9-11 Memorial Service Newly ordained Episcopal priest Fr. Terrence Buckley of Christ Church joins me at the Bellport Fire Depart-ment sponsored 9-11 memorial Service. BFD Chaplain and parishioner Frank Trotta developed a beautiful event with music from the Middle School Chorus, in-sights from community leaders, BFD reading of victim names followed by a bell rung for each one, and mem-bers of the community adding names of victims known to them. It was a moving evening.

Fr. Anthony Akabogu visited with us for three weeks this summer as a friend of Fr. Charles, our resident Brookhaven Hospital Chaplain. He writes: “...Thanks for all the additional blessings, benevolences, and other expressions of hospitality shown to me. You really made it easy for me to want to come again. I pray God to reward you with more fruitful and happy life in your parish.”

Fr. Jerry Di Spigno writes: The parish of St. Gerard Majella thanks the parish of Mary Immaculate for the statue of the Holy Family which is now in the lobby of the Church.”

Hurricane Relief As you can see from the financial reporting in this week’s bulletin, the hurricane relief collection was $5,133. Wonderful! However, the regular collection dropped to $4,565. from $7,000. the previous week. This is called “borrowing from Peter to pay Paul!” We are thankfully blessed by God to support both efforts, and not to choose one over the other.

“...AN EXCELLENT IDEA” “EFFORTLESS” “BRILLIANT”

These words were written by a parishioner about a service we offer! Now it’s even easier to use this “effortless” and “brilliant” way of donating!!

Here are a few questions that have been asked about on-line giving!

What is Faith Direct? Through our on-line giving program, FAITH DIRECT, you can use your credit card or checking account to make a one-time donation for a spe-cial occasion or make an offering while you are on vacation. You can also arrange to

have your weekly donation automatically charged to your credit card or deducted from your checking account.

How does Faith Direct work? This secure program works directly with your

bank, credit, or debit card in the same way as other electronic funds transfer pay-ments you may already conduct (such as utility bills or your mortgage payment). All transactions are processed electronically, debiting your bank account or charging

your credit\debit card automatically for the amounts you designate.

Why use Faith Direct? You benefit from earning points if you use a credit card for your weekly offering and special donations. Faith Direct also provides a year-end

summary you can use for tax purposes. The parish benefits because your weekly offering can be counted on to pay the bills even if you’re away or if weather prevents

you from attending Mass - and the bill for snow plowing has to be paid!

Ron Rolheiser Column Week of September 10, 2017 God’s Command to Kill the Canaanites In his autobiography, Eric Clapton, the famed rock and blues artist, shares very candidly about his long struggle with an addiction to alcohol. At one point in his life, he admitted his addiction and entered a rehab clinic, but he didn’t take his problem as seriously as was warranted. Returning to England after his stint in the clinic he decided that he could still drink light spirits, beer and wine, but would give up hard liquor. You can guess the result. Before long he was again enslaved inside his addiction. He returned to the clinic, to appease friends, but convinced that he was still strong enough to handle his problems on his own. But grace intervened. Just before his second rehab stint ended, he had powerful experience within which he was shaken to his very soul by the recognition of his own helplessness and the mortal danger he faced from his addiction. On the basis of that grace, he final-ly gave himself over to the program with his whole heart, accepting that he could never touch alcohol again. He has retained his sobri-ety since. His story can be helpful in understanding the meaning of certain texts in scripture which, when read literally, can give us the impres-sion that God is arbitrary, cruel, and murderous. We see such texts, for example, in the Book of Exodus and the Book of Joshua where, before entering the Promised Land, God in-structs Israel to kill all the people and all the animals who at that time inhabit that land. Why such a command to exterminate others simply because they’re living in a certain place? Obviously we need to ask ourselves: Is this really the word of God? What kind of God would give this kind of command? And what about the people being killed, aren’t they too God’s people? Does God play favorites? What about the Canaanites whom Joshua is asked to exterminate, don’t they count? What can be behind this kind of command? These texts, though divinely inspired and rich in meaning, clearly should not be taken literally. This command, while not exactly meta-phorical, is archetypal, meaning that it’s not meant to be taken literally as a command to kill what’s foreign to us, but rather as a counsel teaching that when we’re trying to enter a new way of living we must take all the necessary measures to ensure that we can properly enter that life and sustain it. Metaphorically, we need to “kill” off every element inside us and around us which, if left un-addressed, might eventually compromise and choke off the new life we’re trying to live. Jesus, in fact, gives us the identical command, except he employs a softer metaphor: Don’t put new wine into old wineskins. People in Recovery Programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous tend to more quickly understand what’s asked of us in these texts. Like Eric Clapton they’ve learned from experience that to enter the promised land of sobriety demands that one kill off all of “the Canaan-ites”, that is, accepting that all half-measures won’t work but that some brute, raw, bitter renunciations have to be made. This biblical image, the command from God to kill the “Canaanites”, can serve us well too in other areas of our lives, particularly, I believe, in our struggles with making commitments and being faithful to them. For example, consider someone entering a marriage. Like Israel they’re entering the “promised land”, but for them to establish this new life and remain faithful to it, they need to kill off a good number of things, namely, former romances, old relational habits of promiscuity and infidelity, the propensity to flirt with attractive temptations, the belief that one can have one’s cake and eat it too, and the long standing habit of putting one’s own needs first and worrying mainly about taking care of oneself. Every choice is a series of renunciations. To have a life-giving marriage means renouncing a lot of old habits, otherwise these old hab-its will eventually sabotage the marriage. There are things one must do before entering a marriage or any serious commitment. But what about those “Canaanites” that already inhabit the land we’re entering? Who might they be today? In terms of threatening to contaminate a marriage, I would submit that what must be killed off today in order to have a life-long, life-giving marriage is our present cultural ethos about sex, namely, the belief that sex need not be confined to monogamy, permanent commitment, and marriage. If we don’t kill off that ethos as we enter a marriage, we will not sustain ourselves life-long in that Prom-ised Land. To live lives of sobriety, commitment, and fidelity demands more than half-measures. An alcoholic in recovery knows that he or she cannot have it both ways. The same is true in terms of sustaining ourselves in any life-giving commitment. New wine must be put into new wineskins and this demands some bitter renunciations. God’s commands, properly understood, aren’t harsh and arbitrary. They’re wise and universal.

Antonio, TX. He can be contacted through his website www.ronrolheiser.com. Now on Facebook www.facebook.com/ronrolheiser
