GOD IS ON THE SIDE OF THE POOR Two of today’s readings make it quite clear that God is on the side of the poor. Amos describes in detail the exploitation of the poor and needy. The psalm repeats that God acts to bene it the poor and lowly. But Luke turns things upside down, telling a tale of a con licted steward, about to be ired, who demonstrates his cleverness and is rewarded. Like the community to whom Paul writes in Timothy, these readings are personal, directed to believers, members of the Jewish and Christian communities, who struggle to deal with personal choices about how to conduct their lives. They offer an outline for how God wishes us to live in a world as complicated and as confusing as our own.

Saints And Special Observances Sunday: Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: St. Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio); Autumn Begins Thursday: Ss. Cosmas and Damian Friday: St. Vincent de Paul Saturday: St. Wen ceslaus; Blessed Virgin Mary; St. Lawrence Ruiz and Companions

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although June is the month most associated with weddings in the United States, September has become more popular in recent years. Wedding celebrations always require some savvy planning, and people who have a talent for hospitality in the mix. At the wedding feast at Cana, the mother of Jesus was recruited to deal with some of the details of the banquet, and when a very understandable crisis arose, she did what she could to rescue the party. Anyone who has ever run out of ice, dessert, or table settings knows the stress! Slowly, the memory of Jesus Christ’s blessing of this marriage feast led the Church to form a way to bless marriages. A thousand years ago weddings migrated from the family home to the doors of the church, where the celebration was held in public view. From this practice came a prayer called the “Nuptial Blessing,” one of the most solemn prayers in our tradition. It is very much like the prayers by which baptismal water and chrism are consecrated, the ordination prayer over a priest, and the Eucharistic Prayers over bread and wine. Four hundred ifty years ago, weddings moved inside the church building. All of this gives married couples good reason to celebrate their anniversaries well, especially with the clinking of glasses illed with good wine.

READINGS FOR THE WEEK… Monday: Ezr 1:1-6; Ps 126:1b-6; Lk 8:16-18 Tuesday: Ezr 6:7-8, 12b, 14-20; Ps 122:1-5; Lk 8:19-21 Wednesday: Ezr 9:5-9; Tb:13:2, 3-4abefghn, 7-8; Lk 9:1-6 Thursday: Hg 1:1-8; Ps 149:1b-6a, 9b; Lk 9:7-9 Friday: Hg 2:1-9; Ps 43:1-4; Lk 9:18-22 Saturday: Zec 2:5-9, 14-15a; Jer 31:10-12ab, 13; Lk 9:43b-45 Sunday: Am 6:1a, 4-7; Ps 146:7-10; 1 Tm 6:11-16;Lk 16:19-31

Thanksgiving Food Baskets

Once again from October 26 through November 24, San

Pedro Women’s Guild will be collecting monetary donations to aid the poor in our community. Due to distribution issues, we are no longer able to collect pantry items. Instead, we are requesting you to consider placing Winn-Dixie or Publix gift cards, checks made out to the San Pedro Women's Guild, or cash in our giving basket to the left of the altar or in the collection baskets and labeled “Thanksgiving”. With your continued help, each needy family will be provided with a gift card for perishable and pantry foods. Contact Carolyn 394-8887 for more information. Thank You!!

Jesus himself provided the model for self-sacrificial giving. Mirror Christ today by

making a sacrificial gift to the ABCD Project of heling the most Vulnerable

of our community.
