From the Pastor’s Corner
CYCLE C 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
F rom now on a household of five will be divided, three against two
and two against three." What a sad image Jesus paints in today's
Gospel. Causing family strife--fathers against sons and mothers
against daughters--is not the effect we like to imagine Jesus having
on people. But as he says today, "Do you think that I have come to establish
peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division." The fact is, and
always has been, that not everyone chooses to follow Christ. This causes conflict.
Perhaps it is most tragic when this tension takes place within families. When certain members of the family
desire to live a full Christian life, to follow the commandments and worship God as he asks, this can be irritating
at best and infuriating at worst to other family members who want nothing to do with Jesus or his church. But faith
must persist in spite of domestic turmoil. Following Jesus is the ultimate good; preserving peace is secondary. In a
sense, today's Gospel gives faithful Christians permission to move forward in their faith even if it doesn't make
everybody happy.
However, all of this needs to be understood in the light of Jesus' desire to bring peace. He often used the
greeting, "Peace be with you," and clearly promised peace to his disciples. Today's Gospel should not be taken to
mean that Jesus desires division. Rather, he is acknowledging the fact that division will inevitably result as people
declare their differing allegiances. But thankfully, when we align ourselves with Christ, we are also uniting
ourselves to the One who can restore peace even in the midst of conflict. So when we see turmoil arise, let's call
upon the power of the true Prince of Peace.
What are we celebrating on the feast of the Assumption?
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 conceived, that is,
conceived without original sin. This led the church to believe that she did not
suffer one of the key consequences of original sin, death and corruption. The
Orthodox Church celebrates the Dormition of Mary, the belief that Mary did
not die but rather fell asleep and was thus assumed into heaven.
What significance does this feast have for our loves as 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 relationship with God.
This is the hope and assurance
that Mary’s assumption celebrates.
It is a celebration of our
assumption as well. She is one
of us, providing a model for what
God has in store for all who love
and give of themselves to God.

Checks or donations after that date should be made
payable to Church of St. Christopher and St. Sylvia Parishioners will be receiving two separate
contribution letters at the end of this year. One
statement will include contributions made to the
Church of St. Christopher beginning January 1, 2016
and ending August 31, 2016. The other will note all
contributions made to the Church of St. Christopher
and St. Sylvia from September to December 2016.
We sincerely thank all of our parishioners and
friends who have helped us, and continue to help
us, through this merger.
God bless you all!
There are many reasons adults seek to find out more about the Catholic Church. It makes no difference if you have been raised in another denomination, have no church affiliation or experience or if you were never baptized. You may have started out Catholic but never completed your initiation with the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. Whatever your reasons, know there are others like yourself who desire a closer relationship with Christ and a community in which to thrive and worship to help deepen that relationship. RCIA helps individuals journey to a deeper understanding of Jesus and the Catholic faith. It is a life changing journey. To find out if this is right for you or for more information,
please contact Eileen Cassidy at 845-758-3732 or [email protected]
BACK TO SCHOOL BLESSING:
