Encyclopedia Catholic?

It’s a busy %me in our home right

now, with the upcoming wedding of

our son and our soon�to�be�daughter�

in�law!� For the next few Mondays,

I’m selec%ng a few of my favorite

“mercifulmoments” and re�publishing

them in case you missed them the

first %me around!���

�

I wrote and ini%ally published this on

mercifulmomentsblog May 23, 2016.���

�

I have fond memories of watching

black and white Mickey Mouse Club re

�runs as a girl.� I mainly followed the

short serials such as�Spin and

Marty�and�The Hardy Boys, but there’s

a short Jiminy Cricket film that I re-

member this morning called Encyclo-

pedia.� In it, Cricket sings of the won-

ders of these big books of knowledge

and how they sasfy one’s curiosity.�

�

Our parents proudly purchased a set

of encyclopedias for the family in 1972

or 1973, almost around the same me

that we got our first Zenith color tele-

vision set.� Those encyclopedias sat on

a shelf below the TV and were well�

used over the years for our homework

assignments.� We were taught to re-

spect the books, to always return

them to their righWul place on the

shelf and to take good care of them.

They also, however, became an inte-

gral part of proving one was right in a

multude of disagreements in our

large family.� While the thirst for

knowledge was recognized in our

home, so was proving that one was

right at all costs.� Running and grab-

bing the correct encyclopedia to prove

a point was very common.� It was al-

most a survival of the fi<est at mes…

or quickest with the answers. And in

someone proving himself or herself

right, subsequently someone else was

wrong or at least not as fast to defend

their case.�

�

I believe for a very long me this was

pre<y much the way I lived my Catho-

lic Faith.� Maybe I was, to coin a

phrase, an Encyclopedia Catholic.� I

could list the Corporal Works of Mercy

or with some prompng, even the

Seven Deadly Sins, both helpful if play-

ing a round of Catholic Trivia.� But it

was not unl I started reading Scrip-

ture daily that I began to look at what

it really means to encounter Christ, to

love our neighbor, to show compas-

sion or mercy.� I dare say I never

“owned” my Catholic faith unl I be-

gan to grow in understanding of Jesus’

encounters with others in the Gospels.�

�

“The truth is not grasped as a thing;

the truth is encountered. It is not a

possession; it is an encounter with a

Person.”�―�Pope Francis,�the Church

of Mercy�

��

The only drawback to “owning” one’s

faith, however, is you never can sit

back and do nothing again.� From that

first spiritual awakening, it becomes

obvious that in order to encounter

Christ, we must walk with others, we

must work with others, and we must

laugh and cry and be with others.� We

learn to realize that our acons have

consequences and somemes our

words can inflict pain.� The Catholic

Chrisan, in his/her awareness of this,

must strive to see each person as one

of God’s beloved sons or daughters,

with their own stories, their own

“baggage,” their own sorrows and

joys.� If I fail to see Christ in you, I fail

to see Christ at all and am only being

an Encyclopedia Catholic.� Today,

LORD, help me to see the person of

Christ in EVERYONE I encounter.� And

please help others to see Christ in

me.� Amen.�

So Many Thank�You’s!�

�

During the month of May, we celebrated First Eucharist and

the Sacrament of Confirma�on. So many people in the parish

assisted in making these sacramental celebra�ons really

special! Members of the music ministry, altar servers,

catechists, calligraphers, lectors, cross bearers, ushers,

greeters, arts & environment, extraordinary ministers, bread

people, and sacristans, thank you for all that you did to share

your �me and talent. To the people who sat somewhere else

in church because we had reserved your pews for the children,

teens, sponsors or families, thank you for being flexible and

understanding. To all who welcomed new faces or slid over

to make room or were kind in the parking lots, thank you.

And St. Augus�ne’s Ministry Team, en�re staff, your support,

pa�ence and love throughout these busy days is appreciated

so much…THANK YOU! ��Kris Skinner�
