Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 100 Gospel MT 11:25-30

Spiritual Reflection:

Every once in a while, in the seminary, I would

receive a letter informing me that an anonymous

benefactor had stepped forward and paid my

tuition for the year. Still to this day I do not

know who this anonymous benefactor was.

There is a part of me that wishes that the

benefactor would have revealed who he or she

was to me so that I could properly thank him or

her and so I could let them know how much I

love being a priest. Today’s Gospel makes it clear

that God the Father was Jesus’ benefactor and

that Jesus was extremely grateful for all that God

had given Him. The life of Christ reveals to us

that God is our benefactor also. Every good gift

we have comes from God. Do we show God our

gratitude? Jesus informs us that God’s yoke is

easy and light which means doing things without

God will be more difficult because we are

rejecting divine assistance.

Spiritual Questions:

1. What aspect of God’s revelation is most

surprising to you?

2. What does it mean to you that God wishes

to reveal Himself to you?

3. Do you thank God for the revelations of his

love?

4. What does it mean to you that you have God

as your benefactor?

5. What do you praise God for?

Pray…. Lord, we seek to offer you reverent praise

and obtain the freedom of the sons and daughters of

God. Grant us the grace to offer you true worship

and treat our brothers and sisters with charity.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on

Wednesdays in church has been suspended until

From the Pastor notas del párroco 3

1. Coronavirus Update

The archbishop has given permission for us

to begin using our buildings for meetings

again provided that we follow the rules of

the county that we preside in. We want to

go above and beyond in regards to keeping

everyone safe due in part because of our

year-round Early Childhood Learning

Center. The following are the rules for

using indoor parish spaces for meetings:

St. Joseph Building Use (Phase II of Re-

Opening)

1. All use of parish facilities must be

approved by the parish office. No one

may simply come up, find a room, and

use it.

2. All groups must take attendance,

including names and phone numbers of

everyone attending the meeting for

contact tracing if needed. Groups should

place attendance sheets in the parish

office door slot before leaving the

grounds.

3. People using parish facilities must be

mindful and keep the six-foot social

distancing requirement recommended by

health officials.

* Each meeting space will be equipped

with a six-foot piece of PVC pipe

labeled “social distance” to assist in

arranging rooms.

* Anyone caught not maintaining the

six-foot social distancing regulation by

a staff member may be asked to end

their meeting and leave the parish

grounds immediately.

* There will be a door-hanger on each

door or on a clip outside each room or

meeting space. One side will say

something like “Go” which means the

room is ready to be used and the other

side will stay “Stop” meaning that area

has not been disinfected yet.

4. Current guidelines call for 50%

occupancy of spaces and the necessity of

maintaining six-foot distancing

protocols.

5. Masks are required to enter a parish

building within the Archdiocese of St.

Louis. While the archdiocese still

strongly recommends the use of masks

throughout events, mask-wearing, once

inside, will remain optional as long as six

-foot distancing remains in place.

6. There will be a bucket of cleaning

supplies in each room. Please use them to

make a preliminary sanitizing of the area

before leaving the room or space.

Someone will be by later to do a deeper

clean.

7. Please no food or drink inside our

buildings – if your group would like to

bring in some outside food please consult

Julie Quillo first in order to find out what

the current guidelines are.

2. Coronavirus Changes (Updated 6/14)

a. 4PM Mandatory Mask Mass

In an effort to accommodate as many

people as possible with many different

preferences, we have decided to make our

4PM Mass on Saturdays a Mandatory

Mask Mass, meaning that we will be

requiring everyone who comes to the

4PM Mass to keep their masks on

throughout the entire Mass. At all other

Masses, masks are optional once you reach

your pew. Please wear a mask on your way

in and out of Church.

b. Sign-Up Genius The Archdiocese and

the CDC have asked that parishes have an

online registration for each Sunday Mass to

help with contact tracing. We would

appreciate it if you would go to our parish

website, www.stjoemanchester.org, follow

the link to the sign-up genius, and sign up

for the Mass that you plan to attend. If

someone tests positive for COVID-19 and

tells the CDC that they were at “such-and-

such” Mass, we will then be able to inform

you and you can take the necessary

precautions. If you come to Mass and have

not signed up ahead of time, please check

in with an ambassador in the back of

church. Otherwise we cannot be

responsible for informing you if someone

who attended the same Mass has tested

positive.

c. Kneelers When you are in Church

(other than for Mass) we are asking you to

please leave your kneeler down when you

leave. This will allow us to know what

areas of the Church we need to clean and

sanitize again. If you come into the Church

and you find a kneeler down, please leave it

down and sit in another spot. We plan to

clean the Church on the weekdays between

9AM and 10AM and then again around

3PM - 4PM.

