Therefore, life is always ripe for revelry as we use our strength against the weak. But the response of Wisdom goes on to say that they erred, /. / For God formed man to be imperishable ;/ / the souls of the just are in the hand of God (2:21 3:1). Second Reading: James 3:16 4:3 In today s passage, James returns to the topic of division, this time both within the individual and in the community. The Cause is jealousy James condemned had generated conflicts that he compared to war and murder. Gospel: Mark 9 : The death that Jesus was going toward was politically and physically appalling. Religiously it was considered proof of the person s Godforsakenness. Jesus, seeing the disciples opinions about rank, declares that God is to be found where they least expect or want to go. The just one will suffer, but God will not abandon him.

Baptisms Antonio Bale III Angela Grace Daguio Isabelle Demotica Jonah Espinoza Hamilton Fortich Eligh Garrido Josiah Rae Lamug Kahea Sanqui Jayzel Sevilleja Congratulations and Welcome to Our Family! Today s second reading warns that a heart consumed with avarice and envy leads to jealousy, strife, conflicts, and disputes. A giving heart, in contrast, can sing instead with the psalmist, Freely will I offer you sacrifice; I will praise your name, O Lord, for its goodness. ST.

Join us as we celebrate God s creatures in the tradition of St. Francis Of Assisi. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. This weekend we celebrate Catechetical Sunday! (Sept. 20) ~On this Catechetical Sunday, let us reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.~ Those whom this community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth at the 11:00 am Mass for a special blessing. Please keep them in your prayers: St. Francis of Assisi It s that time of year again!

6 Liturgy Corner Reverence Present at the Eucharist as the people of God, we share an awesome task. We the baptized are the ones God has chosen to be a royal priesthood. At Eucharist, the task of the whole people is priestly. We give thanks to God and offer the perfect sacrifice, the Body and Blood of Christ, together with ourselves. It is not the presider alone who makes this offering it is all of us. Consequently, attention to our duty is critical for a meaningful celebration of the Eucharist. The church asks us to act with reverence for the Eucharist, for our role in it, and for the community. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says the faithful should endeavor to make their role clear by their deep religious sense and their charity toward all who participate with them in the celebration (95). Reverence and charity may take different forms. Entering the church, we greet those with whom we will celebrate this Mass. We sign ourselves with water that recalls our priestly mission. We bow to the altar where our thanksgiving will be made or we genuflect to the tabernacle if it is central in the sanctuary. We sing the songs. We make the responses. We listen to God s word. We pray all the prayers, even those spoken by the presider alone. We share the Eucharist in faith. At times our actions may threaten the task we perform. When we needlessly attend to other matters or neglect the songs and silences and prayers, we make it difficult for ourselves and for others to carry the reverence and charity needed for our task. Mass is not like watching a band perform music; it s like playing an instrument in the band. Sometimes you play with everyone else; sometimes you rest; sometimes you solo. But we all make the music. It requires attention and teamwork. To carry out our priestly mission we practice reverence for God and charity for one another. If someone else s idea of reverence conflicts with yours, practice charity. It helps us fulfill our awesome task. She was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. ---Matthew 1:18 Reflectio n ~ On September 8th,we celebrate the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, chosen by God to be His own mother. We need Mary s example more than ever because so many mothers are afraid to be mothers, and so many opinion-makers in our society have forgotten what motherhood really means. Prayer ~ Mary, I pray for all who are pregnant and afraid that they may find new hope and strength to say Yes to God s plan as you did.
