MISSION STATEMENT:

“Growing in Grace, Gratitude and Giving”

September 9, 2018

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Jesus went by way of Sidon into the district of the

Decapolis.” For most of Jesus’ ministry, he remains in

Galilee and areas with a predominantly Jewish population.

Today, however, we see Jesus traveling through a heavily

pagan area. This makes the utterance of faith in today’s

Gospel all the more astounding. “He has done all things

well.”

In this story, a deaf man is brought to Jesus. This man is not

without community! Despite communication difficulties

due to a speech impediment, his people bring him before

Jesus. Jesus lays hands upon the man and commands his

broken body to change. “’Be opened!’ Immediately the man’s

ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and

he spoke plainly.” The community is stunned. They can’t

stop telling the story. The more Jesus asks them to settle

down, the more they proclaim! The Jewish people expected

a Messiah but a Messiah with very particular qualification.

The Greeks and pagans anticipated no such savior. There

were no expectations to meet. They had a special capacity

to be completely, utterly surprised.

As Catholics, it can be easy to become accustomed to the

songs and the prayers, to the routine of religious education

drop-offs and Sunday Mass attendance. By now, we may

have very particular expectations. When was the last time

you allowed yourself to be surprised by God? Sometimes we

are all like the deaf man in today’s Gospel. God wants to

speak to us, but we can’t hear clearly. In your prayer this

week, go before God honestly. Give yourself permission to

drop your expectations and assumptions. Ask Him to renew

your faith to show you how, in your life, “He has done all

things well.”

Prince of Peace Altar Dedication with Bishop Arturo Cepeda

Saturday, September 15, 2018 - 4:00 p.m. Mass

Next Saturday we celebrate the dedication of our new altar. A church’s altar is usually dedicated only once, when the

church is first blessed for use, but since we have never had a permanent altar (called “fixed” in church law), only

moveable altars, it will be formally dedicated and blessed. A permanent altar is one that cannot be moved- hence

“fixed”. With all the work it took to get the altar placed and centered, I can honestly say, that 3 tons of marble is not

moving anywhere.

We can easily forget the symbolism of the church and of is various elements especially since it is always there. But on

this occasion, we remember the Altar is a sign of Christ as a well as the sign of the Church. One of the Eucharistic

prayers makes it clear that Christ is the “priest, altar and lamb”. And as we remember that “upon this rock I will

build my church” we become the living stones, gather and built into the holy people of God. St. Paul calls us to be

“imitators of Christ” and could we say that we, solidly built of Christ, the Word of God and of his sacrifice, that we

are a chip off the same stone?

As we dedicate the Altar for sacred use, we remember that no place set apart for celebrating the liturgy unless it has

an altar. Duncan Stroik writes: “The altar is the table on which the priest commemorates and joins us to Christ’s

sacrifice. It is a most holy place on which mere bread and wine are placed, that become Christ’s body and blood. An

altar on which the unbloodied sacrifice of the Mass is presented is a most holy object. That is why we have rules

about how to honor, preserve, and take care of the altar. If it were any other table, that is, merely a piece of

furnishing, we would not have any concerns about treating it with disrespect. We give respect to other material

objection (such as national flags), which are mere symbols. How much greater should our care for the altar of

sacrifice be?”

St. John Chrysostom writes that “the altar is an object of wonder: by nature, it is stone, but it is made holy when it

received the body of Christ”. This is why the altar will be anointed at the time of dedication for Christ’s body was

anointed with oil both before and after His death. Because it is a holy object we also incense the altar. The marble

stone reminds us ever so lovingly that Christ the rock is the “stone that the builder rejected has become the

cornerstone.”

A first class relic of Blessed Solanus Casey will be permanently placed under the mensa (top stone) of the altar

reminding us that there was the early tradition of celebrating Mass over the tombs of the martyrs, most probably

because it was celebrated in the catacombs. There is the ancient custom of naming each altar after the saint placed

there. In this case, Blessed Solanus Casey, we can always remember this is the Altar of Solanus Casey and thus

remember the values he lived by and proclaimed, which are stated in our parish mission statement: we are the people

of God at Prince of Peace Growing in grace, gratitude and giving. As Solanus Casey always proclaimed, may we remember

and live to be a people who consistently “Thank God ahead of time”.

