Confessions also available by making an appointment with the Priest

From Fr. Joe On this 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (in cycle C) we hear two different accounts of hospitality. In the first reading (Genesis 18:1-10), Abraham, as a result of his hospitality, is told that he will finally have a son. In the Gospel (Luke 10:38-42), Martha seems to get a rebuke from Jesus for her hospitality. What’s going on here?

It is pretty easy to sympathize with Martha, after all, it sure seems as if her sister Mary is getting away with something – and maybe even being a little lazy – leaving Martha to do all the work. Have you ever wondered if Jesus’ response would have been different if there had been no food prepared and served by Martha? What if BOTH Martha and Mary just sat at Jesus’ feet to listen to him? Was Jesus taking Martha for granted? We could go on with these kinds of questions, but maybe we would do better to look at what these two readings tell us about hospitality and what that has to do with our relationship with God.

Hospitality is so much more than just making sure that all the details of food and entertainment are taken care of. True hospitality occurs when it makes possible a personal encounter with those you are being hospitable to. It genuinely welcomes the other and surrenders to their needs, and sets up the possibility of hearing their message.

In the reading from Genesis, Abraham is very busy with details, but this occurs after he has already engaged the visitors, and he continues to be with them and listen to them during their stay.

In the Gospel, Martha is “anxious and worried” and gets so wrapped up in the tasks that she loses sight of her guest – she doesn’t take time to listen to him. Have you ever been to a party where the host or hostess is so busy with the details that they don’t take the time to visit with their guests? With such preoccupation with the details, the focus seems to be more on themselves than on their guests. Now Jesus doesn’t refuse Martha’s brand of hospitality, nor does he ask her to forget about the serving and come listen to him. He knows that preparing and serving are important too. He simply says that Mary has chosen the “better part”. What is this “better part”? As important as certain aspects of hospitality may be, the “better part” is to listen and surrender to the presence of the Lord.

What does this have to do with OUR everyday lives? Maybe we aren’t busy with details of a party, but what about those things that take away time from our families – those closest to us? Are we so busy with work, with sports, with our recreation, with watching TV, searching the internet, talking to

others on our cell phones, that we don’t spend time with or give our attention to each other? Do we make and take the time to encounter our own families? Our spouse? Our children? Our parents?

And what about making possible an encounter with God? Family responsibilities, work responsibili-ties, hospitality responsibilities: all of these are important and good. That’s what makes them such easy temptations to distract us. However, none of these is more important than the “better part” of spending time with Jesus and listening to his word, and being fed with His Body and Blood.

You may occasionally hear someone say, “Why do I have to go to church? Can’t I worship God by myself, and anywhere, like out in nature?” (Maybe you’ve even said that yourself.) And you know what? They are right about being able to worship God anywhere, but then ask them – or yourself – “When was the last time you actually did that?” And, why does it have to be either/or? Why not do both? Even Jesus – the Son of God – did both. Yes, he prayed alone in out-of-the-way places (see Luke 5:16), but he also prayed with his fellow Jews at the prescribed times either at the temple in Jerusalem, or at synagogues (see Luke 4:16) – and that was every week! Christianity is a social religion; it has never been just a “me and God” thing.

What about having to meet in a church? We all have our “sacred places”. Think of your own families. Where do you celebrate family get-togethers, e.g. Thanksgiving or Christmas? For most of us it’s at someone’s home, but wherever that place is, it has become a special place – you might even say a sacred place – for gathering. It’s no different for our faith community – we gather to worship together and to share the Eucharistic meal together as a parish in THIS sacred place.

The section of the Gospel we heard today comes immediately after the Good Samaritan parable that we heard last weekend – where taking action – doing practical love – was highlighted. In this Sunday’s account of Martha and Mary we get the message that hearing and listening to and contemplating the words of Jesus are also important. Action and contemplation need to be integrated – both are part of the life of a Christian.

Today, too many of us feel we need to always be “doing” something in order to feel useful or productive. We multi-task and pack in as many activities that we can fit into our days. Once again, many of these are good things to do, but do we also schedule in “down time” – “contemplation time” – “prayer time”?

(continued on Page 6)

Stewardship in Our Readings Today’s readings speak of hospitality. Abraham, who cheerfully did for his

guests all that hospitality required, was rewarded with a son. Martha also

busied herself with the details of hospitality, but not without complaint.

