H o u r s :

You made the team; now, get out there and play! Football season started a couple of weeks ago, and whenever the season starts, I always remember one of my favorite football movies, Rudy. It’s a movie about a kid who’s too short, too small and too slow to play football, but his only dream is to play for Notre Dame. Since the movie is over 20 years old, I don’t think I’m spoiling anything by saying that with a lot of hard work, Rudy eventually does make the team – well, at least the practice squad. By the end of the movie he actually gets to play in one game and he plays well.

It took a lot for Rudy to make the Irish football team, but Jesus has a different view about His team, the Disciples. Let me explain… In our Gospel today, we hear the disciples complaining about an outsider who was doing good works in Jesus’ name. They wanted to stop him, but Jesus replies by telling them, “Whoever is not against us is for us.” [Mk 9:40] In other words, to use our team analogy, Jesus says to His disciples, “If this man wants to be on our team, then he’s on it. As long as he’s working for the same goals we are, he can be on our team.”

That same criteria still holds today: Whoever is not against Jesus is for Him. This might be the easiest team we’ll ever try out for. If you want to be on Jesus’ side, you’ve made the team. However (you probably figured there would be a “however,” didn’t you?), on this team there are no bench-warmers. Everybody plays! We are all called to get in the game. We are all called to work for the Kingdom.

How about a short story to illustrate? One day, as usually was the case, a young waif, a little girl, stood at the street corner, begging for food, money, or whatever she could get. Now this girl was wearing very tattered clothes; she was dirty and quite disheveled.

As it happens, a well-to-do young man passed that corner without giving the girl a second look. But when he returned to his expensive home, his happy and comfortable family, and his well-laden dinner table, his thoughts returned to the young waif and he became very angry at God for allowing such conditions to exist.

In his emotional prayer that evening, he reproached God saying, “How can you let this happen? Why don’t you do something to help this girl?" Then he heard God in the depths of his being respond by saying, “I did. I created you!”

SEPTEMBER 27 • ST. JOAN OF ARC • 3

PASTOR’S MESSAGE

During the five years of his ministry at Saint Joan of Arc, Father Jimmy taught us many things. In this reflection I would like to highlight only a few of them. First in my remembrance is the great devotion that he had to Our Blessed Mother, Mary. A day never passed that he did not stop to say a prayer by the statue of Mary in our parish office. I believe he wanted to ask for her help and to dedicate the work of the day to her and in her honor. His custom of always saying the Hail Mary after communion also reminded us all of Mary's important role in our lives. His approach to ministry also honored Mary in that he was sincerely humble, filled with faith and a desire to do God's will in all things. Fr. Jimmy was also a wise counselor and spiritual director. He had a unique gift for reaching out to people when they were troubled and to help them with great sensitivity. Who among us can forget his preaching especially when he got himself worked up "with the Spirit". I have to admit that I didn't always understand every word but I always responded to the "Amen" with one of my own as did we all. One further liturgical innovation that is not in the Mass Sacramentary was his announcement toward the end of Sunday Mass that those who did not leave early would receive "a special blessing". I think that this "special blessing" did cut down on the early exodus from Mass at least when Fr. Jimmy presided. I would also like to give thanks for the wonderful priestly ministry that he demonstrated in his role as Chaplain of the Columbiettes and our Koinonia parish retreat weekend. He was so generous with his time, support and wise counsel. His creative side was expressed in his leadership of our Liturgy Committee and the special themes and enhancements of our sanctuary during Advent and Lent. Father Jimmy was full of surprises, too. One of them was when he pulled up to the rectory with his new fire-engine red Chevrolet Camaro. His was a youthful and fun-loving spirit expressed with that car. One of our school children said to me one day pointing to the Camaro "whose cool car is that?" He smiled and was delighted to find out it was Father Jimmy's. He was also a passionate gardener. You just have to look at the front of the rectory to admire his work. He planted, weeded, watered and tended all those flowers and shrubs with loving care. My only negative statement to him was "please, no more poinsettias, more orchids". He loved those poinsettias! Another Father Jimmy characteristic was his love for "hot sauce". I don't think he ever ate anything except perhaps for cereal without drowning it in "hot sauce". Father Jimmy was a very spiritual man and this expressed itself in the times he would pray in our rectory chapel and in his love of statues. He liked to live surrounded by images of his favorite saints and it was difficult to distinguish his living room from a chapel. This deep spirituality was the heart of his life and of his priesthood. As a priest he had a special love for his Filipino sisters and brothers in faith. He regularly said Mass for them, participated in all of the special religious celebrations and by force of his example and experience was recognized as the "Dean" of the Filipino clergy of our diocese.

