A Note from Fr. Quealy
This Tuesday we remember all who died on 9/11/01 and their families and friends who are still deeply hurting from this great loss. May God protect us all from evil and give eternal rest to those who lost their lives, including the service men and women who fight so bravely to safeguard our country. Let us always keep our military and their families in our prayers.
+Lord let there be peace on earth. Also: The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is on Saturday, September 15th. Our Parish Feast will be celebrated at the Saturday 5pm Mass. This year we thought it might be convenient for more parishioners to attend our annual Parish Picnic if we moved it to Sunday, 9/16 from 1pm to 4pm. Come and enjoy each other’s company, and celebrate our parish life.
God Bless, Fr. Quealy
Tips to Make Mass More Meaningful* It doesn’t take much to change the way
you live the liturgy. “The Mass is the greatest prayer known to mankind, but it doesn’t always feel that way. Here are a few practices that can help you enter into the Mass with interest and devotion.” ~Aleteia.org ~Tom Hoopes
3. When your mind wanders …
Look at the crucifix or the tabernacle if your mind wanders. This could help you stop “saying the prayers” and start praying them. While you look, listen to the liturgy or the words of the hymns. Those words are your way back in. * A different “tip” will be included in the Bulletin for the next ten weeks.

A PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time “And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue. Then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, ‘Ephphatha’ that is ‘Be opened’ And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. They were exceedingly astonished and they said, ‘He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.’” Jesus the healer. People sought Him out bringing the needy person to Jesus. They requested the laying on of hands. They knew Jesus was the answer. This experience of Jesus’ healing is a bit different. Jesus takes him apart, touches, uses saliva, groans and speaks. The result is clearly indicated. Evidently he returned to the crowd who expressed their amazement at what took place. When we were baptized the minister also touched our ears and mouth saying ‘As Jesus made the deaf to hear and the mute to speak, so may He open your ears to hear His word and your mouth to proclaim His praise.’ The gesture can easily get lost. Have I heard the word? Do I proclaim His praise? Maybe I can be more attentive as I listen to the Word of God proclaimed at mass. Maybe I can take what I hear and learn, and bring it to someone else, telling them what the Lord has done or is doing in my life. Jesus continues to do miracles through us today.
