A few words from Fr. Dariusz
In today’s First Reading, Isaiah encourages the chosen people not to be afraid of God. He tells them to be strong
and not fear because God will come and save them. In the days of this great prophet, the chosen people of God
continuously lived in fear of the Lord. They had just cause to fear Him for they all knew how their ancestors
had endured the wrath of God when they had hardened their hearts and disobeyed His Commandments. At the
same time, they also knew that as long as they obeyed the Lord God, they would receive all kinds of blessings.
Prior to the coming of Jesus, many prophets had come and gone. Through many of them, the grace of God was
manifested and miraculous wonders were seen. But, one sign stood out, that particular one being reserved to Jesus. That sign was “The
blind shall see.” This is why the New Testament emphasizes so much that Jesus healed the blind in fulfillment of the prophecies of the
Old Testament. This particular sign was expected of the Messiah. It was like a Divine Trademark.
“The blind shall see,” had two meanings. In the first sense, it’s meaning was literal and worldly. The blind being able to see. In the second sense, it was a reference to the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit and the spiritual heart that is received through our new creation during the Sacrament of Baptism. Through the grace of God, the spiritual heart has the faculty to perceive what is spiritual. It perceives the
mysteries of God that have been revealed through Jesus Christ.
Today’s Gospel Reading is a confirmation of the many prophecies that are found in the Old Testament, including those mentioned earlier
during the First Reading. Jesus miraculously healed the an who was deaf and who had an impediment in his speech. Astounded beyond
measure, those who were present said that Jesus has done everything well.
Not only has Jesus physically healed the man, but through His Blood, He has renewed mankind. He has created a new world, the Kingdom of God, through the Sacrament of Baptism. By the grace of God the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit, we are new creations.
We need God to touch our ears in order to be able to hear His word, and we need Him to touch our tongues in order to profess our faith.
God bless you all,
Fr. D.

What is RCIA? It is the Rite of Christian

RCIA is an adult Catholic program for
education and spiritual preparation prior
to entry into the Roman Catholic Church

led by a team who will help guide the
program participants through the faith
journey. In addition, participants have
individual sponsors to pray with and discuss topics throughout the program.
For some of our adults, you may have
missed making your Sacrament of Confirmation; this is the program for you.
If you have any questions at any time

Quote of the Week: “In my own life I well know how hard it is for me to trust that I
am loved, and to trust that the intimacy I most crave is there for me. I most often live as
if I have to earn love, do something noteworthy, and then perhaps I might get something
in return. This attitude touches the whole question of what is called in the spiritual life,
the “First Love.” Do I really believe that I am loved first, independent of what I do or
what I accomplish? This is an important question because as long as I think that what I
most need I have to earn, deserve and collect by hard work, I will never get what I most
need and desire, which is a love that cannot be earned, but that is freely given. Thus, my
return is my willingness to renounce such thoughts and to choose to live more and more
from my true identity as a cherished child of God. - - Henri Nouwen
An open invitation: Are you awesome? Have you always been awesome? Do you wish
you could meet other awesome people just like you? Well look no further then Our Lady
of the Angels Youth Group. We are the keepers of awesomeness. But we need you to
stop by and add to this amazing phenomenon. So if you are between the ages of 10 to

by the Youth Loft Sunday nights from 6:30 to 8pm. And begin your awesome journey
into fulfilling your faith. See you there!

FESTIVAL NEEDS:
Please look around your house for a

of a donation of one for next year’s Festival. Even just the frame would be great
as we can purchase a new canopy top.
Please call 313-802-9038 if you can help.
Also we are looking for
two very special people:
(1) Sponsor ad sign maker
(2) Mexican Booth Chairperson
If you are an artist or art student, we
need you! Please call 313-802-9038.
Your talent is truly needed.
The fundraiser held at Saveland Supermarket on Sunday, August 23rd was a great success that generated some wonderful donations for our food pantry. We sincerely thank
Saveland Supermarket (corner of Pelham & Champaign) for graciously allowing us to
hold this event. This market not only provided space on their parking lot and loaned us
the grill for the cooking but also donated all the hot dogs, chips, beverages, etc. that
were sold. After paying our expenses, we netted $1,721. Then Saveland generously
added $79 for a grand total of $1,800. To make things even better, we received donations from some of our parishioners / workers to bring the GRAND TOTAL to $2,000.
This is not the first time this store has donated their facility and food so we deeply appreciate their wonderful generosity because all the proceeds will be used to buy perishable foods and much needed items for the pantry. We also want to thank those members
from our parish who manned the booths, cooked the food, sold the Raffle Tickets and
kept everyone smiling. They even provided music! Fund raisers not only generate
funds to keep our programs going but they’re activities that encourage people to work
together and support each other for a cause that benefits the needy. We are very grateful
to the staff at Saveland for sharing our parish’s mission to feed those in need. We
strongly encourage our parishioners to patronize this establishment and let them know
how much we appreciate their efforts and generosity. This market is to be commended
for the wonderful support they give us. Let’s show our appreciation by shopping at this
market.
THANKS AGAIN SAVELAND!
Food Pantry Committee
We would also request that all food donations be checked for the expiration dates
because our policy is not to give food that has expired.
FOOD PANTRY DONATIONS
Thank You.
Cash and checks are needed to buy perishable items. Checks should be made out to:
Our Lady of the Angels SVdP Food Pantry. All monetary donations should be

Saturday, September 12th
Please attend one of these special Memorial Services for unborn children
killed by abortion and buried at cemeteries in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
Give these victims of abortion the respect they deserve!
Come one, Come all!!! The contemporary music group serving the 12 noon
Mass on Sundays is looking for more
talented people to join us. Our group is
up-beat and uses modern music of all
kinds. If you are interested in singing or
playing an instrument with a fun group,
please give me a call. We would really
love to have a pianist. We also need a
percussionist (drums, bongos, etc.). Of
course we would value any other instrument you play.
In a contemporary group such as ours, we
can use and incorporate almost any instrument and a musician with any
amount of talent. Let the Spirit move
through you.
Voices of course are always needed. We
will teach you if group singing is new to
you. Don’t let that stop you.
For more information please contact me
(Susi) at 734-225-7555, or leave your
name at the rectory at 313-381-3000.

OUR PRAYER GARDEN
The bricks we ordered several weeks
ago were installed in our beautiful
Prayer Garden last week. The garden is
in bloom and as we walk through it, we
can admire all the different aspects that
make it such an attractive part of our
Church grounds. A commemorative
brick can have a very special meaning.
It is a way of remembering someone
who has passed away or can serve as a
special keepsake to honor family members and friends. We suggest that you
take a moment to stroll through the garden and look at the many bricks honoring loved ones and the plants and flowers that make the garden a quiet place to
spend a few moments enjoying the
peaceful atmosphere. The garden is a
memento befitting our parish that signifies the love and unity that draws us
closer together as God’s family. Bricks
can be purchased by either filling out
the form in the Parish Office or on the
Parish website. The cost is $110 with 3
lines of inscription. Each line can accommodate 14 characters including the
spaces. Symbols can also be inscribed
on the bricks at a cost of $5.00 for each
one. The form with the symbols is
available in the parish office. Please
consider buying a brick to honor those
who are important to you.
