GREETERS NEEDED If you really want to get to know your church family, become a Greeter! You get to know everyone who comes thru the doors each week and then everyone gets to know you as well. It's only once every six weeks that you need to be at a door and the more greeters we have, the less often you need to help out. We would like to cover both of the side doors and at present have 6-7 volunteers. Men and adult children are more than welcome.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus is describing God's immeasurable generosity when He says in today's Gospel, "Whoever asks, receives: whoever seeks, finds; whoever knocks, is admitted." But it should also be the description of us as Christian stewards--those seeing to follow Christ by using our gifts in service to others.

See Luke 11:10

 

Good News!

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

GENESIS 18:20-32 / COLOSSIANS 2:12-14 / LUKE 11:1-13

The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. Were they surprised by his answer? Scripture scholars say that much in the Lord's Prayer is found throughout the Jewish practice and worship the disciples and Jesus already shared.

What's new in Jesus' words? We're to pray for God's kingdom. What is stopping that kingdom? What powers deny justice? It's frightening to consider all the ways in which the poor are given no chance to improve their lot and the ways in which power is used to collect more power and more wealth in the face of those who have nothing.

Different people who pray for their daily bread ask for different things. Those who don't eat every day pray that will change. Can I eat today? Can my young children and my old parents eat? Would those of us who have much dare to ask for--dare to settle for--receiving just daily bread?

The Lord's Prayer moves us to ask for forgiveness and the strength to forgive. We ask, too, that when the biggest tests come, we'll receive the strength to endure them.

The epistle to the Colossians shows us where our hope and strength come from; our sins are nailed to the cross--to Jesus' deadly cross--the place where our debts are paid.

Two remarkable elements in the Lord's Prayer give new hope to each person who prays as Jesus taught. The early Church fathers understood the daily bread of Jesus' prayer as the Eucharist. Can we go to the table we share, can we see who is rich and who is poor there and see Christ in them?

This is daunting. Yet it is possible when we pray, as Jesus teaches us, to the One we can approach with intimacy and childlike trust--our Abba.

dear Padre

Who is Thea Bowman? I attended Mass last week at a mostly African American church. The pasotr mentioned Thea Bowman but didn't explain who she is. Can you tell me? Cheri

Dear Cheri,

Born Bertha Bowman in Yazoo City, Mississippi, in 1937, Thea Bowman was the only child of Mary Esther, a teacher, and Theon, a doctor who left a promising career in New York to serve African Americans being denied medical care in Mississippi.

Bertha attended a school run by the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. At age nine she converted to Catholicicsm and at age fifteen joined the Franciscan sisters. She took the name Thea in honor of her father.

Sister Thea became a college professor and a founding faculty member of the Institute for Black Catholic Studies in New Orleans, where she taught black literature, religion, spirituals, and preaching. She was also a popular speaker at colleges and parishes.

In 1984 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thea vowed to "live until I die" and continued her rigorous speaking schedule. At the United States bishops' June 1989 meeting, she challenged them to continue to evangelize the black community, to promote full participation of blacks within Church leadership, and to understand the value of Catholic schools in the black community.

Sister Thea Bowman died in 1990, but her journey of enlightenment and inspiration lives on.

Maurice J. Nutt, C.Ss.R.
