19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 11, 2013
The spotlight this week shines on
Rosedale Funeral Home
Please patronize this advertiser.
19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Consider the variety of ways we use the word "service"
to describe the work of different people. Those who work in
government are said to have given themselves to public ser-
vice. Members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
are all part of the armed services. Hotel and restaurant em-
ployees are said to work in the service industries, along with
barbers, hair dressers, flight attendants, and entertainers,
although it is a bit of a stretch to imagine folks like Jimmy
Kimmel, Jay Leno, or Stephen Colbert in the same category
as the hotel housekeeping staff. Every one of these service-
oriented groups also has its caricature of the lazy, inefficient
provider. There's the often joked about drivers' license ex-
aminer. There's Beetle Bailey of cartoon fame. And comedy
skits about airline stewardesses or hotel maids abound. Yet
all of these professions continue to distinguish themselves,
despite the occasional "bad apple" that may turn up.
In the Gospel this weekend Jesus makes it clear that a
servant (that is, a believer) must be constantly vigilant. Pe-
ter asked directly, "Is the parable meant for us or for every-
one?" Jesus didn't answer him directly, but went on to add
another parable describing the prudent, industrious servant
and the lazy one.
We do not know when the Lord will return, and so we
cannot rest on our laurels as though one good deed or one
proclamation of the Gospel is enough. Yes, we have our
employment, our family, our personal needs that we must
attend to. But we are also servants of the Lord. When we
get up in the morning, while we are preparing for the day
and running through in our heads the list of everything we
must accomplish that day, one of the things we can ask our-
selves is, "What kind of a servant of God am I going to be
today?" That can give us a sense of what can guide our ac-
tions as we work though the day.

What are we celebrating on the feast of the Assumption of
Mary?
The Assumption, along with the Immaculate Conception,
are two Marian dogmas that have been infallibly defined by
the church. The Assumption proclaims the reality that Mary
was taken up body and soul into heaven. This was God's
special gift to her in response to her total giving of self to
God's plan and will.
The church believes that Mary was immaculately con-
ceived, that is, conceived without original sin. This led the
church to believe that she did not suffer one of the key con-
sequences of original sin, death and corruption. The Ortho-
dox Church celebrates the Dormition of Mary, the belief
that Mary did not die but rather fell asleep and was thus as-
sumed into heaven.
What significance does this feast have for our lives as
Christians today? This feast is above all an assurance and
hope of our continued life with God. Modeling ourselves on
Jesus and living the Christian life molded by Jesus' values,
is certainly the sure path to God. As a result, God will not
leave us orphaned or alone to suffer the emptiness of death.
Rather we believe that death is merely a transformation of
our present state into an even more glorious and eternal re-
lationship with God.
This is the hope and assurance that Mary's Assumption cele-
brates. It is a celebration of our assumption as well. She is
one of us, providing a model of what God has in store for
all who love and give of themselves to God.

NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO MAKE A GIFT
FROM YOUR IRA!
Congress passed legislation that IRA owners who are 70½ or older have the opportunity until December 31, 2013 to make qualified charitable distribution direct from their accounts to organizations such as St. Bernadette Church or St. Joseph Church, up to a maximum of $100,000. Gifts count toward meeting the minimum IRA distributions required and thus can reduce donors’ taxable income without the need to claim an itemized deduction. Because this must be handled in a certain way, anyone interested in doing this is encouraged to seek the advice of their own professional adviser before acting.
APPRECIATED STOCK AS A
CHARITABLE GIFT
One of the most satisfactory ways for a donor to give a gift
to a charitable organization, such as St. Bernadette or St.
Joseph is to use appreciated stock. Giving stocks, bonds,
and mutual fund shares that have increased in value (and
which the donor has owned for more than one year)
provides greater tax benefits to the donor than giving cash.
Not only can the donor deduct the full market value of the
securities but also they avoid paying capital gains tax on the
appreciation. Because this must be handled in a certain
way, anyone interested in doing this is encouraged to call
the St Bernadette or St. Joseph office or seek the advice of
their own professional adviser before acting.
