Welcome to Good Shepherd Catholic Church
703 Third Street Hillsboro MO 63050
I was deeply honored when my brother and his wife asked me to be the godfather to their first child, a responsibility that I take seri-ously. I knew, however, that I had to be vigilant. You see, my brother’s wife, for all of her beauty and virtue, possesses a fatal flaw: she is a Chicago Cubs fan. As such, whenever I see a picture of my niece in Cubs attire, it is my unhappy duty to speak up to my brother, “I’m concerned about the spiritual well-being of my goddaughter…” In the Eternal View of things, our baseball allegiances don’t really carry much weight. But our allegiance to Jesus does. He is the one through whom we were made, and for whom our hearts are designed, and in whom we find mercy, truth and fulfillment. Sadly, however, due to the Fall and the disorder of our hearts, we often choose idols to replace God. The idols may be good in them-selves! But if they take the place of God, they are misplaced and will only lead, in the end, to grief. Classically, the idols are often categorized as money, power, honor, pleasure, and… love. Love? How can love ever be an idol? When we love lesser things more than greater things. For instance, I love steak! But if I put my love of steak above my love for a friend, it becomes an idol. I might put my love Cardinals baseball above my love for my fam-ily. I might even, as Jesus speaks of in today’s Gospel, be tempted to put love for my family above love for God. Sadly, this is all too common, often causing great grief. A family member might tug at us on vacation to sleep in on Sunday rather than go to Mass. He or she might say that if we don’t accept their decision to live in a way contrary to the Gospel that we don’t love them. Others simply, with winks and nudges or blunt statements, tell us that we’re foolish for believing there’s a God. I do not wish to diminish the difficulty of these situations, nor the pain felt in this tearing of the heart. Who is a good companion in navigating this ‘valley of tears’? I would suggest St. Monica. She had a difficult marriage, and a dif-ficult son. The son we know: he would eventually become the great St. Augustine! But not after a long and winding road that caused Monica grief and tears for many years… yet Monica, with great love for her son, never ceased to pray for her son, and lov-ingly admonish him when the opportunity presented itself. She also had a hard and difficult husband, not even Christian, who in the final year of his life experienced a complete change of character, received baptism, and died in the Faith. Both would point to St. Monica’s steadfast example, love, and words as pivotal in their eventual change of heart to Christ. Let’s ask for the intercession of St. Monica, that we might be steadfastly faithful first to God; and that through us, He might bring the minds and hearts of our family to the same love of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ! Gratefully in Christ, Father Buehler

ANNUAL WHITE HOUSE RETREAT FOR GOOD SHEPHERD MEN
All men of the parish are invited to join us on our annual Parish men’s retreat at White House Retreat in south St. Louis County. It will take place starting with dinner on Thursday evening, Oct. 17, at 7:00 PM, and ending at 2:00 PM with dinner on Sunday, Oct.20. Join us at the Jesuits’ White House, which is a beautiful 80-acre campus high on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. This is a silent, guided retreat filled with good rest, good food, and inspiring conferences to bring you closer to Christ. It’s like a three-day vacation with Jesus. You’ll come away with a new perspective on your life and a wonderful inner peace to face problems with new courage. Give it a chance and see what it can do for your life! There is no set fee to attend; White House operates on a free-will offering basis. Reserve your spot by calling Philip Giljum at 636-797-3020 or Bill Davis at 789-4929.

Currently, bulletin notifications are received at multi-ple parish emails. It’s a challenge to keep-up with the many points of collection. Starting August 19, 2019 please submit articles or notices for current bulletins
to the new email address by 10:00am on Tuesday. It is to be used only for bulletin communication. Items will be posted for no more than 2 consecutive weeks, unless space permits. Thank you for understanding efforts to streamline communica-tion!
Regarding end-of-Mass an-nouncements: The number of general announcements prior to the end of Mass will be decreasing. Fr. Buehler will simply communicate “please refer to the bulletin for up-coming activities, events and general updates.” Much of the information may also be re-ceived via the weekly email blasts. If you are not on the email list and wish to be add-ed, contact the parish office.

Stewardship
Of all the gifts that God
gives us, the one he wants
the most is our heart. He
wants us to share out of
love, not out of obligation.
Stewardship Reflection “Do you think I have come to give you peace on Earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” (Luke 12:51) Living a stewardship life-style means stepping out of our comfort zone when needed. Many of us like to play it safe, not cause waves, stay in the middle of the road. In today’s world we are called to be informed and take a stance for life, marriage and religious liberty.
