SAINT JAMES CHURCH
LISTENING TO GOD
Familiarity, in the
case of the Lord's
Prayer, probably
hasn't bred contempt
in most of us, but it
certainly can breed a
kind of inertia. The
words we speak in
prayer run the same
risks as all our other
human words: they
can be spoken hastily, thoughtlessly,
carelessly. In a manner parallel to the
words we say in the Lord's Prayer--"forgive us as we forgive others"--today might be the day to invite God to
"listen to us as well as we listen to you." Today might be
the day to listen to the Lord's Prayer with newly attentive
ears.
Let us learn from the example of Luke's Jesus, who
would not instruct others how to pray until he himself had
been a man of prayer. Moreover, listen carefully to the follow-up Jesus gives for the prayer itself. In our quick-fix
society we must heed the call to persistence; in a world that
puts glib explanations on difficult situations we must continue to seek and knock; in our all-too-humanness, we must
be open to the patience, grace, and wisdom of the will of
God. Do we want the Lord to listen to our voice? Maybe
we can start by listening to God's.

Saint James the Elder by Rembrandt
He is depicted clothed as a pilgrim; note the scallop shell on his shoulder
and his staff and pilgrim's hat beside him his symbol is also the carpenter
saw
This Sunday, July 25, our parish celebrates the feast
of its patron, St. James. He is referred to as James
the Great or Elder. He is the brother of St. John the
evangelist; they are referred to as “sons of thunder” (Boanerges) in the Gospel of Mark. Our parish
received his name in 1863 when its founding pastor,
Fr. James Reid, requested that the parish take his
baptismal name.
Though not much is known about any of the 12
apostles, history and legend fills volumes of which
it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. From
the scriptures we know that St. James held special
significance as he is one of the three known as the
“kindred spirits.” It was James along with his
brother John and Peter who were summoned to the
Mount of Transfiguration to experience the Lord’s
transfiguration in all its glory. There they were
privy to the conversation between Moses, Elijah and
Jesus as they discussed his “passage.” The scene is
recorded in the vivid colors of the stained glass window above our baptismal font.
It is known that James was martyred in the year 44
ad by King Agrippa I as recorded in the Acts of the
Apostles. It is believed that his remains were transported to Galicia (modern day Spain) to the town of
Santiago de Compostelo. This town is considered
the third most holy site in Roman Catholicism next
to Jerusalem and Rome. Since the time of the middle
ages (as early as the 9th century) until modern
times, Christians made pilgrimage to Compostelo
by foot and later on by bicycle (100 km walk or 200
km by bicycle). In 2008 alone, over 125,000
“compestelo’s” were made. When July 25th falls on
a Sunday, such as this year, it is known as a “Jubilee
Year,” and the east door of the Santiago Cathedral is
opened to receive pilgrimers.
The story of our namesake,
James, continues to unfold to
this day even as we take up
the “spirit” of his name.
Known as the pilgrim saint he
is depicted by the scallop in
art, and is a constant reminder that we are a “pilgrim
people” on journey with saint and sinner alike to
our eternal destiny of the reign of God on earth.
Happy Feast Day.

Vacation Bible School - Project Water Well
Although 97% of the earth is covered in water, only 1% is potable
water. Potable water is water which is fit for consumption by humans
and animals. It is also called drinking water, in a reference to its intended use. Water may be naturally potable, as is the case with pristine springs, or it may need to be treated in order to be safe.
The issue of access to potable water is very important. In developed
countries, people may not put a great deal of thought into the source

of their water. In many First World nations, citizens can turn on a tap
for fresh, potable water which may also be enriched with things like
fluoride for health. In developing countries, however, and especially in
Haiti, a large proportion of the population does not have access to
safe water.
Clean, safe drinking water is essential for life. In developing countries,
access to safe drinking water can be limited, often resulting in serious
illnesses and death. Water which is not safe to drink can carry diseases and heavy metals. People who consume this water will become
ill, and there is a risk of death. Unfortunately, even in areas where the
water is known to be unsafe, people may drink it anyway, out of desperation.
People, young and old, and animals share what little water is available
in nearby rivers and streams — rivers and streams that are contaminated with sewage runoff and waste. The people living in such conditions desperately need access to water wells, hand water pumps, and
filter systems. Through Food for the Poor, one of the largest international relief organizations, the life-giving gift of clean water is being
provided to many rural villages in Haiti through generous donations.
Water pumps and wells are being installed thanks to these donations,
and for the first time, many Haitians have access to clean drinking
water.
During Vacation Bible School week, our campers learned about the
importance of clean water, as well as being good stewards of the
earth. Our Catholic social teaching requires that we conserve, and not
abuse, the gifts God has given us. The children discussed recycling,
renewing, and the interdependency of everyone and everything on
God’s earth. The rainforest, our theme this year, was a wonderful
backdrop for this ecology discussion. As in the past, we held a Penny
Power collection to benefit the Food for the Poor organization in their
campaign to provide rural areas of Haiti with clean water. All of the
children were asked to collect pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters… and
dollars…to help raise enough money to buy a well through Food for
the Poor. This year, during our VBS week, we hoped to raise $5,298
to drill and install the well - an ambitious goal. To date, we have
raised $1,287 with the amazing support from our parish families. We
have decided to continue the collection in hopes that we will reach our
goal. Please consider donating to this cause as you are able. Every
bit counts, and not only provides water for the people of Haiti, but also
provides life.
FAST FACTS CLEAN DRINKING WATER
• 4500 children die each day from diseases
caused by contaminated water.
• 400 million children lack the minimum
amount of safe water needed to live.
• 84% of water-related deaths occur in children under age 14.
