Peace and good! On August 11th we celebrated the Feast of St. Clare
of Assisi. As Franciscans, we refer to and honor Clare of Assisi as a
co-founder of the Franciscan movement. In our Franciscan tradition
we give attention to Clare and her unique role in the Franciscan
story for the best insight into Francis since she was the first
Franciscan woman.
The Franciscan pilgrimage leader, Friar Roch Niemier, OFM shares
the following insights into Clare’s life.
Clare was born in 1193, in the upper section of Assisi,
of a noble and wealthy family. As Francis was stirring up the
town with his gospel life, Clare herself became attracted to join
Francis and in 1212 left her family by stealth in order to do so.
Eventually Francis settled her into San Damiano, together with
the first women who joined her community. Clare lived the
ideals of the gospel in the spirit of St. Francis until she died in
1253, some 27 years after Francis.
Perhaps the best insight into Clare, and what she accomplished,
is to examine briefly the qualities of her leadership, a leadership
that gave birth to an entirely new and refreshing look at women,
at society, and at the Church of her era.
Friar Roch shares three qualities of her leadership:
• Servant Leadership
• Respect and equality
• A Contemplative and Listening Spirit
The first quality – Servant Leadership:
Clare was, undoubtedly, a servant first. Although from
aristocracy, she instinctively mothered her sisters, and all who
came to San Damiano, with compassion and healing and love.
All grew into reflections of the gospel. The “servant first”
quality makes sure that other people’s highest priority needs
are being served.
The second quality – Respect and Equality:
Clare created a city of equal ladies at San Damiano. All classes
of women were welcome and made to feel one. This was a
radical stance for her time. She provided a new image and
dignity for women, a new model of religious life. As we absorb
this we feel a new breath of air, a kind of new light, a new place,
a new city of God. This grew out of respect towards all: rich,
poor, sick, uneducated, middle class. All were equal in the sight
of God and thus in the vision of Clare.
The third quality – A Contemplative and Listening Spirit:
Nurturing a prayerful, contemplative spirit might be the most
important quality for a leader, for it gives birth to a listening
stance towards others. A contemplative spirit teaches one to
listen. It anchors the person concerning the vision and goals of
the group. It keeps clarifying the focus of life and one’s
institution (or family), maintaining a single-hearted perspective.
A contemplative spirit develops strong roots. As a contemplative
Clare was very clear about her way of life and instilled this
foundation in her sisters.
Clare of Assisi invites each of us to embrace the Gospel in our daily
lives by embracing: servant leadership; respect and equality; and a
contemplative and listening spirit.
In the peace of Francis of Assisi,

TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
The Parish staff wishes to thank the following parish
ministries:
August 14, 2016
St. Joseph Men’s Society - In need of a weekly spiritual
battery charge? Join our Tuesday Morning Prayer Hour,
held every Tuesday, at 7:00-8:00AM in Room 210. We begin
with a group prayer, readings from the Magnificat, a short
analysis of next week's Gospel, and then a roundtable discussion. Every Tuesday, throughout the year, the opportunity to
join other men of the parish to "Put the family in the hands of
the Father" is there for the asking.
We thank our Religious Education staff, Faith Formation
program leaders, and the volunteers who shared the parish’s
commitment to Catechesis and Faith Formation with our
parishioners this past weekend. We thank you for your
ministry.
We thank our parishioners who participate in the catechetical
and faith formation programs at the parish. May you continue
to deepen your faith and knowledge in our Catholic tradition.
We thank our parishioners for their support of the Parish
Facility Fund Collection. Your contributions assist us in
maintaining and caring for our parish buildings and grounds.
Know that we are grateful for your prayers and support.
We thank our parishioners who have responded to the call to
be Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
(Eucharistic Ministers). Eucharistic Ministers are called by
God to become servants to other members of the Body of
Christ. The function of an Extraordinary Minister is to assist
the priest in distributing the true presence of Christ during the
Mass. They also bring Holy Communion to our parishioners at
the hospital and nursing homes, and to those who are bound to
their homes. We thank you for your ministry.
The Lector’s proclamation enables God's Word to
achieve the purpose for which it was sent. If you
feel called to serve St. Joseph Catholic Church as
a Lector, and have received Confirmation, or if
you have any questions about becoming a Lector,
please call Mark Overberg at (703) 787-9824.
New Lector training will be provided on
August 20th from at 9 - 10 a.m. in the Church.

flowers for the Sanctuary in honor or in memory of a
loved one or for some special occasion, call Jeanne at

arrange for flowers. A note in the bulletin will mark
your generosity and the event for which the flowers
were given.

House on August 25th at

small program planned for us.
