A Beacon of Faith, Hope and Love In these troubling times in which we live, we are faced with some very serious burdens. At times they seem absolutely insurmountable. We pray; we seek advice; we look for answers; we desperately need someone to point the way. I recall a memorable homily given several years ago by my good friend and fellow priest, Father Don Cullen. He told about a couple who had come to him seeking counseling because they were having marriage problems. After listening to them, Father thought to himself, “They don’t have any problems that are all that difficult.” He advised them to go to Children’s Mercy Hospital
and visit the patients, to go to the cafeteria there and eat lunch. “Then,” he told them, “if you still think you have problems, come back and see me next week.” They called Father Cullen on Saturday and said, “We have no problems!” The solution was all in their perspective. Have we taken the time to truly examine our perspective in all this craziness? In these past Sundays in Ordinary Time, we have been following a path on our journey back to the Father, proscribed for us by the Evangelist Matthew. We have been guided by parables and stories related in the Gospels. Tomorrow, Sept. 14, we celebrate the Feast of The Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Here for us is a brilliant beacon with a far-reaching light, shining for all to see. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.” (John 3:16) The cross is a rich symbol of our faith. A cross is seen as an instrument of punishment and suffering. Through Jesus Christ’s freely embracing the Holy Cross, He gave us His all. The cross now has become for us a symbol of resurrection and redemption, a beacon of faith, hope and love. Every time we make the Sign of the Cross we assert our faith: it is a symbol of who we are and whose we are. Christ told us that, if we were to be His disciples, we must pick up our cross and follow Him; but He never told us that it would be easy. Do we have a Simon to help us carry our cross? We have Someone better! We have Christ Himself; all we have to do is ask Him. We can’t foresee how or when or where we are going to receive the help we need to carry our crosses, to bear our burdens, to solve our problems. But we can take solace and hope in the words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” In faith and love, let us pick up our cross and follow Christ – knowing that He will always be there for us, providing the help we need.

Interested in becoming Catholic? Are you curious about the Catholic faith? Have you been baptized in another Christian faith but are interested in learning about the Catholic Church?

The process of exploring the Catholic faith is called the RCIA and we would love to have you join us! RCIA classes will meet on Monday nights starting in October from 7-8:30 p.m. We may meet over Zoom if needed. Progress from one stage to the next is marked by liturgical celebrations in the midst of the parish community. If you are interested or just have questions, contact Sister Rosie 913.649.1337 or [email protected].
Contemplative Prayer This fall Ignatian prayer guides will be virtually leading a 6-week long experience of exploring the four stages of prayer that lead to contemplation. We will be reading The Armchair Mystic by Fr. Mark Thibodeaux, You will read about 5 pages per day and pray for 30 minutes and meet weekly to reflect and share about your pray experience. Weekly gatherings will be via Zoom and about 90 minutes. For more information on this, please visit https://www.ignatiancenterkc.org/events
