WE CELEBRATE BAPTISM Baptism is celebrated on two Sundays of the month at 1:30PM. Parents must come to the Rectory to complete a special registration form for Baptism. Upon completion of the form, a Baptism date will be given by Sr. Mary. Please do not make arrangements for a Baptism Celebration before you get a Baptism date from Sr. Mary, as we may not be able to grant any special requests for a particular date. Parents of first children are required to attend one Baptism Preparation Class (as well as parents who have never participated in a Baptism class). Registration for the Baptism Preparation Class can be made at the time the Registration Form for Baptism is completed with Sr. Mary.

WE CELEBRATE MARRIAGE Our Parish Pre-Cana Program prepares these couples for the responsibilities and joys of Christian marriage. It is necessary to arrange your wedding date with the Church at least six months in advance. Please call the Rectory (744-2609).
ANNULMENT – Reestablishing The Freedom To Marry An annulment can be described as a declara on of sacramental matrimonial invalidity. It is an official determina on made by an ecclesias cal court that at the
me of the marital consent exchanged by the par es a specific component of the marriage was lacking or defec ve. Hence, the marriage failed to be a sacramental marriage as defined by the Catholic Church. If you wish to reestablish your freedom to marry in the Church contact the Diocese of Rockville Centre. If you would first like to speak to someone who has been through this process, please contact Philip and Donna Liscia at: 631-942-4645.

We Welcome
Weekly Reflection 24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME “You missed the point,” we might be tempted to shout at the servant in today’s Gospel. His master had just forgiven a huge debt when he cried for mercy, and yet, when given the op-portunity to show mercy himself, he instead acted violently and with retribution toward a fellow servant. Certainly, he had missed the point of his master’s merciful actions toward him, and suffered the consequences as a result. He missed the point. He is not alone, however. We all “miss the point” sometimes—we miss the point of God’s enduring covenant of love, and miss the mark in our call to live as though we are the Lord’s, for this is who we are. SAINT JOHN CHRYSOSTOM (c. 344-407) September 13 “Speaking truth to power” may have be-come just another cliché, but doing precisely that cost John “the Golden Mouth (Chrysostom) his diocese and, after exile and a forced march, his health and life. “Renowned for eloquence, heroic in suffer-ing” (Sacramentary), John’s scriptural in-sights still comfort and challenge. Mystical theologian, he bids Eastern Christians, whose principal Divine Liturgy bears his name, to lift up their hearts to “God ineffable, beyond com-prehension, invisible, beyond understanding, existing forever, always the same.” Model pas-tor, he warns Roman Catholics in the Liturgy of the Hours not to neglect God-in-the-flesh: “Would you honor Christ’s body? Do not scorn his nakedness, honoring him here in church with silken robes, while neglecting him cold and naked outside. What use to burden Christ’s altar with golden chalices, while Christ himself starves to death? What use dressing the altar with gold-woven cloths, while denying the shivering Christ the clothes he needs? Do not adorn the church while ig-noring your needy brother: he is the most pre-cious temple of all!” (Saturday, Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time).
FOREGIVENESS Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again. Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father motioned his son to him and whispered: “Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from loving you?”
Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the com-mandments. As St. Paul writes to the Ro-mans, we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord. Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel re-minds us of God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and strick-en from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way.
BECOMING MORE LIKE CHRIST When Peter asked Jesus how many times he must forgive, he was probably stunned at Je-sus’ response. Peter had asked, “As many as seven times?” Seven being the perfect num-ber, surely this is enough forgiveness, Peter likely thought. Jesus’ response seems lavish beyond proportion. “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Jesus under-stands the fullness of God’s mercy and teach-es that disciples are called to this same lavish outpouring of mercy. God showers compas-sion on humanity, beyond what might seem sensible or wise, yet we are called to “remember the Most High’s covenant, and overlook faults,” to give others the benefit of the doubt, knowing that God does this and more with us, each and every day. As recipi-ents of God’s compassion, we must extend forgiveness and care beyond what might seem reasonable, because God’s love is be-yond human reason.
Word of the Week
Jeff Cavins to lead 8-week
Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
Study LIVE starting this September!
The creator of The Bible Timeline Learning System will be leading the Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible study live on Facebook and on our website, www.ascensionpress.com, starting September 16, 2020 at 8:00 PM eastern!
In this 8-week study, Jeff will be diving into topics that he did not have enough time to cover in the videos and workbook of the original Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible study. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to par ticipate in a study led by the au-thor himself! If you would like to participate but are not free at that time, the videos will be rec-orded and posted on our website and on Facebook for viewing after. As the event gets closer, we will be sending more specific instructions on how to join the live study and how to view the videos after. To get the most out of the study we recommend coming prepared to participate by purchasing an Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible workbook. The live Bible study sessions are free and open to anyone who wants to view them. Workbooks are highly recommended for participants to gain the most from each session, but are not required.
Please note: If you choose to order a workbook, we recommend doing so by September 4, 2020 for the best chance of receiving it before the event.
