READINGS FOR SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN
ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Ezekiel 18:25-28 Second Reading: Philippians 2:1-11 or 2:1-5
Gospel: Matthew 21:28-32
FOCUS: In love, God waits for us to turn to him.
The Father calls each of us, daughters and sons, to
participate in his work. Will we go to his vineyard? Even
if we have said “no” 10 times, we can turn around! With
the Father’s help, we can turn from disobedience to
obedience – from sinfulness to grace. The Father waits
patiently, and is always welcoming.
LITURGY OF THE WORD:
In our first reading, the Lord speaks to Israel through the
prophet Ezekiel and tells them that the wicked who turn
from sin shall live. In today’s Epistle, Paul exhorts the
Philippians to live in unity, taking Jesus as their example
of humility. In the Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the
two sons whose father asks them to work in the vineyard;
the first son refuses, but later obeys.
Readings for nest week, October 4: Twenty-Seventh
Sunday in Ordinary Time: Isaiah 5:1-7, Philippians 4:6-9,
Matthew 21:33-43
From Liturgical Commission Publishing, Lansing, MI

THE PASTOR’S PAGE
Dear Friends:
On Wednesday, September 30, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Jerome, a towering figure
in the Western Church. Born in 347 AD in the city of Stridon, he was at first dubious of the
Christian faith, and indulged in many of the “extravagances” prevalent among the young
people of his time. He was also a polyglot who mastered a number of ancient languages and
their literature, including Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. The sufferings of the Christian martyrs
aroused within Jerome a sense of remorse for his youthful excesses, and also a deep desire to
become closer to the Lord Jesus. He adopted an ascetical life that, while heroic, was difficult
for those who attempted to imitate it. Ordained to the priesthood against his better judgment,
he worked in Rome as an assistant. After studying under some of the great masters of Biblical
interpretation in Alexandria, he retired to Bethlehem, living in a cave near the birthplace of
Jesus, where he completed his translation of the Bible from its original Hebrew and Greek
manuscripts. For all his seclusion, Jerome kept up a voluminous correspondence with Popes,
bishops, government officials, and ordinary people who sought his spiritual advice. He also
weighed in on theological controversies at the time, for which he suffered severe
repercussions.
Whether or not we are aware of him, St. Jerome has greatly influenced our lives as Catholics,
both in his writings and in his personal example. The enormous undertaking of translating the
Bible into the common language, which resulted in the Vulgate, is the product of a heart
absolutely on fire with love for Christ and the desire to know him. For him, the Scriptures are
the power of God, which introduce us to Jesus. And so, for him, “ignorance of Scripture is
ignorance of Christ.” The sacred writers did not just invent fables about God. According to
Jerome, “It was not the air vibrating with the human voice that reached their ears, but rather it
was God speaking within the soul of the prophets…”
Seclusion did not hamper St. Jerome’s contact with the people of his time, and his unique
brand of self-denial did not prevent him from understanding the human condition. His retreat
from the world to find Christ in the scriptures was fortified by knowledge of secular learning,
to which he often referred, especially in his letters. He could, as a good scribe (Mt 13:52),
bring out both old and new wisdom to help others find their way to Christ.
We do well to pray for the zeal that inspired St. Jerome to search for Christ the best way he
could. Quoting the Scriptures, he writes: “I shall listen to what the Lord God says within me.”
Faithfully,
Fr. Valentine

September 14, 2020 Dear People of St Mary’s, Today we celebrate the Catholic feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It recognizes two impor-tant historical events: the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helena, the mother of the emperor Constantine and the dedication of the churches built by Constantine on the site of the Holy Sepul-chre and Mount Calvary. The Cross reminds us of the sacrifice Jesus made for all mankind but as important it symbolizes that our faith conquers the darkness and through the Cross we all can achieve everlasting peace and fulfillment. St. Mary’s Cross that sat majestically atop the steeple of our beautiful Church is being replaced with an exact duplicate of the Cross that had faded into severe deterioration. The Cross Restoration Pro-ject is being spearheaded by fellow parishioners Matt Doherty, Ed Escoffier and John Dussel along with several others collectively known as the “Steeple People”. Matt Doherty our resident restoration architect has put in countless hours designing the bracing foundation for the Cross, milling the Hon-duran mahogany to exact dimensions of the previous Cross and now setting up the new Cross for the wood staining and gold leaf applications. While much work has been accomplished to date, the Steeple People and more St Mary’s volunteers have many more things to do before the new Cross can be raised. Fr. Tim Valentine, our Pastor, has mentioned being approached by Parish members asking if we would accept donations to the Cross Restoration Project. We thought this would be an excellent idea for anyone who would want to be part of this important work for our Church. Any donation large or small will help defray the cost of materials and new electric infrastructure. All labor is completely vol-untary and not compensated. Every donor to the Project will know their contribution is part of the illu-mination of the Cross for everyone to see. Today’s feast Mass entrance antiphon says it best “We should glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, for He is our salvation, our life and our resurrec-tion: through Him we are saved and made free.” If you would like to make a donation, please fill out the slip below and put it in the Church collection basket or mail it to the Rectory at the address above. Thank you and may God Bless you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