Coming together to celebrate this moment of grace reminds each of us, that it is from this Altar, this altar of Christ

himself, that we receive the Sacred Body and Blood of our Savior and, after prayers, hymns and thanksgiving, go out

into the world to proclaim Christ to others by both word and deed.

23rd Sunday of the Year

It is around the Eucharistic table where the kingdom of

God is made manifest for both the rich and the poor

alike are invited to God’s feast. It is here, in this church,

where we come to remember the promises of God and

renew our commitment to live in hope and service with

Him. As Jesus did all things well, so too we try to do all

things in the name of Christ. Without a doubt, the

words of Isaiah need to be remembered and

proclaimed: Say to those whose hearts are frightened:

Be strong, Fear not! Here is your God….” (35:4a). We

also remember that as the hands and heart of Christ for

others, we go forth into the world knowing that with

God at our side, goodness and kindness will follow us.

After a week of work, we all get tired. Our common

worship allows us the space to enter into quiet

reflection on what blessing have we received this week

and what graces are needed to get right what we have

done wrong for the week to come. God lovingly accepts

our praise and thanksgiving, for this is when we are

totally united to him and after thanking him we may

ask him for help in our everyday lives to reflect His way

of life more fully.

This meal reminds us that every person from every

walk of life, whether we like them or not, is here for the

same purpose: to thank God and ask for presence in

our everyday lives. Each of us is a work in progress for

the rough edges of sin prevent us from reaching out to

others, from helping another and raising up with hope

and forgiveness for each other. We need to come and

remember who we are and what we are about. This

meal is truly “food for the journey” - food for the heart

and soul to strengthen us to imitate Christ. For when

Christ is our center, we are guided in his way of peace.

Father Ron

A Glimpse into the Life of

Father Casey

glimpse into Fr. Casey’s life. On Tuesday, September 11th at

7:00 p.m. in the Social Hall Father Ron, Jeanne Martin, and

Linda Plotkowski will be presenting a look into Father

Casey’s life, his exhumation (which Father Ron was a part

of), a look at the relic that will be sealed into the altar, as

well as many other interesting facts and sharing.

Do You Have One Hour?

Join us on Wednesday, September 12, 2018

from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. for Evening Prayer

followed by veneration of the relic of the

Blessed Solanus Casey.

“Opening Our Ears”

Commentary, by Mary McGlone,

Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet

The Letter of James stands out in Christian literature for its

relentless insistence on justice in action as the sign of

Christian faith. The vignette James gives us today may be

the Christian Scripture’s first condemnation of “profiling.”

James was writing to a community that apparently

separated the ins from the outs by their dress, a detail even less revealing about a person than their ancestry, height,

weight or color of skin. (Think about that in light of the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve tried to create fashion

from fig leaves, they were inventing clothes to hide rather than express who they really were!)

James told his community a story of two visitors to a religious gathering. One is all but dripping with gold, while the

other, like Pig Pen of the “Peanuts” cartoon, radiates what we might call a very earthy aura and aroma. The group’s

reaction is just what would be expected - unless they purported to be Christians.

James reproaches his community for acting like the people in the story he made up. He accuses them of acting like

bribable judges by making distinctions among the members of their congregation. James calls them on the carpet for

betraying God’s priorities. Even as James tells the community to make no distinctions, he points out that God has

consistently chosen the poor to be rich in faith.

This Gospel teaching is especially challenging to economically comfortable communities of faith. Since 1968, the

bishops of Latin America have been outspoken in their prophetic demands that the church recognize the unique role

the poor play in Christianity. In 2007, the bishops published a document edited under the leadership of future Pope

Francis that summarized their international meeting at Aparecida, Brazil. The bishops reminded the church that we

meet Christ particularly in the poor and that the poor have a special claim on our commitment. They went on to say

that the church’s faithfulness to Christ is at stake in our recognition of Christ in the poor. They summarized the

prophetic position of the poor by saying, “Our very adherence to Jesus Christ … makes us friends of the poor and

unites us to their fate.” (Document of Aparecida #257).

With that in mind, let’s imagine James’ fictional community as they look over their two unexpected guests. What

would they have said if one of their members jumped up, rushed past Goldfingers and the religious leaders to

embrace the shabby guest cheerfully shouting, “Dusty! We have been waiting so long for you! You have so much to

teach us! Come up to the ambo so you can get started.” Can’t you imagine a curmudgeon state-whispering, “If she

knew he was coming, why didn’t she get him a bath before he showed up?”

