Welcome to the Casebrook Intermediate website.
Here at Casebrook we believe that emerging adolescents are a unique age group and we are committed to meeting their needs.
The pace of technological development means that the future is something we can't begin to envisage. As such, its our job to ensure we provide our students with the knowledge and skills that allow them to think creatively and to teach them problem solving techniques to confidently and effectively meet future challenges.
Our learning environment is supported by a strong focus on values. Through these values we develop within each student a strong sense of self worth and recognise their importance as a member of our Casebrook community.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA says rain could delay space shuttle Discovery's return to earth.
The shuttle was scheduled to land Monday morning at Cape Canaveral. But NASA is considering a delay due to rain showers expected over the landing site.
Shuttle commander Alan Poindexter says he doesn't mind spending extra time in orbit. The astronauts have enough supplies to stay in orbit until Wednesday. In a worst-case scenario, Discovery could land at a back-up site in southern California.

Freshman Jack Coan looking good for Sayville
Dillon Boos, Steven Ferreira and Zach Sirico set the bar extremely high for Sayville quarterbacks as all three earned Newsday All-Long Island recognition between 2008 and 2012. Based on first impressions, 14-year-old freshman Jack Coan has passed his bar exam.
Coan completed his very first varsity pass in Saturday's fifth Breast Cancer Awareness Day scrimmage against host school Bay Shore, and went to have an impressive overall debut. Coan, 6-2 and 160 pounds, displayed an accurate arm and exceptional poise in guiding the Golden Flashes to numerous touchdown drives during scrimmages against Bay Shore, Ward Melville and Patchogue-Medford.
Perhaps his best throw came against Patchogue-Medford when Coan lofted a perfectly thrown ball over a defender and into the hands of a leaping Chris Rupp in the right corner of the end zone on a fade route. That kind of deft touch in a tight window is a difficult throw even for an experienced quarterback.
"Am I happy? I'm beyond happy. But I'm not surprised," said Sayville coach Rob Hoss, who knows full well the value of a good quarterback in his dynamic spread offense. "He's got ice in his veins for such a young kid. You tell him what to do and he does it. He doesn't get distracted by anything. He has tunnel vision. All he's about is doing what his coach says. He has amazing composure for a freshman."
Because he's a freshman, Coan is cut no slack when it comes to the team's rituals. That means that even though he's the starting quarterback on a team that has won the last three Suffolk County championships, he still was assigned to tote the bag full of footballs between scrimmages on Saturday.
As he walked from Field 2 to Field 1 after his first varsity competition against Bay Shore, Coan admitted he had the jitters, "just for a little bit at the beginning. But all that was gone after the first play."
The Coan Era has begun.
Other noteworthy tidbits from the eight-team event, which drew a crowd of several hundred for the $5 admission fee that went directly to the Judi Shesh Memorial Foundation in support of breast cancer awareness:
*Bay Shore defensive back Cordell Nix was all over the field, making interceptions on consecutive plays during one sequence. He's also an elusive wide receiver.
*Patchogue-Medford first-year starting quarterback Anthony Lee, a senior, showed off a good arm as the Raiders moved the ball well in their spread. And that was without star wide receiver Connor Coughlin, who caught 53 passes last season but was on the sidelines with a minor leg injury.
*Speaking of injuries, Marc Coles, Floyd's talented All-Long Island fullback/linebacker who suffered a torn ACL during summer 7-on-7s and had knee surgery on July 17, said he was holding out hope that he could return to the team some time during the playoffs. What a lift that would be for the defending L.I. champions. "He leaves us with quite a void on defense," Floyd coach Paul Longo said.
*The Colonials also have a huge hole at quarterback with the departure of three-year starter A.J. Otranto. Based on Saturday's scrimmages, senior Eric Brust, who didn't play as a junior but started on the JV as a sophomore, appears to have beaten out strong-armed sophomore Brandon Desmond.

Nashua YMCA lifeguard: 'My training just kicked in and instincts took over'
Samantha Goy of Nashua was one of two lifeguards at the Nashua YMCA who saved the life of Kugarany 'Baba' Sribalaharan (at right) this past December when she went into cardiac arrest while swimming laps. (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON PHOTO)
But those fears were cast aside this past December when Goy, 18, realized a swimmer at the Nashua YMCA was in trouble. Goy, along with her fellow lifeguard Brenna Connolly, quickly stepped into action when a woman lost consciousness while swimming laps in the pool.
