Welcome to Worship, Service, Education and Stewardship

Why be registered in the parish?

All Catholics regularly participating in the liturgy are en-couraged to register with their parish community. Simply attending Mass each week does not make one a registered member of Holy Spirit parish. It is important that you officially register (complete a parish registration form) so that when you require documented information you are more easily identifiable through our parish records. Regis-tration is necessary for all Christian formation programs, marriage preparation and for registering at Catholic schools in the diocese. Serving in ministry is a wonderful way to become acquainted with your parish family and we encourage members to become involved in ministry.

New members may register at any time. You may down-load (www.holyspirit-tempe-az.org) and complete the parish registration form and mail, or return it via the col-lection basket on your next visit. If you are unable to print the form you may request one by e-mailing to par-ish@holyspirit-tempe-az.org or calling the parish office (480) 838-7474. You will also find parish registration forms (with a return envelope) in the brochure holders above the water fountains in the Narthex (main entrance of the church). There is also an online parish registration form on the parish website (holyspirit-tempe-az.org) Help us keep our records current by calling the parish office (480) 838-7474 or e-mailing parish@holyspirit-tempe-az.org with any updated infor-mation. Thank you for your assistance in keeping an accu-rate membership data base.

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time - October 6, 2019 Page 8

A LITTLE FAITH Today our readings are about faith, frustration, and how much is enough. Habakkuk is a complainer having an argument with God. Timothy is encouraging a community challenged by cowardice and the apostles want more faith than they have. Things aren’t happening fast enough for any of them or for us. All of them and we want God to do something sooner rather than later and we want God to give us a reason to believe that it will all work out. What does God do? God puts it back on them—and us—telling Habakkuk to describe the world he wants; telling the apos-tles to do more than the expected. Doing more with less is a familiar phrase today and a reminder that a little faith may be enough even for the most difficult times.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Sometimes human relationships go awry, but Christ’s choice for us is irrevocable. In marriage celebrations, the Church always recalls God’s faithfulness to help prepare married couples for enduring the inevitable rough spots. The Byzan-tine liturgy does this by adorning the couple with crowns that remind them of the martyr’s crown. The couple therefore takes on a vocation of wit-nessing to the sacredness of life in all of its suffer-ing and joy, and of keeping their eyes fixed on the banquet of heaven.

In Eastern theology, people have a liturgical vocation to give God praise, and marriage fits within that plan. It is not so much saying prayers that counts, but becoming prayer. Interestingly, in this liturgy the couple never utters a word oth-er than joining in the community’s chants; there are no marriage vows as such. There is therefore not a hint of our Western Christian sense that marriage is a legal contract. Rather, it is all about living out one’s baptismal vocation, embracing the cross, pouring oneself out in love, and open-ing to the grace of the Holy Spirit.
