Stewardship Note. "Did not God choose those who are poor in the
world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised
to those who love him?" (James 2:5) What is more important -
being rich in faith or rich in possessions? Society teaches us that
possessions are most important. God teaches a different lesson.
When we are rich in faith we know that material things really do
not matter and we are more willing to share what we have.
GENUINE FREEDOM. People thirstfor genuine innerfreedom.
They yearn for the life which Christ came to give in abundance.
Pope John Paul II

BOWOD

See Beyond Outward Appearances.
The phrase Sunday best has lost much
of its meaning in our society today.
l
Some lament the loss of people dressing
up for church on Sunday; others think
it's a healthy sign that we're as casual in attire gathered
before the Lord as we are elsewhere. No matter which
school of thought on this topic we belong to, James would
probably chastise us. In either case, we are still focused on
external appearance, mistaking it for some sort of favored
position before God. True, James criticizes the community
that favors the rich and well-dressed while ostracizing the
poorly clothed, but even more he criticizes the making of
distinctions, making choices based on criteria that have
nothing to do with the reign of God. James might turn our
attention to the reign of God described by Isaiah, in which
people are healed and the earth becomes ripe to bear fruit.
Jesus today is focused on this reign of God, healing a
Gentile man in a region hostile to his Jewish faith, not
mindful of the man's origins or clothing or status or ability
to repay. Isaiah, James, and Jesus in Mark's Gospel all call
us to look more deeply to find where the will of God needs
to be done, and has been done, on earth as in heaven.
The second collection this weekend is for Diocesan Obligations
The second collection next weekend is for Phase III
NOVENA TO THE DIVINE MERCY
Today is the first Sunday of the month which has been set aside
for special devotions to the Divine Mercy. This afternoon at 3 p.m.
we will sing the chaplet to the Divine Mercy, spend some time in
meditation and conclude the service with benediction.
MONDAY IS LABOR DAY
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday
.. observed on the first Monday in September.
K
The first Labor Day in the United States was
celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York
City. In the aftermath of the deaths of a
number of workers at the hands of the US
military and US Marshals during the 1894
Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland
put reconciliation with Labor as a top political
priority. Fearing further conflict, legislation
making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress
unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of
the strike. All 50 U.S. states have made Labor Day a state holiday.
Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the
symbolic end of the summer. Forms of celebration include picnics,
barbecues, fireworks displays, water sports, and public art events.
We wish all a pleasant and safe Labor Day!
The rectory and school offices will be closed on Monday in
keeping with the policy of the Diocese.
