PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP

O MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP, grant that I may ever invoke your most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest MARY, O Sweetest MARY! Let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to succor me whenever I call on you, for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sa-cred name, Mary, Mary! Oh, what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emo-tion, fills my soul when I utter your sacred name, or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you, Mother of Perpetual Help!

WORKERS The workers are the saviors of society, the redeemers of the race. —Eugene V. Debs

HUMILITY Humility is a virtue we don’t see much in our times. It seems that bragging, swaggering, and arrogance dominate our fashion for everything and our Internet conversations. Who hasn’t been irritated by the “trolls” who try (usually with bad grammar and poor spelling) to start an online fight with those whose opinions do not align with theirs? Our stores, catalogs, and online shopping sites are full of useless items geared in use and price to the very rich, as ordinary, useful things seem to fade off the sales scene. As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is fading away. What is the antidote to this? Humility is a good place to start. Devotion to God is worth more than riches. “The fa-ther of orphans and the defender of widows is God in his holy dwelling. God gives a home to the forsaken; [God] leads forth prisoners to prosperity.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LA HUMILDAD La humildad es una virtud que no vemos mucho en estos días. Parece que la vanidad, la prepotencia y la arro-gancia dominan nuestras costumbres de todo y en nuestras

conversaciones en Internet. ¿Quién no se ha mo-lestado por los trolls de quienes intentan (por lo general con una mala gramática y falta de ortogra-fía) empezar una pelea con aquellas personas que no coinciden con sus opiniones? Nuestras tiendas, catálogos y tiendas virtuales en línea están llenas de cosas inútiles destinados al uso y por el precio a los ricos, en tanto las cosas ordinarias parecen desaparecer de esos lugares de venta. A medida que los ricos se hacen más ricos, los pobres se van

haciendo más pobres y la clase media va desapareciendo. ¿Cuál es el antídoto para esto? La humildad es un buen lugar para empezar. La devoción a Dios vale mucho más que todas las riquezas. “Padre de huérfanos, protector de viudas, Dios vive en su santa morada, Dios prepara casa a los desvalidos, libera a los cautivos y los enriquece”.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The readings today center on mindfulness, aware-ness of where we stand in God’s plan. The mountain of Sinai carries a message of the majesty and distance of God, while Jesus’ presence as host of the banquet speaks of intimacy and mystery. September’s shadow calls us all to mindfulness as we prepare to return to life outside of summer. The Christian life holds these two places of knowledge of God in careful balance. Even in the accounts of the Passion we see the table of the upper room in balance with the Mount of Ol-ives. Altar means “high place,” yet it is also a table. The former liturgy of the Latin Rite began with the priest bowing at the foot of the altar’s three steps, chanting Introibo ad altare Dei, or “I will go to the altar of God,” followed by the altar servers’ response, “The God who gives joy to my youth.” Many parish-ioners can recall and recite this scene by heart. As with so many things in liturgy, there are layers of meaning in our worship. The altar table evokes mem-ories of the high places once reserved for encounter with the holy, and the intimacy of the table where hospitality draws us to share food and drink. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Por esta época recordamos la natividad de María, madre de Jesús. María es muy popular entre muchos pueblos y en especial en los pueblos latinos. Al prin-cipio del mes de septiembre dos naciones toman la fiesta de su nacimiento para recordarla bajo el titulo de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba y de Nuestra Señora de Coromoto en Venezuela. La Virgen del Cobre fue descubierta en el siglo XVI por dos indígenas y un niño africano llamados los tres Juanes, cuando estos fueron al mar en busca de sal. Después de una fuerte tempestad ellos encon-traron flotando sobre las olas una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios en brazos. La imagen flotaba sobre una tabla que decía yo soy la Virgen de la Cari-dad. Milagrosamente la imagen estaba seca. También en el siglo XVI la Virgen se le apareció al cacique de los indígenas Coromoto en Venezuela. Estos se resistían a la evangelización y ella se apare-ció sobre las aguas invitándolos al bautizo cristiano. Estas dos manifestaciones marianas llevan a Jesús en brazos recordándonos que María nada puede sin Cristo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copy-right © J. S. Paluch Co. TRABAJADORES Los trabajadores son los salvadores de la socie-dad, los redentores de la raza. —Eugene V. Debs
