Lift Up Your Hearts!

P eople in our society today often talk about being a “basically good person.” When we start thinking about what we should do or how we should act in specific situations, we might measure ourselves against this vague idea of the “basically good person”. We might even hide behind the idea of being a “good person” when we don’t want to do the right thing in the moment. We might think to ourselves, “Well, I have-n’t killed anyone or stolen any-thing.” This flawed vision of the moral life translates into how we live as Christians. We think that God simply wants us to be a “good person,” and relativize our sins, comparing them to our good ac-tions. Nevertheless, this is not the message of the Gospel . Ra-ther, through Christ’s Death and Resurrection, we have the grace to be completely transformed from the old man, the man living in sin, to the new man, the man who lives entirely in Christ (Ephesians 4:22-24). God wants us to give him our whole lives, meaning that we also desire to live in complete unity with him. We can do good acts but still keep our hearts far from him. If we give our hearts entire-ly to him, however, the power of Jesus’s Resurrection can trans-form us so that we become more like him. Our actions will then flow seamlessly from our hearts, because we have been trans-formed to live like Christ.

Deuteronomy4:1−2,6−8Moses addresses the people just before their entry into the Prom-ised Land. After recounting much of their relationship with God, he now encourages them by calling them to obey the covenant laws that will follow this speech. He begins, “Hear the statutes and

ordinances I am teaching you to observe” (Deuteronomy 4:1). The Hebrew word for “hear” can also be translated to “obey.” But why obey? Moses’s answer is clear: “that you may live.” The Law of God leads to life—a life of bless-ing in the Promised Land. In the middle portion of this speech (omitted), Moses commends the people for remaining true to the Lord during the time in which many of their fellow Israelites worshipped the false god, Baal of Peor (see Numbers 25). In order to keep their track record of i-delity, the people must continue to obey the Lord. If they do they will show their wisdom and in-telligence before the peoples of the world (see v. 6). Moses then

cites the incomparability of Is-rael’s status and Law before God versus the other nations and their laws. From this passage, several lessons arise for us. First, the laws of God, the rules we must follow as Christians, are not mere arbitrary prescriptions, but they are for our good, for our very life. Second, when we obey the Lord, we show ourselves to be living in accord with the truth—by God-given knowledge, not by the ignorance of the world. Lastly, when we live like Christ, other people will take no-tice and recognize the wisdom of living according to the Gospel. Thus we can give witness to its truth by living it out. James1:17−18,21b−22,27 Have you ever looked into the mirror and not liked what you saw? Sometimes, despite the best of intentions, we ind ourselves doing things that we did not in-tend or want. Our aspirations do not always become embodied in our behavior. We can feel divided within, at war with ourselves. This inner con lict is distressing because it reveals our lack of self-mastery, our inability to truly control our own actions. We ind ourselves driven by desire rather than by the rational decisions of our mind. St. James here helps us look within. He calls us to be “doers of the word and not hear-ers only, deluding yourselves (1:22). When we lack consistency between our interior motives and our external actions, we are delusional—like claiming to be

on a diet while eating piles of do-nuts. Our actions, not just our thoughts, matter. As the saying goes, “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” James seems to support this sentiment when he tells us that if a man fails to exercise control over his speech then “his religion is vain” (v. 26). In fact, James de-ines religion as caring for wid-ows and orphans while maintain-ing a morally upright life (see v. 27). Getting our actions to line up with our best intentions is the hardest part of the art of Chris-tian living, which is why we need the grace of the Holy Spirit to help us overcome our weakness. With his assistance, we can live in vic-tory and really become “doers of the word.” Mark7:1−8,14−15,21−23 The Gospel reading for today beautifully brings together the lessons of the irst two readings—both Moses’s exhortation to obey the Law and James’s call to genu-ine moral uprightness. The story unfolds as a controversy. The Pharisees challenge Jesus over

