Blessed Mother Teresa To Be Canonized
The cry of Jesus on the Cross, ‘I thirst’ (Jn 19: 28), expressing the depth of God's longing for
man, penetrated Mother Teresa's soul and found fertile soil in her heart.”
—Pope John Paul II. On September 4, Blessed Mother Teresa would be canonized a Saint.
Mother Teresa will be most remembered for her selfless charity. She worked with the poorest of
the poor in Calcutta (Kolkata), India, serving lepers and others who would otherwise suffer without care. Her services were given freely and her example was followed by the sisters in the order
she founded, the Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa has inspired thousands of followers in
several different nations as well as individual acts of kindness around the globe. She has been
mentioned as a charitable inspiration by many people. She puts it well in her words “Let us touch
the dying, the poor, the lonely, and the unwanted”
"Prayer: The Faith Prayed"
This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 18, 2016 and will be the
beginning of our children’s faith formation classes. Catechism classes will take place immediately following the 10AM Sunday Mass. We thank those who serve as catechists for their ministry
and dedication. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to 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. Parents endeavor to sign your children up for faith formation. Make sure that
they attend the classes each week.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I
can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a
time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I
may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.
Italian Earthquake: Please keep the people of Amatrice, Accomoli, Posta, and others in your
prayers where earthquakes occurred in the early hours of last Wednesday. I lived in Amatrice
when I was studying in Italy. Amatrice is a beautiful community with about 2500 all year round
residents but during summer months the number increased to over 25,000 residents. It was reported that “half of the town no longer exits”. The historic center of the town, with buildings dating
from the Middle Ages, was destroyed. Please pray for the victims, their families, and survivors.
May they find God’s consolation through the kindness of many people. We entrust those who
lost their lives to our loving Mary, Mother of God, praying for the comfort of those mourning and
the strength for those rebuilding.