"My training just kicked in and instincts took over," Goy said while attending an award ceremony Wednesday at Nashua High School South.
Hosted by American Medical Response, the award ceremony not only recognized Goy and Sribalaharan, but also honored more than 2,000 city high school students who participated in the first annual AMR CPR Challenge in December.
"You could potentially save someone's life," Stawasz told the crowd on Wednesday. "Congratulations to everybody."
"This is such a valuable skill, and you should be commended for learning it," agreed Dr. James Martin, medical director at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua.
"This is just the start of your training," said Justin Kates, emergency management director for the city.
"You guys might be the people to call 911 and begin CPR during an emergency. Already you are more prepared," he told the students.
Organizers of the CPR challenge are hoping to expand the program next year to include students from Manchester high schools as well, Stawasz said.

Abutting the national park, this lodge sits at the head of a long valley with terrific views of a hippo pool that forms the lodge's central attraction—it's not unusual to have hippos grazing 100 feet from the terrace restaurant. Despite this, the lodge never really succeeds in creating a bush feel, perhaps because it's such a big convention and family destination. Its brick buildings feel vaguely institutional. Nevertheless, the guest rooms, particularly the executive
studios, are very pleasant, thanks to light pine furniture, colorful African bedspreads, and super views of the valley. The lodge conducts game drives in open-air vehicles, as well as ranger-guided walks. A shuttle bus (R40 round-trip) runs to Sun City, 10 km (6 mi) away.

Angelina School Districts Could Lose $1 Million if Budget Passes
The state budget bill just passed by the Texas House would cut state funding of public schools by $8 billion dollars. Every school district in the state would be affected. School districts in Angelina County would lose $1 million each, and local school officials say they're worried.
The bill now goes to the Senate, which is writing its own version of the state budget. Amendments to the House Bill are possible and probable.
Lufkin State Representative James White says "House Bill 1 is a work in progress."
Local school superintendents say they're alarmed by this bill.
Lufkin ISD Superintendent Roy Knight says "The only hope at this point in time to prevent our schools from looking like a 1940s classroom is if the Senate can bring some sense of equity back to school funding."
Diboll ISD Superintendent Gary Martel, whose district stands to lose anywhere from $790,000 to $1.5 million in state funding, says he hopes and prays that the Senate can provide a better budget.
via Angelina school districts could lose $1 million apiece in proposed budget – The Lufkin Daily News: Local & State.
The House Public Education Committee will hold a hearing today on a substitute bill by Rep. James White. His bill would overhaul current public education funding by moving from a target-revenue system to a more equitable system.
All six Angelina County School Superintendents support this bill, are in Austin to offer testimony and support.

I'm sure our butternut squashes last year were definitely pear shaped at the start.
There will be some weed seeds - you can't avoid them. As soon as you see little seedlings just use a sharp hoe. In the spring you'll need to do this quite often.
As long as you sow your veg seeds in straight lines and mark the rows you'll be able to tell which are weed seedlings and which are your veg.
Lots of info here Doreen http://www.wildaboutgardens.org.uk/thingstodo/inaweekend/put-in-a-pond.aspx
We were unable to dig ours as deep as is recommended due to tree roots, but it does need to be at least 2 ft deep.
Hello folks my word you've all been chattering away today I'm kn*ckered after my hectic weekend
Good job there's lots of food in the house already to eat - I just popped stuff in the oven to heat up - all I had to cook was the first picking of the runner beans - a bit late 'cos the first sowing didn't germinate. These are Emergo - Verdun's recommendation and I'm very happy with them - lovely beans and setting fantastically well
OH is washing up and I think I'll be slumping sideways on the sofa in a minute and snoozing
Happy Birthday Panda ((hugs))
Just for you
But the baby fruit is definitely round
If you've got good soil in your plot you don't really need to add much depth - just as you say, formalise the edges and neaten things up. I'd say an additional 4 to 6 inches would be plenty.
If you get well rotted manure it'll break down quickly - you can fork it in a bit when you spread it and then fork it over again in the late winter early springtime, bringing up the soil to the surface, and it'll be fine to sow and plant in next season. You can also incorporate some well rotted garden compost and leaf mould if you've got any
It does depend on the pond doesn't it Philippa, and probably the fish also, as well as on the owner.