the behavior of his disciples who are not following all of the ritual purity rules scrupulously. In spe-ci ic, they are not washing their hands before eating. Yet Jesus does not condescend to even dis-cuss handwashing at all. Instead, he sees through the Pharisees’ smoke screen—the issue isn’t re-ally the issue—and challenges them in return. He accuses them of hypocrisy and stings them with an appropriate quote from Isaiah. When the charge sticks, that these Pharisees’ interior spiritual atti-tudes do not line up with their showy external observances, Je-sus makes a larger point. Essen-tially, he teaches the inner moral purpose of the ritual purity laws of the Old Covenant, while re-scinding these laws for New Cove-nant believers: “Nothing that en-ters one from outside can de ile that person; but the things that come out from within are what de ile” (Mark 7:15). For Jesus, our moral status is not about what foods we eat, but about how we behave, how we act. It is possible that we could observe all kinds of trivial religious rules yet be living in grave sin in far more important matters. Jesus rattles off a list of

serious sins, “evil thoughts, un-chastity, theft, murder” and so on (vv. 21–22). These sins, he argues, come from within our hearts and they are what make us impure before God. To be truly holy, we must change both our behavior and our thoughts. Visit StMichael.FORMED.org, click on the “Community” tab and watch the OpeningtheWordvid-eo.

R eturn to the Gospel for today. We can relate to the Pharisees, who are focused on the motions and actions of their lives that they have forgotten what it truly means to love God. Their worship and good actions are in vain because they refuse to give their hearts to the Lord. They have kept themselves ritually clean on the surface, but sin has been allowed to grow and fester in their hearts in secret. The same happens to us when we do not give our hearts to God. Jesus calls everyone to repentance, such that we give our whole lives to God. ResolutionThe Gospel demands more of us than simply going through the mo-tions—the true Gospel calls us to give our whole being to Christ. He asks us to share in his own life, to lift up our hearts to him and allow him to transform us. If we are truly living as Christians, we are not merely basically good people. Rather, we are sinners who put them-selves in the hands of a loving Father who is preparing us for heaven. Sadly, many Catholics go through their whole lives attending Church without hearing this Good News. This week, how can you start to purge your life of the lies of the world and live in the reality of the Gospel? How can you lift up your heart to the Lord and give him per-mission to transform you? RememberinPrayer The Boyle and Lara families offer prayers of thanksgiving for all who have expressed their prayers and condolences for their beloved son, Robert, during his illness and death. They are deeply grateful. For the repose of the souls of Jean Diane Edwards, Daniel Figueiredo and Editha Bagnas Minglana. Send your prayer requests to our parish “Prayer Warriors” at Prayers@StMichaelLivermore.com

What makes a parish great is the sharing of our diverse gifts: our time, our talents and our treasure. St. Paul wrote, "There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ. We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit.” (1 Cor 12: 12-13) Because we are formed into one body, I have always believed that teamwork, collaboration and con-sultation have tremendous power

in building a vibrant community. Even my favorite Golden State Warriors are guided by their mot-to "Strength in Numbers"! Looking into the history of St Mi-chael, the principal reason this parish has existed for many years is because people have shared their gifts, ministering to one an-other. It is about people and indi-viduals who have had vision and who have set goals to unite us. Brick by brick. Stone by stone. This church is a product of God's call to unity and collaboration. People giving and sharing what they have to build the church, our school, our facilities and by doing so, also touching hearts. Today, the call is totally and obvi-ously the same. Each family, each household and each individual must come together to continue the mission for another 100 years and beyond. A month from now, we will celebrate our church’s 100

year anniversary. There are no other words worth saying other than "Thank you, Lord!" Thank you all for your ministries and love for St Michael Parish. I thank God that you have welcomed me as part of your family and communi-ty. Embark on a journey with me to write another chapter of our par-ish history. As we are grateful for all who have toiled and sacri iced 100 years ago to build our beauti-ful church, letuscometogetheranduseourtime,talentandtreasuretocontinuethelegacyofStMichaelParish... to celebrate the sacraments, grow disciples and bring Christ to people. St Michael, defend us and protect us! Fr. Carl, Pastor Pastor@StMichaelLivermore.com

