Suspect That Most of Us Have Had a Day Or Two When We Could Relate To

Our Sunday Scriptures suspect that most of us have Ihad a day or two when we could relate to Qoheleth's feeling of emptiness that he expresses in the Hebrew phrases translated as “Vanity of vanities!” It is human nature to want our work to be productive. Our human nature also leads us to yearn for a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life. Some days leave us wanting and sorrow and grief find their way into our life. Yet, for people of faith, worldly wisdom is insufficient. Psalm 90 as our response helps us to recognize the passing nature of our days on earth. We will return to the dust out of which God created us. We could respond to these truths with the hopelessness of Qoheleth in the First Reading, or we could make the psalmist's words of hope our own and ask the Lord to fill us with his kindness when day breaks (Continued on page 4)

Our Sunday Scriptures (Continued from page 1) so that we may shout with “joy and gladness all our days.” In writing to the Colossians, the author encourages his audience to “seek what is above,” rather than “what is on earth.” He provides a list of vices that Christians need to put to death since our old selves have died in Baptism and we have put on a new self. Our relationships with one another must embody our new selves. They must honor the truth that no divisions exist in Christ. The Gospel reading directly responds to Qoheleth's emptiness as we learn from the parable of the rich fool that earthly wealth does not matter to God. What matters is the direction of one's life. Have we renounced greed? Is our life headed in the direction of the Kingdom of God? Conceivably, Jesus' parable led the disciples and the person in the crowd who boldly asked Jesus to tell his brother to share his inheritance with him (the person in the crowd) to reflect on questions such as these. T- Bones Not necessarily the steak I prefer, but rather the trapezoid, trapezium and triquetral -- three of the eight bones that make up the wrist. Of this little trifecta, the triquetral is the one that definitively has the slight fracture. You can barely see it on the x-rays, and it is usually injured pretty often. I now have had more x-rays and CT scans of my wrist than any other part of my body, with the exception maybe of my teeth, which are x-rayed once a year at my dentist's office. The good news is that no surgery seems to be needed at this point to put things back together. The bad news is that the splint and sling will continue to be part of my life for six to eight weeks. The best part is that it's already week number four! I can almost eat left-handed without making too big of a mess on myself! A few other daily chores are a bit more challenging. Whether some therapy will be needed will be determined at the next doctor appointment, scheduled for later in August. Currently, I'm up to “Holy” in the Sign of the Cross. Hopefully, by that next appointment I'll be able to complete the whole prayer RIGHT handed. Thanks for your continued prayers, cards, good wishes and laughs that have made this a most interesting summer adventure. The Collection at Mass With roots in the early Church, the collection taken during Mass is an ancient tradition. Originally, the people brought forward bread and wine from their own homes to be used for the Eucharist. They also presented goods from their possessions -- foods they harvested, livestock from their farms, household items from their own storeroom. These would be distributed by the deacons to those in need in the community as well as given for the material needs of the church. Today, we still ritually present bread and wine, though not usually from our own homes. Gifts for the poor and the church are now often given in the form of money. At St. Lucy, we continue to give of ourselves, our possessions -- food that we have harvested -- from our new community garden in the Jefferson courtyard off Holy Family Hall, or non-perishable food items, paper goods, and other products from our pantries and storerooms at home. Our practice is to bring them forward as the collection is taken and to put them in the basket near the altar. The basket is always there for 9 a.m. Mass, and usually makes it there for the other two Masses, if the ministers of hospitality and additional gift-bearers remember to bring it forward. Taking up any collection has significant meaning for what we do at the Eucharist. Giving money at Mass is not, as some might treat it, a measure of one's satisfaction with the liturgy, parish life, or the church in general. Our Christian sacrifice cannot be some vague theoretical idea. We have to give something of our selves that is a real sacrifice -- something we would rather not give up. For most of us today, that's money. Beyond simply being a way to help the parish pay its bills, the collection is one way we bring ourselves -- “the work of human hands” along with the “fruit of the earth” -- to the altar. Our food items are not necessarily those that are conveniently on sale, or what we have coupons for, but as one child said, “let's offer something that we would eat at home.” That's why all these elements, the monetary stewardship offerings in the collection, the non-perishable food items
