Reflection:
“What Truly Satisfies”
Dear Corpus Christi . . .
. . . thank you for your donation of
$1993.00 to the Mission Appeal made by
Fr. Roger Nyimi on August 9 and 10. Your
sacrifice constitutes a real help for our men
and women in the field. Much can be
accomplished because of your enthusiasm and
support. Our gratitude will find its fullest
expression in our daily prayers for your
special intentions. Sincerely yours in Christ,
Bishop Mbuka Cyprien, CICM
"What profit would there be for one to gain the
whole world and forfeit his life?" Profit and
gain. Most of us would be happy to
experience these things. In our capitalist
economy, profit is the point. Gain is the goal.
Thought of in terms of money or
possessions, having plenty of them often
offers us a sense of security and sometimes
a kind of pleasure. But today Jesus warns
us about putting too much stock in this kind
of worldly security.
It's
important
to
recognize that Jesus
isn't condemning money
or possessions in and of
themselves. But he is
advocating a radical
rethinking of our priorities. In a way, he
turns everything upside down. Instead of
giving us tips to "gain the whole world,"
Jesus instructs us to take up our cross and
follow him, and to lose our life for his sake.
This is not a message about gain but about
loss. At least, that's how it appears on the
surface. When we take up our cross —
embracing the sacrifices that come with our
vocation, or accepting the sufferings that
inevitably cross our path — it may not gain
us immediate relief, but it will unite us to
Christ who suffered for us on the cross.
When we lose our life for his sake — giving of
our time, our talents,

Reflection:
“What Truly Satisfies”
(continued from page 1)
Many tim es people wish that they lived back in the
time of Jesus so that they could meet him in person.
The truth is that we do m eet Jesus in m any special
ways: in people, in nature, through the Bible, and
very uniquely in the sacram ents of the Catholic
Church. This Septem ber we are beginning classes to
prepare children, young people and adults to receive
the sacraments of Baptism , Eucharist and
Confirm ation. Registration inform ation is available in
the back of church. W e ask that you register as
soon as possible so that we can order enough
materials.
and our treasure for the sake of those we love or
those in need — it may not fill our pocketbooks, but
it will fill our hearts.
Children 7 years of age or older who are in second
grade or above are eligible to prepare to receive the
sacram ents of Reconciliation and Eucharist. This
class helps the children appreciate the great gift that
Jesus gave us of him self in the Eucharist. Classes
begin Saturday, Septem ber 27, at 10:00 am . in
Classroom 5 (the “atrium ”) in the school building.
Perceptions Of The Faithful
Any young person 12 years of age or older in eighth
grade or high school m ay begin preparation to receive
the sacram ent of Confirm ation.
During their
preparation to receive the sacram ent of Confirm ation,
the students learn about the gift of our Catholic faith
and what privileges and responsibilities they have as
Catholic Christians. There will be a m eeting for
students, parents and sponsors on Sunday,
Septem ber 28, 12:30 p.m . in the rectory basem ent.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) or
Really Clear Interesting Accepting is the process is
for adults who wish to join the Catholic Church, for
adult Catholics who wish to receive the sacram ent of
Confirm ation, and for Catholics who m ay have been
away from the church for awhile and want to get
updated on their faith. Our first m eeting will be on
Sunday, Septem ber 28, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. in the
rectory dining room .
Generations of Faith this year will continue our
study of the Bible. Our them e this year will be
Journey Toward God : W alking with People of the
Bible. W e will study people who are “m easuring
sticks” for us and our relationship with God. How do
we find God in our relationships? Among the Biblical
characters we will study are: Joseph and his
brothers, Ruth, Naomi and other wom en in the Old
Testam ent, Peter, Matthew, Zacchaeus and other
disciples, Mary Magdalene, Phoebe, Lydia, Priscilla,
Mary, and others — and of course, our risen Lord,
Jesus Christ. W atch the bulletin and listen for m ore
information com ing soon.
Please contact me at 414-801-0100 or 313-537-5770
for m ore information. — Sr. Therese
Jesus wants our lives to be full. Full of love, full of
peace, full of joy. Today he rem inds us to be sure we
aren't so full of other "stuff" that we have no room left
for what truly satisfies. Jesus prom ises that in losing
our life for his sake, we will find it in the end. May we
have the confidence to put our trust in this promise.

Stewardship Thoughts
In the Liturgy of the W ord, a
central them e em erges: doing
God’s will. Although reluctant,
the
prophet
Jerem iah ,
because
of
his
close
relationship with God, is
inspired to do God’s will in
prophesy
against
the
c o m m u n it y
lea ders’
id o l
worship and injustice to the
poor. St. Paul, in his Letter to the Rom ans,
encourages them to find God’s will by transform ing
and renewing their m inds and bodies to what is good,
pleasing, and perfect to Him . Jesus follows His
Father’s will by telling the disciples in St. Matthew’s
Gospel that He will suffer, die, and be raised on the
third day. For Christian stewards, the ultim ate
scenario for discipleship is to draw closer to Christ by
seeking the Father’s will, and then doing it. For the
faithful steward, the result is trem endous fulfillment
and peace in this life.
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any w ant to
becom e my follow ers, let them deny them selves
and take up their cross and follow m e.” (M atthew
16:24)
Adult: In w hat concrete w ays do you take up
your cross and follow Jesus?
Child: W hen has it been difficult to be a follow er
of Jesus?
