Izbirati vrednote v luči večnosti
»Poglejte, če vzamemo dobesedno te
in druge evangeljske
besede, vsebujejo nekaj obup zbujajočega.
Zdi se, da za večino
kristjanov odzvanjajo
samo kot neko zavračanje. Gre za področje, v katerem te besede - čeprav ohranjajo radikalnost - izginejo iz
meril vsakdanjosti: lahko jih prebiramo kot klic k nenehnemu spodbujanju vesti, kot vabilo, da bi vse svoje življenje živeli v napetosti, k
nenehnemu spreobračanju, kar je v nasprotju z duhovno monotonostjo, počasnim prilagajanjem, ki vodi v navado, onstran samega bivanja.« (Mario Pomilio)
Pustimo v oklepaju priliko o krivičnem oskrbniku, pri katerem
gre za pravo in svojevrstno »zvrst« pokvarjencev, ki ne bodo nikoli
izginili iz človeške zgodovine. Osredotočimo se na vrsto Jezusovih
izrekov, ki jih je Luka zbral ob koncu. Ti postanejo mala zbirka opominov, namenjena kristjanom, o odnosu do gmotnih dobrin. Izrekov
ne moremo vedno takoj neposredno razumeti, vabijo pa nas, da bi
svoje življenje živeli v napetosti.
Začnimo s prvo, ne tako preprosto spodbudo o »prijateljih«, ki jih
pridobimo s »krivičnim bogastvom«. Za nekatere preučevalce so
»prijatelji«, o katerih je govor, angeli ali celo Bog. Vendar pa je bolj
verjetno, da gre za uboge: na tak način izrek postane veliko jasnejši
saj nam ponuja življenjsko lekcijo prav glede bogastva, ki je pogosto
»nečastno«: »Plačilo, ki ste ga utajili delavcem«, je priložnost za
»naslajanje, uživaštvo in razkošno življenje«. Res, Jezus nas spodbuja, da bogastvo poklonimo revežem, božjim »prijateljem«, da nas
VESTNIK 2022 |

bodo takrat, ko pride trenutek smrti in nam bo
vseh dobrin zmanjkalo, sprejeli v »večna bivališča«,
v nebeške »šotore«, kjer bomo vedno veseli in v miru z Bogom in z zadnjimi na zemlji, ki bodo postali
prvi v nebeškem kraljestvu.
Poglejmo izrek o zvestobi v velikem in v malem,
v »nečastnem« in »pravem« bogastvu, glede lastnih
in tujih dobrin. Beseda, ki nenehno odzvanja, je
prav »zvestoba«. Vseobsežnost darovanja sebe je
odločilna odlika. Žal je Kristus z grenkobo ugotovil,
da so »otroci tega sveta bolj prebrisani kot otroci
luči«. Da bi dosegli »nečastno bogastvo« in si ga
ohranili, žrtvujejo dušo in telo; za lažne malike so
pripravljeni žrtvovati vse, medtem ko so za prave
vrednote pogosto počasni. Oster Jezusov odziv, izražen v močni govorici, lahko pojasnimo s trdo govorico iz Razodetja: »Vem za tvoja dela, da nisi ne
mrzel ne vroč. O, ko bi le bil mrzel ali vroč! Ker pa
nisi ne vroč ne mrzel, ampak mlačen, sem pred tem,
da te izpljunem iz svojih ust« (Raz 3,15-16).
V tretjem izreku se medsebojno soočata dva
»gospodarja«, oba zahtevna. Z ene strani se dviga
Mamon (aramejska beseda, ki kaže na »lastništvo,
bogastvo, imetje« in se tu pooseblja, kot da bi šlo za
poganskega boga), na drugi strani pa je živeči Gospod. Človek je postavljen pred izbiro, ki jo Jezus
postavlja za svojega učenca kot nujnost. Gre predvsem za »služenje«, ki v svetopisemski govorici kaže na bogoslužno dejanje in češčenje. Navezanost
na stvari in na denar postane že prava in svojevrstna vera, lažna liturgija in čaščenje idolov; tu ni sredinske poti, ni mogoče, da bi v človekovem srcu
hkrati sobivali dve ljubezni.
Bog in lakomna sebičnost se torej izključujeta in
predstavljata alternativo. Prevara, da bi sledili
enemu in se ne odtrgali od drugega, je odstranjena
z Jezusovim besedami, ki so jasne in odločne. Tudi
danes se te besede dotikajo naše nezvestobe, prilagajanj in kompromisov in nas opominjajo na absolutno zahtevo in nedotakljivo čistost evangeljske
izbire.
(Prim. Oznanjevalec - C_2006/7, štev. 5)

25TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Response:
Praise the Lord who lifts up the
needy.
First Reading Amos 8:4-7
The prophet speaks in blunt terms. Religious observance without concern for
justice towards those who are poor is
nothing but empty show.
Second Reading 1 Timothy 2:1-8
Prayer is essential, not only in individual terms but as the obligation of the
whole community. It is important for
the common good that we take our responsibility to pray seriously, even
when we cannot see the results.
Gospel Luke 16:1-13
The parable of the dishonest steward
appears baffling at first sight. But the
key is in the final comment: whoever is
faithful in little is faithful in much; and
whoever is dishonest in little will be
dishonest in much.
“You cannot be the slave both of God and
of money.”

Illustration
In Dickens’ novel A Christmas Carol,
Ebenezer Scrooge learns to see the emptiness
and heartlessness of a life centred on the desire for money. Scrooge is saved by seeing the
results of his obsession with wealth. This insight unlocks his mind and heart and reveals
an unrealised capacity for love and generosity
within him. Most of us don’t get a mirror held
up to our lives in this way, and perhaps don’t
need it as starkly as Scrooge does, but it’s rare
for anyone to be satisfied that they have

enough money. The need to be secure can
blind us to the needs of others and to the
Gospel imperative to do justice to those who
are poor.
Jesus calls us blessed when we hunger
and thirst for justice. Being hungry and thirsty
isn’t a comfortable feeling and standing up
for justice will make demands on our lives. A
faith that focuses on devotion but is indifferent to the needs of others
is not an adequate response to God’s call. Our
faith will be known by its
fruits. God calls us to act
justly, love tenderly and
walk humbly with him.
Pope Francis has invited us
to become revolutionaries
of tenderness. We do this
by caring for those who
are poor and all who suffer
as if we were caring for
Jesus himself.

Gospel Teaching
Today’s parable is difficult to understand
at first sight, but it makes a telling point. Virtue needs to be kept in practice as much as
any skill we may have in life. A pianist can’t
learn to play a concerto without practising.
We can’t grow in faith, hope and love unless
we practise them on a day-to-day basis. Small
acts of kindness, justice and faith are not insignificant to God. The mystic Julian of Norwich tells us that God notices not only great
deeds, but also those that are small and simple, because not even the least of our good
deeds will be forgotten. Virtues, like vices, are
cumulative. They gather a momentum of
their own. So our little daily acts of goodness
become embedded in us and develop into a
habit of grace, just as negative habits can
become an unconscious but deadly habit that

prevents grace from flourishing in our lives.
This is demonstrated in our use of money and material
things. Especially in these times when the pandemic has had
a negative effect on many people’s disposable income, it can
be hard to think of the needs of others before our own. We
may be tempted to think that we will take care of others
once we have secured our own wellbeing. But Jesus reminds
us that our heart will be where our treasure is. If we treasure
goodness and justice above our own security, we will find
that God becomes our security and a rock on which we can
build our lives in trust.

Application
It’s frequently noticed by fundraisers and
those who work for charities that, proportionately, those who are poorer themselves tend to give more money to poor
and disadvantaged people than do the
wealthy. It is perhaps easier to see and act
on the need for justice when we have
been in need of justice ourselves. Acting
for justice, whether by campaigning and
raising awareness, by prayer or by direct
involvement in caring for those in need, is
the necessary fruit and proof of faith. A
faith that is focused mainly on devotional practice with little
or no focus on the poor and suffering Christ living among us
risks becoming merely an abstraction and a dream that has
little effect in reality. Pope Francis teaches us that God invites us to “touch the suffering flesh of Christ in others”. If
we want to come close to Jesus, the nearest way is through
our suffering sisters and brothers.
We may not feel that our contribution to the common
good is going to make much difference but, however small,
what we give day by day, whether in material terms or by
way of our actions and attitude towards our neighbour,
makes a difference to the kind of human being that we are.
This is how we grow into being “Christ for others”, especially
for those whose only access to the Gospel is through us. Jesus calls us not only to hear the Gospel but to live it in the
small actions and attitudes of our lives. This is the principal
way in which we become evangelisers of those around us.

We celebrated the end of the Summer Season
and we welcomed Back to School at our Labour Day
Long Wknd Baseball Tournament with much success. Thanks everyone for your support – by signing
up a team, by volunteering to work the event/
picnic, by attending and supporting by purchasing
food & beverages. Together – Members and
Friends – we continue to keep our Slovenian culture
alive and recreation thriving especially through the
youth and sporting events and picnics.
Lets begin with those who make sure the park is
clean, tidy and welcoming for when we enter
through the gates: Andrej Kanc and his crew, Štefka
Kanc, and our hišnik Adam Dalessio and the countless others who do not count their hours, but count
their blessings.
As always, next up the members of the Executive
who order the food, pick up the food and deliver,
get the volunteers organized and run all the aspects
of the picnic wknd – thanks to Regina & John Bell,
Gerry Finn, Louis Kopač, Josie Dubé, Nicholas
Scarcelli, and special thanks to Peter Novak and Dan
Demsar. So much hard work, long hours; but they
make it look so easy. We cannot say Thank You
enough.
Making sure our baseball players and guests did
not get “hangry” the Kitchen was open all day Sat &
Sun selling Kranjske, Schnitzels, Hotdogs, & Fries.
Many thanks to Elizabeth Smolinger, Vida Kobetič,
Maria Rogina, and Karen Simčič. Not only did they
keep guests satisfied Saturday, they even prepped
all the veggies for Sunday’s meals. Thanks ladies!
On Sunday – our Kitchen staff was Anita Manzone,
Marianne Horvat, Linda Novak, Peter Novak, and
again Elizabeth Smolinger. Thanks for working the
352 | VESTNIK 2022

who prepped Sat night: Tom Mlekuž, Isabella
Mlekuž, Matija Simčič, Emil Smolinger. Thanks to
our Sun Roasters: Emil Smolinger, Tom Mlekuž, Juri

Danny Demsar, Frances Scarcelli, Mary Ann Demsar,
Nicholas Scarcelli, Frank Gambioli, Amanda Purdon.
If you were not on the Patio – well - you certainly
missed a Slovenski Park Tradition: parents dancing
with their kids, their tweens, their teenagers, their
adult children – one of the best Slo Park memories
to share and remember! Thanks DJ’s for making the
magic happen.
Sunday the weather changed – but it did not
rain – so we held Holy Mass with Father Drago in
our outdoor chapel as we gave thanks for our blessings and glory to our creator. Thanks to those who
set up, participated in the readings, and donated to
the needs of the church. Thanks to Štefka Kanc for
cleaning, Mary Ann Demsar for organizing, and Father Drago for celebrating Mass with the Slo Park
membership and guests.
Sunday afternoon – the weather remained cold,
so the band went indoors. Thanks to Šibaj Band for
the great tunes into Sunday evening. So much
dancing, singing and fun. We are very lucky we have
Slovenian bands for your entertainment and enjoyment.
Now … let’s see …. Anything else? Of course
… the Baseball Tournament! Thanks go out to the
Competition Organizer Frank Gimpelj. After a 2
year hiatus due to Covid, Frank was able to get the
Tournament up and running again – and what a
success it was.
Special thank you to all who helped Frank make
this tournament successful including. Eric Pušič, Lee
Rumohr, Dave Pušič, Andrej Kanc, Robert Kanc, John
Kajin, Travis Blackwell, Nicolas Scarcelli & Heather.
Hosting a tournament takes a lot of work and organization and Frank was able to embrace the challenge with fortitude. Thanks so much Frank
Gimpelj, "The Comish." Baseball Tournament Report
will be given separately below.
Did I miss anything? I hope not. As you can see –
354 | VESTNIK 2022

there is always something going on at Slovenski Park to keep our Slovenian culture alive through recreation,
culture, faith, food, family & friends. We promise to keep our park this way – with events for Members, by
Members, and open to our family and friends. We are not a trailer park – we are a Slovenian Park that just
happens to have trailers. We are a cooperative working with each other - for the good of the Park. How
special are we!
Hope to see you next time – Octoberfest – Slo Park Style - Saturday October 22.nd $35-. if you prepurchase your tickers before Oct 14. Admission at the Door $40. For information contact Danny at: ddemsar1@gmail.com or 905 330 3460

SLOVENSKI PARK ANNUAL SEPTEMBER LONG WEEKEND BASEBALL TOURNAMENT 2022
Baseball was back in a big way this past long weekend at Slovenski Park! Eleven teams participated in
the return to the diamond, featuring several returning teams and some new recruits which all made for a
great tournament! Once again, through some tough competition, the Burger Buddies, led by park member
Luke Watson were crowned champions for the 7th consecutive tournament. Tournament MVPs, as voted by
the players were male MVP Lee Rumohr from the Slivo Sluggers and the female MVP Hannah Snider from
the Scared Hitless squad from Kitchener.
The Don Snider award for most sportsmanlike player for the tournament was awarded to park member
Lee Rumohr. Lee shows year after year the attitude and generosity of someone worthy of the award. His
dedication to the tournament with his willingness to help when asked is appreciated making him well deserving of this recognition.
Finally, I would be remiss not to mention the countless volunteers and members that make this event
possible. Everyone from Slovenski Park Councils and Slovenski Park members, from grounds crews to kitchen staff, which make this weekend one of the best events every year. Their dedication to the continued success of this tournament would not be possible without them. As well as all the teams that make this tournament fun and exciting, there
would not be any tournament
without them.
As the “Commissioner” of
the Baseball Tournament, I say
THANK YOU to all the members, volunteers, participants,
and spectators for making this
year’s event a great return to
the diamond and I look forward to doing it all again next
year!
Frank Gimpelj,
“The Commish”

