LABOR DAY THANKS

As we approach this day which traditionally marks the end of summer, it’s an appropriate time to thank those whose labor in our parish makes life better for all of us.

During these bizarre and challenging times in particular, we should all be grateful to the generous parishioners who have stepped forward to make it possible for us to resume regular wor-ship. Dave Wolken, Steve McDowell, Mike Cap, Jim Wright and Karen Shifflett and the many people they recruited or who volun-teered for our set-up, greeting/ushering and sanitizing teams have done a faithful, wonderful job of allowing us to keep the church open for weekday and weekend masses. They’ve done such a good job in fact that, if more people wished to return for regular worship, we could reasonably add a third Sunday mass to the schedule. However, until we get much closer to the maximum number of 135 that we can accommodate at each mass (90 is the closest we’ve come at 8:00a.m. on Sundays, with 5:15 and 10:30 hovering between 40 and 60 attendees at each), it wouldn’t be prudent to make that move just yet. Still, it’s comforting to know that, if and when that time comes, we have generous “laborers in the vineyard” who will help make it possible.

I’m personally grateful to our parish staff, especially to Agatha Kienzle who continued to work from home for several months until staff members were permitted to return to onsite tasks. At the same time, Sharon Pries and Carol Zakaras generously agreed to return to their part-time office responsibilities at the rectory. And Agatha continues to work from home even now on Fridays and Saturdays, monitoring your weekend mass sign-ups and e-mailing the lists to me to print out. During the months when money counters weren’t permitted to record the offerings that you so generously continued to mail in or drop off, Eileen Santschi handled that task for us in addition to writing the checks so we could pay our bills. As soon as we had some guidance from the Office of Catechesis regarding religious education, Karen Shifflett began to imagine ways for us to resume classes for our children and to plan for the delayed sacraments of First Commun-ion & Confirmation. With no singing permitted and not wanting to burden our cantors (given such a limited role for them) John Ligda has taken care of all our musical needs at our three week-end masses, multi-tasking from the choir loft. And Kevin Kul-chawik, deemed the only other onsite “essential worker” besides me and Fr. Dan, continued to monitor our building infrastructure from day one of the pandemic.

But now for “something completely different”….No sooner had last Sunday’s bulletin been completed than I received word that we would be able to proceed with the installation of our new church sound system. Our Vicariate VI Director of Operations, Deacon Jim Norman, engineered the release of our funds to make that possible. So the hope is that the work can be completed as soon as possible and you’ll actually be able to hear the all the words of the Lord. Happy Labor Day!

On the Dignity of Work

"Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. Work, to use an image, 'anoints' us with dignity, fills us with dignity, makes us similar to God, who has worked and still works, who always acts..."

- Pope Francis, Feast of St. Joseph the Worker and World Labor Day, 5/1/13

Labor Day Prayer

Good and Gracious God,

You created human beings

in Your image and likeness

And gave us dominion over creation

to be stewards of the land

and co-creators of Your Kingdom.

Jesus, You became one of us

and labored as a carpenter.

You ask all people --

whatever our state of life --

to follow you faithfully.

Holy Spirit, bless all

workers this Labor Day.

May all our actions be

animated by Your love,

as we do all things for

the glory of God.

Amen.

Gospel Meditation

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

It‘s all about reconciliation and conversion, not punishment. Relation-

ships are not static adventures but wonderful gifts that continue to de-

velop, grow, change, and mature. We are meant to be social beings, so

isolating ourselves from others is rarely helpful. But, because human

beings are on the one hand tremendously gifted, talented, and blessed

creations, they are on the other also flawed, broken, and sinful. We all

need to humbly admit that we are works in progress and not only capa-

ble of enriching each other‘s lives but causing deep hurts and wounds

as well. Hence, we always need to be reconciled. We are always grow-

ing, changing, and expanding our knowledge of who we are and how

we are meant to share life together.

Because reconciliation and conversion are always part of the mix of

life, honesty is crucial. Without honesty, we can easily find ourselves

living a lie and causing more harm than good. Being able to freely

share our feelings, especially those involving pain and hurt, is a

charism necessary to pursue and an art to learn. When we are wronged

or wrong someone else, we do not enjoy the confrontation that can and

needs to come. We are taught to keep our feelings to ourselves, espe-

cially when they are negative, and we tend to avoid difficult conversa-

tions. Hence, we never really learn how to confront another, success-

fully resolve conflict, find reconciliation, and welcome conversion.

When we hurt or wrong someone, it does not mean that we are a bad

or sinful person who deserves only punishment and excommunication.

Quite the opposite! We are simply a human person who can make poor

choices and sin and can be forgiven. We can restore and deepen the

relationship that has been affected and find our way home again.

Jesus clearly wants to avoid shame because it has no purpose in

achieving reconciliation and conversion. All broken relationships de-

serve a chance at reconciliation. Every person has room for growth and

a need for conversion. We have to learn to be okay with honesty and

not be afraid to hear and process what someone needs to say, even if

it is difficult for us to hear. Severing a relationship, both personally or

with the church community as a whole, ought to definitely be a last re-

sort and only pursued when all else has failed. ©LPi

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP– RECOGNIZE

GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

THE BLESSING OF THE COMMUNITY

I have been blessed to be a mem-

ber of my parish community for

28 years. For much of that time I

was serving as a member of the

parish staff, but it was still the

community that I call home. I

have been fortunate to be able to

remain in that parish even as my

life has encountered new chap-

ters and callings. I am so grateful

to God that I have been able to

grow, be nourished, and find com-

panionship in a parish for this

long of a time.

It is a natural tendency for human

beings to desire belonging to

something bigger than them-

selves. Not everyone is fortunate

enough to find the community, big

or small, that fulfills that need.

Unfortunately, that means that

many communities suffer from

not having the benefit of the gifts,

skills, and talents that any mem-

ber can offer. Communities are in

many ways living organisms that

move and breathe based upon

the individuals who form that

body. A community is truly the

sum of its parts.

Your parish community reflects

you and everyone else in that

community. The more each mem-

ber gives to the community, the

stronger that community finds

itself. If you hold back, your com-

munity suffers, and you gain little.

I know firsthand what being a part

of a community can mean to a

person. I would be no one at all –

and you would not be reading this

– if it weren‘t for the life I have

had in my parish community.

The archdiocese has advised reli-

gious education programs to de-

velop the capacity to offer classes

in both virtual and in-person for-

mats. To do this we need cate-

chists who can teach both virtual

classes or 'at-home formation'

and in-person classes. For in-

person classes to be executed

safely we need a new cadre of

volunteers to monitor safety

measures such as social distanc-

ing upon entry/exit and in the

hallways, and that all persons in

the school building are wearing

masks. Catechists and other vol-

unteers associated with the reli-

gious education program must

complete archdiocese compliance

requirements including Virtus

training, mandated reporter train-

ing, and a background check. If

you can help in any way please

contact Karen Shifflett at

kshifflett@posjhomewood.org or

THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (FEAST) FEAST DAY: SEPTEMBER 8

We know that everyone has

a birthday. The Bible doesn‘t

say anything about Mary‘s

birth, but we know that she

was born. Like all parents,

Mary‘s parents—we call them

Joachim and Ann—probably

took one look at their new-

born daughter and knew that

she was special.

Joachim and Ann loved God

very much, and they were

filled with gratitude to God

for the gift of a child. They

raised Mary as a child of God, teaching her to love and serve God.

When the angel Gabriel told Mary that she had been chosen to be the

Mother of Jesus, she already had great faith in God. Her strong faith

and trust allowed her to say yes to God‘s plan for her. We cannot be

certain what the future holds for any newborn infant, but we do know

that the life of each person has meaning and purpose. When Mary

was born, the world did not know who she was. Sometimes others—

and maybe even you—don‘t see how special you are. Maybe you for-

get that God is calling you, too, right now, to do what Mary did—to

bring Jesus into the world.

When we celebrate his mother‘s birth, we honor Jesus too. Today

thank God for the gift of life, and give honor to both Mary and Jesus

by showing respect and concern for one another—remembering that

God has created each person with love and with a call to something

very special in life.

Saint of the Day SAINT MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA (August 26, 1910—September 5, 1997)

FEAST DAY: SEPTEMBER 5

When we think about the difference that love can

make, many people very often think of one per-

son: Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. A tiny

woman, just under five feet tall, with no tools ex-

cept prayer, love, and the unique qualities God

had given her, Mother Teresa is probably the most

powerful symbol of the virtue of charity today.

―I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them. It was

an order. To fail would have been to break the faith.‖ — Saint Mother Teresa

Gospel Reading

Matthew 18:15-20

Jesus teaches his disciples how to settle disputes in

the Church.

BACKGROUND ON THE GOSPEL READING

Today‘s Gospel reading is taken from a chapter of Matthew‘s Gospel, which is sometimes called the

―discourse on the Church‖ or the ―church order‖ discourse. In this part of Matthew‘s Gospel, Jesus speaks

more directly about matters of Church discipline and order. In today‘s reading we find one of only three in-

stances in which Jesus uses the word church in Matthew‘s Gospel. In Matthew‘s record of Jesus‘ teaching,

we can hear echoes of the kinds of issues faced by the early Christian community.

In the first part of the ―discourse on the Church‖ (Matthew 18:1-14), Matthew addresses the Christian com-

munity‘s concerns about rank. Jesus responds to the disciples‘ question about who is greatest in the king-

dom of heaven. Jesus indicates that those who wish to enter the kingdom of heaven must be like children,

and he cautions those leaders who might lead these ―little ones‖ astray. He also responds with the parable

of the lost sheep, indicating how God will seek out and bring back those ―little ones‖ who have strayed.

In today‘s Gospel reading, Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus addresses a common occurrence in the Christian com-

munity: a dispute between two members of the Church. Jesus outlines a procedure for settling such matters

fairly. The victim should privately address the offender and attempt to resolve the dispute without outside

involvement. If that fails, then the victim should bring two or three witnesses and confront the offender

again. If the dispute is still unresolved, the matter should be brought to the attention of the entire commu-

nity. If the offender refuses to adhere to the reparations prescribed by the community, then Jesus suggests

that the offender may be expelled from the Church.

Jesus does not discourage disagreement within the community of the Church; he acknowledges the reality of

conflict and error and offers his disciples a means for addressing such matters. It is in the conclusion to this

teaching that the message of hope is found: Jesus is present with the community and will guide the commu-

nity in its relations. If decisions are taken in prayer, then the community can be assured of God‘s assistance.

Growing with the Gospel

Jesus said to his disciples: ―If your brother sins against you, go and tell

him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have

won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others

along with you, so that ‗every fact may be established on the testimony

of two or three witnesses.‘ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the

church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you

would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you

bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on

earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you

agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be

granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are

gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.‖
