TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
SEPTEMBER 13, 2015
September 23 - November 1
A Word from
Our Pastor Fr. Ron Weissbeck
My dear family in Christ,
Once we get beyond Labor Day, those nice long
summer weekends come to an end and activities stay closer
to home. For some of us there is now the added treat of
entertainment through sports. I must confess—although
I’m not one who watches much T.V., that is certainly not
the case when it comes to the “liturgy” of football.
I have been engaged in Catholic worship since I
was 10-years old. In the pre-Vatican II days it was limited
to serving every day, but with the changes to the vernacular,
all who come to worship are called to be involved. As I
have said before, I truly feel privileged to be an integral part
of the way we go about worshipping the LORD here at St.
John’s. There is so much participation through our various
ministries, and the enthusiastic singing we have here is a
rare thing not offered at every parish where I have been.
I often wonder why the “liturgy” of sports is so
much more captivating than the worship of God. It is
fascinating how people ready themselves for a sporting
event. Preparation to detail includes food, drink, and fellow
“worshippers.” At the stadium the mascot, cheerleaders,
and team colors are prominent. For most, the names of the
players are household conversation, and for the diehards,
family members are taught about sports at a very early age.
Even babies wear onsies emblazoned with mom or dad’s
favorite team mascot or logo.
What would it be like if 10% of this energy were
channeled into the preparation for the liturgy, the work of
the people, in gathering for the celebration of the
Eucharistic feast? It is not just the director of liturgy,
musicians, ministers, deacon, and priest who have to get
ready—we all do.
I admit that I am a Broncos fan, and there was a
time when my Mondays would be ruined should they have
lost the game. I take my Broncos very seriously. But let’s
not forget to examine what we value and how we make
our preparations. Sports are just one example. What a
difference there
would be if we
would invite a
family
member, a neighbor,
or friend to the
Divine Liturgy and
let the Holy Spirit
“intoxicate” us.
From September 23rd through November 1st, you are
invited to join other Christians for a 40 Days for Life
campaign—forty days of prayer and fasting for an end to
abortion. You are also invited to stand and peacefully pray
during the 40-day vigil in front of Boulder Abortion Clinic,
1130 Alpine Avenue in Boulder, and to help spread the
word about abortion to your community. If you would
like more information, especially if you want to volunteer,
please contact Dave Rusch, 303-579-1162, or
[email protected]. You may also visit
https://40daysforlife.com/local-campaigns/boulder/. There
will be a campaign kickoff meeting at Sacred Heart of
Mary Catholic Church, 6739 South Boulder Road in
Boulder at 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 20th. All are
welcome to attend.
Holy Hour of Adoration
For the 40 Days for Life campaign, St. John’s will set aside
a Holy Hour of Adoration in our Immaculate Heart of
Mary chapel each Wednesday of the campaign from 7:00
to 8:00 p.m., from September 23rd through October 29th.
We will pray for an end to abortion, the babies, parents,
grandparents, siblings, and abortion clinic workers.
You Are
Not
Alone…
It’s normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss
of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one’s heart, a
hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the
emptiness. Project Rachel Post Abortion Healing Hotline:

Treasures from Our Tradition
and Outreach
It seems obvious to us that Jesus Christ is the Lord of
second chances. We need look no further than Peter’s
denial and rehabilitation for proof. Yet early Christians
were more tentative with the gift of forgiveness. For them,
every Sunday was an experience of the Lord’s power to heal
and forgive, yet there were three sins that placed persons at
the margins of the community’s life. In some places, the
rift caused by these sins was permanent. The sins were
apostasy (denial of the faith), adultery, and murder. They
were particularly detested because of their power to divide
and even scatter the community gathered around the Lord’s
table. Fragile and persecuted communities could crumble
and disappear under the weight of a harm done by a public
sinner. Sinners were excluded from the community in the
hope that “tough love” would help them come to their
senses and experience deeper conversion. Inevitably, lists
of grave sins grew longer as various bishops added their
personal pet peeves to the roster, and more people were
required to do public penance. For them, reconciliation was
a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Many sinners accepted
their condition and hoped for a chance at a deathbed
reconciliation by anointing. With more and more people
permanently on the outs, the Church began to struggle
toward the light of the Lord’s unfailing gift of
reconciliation.
By John Williams
The demographics of our food bank clientele has
modified over the years due to the fact that we deliver a
large percentage of our weekly boxes. This service has
proven extremely helpful to shut-ins, the elderly, and
clients with physical or mental disabilities. In addition to
these categories, there are quite a few families with a
single parent who rely on us to help them feed their
children. Most of these single parents have the
responsibilities of trying to hold down some sort of
employment in addition to spending time with and raising
their children.
We have clients who live in their car and drop by
to pick up their weekly food box. Since they have no way
to cook, they are limited on what items they can accept.
They will accept lunch meat, cheese, milk, bread, peanut
butter, jelly, yogurt, fresh fruits, and vegetables. We have
clients who wish to pay us back by becoming volunteers.
And sometimes we have clients who thought they were in
good shape, but found out that doing without the food box
made quite an impact.
Thanks to all of our generous parish community
who volunteer and donate in order for us to serve those in
need in our Longmont community.

