Dear Heavenly Father, My parish is composed of people like me; I help make it what it is.

It will be friendly, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.

It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a parish with a noble spirit, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore, with Your help, O God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all things that I want my parish to be.

Amen. Author unknown Join your St. Angela Merici Family

2ND Collection Next Weekend September 5th & 6th F L M

If a person approached you and asked about the Sacrament of Baptism, what would your response be?

1213 Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gate- way to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), 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: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."

W B I?

B T: Mark 10:14 —- “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

John 3:5 —- “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.”

Acts 2:28-29 —- Peter [said] to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ…..and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 16:15, 33 — After she and her household had been baptized…..…..then he and all his family were baptized at once.

C F: Hippolytus —- “Baptize first the children, and if they can speak for themselves let them do so. Otherwise, let their parents or other relatives speak for them”

Gregory of Nazianzus — “Do you have an infant child? Allow sin no opportunity; rather, let the infant be sanctified from childhood. From his most tender age let him be consecrated by the Holy Spirit.”

St. Augustine — "The custom of Mother Church in baptizing infants is certainly not to be scorned, nor regarded as superfluous, nor is it to be believed that its tradition is anything except apostolic.”

S A: A human being is composed of body, mind and spirit and the three must be nurtured and cared for. Baptism is the most important way an infant can receive the proper spiritual nourishment taught by the parents, the first educators of the faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church #1251 says: “Christian parents will recognize that this practice of infant baptism also accord with their role as nurturers of the life that God has entrusted to them.” PARISH LIFE Scripture Readings Mass Intentions for the Week AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sat 29th 5:00 pm †Estrella Cruz Sun 30th Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time Sun 30th 10:00 am †Vincent Anigbogu Tues 1st World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation 1:00 pm †Edward Clark Thurs 3rd St. Gregory the Great Fri 4th First Friday Sat 5th First Saturday; Blessed Virgin Mary Mon 31st 9:00 am †Julie Jurica Tues 1st 9:00 am †Tony O’Connor Wed 2nd 9:00 am †Frances O’Doherty Thur 3rd 9:00 am †Bernard Hickey

ALL VIA ZOOM Spiritual Life TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

What is going on with the Rock? Peter, the one in last week’s Gospel, the one Jesus called the Rock upon whom the church would be built. In the very next verses we hear from the Gospel of Matthew today, Jesus now calls Peter Satan because he rejected Jesus’s revelation that suffering is part of discipleship. It is as if he cried out “Whoa— not so fast. I didn’t sign on for suffering!” Suddenly it appeared that Peter was wavering. This presented an obstacle for Jesus. He can’t risk depending on half-hearted followers. In our First Reading today Jeremiah is right in the middle of the suffering that comes with fulfilling God’s call to follow Him, and he is not happy about it. Beleaguered in his ministry, Jeremiah cried out that he felt he was duped into saying yes to prophesizing to a people who would not only reject him, but also hu- miliate and mock him. The truth is neither Jeremiah nor Peter were duped. They said yes to Love with a promise to love in return. We hear it in the fire that cannot be quenched in Jeremiah’s heart even as he wants to turn away. We know that Peter, around a fire after the Resurrection, passionately responded three times, Lord, you know that I love you. Both received an invitation for love, an invitation to serve, and both embraced it fully, if not perfectly. How did they manage? God warned Jeremiah of the dangers when He called him, promising Do not be afraid of them for I am with you to deliver you, just like Jesus warned the Apostles of the suffering ahead in today’s Gospel. In the midst of his suffering, Jeremiah remembered God’s promise and proclaimed “But the Lord is with me like a mighty champion, just as Peter and the other Apostles remembered Jesus’ promise that I will be with you always until the end of the age. Jeremiah and Peter managed to move through their resistance to the suffering, the passion, of love because they had been warned, because they remembered they would not be left unaided, and most of all, because their hearts were pure. Like Jeremiah and Peter, we are all called by Love to love; to return the love we have received by giving our lives away in our families, in our world, in our parish, in our ministries, in every place we stand. God does not dupe us into responding to His love. Although Love is almost irresistible, it can be resisted. We may choose to return it or reject it. With all of the challenges in your life are you able to return God’s love? Don’t be afraid to cry out in protest. Just remember that suffering and love are joined, that you will not be left alone in any challenge you undergo, and pray for a heart that is pure. kathleen⁺AMDG⁺

TAKE IT TO HEART “Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace with yourself.” -- St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)

St. Francis de Sales was the Bishop of Geneva and author of An Introduction To The Devout Life. St. Francis everyone to know that they are called to be saints.
