AND NOW A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR….

Good news! We now have a Bridget V.

When Bridget IV died on July 19th, I resolved not to wait too long before

getting in touch with Beagle Rescue and give another rescued beagle a good home.

I went online and browsed the pics of beagles up for adoption. Our new Bridget

had to be female, not a puppy/young dog, house trained, good with children. Quite

a few caught my eye for various reasons. One in particular stood out….Lily Mae:

female, 6 years old, house trained, good with children, affectionate. In many ways

she seemed a carbon copy of Bridget IV....same coloring, size....but hard to tell

online. Having made the initial inquiry about her, I made arrangements with the lady who was

fostering her in her home to bring her by and see if we were a match. Beagle Rescue is very partic-

ular about the placement of their rescues. She brought ‘Lily Mae’ on Monday, August 3rd. I found

them on the front porch swing. I think the lady was very impressed with the grounds and ‘Lily

Mae’s’ new home. We hit if off swell. We brought her to the office to meet the staff with whom she

was an immediate hit also. She charmed the money counters and later even won over Charlie

O’Brien. Chatting with her foster mother, I was told that she was 5 years old. Lily’s story was that

she was raised as a puppy in the home of a family with 2 children. When the 3rd child was born, he

was allergic to dogs. The family turned ‘Lily’ over to Beagle Rescue immediately. Therefore, she

was never abused or strictly abandoned/on the street. Bridget IV had been severely abused and was

rescued just in time. Animal Control had scheduled to have her put down but decided at the last

minute to call Beagle Rescue. It took a year to rehabilitate her. I got her just before she came

online. I figure there is Divine Providence involved in pairing up these rescued dogs/animals with

their new ‘people’. Don’t think we really ‘own’ em….more like they own us….lol. Not a matter

either. At my age, feel more like a ‘grandad’….lol. When the lady left, I noticed that ‘Lily’s’ papers

stated that she was 4 years old. So, when asked how old she is, my answer is the medium: 5 years,

though, I swear, that at times I think she’s 2 or 3. I guess growing up in a house with kids kept her

young. She’s wearing me out!

Lily Mae has adjusted well to her new name and her new home. She is definitely spoiled by

everyone. It will be awhile before I’ll feel comfortable letting her out without a leash. The one time

she broke free she headed for the highway….bad dog!! You may hear her on Sunday mornings or

when people are around in the backyard of the rectory. She has this demanding attitude that she

should be running free. She can be petted but please do not let her out. She does well at the Farm

also. Though, when determining the pecking order with the three other dogs, she definitely came

out 4….with 5 stitches. Beagle Rescue has called and asked how she’s doing. Of course, she’s doing

wonderfully….spoiled. We didn’t mention she’d already been to the hospital with a dog bite that

required 5 stitches. They would probably think she needed rescuing again….lol.

Bridget V is an asset to our parish family. If nothing else, she’s keeping this pastor in shape

running after her.

PARISH FEAST DAY ~ SEPT. 8

The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (parish patroness) is Sep-tember 8. This feast originated in the Eastern Church and was commemorated in the West as early as the fifth century. Although no one is certain where Mary was born, one ancient tradition cites Nazareth and another Jerusalem. An oc-casion for praise and thanksgiving, the feast celebrates Mary’s personal sanctity and vocation as the mother of Jesus. If we wish to recover lost grace, let us seek Mary, by whom this grace has been found. She never lost divine grace; she

always possessed it. Lord, may your Church, renewed in the holy Eucharist, be filled with joy at the birth of the Virgin Mary, who brought the dawn of hope and salvation to the world. We ask this in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning Mass will be celebrated as usual @ 9am on that day.

Check out the church’s cornerstone to the right of the entrance to the church.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul celebrates three important feasts during the month of September. The Feast of the Birth of Mary is celebrated on September 8

th. September 9

th is the feast of Blessed

Frederic Ozanam, a founder of the Society. Blessed Frederic died on the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, September 8, 1853. Devotion to Mary, the mother of God, was woven into the various stages of Frederic’s life. He invites us to consider our own devotion to Mary and our trust in her intercession

with her divine Son. Blessed Frederic and the first members of the Society chose St. Vincent de Paul as their patron because his name was almost synonymous with charity. The Church has called St. Vincent de Paul “The Apostle of Charity” and “Father of the Poor.” Members of the Society are referred to as “Vincentians”, after its patron. Vincentians are inspired by his spirituality, manifest in his attitudes, his thoughts, his example and his words. Vincentians are called to more than “volunteering to serve the poor.” They are called to VOCATION – a way of living their lives. The vocation of Vincentians is to grow in holiness and follow Christ through service to those in need and to bear witness to His compassionate and liberating love. The feast of St. Vincent de Paul is celebrated on September 27

th.

O God, through Mary, mother of God, -we ask for the grace to recognize Jesus in the poor. O God, for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul,

-grant us the grace to live the spirit of Frederic

and Vincent. Amen.

