Voice of Saint Michael September 6, 2020
Many times, when people are new to an area and are seeking a church to join they are looking for community
– a place where they feel welcomed, honored and loved. Sometimes when people think of community they
only think of the social aspects – the gathering together for activities and fun and not about the spiritual aspects
of support, challenge and growth.
Sometimes the leaders of the community are called to give stern warnings to the members. In the first reading
Ezekiel had to challenge the wicked ways of the people as their continued behavior was leading them to
disaster. His message was not one that the people wanted to hear, but was one that they needed to hear.
Parishes are to be communities – communities of faith that are joined together in love and support to continue
the mission of Jesus Christ in the world. The commitment to a community is not always easy and can be a
challenge to many as differences arise between the members. Often personalities clash and opposing ideas
drain the energy and tolerance of others. A saying I heard in the seminary is when two or three are gathered in
His name – there is bound to be an argument.
Parish communities are not perfect. There are often disagreements, conflicts, controversies and difficulties
between members. The gospel today tells us that these situations should not be ignored but faced head on. If
the situation is ignored, it often begins to fester and then it can cause real harm to a community. People divide
into opposing camps destroying the unity of the Christian community, the very unity that Christ calls us to.
We live in a society where people dig their heels into the sand and refuse to listen to the other side. They are
unwilling to hear other opinions. This happens in politics, in families and sadly even in the Church. The
television, radio, newspapers and social media are filled with people taking extreme viewpoints and are
unwilling to listen to others and always want to have the last word.
Our faith is not lived in a vacuum; it is to be lived in a community. Our faith is not only about what we
believe it is also about how we live our faith and how we treat one another. We gather around the altar to
make our faith a part of our lives. We are challenged by the Gospel to truly love and care for each other –
even those who may hold different opinions then our own. We are called to build one another up and not tear
one another down. Building a community of believers rooted in Christ is difficult, but it is worth it especially
when we truly care for each other and strive to live in mutual love and harmony.
Labor Day
Yes, Monday is Labor Day and this generally marks the end of summer. It seems that we have not had a
spring nor a summer with all the restrictions placed upon us due to COVID-19. Labor Day has its origin in
the Labor movement. It grew out of a celebration and parade in honor of the working class by the Knights of
Labor in 1882 in New York. Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American
workers – recognizing their contributions that led to the strength and prosperity of our nation.
We celebrate this day in honor of labor, and we are reminded that there are many people in our nation and our
neighborhood who are in need of work. Many are underemployed (working at jobs below their skill level) and
many still seek a fair and just wage. Today let us be grateful for those who labor long hours to provide for
their families. They are the backbone of our nation. St. Joseph is the patron of workers for he labored with his
hands as a carpenter to provide for Mary and Jesus.
Let us also pray for those who struggle and seek employment that they may be successful in their search. St.
Cajetan is the patron of those seeking employment. St. Cajetan – pray for us!

Our Volunteers
A special thank you to our volunteers that serve as greeters, ushers and sanitizers... Because of our volunteers,
we have been able to offer public Masses, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, funerals, baptisms, weddings,
wedding rehearsals, First Holy Communions and Confirmations.
We are always looking for new volunteers. We especially need volunteers for our daily Masses. Volunteers
are not assigned to events, but rather are scheduled only if they are available. If you are interested in
volunteering, please email reopen@saintmike.com.
Update
We are slowly catching up with our backlog of Sacraments. We have celebrated three First Holy
Communions, four Confirmations and celebrated many baptisms. I hope that by the end of September, we
will be all caught up.
In light of the current backlog and the limitations placed upon us, we are going to keep our current Mass
schedule at least until the end of September. As a reminder, our current Mass schedule is:
Monday – Friday at 7:30AM. Reservations required.
Saturday evening at 4:30PM. Reservations required.
Sunday Morning at 7:30, 9:30, and 11:30AM. Reservations required.
Sunday Afternoon in Spanish at 1:30PM. Reservations required.
Confessions on Saturday afternoon from 3:00PM – 4:00PM. No reservation required.
