©Liturgical Publications Inc.
It is hard to believe that the new school year has already
begun, but the relentless passage of time reminds us that it
waits for no one...ready or not! So, the best thing we can
do is to make ourselves ready and go with the flow of time,
since we really have little choice.
The Scriptures this week-end take a very positive
approach to the inevitable passage of time by helping us
realize what a wonderful gift we have in God, who is
always so good to us, although sometimes we may not
think such is the case. The Book of Deuteronomy enjoins us
to hear the statutes and decrees of the Lord AND to have
the good sense to observe them, because hearing alone is
not enough. If we do observe them and practice them, we
will give witness to the fact that we are a wise and
intelligent people who have wise and intelligent guides to
lead us, which ultimately leads others to marvel at God,
who is the source of such wisdom in the first place. How
good it is for all of us to marvel at the wisdom, kindness
and generosity of God whom, unfortunately, we so often
overlook.
The second reading continues in this theme, reminding us
rather bluntly, "Be doers of the word and not hearers only,
deluding yourselves." Obviously, hearing the Word of God
is important and is a necessary step before we can actually
do what the Word demands of us. But if we only hear the
Word without it having a consequent effect on our actions,
we are missing the point entirely. Just as we say, "it is not
enough to know ABOUT Jesus, it is necessary to KNOW
Jesus." All of this fits together!
The gospel takes another view and reminds us not to get
caught up with non-essentials. This has happened often
enough when we consider the Pharisees who were often
well-meaning, but allowed themselves to get stuck on non-
essential things at the cost of ignoring or overlooking things
that are essential. In the worst case, they became obsessed
with minutiae to such a degree that even touching an object
could be the cause of being "defiled" to such a degree that a
person would be cut off from the rest of the community.
Jesus reminds them that nothing "that enters a person from
the outside can defile him, but the things that come from
within can defile." Some of those defilements are then listed:
"...evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery... These
come from within, and they defile."
All this reminds us to tidy up our own houses first before
we start criticizing others. So, we need to be doers of the
word and not hearers only. This is meant to apply to
ourselves first of all before we start applying it to other
people. As always, we can only start with ourselves, but
just think of how much better off we would all be if we just
started with ourselves.
“Why do your disciples not follow
the tradition of the elders but
instead eat a meal with unclean
hands?” He responded, “Well did
Isaiah prophesy about you
hypocrites, as it is written: This
people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far
from me.” - Mk 7:5b-6

Today Jesus teaches us what really matters are
the intentions of our hearts. Bad intentions lead
to angry outbursts with name-calling and
put-downs. These are violent acts that “defile” our
relationships. No one wins; everyone loses. Examine
your heart and open it to God’s love and grace.

signs, teachers eagerly awaited
the arrival of their students this
past Wednesday. The excitement
was palpable as the children
arrived, shouted hello as they
passed former teachers and raced
down the ha l l to new
beginnings. While some may have
been a bit nervous, teachers and
students alike, by the time the
8:05 bell rang, children were
seated, teachers were taking lunch
count and SBTV could
be heard from every
classroom. In a year
where we will focus on
a healthy body, healthy
mind and healthy spirit,
these first few weeks of

Funeral Ministry - A Work Of
Corporal Mercy If you have a
calling to console bereaved
families after the loss of a loved
one, the Funeral Ministry is for you, and we invite you to
join us. Members of this ministry attend parish funerals as
they are able, and provide consolation during this difficult
time by their very presence. Families draw comfort from
hearing our ministry recite the responses, sing the Mass
music, and pray with them as they celebrate the life of their
loved one. We practice the Corporal Works of Mercy as we
help bury the dead. There are no rehearsals for
the Funeral Ministry. Members are simply notified of
upcoming funerals by email and attend independently, and
without obligation, whenever they are able. For more
information, please contact Pam Franko at: 330-468-3239

The RCIA: A Journey of Faith Since Jesus
invited His first followers to, “Come,
follow me”, the image of journey has been
used to describe Christian discipleship. For
each of us faith is a journey marked with moments of
conversion along the way…..we move from unbelief to
initial faith, from sin to repentance, from painful isolation
to the joyful experience of a loving community, from fear
to love.
Faith, conversion, repentance, celebration and
community – five basic elements that are present in the Rite
of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). The RCIA provides
a setting where the journey of faith and moments of
conversion can be celebrated within the local Church
community. Gatherings begin in September!

