MASS SCHEDULE
Sunday: 9:30 a.m.
BAPTISMS
Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole
Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit,
and the door which gives access to the other
sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed
from sin and reborn as sons of God; we
become members of Christ, are incorporated
into the Church and made sharers in her
mission: Since Baptism is not a private celebration,
but an incorporation in the large community
of the Church, Baptisms are ordinarily
celebrated on the fourth Sunday
of each Month after the 9:30 a.m. and
11:00 a.m. Masses.
WEDDINGS
Couples intending Marriage should call
the Rectory at least six months in
advance of the planned date.
RCIA
Please call the Rectory if you know of
someone who is interested in learning
about the Catholic Faith.

PARISH COUNCIL MEMBERS, MARK YOUR
CALENDARS: I understand that it has been some time
since I met with our parish council. However, although
there is nothing urgent, please mark your calendars for
Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 6:30pm, in upper Sargus Hall.
After the summer months, it would be good to get
together just to catch up.
THE HAZY, LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER: We
continue with excerpts from The Catechism of the
Catholic Church, Simplified. These excerpts contain the
true teachings of the Catholic Church, but are easier to
read and understand.
The Bishops and Tradition (77-79)
The apostles established bishops as their successors with
the authority to teach. This apostolic preaching,
especially as expressed in the inspired books, must be
preserved through a continuous line of apostolic
succession.
This living transmission is called Tradition. It is distinct
from, yet closely united with, sacred Scripture.
God’s revelation will always remain active and present n
the church because God still speaks to the church, and
the Spirit still leads believers into full truth.
Same Source and Goal (80)
Both sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture (which are
bound closely together) flow from a common source and
have the same goal. They make present the mystery of
Christ who always remains with the church.
Two Modes - Scripture and Tradition (81-82)
Sacred Scripture is God’s speech written under the
breath of the Holy Spirit. Tradition transmits, in its
entirety, the word of God to the apostles’ successors.
The church does not derive her certainty about revealed
truths from Scripture alone. Both Scripture and Tradition
must be equally honored.
What the Apostles Learned (83)
This tradition came from what the apostles learned from
Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The first generation church
had no written New Testament and the New Testament
itself shows the process of a living Tradition. This
Tradition must be distinguished from various types of
traditions (liturgical, theological, etc.) which grew up in
local churches and is subject to church magisterium.
Faithful to the Teaching (84)
By adhering to this Tradition, the people remain faithful
to the apostolic teaching. Thus, there should be a
remarkable harmony between the bishops and the
faithful.
May God bless you for your
goodness to his Church for the week of

An Authentic Interpretation (85-87)
Giving an authentic interpretation of God’s word
(written or oral) belongs to the teaching office of the
church, that is, to the bishops in communication with the
Pope, who exercise their authority in Jesus’ name.
This magisterium is not superior to God’s word, because
the church teaches what has been handed down by the
Spirit, expounding God’s word from the single deposit
of faith. By their docility to their pastors, the faithful
hear the words of Christ: “He who hears you, hears me”
(Lk 10:16).
REST IN PEACE: Please remember in
your prayers the kind repose of the soul of
Bruno Calovini, father of Msgr. Gerald
Calovini, whose funeral Mass was
celebrated Friday at St. Mary’s Church in
St. Clairsville, OH. May his soul and the souls of all the
faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen. Memorial donations can be made to the Lafferty
Volunteer Fire Dept., 70191 Irwin St., Lafferty OH
43951.
REST IN PEACE: Please remember in your prayers the
kind repose of the soul of Ann Cola,
mother of Joseph Cola. May her soul and
the souls of all the faithful departed
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

“If I find fifty innocent people in Sodom,
I will spare the whole place.”
(pertaining to today’s first reading: Genesis 18:20-32)
The great dicker between Abraham and God over the fate of Sodom is one of my favorites Old Testament stories.
Neither party argues that Sodom is a wonderful city that should survive for its own sake: that ship has sailed. The
best Abraham can do is voice the proposition that God’s not the kind of deity who’s unjust or arbitrary in dealing
with humanity. Innocent people shouldn’t suffer along with the guilty in God’s world. It’s as simple as that. God
agrees. So the dealing begins: are fifty good people enough to save the city? The dickering gets down to ten measly
folk, and God still can’t locate them. The city is doomed. Yet God spares Lot’s family, kin to Abraham, though
they number only four. Abraham is right: God is that kind of God. We also learn something about ourselves in this
story: Abraham shows us we have nothing to fear in arguing with God. (Alice Camille)
Is your relationship with God too polite?
Are you willing to level with God when you object to the direction things are headed?
“And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
(Luke 11:9)
“Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains, mercy receives.” (St. Peter Crysologus)
PRAYER FOR MERCY: Lord, help me to be as merciful to those who offend me as you are with me when I
offend you.