Servant
Sometimes the hour and the person meet. Sometimes,
when a task or mission is set upon our shoulders, we know
we must meet our responsibilities and we are ready. These
are heady and invigorating times. The first reading and the
gospel proclamation today are intimate glimpses of a
commencement, an inauguration of a challenging future. In
both readings, a sense of gravity prevails.
The first reading is from the mysterious Servant Songs
from the book of Isaiah. The person is steadfast and brave.
His courage and bravery are not located in his stout heart,
but in God. We are reminded, “The Lord GOD opens my
ear that I may
hear” (Isaiah 50:4),
so the servant
understands the
mission. And
twice, “The Lord
GOD is my
help” (50:7, 9), so
that the servant can
endure the coming
struggle.

Every year the Office of Marriage and Family Life
Ministries invites couples throughout the Archdiocese
that have or will be celebrating their 25th, 50th, or 50+
anniversaries to attend an annual Anniversary Mass. This
year’s Mass will be held at Immaculate Heart of Mary and
will be celebrated by Archbishop Samuel Aquila. The
Mass will also include a renewing of the marital vows. It is
always a great joy to recognize couples who have reached
such a milestone in their marriage. We celebrate the
witness of their fidelity to the sacrament of marriage.
There is no cost for the event. Please RSVP by Friday,
September 18th.
Sunday, October 11th at 1:00 p.m. Mass

Coming This Fall…
Catholic Religious Education (CREED)
What’s old is new again! CREED has decided to embrace
an old tradition for some of our CREED students. Classes
for grades K-2 will be held on Sunday mornings from
9:30-10:15 a.m. We recognize that little ones may have
some challenges in the standard classroom setting after
attending school all day. Our new time for this younger
group will be from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m., and falls between the
two most popular family Masses, 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
St. John the Baptist is pleased to announce a new program
for our high schoolers. Addressing the call to assist in the
moral formation of our youth, we are blessed with an
extraordinary and qualified instructor who is thrilled to be
working with our youth. For more information please
contact Liz Smith at 303-776-0737, ext. 106.
CLOW: Staring up in November, our Children’s Liturgy
of the Word will start up again at the 10:30 a.m. Mass and
we encourage our families to stay after their child’s class
and attend. This is a wonderful Mass for our little ones,
especially those preparing for their First Holy Communion.
Catholic Enrichment
Grades 3-8, including RCIC and
RCIT will be held on Tuesday evenings,
6:00 - 7:30 p.m. beginning September 15th
Please check out the “Catholic
Enrichment” menu selection at

Living Stations of the Cross
Adult CREED Classes
Calling all middle school and high school aged
parishioners! We would like to bring a live enactment of
Jesus’ Passion to our 2016 St. John the Baptist Holy Week
(the week of March 20th). We will be looking for a cast,
crew, and costume volunteers to help us bring this beautiful
tradition to our parish. More details to follow.
October 6th at 6:00 p.m.
Adult Catholic Religious Education (Adult
CREED) is a casual setting targeted at the adults of our
parish. Could you use a brush up on some of your Catholic
teachings? Maybe you have burning questions that were
never answered about the sacraments, the holy Mass, or the
truths about heaven and hell. At St. John the Baptist
Catholic Church, we strive to assist our parishioners in
their religious, moral, and spiritual formation. Please join
us on the first Tuesday of every month starting October 6th
in St. Benedict Hall from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. We will have a
different topic each week led by one of our parish
staff. Look for monthly updates in the bulletin for a
description of which topic will be presented and who our
guest speaker will be. Please add us to your calendar for a
night of Catholic Enrichment!
Pro Life Baby Shower
We would like to offer a teen produced baby shower for
some of our community’s pregnant, unwed mothers in need
this Spring. Honoring motherhood with charity and service
puts our faith into action in a concrete way. We are looking
for teen volunteers to assist in the planning and production
of this event. More details to follow. If you are interested
in participating in either of these events, please call Liz
Smith for more details at 303-776-0737, ext. 106, or e-mail