3. Sausage Supper

We are moving ahead with plans for our

Annual Sausage Supper. This year our

Sausage Supper will be on SATURDAY,

OCOTBER 10

th

. We are excited to have

Mr. Rich Pingleton serve as our Sausage

Supper Chairman this year. We really

want to make this year’s sausage supper

stand out so we are inviting everyone to

consider attending a special meeting

August 6

th

at 7PM in the Parish Center.

Sausage Supper is a great way for us to

build community.

4. Annual Catholic Appeal

The archdiocese has decided to go ahead

with this year’s Annual Catholic Appeal.

When I first heard about this decision I

was really angry so I called the director of

the Annual Catholic Appeal. As we talked,

he explained to me that the Annual

Catholic Appeal is needed now more than

ever because the Annual Catholic Appeal is

what allows the Archdiocese to fund so

many charitable outreaches. The Annual

Catholic Appeal helps fund the Respect

Life Apostolate which in turn helps fund

Post Abortive Healing Ministries such as

Project Rachel, Project Joseph, and

Rachel’s Vineyard as well as pregnancy

resource centers. The Annual Catholic

Appeal helps fund the Rural Parish

Workers whom we team up with at

Christmas to assist the town of Fertile,

MO. Another area that the Annual

Catholic Appeal assists with is the caring

for retired priests. I encourage you to

consider making a donation to the Annual

Catholic Appeal today from your heart.

5. Lily and Hammer Club

Participation in the Lily and Hammer Club

has helped us tackle the big issues of

replacing our church’s heating and air-

conditioning unit, renovating our Early

Childhood Learning Center, and other

smaller needed repairs. On behalf of your

fellow parishioners, I ask you to please

consider joining the Lily and Hammer Club

for the 2020-2021 year. Remember that

membership in the club is limited to four

hundred people and only costs $100. Our

monthly raffles will begin on the third

Sunday of July. To join the Lily and

Hammer Club, go to our website, click

ONLINE GIVING and scroll down to the

Lily and Hammer Club. As I write this

note, I am keenly aware that not everyone

who may desire to participate will be able

to this year because of contributions to the

Legacy Wall and the effects of the

Coronavirus. While it would be nice to sell

all four hundred spots, we would be

ecstatic to sell at least one hundred spots.

This would allow us to cover the Lily and

Hammer prize money and to continue

ongoing maintenance and repair projects.

Thank you for your generous support of St.

Joseph Parish. Know that your donation

will be a big help in allowing St. Joseph

Parish continue the amazing work it does.

For months the covid-19 virus has

dramatically altered everyday

living. Our St. Louis council

continues to recommend

suspended ‘in-person home visits’

to our neighbors in need. This

policy will likely stay in effect

through August. However, we are

still making phone calls and

‘virtual visits’. We are helping our

neighbors pay housing, utility and

many other bills. If you or

someone you know needs help

with food or financial assistance

please call our St. Vincent de Paul

calls are confidential. We pray for

God’s loving grace and

protection.

Spiritual Ponderings

Faith & Film

Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Synopsis: The movie begins informing us that the evil Emperor Palpatine has somehow survived

the explosion of the second Death Star. Kylo Ren strikes a deal with the Emperor. The Emperor

will give Kylo Ren an incredible armada of Star Destroyer ships and in return Kylo Ren must kill

the heroine of the saga Rey. Rey and her rebel friends must find a Sith wayfinder and use it to

find the planet of Exegol. Exegol is the place where the fleet of Star Destroyers are docked and

where the Emperor is. After finding the wayfinder Rey confronts the Emperor with the help of a

newly converted Kylo Ren. Spoiler alert, the good guys win when Rey uses the emperor’s own

Force Energy back on him killing him. The other heroes are able to destroy the enemy fleet and

save the universe.

st

Spiritual Insight:

The major plot twist in the movie reveals that Rey, the heroine, was actually the granddaughter

of the evil emperor. Upon discovering this, Rey feels that she is destined to turn evil and harm

all of her friends. As I watched the movie and saw Rey come to understand that her family of

origin did not control her future, I began to think about how many problems in life extend from

the fact that we all come from imperfect families. It also made me think of how proud I am of

my brothers and sisters. We grew up in a house where my dad was known for losing his temper

but I have never heard my brothers and sisters raise their voice to their kids. They are not

allowing how they grew up shape who they are now. For most of us there are good qualities

that we received from our family of origin and we should do everything we can to nurture them

and pass them onto the next generation. For me, I think of how loving, caring, and forgiving my

mother is and I desire to imitate her in those things. We cannot choose our families but we can

choose how they shape us. I think the turning point for Rey was when she discovered that Leia

was willing to train her to be a Jedi despite knowing who Rey’s grandfather was.

