Page 2 POPE FRANCIS WORLD DAY OF PRAYER

Sharing the concern of my beloved brother, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, for the future of crea on (cf. Laudato Si’, 7-9) and at the sugges on of his representa ve, Metropolitan Ioannis of Pergamum, who took part in the presenta on of the Encyclical Laudato Si’ on care for our common home, I wish to inform you that I have decided to ins tute in the Catholic Church the “World Day of Prayer for the Care of Crea on” which, beginning this year (2105), is to be celebrated on September 1st, as has been the custom in the orthodox Church for some me.

As Chris ans we wish to contribute to resolving the ecological crisis which humanity is presently experiencing. In doing so, we must first discover in our own rich spiritual patrimony the deepest mo va ons for our concern for the care of crea on. We need always to keep in mind that, for believers in Jesus Christ, the Word of God who became man for our sake, “the life of the spirit is not dissociated from the body or from nature or from worldly reali es, but lived in and with them, in communion with all that surrounds us” (Laudato Si’, 216). The ecological crisis thus summons us to a profound spiritual conversion: Chris ans are called to “an ecological conversion whereby the effects of their encounter with Jesus Christ become evident in their rela onship with the world around them” (ibid., 217). For “living our voca on to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essen al to a life of virtue; it is not an op onal or a secondary aspect of our Chris an experience” (ibid.).

The annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Crea on will offer individual believers and communi es a fi ng opportunity to reaffirm their personal voca on to be stewards of crea on, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protec on of crea on as well as his pardon for the sins commi ed against the world in which we live. The celebra on of this Day, on the same date as the Orthodox Church, will be a valuable opportunity to bear witness to our growing communion with our Orthodox brothers and sisters. We live at a me when all Chris ans are faced with the same decisive challenges, to which we must respond together, in order to be more credible and effec ve. It is my hope that this Day will in some way also involve other Churches and ecclesial communi es, and be celebrated in union with similar ini a ves of the World Council of Churches.

In expressing my hope that, as a result of wide coopera on, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Crea on will be inaugurated and develop in the best way possible, I invoke upon this ini a ve the intercession of Mary, Mother of God, and of Saint Francis of Assisi, whose Can cle of the Creatures inspires so many men and women of goodwill to live in praise of the Creator and with respect for crea on. As a pledge of spiritual frui ulness, I impart my Apostolic Blessing to you, Eminent Brothers, and to all those who share in your ministry.

World Day of Prayer for Care of Crea on - September 1st

THIS WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS

All-powerful God, you’re present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures.

You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.

Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty. Fill us with peace, that we may live

as brothers and sisters, harming no one.

O God of the poor, help us to rescue the abandoned and forgo en of this earth,

so precious in your eyes. Bring healing to our lives,

that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may sow beauty, not pollu on and destruc on.

Touch the hearts

of those who look only for gain at the expense of the poor and the earth.

Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe and contempla on,

to recognize that we are profoundly united with every creature

as we journey towards your infinite light.

We thank you for being with us each day. Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle

for jus ce, love and peace.

Pope Francis

*Pope Francis published this prayer in his Laudato Si’ encyclical, and is meant for sharing with all who believe in a God who is

BREAKING BREAD MISSALS

LECTOR MINISTRY VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOR LECTOR TRAINING

Do you know or have a loved one currently serving in the military? St. Louise would like to share their picture in the new ves bule on our perpetual monitor. Please send an image of them in uniform with their name, branch, and their rela onship to you to: socialmedia@stlouisedm.org.

Labor Day Mass

Monday, September 4th is Labor Day, we will celebrate Labor Day at our 9:00 am Mass. There will be NO 6:20 am or 8:00 am Mass on Monday, September 4th.

Labor Day has been celebrated since the 1880’s for two reasons: “to mark the irreplaceable role of the American worker in making this country prosperous and strong; and to have me to a end speeches and events on the spiritual and educa onal aspects of work, the worker and the good that comes from work.”

“The spiritual and educa onal aspects of this holiday have been underemphasized— displaced, ironically, by a day off from doing what precisely the na on is celebra ng: work— Labor Day remains an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the meaning of human work, and specifically our work, not only for the good of our country but also in God’s divine plan.”

www.integratedcatholiclife.org/2011/09/fr-landrywhat-we-celebrate-on-labor-day

The ministry of lector in the Catholic Church is a ministry of service to the Word of God and an offering of love for the community. St. Louise is seeking parishioners fully initiated in our sacraments and in good standing with our Church to become the voice of God in the proclaiming of the Word. Come discern and learn how to reflect on and proclaim the word, and decide if our Lord is calling you to this beau ful liturgical ministry. Please note: We schedule lector training only once a year. This is your opportunity to share your gi s and pro-claim the Word in our Liturgy.

Deacon Omar Uriarte will provide the training. All are invited to a end, but you must reserve your spot by September 8th. Classes begin at 2:00 pm on Sundays, and you MUST ATTEND all classes: September 10, 17, 24, October 1st. Our final class will be October 9th at 7:00 pm. The Commissioning Mass will be on October 15th at 12:30 pm for all the new lectors. High School Confirmed Youth are also encouraged to discern this ministry for the 5:00 pm Sunday Mass. If you are interested in reserving your spot, please contact Dcn. Omar at: OmarU@stlouisedm.org.

Breaking Bread missals combine the elements of a hymnal and a missal with song and music tles. Last week the obviously worn and torn books were removed from the church and were replaced by the remaining new ones that St. Louise had on hand. The Breaking Bread missals need to last un l the end of the year.

Joseph McShane and ended with a bonfire and roas ng marshmallows for the S’mores. All families and parishioners were invited to a end.

WHAT IS A CATECHIST? Faith Forma on puts a call out at the beginning of each Faith Forma on year for “Catechists.” But what exactly is a catechist? And do you have what it takes to be one?

Do you need to be an expert in the Catholic faith to be a catechist? Do you need to have all the answers? Absolutely not! A catechist simply needs to be willing to spend me with our children and our youth, to share the love of God with them, and to share our common faith together.

Warn tweens and teens about selfie risks.

Teens and tweens typically like to push boundaries and test their limits, but the new trend of taking dangerous selfies has led to several tragedies. There are far too many people who think that taking a picture while driving, or standing out on a ledge, is more important than their own safety, and that ge ng “likes” on a photo makes the risks worth it. Talk to your kids about safety, smart choices, and being aware of their environment and surroundings, even when they’re using their smartphones.
