WORSHIP The Holy Father’s — September 17, 2017 From Green to Gold September Prayer Last weekend was a great time for sports fans from Wisconsin. The Brewers swept the Cubs in a battle for the division lead. In regards to football Intention the Wisconsin Badgers won on Saturday, and the Green Bay Packers defeated Evangelization: Parishes at the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. I realize locally the NFL team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, so for Washington fans last weekend wasn’t something the service of the mission to be too excited about. It was an indication that the Redskins certainly have a That our parishes, animated by few things to work on. The Packers on the other hand looked pretty good, espe- a missionary spirit, may be cially our defense. There is some work to be done on offense, but overall the season opener is hopefully a good indication of how things will be this year. places where faith is Beating a formidable team like the Seahawks, 17-9, who are also predicted to do communicated and charity is well this season, is a great way to start the season. No doubt we have to do something similar with our spiritual lives. There is always something to work seen. on for we are not perfect. We have to strive for holiness and avail ourselves to God’s grace, which pulls us through the bad times and bears great fruit in those good times that come our way. Weekly Readings Last Sunday I spoke about Aaron Rodgers, the Packers quarterback, during my homily at the Masses I offered. I made reference to an ESPN Maga- zine article based on an interview with the record-setting quarterback. Some consider Rodgers the best quarterback in the NFL right now. Some contest that, particularly because he has been to only one Super Bowl, which the Packers won. Aaron was asked if it bothered him that he has only won one national championship. To his credit, in my opinion, he said it didn’t, because for him football is not the end all, be all of his life. As I mentioned last week, for some that might be considered “heresy.” It did not concern me; instead I was dis- turbed by something else Rodgers said in this interview. I am repeating some of my comments from last Sunday’s homily, for which I apologize, but there is an Twenty-Fourth Sunday important lesson to be learned here. I knew Rodgers was not Catholic, but he in Ordinary Time was raised a devout Christian. He said during this interview that he met a non- denominational minister from Michigan. This pastor is known for his progres- Sunday sive approach to the spiritual life and also is an inspirational speaker, whom the Packers had brought in to speak to the team. Aaron was convinced by this min- Sir 27:30—28:7; Rom 14:7-9; ister that God imposes no rules on us. The result—Aaron decided that while he Mt 18:21-35 still believed in God, he now realized God did not have to have a major role in his life. Big mistake! That truly is concerning and does perhaps explain some of Monday the other aspects of Aaron’s life, such as his current alienation from his family. We need God. He needs to be the center of all we do. He has to be the focus of 1 Tm 2:1-8; Lk 7:1-10 our lives. It really is a matter of our salvation. That is why I write this column each week. That is why I offer Mass every day. That is why we pray and do good Tuesday works. 1 Tm 3:1-13; Lk 7:11-17 We can do good things for others and not have God as part of our lives. But then when bad things happen, such as a hurricane or two, an earthquake, Wednesday or a confrontation with hatred, we can turn to Our Lord and find some interior peace and consolation. Without Him we deprive ourselves of that grace and 1 Tm 3:14-16; Lk 7:31-35 without the grace things can easily seem hopeless. It may even lead us to won- der why we should try to go on living. Jesus Christ changes all of that. I write Thursday this column on the sixteenth anniversary of “9/11.” That infamous day could Eph 4:1-7, 11-13; Mt 9:9-13 have been cause for many to lose hope, but as a nation we did not, in part be- cause, despite how things often seem to be today, we were still a God-fearing people. I pray we continue to be. I’m not sure Aaron Rodgers is anymore, but Friday there is hope for him for as that article/interview indicated, he is searching for 1 Tm 6:2c-12; Lk 8:1-3 meaning. That is a good sign. I certainly hope the Packers have a great season and that last Sunday’s win was just one of many more to come this season, in- Saturday cluding against Atlanta this Sunday. More importantly, I hope Aaron returns whole-heartedly to God and that each of us turns to Him always. 1 Tm 6:13-16; Lk 8:4-15 There are many opportunities to make sure Christ is the focal Sunday point of our lives. You will find a number of them listed right here in this bulle- tin, such as the new Marian consecration effort, organized by Jean Heinzelman. Is 55:6-9; Phil 1:20c-24, 27a; She was in the parish hall after all morning Masses last Sunday and will be Mt 20:1-16a again this Sunday. There is the K of C-sponsored MESA collection, which be- gins this weekend. There are the many other options offered throughout the year here at St. Veronica’s. Please check them out. ~ In Christ, Fr. Kleinmann 3

The help of St. Veronica’s Parishioners is desperately needed in providing PERSONAL ITEMS for those in NEED!
The St Veronica’s Knights of Columbus are sponsoring another personal items drive to support MESA (Madison Emergency Services Association, Inc.) in Madison County, VA. The poor of this region of Virginia are in desperate need of the personal items that allow them to go to work and school AND to keep their homes clean.
St. Veronica’s will be collecting the following items: soap, shampoo, tooth brushes, toothpaste, dental floss, deodorant, feminine products, diapers (sizes 4,5,6), baby wipes, toilet paper, tissue, laundry detergent, dish washing liquid (NOT for dishwashers), Lysol, multipurpose cleaners, trash bags (large), adult incontinence items, antiseptic cream and band aids. Gas gift cards* (BP, Exxon or Shell) in any increments are greatly appreciated.
Will you help us in meeting the personal needs of our neighbors in Madison, Culpepper, Orange and Rappahannock Counties?
Please drop off donated items at the church in or near the wooden bins located in the north and south vestibules of the Church from Saturday September 16th through NOON Sunday September 24th.
*You can drop off the gas cards at the parish office or drop in the mail slot located in parish hall.
All donations collected will be picked up by MESA on Sunday September 24th.
