C.D. of the Week: RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW: ALWAYS BE READY TO SHARE YOUR FAITH
BY PATRICK MADRID It’s profound to consider what hangs in the balance when we share our faith with others. Patrick
Madrid, in his highly engaging manner, speaks from a lifetime of experience to help Catholics effectively
share the truth about Christ and His Church whenever the opportunity arises.
BOOK OF THE MONTH: MERCY AND HOPE By: Mike Pacer We need hope in our world. Flowing forth from the Heart of Jesus is a torrent of mercy that is the source of this much
needed hope. Discover how in God’s mercy we find reason for joy here on earth & a reasonable expectation for eternal joy in
Heaven. Mike’s engaging & straightforward approach sheds light on the
following- The merciful & loving God revealed in the Old Testament-Jesus Christ as the source of mercy & reason for
hope-The hope imparted through the message of Divine Mercy given to St. Faustina-Mary’s role as the Mother of
Mercy & Hope. Mike provides practical suggestions on how we can live more joyful lives through being
merciful to others & receiving mercy ourselves.

These six women just finished teaching our
2-week Summer Sacrament class in Religious Education. They are smart,
relentlessly devoted to their students and e xceptional teachers. We are grateful to all of our amazing teachers and grateful
for all the time and heart you give to Religious Education.
These Religious Education students just made their
First Holy Communion on Saturday, August 6th. Great job everyone! Thank you to parents, teachers, staff &
volunteers who helped make this happen.
MERCY FROM A HEART OF STONE TO A HEART OF FLESH BY CAROLYN Y. WOO As the Year of Mercy begins on the Feast of the Immaculate Concep on (December 8th), I turn our a en on to a popu-lar parable: the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). Its graphic depic on of the younger son's profligate behavior, the depth of his misery groveling for scraps among pigs and the father's magnanimous welcome with rings, robe, sandals and feast leave li le unsaid about the father's boundless mercy. However, the character who intrigues me is the older brother. In truth, I am too cau ous to adopt the wayward choice of the younger son. I could easily channel the worries of the older brother: half of the family property is gone but just as many people to care for; in modern day, the situa on would likely involve just as much debt on half the assets. He may fret about his father's health and wish to spare his father these burdens. Not only do I feel this way some mes, I actually know people in similar situa ons: the sibling who sacrifices all to care for an elderly parent only to find out that all children received equal amounts from the estate; the sibling who assumes responsibility for the family business when some siblings just want a share of the profits; a sibling who lives a "carefree" life only to reappear when op ons run dry. Isn't resentment their due? In poli cal discourses, we encounter similar sen ments. To those who have made it the responsible way: working diligently, staying clear of trouble, paying taxes, why should the poor receive assistance? Undocumented immigrants and refugees partake in the benefits of our society? The working poor get a living wage? Addicts get another chance? Alarmingly, in these sen ments, I recognize quali es that frighten me. You see, I dread becoming small, hard and joyless. The older brother describes his work, which hope-fully once emanated from love of family, as "orders" from his father which he now "obeys" rather than em-braces, and the person returning as "your son" rather than "my brother" thus losing any sense of bond and kin. He values his work in the light of compensa on and compe -
on rela ve to his brother and calibrates his father's love with things and feasts. His judgement leaves no space in the heart to comprehend how the brother has suffered and what his father has lost. His righteousness robs him of the capacity to celebrate. The older brother is the message Jesus directs at the Pharisees, whose disapproval of his dining with sinners precedes this and two other parables of mercy. It is a message for us, too, when our love turns to obliga ons, fa gue crowns itself in martyrdom, prudence gives rise to harsh judgement and success breeds contempt. The good news is that the father reaches out also for this son, reminding him that he has always been loved and that love for one son is not diminished by love for the other. The older son is invited to join in and be glad, essen ally to turn a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. He and we are also the lost sons whom the father rejoices when found. Such framing is not easy, but this is why we need a special year to note that gra tude and resentment cannot co-exist; that in condemna on, we overstep our bounds and lose our own humanity; and that, as Pope Francis notes in the opening sentence of the document that declared the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, "Jesus Christ is the face of the Father's mercy." "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." (Ma hew 5:7)