It is my hope that we will begin a Saturday morning Mass in October. We are recording and placing on our
website Sunday and daily Masses. Let us pray for an end to this pandemic.
In Christ’s love,
Fr. Frank

Cleaning the cup
Pencil Preaching for
Readings for Tuesday, August 25, 2020
By Pat Marin
Food for thought in this election year
“Let no one deceive you”
—2 Thessalonians 2:3,2 Thess 2:1-3a; Matt 23:23-26
St. Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians are the earliest texts
preserved in the New Testament, probably written in the early
50s. The first Christian communities in Gentile territory were
experiencing two crises. One was the death of some of their
members and the second was the expectation that Jesus would
have returned by then to share his resurrection with the faithful
at the end of history. Preoccupation with an imminent Parousia
was disrupting life in Paul’s churches, with some abandoning
daily routines and others being gripped by fear.
Paul comforts those grieving the loss of loved ones and
scolds others who are spreading fear and paralysis. Two decades
after Jesus’ departure, it was becoming increasingly clear that
his redemptive work through his church was to be extended into
history, so it was time to commit to building the Beloved
Community he had preached.
In today’s Gospel, Matthew reminds his community that
missing the big picture was one of Jesus’ main criticisms of the
scribes and Pharisees during his earthly ministry. Their
hypocrisy and small-mindedness were focused on minor laws
while neglecting the Great Commandment to love. To parade
their righteousness in public, they boasted that they paid tithes
even on their herb gardens, Jesus pointed out, while neglecting
the demand for mercy and justice. Jesus indicts them further by
comparing these leaders to cups cleaned on the outside but filled
with corruption and self-indulgence.
Both Matthew and Paul were guiding their churches to be
credible witnesses as the only way to spread the Good News of
Jesus. Faith in him and his risen presence was about now—how
he inspired them to devote their daily lives to sharing God’s
peace and reconciliation. Whether the world ended sooner or
later, Jesus was already with them, building the Kingdom of
justice and love.
God’s Word comes to us at a time when our political parties
are offering competing visions for the future of the nation. One
familiar strategy used by both campaigns is to claim that the
other’s vision will be “the end of the world” for the
country. Desperation replaces discourse, image becomes more
important than issues, voting loses its solemn duty to discern
values and becomes a battle cry for Armageddon between sides
that demonize each other. What leader will be able to “bind up
the nation's wounds” after an election defined as apocalyptic?
Will politics “with malice toward none and with charity for all”
take up the post-election work of cleaning both the inside and
the outside of the cup if national unity has been effectively
poisoned by partisanship?
St. Paul warns us not to be deceived but to hold fast and stand
firm in what we have been taught. “May our Lord Jesus Christ
himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us
everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace,
encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed
and word” (2 Thess 2:17).

In the Beatitudes, Jesus tells us what makes the
Kingdom of God different from the kingdom of this John Andrew Ramsey,
world. Along with humility, a thirst for justice, a son of Amy and Mark
nd purity of heart, Jesus lists mourning as one of the
keys to belonging to His kingdom.
One of the most important things we pro-lifers can do is to mourn for all the unborn children who have been
killed in their mother's wombs. A "National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children” will be held on
September 12.
What is the Day of Remembrance all about?
It's about gathering at memorial sites dedicated to aborted children -- including their burial places -- to
mourn for them and pray for an end to abortion.
It's about providing all who are suffering with guilt and shame over abortion to publicly mourn for their
children and seek God's grace and mercy.
It's about declaring to our whole society that we will never forget the 60 million innocent children whose
lives were sacrificed to legal abortion.
If you would like to participate, mark your calendar now and plan to take part in the National Day of
Remembrance for Aborted Children. You can find locations and more information at abortionmemorials.com.

Muchas veces, cuando la gente es nueva en el área y buscan una iglesia dónde participar, ellos buscan una co-
munidad – un lugar donde se sientan bienvenidos, honrados y amados. Algunas veces cuando se piensa en
una comunidad, ellos sólo piensan en los espetos sociales – las reuniones para actividades y la diversión, y no
sobre los aspectos espirituales de apoyo, reto y crecimiento.