50+ COMMUNITY I have to smile at the
Gospel for this week and you probably will
do the same. The Pharisees are complaining
to Jesus that His disciples do not wash their
hands before they eat. As a teacher, I watched the children,
when it was time for lunch, rush to the lunchroom and
devour their lunch so that they could get to the playground
for recess. No washing of hands. As we were growing up
we did the same thing. Currently, we are encouraged to
wash our hands frequently. We wash our hands for fear of
catching the virus and the Jewish people washed hands
according to the laws that God gave to the people of Israel.
They knew that He cared for them. And we know that our
God cares for us as well. We need only to listen to those
officials who make the laws for our benefit. But these are
human rules. Today we need to focus on the law of God
which is much more important. It is the law that brings joy,
the kind of joy and delight that we see in Jesus. Jesus
delighted in helping people. It gave him great pleasure to
make other people happy. He provided wine at a wedding
party, he enjoyed a good meal, often with Lazarus, Martha
and Mary. He took pleasure in the company of sinners. He
has given us laws for our well-being, to help make our
world a better place to be. It is the law that brings joy, the
kind of joy and delight that we see in Jesus. So what's the
best way to be a good Christian? We begin by doing what
Jesus asks us to do, love God above all and our neighbor as
ourselves. Learn to be happy and to enjoy life with its
pleasures. After all, Jesus did!
Our first 50+ meeting, after a long hiatus, will be Friday,
September 10, at 2:00 p.m. in the Parish Center. We
welcome everyone back. Masks are encouraged. Itineraries
will be available at this meeting for our Lancaster trip
on September 22-24. Masks (please bring a few) are a must
as we travel to Pittsburgh, especially in the Sight and Sound
Theater and in this time of uncertainty. We pray that we all
remain safe and healthy.

There will be a special second collection next weekend in
response to the earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace
calamities in Haiti. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB), has asked all U.S. bishops to take up a voluntary
special collection in their dioceses for the Bishops
Emergency Disaster Fund. The people of Haiti are likely to
see ongoing hardship in the weeks ahead as they begin
recovery and rebuilding efforts. Moreover, many parish
churches, chapels, schools, and clinics were devastated
which will impact faith communities for years. Thank you
for your generosity.

BUNDLE SUNDAY IS COMING! Bundle Sunday is coming
the weekend of September 11/12. Start cleaning out those
closets! Decluttering your home of unused and unwanted
stuff can make you happier. Maybe it’s time to start
“TIDYING UP”. Now is the time to donate those gently
worn clothing and household items that you haven’t used in
ages. A Cleveland Furniture Bank truck will be in the church
parking lot that weekend. Your donations will be given to
their Thrift Shop that serves over 45,000 customers annually
who may not have the financial means to shop in regular
retail outlets. Please, no large furniture at this time.
Volunteers will be on hand to accept your donations of
clothing, household goods, small appliances and furniture.
We cannot accept baby cribs or car seats due to liability
issues. See the insert in today’s bulletin.
SVDP NEWS
∞ ST. VINCENT DE PAUL AND YOU ∞
Notes from the Blue Army: In an article titled, You Have
Three Best Friends: Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph, Fr. Edward
Broom OMV writes, “One of the greatest sufferings that we
can undergo is that of feeling alone, abandoned, that
nobody really cares for us. If you like, an intense, crushing
loneliness. One of the best ways that we can cope with and
overcome this state of desolation is to cultivate a constant,
keen and growing awareness of three Persons who want to
play an essential part in our lives. They are present to us at
all times, but we are often not present to them; sad to say,
at times we are totally oblivious to their presence. Who are
these important Persons? They are the three members of the
Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph. How ironic is this
statement: we are often too busy to talk to them; but they
are never too busy to enter into conversation with us! What
then are some practical ways in which we can cultivate this
awareness of these three best friends in our daily walk of
life? Indeed, we must have some concrete reminders.” (Fr.
Broom provides five reminders. Here are the first two. We
will continue with the final three next week.)
1. MORNING OFFERING. Start off every day, every
morning, by consecrating yourself to Jesus, Mary and St.
Joseph. Offer to Jesus through Mary and St. Joseph, your
day and all that will transpire during the course of the day.
By doing so, they will walk with you during the day and
you will be walking with them. As such, keep them in mind,
and this crushing state or feeling of loneliness will in great
part be conquered.
2. IMAGES IN YOUR ROOM. Make sure that you have a
painting, picture, icon or statue of Jesus, of Mary, and of St.
Joseph in your room. You might also have a picture or
painting of the Holy Family—Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph
together—on the wall greeting you every time you enter
your room and you should greet them back. Thanks be to
God for the proper use of images and sacramentals that so
easily lift our minds, hearts and souls soaring to God and the
Holy Family! Every time you return home to your room,
Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph are truly there to greet you, and
they are waiting for you to acknowledge and greet them as
well!

September Morning Prayer for Women. Monday,

prayer group will refresh your spirit and help you find
strength in regular prayer habits. Just bring your Bible and

Walking the Sacred Path. Sunday, September 26, 2:00 -

autumnal equinox, we invite you to come pray and
meditate as you walk our (temporary) labyrinth in the JRC
meadow. Walking the labyrinth invites you into intentional
prayer for yourself, for family or friends, for our world or
our local community. It invites us to pray with our bodies,
our hearts, our minds, and our souls. FREE

September 27, 7:00 - 9:00pm. We continue our movie

Offering.

PRO-LIFE
NOVENA PRAYER in Gratitude for MOTHER TERESA OF
CALCUTTA continues through Sunday, September 5, her
Feast Day. See last week’s bulletin or go to

Calcutta was a humble and faithful nun, who lovingly took
care of the poor and dying, and who said that the greatest
destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