MIDLAND 2022
V soboto, 10. septembra smo se Slovenci zbrali na
vsakoletnem romanju v Midlandu. Pri križu so ob 10:30
dopoldne pripravili komemoracijo ob nagovoru in
pesmi. Potem so se premaknili v park, kjer je sledila
molitev rožnega venca ob postajah. Vmes je bila v
cerkvi priložnost za sveto spoved.
Ob 12h smo se zbrali v cerkvi za daritev svete maše
in na koncu maše še pete litanije Matere božje. Malo
manj nas je bilo kot pred Covidom, vendar je bila cerkev kljub temu precej polna.
Pri maši je pel mešani pevski zbor iz Toronta. Maševala sva z g. Tinetom Batičem.
Po maši, pa si je vsakdo našel prostor za malico in
ogled parka.
Upamo, da nas bo drugo leto še več. Slovenci imamo rezervirano drugo soboto v septembru, tako da
lahko že naprej računate.

Vseslovenski kulturni odbor is proud to
announce that from Sep. 26 to Oct. 2, representatives from Knjižnica Koper (Koper Central Library)
will be in Toronto presenting a series of information
and seminars. They are setting up a free mobile
library of over 300 books which will be available for
rent and use to the Slovenian community out of
Župnija Brezmadežna. The visit from Knjižnica Koper is geared towards the focus of strengthening
cooperation between Slovenia and Slovenian clubs/
organizations in Canada, but primarily promoting
reading/learning/preservation of the Slovenian
language.

358 | VESTNIK 2022

This is an amazing opportunity for members of
the Slovenian Community across Ontario to access key resources for both culture and literature
straight from Slovenia!
There will be 2 public presentations for members of the Slovenian Community at Our Lady of
the Miraculous Medals Church Hall - 739 Brown's
Line:
 Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 7:00 p.m.
- Presentation and opening of the Mobile Library and presentation of the free membership to Knjižnica Koper.
- Discussion and collection of memories
 Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7:00 p.m.
- Presentation of the web portals
Kamra, Album Slovenija and Obrazi
Slovenskih pokrajin (faces of Slovenian regions)
- Presentation of web portals dobreknjige.si, Audiobook, Biblos and
their uses.
Presidents and Community representatives are also invited to join us
for a small reception to conclude the
visit from Knjižnica Koper on Friday,
September 30 at 7pm | Moya Financial Board Room - 725 Brown's Line.

September is here and the school doors are
open for another year. This means that it will
also be time for SLOVENIAN SCHOOL.
If you have a child in Kindergarten or older
in elementary school, he/she is eligible to enroll in Slovenian School. Be proud of your culture and heritage! As descendants of our small
Slovenian nation, let's make it possible for our
children to become acquainted with their ancestral homeland and learn Slovenian. One day
they will thank you for having the foresight
and the interest in sending them to Slovenian
school.
We all feel the need to offer our children
extra-curricular activities in sports, music,
dance, etc. Don't you think that it is just as important to offer them the opportunity to
broaden their intellect by learning the language of their parent or grandparents? We
urge you to think about it and send your children to SLOVENIAN SCHOOL!
Our programs are easily comprehended
and geared towards the ability of the children.
They are made along the lines of the ones we
use in English schools so that they can be easily followed and understood.
We offered our existing Sola families an
online survey to determine the best day to
hold classes and the overwhelming choice
was to keep it on Saturdays. So, starting September 24, classes will be held on Saturdays
from 9am to 12:30pm.
A registration link will be provided to existing Sola families. For any new students, please
contact Sandy at sferletic@gmail.com or 905977-8464 for the registration information or to
answer any questions.
See you at Šola!!

V sredo, 14. septembra je naše parkirišče
dobilo sveže pobarvane črte, da bo lažje pravilno parkirati. Kot ste opazili je tudi več mest
za »accesible parking«. Ni še vse končano, ker
se jim je pokvaril stroj. Pridejo še dokončat.

V tem tednu so naslednje obletnice smrti