PrayAugust30—September29 Fr Carl has asked that every pa-rishioner pray this prayer every day through September 29, after Mass, at home with your family, before beginning any ministry gathering or meeting: “Merciful Loving Father, creator and fount of all blessings and grac-es. We praise and glorify you for guiding and forming our parish as your family and community. You have inspired us to build our church, your abode, so we may al-

ways remember you, give you thanks and worship you. As we celebrate the 100-year anni-versary of our church, we give you thanks for showing us your mercy and your love through the count-less parishioners, clergy and reli-gious who have shared their re-sources and gifts to build our church. We thank you for all who continue their legacy of mak-ing our church a beacon of hope, peace and healing for the city of Livermore. We ask that you continue to in-spire us to celebrate the sacra-ments, grow disciples and bring

Christ to people. We ask this through our Lord, Je-sus Christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. St. Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle.... Amen.”

Lo que hace que una parroquia sea grandiosa es compartir nuestros diversos dones: nuestro tiempo, nuestros talentos y nuestro tesoro. San Pablo escribio: "Hay un solo cuerpo, pero tiene muchas partes. Pero todas sus muchas partes for-man un solo cuerpo. Es lo mismo con Cristo. Todos fuimos bautiza-dos por un solo Espıritu Santo" (1 Cor 12: 12). -13) Debido a que estamos formados en un solo cuerpo, siempre he creıdo que el trabajo en equipo, la colaboracion y la consulta tienen

un tremendo poder para construir una comunidad vibrante. ¡Incluso mis Golden State Warriors favori-tos son guiados por su lema "Strength in Numbers"! Observando la historia de San Mi-guel, la razon principal por la cual esta parroquia ha existido por mu-chos anos es porque la gente ha compartido sus dones, ayudandose unos a otros. Se trata de personas con vision, que han establecido ob-jetivos para unirse. Ladrillo por ladrillo, piedra por piedra. Esta ig-lesia, es un producto del llamado de Dios a la unidad y a la colabora-cion. Las personas dan y compart-en lo que tienen para construir la iglesia, nuestra escuela, nuestras instalaciones y, al hacerlo, tambien tocan los corazones. Hoy, la llamada es total y obvia-mente la misma. Cada familia, cada hogar y cada individuo deben unirse para continuar la mision por otros 100 anos y mas. Dentro de un mes, celebraremos el 100

aniversario de nuestra iglesia. No hay otras palabras que valga la pena decir aparte de "¡Gracias, Se-nor!" Gracias a todos por sus min-isterios y amor por la Parroquia de San Miguel. Le agradezco a Dios que me hayan recibido como parte de esta familia y comunidad. Unase en un viaje conmigo para escribir otro capıtulo de nuestra historia parroquial. Mientras agradecemos a todos los que se han esforzado y sacri icado hace 100 anos para construir nuestra hermosa iglesia, unamonos y usemos nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro para continuar el legado de la parroquia de San Miguel ... para celebrar los sacramentos, hacer discıpulos y llevar a Cristo a las personas. ¡San Miguel, de iendenos y prote-genos! P. Carl, pastor Pastor@StMichaelLivermore.com

El P. Carl ha pedido que cada feli-gres haga esta oracion todos los dıas hasta el 29 de septiembre, despues de la Misa, en el hogar con su familia, antes de comenzar cualquier reunion o reunion minis-terial: Padre amoroso, misericordioso, creador y fuente de todas las ben-diciones y gracias. Te alabamos y te glori icamos por guiar y formar nuestra parroquia como tu familia y comunidad. Nos has inspirado para construir nuestra iglesia, tu morada, para que siempre po-

damos recordarte, darte gracias y adorarte. Al celebrar el 100 aniversario de nuestra iglesia, le damos gracias por mostrarnos su misericordia y su amor a traves de innumerables feligreses, clerigos y religiosos que han compartido sus recursos y dones para construir nuestra igle-sia. Le agradecemos a todos los que continuan este legado hacien-do nuestra iglesia un faro de es-peranza, paz y curacion para la ciudad de Livermore.

Le pedi-mos que continue inspirandonos para cele-brar los sacramentos, hacer discıpulos y llevar a Cristo a las personas. Te lo pedimos por nuestro Senor, Jesucristo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espıritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos de los sig-los. San Miguel, el arcangel, de iendenos en la batalla ...
