TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 30, 2015
A Word from
Our Pastor Fr. Ron Weissbeck
My dear family in Christ,
God formed a unique people through the
experience in the desert. In the divine plan, 40 years were
set aside to bring together a diverse group of individuals
that began with a desire to escape the enslavement of
Egypt. God gave this challenge to Moses, who trusted the
LORD because of his experience with the burning bush. It
was disclosed to Moses that where God was found, there
was holy ground. This short exchange with the burning
bush radically impacted Moses’ world. He was called from
being a shepherd of sheep to forming a people.
Much of this has been presented in the first reading
for this, the Twenty-second Sunday of Ordinary Time in the
Church year. I would like to pattern this experience of
Moses to our parish, St. John the Baptist. A parish is a
gathering of Catholic believers who express their identity
primarily through the act of worship which we know as the
Mass. It is obvious that it is not a club of like-minded
individuals who have a preset agenda or plan. We identify
with Christ through baptism. Our faith in Christ is made
present in the Church. As members of the Church, we do
not set the rules, but live them. The Church, as we profess
in the CREED, is one, holy, catholic and apostolic.
Our parish of St. John the Baptist is represented at
the entrance to Benedict Hall as a train that is pulled by
Christ and energized by the divine life. This train is
pictured as five cars being linked to each other to go in the
same direction, all belonging to the same Eucharistic
community.
We are challenged by the words of Jesus in this
Sunday’s gospel from Mark, chapter 7, about judging by
externals as the gauge for being a good member. It is truly
by integrating our behavior with our inner dispositions that
makes a parish community dynamic.
I should like to pose this question: How do you see
our parish, and specifically, your involvement?
A parish has various ministries, expressions, and
commitments, but along with the sharing of our time, our
ministries need to be supported financially so we can
continue to have a dynamic, engaging, and welcoming
parish community.
Come to Festival on Main on Friday, August 28th from
6:00 to 10:00 p.m. to have fun with your family! While you
are there, stop by to support and say hello at your St. John
the Baptist RESPECT LIFE tent. We will be there, as a part
of your community and the city of Longmont, to witness to
the sanctity and joy of all human life from conception to
natural death. We will have pamphlets, information on the
Church’s teachings, and maybe a goody or two! If you
have any questions or want to volunteer, call Amy at 303682-8824. Look for our BABY banner!
This week in Our Gift Shop…
.
Stop in this week to learn more
about the angels.
No creatures are more mysterious
than the angels. In A Year with
the Angels, you will get a glimpse
of these magnificent beings and of
the celestial realms where they
make their home.
Tuesday Morning Fall Bible Study
Fr. Ron
3
A fall Bible Study class will meet on Tuesday mornings.
Please watch our bulletin for a complete description of our
study material.
Consider this from 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is
inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation,
for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one
who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every
good work.”
CHURCH OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST
LONGMONT, COLORADO
Our Altar and Rosary
Society would like to
ask all women of the
parish to join us at
our September 2nd
rosary and luncheon. We meet at 12:00 p.m. to say the
rosary together in the chapel. Afterwards we will have a
covered dish luncheon in Benedict Hall. Father Gerardo
Garcia is our guest speaker. If you have any questions,
please contact Mary Clemmons at 303-250-8581.
and Outreach
By John Williams
Fr. Francis will be in the states around September
4th until mid-October. He is really looking forward to
seeing everyone, and all indications are that many of us
will be glad to see him, especially since he could not make
it last year.
All construction on the new clinic should be
completed before he leaves Uganda. Recently one of our
parishioners made
a trip to Uganda to
deliver an
ultra-sound
machine for the
John XXIII clinic
in Gayaza. This
same emissary
also inspected and
approved recent
work to the solar
panels at two
locations. I am
sure Fr. Francis will be bringing many pictures of the
construction and finished product of the new clinic near
Wambale.
We will be working on having a slideshow
presentation for the parish to catch up on all the new
developments in his area of jurisdiction, including the new
clinic, church improvements, various gardens, and the
greenhouse. It will be great to see his smiling face again.
You Are
Not
Alone…
It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss
of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a
hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the
emptiness. Project Rachel Post Abortion Healing Hotline:
303-388-4491, ext. 153. Open 24 hours to women and men.
St. Anne’s Mission Rosary Guild
We will be having our monthly meeting
next month on Thursday, September
10th at 12:45 p.m. in Benedict Hall.
Don't forget—we are having our
pictures taken for the parish directory.
Tradition
Tradition is long human memory set, not in stone, but
in human interaction. Without this active memory, the
bonds of relationship and affection fray and fall apart.
Communities dissolve as surely as neglected buildings do.
After participating in events, celebrations, and even small
rituals, we remark about how good it is to gather and
remember.
Today’s readings remind us of foundations laid deeper
than the human will to relate. Today we hear about God’s
will to relate to us—to be our God as we are called to be
God’s own beloved people.
Today in three readings and three ways we remember
the covenant bonds that create us as a people and the
obligation and responsibility that express the innermost
attitude of soul. You are mine. I am yours. These are
God’s words that created a people as surely as “Let there be
light” created the sun and moon and all the stars.
The gift of being aware of God in our daily lives begins
with individual personal growth through which we
can mature into a community of faith. To get started,

sjb. Please consider this as a powerful and faith-filled
opportunity to begin each day.
Flocknote from Wednesday, August 19th: “The Lord
comes to us disguised as ourselves.”

