In his 2011 commencement address to Northwestern University, comedian and talk-show host Stephen Colbert recalled what he learned from his experience as a member of an improvisation group. “One of the things I was taught early on,” he said, “is that you are not the most important person in the scene.” The best improvisation comes from a team that listens and responds to each other to “serve a common idea.” When someone demands attention or tries to force a skit in a certain direction, the comedy falls apart. I never forgot his advice. It is appropriate in families, in workplaces, and among friends. And I confess I have had to apply it to myself on more than a few occasions. Jesus’ parable is a caution against presuming that we know best or that we—our goals and talents— are most important. He is not advocating false modesty or a refusal to use the gifts God gives us. Rather, Jesus asks that we start from a place of humility and service. He wants us to allow others to say what they need and how we can help before we presume to know the solution or how the situation should unfold. The figurative head of the table belongs to Christ first and foremost, and it is up to us to obediently go where he tells us. He will give us our place. It is worthy to note that at the table of the Lord, every place has the same significance and everyone is a welcome guest. The only important one is Christ himself. After that, we are all equals, regardless of who we think we are. MARY KATHARINE DEELEY [email protected] Jubilee Year of Mercy “Alms atone for sins” (Sirach 2:29). Alms are mercy translated into hands-on compassion. Jesus confirms Sirach’s wisdom, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). “Conduct your affairs with humility” (Sirach 3:17). Humility: we’re all alike and special, for we’re children of God. Jesus confirms that wisdom, too: “Do not recline at table in the place of honor. Take the lowest place” (Luke 14:8, 10). In fact, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite friends, relatives, wealthy neighbors. Invite the poor, crippled, lame, blind,” physically or figuratively, society’s most vulnerable and marginalized, “who cannot repay you” (see 14:12– 14). Jesus seems to be telling us to prepare for eternity with God’s chosen by becoming their friend here and now. Mercy is measured not by our delight in welcoming those we like most or who can repay us best, but by sincerely embracing those we like least, who cannot repay us at all. Utter humility inspires pure mercy; pure mercy leads to eternal joy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. ADORACIÓN Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario “En tus asuntos procede con humildad” (Eclesiástico 3:17). Humildad: todos somos parecidos y únicos por que somos hijos de Dios. Jesús nos da una explicación de lo que es tener humildad “no te sientes en el lugar principal . . . ocupa el último lugar” (Lucas 14:8, 10). De hecho “cuando des una comida o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a los vecinos ricos; . . . Invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos” física o simbólicamente, los más vulnerables y marginados de la sociedad “por que ellos no tienen con qué pagarte” (ver 14:12–14). Parece que Jesús está por decirnos que nos preparemos para la eternidad con los elegidos de Dios haciéndonos su amigo aquí y ahora. La misericordia no se mide por el placer de ser anfitriones de quienes mejor nos pueden devolver el favor de una invitación, sino por aceptar sinceramente la compañía de aquellas personas que no nos caen bien, de quien no podrían devolvernos el favor de una invitación. Una complete humildad inspira misericordia pura y una misericordia pura nos guía a una alegría eterna. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Maneja tus asuntos con humildad. Humíllate y tendrás el favor de Dios (Sirácide 3:17-18, 20, 28-29). Salmo — Dios da libertad y riqueza a los cautivos (Salmo 68 [67]). Segunda lectura — Te has acercado a Jesús, el mediador de una nueva alianza (Hebreos 12:18-19, 22-24a). Evangelio — Cuando te inviten a comer, siéntate en el lugar menos importante. Los que se humillan serán ensalzados (Lucas 14:1, 7-14).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Cor 2:1-5; Sal 119 (118):97-102; Mc 6:1729 Martes: 1 Cor 2:10b-16; Sal 145 (144):8-14; Lc 4:31 -37 Miércoles: 1 Cor 3:1-9; Sal 33 (32):12-15, 20-21; Lc 4:38-44 Jueves: 1 Cor 3:18-23; Sal 24 (23):1bc-4ab, 5-6; Lc 5:1-11 Viernes: 1 Cor 4:1-5; Sal 37 (36):3-6, 27-28, 39-40; Lc 5:33-39 Sábado: 1 Cor 4:6b-15; Sal 145 (144):17-21; Lc 6:15 Domingo: Sab 9:13-18b; Sal 90 (89):3-6, 12-17; Flm 9-10, 12-17; Lc 14:25-33 LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: El Martirio de san Juan Bautista Viernes: Primer viernes Sábado: San Gregorio Magno; Primer sábado HUMILDAD ¿Has estado alguna vez con un grupo de personas –quizás en un crucero, en una reunión social, o en la iglesia– y descubres que has estado hablando con un autor muy conocido, un alto ejecutivo de una empresa poderosa, un gran intelectual o una figura política? Tu primer pensamiento es que ojalá no hayas dicho nada embarazoso, pero el segundo es tu asombro al notar que se comporten como una persona “normal”. ¿Qué es lo que hace a una persona “normal”? Las lecturas de hoy nos dan una pista cuando ponen de relieve la importancia de la humildad. Es tan difícil no decirle a la primera persona que nos escuche lo ocupados que estamos, lo mucho que trabajamos, cuánto dinero donamos y cuán importantes son nuestros títulos en el trabajo. Pensamos que estas distinciones tienen influencia en las personas, y si no se lo decimos, ¿cómo van a saberlo? Pero si nuestras acciones demuestran nuestros valores, la gente reconocerá lo que valemos, por sí solas. Las palabras de Jesús nos muestran que es mucho mejor dejar que los demás reconozcan nuestros méritos que apenarnos porque alguien no los reconoce. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