SEPTEMBER 13, 2015
LA EVANGELIZACION IMPLICA NO HACER ACEPCIÓN DE PERSONAS
El apóstol Santiago en su carta (2, 1-5) establece un principio general: la fe en Jesucristo, el único
Señor de todos los creyentes, no se compagina con la acepción de personas. (Acepción es discriminar a
alguien por su condición y/o halagar a otro por su condición). Por lo tanto, no debemos estimar a los
hombres por lo que aparentan o lo que tienen, sino por lo que son delante de Dios.
Y para que nadie se haga el sordo, aclara su pensamiento, con un ejemplo que bien pudo ocurrir
entonces y que, desde luego, ocurre hoy, por desgracia, en muchas comunidades católicas. La acepción de
las personas que se practica, no ya en el templo, sino en general en la vida de la iglesia, es un escándalo y
un desconocimiento de Cristo, el Señor, que se ha identificado con los más pobres.
Los criterios del mundo son muy distintos de los criterios cristianos. La máxima del mundo es ésta: "Tanto tienes,
tanto vales". Pero Jesús llamó bienaventurados a los pobres. Si halagamos a los ricos y despreciamos a los pobres, nos
apartamos en la práctica de la verdadera religión (cfr. 1,27) y no somos ya discípulos consecuentes de Jesús. Pero la pobreza
representa una serie de cadenas que no sólo se trata de lo material; también se pueden hacer distinciones y discriminaciones
de otra manera, por ejemplo: distinguir entre pecadores y justos, entre malos y buenos, entre fuertes y débiles, entre sabios
e ignorantes.
Si Dios ha elegido a los pobres del mundo y los ha hecho herederos del reino ellos son los verdaderos ricos en la fe.
Por lo tanto, no somos nosotros los que honramos a los pobres cuando los sentamos en un lugar preferente, sino que son
ellos los que honran con su presencia nuestras asambleas litúrgicas. Los que aman a los pobres, aman a quien los ha elegido.
Aman a Dios, y pueden esperar también las promesas del reino y sentarse con los pobres en el banquete del reino; pero
tengamos cuidado en no confundir los "honores litúrgicos" (por ejemplo, el lavatorio de los pies a doce ancianos de un asilo
el día de Jueves Santo) con el auténtico amor a los pobres. El trato que reciban los pobres en nuestras asambleas litúrgicas
no puede ser otra cosa que el compromiso real de estar con ellos y luchar con ellos en otras asambleas en las que se ventila
también el pan de la justicia; pues el rechazo de la acepción de personas dentro de la iglesia nos obliga a defender la
igualdad en todo el ámbito de la vida humana.
No se podrá evangelizar verdaderamente si hacemos distinción de personas, o si nos sentimos superiores a los
demás, o si consideramos a otros inferiores a nosotros. El único rico es Dios y se hizo pobre para enriquecernos como ya
quedó claro. Humildad y caridad es el resumen de todos los dones que Dios nos da.

LONGMONT, COLORADO
Stephen Ministry at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church
People often ask, "What exactly is a Stephen Minister?"
One way to put it is that Stephen Ministers are the “after people.”
Stephen Ministers are there:
...after the phone call you hoped you’d never get.
...after the divorce papers are served and the bottom falls out of your life.
...after the funeral, when everyone has left and the emotions you’ve held at bay come crashing in on you.
...after the doctor says, “I'm sorry, but there is nothing more we can do.”
...after the nursing home director shakes your hand and says, “Welcome to your new home.”
...after the last child honks the horn, waves, and drives away, and the house suddenly seems empty.
...after the gavel goes down, the handcuffs go on, and your loved one is led away.
...after the baby arrives, demanding more of you than you ever dreamed possible.
...after you find a pink slip with your final paycheck.
...after your family and friends have heard your story one too many times, but you still need to talk it out.
Stephen Ministers are the “after people.”
They are ready to come alongside you or your friends, neighbors,
coworkers, or relatives and provide comfort and support
for as long after as needed.
For more information on receiving Stephen Ministry care, contact
St John’s at 303-776-0737.
24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” In this famous passage
about Christian discipleship, we usually tend to focus on Jesus’ call to take up our cross. This can feel frightening or
unattractive to us. It can seem as though the choice to be Christian is a choice for pain and suffering. But we must not forget
the last part of this verse: Jesus tells us to follow him. He is walking this journey ahead of us. He is the one who first takes
up the cross. We are simply called to follow in his footsteps.
Think of how much easier it is to follow a path that someone else has already trod.
Think about hiking, for example, and consider what’s involved in “blazing your own trail.”
You have to advance face-first into the brambles and bushes; you have to navigate the right
direction to your destination; you have to scale the hills and cross the waters without the aid
of stair or bridge. On the other hand, when we hike on a path that someone else has created,
we are spared all of these extra trials. Yes, the journey may still be intense, but we make it
with great comfort and confidence, knowing that we are going in the right direction and that
we have every advantage along the way thanks to someone else’s efforts.
This is what it is to follow the path of Christ. Every human person will have their
“crosses,” whether they are Christian or not. Physical pain, disappointment, rejection, grief,
and the like are not unique to the followers of Jesus. What is unique is that our Lord and
Savior has walked this path before us. Through his passion and cross, Jesus has taken all of
this into his own hands, blazing a trail that safely leads each of us to the joy of resurrection.

Hospital Stays and Holy Communion
When being admitted to the hospital
you are typically asked if you would
like a clergy visit. Please answer yes
in order for someone from the
Catholic Church to be able to bring
you Holy Communion, or pray with
you. It does not mean that you want a priest to visit you.
We have Eucharistic Ministers who bring Communion to
the hospital every day of the week. If you are not asked
about a visit from your church, please let them know you
would like a Communion visit.
