We need to get our bearings straight and properly lay life’s 6:30 p.m. JOHN AND JULIA KROL (SH) cornerstone. Otherwise, the rest of our journey will be skewed, and our judgment clouded. We can recall Jesus’ famous rebuke of Peter, “You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings Sun., Sept. 19 8:30 a.m. +DAVID WINANDY (OLS) do.” Even he, as one of Jesus’ closest friends struggles with By John and Judy understanding things and grasping the big picture. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) a renowned and learned French Jesuit 11:00 a.m. ALL PEOPLE OF SH, SF, OLS, SSK (SSK) priest often has these words attributed to him: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” Whether they were actually Readings for the week of September 12, 2021 from his lips, they certainly mimic his thought. These wise words orient us and capture the essence of who we really are. Sun: Is 50:5-9a/Ps 116:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9 [9]/Jas 2:14-18/Mk Many people consider spirituality an option. It is no wonder 8:27-35 that they come to this conclusion when they predominantly define Mon: 1 Tm 2:1-8/Ps 40:7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17 [1Cor 11:26b]/Lk themselves using human terms and concepts.

This is Thu: 1 Tm 4:12-16/Ps 111:7-8, 9, 10 [2]/Lk 7:36-50 especially true when suffering and death enter life’s picture. If we Fri: 1 Tm 6:2c-12/Ps 49:6-7, 8-10, 17-18, 19-20/Lk 8:1-3 are only human beings having a spiritual experience, then we Sat: 1 Tm 6:13-16/Ps 100:1b-2, 3, 4, 5 [2]/Lk 8:4-15 wrongly expect our spirituality to serve us as we desire. The Next Sun: Wis 2:12, 17-20/Ps 54:3-4, 5, 6-8 [6b]/Jas 3:16—4:3/Mk 9:30-37 human expectation is that my spiritual life is something that is useful in avoiding pain, hardship, and death, not something that gives the courage to live through it!
