As we celebrate Labor Day Weekend (and perhaps “mourn” the passing of summer), the Church universal is recognizing a saint that God raised up among us, Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Many of us probably have personal memories of events in her life and of words that she spoke in a humble, yet powerful way. A few of you may have even met her. (I thought she was in a Missionaries of Charity chapel one morning when I offered Mass, but learned later that the sister was someone who looked like Mother Teresa.) This morning I heard a wonderful testimony to her life and the miracles credited to her intercession on public radio as I got ready for the day. Since her death, we have learned how she ministered in Christ’s name even though she felt God’s absence for the last 50 years of her life. James Martin, S.J., suggests that she can serve as a contemporary saint for those who are questioning and doubting God’s presence in their lives. A quick search for “saying of Mother Teresa of Calcutta” results in many quotations to inspire us; here are a few:
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.
Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.
Each one (person we serve) is Jesus in disguise. St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!
When I think of Mother Teresa, Haiti often comes to mind because of her love for the people of Haiti and her ministry there. How timely that I heard from Father Francois, the pastor of our sister parish this week; here’s a message from him:
“I am very glad to hear you are ready for the next school year. In my country it is not the same. Everything goes very slowly… But with political situation nothing is sure. Just like that year after year in Haiti. My parishioners and I want to thank you and your parishioners for July support. Thanks to your generosity many things are coming: 7 new blackboards are being made $185; 80 books are bought for students $150; notebooks $10 … We need more supplies for the school. Step by step. For July I received for my ministry $50 one time and in second time $345 for Sainte Lucie School. In truth, you cannot imagine what you are doing for my community. A really big thank you, thank you so much also to your parishioners. Hope someday you will visit us in Island of La Gonave, Haiti.” We are sending $303 for our August “tithe” (1% of our regular church support) plus a gift of $75; let’s continue to pray for and learn about each other!
Sincerely in Christ,
CALLING ALL SJW MEN! - Committed Catholic Men have

Consider the cost ... Gospel Reading - Luke 14:28-33 It is not easy to be a follower of Jesus and to live as he taught us to. He wants us to think carefully about what is expected of us if we are to be his disciples.
Talk about it - What would a wise man do before starting to build a house? What did Jesus say about the king and his army? Why do we choose to follow Jesus?
