From the Pastor’s Column / Noticias del Párroco

As the Eucharist unites us as one Body in Christ, may we faithfully live and share the Gospel. A medida que la Eucaristía nos une como un solo Cuerpo en Cristo, vivamos y anunciemos fielmente el Evangelio.

-Fr. William Dotson

Offertory Envelopes We have switched to a new company for our offertory envelopes. In any transition of this size, there are al-ways a few errors along the way. If you received enve-lopes but do not want them because you give in a dif-ferent manner, or if you did not receive envelopes and would like to, please contact the parish office at 636-946-1893 or [email protected].

Sobres de Ofrendas

Cambiamos a una nueva compañía para nuestros sobres de ofertorio. En cualquier transición de este tamaño, siempre hay algunos errores. Si recibió sobres pero no los quiere porque usted dona de otra manera, o si no recibió sobres y quisiera recibirlos, comuníquese con la oficina de la parroquia al 636-946-1893 [email protected]

September 3 is Labor Day. As the Catechism teaches, “By means of his labor man participates in the work of creation. Work united to Christ can be redemp-tive.” Our daily work, whatever it may be, can be a source of great grace and holiness in our lives. Rec-ognizing the value of work and the dignity of the

person, the Church also teaches that all people have a right to access to employment, a just wage, and a working condition that respects their dignity.

El 3 de septiembre es el Día de Traba-jo. Como dice el Catecismo, “Mediante su trabajo, el hombre par-ticipa en la obra de la creación. Unido a Cristo, el trabajo puede ser reden-tor.” Nuestro trabajo diario, de cualquier forma que sea, puede ser un fruente de mucha gracia y santidad en nuestras vidas. Reconociendo el mérito de trabajo y la dignidad de la perso-na, la Iglesia enseña también que cada persona tiene el derecho al acceso al empleo, un salario justo, y condiciones del trabajo que respeten su dignidad.

Remember, next Sunday is Unity Day. There will be no 10:00 or 11:30 Masses. Join us for bilingual Mass at 11:00 at Dusable Park followed by food and fun.

Recuerda, el proximo domingo es el Día de la Unidad. No habrá misas a las 10:00am or 11:30am. Únete a no-sotros para misa bilingüe en Dusable Park a las 11:00 seguido por comida y diversión.

Par ish Counci l Update Dear parishioners of St. Charles Borromeo Parish, It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since the current Parish Council was elected. In the past year, the Parish Council has been focused on how to best serve the needs of the parish and all its members. Yes, that means YOU! One of our first tasks was to hold a town hall meeting (last Oc-tober) to get feedback on how St. Charles Borromeo was doing. For example, what are our strengths? What are some things we could improve? Are there other programs or events that people would like offered? Overall, we had a good turnout and have used this feedback to guide us throughout the past year. One theme that came out loud and clear in the town hall meeting was a desire to further increase unity in the Parish. As a result of your feedback, the Parish Council decided to make Unity our primary focus for 2018. To this end, Parish Council invited the leadership of all our ministries to a meeting this past March to hear guest speaker, Dr. Javier Orozco, speak about unity and steps to take to realize greater unity. We’ve asked all of the ministries to be more intentional about unity and think of ways to reach out to all members of the Parish to increase connections. Parish Council is committed to continue this conversation with the ministries in the next year to further our mission. We are blessed to have such a wonderful group on council and this year we will continue to serve and look for ways to unite St. Charles Borromeo! You might be wondering, “What can I do?” Well, a good place to start is to attend our annual Uni-ty Day mass on September 9th at 11am in Dusable Park. This is a great opportunity to worship together as a parish family and make a new friend. I hope that you can join us and promise a good time for all! Sincerely, Doug Cornwell Chairperson

Queridos feligreses de la Parroquia de San Carlos Borromeo

Es difícil creer que ha pasado un año desde que se eligió el Consejo Parroquial. En el año pasado, el Consejo Parroquial ha enfocado en como servir mejor las necesidades de la parroquia y todos sus miem-bros. ¡Sí, eso significa TÚ! Una de nuestras primeras tareas fue el Foro Parroquial (el pasado octubre) para recibir comentarios sobre cómo estaba San Carlos Borromeo. ¿Qué son nuestras fortalezas? ¿Cómo podemos mejorarnos? ¿Hay programas o eventos que las personas quieren aquí? En general, tuvimos una buena participación y hemos utilizado estos comentarios para guiarnos durante el año pasado. Un tema importante en el foro fue un deseo de aumentar aún más la unidad en la Parroquia. Co-mo resultado de sus comentarios, el Consejo Parroquial decidió hacer de la unidad nuestro en-foque principal para 2018. El Consejo Parroquial invitó al liderazgo de todos nuestros ministerios a una reunión en marzo pasado para escuchar al orador invitado, el Dr. Javier Orozco, hablar acerca de la unidad y los pasos para realizar una mayor unidad. Les hemos pedidos a todos los ministerios que sean más intencionales con respecto a la unidad y piensen de maneras de au-mentar las conexiones en la parroquia. El Consejo Parroquial se compromete a continuar esta conversación con los ministerios el próximo año para promover nuestra misión. ¡Somos bendecidos de tener un grupo estupendo en el consejo, y este año seguiremos para servir y buscar maneras de unir a San Carlos Borromeo! Tal vez estás pregutando: ¿Qué puedo hacer? Bueno, un bien lugar para comenzar es asistir a nuestra Misa anual del Día de la Unidad el 9 de septiembre a las 11am en Dusable Park. Esta es una gran oportunidad para adorar juntos como una familia parroquial y hacer un nuevo ami-go. ¡Espero que puedes unirnos y prometas un buen evento para todos! Sinceramente, Doug Cornwell Presidente

Journeying through Grief Ministry St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Grief Ministry is offering a Christ-centered support group for anyone who is mourning the loss of a loved one. We all experience loss in our own unique way. There are times in our lives when we need support, prayers, and to be with others who are also mourning. Losing a loved one is one of the biggest challenges we will ever face. People deal with loss in different ways; there is neither a right nor a wrong way. For some grief support is helpful in beginning their journey moving through the valley of grief. In mourning we begin to build our bridge toward a new and different life.

The group will meet for five consecutive Tuesday evenings in October (2, 9, 16, 23 and 30), from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. Once a month follow-up sessions will be held on the first Tuesday of each month following the October session. Participants are invited to bring a guest. The location is the S.E.A.S. Memorare Room at 2 Seton Court, St. Charles, MO

September 2, 2018 –Gospel Background

Your Loving Sacrifices Make All The Difference

September 2, 2018 Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Gospel today hits home closer that we may

think. What traditions do we blindly cling to? Per-haps it is enough for us to just go to Mass on Sun-

day? Do we keep the letter of the law and miss entirely the spirit of the law? Interior righteousness means a heart turned to God. Purity

of heart is expressed in righteous living: self-giving for the sake of others.

As you give your gift to the poor through the Society of St. Vincent

de Paul, in your heart you also will find the good news of God’s love.

WE THANK EACH OF YOU for the great love you show to our Borromeo Family carry-ing on the work of Jesus and to those in need-by the gener-

osity you display when you share your treasure, and all God’s gifts to you, given for others.

This Sunday, our lectionary returns to Mark’s Gospel after a num-ber of Sundays in which we heard the Bread of Life discourse from the Gospel of John. Recall that we focus on the Gospel of Mark in Lectionary Cycle B, but substitute John’s report of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes for Mark’s report of this event.

In today’s Gospel, Mark provides a significant amount of infor-mation about the Jewish observance of ritual-purity laws. Most scholars believe that Mark includes this information because his audience includes Gentile Christians who have no knowledge or experience of these laws. We can infer, therefore, that many in Mark’s community were not Jewish Christians.

In this Gospel, Mark addresses the question of which Jewish prac-tices would also be observed in the newly emerging Christian community. This was a significant question for the early Christian Church, especially in communities that included both Jewish and Gentile converts to Christianity. We also hear this question ad-dressed in the letters of Paul with regard to table fellowship. In Gospel passages such as the one today, we see the Gospel evange-lists finding justification for a Christian practice distinct from Ju-daism in the remembrances of Jesus’ teaching and the practice of his first disciples.

Jesus first criticizes the Pharisees for putting human tradition above God’s Law. Here, Jesus is referring to the tradition of the elders, the teachings of the Pharisees, which extended the ritual-purity laws of Temple worship to everyday Jewish life. Jesus criti-cizes the Pharisees for making this tradition equal to and as bind-ing as the Law of Moses.

Next, Jesus comments on the meaning behind the Pharisees’ lan-guage of holiness—clean and unclean. Jesus teaches that a person is not defiled by the food that enters his or her body, but rather by sin that emerges from his or her words and actions. In this teach-ing, Jesus unmasks a deeper question behind the one posed to him by the Pharisees. The real issue is holiness, which is not found in external acts alone. Holiness comes from within and is evidenced in the actions and attitudes that emerge from a person’s life.

If we read today’s Gospel carefully, we will see a pattern in Jesus’ teaching method that will be repeated in the weeks ahead. Jesus’ first teaching is directed to the Pharisees who questioned him. Jesus’ words are then directed to the crowd, teaching that a person is defiled by his or her words and actions, not by the food that he or she eats. In verses omitted in today’s reading, we learn that Jesus returned home with his disciples, who in turn questioned him about what he had taught. The words we read at the conclu-sion of today’s Gospel are addressed to Jesus’ disciples. Mark’s narrative shows several audiences for Jesus’ teaching: his antago-nists, the crowds, and Jesus’ disciples. As we see in this reading, the words to the Pharisees are often words of challenge. The teaching to the crowds is often a general, sometimes cryptic, mes-sage. With the disciples, who often misunderstand Jesus’ words, further explanation is offered about his message and its meaning. Jesus’ words challenge us as well. In our desire to show that we are holy, we might also give too much credence to externals, fol-lowing rules without thinking about the intention behind them. Jesus reminds us that we do not make ourselves holy by our ac-tions. Rather, we become holy when we allow God’s Spirit to transform us. Our actions should be an expression of the conver-sion of our heart to God and to God’s ways.

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Lunes: San Gregorio Magno; Día del Trabajo Viernes: Primer viernes Sábado: La Natividad de la Santísima Virgen María

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En las Sagradas Escrituras hay varias parejas como Abra-ham y Sara, Elcaná y Ana, y Zacarías e Isabel, que por alguna razón u otra no pueden engendrar hijos o hijas. Hay que saber que en muchas culturas la falta de de-scendencia es considerada un castigo divino. Dios, en su divina misericordia, ampara a estas parejas dándoles una prole. Según la literatura apócrifa cristiana, (el Evangelio de la Natividad de María, el Evangelio apóc-rifo de Mateo y el Protoevangelium de Santiago) a estas famosas parejas se pueden añadir los padres de la Vir-gen María, Joaquín y Ana. Esta pareja de la línea del rey David tampoco podía engendrar familia. En una fiesta judía, Joaquín (el hom-bre a quien Dios lleva) fue rechazado en el templo por no tener hijo o hija. Desdichado se retiró al desierto para implorar la bendición de Dios. Su esposa Ana (gracia, amor, plegaria) también imploró al Señor hasta que un ángel le anunció que Dios la había escuchado. El mismo ángel envió a Joaquín a su casa. A los nueve meses Ana dio a luz una niña a quien llamaron Miriam (María). --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
