Ponder This:

“Love is the beauty

of the soul.”

—Saint Augustine

TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

J ESUS and his disciples left from there and began

a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish any-

one to know about it. He was teaching his disci-

ples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed

over to men and they will kill him, and three days after

his death the Son of Man will rise.” But they did not un-

derstand the saying, and they were afraid to question

him.

They came to Capernaum and, once inside the

house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing

about on the way?” But they remained silent. They had

been discussing among themselves on the way who was

the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and

said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the

last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he

placed it in the their midst, and putting his arms around

it, he said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as

this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me,

receives not me but the One who sent me.”

Quote for the week

“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but

each of us can work to change a small portion of

events. It is from numberless acts of courage and belief

that human history is shaped. ” —Robert F. Kennedy

Bret Scoggin, Principal

Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice

St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by JoAnn and

Chuck Baird, will resume its first Monday of the month

meetings on Monday, September 7, at 7:00 pm in the

chapel.

On Centering Prayer

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653,

says:

The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Chris-

tian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus

Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scrip-

tures…Let them remember, however, that prayer should

accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dia-

logue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to

him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the

divine oracles.’

Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the

Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to increase the

time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a

day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one

another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in

the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst

with ours.”

All members of the Centering Prayer group invite you to

join them in the joy of this spiritual discipline.

Grief Support Ministry

Crossroads

Saint Albert the Great offers two monthly grief

counseling sessions, the second and fourth Sun-

days of the month, starting September 13 and

27,12:00 pm – 1:30 pm in the Parish Office

Building, Gathering Room, (down the steps

from the church parking lot and around to the

side of the building facing the school).

Crossroads is for any person experiencing a

life-changing event, such as the death of a

loved one to other life-changing events.

JoAnn Baird would like to share this ministry

and she welcomes others’ participation.

For more information you can e-mail JoAnn at

[email protected] or leave voicemail or a

text message on her cell phone 925-699-4765.

She will get back to you.

Back to School Drive THANK YOU SAINT ALBERT CATHOLIC

deacon’s corner Conversations at Table

A PARADOX OF OUR OWN MAKING TO BE PERFECTLY RULED AND PERFECTLY FREE

Deacon Chuck Lanham

T HE QUESTION, and concomitant debate and controversy, of whether God exists or as Richard Dawkins and oth-

ers so adamantly assert is merely a delusion, is unlikely to be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction anytime in the

near or far distant future. As someone who resides firmly on the side of God, I must admit to holding certain views

that may and often do conflict with those who sit on the opposite side of the proverbial fence. While I quite often may stri-

dently disagree with my worthy opponents on this matter, I hold no animus toward anyone who may happen to disagree

with me and I hope and trust that the feeling may be mutual.

Since the very beginning it has been obvious that human beings have an insatiable appetite for doing whatever they

want, when they want, how they want, and unfortunately, more often than not let the consequences fall where they may.

There is a certain argument to be made that “What we want, Heaven help us, is simultaneously to be perfectly ruled and per-

fectly free, that is, at the same time to discover the right and the good and to create it.” What ought to be apparent from this

is that these two contradictory impulses together form a paradox that goes beyond “some high abstract level of arcane

angst.” This paradox presents us with a conundrum of the highest order: where to locate an unjudged judge, an unruled leg-

islator, a premise maker who rests on no premises, an uncreated creator of values.

Arthur Allen Leff argues:

“There is then, this one longstanding, widely accepted ethical and legal system that is based upon the edicts of an unchallengeable creator of the right and the good, in which the only job of the person who

would do right is to find what the evaluator said. Assuming that I know what the command ‘Thou shalt not

commit adultery’ means, then if (and only if) the speaker is God, I ought not commit adultery. I ought not because He said I ought not, and why He said that is none of my business. And it is none of my business

because it is a premise of His system that what He says I ought not to do, I ought not to do.

It is of the utmost importance to see why a God-grounded system has no analogues. Either God exists or

He does not, but if He does not, nothing and no one else can take His place. Anything that took His place

would also be Him…We are defined, constituted, as beings whose adultery is wrong, bad, unlawful. Thus committing adultery in such a system is ‘naturally’ bad only because the system is supernaturally consti-

tuted.”

There is much more to Leff’s argument but what has been presented here ought to be sufficient for us to begin to

realize that the aforementioned paradox can and does exist only when the supernatural laws of God are ignored or supplant-

ed by the laws instituted by man. Certainly something to ponder and consider, don’t you think?

1. Here I will leave the how, what, and when of the beginning to one’s own interpretation, although I personally am partial to Genesis, Chapters 1 & 2.

CHWC—Catholic Heart Work Camp

Saint Albert the Great is seeking one man and one woman at

least 21 years old who would be willing to chaperone the

CHWC 2016.

A qualified chaperone will need to have or be willing to have

a full background check and attend Protecting God’s Chil-

dren.

The 2016 Catholic Heart Work Camp for Reno will take

place Sunday July 3 to Saturday July 9, 2016. (This includes

the 4th of July that Monday).

What is CHWC: a detailed explanation can be found at

http://heartworkcamp.com/dates/reno-nv/, but in summary,

CHWC is a social outreach event that serves the neglected

and in need and offers the participant an opportunity to live

as Disciples of Christ through serving others. As a Chaper-

one, you will go out into the city of Reno and oversee youth

as they serve the poor in a variety of settings and needs. In

the evening you will stay overnight at Bishop Manogue High

School. (Yes: eat, sleep and shower there too) for one week.

If you are interested, I encourage you to check out the

CHWC website; and then contact Ted Krembs at the parish

office – 775-747-0722 ext 5606. St Albert has successfully

participated in this offering for two years now and those who

have gone on this journey have many wonderful things to

say about it.

Books can be purchased

from Deacon Chuck.
