Who can comprehend the Lord’s ways or
conceive what the Lord intends?
True wisdom leads us to acknowledge our
limitations (a matter of “calculation”)
and our idols of materialism as we seek to
follow the Lord without reservation.
True discipleship calls us to forgive those
who have wronged us. May we gain the
wisdom of heart to discern more fully our
call to take up the cross of Jesus.

Don't Forget to Turn in Your Commitment Card! Our
Stewardship Renewal Campaign is still in progress. If you
haven't returned your Commitment Card, please do so by
either return mail or drop it in the basket marked "Commitment Cards" in the vestibule. If
you prefer, you may also print your own by visiting our website, www.holytrinityptc.org
or come by the parish office and request a new card. Returning your commitment card is
an important part of being an active member of Holy Trinity. Please take this opportunity
to express your support for our parish with your time, talent, and treasure!
Of all the challenges Jesus presents to us in the gospels, today’s
challenge in Luke 14:25-33 probably is the most confronting
because it is very personal and is addressed to each of us individu-
ally. Jesus tells his disciples, the crowds following him and us, “If
anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and
children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be
my disciple.” And, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and
come after me cannot be my disciple.” To top it off we all are told,
“anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot
be my disciple.” We could rightly ask, what happened to the
gospel of love? Jesus tells us to love everyone and then he makes
a one hundred eighty degree turn and tells us to hate everyone!
I don’t think this is what Jesus is saying.
This is one of those readings that needs a little perspective. First,
we should remember the two great Commandments. The first great
commandment is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-5: “Hear, O Israel!
The LORD is our God, the LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love
the LORD, your God, with your whole heart, and with your whole
being, and with your whole strength.” The second great command-
ment from Leviticus 19:18 is, “You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.” There is no reference to hate in either of these state-
ments.
St. Matthew’s version of the same New Testament story (Matthew
10:37-39) probably is more idiomatically correct, “Whoever loves
father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever
loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and who-
ever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of
me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life
for my sake will find it.” This isn’t about hating our families it is
about loving God first and foremost. Then everything falls into
place. As followers of Christ, we are called to follow him intre-
pidly. St. Paul tells us in 2 Cor 5:14-15, “For the love of Christ
impels us, once we have come to the conviction that one died for
all; therefore, all have died. He indeed died for all, so that those
who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for
their sake died and was raised.”
God our Father,
we have accepted your invitation
to follow your Son Jesus as his disciples.
Let your Spirit give us the wisdom and strength
to take our faith seriously
and to accept our task in life
with all its consequences.
Let the Spirit help us to go your Son’s way
without fear or discouragement,
for we are certain Jesus will lead us to you,
our loving God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Holy Trinity welcomes our newest parishioners!

The Seniors Ministry. On Thursday, Septem-
ber 12, we are honored to have Deacon Ben give
us a presentation and show a DVD on our Lady of
Good Help. This is a great presentation and I know
you will enjoy it so much. No sign up; just come.
We will begin the event in Loreto Hall at 12pm
with a spaghetti and salad lunch. A $5 donation
would be accepted.
Healing Masses: September 10, 6:30pm
and Friday, September 13, 12pm.
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be
available during this Mass for every baptized Catholic
over the age of reason. Prayer teams will also be avail-
able immediately after Mass to pray with people for healing and
other needs.
Anointing of the sick primarily is for spiritual healing. Physical healing
might occur, but it is not the main purpose of the sacrament. Certainly the
sacrament should not be expected to automatically cure the sick person.
Such an expectation tends toward superstition (cf. CC2111). Baptized
children below the age of reason cannot commit personal sin and so do not
need anointing of the sick if they are in danger of death. Rather, when in
danger of death, such children can be given confirmation, for spiritual
strengthening and more fully to initiate them into the Christian religion.
Seniors Ministry Fall Col-
ors Trip. On Thursday,
October 17, join other sen-
iors for a day trip to

parking lot at 7:45am and return by 6pm. The
cost is only $49 for the ride and lunch. Place you
check, in an envelope with your name and phone
number, in the black Parish Office mailbox in
the Vestibule. Final date to sign up and pay is
Thursday September 12.

Spirituality of Imperfection
(Fr. Francis Michael & Br. Michael)
The spirituality of imperfection speaks to those who seek meaning
in the absurd, peace within the chaos, light within the darkness, and
joy within the suffering, without denying the reality and even the
necessity of absurdity, chaos, darkness, and suffering. This is not
spirituality for the saints or the gods, but for people who suffer
from what the philosopher and psychologist William James called
“torn-to-pieces-hood.” We have all known that experience. To be
human is to feel, at times, divided, fractured, and pulled in a dozen
directions, and to yearn for serenity and some healing of our “torn-
to-pieces-hood.”
September 27-29 (Weekend)
Second Half of Life Can Be the Better Half
(Martha Gross)
Midlife begs the question, "Is there more to life than this?" This
retreat will help us recognize and respond to that deep but subtle
longing, and surrender to God's loving call -- a call into ordinary
life enriched with love, meaning, and purpose. It is never too late
to discover the "more" in life!
September 30 - October 3 (Midweek)
Too Deep for Words
(Br. Elias & Jacqueline Rychlicki)
In the teachings of Jesus, there are prayers, and then prayer---a si-
lent, loving communion with God beyond the senses, words or ritu-
als. We invite retreatants to learn prayer rooted in the Gospels---
ancient, proven ways for the most part unknown in our culture. The
theme of this retreat is the gradual unfolding of the divine image
within us into likeness. Participants will become familiar with the
use of the breath and imagination in prayer, and ways to develop
interior silence and stillness. We will also present practices to deal
with afflictive thoughts and feelings, and the incessant chatter and
commentaries inside us that prevent our going deeper into God. As
a final word, this retreat longs to help participants to become more
of what they already are, living flames of kindness and compassion.

Wednesdays 6:30-8:30 PM Next Session September 11 Facilitator: Alec MacDougall
Suggested Dontation: $27/book
Unpack the Mysteries of Revelation Perhaps no book in the Bible fascinates people more than Revelation. Yet relatively few peo-ple have studied the book, especially from a Catholic perspective. This study shows how
the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the king-
dom of heaven. Presenter Jeff Cavins pulls back the veil on the rich symbolism present in
Revelation. Discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and
see how Revelation is more than an apocalyp-tic vision of the “end times.” Explore the
Church’s teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment. Understand how God, the Divine Bridegroom, and the
Church, his spotless bride, enter into a heav-enly, holy, and mystical marriage every time
we celebrate Mass.

8 week Bible Study
Romans: Sunday 4:00-6:00 PM
(Begins September 15) or
Wednesday 10:00-12:00 PM (Begins September 18)
Facilitators: Howard Gault & Elliott Marsh
St. John Vianney Room Cost: $27/book You will learn:
The Catholic teaching on salvation.
How to explain salvation to non-Christians
What is required for salva-tion—faith or works
What Paul really means by “works” not leading to salvation
How Christ’s death changed our relationship with God
The meaning of the difficult passages in Romans
How we can enter more deeply into Christ
Dr. Swafford and Cavins explain that salvation is not
merely the removal of a guilty verdict. Salvation is about
entering into Christ’s life and death and sharing in his
eternal Sonship.
That Man is You (TMIY) Fridays 6:00-7:30 AM
St. Faustina Room
That Man is You! Is an oppor-tunity for fellowship for men and formation in the Catholic Faith. It honestly addresses the pressures and tempta-tions that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive!
Knowing the true answers to these ques-tions matters! There are very important - life-changing - reasons for everything we believe and do as Catholics! In Catholic 101 you will learn about these things so that you can, grow in your relationship with Christ through His Church, and effectively help others do the same. This Series will meet 1X/month, usually 4th week of the month. Each month we will present a different topic and there will be three sessions to choose from with the same presentation each time.
TOPIC FOR SEPTEMBER:
In a world grown hostile to God, it is more important than ever to be able to defend him. In this class you will learn how to answer the common objections of Atheism with sound philosophy and common sense.
This class will meet for 2 weeks. CHOOSE FROM: (same presentation each time)
Mondays, September 23 & 30, 11:30am-2:00pm
Tuesdays, September 24 & October 1, 10:00-12:30pm
Tuesdays, September 24 & October 1, 6:30-9:00pm
Location: St. John Vianney Room
This class seeks to present the case for why belief in God is plausible and reasonable from a nonreligious perspec-tive. If you are already a believer, this class will give you some reasons why that is the case. If you are not a believer, we would like to provide important infor-mation that supports belief in God, and shows that people of faith are not irration-al fools.

Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Why do we have a special day set aside to
commission catechists?
Catechesis is a distinct and special
ministry in the Church. As the
Catechism of the Catholic Church
makes clear, “Catechesis is
intimately bound up with the whole
of the Church’s life . . . her inner
growth and correspondence with
God’s plan depend essentially on
catechesis” (no. 7).
This ministry of teaching in the name of the Church has a profound
dignity, which is why catechists are recognized by the Church.
Additionally, we invite the entire church community to think about
our responsibility to share our faith with others.
¿Por qué apartamos un día especial para comisionar los catequistas?
La catequesis es un ministerio distinto y especial en la Iglesia.
Como deja en claro el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica: "La
catequesis está unida íntimamente a toda la vida de la Iglesia... su
crecimiento interior, su correspondencia con el designio de Dios
dependen esencialmente de ella" (no. 7).
Este ministerio de enseñar en nombre de la Iglesia tiene una
profunda dignidad, y es por ello que los catequistas son
comisionados formalmente por la Iglesia. Además invitamos a toda
la comunidad de la Iglesia a pensar en nuestra responsabilidad de
compartir nuestra fe con otros.
