Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time + Reflection
From last Sunday’s Gospel, we heard how Jesus fed a crowd of more than five thousand through the multiplication of the
loaves and the fishes. But that miracle was not enough of a sign for the crowd to believe in Jesus. They want something
more. It might be tempting for us to judge them harshly. But are not we the same in how we live our lives? Our market
teaches us never to be satisfied, to always want something more. From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to the
gadgets of technology that keep us company, we want more. Jesus tells us to come to him,
and we will never want more, we will be completely satisfied.

Sharing the Gospel
Jesus said, "God wants you to have faith in the one he sent."
The one he sent was Jesus. If you believe in Jesus Christ you
will love God above all else and love your neighbor as
yourself. Full of love, you can do the works of God. You feed
the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter
the homeless, visit those in prison, visit the sick and bury the
dead.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, give me food to share with the hungry.
Mission for the Week
I will make a get well card for a sick person in my family.

Can You Remember the Spiritual Works of Mercy?
Reflection ~ Robin Black-Rubenstein
In April of this year our Holy Father announced that he
would open an Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy starting
on the feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8,
2015. In anticipation of that event, I am writing some of my
columns on the topic of mercy in our Church.
This is what you are to do. Lift your heart up to the Lord with a gentle
stirring of love, desiring him for his own sake and not for his gifts. --The
Cloud of Unknowing, Chapter 3. The text is a spiritual guide on
contemplative prayer in the late Middle Ages written
anonymously. The second reading today from Saint Paul to
the Ephesians gives directions to them regarding keeping
their hearts and minds towards God. He speaks of learning
from Christ not in the “futility of their minds” but to “be
renewed in the spirit of your minds, and put on a new self.”
In the midst of everyday life it can seem difficult and
sometimes futile for us to set aside our concerns about
accomplishing our duties, whatever those are in our life, for
added time in prayer. It can also be difficult if we are unable
to shut off those worries as we attempt to pray and connect
with God. There are many methods of doing this. In this
week and next week’s column, I will give you examples of
different methods and their origins:
The Spiritual Works of Mercy are: instruct the ignorant,
counsel the doubtful, comfort the sorrowing, admonish the
sinner, gladly forgive injuries, bear wrongs patiently and pray
for the living and the dead.
We do not often speak of these works or examine ourselves
about how well we carry out these works. We most often
compare our behavior with the Ten Commandments to see
how well we are doing. It is important to note that in his
description of the Great Judgment (Mt 25:31-46), Matthew
does not describe Jesus as comparing our behavior against
the Ten Commandments but rather against failing to do what
is good: food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, welcoming
the stranger, clothing the naked, caring for the sick and
visiting the prisoner.
All of us judge ourselves in terms of obeying the law instead
of failing to do what is good. Cardinal Walter Kasper writes
in his recent book on mercy that “mercy is concerned with
more than justice; it is a matter of attentiveness and
sensitivity to the concrete needs we encounter.” Cardinal
Kasper sees poverty as having four aspects or manifestations.
There is of course economic poverty, there is cultural poverty
arising from having inadequate or very little education, there
is social poverty arising from a lack of relationships and
loneliness, and there is mental or spiritual poverty arising
from despair and the lack of a spiritual orientation. It is
cultural, social and spiritual poverty that our Spiritual Works
of Mercy address.
In our culture it is very possible for someone who is
economically well off to be suffering one of the other aspects
of poverty. We can all think through our list of family,
friends and acquaintances to see if this might be the case and
then to apply the appropriate Spiritual Work of Mercy to
helping that person. Please take a few minutes to think about
the others in your life and you may well find an opportunity
to practice mercy. ~Deacon Dan
St. Boniface Koinonia Retreat
STBK2 is Friday, September 11—Sunday, September 13.
Attendance is open to everyone 18 and older but will be
limited to the first 30 applications received. The cost is $60
(which includes all meals), but you only need $10 to reserve a
spot. Registration forms are located in the back of the
church or by contacting the parish office. !
!
In the 1970s, drawing from The Cloud of Unknowing and other
Christian mystical writings, three Trappist monks--William
Meninger, Basil Pennington, and Thomas Keating--developed
a simple method of silent prayer. This method came to be
known as Centering Prayer, referencing Thomas Merton's
definition of contemplation as prayer "centered entirely on
the presence of God."
Centering Prayer is simply sitting in silence, open to God's
love and your love for God. This prayer is beyond thoughts,
emotions or sensations. Like being with a very close friend or
companion where words are not required, Centering Prayer
brings your relationship with God to a level deeper than
conversation, connection within the heart.
Because our minds are so attached to thinking, it is suggested
that you choose a sacred word, with one or two syllables, as
the symbol of your intention Then, sit comfortably and with
eyes closed, settle briefly, and silently introduce your sacred
word. When you become aware of thoughts, return ever-sogently to your sacred word. At the end of the prayer period,
remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.
Enjoy in God’s embrace!
St. Boniface RCIA-RCIC
If you or someone you know is interested in knowing more
about the Catholic faith or becoming a member of the
Catholic faith, we invite you to RCIA (the Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults). RCIA is a 7-month process of getting
to know about/becoming a member of the Catholic faith. We
meet most Monday evenings 6:30-8:00 p.m. from September
until the Easter Vigil. Older children, ages 6-13, who wish to
be baptized into the Catholic faith, have their own sessions
on Monday evenings at the same time as RCIA. This is called
RCIC (the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children). For more
information, contact the Parish Office at 656-6450 or Sister
Kathleen Ann at mourissestb@yahoo.com.

for the whole family. We will have the event outside at the Edwardsville Knights of Columbus Hall on Marine Road. Please

Did you know this about St. Boniface Cemetery. . .
In May of 1994 the Edwardsville Knights of Columbus Council 1143 donated a stone marker to honor the innocent victims of
abortion to the St. Boniface Catholic Cemetery. This stone marker was placed, and still remains today, next to the altar at the
cemetery. It quietly reminds us that every human life, as a gift from God, is sacred from conception to natural death. On your
next visit to the St. Boniface Catholic Cemetery, please stop by the altar area where the stone marker rests and say a prayer for
the unborn.