If the fish are fed then that can upset the balance but if there's enough natural food in the pond then that's much better. But of course, if the fish eat all the tadpoles and efts then that's not so good - it's all about keeping that balance
Jason, I think I would now that the nights are getting cooler - mine are in a little wooden mini greenhouse - I don't have a proper greenhouse.
How much deeper will it be?
If you have good soil in your veg patch I think I'd buy in good quality organic farmyard manure to raise the level - spread it over the raised bed area for the winter and let the weather and the worms incorporate it all. It'll be fantastic by the spring

METHOD OF TREATING, CORRUGATING AND LAMINATING A FLEXIBLE ABSORBENT SHEET MATERIAL Filed Sept. 24, 1957 IN VEJY TOR. Jwzzsfl Piaf/e17,
United rates Fatent 7 3,602,873 METHUD OF TREATING, CORRUGATING AND LAMINATING A FLEXIBLE ABSDRBENT SHEET MATERIAL James H. ltiekren, K0, Box 6466, Jacksonville, Fla, as-
siguor of one-half to Samuel A. Hooker, Martinsvilie,
Filed Sept. 24, 1957, Ser. No. 685,964 2 Claims. ((11. 156-205) This invention relates to a method of treating an absorbent sheet material, and more particularly concerns a method of improving the wet strength of fibrous materials such as paper and the like.
This invention further relates to a continuous method of forming finished articles constructed of fibrous material, such as corrugated fiberboard or the like, having improved characteristics of wet strength and water resistance.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved method of enhancing the wet strength of sheet materials. Still another object is to provide a method of strengthening fibrous 'sheet'rnaterials such aspaper and the like. Other objects and advantages of this invention will further appear hereinafter.
The drawing illustrates a preferred form of the apparatus for carrying out the method in accordance with this invention, the apparatus being arranged to produce continuously a corrugated fiberboard pro duct.
In accordance with this invention, a sheet of absorbent material such as cloth, paper, fiberboard or the like is impregnated with steam containing a mixture of (1) urea or gelatin and ('2) formaldehyde, and after the impregnation is complete the product is heated, causing a condensation reaction of the urea or gelatin with the formaldehyde to form a resin in situ which is uniformly dispersed in the sheet.
, Turning now to the specific form of the invention se lected for illustration in the drawings, a roll 10 of flexible absorbent sheet material S is caused to pass over an idler roller ii and then against the surface of a corrugator roll 12. A mating corrugator roll 13 is provided adjacent the periphery of the corrugator roll 12. The sheet S is continuously subject to a plurality of sprays or jets emanating from a nozzle 14. Several jets 14 are preferably but optionally spaced along the edge of the cylinder 12, all such jets being in line so that only one is visible in the drawing.
The number 15 designates a tank containing an aqueous mixture of gelatin and formaldehyde. Pipes 16 ex= tend upwardly from the tank 15 and are connected into the throats of venturis 17. Steam flows at a relatively high velocity through the line 20 and through the venturis 1'7, and the throats of the venturis accordingly have a reduced pressure causing a suction of the aqueous mixture of gelatin and formaldehyde upwardly from the tank 1d. Accordingly, a mixture of gelatin and formaldehyde of predetermined proportions is fed into the throat of each venturi l? at a rate which is proportional to the rate of flow of steam through the venturi and also to the lineal feet of travel of material through the machine. The steam, mixed with predetermined quantities of gelatin and formaldehyde, then flows upwardly through the pipe 21 to the jets l4, and it is this mixture which is expanded and projected against the surface of the sheets as the sheet passes around the periphery of the corrugator roller 12. After corrugation, the sheet 3 passes over an idler roller 22, between rollers 23 and through another steam jet section 24, wherein additional jets of steam, admixed with urea or gelatin and formaldehyde as heretofore described, are supplied from the pipe 25.
Another sheet S also of flexible absorbent material,
is conducted from a roller 30 over a guide 31 to the steam jet location 24, where it is treated (as heretofore described in connection with the sheet S) on both sides with a mix-- provided from a roll 32, which passes over rollers 33' through jets contained in the jet portion 24. The sheets- S, S and S are then caused to flow between compression rollers 34 and between heating elements 35. The heat ing elements apply a proper amount of heat to the combined sheets, causing a condensation reaction of the urea and the formaldehyde or the gelatin and the formaldehyde to form a resin in situ which is uniformly dispersed in the sheets.
