Matthew and Christian Need your Help
Matthew (22) and Christian Agostini (16), grandchildren of parishioner Rosemarie Agostini, are typical brothers who like sports, video games and spending time with their family and friends. They also have a rare, neurodegenerative condition called ataxia with oculomotor apraxia.
"Matthew and Christian struggle with everyday functions that most people take for granted: walking, talking, head and trunk stability and eye movements, which affects them in many ways," said Rosemarie. "Ataxia struck Matthew and Christian at an early age, when they first started walking, causing struggle, frustration, loss of independence and heartache. But Matthew and Christian also demonstrate courage, strength and the will to persevere to all who meet them".

Zacchaeus and L.G.B.T. Catholics
By James Martin S.J.
The Gospel of Luke 19 1-10. tells us the beautiful story of Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus. Jesus is traveling through Jericho, a huge city. He’s on his way to Jerusalem, and it’s toward the end of his ministry, so he would have been well known in the area. As a result, he probably had a large crowd following him. In Jericho, there is a man named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region and so would have also been seen by the Jewish people as the “chief sinner.” Why? Because he would have been seen as colluding with the Roman authorities. So, Zacchaeus was someone who was probably on the outs with everyone.
Now, here I would like to invite you to think of Zacchaeus as a symbol for the L.G.B.T. Catholic. Not because the L.G.B.T. people are more sinful than the rest of us—because we’re all sinners. But because they feel so marginalized. Think of the L.G.B.T. person as Zacchaeus.

Welcoming the Refugee and Migrant
Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Our liturgy today gives us two texts meant to give hope to religious people who needed it.
The first reading comes from the book of Daniel Dn 12:1-3. and from the time of the Maccabees. In the second century before Christ they fought invaders who imposed Greek culture and hardships on God’s people.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus continues offering his disciples signs to look for that will indicate that the coming of the Son of Man is near. His words and images draw upon Old Testament imagery, especially images found in the Book of Daniel.