James’ insistence on the importance of the poor throws a unique light on the Gospel and the selection from Isaiah we

hear today. Isaiah proclaims that God’s activity among us gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and leads the

lame to dance. (Note: There’s nothing about bathing or dressing well.) How likely is it that we who dress decently

are the blind and deaf and lame to whom Isaiah refers?

We can appreciate today’s Gospel story - the miracle of healing the deaf man - as a marvel of Jesus’ power and

leave it at that. On the other hand, we might ask where we fit in this story. Mark tells us that some unnamed people

brought the deaf man to Jesus. Who in our society or world might be trying to lead us to a miracle of more acute

hearing?

As we discern how to address societal needs, we can look to Pope Francis and church teaching through the ages.

From the time that Jesus looked at his disciples and said, “Blessed are you poor” to the present time, Christianity has

taught that the poor and those who work for justice represent the reign of God among us. The people moving the

ecological efforts throughout the world are trying to open our ears to the cry of the earth. In our country, pro-life

activists, the proponents of Black Lives Matter, the Me Too movement and the high school disarmament activists

would say they are trying to bring our society to its senses. Perhaps, God is working through them somehow to

move us to hear what our faith demands in today’s world.

Why Do We Do That?

Catholic Traditions Explained

Question: If God is good, why is there evil in the world?

Answer: The problem of evil is perplexing. If God is all-

powerful and all-good, why doesn’t He stop bad things from

happening? He must either not be all-powerful, or perhaps

He’s not very good after all. Human beings have faced the

possibility of evil since the very beginning of our existence.

In granting us free will, God gives us the ability to make free

choices. God does not force us into moral perfection. We

are not forced to love Him or to love our neighbor. We must

make the decision ourselves. This means, of course, that we

have the ability to choose against love. One small decision of

selfishness, jealously, or pride may not seem so bad. But

every decision -- good or bad -- is like a stone dropped into a

still pond. The ripples extend much farther than the original

stone. When decisions against love begin to compound,

they affect families, neighborhoods, and nations. This is all

the more reason for Christians to be faithful to our

baptismal call to love one another as Christ has loved us!

An age-appropriate Liturgy of the Word is offered for

children ages 4 through 2nd grade. Children’s Liturgy of

the Word is offered the First and Third Sunday’s of the

month during the 10:00 a.m. Mass.

No pre-registration is necessary. All children are welcome

and encouraged to attend. Children are invited to celebrate

the Liturgy of the Word in a way specifically designed for

their age group. They listen to the same Scripture readings

as the rest of the assembly, and are taught a simplified main

message of the readings and are encouraged to share that

message with their parents after Mass.

For additional information or to get involved, please contact

Linda Plotkowski, Worship Coordinator by email

[email protected] or by phone at 248-

681-9424.

Please be mindful of strong

perfumes/colognes you wear to Mass.

There are some in our faith community who

have increasing scent/fragrance sensitivities

and allergies that affect them physically.

Thank you.

Be at Peace

Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life;

rather, look to them, with full hope that as they arise,

God, whose very own you are,

will lead you safely through all things;

and when you cannot stand it,

God will carry you in His arms.

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;

the same everlasting Father,

who cares for you today,

will take care of you then and every day.

He will either shield you from suffering,

or will give you unfailing strength to bear it.

Be at peace,

and put aside all anxious thoughts and imagination.

St. Francis de Sales

Prayer for our troops -

All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his native

land and departed from his people you kept him safe through all

his journeys. Protect these soldiers. Be their constant

companion, strength and refuge in every adversity. Guide them,

O Lord, that they may return home in safety.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

“Grant them eternal rest,

O Lord, and let

Perpetual light shine

upon them.”

Patriot Day

Tuesday, September 11, 2018

Heavenly Father, Creator of All,

You have created the human person as good.

You have placed us in the world as one human

family, as sisters and brothers.

We pray today for all victims of violence across the world,

for the healing of their mind and body,

for their mourning family members,

for the repose of their souls.

Jesus, You have told us to love our enemies,

and to pray for those who persecute us.

Give us the strength and courage to forgive.

Remove all lingering desire for revenge.

Holy Spirit, reveal to us the mercy of God.

Give us the gift of Your peace that

surpasses all understanding.

Amen.