Because of the fact that the impregnation of the fibrous sheet is completed while all of the reactants are in an unreacted condition and in a liquid condition, and because of the fact that the are applied forcibly in the form of a jet of steam against the surface of the absorbent fibrous material, an exceptionally good and exceptionally uniform absorption and penetration of the material takes place. This process is to be distinguished sharply from processes wherein an impregnation is carried out, using a resin as the impregnating material. In accordance with this invention, the impregiation is brought about using raw materials of a condensation reaction, and after the impregnation has been completed the condensation reaction is, for the first time, started and then completed within the fibrous material. "This condensation reaction, involving urea or gelatin I and formaldehyde, is not to be confused with other condensation reactions which are known in other arts. It has been found that urea or gelatin and formaldehyde are vastly superior to any other resin forming substances when applied to paper, fiberboard or other material, as a mixture with steam which is caused to jet against the sufrace of the material. Moreover, it has been found that when used on fibrous materials such'as paper or fiberboard or the like, the combination of steam, urea or gelatin and formaldehyde, followed by heating in a dry. condition, brings about a resinification or a condensation reaction which produces an exceedingly stable and exceedingly water resistant resin, such resin being uniformly dispersed among the fibers and possessing excellent strength qualities over long period of use.
Although the drawings show a specific form of the invention, as applied to corrugated fiberboard, it should be borne in mind that the process has application to a single sheet, Whether corrugated or not. Although various alternate methods may be employed for forming the mixture of steam, urea or gelatin, and formaldehyde, the method shown in the drawings is'of particular advantage since the venturis provide a uniform mixing action which is difiicult to obtain otherwise, and which action provides superior results.
The solution contained in the storage tank 15 is preferably a mixture of urea or gelatin, formaldehyde and water. Where gelatin is employed, this may be a dilute solution containing, for example, about 6% by weight of gelatin and about 6% by weight of formaldehyde. The solution may be even more dilute, utilizing for example 2% by weight of each such ingredient. However, the dilution is variable within wide limits and may be selected at the convenience of the operator. Preferably, the total weight of solids is in the range of 1 to about 20% by Weight, based on the total weight of solids plus water, but in any condition the mixture must be readily llowable. Although it is preferable to maintain the ratio of gelatin to form-aldehyde at approximately 1-1, this is subject to wide variation since the formaldehyde may be in proportion of one half of that of the gelatin, or even less. The
H of the solution is preferably in the range of about 2.2 to 4.5. Phosphoric acid is preferably added in an amount to create a pH within this range, and serves as a buffer.
Where urea is combined with formaldehyde, it is preferred to maintain a pH of about 4.0 to 6.8, formic acid being added as a bufier in the dilute solution. The solution preferably has a solids content of about 1% to by weight, balance water, and for many purposes it is preferred to maintain, by weight, about 6% to 7% urea plus formaldehyde and 93% to 94% water. Ordinarily, only trace quantifies of formic acid produce excellent results, but more may be added without interfering.
It is preferred in accordance with this method to condition the fibrous material prior to treatment by this process, by treating it with plain steam. The pressure from the steam in the preliminary process assists the impregnation of the paper in the following stages of the process.
It has been noted that the heating of the treated sheet should be carried out in a dry condition. The solution does not provide a completely workable condensation reaction as long as steam is present. Only when heating is applied in a manner to drive off any remaining water does the condensation reaction proceed to a proper stage. This factor is highly desirable, since none of the Working parts of the apparatus are clogged up due to polymerization taking place prematurely, as would happen in the case of a urea formaldehyde resin employing a catalyst, for example.
Another advantage of the method in accordance with this invention is that the mixture of gelatin and formaldehyde or urea and formaldehyde needs no outside catalyst to cause the condensation reaction to take place in the pores of the paper. The dry heat in the drying mechanism causes the condensation, hence there is no concern with respect to the life of the solution prior to use. While many other condensation reaction chemicals have a very short pot life due to interaction between them, gelatin and formaldehyde do not react to any appreciable extent until they are dry. Although in some cases the boiling of the gelatin-formaldehyde liquid tends to give a small amount of condensation reaction, I have found that by the addition of a small amount of phosphoric acid (H PO keeping the pH of the solution between about 2.2 and 4.5, this condition is avoided.
