If 11:00 AM 15 th Anniversary: Richard Langevin we accept God’s Wisdom and His Spirit, some of the 12:30 PM Baptisms mysteries will become clearer. With the help of God, we can

First, Thursday, September 12 – The Holy Name of Mary Onesimus, whom Paul values highly, may now be granted his 7:00 AM Memorial: Angelo Ceprano freedom. Here we can see in practice what Jesus promised us Friday, September 13 – St. John Chrysostom all: that we will no longer be considered slaves, but children 7:00 AM Memorial: David Inman of God and brothers and sisters of Christ. Second, we see Paul

No Sunday, September 15 – Twenty-fourth Sunday in chains can bind Christ’s Life in us. Finally , Paul allows his Ordinary Time friend the freedom to make decisions.

He is not suggesting that we turn our back on the world and its needs or that we cut ourselves off from all relationships and live as hermits. He is concerned, however, about our desire to possess and control others and to have total control of our own lives. To relinquish this need, we must alter our relationships and our attitudes toward family and friends, so we cannot undertake commitment to Jesus lightly. Once we have given away our rights to all possessions and ownership, we may find that we are still deeply involved with people, goods and money. But we are no longer owners; we are stewards who handle God’s assets, and in our relationships our human commitment will be strengthened by our allegiance and obedience to God’s will.