It is difficult to capture in words the life and accomplishments of a truly exceptional and holy man. Father Jimmy had a deep faith and a profound love for the Lord. He knew well that we are not created only for this life but for eternal life. While on this earth we are asked to make a difference and help people find the love of God through our example. In recent days, Father Jimmy knew that his life was probably going to be shorter than what was to be expected. He loved this life and at the same time loved the life with God that awaited him. He was never afraid to use all that science and medicine offered to help him but he also kept his eyes on heaven. It was a great blessing for him to be able to spend his last days with his family and friends in his beloved Philippines. He passed away gently and surrounded by love. He has left a powerful and long lasting impact upon all of the Saint Joan of Arc family. We will continue his presence and compassion by the quality and faithfulness of our parish life knowing that Father Jimmy is looking over us and assisting us with his prayers. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen. May the following scripture text from Saint Paul bring some comfort to us in our grieving. "We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and place us with you in his presence. Everything indeed is for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the thanksgiving to overflow for the glory of God. Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal. For we know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent, should be destroyed, we have a building from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven."

We have a wonderful ministry here at St. Joan of Arc that is in need of volunteers.

We are looking for people who are compassionate, empathetic, caring and understanding.

The Bereavement Ministry volunteers contact the family of a loved one who has passed away. We help them to prepare and participate in the

Funeral Mass of their loved one. This includes the Readings at the Mass, the Gifts of bread and wine and other details to make

their loved one's Funeral Mass a memorable one.

We would like to have a meeting of all volunteers in the near future.

If you are interested in joining this comforting ministry, please call Cheri Popik at 561-809-6868.

We look forward to working with you.

HELP WANTED FOR IMPORTANT MINISTRY


FROM THE DIRECTOR OF HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY

This last weekend the confirmandi of St. Joan of Arc Parish joined at their annual retreat. The retreat started with confessions and ended with a wonderful Mass with the SJA community.

The young confirmation candidates are reminded that confirmation is not graduation, although it completes the sacraments of initiation into the Catholic Church. They receive the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, counsel, piety, knowledge, fortitude, understanding, and fear of God.

We may not feel as if we have received these gifts, we have to open our hearts and minds to receive and appreciate them. Too many times we forget we have them and fall into sin or "missing the mark." Confession brings us back to God's graces when we are forgiven by Him, so we can continue to love Him – openly and freely!Why would God give us these gifts if not to empower us with the ammunition and armor to defend his Universal Church? When we are confirmed, we become soldiers for Christ!

Yes – these newly knighted soldiers are young – but they are, in fact, the same age as the Blessed Mother when she decided to accept the responsibility of holding Gods greatest gift, His Son. So if she can do it, why can't our youth?

We each have a great responsibility to cherish these gifts so we can love one another as Christ loves us. Pray for our young confirmandi as they fully join our community. They need your support, they are not just the future, but the "present" of the Church!

Many blessings to all of them!

Cecilia ChinchillaSJA Director of High School Youth Ministry

SEPTIEMBRE

La Familia es Nuestra Mision

El Cardenal Péter Erdő, arzobispo de Budapest, presidente del Consejo de las Conferencias Episcopales de Europa y relator general del próximo Sínodo, Dijo que para dar a conocer el rostro humano del matrimonio, su belleza, su inherente capacidad de liberar en lugar de oprimir, el Cardenal propone el fortalecimiento de la comunidad de familias dentro de la Iglesia, una verdadera "diaconía de la familia para la familia: hay mucha gente - observa Su Eminencia - que se casa por la Iglesia pero sin pertenecer verdaderamente a la comunidad de los fieles. Quizás ni siquiera se han planteado el tema de la fe personal. Pero si durante la preparación al matrimonio entran en contacto con un conjunto de familias y llegan a hacer amistad con ellas, aunque no crezcan en la fe, permanece la amistad con estas familias. Y si la amistad dura, queda la esperanza de que más tarde puedan descubrir la identidad católica sacramental de su matrimonio”.

Nuestro proyecto de preparar “familias que ayudan familias” esta abierto para la inscripción. Necesitamos familias que quieran participar en nuestra