Referring further to the pot life of a gelatin-type solution, it has been noted that the formaldehyde actually preserves the gelatin and lengthens its pot life, which is sharply distinguishable from other resin forming chemicals, which tend to react with each other thereby shortening their pot life.
The paper product has a much higher wet strength than conventional paper. In fact, strength ratios up to as high as -1 and above have been obtained as compared to untreated paper. Similar proportion-a1 results have been obtained utilizing other forms of fibrous materials.
Another advantage of this invention is that it is unnecessary in many cases to utilize the conventional gluing step which has heretofore been utilized to adhere the central corrugated portion of a fiberboard product to the two fiat outside sheets. The impregnation followed by drying in accordance with this invention adheres the three sheets tenaciously together, utilizing the condensation product as the adhering medium.
Paper or fibrous products in accordance with this invention not only have great wet strength, but they breathe and still have a wick action as did the untreated paper or fibrous product. Water filters through it readily, notwithstanding the faet that it has been impregnated with resin-forming chemicals which have undergone a condensation reaction.
This invention is applicable not only to fiberboard, paper and the like but may also be applied to any other flexible absorbent material such as cloth, cardboard, twoply wood, multi-ply wood, etc.
Although this invention hm been described with refere cc to various specific embodiments thereof, it will be appreciated that equivalents may be substituted for the specific materials, apparatus and method steps disclosed herein, and that certain features of the invention may be utilized independently of the use of other features, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
This application is a continuation-in-part of Serial No. 679,797, filed August 19, 1957, on my behalf by Samuel Arthur Hooker and now abandoned.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. In a method of treating an elongated piece of fiberboard from a plurality of flexible absorbent sheets of cellulosic material, the steps which comprise continuously moving one of said sheets over a generally cylindrical supporting surface having a corrugated formation, providing a liquid treating bath containing an aqueous unreacted mixture of (1) a substance of the group consisting of urea and gelatin and (2) formaldehyde, said composition being kept at a pH between 2.2 and 4.5 when said substance is gelatin and between about 4.0 and 6.8 when said substance is urea, whereby said substance and formaldehyde remain unreacted in the presence of water; flowing a stream of steam past said bath and constricting the flow of steam to create a venturi effect therein; withdrawing mixture from said bath and uniformly entraining same in said steam flow by means of said venturi effect, the amount of composition withdrawn from said bath and entrained in said steam being automatically regulated by the amount of steam passing through said constricted flow; directing a jet of steam containing said mixture against said sheet while said sheet is supported by said corrugated surface, said steam being under pressure and flowing at a high velocity against the surface of said sheet, whereby the sheet is impregnated with a substantially uniform essentially unreacted mixture of said substance and formaldehyde, continuously adhering substantially flat sheets to opposite sides of the sheet contacted by said steam, substance and formaldehyde, and then heating said sheet to dry same and continuing said heating in the dry condition to cause a condensation reaction of said substance and formaldehyde to form a resin in situ uniformly dispersed in said sheet.
2. In a method of treating an elongated cellulosic flexible absorbent sheet material to improve its wet strength, the steps which comprise continuously moving said sheet, providing a flow of steam between a source thereof and said sheet material; constricting said flow of steam intermediate said source and said material to create a venturiefiect therein; providing a liquid treating bath in communication with said flow of steam adjacent said constricted flow, said both comprising an aqueous composition of (l) a substance selected from t; e group consisting of urea and gelatin and (2) formaldehyde, in unreac-ted form, said composition being maintained at a pH between about 2.2 and 4.5 when said substance is gelatin and between about 4.0 and 6.8 when said substance is urea, whereby components 1) and (2) thereof remain unreacted in the presence of H 0; withdrawing composition from said bath and uniformly e-ntraining the same with said steam by the action of the venturi effect created in said flow of steam, the amount of composition withdrawn from said bath and entrained in said stemn being automatically regulated by the amount of steam passing through said constricted flow; directing a jet of the resulting mixture of steam and composition against the surface of said sheet material whereby the material is i1npregnated with a substantially uniform unreacted mixture of said substance and formaldehyde, and then heating said sheet to remove steam and moisture therefrom and continuing said heating in a dry atmosphere to effect condensation reaction between said substance and formaldehyde to form a resin in situ uniformly dispersed in said sheet.

