- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Twenty-Second
Sunday of Ordinary time
-
- We cannot help but sense in today’s Gospel the
intensity of Peter’s argument with Jesus and of Jesus’
disappointment in Peter. Even though Peter misunderstood, his
friendship with Jesus is deep. It is from such a relationship
that genuine faith flows.
Adults: In what ways might I have allowed my faith
to become a matter of routine and mental assent rather than a
personal relationship?
Children: How has Jesus’ love for me allowed
me to do difficult things?
LABOR DAY
Monday is a national holiday. Begin the day
with prayer to celebrate the gift of work and the dignity of
all who labor.
Mass will be celebrated in the church at
9:00 a.m.

- LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
Receiving the Body of Christ
Although
some continue to receive on the tongue, common current practice
is to approach with one hand cupping the other, both with palms
up. This is a gesture of supplication and receptivity, of asking
to receive and of being open to receiving.

REST IN
PEACE
We offer our sympathy and prayers to the Tindongan,
Schloss, and Denhart families. Cynthia Tindongan’s mom,
Sue White; Joseph Schloss’s dad, Richard;
and Dan Denhart’s mom, Marge, all passed away
recently. May they and all who have died, rest in the peace of
our Lord.
RESPECT LIFE
On the eve of the Pope’s visit to the
United States, it was reported that he had experienced the horror
of the Holocaust first hand in the death at Nazi hands of a cousin
with Down Syndrome. A Holocaust expert has noted that the medical
crimes of the Holocaust “started with the acceptance of
the attitude basic to the euthanasia movement, that there is
such a thing as a life not worthy to be lived.” --(Dr. Leo Alexander, NEJM article,
1949)

depth of their love for one another.
The next Marriage Encounter weekend is October
17-19 in Akron. Contact telephone number 330-305-9963, email
WorldwideME@sbcglobal.net or go to our website www.wwme.org Please don’t procrastinate because this is
