4 TWENTY SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME September 27, 2020 Faith Formation Adult Formation Studies Catholic Way Bible Study: Sue Tenny 817-307-3817 [email protected] Discovering Christ: Keith Ronck 817-966-6766 [email protected] Adult Confirmation/Studies Parish office 940-387-6223 [email protected] Adult God and His Providence by: Rev. William G. Most One God In the first article of the Apostle’s Creed we express our belief inthe existence of God. He is a pure spirit, that is, He has no matter at all, and no parts. We call Him Father, since He is the supreme source of everything, the one “from whom all Fatherhood in heaven and on earth takes its name” (Ephesians 3. 16). We call Him the Creator, since He has made all things , not out of some previously existing material, but simply out of nothing. He has infinite power. By just willing it, He can do all things. So in Genesis 1 He merely spoke and said, “Let there be light.” And light came into existence. Really, He did not speak in our sense of the word; He merely willed it, and it came into being. To describe Him we use the word attributes. These are the perfections that He has, which we attribute to Him by comparison with creatures. Some of His attributes belong to Him by His very nature; others belong to Him in relation to the world He made. The chief attributes that are His by His very nature are His unchangeability and eternity. He is unchangeable. Since He has the fullness of being, He could not change into anything higher or better, or acquire anything: “I, the Lord, do not change,” He said through the prophet Malachi (3:6). We call Him eternal, not in the sense that there always was time, and in it He always was. No, since He is unchangeable there is no past or future for Him: all is one unchanging present. So when we say that He made the world--a past expression--to His divine mind it registers as present! “Before the mountains were born, before you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are, O God” (Psalm 90:2). Ultimately, objective truth exists, whether one wants it to be so or not. Without the journey to objective truth, in which humanity necessarily participates, all becomes nonsense. Language and conversation itself would not, in fact, be possible without the objective tenets of linguistics. If objective truth did not exist we would not even be able to talk to each other, let alone share anything of substance. Simply said by Chesterton, “Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.” Humanity—endowed with reason and will—was created to live with adventure and conviction. It was not created to settle for and embrace a relativistic apathy that is rationally and existentially crippling. If every religion and ideology truly existed on the same playing field with no winner in the end, then why really believe anything? Life then comes down to mere preferences with no real incentive to invest one’s life in anything.

All who hunger, gather gladly; 4. Will you love the ‘you’ you hide Holy manna is our bread. If I but call your name? Come from wilderness and wand'ring. Will you quell the fear inside And never be the same? Here, in truth, we will be fed. Will you use the faith you’ve found You that yearn for days of fullness, To reshape the world around, All around us is our food. Through my sight and touch and sound

In you and you in me? Taste and see the grace eternal. Taste and see that God is good. Text: John L. Bell, b. 1949, © 1987, Iona Community, GIA Publications, Taste and see the grace eternal. Inc., agent

Taste and see that God is good. Communion: Come to the Feast

PSALM: Communion: You Satisfy the Hungry Heart You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat; Come give to us, O saving Lord, The bread of life to eat. 1. As when the shepherd calls his sheep, They know and heed his voice; So when you call your fam'ly, Lord, We follow and rejoice.

2. With joyful lips we sing to you Our praise and gratitude, That you should count us worthy, Lord, To share this heav'nly food.

3. Is not the cup we bless and share Offertory: The Summons The blood of Christ outpoured? 1. Will you come and follow me Do not one cup, one loaf, declare If I but call your name? Our oneness in the Lord? Will you go where you don’t know And never be the same? 4. The myst'ry of your presence, Lord, Will you let my love be shown, No mortal tongue can tell: Will you let my name be known, Whom all the world cannot contain Will you let my life be grown Comes in our hearts to dwell. In you and you in me? Text: Omer Westendorf, 1916-1998, © 1977, Archdiocese of Philadelphia. 2. Will you leave yourself behind Published by International Liturgy Publications

If I but call your name? Closing Hymn: The Kingdom of God Will you care for cruel and kind 1. The kingdom of God is justice and joy; And never be the same? For Jesus restores what sin would destroy. Will you risk the hostile stare God's power and glory in Jesus we know; Should your life attract or scare? And here and hereafter the kingdom shall grow. Will you let me answer prayer In you and you in me? 2. The kingdom of God is mercy and grace; The captives are freed, the sinners find place, 3. Will you let the blinded see The outcast are welcomed God's banquet to share; If I but call your name? And hope is awakened in place of despair. Will you set the pris’ners free

And do such as this unseen, And admit to what I mean In you and you in me? Permission to reprint, podcast, and / or stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license #A-725558. All rights reserved.

Diocese/Community News

Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope, for he who made the promise is trustworthy. We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. Letter to the Hebrews 10:23-24 “The stone the builders rejected has become the corner stone…” - MATTHEW 21:42 Jesus was rejected by the religious and political leaders of his day, as well as ordinary citizens. Living a stewardship lifestyle may cause you to be “rejected” by others in today’s society. For example, saying grace before a meal in a restaurant may attract some strange looks from some. But to others it is sign that God is alive and well! As we strive for 100 percent participation toward our parish goal of $170,000, please prayerfully consider what your family will donate to support the needs of others.