Algunas veces los líderes de la comunidad son llamados a dar estrictas advertencias a los miembros. En la
primera lectura, Ezequiel tuvo que desafiar el comportamiento malvado de la gente, pues su comportamiento
continuo los conllevaba al desastre. Su mensaje no era algo que la gente quería oír, sino que era lo que nece-
sitaban escuchar.
Las parroquias deben ser comunidades – comunidades de fe que se reúnen con amor y apoyo para continuar la
misión de Jesucristo en el mundo. El compromiso de ser una comunidad no es siempre fácil y puede ser un
reto para muchos, pues las diferencias surgen entre sus miembros. Con frecuencia, las personalidades chocan
e ideas opuestas desgastan la energía y tolerancia de los demás. Un dicho que escuché en el seminario es que
cuando dos o tres se reúnen en su nombre – existe de seguro un desacuerdo.
Las comunidades parroquiales no son perfectas. Existen por lo regular desacuerdos, conflictos, controversias
y dificultades entre sus miembros. El evangelio de hoy nos dice que estas situaciones no deben ser ignoradas
sino enfrentadas. Si se ignora la situación, muchas veces se empieza a corromper y entonces puede causar un
verdadero daño a la comunidad. La gente se divide en grupos opositores, destruyendo la unidad de la comuni-
dad cristiana. A la única unidad a la que Cristo nos llama.
Vivimos en una sociedad donde la gente oculta su cabeza en la arena y se rehúsan a escuchar a los opuestos.
No están dispuestos a escuchar otras opiniones. Esto sucede en la política, en las familias y tristemente hasta
en la Iglesia. La televisión, la radio, los periódicos y los medios sociales están llenos de gente que llevan al
extremo los puntos de vista y no están dispuestos a escuchar a los demás y siempre quieren tener la última pa-
labra.
Nuestra fe no se vive en una aspiradora; es para vivirse en una comunidad. Nuestra fe no es sólo en lo que
nosotros creemos, es también sobre cómo vivimos nuestra fe y en cómo nos tratamos unos a los otros. Nos
reunimos alrededor del altar para hacer de nuestra fe una parte de nuestra vida. El Evangelio nos reta a amar-
nos de verdad y cuidarnos uno al otro – aun a quienes tienen diferentes opiniones que las nuestras. Somos
llamados a construirnos uno al otro y no a destruirnos uno al otro. Construir una comunidad de creyentes
arraigados en Cristo es difícil, pero vale la pena, especialmente cuando en verdad cuidamos uno del otro y lu-
chamos por vivir en amor mutuo y en harmonía.
Día del Trabajo
Sí, el lunes es el Día del Trabajo (Labor Day) que por lo general indica el final del verano. Parece que no
tuvimos una primavera ni un verano por todas las restricciones impuestas debido al COVID-19. El Día del
Trabajo tiene su origen en el movimiento laboral. Se desarrolló de una celebración y un desfile en honor a la
clase trabajadora por los Caballeros del Trabajo (Knights of Labor) en 1882 en Nueva York. El Día del Tra-
bajo es dedicado a los logros sociales y económicos por los trabajadores estadounidenses – reconociendo su
contribución que conllevó a la fuerza y prosperidad de nuestra nación.
Celebramos este día en honor al trabajo, y nos recuerda que existe mucha gente en nuestra nación y en nuestro
vecindario que necesitan un trabajo. Muchos están con poco trabajo (trabajando bajo su nivel de capacidad) y
muchos aún buscan un salario justo. Hoy, agradezcamos a quienes trabajan largas horas para proveer para sus
familias. Ellos son la vértebra de nuestra nación. San José es el patrón de los trabajadores, pues él trabajó
con sus manos como carpintero para proveer para María y Jesús.
También oremos por quienes luchan y buscan empleo para que tengan éxito en su busca. San Cayetano es el
patrón de quienes buscan empleo. San Cayetano -- ¡ruega por nosotros!
