MASS • TODAY’S READING

Basilica First Reading — The just ones, because of their Saturday Vigil faith, shall live (Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4). 5:30 PM Sunday Mass Psalm — If today you hear his voice, harden not 7:30, 9:15, 11:00 AM, (12:45 PM, and 5:30 PM) your hearts (Psalm 95). Holy Days: 9:15 AM, 12 NOON and (5:30 PM) Second Reading — Bear hardship with the strength that comes from God (2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14). Chapel Daily Morning Mass — The apostles said to Jesus, “Increase Monday — Friday (7:00 AM) our faith” (Luke 17:5-10). Noon Mass Monday, Wednesday, Friday Noon Communion Services In the Gospel today, the disciples make a simple and earnest Tuesday, Thursday request of Jesus, “Increase our faith.” We can all relate to this, Saturday Morning Mass who does not need and want more faith? Jesus has a bit of a stern response for his followers, telling them that they have so 8:30 AM little faith it is not even as big as a mustard seed, and that Saturday Reconciliation their role is that of the dutiful and unacknowledged servant, 9:30 AM — 10:30 AM who serves the master without recognition or expressions of gratitude. Jesus is always trying to prepare his disciples for the St. Francis of the Redwoods future he knows awaits them, when they will need to continue Big Sur, CA his ministry without his physical presence, in the face of many dangerous and life threatening obstacles they will have Bilingual Mass (Español/English): continue to serve their master, Jesus, faithfully without praise st rd 1 and 3 Saturday (6:00 PM) or encouragement to sustain them. As disciples of the Lord, we too are called to a life of service without the expectation of recognition or thanks. In Psalm 95 we have the familiar image of God as the good shepherd. The sheep follow the shepherd because they know and READINGS FOR THE WEEK trust him. Sheep do not have very good eyesight but do have a keen sense of hearing. They know the voice of the shepherd, and follow his call. Sometimes it is easy for us to lose track of the voice Monday: Jon 1:1 — 2:2, 11; Jon 2:3-5, 8; of God in our lives, there is a lot of competing noise! The psalm is a Lk 10:25-37 reminder that we need to follow the example of the sheep, and quiet the other voices in our hearts and minds to hear and listen to the voice of our Shepherd. In his letter to Timothy, St. Paul exhorts him to “ stir into flame Tuesday: Jon 3:1-10; Ps 130:1b-4ab, 7-8; the gift God give you.” We are blessed with gift of faith, but at Lk 10:38-42 times we need to fan the flames. Fires be tended, if not stoked and fed with fuel, a fire will die out of its own accord. The spirit of power and love in each of us makes us capable of being a place of safety and warmth for others, but only when Wednesday: Jon 4:1-11; Ps 86:3-6, 9-10; our own faith is nourished and kept burning brightly. How can we tend the flame of our faith? Through the sacraments, the Lk 11:1-4 study of God’s word, and taking faith based action in our world to act as Jesus did, as a servant who works tirelessly for those in need. One of the titles of the Pope used at the beginning of Papal Bulls is “servus, servorum Dei,” “servant of the servants Thursday: Mal 3:13-20b; Ps 1:1-4, 6; of God, a reminder that our faith is first and foremost a call to Lk 11:5-13 service and care. What are you doing to kindle the gift of God within you? How are you acting on your faithful call to service?

LITURGY VAULT “The liturgy is celebrated for God and not for ourselves; it is His work; He is the subject; and we must open ourselves to Him” (Pope Benedict XVI, 3 October 2012).

THE : THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST – PART 4 Lesson 26 from the Baltimore Catechism: The Holy Eucharist, continued…

This week we will conclude our look at what the old Baltimore Catechism teaches regarding the Sacrament of the Eucharist:

What happened when Our Lord said: “This is My body… this is My blood”? When Our Lord said, “This is My body”, the entire substance of the bread was changed into His body; and when He said, “This is My blood”, the entire substance of the wine was changed into His blood.