TRW Automotive transfers about $4B of pension liabilities to L&G
TRW Automotive disclosed in a filing that on November 24 the trustee of the TRW Pension Scheme in the U.K., with respect to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRW Automotive Holdings is the principal employer, entered into a group annuity contract with Legal & General Assurance Society Limited in the U.K., a subsidiary of Legal & General Group, that requires L&G to pay and administer future annuity payments to certain of the U.K. Scheme's members. Under the agreement, approximately $4B of pension liabilities under the U.K. Scheme were transferred to L&G in a partial buyout that was funded predominantly with U.K. Scheme assets, although a subsidiary of the company will make additional contributions as part of the company's overall abatement plans described below. This transaction is part of the company's overall plan to permanently abate a significant portion of its pension liabilities in the U.K., as well as certain of its pension liabilities in the U.S. and Canada, as previously outlined in the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 26. The company expects these abatement actions to be substantially complete by December 31, 2014. In connection with the abatement actions, the company expects certain of its subsidiaries to make additional pension contributions in the fourth quarter of approximately $225M to $250M. The company further anticipates accounting for the abatement actions as a settlement of pension obligations under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and to incur pre-tax curtailment charges in the fourth quarter in the range of $875M to $925M.

With their new Murderville book in stores, SOHH recently hit up writing duo Ashley and Jaquavis Coleman about their new Cash Money Content debut.
Asked about signing on the dotted line for Cash Money Records' publishing company, Jaquavis said he was surprised by how familiar founders Baby and Slim were of their brand.
"It took me by surprise, like, when Baby and Slim came to the table, they knew exactly what we were about," Jaquavis told SOHH referring to himself and wife, Ashley. "It surprised me. They told us about all of the books that we wrote that they liked and how they followed the genre. That totally threw me off. I would never think guys like them would sit down and read. Those guys, in addition to businessmen, they're also intellectuals. Just by them following us, it was a big honor. They really knew what they wanted because they were fans of the genre before they even stepped into it. This has been in the works for about a year. We got that big check about a year ago. Oh my goodness. They really live up to the name, Cash Money. Believe that. So we'll say that. They really live up to the name. Cash. Money." (SOHH)
Jaquavis' writing sidekick/wife, Ashley, also shared her input on what she hopes to gain from the Cash Money exposure.
"We're definitely trying to grow the brand," Ashley added. "'Ashley & Jaquavis' has really been a big name as far as street literature is concerned but if we can pull those hip-hop fans. That's such a loyal group, loyal fanbase. If we can pull those fans into our lane, we'll really be an unstoppable force not only in black street literature but with literature in general." (SOHH)
A few months ago, Cash Money Content author Wahida Clark talked to SOHH about teaming up with the publishing company.
"Cash Money [has] an audience that needs to be put on to Wahida Clark. And of course Wahida Clark has to be put on to their audience as well. I need to get put on to that Cash Money, Young Money clique. Baby and Slim knowing about my background really helped [with the deal]. I knew even before we got together that Baby was a fan of mine, and that was all good." (SOHH)
In March, Baby discussed Cash Money's venture into the publishing world.
"I just want to introduce y'all to CMC, our Cash Money Content, which is our book company," Baby said in an interview. "The first book we put out, [came] out 2/15, which is called Raw Law and it really speaks to the realities of our legal system. I think this is a book you should read especially if you in and out [of jail]. One of my brother's doing life. One of my partner's fighting a life charge. One of my brothers just came home from doing 20 years. And that was one of my inspirations on this book. [It's about] trying to help them get in and out, finding the right legal system to help them get in and out of jail." (Derick G)

I dream of a missionary option, that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church's customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today's world rather than for her self-preservation. The renewal of structures demanded by pastoral conversion can only be understood in this light: as part of an effort to make them more mission-oriented, to make ordinary pastoral activity on every level more inclusive and open, to inspire in pastoral workers a constant desire to go forth and in this way to elicit a positive response from all those whom Jesus summons to friendship with himself. As John Paul II once said to the Bishops of Oceania: All renewal in the Church must have mission as its goal if it is not to fall prey to a kind of ecclesial introversion - Pope Francis
The Father still loves the world and sends His Son to save it. (John 3: 16) That work of loving redemption and recreation continues through you and me. He has placed us in the world with redemptive purpose. Jesus now walks into the world through His Body, the Church, of which we are members. It is in this sense that I regularly write in my reflections, and proclaim in both preaching and teaching, that we actually now live in the Church - and go into the world.

CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - Our readings this Sunday Liturgy speak to the call of the Lord to fruitfulness, growth and the missionary mandate to spread of His Kingdom. The Spirit of God speaks through the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah reminding the people of Israel that God's word always bears fruit when it finds fertile soil and accomplishes His plan:
"Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; my word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it". (Is. 55: 10, 11)
The Apostle Paul speaks to the Christians in Rome of the coming fullness of redemption, the Resurrection of our bodies. He reminds them - and us - of the continuing work of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. The Holy Spirit is transforming us, as we cooperate with grace, ever more fully into the Image and Likeness of God. (Romans 8:18-23)
Then Matthew the Evangelist gives us his account of Jesus teaching the crowd the parable of the Sower and the seed - and then explaining it more fully for the disciples (Matt. 13:1-23) I will focus on the explanation which He gave to the disciples - because we are the disciples. We are members of the Body of Christ. Jesus has been raised from the dead and, through our Baptism, we are now incorporated into Him. Thus, His word continues to bear fruit within us and is meant to bear fruit in the world through us.
He tells us today:
"The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."
We have been baptized into Jesus Christ. The Risen Jesus now lives His life in and through us - as we live our lives in Him. This is more than a spiritual metaphor - it is meant to move from piety to reality for us as we learn to live in His Body, the Church, for the sake of the world. The Father still loves the world and still gives His Son to save it. (John 3:16) Now, that gift of His Son continues to be given to all men and women through you and me.
In Matthews Gospel, Jesus also uses other images to communicate the meaning of the parable to us: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches. The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened." (Matt. 13: 31 - 33)
We are to become light and leaven, salt and seed, in a world that is waiting to be reborn. We are being spread as seed in the fields of the world. We are called to fall to the ground and bear fruit. All of these images are meant to bring home the new reality that comes from our discipleship.
In the words of St. Jose Maria Escriva:
"May Our Lord be able to use us so that, placed as we are at all the cross-roads of the world - and at the same time placed in God - we become salt, leaven and light. Yes, you are to be in God, to enlighten, to give flavor, to produce growth and new life. But don't forget that we are not the source of this light: we only reflect it. (St. Jose Maria Escriva, Friends of God, 250)
The beloved disciple John was the author of the last Gospel written. He also wrote letters to the early Christians during his later years. They are tender, rich in practical instruction and well worth regular consumption by anyone who wants to get serious about living the Christian life in every age.
As is sometimes the case in biblical translation, sometimes an important point really can get lost in translation. After all, the New Testament was written in Greek. We read it in vernacular translations. One such point which too often gets confused concerns our relationship to the world.
John writes in his first letter:
"I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven for his name's sake. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the Evil One. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the Evil One.
"Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust, enticement for the eyes, and a pretentious life, is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever." (1 John 2:12-17)
Yet, we read in the most often quoted text from the Gospel of John that "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son." (John 3:16) I pose the question - How can we Love the World and Not Love the World at the Same Time? We have to understand the way in which the word - world- is being used in a biblical context in order to understand how we are called to live our Christian vocation as missionaries in every age.
First, some of the confusion concerning our relationship to the world comes from the remnants of one of the early heresies in Christian history, Manichaeism. The followers of this error believed that matter itself was evil. That is NOT a Christian belief.
We profess in our ancient Creed our belief in a bodily resurrection - and the coming of a new heaven and new earth! Yet this error of viewing matter as evil still infects many, including some Christians and can lead to a kind "ghetto mentality" whereby Christians withdraw from the world and build little separated communities.
Secondly, some of the confusion also comes from ways the term or phrase "the world" is used in the New Testament, at least in the English translations. Let me explain.
There is "the world" that God created and looked upon and said "it is good". (See e.g. Genesis, chapter 1). That world is still good. It is filled with beauty and reflects the Divine artist and architect who made it. That world He entrusted to the crown of his creation - man and woman.
Then there is "the world" or "this world" - a system, a culture of death and use, which has squeezed God out of His rightful place and substituted idols in His place. That system is also called "the world" in the bible. (See, e.g. James 4:4). We are not to "love" that world, in the sense of giving ourselves over to its dominion.
We are to reject that system which has rejected God and His love - in order to free those enchained by its lies.
However, the Father wants to bring the entire human race back into a relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. Those of us who live in Jesus Christ are sent on that mission into the world. We are called, like the Lord in whose Image we are created to "love the world" in order to participate in its transformation from within.