WW just need to put the finishing touches on our classes lists. The Holy Spirit is sometimes the most neglected person of the Blessed Trinity. We think of symbols like light, cloud, water, fire, and a dove, but we have trouble thinking of the Spirit in a personal way. In this session, we take a look at how the Holy Spirit appears in the Bible, in novenas and chaplets, in the charismatic renewal, in an encyclical by St. John Paul II, and in the works of selected theologians. As we do so, we hope that the real Holy Spirit, the source of so many gifts and fruits, will come across to us as a familiar friend. Our 2016-2017 PREP year will begin on Tuesday, September 6 for our Sunday classes and Wednesday, September 7 for our Wednesday classes. Our first class will begin in the church at the following times: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 -for our Sunday classes will begin at 5:00 pm for both Parent and child/children.

JOHN PAUL II CATHOLIC SCHOOL • grades 7-12 Walt Dupre • Principal 843-645-3838 • [email protected] What does your relationship with Christ look like? Do you see Jesus as simply a great teacher? A prophet? A man of great wisdom? Or do you see him as more? Jesus calls us to be more than simply believers— he calls us to be his disciples and his friends. Do you consider yourself a disciple and friend of Christ? The Gospel of John shows us that God became like us; he became a man so that we could become like him and grow closer to him. Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John is your guide to a personal encounter with Christ. If you want to know what it means to really follow Christ, and if you would like to have a deeper relationship with him, then we invite you to join us for Follow Me, beginning on September 7, 2016. You will not only benefit personally from being part of this study; you will also help us to grow in fellowship as a parish as we grow closer to Christ together. Follow Me invites you to experience the joy of a renewed friendship with Christ. You will learn what it takes to follow him. You will experience the joy of divine friendship, and you will see how God— and only God—can satisfy the deepest desires of your heart. Participants of Follow Me will receive this workbook and will meet every week to view an engaging video presentation followed by a time of lively group discussion and fellowship. The eight 30-minute videos, presented by Dr. Edward Sri, will guide you through the Gospel of John. Dr. Sri will explain how Christ’s encounters with his disciples, the Samaritan woman, the man born blind, and others, are examples of how he lovingly and persistently calls each of us to a more intimate and life-changing relationship with him. We will begin Follow Me on Wednesday, September 7th with two session, our morning sessions will be at 9:30 to 11:30 AM and the evening Session from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

Turkey dinners prepared by 400 volunteers are served from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. We have traditionally served between 800 to 900 diners. Unfortunately, this dinner must be cancelled if new organizers do not volunteer soon. Lois and Wally Willig and Barb O'Connor will assist the new coordinators throughout 2016. The dinner will be held at the First Presbyterian Church on December 25. Donations received at the dinner help Meals on Wheels and Second Helpings. For further information, please call Lois Willig 843-304-1086 or 843-705-5725 or email [email protected] St. Gregory the Great Adoration Society Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel gives us an opportunity to spend an hour of prayer and give thanks for the many blessings we have received. This hour in peace and meditation with the Blessed Sacrament can also be an opportunity to pray for our friends and family who are sick or just need our prayers. Christ instituted this Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain with mankind until the end of time (Jn. 14:18). Our wish is to have someone present for each of the 24 hours throughout the day in silent contemplation and reflection. We can use more adorers for this ministry. Please be generous with your time and sign up for one hour of adoration. If you have any questions or feel you can sign up for just one hour per week please call Darlene Polk 724-787-1555 or send an email to [email protected].
