Luke 13:22-30
As the boys grew older, they wanted to go to church on Saturday night
instead of on Sunday morning with us. So, I asked them to bring me a
bulletin to be sure they actually went to Mass. It was their “ticket stub.” Of
course, I knew it was possible that they stuck their head in the front door,
grabbed the bulletin, and took off to more interesting teenage pursuits, but I
chose to believe that they actually stayed for the entire liturgy. Oh, and I gave
them a pop quiz about the homily, too, just in case.
The disciples in today’s Gospel knew they had a first-class ticket to
heaven. In fact, they were the “few” when they asked Jesus if “only a few
people will be saved.” The Jews were positive that they were the only ones
going to heaven. Jesus, the King of Flip, says he won’t even know who they
are. Every time the disciples think they know what he’s going to say or have
him cornered, he flips it over on them and throws them off.
Just because you have a baptism certificate and a regular pew, it doesn’t
mean that you’re on the fast track to sainthood. Yeah, sure, I work for the
church and go to Mass fairly often, but I also cuss like a sailor, can gossip
with the best of them, and have a myriad of other sins you don’t want to hear
about (well, you may want to hear about them, but I’m not telling!). John
White once told me he wanted to hang onto my feet when I was sailing up to
heaven. I’m not so sure that’s where I’m headed, John. On the dark days, I
have more faith in gravity than in a merciful final judgment.
If you’re reading this because you picked it up in church, thank you for
coming to Mass in the first place, but Mass isn’t religion. You may be all
about being a lector or a Eucharistic minister, or you may be kicking yourself
because you aren’t one, but those activities won’t bump you up on the
passenger list of the Heaven Express. The Catechism of the Catholic Church
says “Religion is the context for faith. While being active members of a
church may not bring us closer to God, membership certainly helps. It pricks
our hard hearts and jabs our dull minds toward God and what he offers us.
Religion sharpens the focus so we can accept God's gifts and grow in his
presence.” Religious activities are good only because they help focus our
eyes on God.
The disciples told Jesus, “But we ate with you, and you taught in our
streets. We were right there in your presence.” But Jesus said he still didn’t
know them. The only way he could know them was if he had a relationship
with them. How about you? Will he know you? Think relationship, not
religion. That’s your ticket.

Why did Jesus
make his points
with parables?
Why did Jesus always speak
in parables? Why didn’t he
give us more clear-cut
answers?
Parables are short, relatable
stories. Their simple images or
comparisons convey a moral or
religious lesson and put us in
touch with the mystery of God and
ourselves. Thus, parables
confront the hearer or reader with
a radical choice to enter God’s
kingdom: “One must enter the
kingdom, that is, become a
disciple of Christ, in order to ‘know
the secrets of the kingdom of
heaven.’ For those who stay
‘outside,’ everything remains
enigmatic” (CCC 546).
About a third of Jesus’ recorded
teachings are in parable form.
After the Pharisees rejected Jesus
(Matthew 12:14), he immediately
changed his straightforward
preaching to parables. This
fulfilled what was spoken by the
prophet: “I will open my mouth in
parables, I will announce what has
lain hidden from the foundation [of
the world]” (Matthew 13:35; see
Psalm 78:2).
For example, the three parables of
mercy in Luke 15—the lost sheep,
lost coin, and lost son—reveal as
much about God as they do about
us. As John Shea writes in Stories
of God: “God not only loves to
hear our stories, God loves to tell
stories. And, quite simply, we are
the story God tells.” In the telling,
we ourselves are told. The timeless, universal stories
of Jesus speak to us at different stages of life and
provide multiple levels of meaning to the
openhearted. FR. BYRON MILLER, CSsR

Completed forms can be dropped off or mailed to the parish office at 210
Center Ave. or placed in the collection plate at Mass. If you would like to
become more involved in the church, there is a place on the form for you to
circle areas in which you are interested. You can also list any talents you
have that we may utilize in the parish.

Patron of Parents
whose Children who

26, and culminate the
following day with Mass at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday,
August 27, the Feast of St. Monica.

Novena To Saint Monica (Began on August 18)
Exemplary Mother of the Great Augustine,
you perseveringly pursued your wayward son not with
wild threats but with prayerful cries to heaven.
Intercede for all parents in our day
so that they may learn to draw their children to God.
Teach them how to remain close to their children,
even the prodigal sons and daughters who have sadly
gone astray.
Dear St Monica, troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart
during your lifetime. Yet you never despaired or lost
faith.
With confidence, persistence and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius
and your beloved son, Augustine. Grant us that same
fortitude, patience and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our plea
for the perseverance of all parents of children who
have fallen away from the Faith, and for those children
themselves, that God may open their hearts to His call.
And grant us the grace to accept his will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.
What is a Novena? A novena is a nine-day period
of prayer for a specific intention or as part of a
particular devotion (The Holy Infant of Prague, the
Miraculous Medal, etc.). The novena comes from
the tradition of the nine days between the
Ascension of Our Lord and the Solemn Feast of
Pentecost, during which time the Apostles
remained in the Upper Room in prayer. A novena
is a powerful prayer that the Church has
preserved in her tradition ever since.
