Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 2, 2016
Recently, we turned in our yearly report to the Archdiocese. It is
called by its Latin name, “Status Animarum,” or the “State of the
Souls” in St. Peter Parish. It records how our financial picture is,
our census of parishioners, and the number of people who
received the Sacraments the past year. One of the statistics
jumped off the page at me. We reported to the Archbishop
Carlson that St. Peter had 116 baptisms last year. That is up from
the year before and shows just how young our parish is becoming
and so many young families moving here and making Kirkwood
and St. Peter their home. So I decided to write to you about
baptism and its symbols.
The Signs of Baptism…Water
It was spring in our Midwestern world. The hope-for rains came,
softening the earth, preparing it to receive the seed that would
provide food for a nation. The rains went, the seed was planted.
The earth burst forth, green with life. And the rains never
returned. Crops died. The earth cracked. Farmers went broke. It
was 1934, the Great Depression, and now the dust bowl era began
blowing away rich topsoil and leaving a nation hungry. No water.
No rain. Thirsty soil.
Another spring…1993. The hoped-for rains finally came. The
drought was broken at last. The earth became soft again, healed
of its fractures. But the rains never left. Streams overran their
banks, rivers burst through levees. The Chesterfield Valley filled
with the waters of the Missouri River…the Monarch Levee was
breached. We should know by now that the Missouri and the
Mississippi Rivers cannot be walled in. They are too seasoned
and too powerful and too overwhelming to be told what to do.
Cars and cattle were washed away. Homes and fields and entire
neighborhoods were flooded. Snakes and animal life, man and
beast sought higher ground. When the water subsided, everything
was covered with a thick layer of mud…and the smell was
horrendous.
The spring of 2016, the gentle rains came and went. The earth,
wearing a new coat of fertile soil and holding reserves of water
deep beneath its surface, brought forth a great bounty.
The waters of baptism, like the Midwest’s rains and rivers, cannot
be tamed and controlled. They bring both life and death,
destruction and growth, fertility and barrenness. And always they
show the power of God.
Springs of water, bless the Lord.
Candle…Another Sign of Baptism
I remember back in 1990 when I was the pastor of Holy Cross
Church in Baden, North St. Louis and we were preparing to
celebrate the Great Easter Vigil in a couple of weeks. I was
lamenting the fact that living in the midst of the City it was
challenging to have a large Easter Fire. With all the city lights
and streetlights our courtyard was just too bright. You just have
to have darkness and the night to celebrate an Easter Vigil. I was
sharing my anxiety with the folks in our RCIA.
On Holy Saturday night before the Vigil began I was invited to
the convent for supper. I looked forward to it. We had rehearsed
all morning and into the afternoon for the Vigil. All was in
readiness for this venerable and holiest liturgy of the year. As
was sat down for dinner the doorbell rang and Sister Mary Grace
went to the door. After a few minutes she returned to say that one
of the RCIA catechumens was at the door and needed to speak to
me. I went to the door and asked Richard what he needed. He
proudly informed me that I need not worry about our Easter Fire
for the Vigil. We would have plenty of darkness now. I asked
why and what was he talking about. He excitedly informed me
that he heard my plight with the City lights and too much light for
the Vigil liturgy so he got his gun and shot out all the streetlights
on Church Road in front of the church and school. Yikes! I
oversold the need for darkness!!!! Did anyone see you? Not
wanting to dampen his enthusiasm I simply said, “Oh…thanks,
Richard, why don’t you go home now and put your gun away and
get ready for the Vigil…and let’s just keep this between you and
me.” Oh boy! I need to change my catechesis on the fire at the
Vigil. He was correct it was dark in the courtyard for the Easter
Fire that year and the fire never looked so bright or so grand. I
remember saying to the sisters afterward and laughing about the
incident that this year’s fire was a difference between night and
day from the fire the year before. The darkness made a
difference!
I thought about what I had just said and continued, “You know,
the difference between the fire last year and the fire this year is
like the difference between what life was like before Christ came
into the world, what life was like before Christ walked among us.
It was truly a difference between night and day. That’s why we
light a candle in the darkness, to remind us that Christ is our light.
We will never be the same.
Light of Christ. Thanks be to God.
Stewardship Financial Fact…
Did you know...St. Peter Parish spends on average
approximately $2,049,456 annually ($170,788 per month) on
faculty and school staff salaries to provide a quality and
Catholic education to the 468 students of our St. Peter School
and 366 PSR students?
Finally, cool weather and the feeling of Fall. Enjoy it, folks!
It is October, one of our best months in Missouri. Take a
Sunday drive to Highway 94 in St. Charles and visit some of
the wineries in Augusta and Defiance or our Highway 100 to
Hermann, Missouri to the Stone Hill Winery. Or go to
Eckert’s Orchards in Belleville and pick some apples. Or
check out a church sausage supper in Franklin County. Its
autumn…get out and enjoy the landscape, the foods and
sights and sounds of this season. And…I’ll see you in church!

TREASURE REPORT AT-A-GLANCE “My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise
received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between
us and you a great chasm is established...).” Luke 16:25-26
When God created the world He declared that it was good and He gave it to all mankind for us to
enjoy. However, over the years we have created a chasm between those who have great gifts and those
who do not. In today’s Gospel we see that with our own generosity we must bridge that gap between
those who have much and those who have little or we may find ourselves on the wrong side of the
chasm in the next life.

how we are called upon as followers of Christ to help those in
need. With your support, the Society of St. Vincent dePaul re-
sponds to our neighbors reaching out to us for help. We provide
utility assistance, food, rent help, clothing, household necessities,
car repairs and prescription drug help. In addition we go into the
homes of those we serve to pray, identify other needs and offer
support.
Please continue to support the Society of St. Vincent dePaul by
using the offering envelopes mailed to your homes or the collec-
tion boxes at each church door exit. Also, please consider contri-
butions to St. Vincent dePaul in the loving memory of a family
member or friend.
If you know of someone that needs help, please have them call
(314) 289 6101 ext. 2220.