We are always happy to welcome new members to our St. Vincent de Paul

conference. We meet monthly. Our purpose is to reach out to those in need while working to

improve our own spirituality. If you are interested in learning about our work, call our president,

BBQ Dinner with Krolczyk Sausage

From Fr. Bill:

Beginning on July 25th, our Gospel readings for five straight weeks came from the sixth chapter of

St. John. First our Lord miraculously fed a large crowd using but five small barley loaves and two

fish with twelve baskets of left overs after they had eaten their fill. Later He gave His discourse in the synagogue in

Capernaum, pointing out the true significance of this great miracle. He had given them not merely food to nourish

their bodies, but the bread of life, promising that those who ate and drank this food would have eternal life and rise

up on the last day.

Like any good teacher, when Jesus taught, He used images which were already familiar to His hearers,

images like the farmer scattering his seed or the shepherd guarding his sheep. This powerful chapter from John

where Jesus says I am the bread of life, is a good example. And in speaking of bread, as He did so often, Jesus gave

this familiar reality new meaning.

The Jews to whom He was speaking knew well their Jewish Scriptures, our Old Testament; there “bread”

not only referred to a familiar food, but was often seen as a symbol for spiritual food ..... that wisdom which God

gives to those who both approach Him in faith and try to do His will. When Jesus said, I am the bread of life, He

was building on that, yet going further, giving the symbol of bread a deeper meaning.

Jesus Himself is the divine wisdom that God gives His people for nourishment. It is He Who is the bread

that mere money cannot buy. He alone satisfies that hunger and thirst that stands at the center of all our lives. All of

this wealth of meaning lies behind Jesus' simple statement, I am the bread of life. We Catholics naturally assume

that Jesus was referring to the Eucharist ..... and so He was. But this bread of life does much more than the bread

spoken of in the Old Testament. Yes, it does give the worthy recipient nourishment, understanding and a symbolic

end to hunger and thirst ..... but it is much more. It is also the gift of Christ’s very self, the food of heaven to fortify

us for the journey to Heaven itself. He said that He is the bread that comes down from heaven, for one to eat and

never to die. If anyone eats this bread, he shall live forever; the bread I will give is My flesh, for the life of the

world. Jesus means that for those who eat “the living bread” He gives, physical death will be insignificant .....

it will be a mere way station on the journey to eternal life.

I know that this is a teaching that needs much faith to accept. For those who do not share our faith, it is a

very hard idea to even consider ..... and perhaps, even for some who will read this, such a belief in the Eucharist

seems to be almost unreal. There is, however, another passage in the Gospels which tells of an event that has always

given me great strength in my personal belief in the Eucharist. In the twenty-fourth chapter of his Gospel, St. Luke

tells us of an event that occurred on that first Easter morning. Two of our Lord’s followers were walking along the

road from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, walking filled with confusion, sadness and grief. Their Lord had

been brutally killed two days before and they had not yet heard of His Resurrection. A stranger approached, a per-

son Whom (although He was Jesus) they did not recognize; He asked them what they were discussing. One of these

men, Cleopas was his name, responded that this stranger must be the only One in Jerusalem Who did not know of

the Crucifixion of Jesus, the One they had hoped would be the Messiah.

You know the story: Jesus then, beginning with the Old Testament, explained for them the meaning of the

scriptures and why it had been necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to die, only to rise on the third day. Later that

day, when evening arrived, they found themselves at the outskirts of the village of Emmaus; the two disciples, excit-

ed by His teaching, asked this mysterious stranger to stay on with them. He did ..... and when they were seated for

supper, He took the bread and blessed it; He also did the same with the cup of wine ..... and then, at last, their eyes

were opened; they recognized that it was He, their Lord. As Jesus, their Risen Lord, vanished from their sight,

what He left was the sacrament of His Body and Blood. Luke tells us that these men later recalled how wondrous it

had been for them as they walked with Him on the road and how they had come to know Him in the breaking of the

bread, that term which the early Church used for the Mass.

And so it is with us. At each of our Masses, the Lord walks with us on the road; He gives us God’s truth and

He breaks the bread for us. We too can come to know Him more deeply, just as those disciples did on the road to

Emmaus. But for this to happen in our lives, we must come to His great gift with reverence, receiving the Lord of

life with faith, with joy and with respect. First one must be worthy of this gift, free from serious sins, and then, as

you consume His Body and Blood, take a moment to reverence the Lord Who is present in the Eucharist for you .....

thanking Him, welcoming Him, glorifying Him as you become ever more deeply united with Him Who died for you,

so that you might attain the glory of heaven, united with Him Who is giving you the food for your journey.

From Pope Francis – On the Miracle of the Bread

Below is the address Pope Francis gave before the Angelus on the Nineteenth Sunday in

Ordinary Time [August 9th, 2015] in St. Peter’s Square in Rome. He was explaining the Gospel of that

Sunday, John 6:41-51:

The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”

and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do not we know his father and mother? Then how

can he say ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring

among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him

on the last day. It is written in the Prophets ‘They shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to

my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is

from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the

bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down

from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; who-

ever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

He began: Dear brothers and sisters, good morning! This Sunday, we continue reading from the

sixth chapter of the Gospel of John, in which Jesus, having accomplished the great miracle of the multiplica-

tion of the bread, explains to people the meaning of the "sign.” As he had done earlier with the Samaritan

woman, starting from the experience of thirst and the sign of water, here Jesus goes from the experience of

hunger and the sign of bread, to reveal Himself and to offer an invitation to believe in Him.