Did anything of the bread and wine remain after their substance had been changed into Our Lord's body and blood? After the substance of the bread and wine had been changed into Our Lord's body and blood, there remained only the appearances of bread and wine.

What do we mean by the appearances of bread and wine? By the appearances of bread and wine we mean their color, taste, weight, shape, and whatever else appears to the senses.

What is the change of the entire substance of the bread and wine into the body and called? The change of the entire substance of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ is called Transubstantiation.

Is Jesus Christ whole and entire both under the appearances of bread and under the appearances of wine? Jesus Christ is whole and entire both under the appearances of bread and under the appearances of wine.

How was Our Lord able to change bread and wine into His body and blood? Our Lord was able to change bread and wine into His body and blood by His almighty power.

All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Matthew 28:18).

Does this change of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ continue to be made in the Church? The change of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ continues to be made in the Church by Jesus Christ, through the ministry of His priests.

When did Christ give His priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood? Christ gave His priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood when He made the apostles priests at the Last Supper by saying to them: “Do this in remembrance of Me”.

How do priests exercise their power to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ? Priests exercise their power to change bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ by repeating at the Consecration of the Mass the words of Christ: “This is My Body… this is My blood”.

Why does Christ give us His own body and blood in the Holy Eucharist? Christ gives us His own body and blood in the Holy Eucharist: • to be offered as a sacrifice commemorating and renewing for all time the sacrifice of the cross; • to be received by the faithful in Holy Communion; • to remain ever on our altars as the proof of His love for us, and to be worshiped by us.

DOCENT CORNER AND STEWARDSHIP

ST.

The beautifully restored statue on the left side in the front of the Church is St. Francis of Assisi. This statue originally belonged to Mission Santa Cruz but was eventually moved to Mission Santa Barbara. It was discovered in the garden by Carmel Mission curator Harry Downie who traded some Indian baskets for the badly deteriorated statue. Harry fixed it up and installed it in the Carmel Mission.

Francis was really named Giovanni di Bernardone. He was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant and was known as Francesco because his father liked to trade with France. That’s how he got the name “Francis.” He was known for drinking, partying and enjoying the company of his many friends.

He became disillusioned with the world and, after joining a military expedition, was taken prisoner and spent a year as a captive. Afterwards, he spent much time in lonely contemplation, asking God for enlightenment. He decided to devote himself to a life of apostolic poverty.

In 1209, Francis founded a new religious order; the Franciscan Order or "Friars Minor". The term Friars is a term derived from "brothers" in Latin. His companions came from all walks of life and Francis practiced true equality by showing honor, respect and love to all people.

His final years were filled with suffering as well as humiliation. He received the , the marks of the nails and the lance wound that Christ suffered, on his body. He went blind and suffered from ill health and died at the age of 45.

St. Francis is considered the first Italian poet by literary critics and his writings are considered to have great literary value, as well as religious value. He is the patron saint of animals, birds, merchants and the environment. His feast day is 4 October.

Dear Friends of Carmel Mission,

Colman’s English mustard was a constant feature on our dinner table at home. As a child , I would love to be given the task of mixing the mustard. It came in a small tin box filled with golden powder. The was to add just the right amount of water, so that the consistency of the mustard would be almost perfect. Mustard now comes in many different types of containers, in tubes , in glass jars, in squeezable plastic bottles. I still prefer to search for the tin of Colman’s English and to mix my mustard. A little mustard adds so much flavor to steak or other meats, or even to a vegetarian sandwich. In our Gospel this weekend. Jesus tells us that the mustard seed is one of the smallest of seeds, but that when planted and watered, it can grow into a tree, where birds can nest and find shelter. Our Savior compares the mustard seed to faith. He tells us that even with a little faith, we can achieve great results, we can move mountains. I can certainly think of times in my own life where my faith was weak. when I had many doubts and questions, but when nevertheless I took the risk of summoning the small seed of faith that I still possessed and turned to God for assistance. He always answered my call. God is on our side. He is waiting for our call. He can turn our mountains into molehills Even a little faith can add so much flavor to our life. It’s a risk worth taking.

Blessings Fr. Paul
