On Sunday, August 30th, Fr. Czok took a fall and suffered a broken hip. It was replaced the next day and he is currently going through rehab. He is unable to receive visitors but Fr. Rodriguez has been in contact with him almost every day and he is in good spirits. Please keep him in your prayers. Fr. Rodriguez will keep us updated on his progress.

Fr. Slawomir Sobiech who has been assisting us in this parish for the past four years has been reassigned and will be moving to his new parish effective September 15th. We thank Fr. Slawomir for his service at St. Rose and wish him the best in the next chapter of his priesthood. Because of continued restrictions and health precautions we cannot have a formal farewell for him, but will have a simple gathering in the school parking lot TODAY after the 12:30 Mass.

OPEN: WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY -- 9AM TO 1PM Spiritual Communion Prayer My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Take a few quiet minutes each day with the readings. As you reflect on a Scripture passage, ask yourself: What does the Scripture passage say? What does the Scripture passage mean? What does the Scripture passage mean to me? What am I going to do about it? What is the challenge of today's Scripture Passage? ------

Tuesday: 1 Cor 12:12-14, 27-31a; Ps 100:1b-5; Jn 19:25-27 or Lk 2:33-35

Wednesday: 1 Cor 12:31 — 13:13; Ps 33:2-5, 12, 22; Forgiveness Lk 7:31-35

Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted Thursday: 1 Cor 15:1-11; Ps 118:1b-2, 16ab-17, 28; Lk 7:36-50 ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each Friday: 1 Cor 15:12-20; Ps 17:1bcd, 6-8b, 15; other again. Lk 8:1-3 Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The Saturday: 1 Cor 15:35-37, 42-49; Ps 56:10c-14; son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father Lk 8:4-15 motioned his son to him and whispered: “Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from Sunday: Is 55:6-9; Ps 145:2-3, 8-9, 17-18; loving you?” Phil 1:20c-24, 27a; Mt 20:1-16a Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the commandments. As St. Paul MERCY writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and die Dost thou wish to receive mercy? for the Lord. Show mercy to thy neighbor. Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel reminds us of —St. John Chrysostom

God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has FAITH been forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to Faith is the union of God with the soul. forgive others in the same way. © J. S. Paluch Co. —St. John of the Cross

“St. John Chrysostom, one of the greatest Early great affection. His devotion to the written Word of Church Fathers of the 5th Century, was born God was matched by a love of the Eucharist and around 347 AD. St. John became a monk and was of divine worship. To this day, the principal ordained a priest to serve the Church in Antioch “Byzantine” liturgy celebrated by most Slavic, where his eloquent preaching on the Sacred Greek, and middle-eastern Christians is known as Scriptures earned him the title of “Chrysostom,” the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. St. John meaning golden-mouthed.” In 398, Chrysostom Chysostom, who died under the harsh conditions of was called upon to assume the responsibilities of his exile in 407, will always be remembered as one the Patriarch Archbishop of Constantinople, much of the greatest of the Early Church Fathers and one to his chagrin. This reluctant patriarch nevertheless of the greatest preachers of all time. Due to his fulfilled his duty with extraordinary energy and holiness and beautiful but always practical bible courage. St. John Chrysostom’s call to repentance teaching, St. John Chrysostom is regarded as and moral reform won him the enmity of the a “Doctor of the Church” by Catholics and one of nominally Christian Empress who had him deposed the three Holy Hierarchs and Ecumenical teachers and exiled on trumped-up charges. But his by Eastern Orthodox Christians.
