    WHOEVER LOSES THEIR LIFE FOR MY SAKE WILL FIND IT

    Dear Brothers and Sisters,

    Today’s liturgy presents to us the last lines of the missionary discourse in Chapter 10 of the Gospel of Matthew (see above), by which

    Jesus instructs the 12 Apostles at the moment in which, for the first time, he sends them on mission to the villages of Galilee and Ju-

    dea. In this final part, Jesus underscores two essential aspects for the life of a missionary disciple: the first, that his bond with Jesus is

    stronger than any other bond; the second, that the missionary brings not himself, but Jesus, and through Him the love of the heavenly

    Father. These two aspects are connected, because the more Jesus is at the centre of the heart and of the life of a disciple, the more

    this disciple is “transparent” to His presence. The two go hand in hand.

    “He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me…” (v. 37), Jesus says. A father’s affection, a mother’s tenderness, the gentle

    friendship among brothers and sisters, all this, even while being very good and valid, cannot be placed before Christ. Not because he wants us to be heart-

    less and ungrateful, but rather, on the contrary, because the condition of a disciple demands a priority relationship with the teacher.

    Those who allow themselves to be drawn into this bond of love and of life with the Lord Jesus become his representatives, his “ambassadors”, above

    all in the way of being, of living. To the point that Jesus himself, in sending his disciples on mission, says to them: “He who receives you receives me, and

    he who receives me receives him who sent me” (Mt 10:40). It is important that the people be able to perceive that for that disciple Jesus is truly “the

    Lord”; He is truly the centre of his or her life, the everything of life.

    It does not matter then if, as for every human being, he or she has limitations and even makes mistakes — as long as he or she has the humility to

    recognize them; the important thing is that they not have a duplicitous heart — and this is dangerous. I am a Christian; I am a disciple of Jesus; I am a

    priest; I am a bishop, but I have a duplicitous heart. No, this is not okay. One must not have a duplicitous heart, but a simple, cohesive heart; [one must]

    not keep one foot in two shoes but be honest with oneself and with others. Duplicity is not Christian. This is why Jesus prays to the Father so that the disci-

    ples may not fall prey to the worldly spirit. You are either with Jesus, with the spirit of Jesus, or you are with the spirit of the world.

    Here our experience as priests teaches us something very beautiful, something very important: it is precisely this welcoming of the holy, faithful Peo-

    ple of God; it is precisely that “cup of cold water” (v. 42) that the Lord speaks of today in the Gospel, given with affectionate faith, which helps you to be a

    good priest! There is a reciprocity in mission too: if you leave everything for Jesus, the people recognize the Lord in you; but at the same time it helps you to

    convert each day to him, so as to renew and purify yourself from compromises and to overcome temptations. The closer a priest is to the People of God,

    the closer will he feel to Jesus, and the closer a priest is to Jesus, the closer will he feel to the People of God.

    The Virgin Mary felt in the first person what it means to love Jesus by separating herself from him, giving new meaning to family ties, beginning

    with faith in him. With her maternal intercession, may she help us to be free and happy missionaries of the Gospel. (2017) https://www.thepopespeaks.com/popes-previous-homilies-for-13th-sunday-of-the-year/

    FAREWELL MESSAGE FROM CCS PRINCIPAL

    Families of Cloverdale Catholic School and Precious Blood Parish,

    As I depart Cloverdale Catholic for the last time at the end of this month, I wanted to say good-bye and

    thank you.

    The parents of this school and all members of the parish have supported the initiatives and changes that have happened over the years. I attribute the success and growth we have experienced to the spirit of unity

    and trust we have built through our common faith. As Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.” This

    so aptly describes our community gathered together. Jesus has been in our midst and has walked with us over these past 11 years.

    Now, as I pass the torch to Mr. Heah, I do so with the utmost confidence and joy. Mr. Heah has a sincere desire to know, love, and serve Christ through Catholic education. He has a very clear vision and unfailing integrity. Each leader brings their own unique talents and gifts, and Mr.

    Heah is the perfect person to bring Cloverdale Catholic School to a new level of achievement.

    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this blessed parish community. Please be assured of my continued prayers.

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Jason Borkowski

    Thank you and Best wishes to

    Jason Borkowski as he moves on to be the Principal of Star of the Sea, White Rock

    Maria Fonseca as she moves on to be the Principal of St. Patrick’s Elementary, Maple Ridge

    “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. Whoever welcomes you wel-comes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a right-eous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward ” (Matthew 10:37-42)