The people seek Him and listen to Him, because they remained enthused by the miracle; they wanted

to make him king! However, when Jesus affirms that the true bread, given by God, is Himself, many are

shocked, and begin murmuring among themselves, "Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can

he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’? ". And they begin to murmur. Then Jesus says, "No one can come

to me unless the Father who sent me draw him," and adds: “whoever believes has eternal life". This word of

the Lord amazes us, and makes us think, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him,”

and “whoever believes has eternal life”. It makes one reflect. It introduces the dynamic of faith, which is a

relationship: the relationship between the human person and the person of Jesus, where the Father plays a

decisive role, and, of course, also the Holy Spirit. That is implied here. It is not enough to meet Jesus to

believe in Him, not just in reading the Bible, the Gospel; not even enough in witnessing a miracle. So many

people were in close contact with Jesus and did not believe. Indeed, they also despised and condemned Him.

And I ask myself: Why? Were they not attracted by the Father? No, but because their hearts were closed to

the action of the Spirit of God. If you keep your heart closed, the faith doesn't enter! We open or close our

hearts. But instead the faith, which is like a seed deep in the heart, blossoms when we allow ourselves to be

"drawn" from the Father to Jesus, and "to go to Him" with an open mind, without prejudices; then we recog-

nize in His face the face of God, and in his words, the Word of God, because the Holy Spirit has made us

enter into the relationship of love and of life between Jesus and God, the Father. So we receive the gift of the

faith.

Therefore, with this attitude of faith, we can understand the meaning of "Bread of life" that Jesus

gives us, and that He describes in this way: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever

eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world". In Jesus,

in His "flesh" ..... that is, in His concrete humanity ..... God’s love, which is the Holy Spirit, is everything.

Those who let themselves be attracted by this love go to Jesus in faith, and receive from Him life, eternal

life. Someone who lived this experience in such an exemplary way was the Virgin of Nazareth, Mary: the

first human person who believed in God by accepting the flesh of Jesus. Let us learn from her, our Mother,

joy and gratitude for the gift of faith. A gift that is not "private" but shared: it is "for the life of the world"!

At the end of his talk, as is his custom, he concluded: “To all I wish a Good Sunday. Please, do not

forget to pray for me. Have a good lunch and goodbye!”

IT’S CEMETERY CLEANUP TIME AGAIN! The Cemetery Cleanup Day for St. Mary’s & St. Joseph’s

is set for 9am SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2015. Old, faded and discolored flowers and unauthorized pots and banners, etc.

which make mowing difficult will be removed. Anyone who has unauthorized items that

they want to keep that are in the Cemetery, should remove them before the 3rd.

Parishioners, as well as, any youth groups that need community service hours

are encouraged to participate in this event.

GRIMES COUNTY SHERIFF DON SOWELL was sworn in as the new President of the Sheriffs’ Association of

Texas by his long-time friend and mentor, retired Montgomery County

Sheriff Joe Corley, during the 137th Annual Training Conference in San

Antonio, TX July 19-21, 2015.

Sheriff Sowell has been the Sheriff of Grimes County since Sep-

tember 1998. He distinguishes himself in his county and throughout the

State as he assumes this leadership role in the Sheriffs’ Association of

Texas.

The Sheriffs’ Association of Texas serves as a liaison with

federal, state, county and municipal agencies and associations to

promote cooperation, training, education, and more efficient services

to the citizens of Texas.

Sheriff Sowell and his wife Gail (our parish secretary) reside in

Anderson, TX and are parishioners of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. He

is often seen around St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s as he volunteers his time

to do security for our annual bazaars. He has also been seen on the dunk-

ing pond in years’ past.

I know how proud of our St. Mary cemetery all my fellow parishioners are and how we want to have it be a "jewel" in the St. Mary community. To ensure that it is, the Cemetery Committee has established two "clean up days" during the year. The "clean up days" are always the same each year, the first Saturday of Lent and the first Saturday in October. Clean up starts at 9:00 AM and usually takes some 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Drinks and snacks are provided and all are encouraged to come and help with the effort. Also, to ensure the cemetery stays in pristine condition, the Cemetery Committee has established guidelines for the placement of flowers and other "sentimental items" which parishioners and family members wish to place on graves. These guidelines are offered to ensure that the grounds maintenance crew can do their work in the most efficient manner possible and to ensure that the cemetery remains clutter free. Items which do not conform to the guidelines are removed at "clean up days" and are placed under the tree, to the left, just outside of the large gate, to be reclaimed and taken away by the fami-ly. Please do not be off put by this necessary program. Thank you, in advance, for complying with the guidelines which are for the good of all those "at rest" and to keep our cemetery the "jewel" it is.
