellas. Nuestras debilidades y fugacidad pueden abrirnos hacia una relación amorosa con Dios infinito y eterno.

LA RIQUEZA Y LA IDOLATRIA Hoy en la lectura del Evangelio de Lucas, Jesús vívidamente demuestra su preocupación acerca de los peligros de la riqueza en la parábola del rico insensato. El problema no es ahorrar para el futuro. El problema se revela en el lenguaje de ensimismamiento del hombre rico. Él parece creer que puede asegurar su futuro acumu-lando su riqueza y posesiones. Eso es una forma de idolatría. Parte de cómo decidimos lo que le da significado a la vida, es decidiendo a quién o a qué servir. ¿Quién o qué reclama nuestra energía principal y mejores esfuerzos? La idolatría coloca nuestra confianza principal en algo imaginado o creado, en lugar de Dios. La idolatría es un tema central de discusión a lo largo de las Escrituras, y la idolatría de la riqueza no es un peligro menor en nuestro tiempo contemporáneo que en los antiguos días.

Jane Roe – Conversión Pro-Vida Norma McCorvey fue la “Jane Roe” de la decisión en el caso “Roe contra Wade” de la Corte Suprema de Justicia que legalizó el aborto en 1973. Años después de ganar el caso, ella tuvo una completa conversión Pro-Vida. El

P. Frank Pavone, Director Nacional de Sacerdotes por la Vida, con-firmó a Norma cuando se unió a la Iglesia en 1998. Durante el resto de sus días, trabajó sin descanso para reversar la decisión que había ganado, y ponerle fin al aborto. Norma murió en 2017. Ella dijo, “Pensé que deseaba realizarme un aborto del bebé que llevaba en mi vientre, pero no tenía la mínima idea de que todo conllevaría a un problema controversial. No sabía que existían dos lados acerca del problema del aborto. No asistí a ninguna de las audiencias en la corte. De hecho, por eso utilicé el nombre de Jane Roe puesto que no deseaba que mi nombre y datos personales se vieran involucra-dos. Desde el 8 de agosto de 1995, he sido completamente Pro-Vida. El aborto es completamente errado. Yo fui la Jane Roe del caso “Roe contra Wade”, pero Jane Roe ya ha muerto.”

Jane Roe – Pro-life Conversion Norma McCorvey was the “Jane Roe” of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in 1973. Years after winning that case, she had a conversion and became completely pro-life. Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, confirmed Norma as she entered the Church in 1998. For the rest of her life, she worked to overturn the very decision she won, and to end abortion. She died in 2017. Norma said, “I thought that I wanted to have an abortion with the baby that I was carrying, but I had no idea that it would lead up to such a controversial issue. I didn't know that there was two sides to the abortion issue. I didn't attend any of the court proceedings. In fact that's why I used the name Jane Roe because I didn't want my own personal name to be involved in it. Since August 8, 1995, I have been pro-life clear across the board. Abortion is totally wrong. I was the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade, but Jane Roe has been laid to rest.”