nd

Spiritual Insight:

Kylo Ren did the unthinkable in Star Wars XVI: The Force Awakens when he killed his father

Han Solo. In this movie, he turns away from the dark side and embraces the side of good. This

spiritual story is all about exploring the idea of how far one must go to be unredeemable. We

believe that God is always willing to forgive us if we are willing to ask. Catholics stand firmly

opposed to the idea of predestination. Predestination is the idea that God, upon creating you,

destined you to go to heaven or hell. We just live out the drama. As Catholics we believe that

we have a choice in this life by choosing to live the virtues of the kingdom of heaven now. Our

actions and beliefs do have eternal weight. The more sins we commit the more we will end up in

hell. In the last chapter of Mathew’s Gospel, we see how the sheep and goats ae separated by

what they did or not do in this life.

3

rd

Spiritual Insight:

During a pivotal moment of the movie, Poe Dameron, the leader of the Resistance, inspires his

rebels by declaring: “First Order wins by making people think they are alone. We are not alone.”

When I heard this quote I remembered what an older priest whom I respected greatly told me.

He said, “The Devil only has two lies. The first is that you are alone and the second is that you

are not good enough.” He went on to explain that they are lies because Jesus is Emmanuel, “God

with us” and with God all things are possible. I do think Poe’s insight is correct in that evil tries

to convince us that we are the only ones who are striving to do the good or that the task that

God wants us to do is just not humanly possible. God, though, will not abandon us and has

already defeated our greatest enemy – sin and death. I believe this also speaks to why Catholics

believe that Church is so important and why the Mass is an obligation for us. We remind

ourselves that we are part of God’s family at Mass and that He has conquered our greatest

enemies.

4

th

Spiritual Insight:

There is one insight in the movie I would not have known if I had not read an article on “hidden

Easter eggs” in the movie. The author pointed out that, at the end of the movie, Rey is the first

character to watch a sunrise and that symbolizes the new beginning she now has. In watching

the “Son rise,” the apostles and disciples had a new start also. This same new start is offered to

us every time we acknowledge the “Son rise.” Even more striking is that there are two suns on

the planet Tatooine and the Son of God rises twice at Mass, once when the priest elevates the

host and then again when he elevates the precious blood.

As the universal Church begins a transition back to the celebration of public liturgies, many are still mindful of the need to practice

social distancing and have expressed concerns about using worship aids that have been handled by others. Aware of these concerns,

some dioceses are eliminating printed missalettes and encouraging parishioners to download digital editions or to carry a personal

worship aid. In response, MAGNIFICAT is offering special $5 subscriptions to enable the faithful to follow the liturgy with

personal copies of either a printed or digital edition of MAGNIFICAT. Details at www.magnificat.com/free.

A few items to note: All the faithful are dispensed from

the obligation of the Easter Duty and the obligation to

attend Mass on Sunday through June 30, 2020. The

faithful are obliged to wear a mask (or other face covering)

upon entering the church and during the celebration of

Mass, except while seated in the pew and for the brief

moment of receiving Holy Communion. Attendees will be

counted as they enter and attendance may be limited to

assure compliance with social distancing requirements. All

hymnals and missalettes have been removed from the

pews and stored for the duration of the pandemic. No

song sheets or other worship aids will be distributed. The

faithful are encouraged to bring their own missals or

hymnals for use during the celebration of Mass. Restroom

facilities are reserved for emergency use only. Please use

the restroom at home before arriving at the church. The

Sunday Mass recorded at St. Joseph is available on the

parish website. Daily Masses (Monday through Saturday)

from Bishop Barron’s private chapel are also available on

the parish website.

Mass Sign Up

As a preventative measure, we are

asking you to sign up for the Mass

you plan on attending each weekend.

This sign up is not for counting purpose but rather

for tracing purposes should we need to get in

touch with you in the event of a health situation.

To sign up please visit the parish website,

www.stjoemanchester.org and scroll down until

you see the picture shown below...click the picture

and you will be taken to the sign up genius page.

Your cooperation in this effort is greatly

appreciated. Please make every effort to sign up

online or check in with an ambassador when you

enter the church for Mass. Thank you.
