-GOSPEL MEDITATION -

As we go about our days, we necessarily label,

classify, and prioritize. What's "in" and what's "out"

on our priority list? Because humans are social

beings, we tend to do the same thing with people.

We can only invite six people to the dinner party.

Our young child wants to invite certain friends to her

birthday, but we're keenly aware of who the parents

are, and the prospect of spending several hours with

them is enough to give us pause.

In today's Gospel, Jesus' disciples face a

classification problem. They've seen another person

driving out demons in the name of Jesus. They

recognize him, a non-Apostle, as clearly "out." And

yet "Jesus replied, 'Do not prevent him ? whoever is

not against us is for us." Jesus recognizes real faith

in the would-be exorcist. In our own lives, Jesus

invites us to recognize others' good intentions. They

should not be cut off simply because they do not line

up with all our personal preferences. What, then, is

deserving of such a fate?

"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off ? if your

eye causes you to sin, pluck it out."

When his listeners blame others, Jesus tends to

pivot the conversation to their own lives. In this case,

the message is clear. What we really need to cut out

is that which keeps us from Jesus. If over-

commitment causes us to lose patience with our

family, doubt God's providence, and become

consumed with self-reliance, cut something out. If

certain friendships lead us time after time into gossip

and slander, cut it out. In today's Gospel, Jesus

invites us to live intentionally in our discipleship. Are

we ready?

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family

and friends of Helen Haag Gaspar, 98, of Eden

Valley who passed away on September 20.

Mass of Christian Burial was held on

September 25 at the Assumption Church.

Please remember Helen and her family and friends in your prayers. The family

of Helen wishes to thank the parish for all their help at this time.

"See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels

in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father" (Matthew 18:10). In

these words of Jesus, we can see the continuation of a rich tradition of angels

accompanying and aiding human beings. From conception to death, every human

person is under the watchful care of a particular angel. Like with the saints, we can

grow in friendship with our guardian angel. On the feast of the Guardian Angels this

week, remember this prayer from your childhood and ask for your angel's help! "Angel

of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at

my side, to light, to guard, to rule, to guide."