CATHOLIC ENRICHMENT
Let us help you navigate your faith journey! Please visit www.johnthebaptist.org and click on Catholic Enrichment.
Catechist's Corner

RCIA, with Anna Campbell
For many of us, we work hard to accumulate
material possessions. Jesus gave us his flesh
and blood in the Eucharist. He said that

unless we eat of His flesh and drink of His
blood we will not have everlasting life. He
gave us the gift of faith. Are we sharing that precious
gift? Do our friends and family know what we have?
Please invite them to come and see. Join us September
13th to begin an amazing journey that will bring them ever
closer to Christ.
Catholic Religious Education (CREED)
What’s old is new again! CREED has decided to embrace
an old tradition for some of our CREED students. Classes
for grades K-2 will be held on Sunday mornings from
9:30-10:15 a.m. We recognize that little ones may have
some challenges in the standard classroom setting after
attending school all day. Our new time for this younger
group will be from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m., and falls between the
two most popular family Masses, 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
CLOW: Staring up in November, our Children’s Liturgy
of the Word will start up again at the 10:30 Mass and we
encourage our families to stay after their child’s class and
attend. This is a wonderful Mass for our little ones,
especially those preparing for their First Holy Communion.
Grades 3-8, including RCIC and
RCIT will be held on Tuesday evenings,
6:00 - 7:30 p.m. beginning September 15th
Grades K-2 - Sundays, 9:30 - 10:15 a.m.
beginning September 20th
Coming This Fall…
St. John the Baptist is pleased to announce a new program
for our high schoolers. Addressing the call to assist in the
moral formation of our youth, we are blessed with an
extraordinary and qualified instructor who is thrilled to be
working with our youth. For more information please
contact Liz Smith at 303-776-0737, ext. 106.

Everyday Stewardship
Stewardship must never become reduced to simply ministry fairs,
commitment cards, and stewardship directories. These are tools by which we learn
how to practice our stewardship, but they are not stewardship in and of themselves.
All actions of giving or sharing should flow from the mature heart of person,
mindful of the reasons why these actions are important at all. If we lose sight of the
motivations for our actions, we risk becoming a bell without a ring or a piano with
no tones. The answer should always be on the tip of our tongues and the forefront
of our minds to the question: why?
Too often we forget that the activities of parish stewardship exist only to
lead us into a way of living. Every Sunday is Commitment Sunday. Every day
there is a call upon us to respond. And without the answer to “why,” we become
the sum of things we do, rather than the love and grace we hold in our hearts.
So why do we share our time, talent, and treasure? What does it matter? We can give the simplistic answer,
“Because God asks us to.” But since we are called to be mature in our discipleship, then the question that demands an
answer is, “Why does he ask these things of us?” And there lies the crux of the matter. We are called to do these things so
that we may bear witness to the reality of the transforming power of Jesus Christ, so that others may come to follow him as
well.
It is great to have more money in the collection, and more hands to share the load. But at the end of the day, it is
about more than making our parish lives better. It is about leading people to heaven. If we can understand that, then every
day becomes an important day for stewardship, and everyday stewards can help God transform all those around them.

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what
defile.” In the days of Jesus, this issue was about performing empty external rituals of cleanliness instead of purifying the
heart. For most of us, the issue is probably a bit different. Our fixation on externals is not so much with religious
prescriptions and practices; instead, our daily obsession tends to be with appearances in general.
In our media-saturated culture, we are extremely tuned in to how things look. We are trained to respond to current
fashion trends in clothing, hair, makeup, and accessories. Even bodies, cars, houses, and landscaping all fall into the realm
of highly marketed images. The risk for us is to be so concerned with having the right “look” on the outside that we fail to
consider what’s happening on the inside.
Life is about more than what we have or what we parade around for others to see. As human beings we are a unity
of body and soul, and if we neglect our souls, then we are neglecting the fulfillment of our human nature. We need to make
sure we are not like the Pharisees in today’s reading who were too concerned with outside appearances. Jesus tells us in
response to them that “from within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed,
malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile.”
This list makes a good starting point for some personal meditation on our interior life. Let’s ask ourselves, “Which
of the behaviors on this list threaten to defile my soul?” Then, let’s ask the Holy Spirit to help purify us of that spiritual
ugliness so we can appear beautiful in the sight of God.
Every year the Office of Marriage and Family Life Ministries invites couples throughout
the Archdiocese that have or will be celebrating their 25th, 50th, or 50+ anniversaries to
attend an annual Anniversary Mass. This year’s Mass will be held at Immaculate Heart of
Mary and will be celebrated by Archbishop Samuel Aquila. The Mass will also include a renewing of the marital vows. It is
always a great joy to recognize couples who have reached such a milestone in their marriage. We celebrate the
witness of their fidelity to the sacrament of marriage. There is no cost for the event.
Sunday, October 11th at 1:00 p.m. Mass