The power to effect redemptive change in the world in which we live comes from the life of God within us. God's word, His very life, has been sown within us. One of the many images Jesus uses in his parables is that of leaven. (See, e.g., Mt. 13:33) It is amazing how little leaven it takes to raise a loaf of bread.
That is because within those little particles of yeast is found the power to ferment, to change the lump of wet dough into a loaf of aromatic, tasty, nourishing bread. However, the power contained within that yeast is not activated unless it is mixed and kneaded into the dough. Once you work the leaven in, it is still hidden to the eye but how it transforms that loaf!
So it is with Christians. We are leaven within human culture! The power within us is the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead (See Romans 8:11)! All we are asked to do is to mix it up in the loaf. We have to get into the loaf. We must be in the world - where Jesus is - in order to be used by Him to accomplish His ongoing work of redemption.
Leaven or yeast that is not used in time spoils and loses its capacity to ferment that dough; it must be active or it becomes useless. That leaven must be in the dough in order to effect its extraordinary change. So it is with each one of us. We must be "in the world" to effect its transformation. Once hidden in the loaf, leaven always raises the dough. It also takes human effort - it must be kneaded - and worked into the loaf - but it has extraordinary power within it.
So it is with us as we walk learn to walk in living faith. Faith is a verb, it must be exercised. By living in the heart of the Church, for the sake of the world, we are called to continue the redemptive mission of the Lord Jesus, to bring the whole world back to the Father.
This kind of missionary mindset is called the missionary option by Pope Francis. It calls for a new orientation in each one of our lives concerning our call, the call of every Baptized, Christian to be a missionary. Such a missionary vision has inspired great missionary ages in the past and brought extraordinary changes to entire cultures. It can do so once again, in this hour in which we have been born - and born again!
However, it always begins one person, one grain, one seed, at a time.
The seed of the kingdom, the living Word, has been planted within us. And now, we become the seed, the salt and the leaven for the Divine Sower who continues His redemptive mission in a world waiting to be reborn in Him.
He spreads us in the field of the world to bear a harvest for the Kingdom to come. We are called to live at the crossroads of that world and become missionaries of the new world, of which the Church is a seed and sign.In addition, he calls us to sow the seed of His Word, in a world which thirsts for its liberating power.
Finally, we are also the soil into which the seed of God's word is planted. We need to work on remaining receptive to the continual work of God's grace within us. When rocks fall in the way, we need to recognize them and remove them. We need to regularly water our hearts with the Living Water of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, in order to remain receptive to the dynamic work of God in our lives.
The Father still loves the world and sends His Son to save it. (John 3: 16) That work of loving redemption and recreation continues through you and me. He has placed us in the world with redemptive purpose.
Jesus now walks into the world through His Body, the Church, of which we are members. It is in this sense that I regularly write in my reflections, and proclaim in both preaching and teaching, that we actually now live in the Church - and go into the world.
One of the titles that the Fathers of the Church used to describe the Church was - the world reconciled. The Second Vatican Council in the Catholic Church used this phrase and reaffirmed another Patristic Image of the Church as a seed of the kingdom.
Several other biblical images help us to grasp this missionary vocation. In Matthews Gospel Jesus also uses the image of salt and light: "Jesus said to his disciples: "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden."
"Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father." (Matt. 5: 13 - 16)
The passage calls to mind the words of the Lord, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12) We carry that light into a world which is often steeped in darkness. To bring the light we must be willing to enter the realm where that darkness is contending for the hearts of men and women.
In his Apostolic Exhortation entitled The Gospel of Joy (Evangelii Gaudium), Pope Francis wrote these words:
"I dream of a "missionary option", that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church's customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today's world rather than for her self-preservation.
"The renewal of structures demanded by pastoral conversion can only be understood in this light: as part of an effort to make them more mission-oriented, to make ordinary pastoral activity on every level more inclusive and open, to inspire in pastoral workers a constant desire to go forth and in this way to elicit a positive response from all those whom Jesus summons to friendship with himself. As John Paul II once said to the Bishops of Oceania: "All renewal in the Church must have mission as its goal if it is not to fall prey to a kind of ecclesial introversion". (Par. 27)
It is time to go forth. The Sower, the Soil and the Seed calls us to live the Missionary Option called for by Pope Francis in this hour.
