PAGE 3 TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME What prompts you to make the decisions you make? When confronted with a decision, whether one that is more trivial and mundane or one that is more significant and profound, we rely on guidance. That guidance can be the result of impulse and passion or the fruit of the interior voice of conscience. Decisions made on impulse and passion can be misguided and erroneous. Decisions based on conscience, or the moral voice within, will reflect the depth and maturity of our soul work. A more contemplative soul will make more contemplative decisions. A less developed conscience will make decisions based on the individual’s level of development. Conversion and a change of heart are at the core of Jesus’ message precisely because of this reality. We are works in progress. For the person on fire with the Holy Spirit and centered on God, life reflects an ever-deepening awareness and heightened sense of God’s presence and a greater willingness to do God’s will. What is happening internally is validated by what is witnessed externally. The hypocrite is the one who says yes when they really mean no. From the start, they had no desire to do the virtuous act but wanted to outwardly appear as if they did. Where are you on the road of integrity? Honesty is all that is required. God is good with that. It is okay to struggle with our decisions and wrestle with ourselves. Consciences on the path to maturity and greater depth are not always going to know what action is immediately best. We may, at first, say no to what we know is right and, after prayerful reflection and thought, come around to doing it. Conversion happens when our no changes to yes, regardless of how sinful or out of sync we may be at the time. God is anxious to welcome us to Himself. But we cannot embrace Him unless we want to. Learning to orient our gift of free will to what is of divine origin, right, and best is a discipline we must always tweak and perfect. EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP—RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS I can remember times when I received a gift that I would not have chosen for myself. At those times I certainly thought to myself that “it was the thought that counts.” I was happy that the gift-giver thought of me at all. Then there have been times when my children have not given me a gift and then chose to tell me all about what they were going to give me. They would then follow it up by saying, “it was the thought that really counts.” Really!?! I don’t think so. I could think of sending my wife on a cruise, but that is not in any way the same as going on the cruise. I think there are times when all of us think we are more generous than we are, simply because we were thinking about being generous. This way of thinking can be dangerous. Jesus teaches us to say what we mean and mean what we say. The intentionality of our actions is important, but intentionality without action is meaningless. How we act and what we give serves as evidence of our intentions and indicates where our heart truly lies. If we fool ourselves into thinking we are someone we are not, it can become difficult to see the truth. We need to look for the fruit in our lives. We need to make sure our desires and thoughts are moving us to act. You know that other saying about intentions, don’t you? Don’t pave the road to a place no one wants to end up with your intentions. Instead, let your intentions and actions lead others to another place where Jesus can be found.

Sunday Reading and Backgrounds: 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel Matthew 21:28-32 In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells a parable to a group of religious leaders. He wants them to figure out which one of the sons did his father's will. Was it the one who said yes but never showed up? Or was it the one who said no but later repented and carried out the father's wishes? Through this parable, Jesus is making it clear that sinners who repent are entering the Kingdom before the priests and elders who did not repent and believe. For reflection and discussion Sometimes people can deceive us by smooth talk. But God is never deceived. Like Jesus, we can make our lives a "yes" to God the Father in word and deed. Have you ever said "yes" to someone and then not done what you agreed to do? Did you ever say "no" to someone who asked you (like a parent or teacher) but then regretted it and changed your mind? What do you think of this? (from Sadlier) Meet Saint Maurice—Feast Day September 22 According to the hagiographical material, Maurice was an Egyptian, born in AD 250 in Thebes, an ancient city in Upper Egypt that was the capital of the New Kingdom of Egypt (1575-1069 BC). He was brought up in the region of Thebes (Luxor). Maurice became a soldier in the Roman army. He was gradually promoted until he became the commander of the Theban legion, thus leading approximately a thousand men. He was an acknowledged Christian at a time when early Christianity was considered to be a threat to the Roman Empire. Yet, he moved easily within the pagan society of his day. The legion, entirely composed of Christians, had been called from Thebes in Egypt to Gaul to assist Emperor Maximian in defeating a revolt by the peasant rebels. The Theban Legion was dispatched with orders to clear the Great Saint Bernard Pass across the Alps. Before going into battle, they were instructed to offer sacrifices to the pagan gods and pay homage to the emperor.

The intellectual tra- dition and moral teachings of the Catholic Church would infuse the life of the College, illuminating all learning as well as the community within which learning takes place. Just as the Faith would lie at the heart of Thomas Aquinas College, so too would a beautiful chapel stand at the head of its campus. From the time the College relocated in 1978 to its site near Santa Paula, plans were in place to build a glorious house of worship worthy of the building’s sacred purpose. Those plans were long deferred, however, due to financial limitations and the urgent need to establish basic campus essentials such as dining facilities, residence halls, and classrooms.

  • Commemoration of the Transfer of the Relics of Saint John Baptist De La Salle from Belgium to Rome (1937)
    26 JANUARY COMMEMORATION OF THE TRANSFER OF THE RELICS OF SAINT JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE FROM BELGIUM TO ROME (1937) Generalale: Solemnity Institute: Memoria ad libitum John Baptist de La Salle was buried in the chapel of St. Suzanne in the parish church of Saint Sever in Rouen on Holy Saturday, 8 April 1719, the day after his death. On 16 July 1734 the bones of the saint were solemnly transferred to the recently-built chapel at Saint Yon. Brother Timothy, the Superior General, invited the Brother Directors from all over France, most of whom had known the Founder, to be present for the occasion, after which the delegates remained for the fifth General Chapter. The tomb was vandalized during the French Revolution but the relics survived to be hidden in a recess in the cellar. It was not until 1835 that they were rediscovered, exhumed, identified, and placed under the seal of the Archbishop of Rouen. In 1841, the superiors obtained papal approval to have the relics moved to the Generalate, which was then in Paris, but the project was never carried out. In 1875 the relics were moved from the school on the Rue St. Lo in Rouen to the spacious basilica built to house them that was attached to the newly-opened school on the Rue St. Gervais. After the Brothers were expelled from France in 1904, the reliquary and its precious contents were taken from Rouen to Lembecq-lez-Hal in Belgium. From there, in 1937 they were transported with great ceremony to Rome where they arrived on 26 January, the anniversary of the promulgation in 1725 of the Bull of Approbation of the Institute.
