Welcome, Pope Francis

Don’t forget to watch the Mass at 4:00PM on CTV or EWTN

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 13, 2015

Welcome, Pope Francis “Dear Brothers and Sisters: Today we conclude our series of catecheses on marriage and the family, on the eve of two significant international events: the World Meeting of Families, to be held next week in Philadelphia, and the Synod of Bishops here in Rome. In these past months, guided by God’s Word, we have reflected on the perennial value of the covenant between man and woman for the future of the entire human family. In the Creator’s plan, marriage and the family have an essential role in shaping an ever more humane political, economic and social life. This role is all the more critical today, in a society increasingly subject to technology and to forms of economic colonization which subordinate ethics to profits. From the beginning, God entrusted His creation to man and woman. Despite our rejection of His original blessing, He continues to watch over our efforts to make this world our common home. In a special way, by the coming of Jesus His Son, He has maintained His promise (cf. Gen 3:15) to bless and protect us in every generation. May families everywhere come to know this blessing!” During his General Audience on Wednesday, Pope Francis concluded his series of reflections on the family. The Holy Father said, “We are on the eve of beautiful and challenging events, which are directly joined to this great theme: the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, and the Synod of Bishops in Rome.” Both events, he continued, “have a worldwide breath, which corresponds to the universal dimension of Christianity, but also to the universal scope of this fundamental and irreplaceable human community, which is precisely the family.” Pope Francis said that the world today seems marked by an economy increasingly subject to technology, an economy where ethics is subordinated to the desire for profit. “In this scenario,” he said, “a new covenant of the man and the woman becomes not only necessary, but also strategic for the emancipation of the people from the colonization of money.” It is precisely this union of man

and woman that can help re-orient politics, economics and civil coexistence. The created world, the Pope continued, is entrusted to man and woman, so that what happens to them has an effect on all of creation. The fall of the first man and the first woman led to a “delusion of omnipotence” which ruins everything; this is the “original sin” that affects all of creation. Nonetheless, God has not abandoned human beings or His creation. God, in His merciful love, continues to protect and bless man and woman. The promise God made in the beginning to the first man and the first woman, that He would love and bless them, includes every human being even to the end of time. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a casual and conversational environment where people who are exploring Catholic Christianity get to know more about the basic message of Christ and the mission of his Church. This is an accessible and welcoming way to take a look at the bigger picture about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Christian story and the Catholic Church. Is RCIA for me? Were you never baptized and want to enter the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist? Were you baptized non-Catholic (Protestant) and want to enter fully into the Catholic Church? Were you baptized Catholic, but did not complete the Sacraments of Eucharist, Reconciliation, or Confirmation. Are you a Catholic who wants to know more and explore their faith? Deacon Leo Lynn will be hosting two opportunities to ask questions about the process as well as sign ups on Wednesday September 30th at 7:00PM and Sunday October 12th at 10:00AM in the Large Conference Room.

Welcome… A warm welcome is extended to all who have come to our parish this weekend to join this community to worship and praise God through the Eucharist. Please know that all of our guests from our community and beyond are a gift to us. If you would like information on joining our parish, please contact us. We would be happy to accompany you on your journey of faith. If you have any pastoral needs, please call or use our website to contact our priests or a member of our pastoral staff. We are here to serve you!

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.

In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks

on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
