22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

“What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world

and forfeit his life?” - MATTHEW 16:26

St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what

you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else.” We often

forget this stewardship wisdom when we spend all of

our time, talent and treasure to gain more of the world’s

riches. We need to set our priorities based on God’s

values and not the values of the material world.

Pope Francis’ Prayer

Intention for September:

Parishes.

That our parishes,

animated by a missionary spirit, may be places where

faith is communicated and charity is seen.

Student Ministry Adoration Moment “Put your sins in the chalice for the precious blood to

wash away. One drop is capable of washing away the

sins of the world.”

St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition

needs a great push. People ask me: ‘What will convert

America and save the world?’ My answer is prayer.

What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus

in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.”

St. Teresa of Calcutta

Hurricane Harvey Special Collection will be

taken up this weekend.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the families that have lost loved ones and to all who have lost homes and businesses along with their sense of peace and normalcy," said Archbishop Gomez. "We also stand with our brother bishops in the region who have the difficult task of providing pastoral care in these most trying times while managing their own losses. Our prayerful and financial support is urgently needed."

Funds given to the collection will support the humani-

tarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA

and will provide pastoral and rebuilding support to

impacted dioceses through the USCCB.

Next week, we will take up the

Collection for the Church in

Latin America. Please prayer-

fully consider supporting this

collection, which assists pro-

grams that strengthen the faith

in Latin America and the Carib-

bean. Your gifts help share the faith by providing

lay leadership training, catechesis, priestly and reli-

gious formation, as well as other programs. To learn

more, please visit www.usccb.org/latin-america.

Is it yours? If you have brought a dish to the Church please

check the kitchen and take it home with you.

What Are the Seven Dolors of Mary?

Catholics have long associated the Latin term dolor, meaning "sorrow" or

"pain,” with the sorrows of Mary, the Mother of God. She is often pic-

tured with seven swords, representing seven sorrows, piercing her sinless

heart. What exactly are these seven sorrows, and what are the origins of

this particular Marian devotion? The early Christians, telling of the passion and death of Jesus, remembered

the agonizing sorrow the Blessed Mother experienced as she stood at the

cross, watching the crucifixion of her divine Son. Devotion to the Sorrow-

ful Mother gained in popularity during the Middle Ages, and, in some loca-

tions, meditation on her was expanded beyond the scene at the cross to

encompass other events from the time Jesus was arrested until He was

laid in the tomb.

The Seven Dolors (Sorrows) The Seven Dolors identify seven events or periods in the Blessed Mother's

life when her suffering, prompted by events in her Son's life, was most in-

tense. Bible scholars have pointed out that while some of the sorrowful

events contained in the devotion are not specified in Scripture, they likely

did occur.

Here are the seven: 1. Simeon's prophecy during the presentation of Jesus. Simeon

prophesied that the Child's life would be one of "contradiction." This pro-

phetic announcement would indeed be fulfilled as the very people Jesus

came to save from sin would reject, insult and eventually murder Him.

Simeon further indicated that Mary, too, would suffer, that sharing in His

life of rejection would be like a sword piercing her soul. Certainly, such

foreboding prophecies must have troubled the young mother. 2. The flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. The Gospel of Matthew

tells that when alerted by the Magi to the birth of Jesus Herod ordered

the killing of all boys 2 years old or younger, in and around Bethlehem. 3. The loss of the Child Jesus for three days. Greatly distressed, they

rushed back to Jerusalem and, after three days of desperate searching, found Him unharmed in the Temple conversing

with teachers of Jewish law. He was not lost and wondered aloud to a relieved but confused Mary and Joseph, "How is

it that you sought me?" In this event, Our Lady was painfully reminded that Jesus belonged first and foremost to God. 4. Meeting Jesus on His way to Calvary. Tradition holds that Mary was among the women that Scripture tells us

lamented Christ's painful walk with the cross along the way to Calvary. Mary's grief must have been extreme as she

witnessed Jesus, unjustly accused, stumbling, falling with the cross on the road to the place He would die. She had also

likely been part of the crowd that was present when Pilate handed Him over to be crucified, but she could only watch

in agonizing sorrow. Now, coming face to face with Him, Mary saw the bleeding, swollen, pitiable state of her Son. His

helplessness, desolation and abandonment penetrated her heart. 5. Beneath the cross. The Gospels tell us that Mary stood with a few followers of Jesus watching His crucifixion. She

no doubt wept to see Him cruelly nailed to a cross, to see the soldiers gamble for His clothes, and to watch His slow,

torturous death. How awful it is for any parent to watch a child die -- and no one ever endured more agony than Mary. She was the

only person who truly understood who He was and, in her heart, she died with Him. 6. Jesus is taken down from the cross. According to Scripture, Joseph of Arimathea took the body of Jesus down

from the cross; according to popular tradition, Joseph laid Him in the lap of His grieving mother. Mary saw the bruises

and wounds from all the physical torture Jesus had experienced, including the great open wound caused by the Roman

soldier's lance. She who had given Him His Body and Blood cradled her lifeless Son, the Son of God, in her arms. 7. Jesus is placed in the tomb. Mary, broken and grief-filled, no doubt watched as Joseph of Arimathea and Nicode-

mus prepared the body of Jesus for burial. They acted without delay, since the Mosaic Law required burial before night-

fall. We can only try to comprehend the immensity of Our Lady's suffering when the tomb was sealed, as she thought

about all the anguish and pain He had endured. On all these seven occasions, and no doubt many more, our Blessed Mother shared the sufferings of her Son. The

sword, as Simeon predicted, did indeed pierce her soul. In the Catholic Church, the month of September is dedicated to the Seven Sorrows of Mary, a time for us to meditate

especially on these seven sorrows. When we meditate on these events, we learn to join our own sufferings to those of

Jesus and Mary, so that we ourselves might grow in holiness.
