THE TRUE STORY OF A HOME VISIT IN 2016

It was approximately 2 P.M. this June when a call came into OLGC Parish Office. It was from a woman who desperately needed financial help. The call was immediately passed on to a St. Vincent de Paul volunteer who spoke briefly with her. A “Home Visit” was then scheduled to assess her needs. The following day, two SVdP volunteers arrived at the address and climbed up three flights of stairs to her apartment. Susan, not her real name, met them at the door. She was neat and well dressed. As the volunteers walked through the doorway, they shockingly realized that there was no furniture in the kitchen/dining area or the carpeted living room. On further observation, they saw only a small bed and bureau in the tidy bedroom. They gently asked, “Where is your furniture?” To which Susan replied, “I have none. I read, relax and also eat on my bed.” “How long have you lived here?” they inquired. Susan answered, “Two years.” Surprisingly, the lack of furniture was not the reason she was seeking assistance. The SVdP volunteers stood and talked with Susan. They learned that she was single, in her 30s and a college graduate. Susan was employed, though not in her field, by an out-of-town employer. All too often her weekly paycheck amount varied, dependent upon the incoming workload of the company. Her monthly income was barely sufficient to meet her monthly ex-penses leaving no extra money for emergencies. Although Susan was atypical of the clients the Society of St. Vincent de Paul generally helps, her needs were genuine. In this case, Susan was behind in her rent and in fear of being evicted. Therefore she was seeking rental assis-tance and St. Vincent de Paul was able to help. Though Susan did not request it, the volunteers also arranged for a kitchen table and four chairs to be delivered to her apartment. After the delivery the volunteer made a follow-up call to Susan. She expressed her gratefulness for SVdP’s help and especially for the table and chairs. “I placed a table cloth on my new table. I sat down and ate my 1st meal in my apartment at a table,” Susan proudly and enthusiastically stated. We the SVdP volunteers, thank you the parishioners of OLGC for your donations and support. Your generosity

gives us the continual ability to help Susan and numerous other neighbors in need. God Bless you.

Children age 3 through

Dear Parishioners, This week’s Gospel is the famous Parable of the Prodigal Son. The story has become synonymous with mercy when we focus on the welcome the father gives the son who is returning to him after leaving and going into a life of sin. The story often reminds us of our own journey in life, some-times straying away from God into sin, and sometimes find-ing our way back. Whenever we find our way back we find a God whose love for us has not diminished in spite of our own turning away from Him. This is a great grace, and we need to be reminded of that grace from time to time. When we have been hurt, how do we respond? On one lev-el the story is about the Father’s forgiveness of the son. On another it is about the son’s own recognition that he is in the wrong place and needs to go back and beg mercy from his father for the evil things he has done. But on still anoth-er level the story is about a brother who seems angry or at least jealous of the father’s mercy shown to his brother. There is a lot to think about in the Parable of the Prodigal Son! What do you think is going on with the older brother who is not happy that his father has welcomed the younger brother back? We are called to be like God is in our for-giveness of others. When we pray the Our Father we say “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” These words mean that I pray that the Lord will be merciful to me in the same measure I am merciful to others. If I measure out my mercy with a teaspoon rather than a bucket, shouldn’t I expect God to use the same tea-spoon in measuring out His mercy for me? The elder broth-er makes some reasonable arguments… but they are rea-sonable by a worldly standard, not by a Godly standard. In its simplest form the Parable of the Prodigal Son is about

conversion, mercy and restoration. It gets messy when we

add in the human side of the story. It might get messier still

when we make the story our own and add our own twists

and turns and personalities to the mix. That being said,

there is a reason why the father embracing his son has be-

come the iconic image from this parable for the mercy of

God… a picture that hangs in confessionals throughout the

world. Let it also remind us all of our call to be merciful to

one another, encouraging one another to turn away from

sin and to believe in the Gospel.

Father Chris

Good news.Good works.Good faith.

Boston Priests. There for us.

At Saint Stephen Parish in Framingham, the lively multicultural community with a strong Hispanic presence has become an extension of Fr. Francisco “Paco” Anzoategui’s family. “We may speak di�erent languages and have di�erent traditions, but we are not two separate communities,” said Fr. Paco. “We are one family of believers with the same faith, and we are united in a wonderful bond that we call our spiritual family.”

To help ensure a continuum of care for Fr. Paco and all our devoted priests who faithfully serve our Catholic family please support the special collection on September 17-18.
