FOOD PANTRY CORNER

Our St. Jude Food Pantry has grown in those to whom we serve. We are truly one family in Christ.

The St. Jude Food Pantry has several teams: First of all, our “Sharing is Caring” parishioners who donate non-perishable food items as well as money. To you, we are most grateful.

The second team is our “Give Hope” hospitality volunteers. This group warmly welcomes our guests and updates their records. Most of all, they realize sometimes people need more than groceries. Our volunteers

care about them, listen to them, and lend their loving hearts.

The third team, “Stock it Up” volunteers. They efficiently pack the grocery bags according to family size and various needs. They oversee donations, restock and keep the food pantry area clean. The youth deliver the

groceries to our clients’ vehicles and assist in other ways, too numerous to mention - they are also "real troopers" during the days of Florida rainstorms.

Our loving God has blessed our parish with generous and caring parishioners, visitors, snowbirds, and volunteers of all ages.

We Thank You for your Continued Support and Prayers!

GOD IS ENOUGH Many outstanding thinkers in the Church have devoted themselves to the study of humility. Saints such as Augus-tine, Thomas Aquinas, and Teresa of Ávila have helped us appreciate the essence of humility. Basically, humility accepts the simple truth that God creates everything, and provides all that we creatures require. Humility, then, is faith applied to daily life. If I am created in God’s very image, and if my life’s goal is to unite with God in paradise, then God desires only paradise for me. Practically speaking, that means all day, every day, God will provide just exactly what I need to grow in holiness. Furthermore, God does this for me just as much as for every other creature on earth. All the gifts and talents that we have come from God, and everything we see as failure or weakness could never lie beyond God’s powerful redemption. IN GOD WE TRUST Humility requires that we trust God to give us everything we need to live this life in such a way that we will live forever in paradise. This level of trust in God’s providence is a gift, and it takes time to cultivate. Little by little, if we really, truly, deeply know that God wants to give us heaven, then common difficulties lose much of their power to unnerve us. In humility, we can let someone else have the last cookie. In humility, we can rejoice in a coworker’s promotion. In humility, we can clean a mess we did not create. We can accept incompleteness, exclusion, and sacrifice because of the absolute certainty that God alone provides what we need. Jesus himself asks us to choose this humble way of life. “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,” he says in Luke’s Gospel today, “but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” That is not just poetic rhetoric. Jesus actually means for humility to change our lives. He challenges us to “invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

DIOS ES SUFICIENTE Muchos pensadores destacados en la Iglesia se vienen dedicando al estudio de la humildad. Santos como Agustín, Tomás de Aquino y Teresa de Ávila nos ayudan a apreciar la esencia de la humildad. Fundamentalmente, la humildad acep-ta la verdad sencilla que Dios crea todo, y provee

todo aquello que nosotros sus creaturas necesitamos. La humildad, entonces, es la fe aplicada a la vida diaria. Si soy creado en la misma imagen que Dios, y si la meta de mi vida es unirme con Dios en el paraíso, entonces Dios desea solo el paraíso para mí. Hablando de manera práctica, eso significa todo el día, cada día, Dios proveerá solo exactamente lo que yo necesito para crecer en santidad. Además, Dios hace esto por mí tanto como lo haría por otra creatura en la tierra. Todos los dones y talentos que tenemos vienen de Dios y todo lo que vemos como una falla o una debilidad no podría estar nunca más allá de la redención poderosa de Dios. EN DIOS CONFIAMOS La humildad requiere que confiemos en Dios para darnos todo lo que necesitamos para vivir esta vida de tal manera que vivamos por siempre en el paraíso. Este nivel de confianza en la providencia de Dios es un don, y requiere tiempo cultivarlo. Poco a poco, si nosotros de verdad, profundamente sabemos que Dios quiere darnos el cielo, entonces las dificultades comunes pierden mucha de su fuerza para desconcertarnos. Con humildad, podemos dejar que alguien tome la última galleta. Con humildad, podemos alegrarnos por la promoción de un compañero de trabajo. Con humildad, podemos arreglar un desorden que no hicimos. Podemos aceptar lo incompleto, la exclusión y el sacrificio debido a la absoluta certeza de que solo Dios provee lo que necesitamos. El mismo Jesús nos pide elegir esta humilde forma de vida. Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy dice: “El que se engrandece a sí mismo, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será engrandecido”. Esa expresión no es poesía retórica. Jesús realmente quiere decir que la humildad cambia nuestra vida. Él nos desafía a “invitar a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos; y así serás dichoso, porque ellos no tienen con qué pagarte; pero ya se te pagará, cuando resuciten los justos”.

SECOND COLLECTION Next weekend, September 7th & 8th, we will have a

second collection that will help with the care of priests in retirement. Please be generous.

SEGUNDA COLECTA El próximo fin de semana, 7 y 8 de septiembre, tendre-mos una segunda colecta que ayudará con el cuidado de los sacerdotes ya retirados. Por favor, sean generosos.

"En una sociedad pluralista, la gente no está de acuerdo. Es arrogante insistir en que la Iglesia no tiene derecho a su propia enseñanza. Ciertamente, un político tiene la libertad para rechazar las enseñanzas de la Iglesia, pero seamos

honestos. El elegir a favor del aborto es rechazar el Evangelio de la vida. Es no ser fiel a la enseñanza de la Iglesia. La Iglesia enseña que el derecho a la vida es fundamental. Sin vida, no hay otros derechos. Hoy no sólo es alarmante la pérdida de tantas vidas inocentes, pero no menos inquietante es el oscurecimiento de la conciencia entre tantos que encuentran “cada vez más difícil distinguir entre el bien y el mal en lo referente al valor fundamen-tal de la vida humana” (Evangelium Vitae, 4). ¿Por qué la Iglesia no tiene el derecho a expresar su doctrina sobre esta importante cuestión en la plaza pública? Ella tiene que hablar y hablar a me-nudo. El aborto puede ser para algunos sólo una cuestión política, pero, para el niño inocente, es una cuestión de vida o muerte." —Monseñor Arthur J. Serratelli, Obispo de Paterson, 19 Jun 2007.

We are told by all spiritual writers that one important point to bear in mind, as we seek

to attain humility, is not to be surprised by our own faults and failures.

—François Fénelon

“In a pluralistic society, people disagree. It is arrogant to insist that the Church does not have the right to her own teaching. Certainly, a politician has the freedom to reject Church’s teaching, but let’s be honest. To choose to be pro-choice is to reject the Gospel of life. It is to be not faithful to Church teaching. The Church teaches that the right to life is fundamental. Without life, there is no other right. Today not only is the taking of so many innocent lives alarming, but no less unsettling is the darkening of conscience among so many who find it “increasingly difficult to distinguish between good and evil in what concerns the basic value of human life” (Evangelium Vitae, 4). Why should the Church not have a right to voice her teaching on this important issue in the public square? She must speak and speak often. Abortion may be for some just a political issue, but, for the innocent child, it is a matter of life or death.” —Most Reverend Arthur J. Serratelli, Bishop of Paterson, June 19, 2007.