Are you a cheerful giver or do you complain as you give?

LARCC Prayer Intention We join our brothers and sisters in the LARCC community

(Lutheran, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Congregational)

in praying for this weekend’s intention:

St. Paul Lutheran:

Administrative Ministries

*Who are the Sisters of Our Mother of Divine Grace

that will be visiting our parish to lead Vacation Bible School July 22-25?

“An emerging community of consecrated life established May 2010,

they endeavor to work for the fulfillment of the prayer of Jesus

on the night before He suffered: ‘that they may be one’ and

‘For their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be

consecrated in truth.’ Through their vows, the Sisters reflect more fully this

‘consecration in truth’ which Christ accomplished by his

Death and Resurrection. Together with Mary,

Mother of Divine Grace, they seek to be sharers in His death,

for the sake of others, which brought forth fruits of grace to a new life.

St. Mary's convent is located in Port Sanilac, where the Sisters pray their presence

will inspire new hope to others, both Christian and non-Christian,

as they seek to share the joy of serving God and

giving witness to the light and love of Christ.”

United Way Ecumenical Back to School Toiletry Drive

The United Way Gear Up program is aiming to provide adolescent students from low income families with free back-to-school

clothes, supplies and personal toiletries. Without our help, they return each fall unprepared to learn . . . It’s the reason why so

many teachers turn to their personal funds to help. Churches in Alcona, Alpena and Montmorency counties are joining to

help us send students back to school with confidence. No contribution is too small. Items can include: toothpaste, tooth-

brushes, deodorant for men and women, sanitary products, full size bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner, razors

and shaving cream—just to name a few. Drop-off sites are listed below:

From Fr. Joe—Continued (Continued from page 3)

When we gather together for Mass we are given such wonderful opportunities and possibili-ties of encountering our God. We encounter Jesus in the very assembly gathered for Mass. (It’s not like Jesus is hiding somewhere as ONE of us, leaving us to wonder “which one is he?” No, it is the assembly itself – you and me – which is the mystical Body of Christ). We encounter our God in the Word – the Scriptures – we hear proclaimed. We encounter Jesus in the person of the priest as the presider of the sacrificial offering. And in a most special way, we encounter God in the Eucharist – the Body and Blood of Christ – which we eat and drink, and then, through the miracu-lous functioning of our bodies, is digested and travels through our bloodstream to nourish all of our cells. Imagine that – the Eucharist becoming part of your fingertips, your toes, your brain, your heart! Jesus becomes enfleshed again through us! How dare we ever leave Mass and treat one another unkindly or with disrespect.

There are 168 hours in a week. 168 hours to take care of all the important things in our lives. At least each weekend, let’s not forget to take just one of those hours and, like Mary in today’s Gospel, choose the “better part” – that of gathering, listening to, and encountering Jesus.

Have a blessed 168 hours, Emergency Preparedness Plan

Safety Committee is seeking volunteers to assist with developing an

emergency preparedness plan for All Saints Parish.

Volunteers are needed with expertise in: law enforcement, fire service,

Parish Vision All Saints Parish is a spiritual and faith-filled family,

embraced by God’s love. We are centered on the

Holy Eucharist, inspired by the Communion of Saints

and empowered by the Holy Spirit to enliven and

ignite a community bound by love. We are united in

vibrant service under the leadership of the Trinity.

Parish Mission We, the members of All Saints Parish are called as a

sacramental people to grow in our faith and

participate fully in the one Body of Christ, centered in

the Eucharist. We value each other’s gifts and talents

as we serve the needs of our community while living

the truth and love of the Gospel.

Need a Ride to Mass?

Our parish partners

with Thunder Bay Transportation Authority to

provide a ride for those who are in need.

Those who need a ride will need to call TBTA

(ph: 989-356-4596) two hours before you would

like to be picked up to schedule your ride. If

you wish to have it charged, you must tell TBTA

dispatcher you are charging it to All Saints

Parish (we will not be doing reimbursements as

we would have no proof of a ride).

The parish will cover the ride only to/from

Church for the 4 PM Saturday Mass and the

11 AM Sunday Mass (based on the hours of

operation for TBTA).
