Celebrating the Sacraments

Sunday Gospel Reflection - Lk 11:1-13

[In today's Gospel] Jesus used an illustration from the hospitality customs of his time to show how God is always ready to treat us with the best he has to offer. The rule of hospitality in biblical times required that every guest, whether stranger or friend, be warmly welcomed, refreshed (which often involved the washing of feet), and fed with the best food and drink available. It didn't matter what time of the day or night the guests might show up, it was your duty to stop what you were doing so you could give the guests the best care and shelter you could provide. If there wasn't adequate sleeping accommodation for both your guests and your

family, the family slept outside under the stars. When guests showed up in a village, the whole community could be prevailed upon to provide whatever was needed. Jesus' parable of the importunate and bothersome neighbor shows a worst case scenario of what might happen when an unexpected guest shows up in the middle of the night! The family awakens, unbolts the locked door to receive the guest, then washes the guest's feet, and the wife begins to prepare a meal. When the wife discovers that she has no bread to set before the guest, she prevails on her husband to go and get bread from a nearby family, who by now is also asleep with their door bolted shut. In a small village it would be easy for the wife to know who had baked bread that day. Bread was essential for a meal because it served as a utensil for dipping and eating from the common dishes. Asking for bread from one's neighbor was both a common occurrence and an expected favor. To refuse to give bread would bring shame because it was a sign of inhospitality. If a neighbor can be imposed upon and coerced into giving bread in the middle of the night, will not God, our heavenly Father and provider, also treat us with kind and generous care no matter how troubling or inconvenient the circumstances might appear? Jesus states emphatically, How much more will the heavenly Father give! St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) reminds us that "God, who does not sleep and who awakens us from sleep that we may ask, gives much more graciously." The Lord Jesus assures us that we can bring our needs to our heavenly Father who is always ready to give not only what we need, but more than we can ask. God gives the best he has. He freely pours out the blessing of his Holy Spirit upon us so that we may be filled with the abundance of his provision. Do you approach your heavenly Father with confidence in his mercy and kindness towards you?

St. Augustine Parish, Andover, MA

Around the Parish This week we will be welcoming some of the youngest members of our community to join us for the annual Vacation Bible School in our parish center. St. Augustine Church has joined forces with several local churches, including Free Christian Church, and St. Michael’s Church in North Andover to follow Jesus, the Light of the World in “Cave Quest” - our own parish center will be transformed into an underground world!!! Seventy nursery, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students will gather each day to participate in Bible stories, music, and games with the help of forty adult and student volunteers. Free Christian will welcome 250 students in grades 1-6 along with over one hundred adult and student volunteers!! I would ask everyone to pay particular attention to safety in the parking lot during this week. With so much happening and so many young children around we urge you to be even more cautious than usual as you enter and leave the lot.

Thank you Bridget Rao DRE

Your participation in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s BACK-TO-SCHOOL PROJECT can help low-income Andover families get a good start in the new school year. Please pick up a tag from the display board near the church’s front entrance. Please return gift cards by mail or in person to the Parish Office (8:45am-2:30pm Mon-Thurs, CLOSED Fridays) by Monday, August 15. Thank you. Questions? Call 978-475-0050, x49. Our parish's Bread and Roses obligation is this Tuesday, July 26th. Please bring donations to the parish center on Monday from 8:45am-2:30pm or on Tuesday from 8:45am-2pm. Bread and Roses is a soup kitchen in Lawrence. Once each month, many parishioners collectively donate the food for one meal. The obligation is rotated over the course of three months - it's easy and a great way to help feed the hungry. For more information or to help, please contact Eileen Novelline at [email protected]. The next Cancer Survivors meeting will be Tuesday, July 26th at 6:30 pm in the Center of Education and Ministry. For info call Klara Vajda at 508-265-3883 or e-mail Kathleen Cherny at [email protected]. We ask for and appreciate your continued generosity with the weekly food collection. Your food donation is a tremendous help to our Andover and Lawrence neighbors who are in need. Especially needed are drinks, snacks for school age children, individual cereal boxes, low sodium and low fat canned soups, canned solid white tuna, and low fat mayonnaise in plastic jars. Save the Date: Wednesday, October 19th, 2pm in the parish center for the next Interfaith Prayer Shawl gathering.