AUGUST 30, 2015
LA NUEVA EVANGELIZACION Y EL CULTO DE LA IGLESIA.
El culto de la iglesia tiene su centro en Cristo, y sobre todo en su misterio pascual. Aquí
radica su identidad, y también la clave de su relación con el culto del AT. La confrontación entre la
muerte de Cristo y las tradiciones cultuales del AT manifiesta al mismo tiempo semejanzas y
diferencias sustanciales. Comparado con los diversos tipos de sacrificios rituales antiguos, el
acontecimiento de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo manifiesta su riqueza interna: que es el valor de
un sacrificio de expiación, de alianza, de consagración, de acción de gracias y de alabanza.
Hay que evitar totalmente la vuelta a un culto simplemente ritual, externo, convencional. El culto cristiano no
consiste en el cumplimiento exacto de ciertas ceremonias, tampoco se reduce a una simple alabanza llena de cantos y
melodías, sino en la transformación de la existencia misma, por medio de la caridad divina. La novedad evangélica se
da a entender en toda su originalidad: "En Cristo Jesús ni la circuncisión vale algo ni la incircuncisión, sino la fe que
obra por medio de la caridad" (Gál 5,6). Los libros del NT, al mismo tiempo que hacen ver la continuidad con el AT,
manifiestan la superación y la novedad. Un signo evidente lo encontramos en el hecho de que, cuando se trata de
hablar del culto de la iglesia, que nació de la pascua y se manifestó con la efusión del Espíritu Santo en pentecostés,
los autores de los libros del NT evitan expresarlo con los términos usados por el AT, y más bien recurren a términos
en cierto modo profanos, que no tienen absolutamente nada de cultual. La celebración eucarística, por ejemplo, no se
llama nunca sacrificio, sino "fracción del pan" (He 2,42-46; 20,7-11; 1 Cor 10,16), "cena del Señor" (1 Cor 11,20),
"mesa del Señor" (1 Cor 10,21), "cáliz de bendición" o "cáliz del Señor" (1 Cor 10,16-21).
Por el contrario, el NT ha reservado sistemáticamente los términos cultuales para designar la comunidad cristiana
y la vida de caridad, ya sea de los fieles, ya de los apóstoles. Los creyentes, estimulados por el Espíritu que los anima, en
comunión de vida con su Señor, están "dispuestos como piedras vivientes a ser edificados en casa espiritual y sacerdocio
santo para ofrecer víctimas espirituales aceptas a Dios por mediación de Jesucristo" (1 Pe 2,5; cf 1 Cor 3,10-17; 2 Cor
6,16ss; Ef 2,20ss). San Pablo identifica, hasta el punto de no distinguirlos, el culto cristiano con la vida cristiana: "Os ruego,
hermanos, por la misericordia de Dios, que ofrezcáis vuestros cuerpos como sacrificio vivo, santo, agradable a Dios: éste es
el culto que debéis ofrecer" (Rom 12,1). La actividad apostólica, por consiguiente, es considerada por Pablo como una
liturgia, "la tarea sagrada del evangelio" (Rom 15,16), en virtud de la cual puede ofrecerse el único sacrificio agradable a
Dios, la ofrenda de la vida en el Espíritu Santo: "Me ha sido dada por Dios la gracia de ser ministro de Jesucristo para los
gentiles ejerciendo la tarea sagrada del evangelio de Dios, para que la ofrenda de los gentiles sea agradable a Dios,
santificada por el Espíritu Santo" (Rom 15,15-16). Por eso el templo material donde se celebraba el culto del AT ha sido
sustituido por la comunidad misma, "cuerpo de Cristo resucitado" (cf 1 Cor 12,12), verdadero pueblo sacerdotal que adora,
en Cristo y por Cristo, al Padre "en espíritu y en verdad" (cf Jn 4,23-24).
El culto cristiano en la Iglesia católica, puede definirse con estas palabras de S. Marsili: "El momento en que los
hombres, habiendo tomado conciencia de su inserción en Cristo, realizan en sí, según formas propiamente cultuales
(adoración, alabanza, acción de gracias) externamente manifestadas, aquella misma totalidad deservicio a Dios que Cristo
rindió al Padre, aceptando plenamente su voluntad en la escucha constante de su voz y en la perenne fidelidad a su alianza"
