SEE BEYOND OUTWARD APPEARANCES
The phrase “Sunday best” has lost much of its meaning in our society today. Some lament the loss of people dressing up for church on Sunday; others think it’s a healthy sign that we’re as casual in attire gathered before the Lord as we are elsewhere. No matter which school of thought on this topic we belong to, James would probably chastise us. In either case, we are still focused on external appearance, mistaking it for some sort of favored position before God. True, James criticizes the community that favors the rich and well-dressed while ostracizing the poorly clothed, but even more he criticizes the making of distinctions, making choices based on criteria that having nothing to do with the reign of God. James might turn our attention to the reign of God described by Isaiah, in which people are healed and the earth becomes ripe to bear fruit. Jesus today is focused on this reign of God, healing a Gentile man in a region hostile to his Jewish faith, not mindful of the man’s origins or clothing or status or ability to repay. Isaiah, James, and Jesus in Mark’s Gospel all call us to look more deeply to find where the will of God needs to be done, and has been done, on earth as in heaven.

St. Benedict News…. Saint Benedict Catholic School is blessed to have Mr. Greg Tucker bring his energy and expertise to the new STEM focus. Mr. Tucker has a Mathematics/Computer Science degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and spent the major-ity of his career working as a software engineer concentrating in communications protocol testing. He was the co-founder of Hard Engineering then retired from the engineering world in 2000 at which time he started teaching Mathematics and Economics at John Paul II Catholic High School in Huntsville. After another retirement, Greg moved to Charlotte, NC and started teaching Mathematics at Charlotte Catholic High School. For five years, Greg developed an engineering curriculum for CCHS and taught the program before retiring in the Gulf Coast area. His program was developed to introduce students to numerous engineering disciplines through multiple hands-on projects utilizing latest technologies. Mr. Tucker will begin enriching the SBCS environ-ment with STEM classes for middle school, introductory lessons in the elementary school, and by improving the effectiveness of on campus technology for students and teachers.
