1 Michael the The Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 17, 2017 Rev. Fr. Dale Branson, Pastor For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy it; you may even find yourselves fighting against God.

Remember, before the reform of our prayer in the late 1960s, the priest whispered the words of the Roman Canon, Eucharistic Prayer I. His voice was not amplified, his back was to the people, who could only tell what was going on by a shift in his posture as he bowed and genuflected and as bells were rung to indicate his progress through the prayer. With the emergence of the new prayers, some feared that the old prayer would be lost forever if it weren't somehow changed. The reformers asked that it be streamlined a bit by omitting the repeated "Through Christ" at the end of various intercessions, and trimming the list of somewhat obscure saints. The new edition therefore brackets parts of the two lists of saints in the prayer, unfortunately dropping all the women from the second set. The decision was also made to keep the Lord's words at the consecration exactly the same in every Eucharistic Prayer, although there is precedent for more variety. On November 2, 1968, Pope Paul VI signed off on the plan of the new Mass, and by April 1969, the publication of the revised order of Mass was announced. Rev. James Field, copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

7 You Did It for Me For students like Amina, in Benin, Africa, the free, nutritious meal the Food for Education program provides is often the only meal of their day. It s a strong incentive to stay in school. Your help can ease suffering and restore hope for our brothers and sisters. CRS witnesses the benefits of the program and is concerned by a proposal in Congress to eliminate it. Learn more at: crs.org/you-did-it-for-me
