At Home with the Lord Remember Lord and welcome into your Kingdom those who have died and gone before us marked

in the sign of faith, especially

Alice Schultz Raymond Schneider

Please pray for the consolation of their loved ones.

"O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for

you as you wish." This woman was an outsider.

She was a Canaanite, not an Israelite, and as

such she would have been considered ritually un-

clean. But she approached Jesus nonetheless

and asked for his help. And Jesus used this op-

portunity to teach his disciples an important les-

son.

In the verses directly before today's passage, Je-

sus had told Peter that what defiles a person

comes from the heart, not from ignoring external

purity practices. Then, Jesus traveled with his

disciples from Galilee to the region of Tyre and

Sidon where they were much more likely to en-

counter someone considered to be unclean.

At first it appeared that Jesus wasn't going to ac-

knowledge the woman who begged for help. His

comment, "It is not right to take the food of the

children and throw it to the dogs," was a common

comparison between Jews (the children) and Ca-

naanites (the dogs). But, in fact, Jesus said this

only to go right ahead and break this social code!

He showed by his actions that it did not matter

whether someone was Jewish or not, what mat-

tered was the faith in a person's heart. And this

woman proved to Jesus and the doubting disci-

ples that she had great faith. How many others

would have even approached Jesus to ask for his

help? How many others would have persevered

when he appeared unresponsive? By pausing in

his response, and first mentioning the standard

reply, Jesus gave this woman the opportunity to

demonstrate her great faith. And then, he an-

swered her request and praised her extraordinary

faith. What a lesson for his prejudiced disciples!

And what a lesson for us, both to persevere in

faith, and

never to judge

others on

mere

appearances.

Mission Co Op Weekend The IHM Sisters request your support in their Mis-sion Cooperative Appeal this weekend. Your support is critical to their outreach to the under-served people of Peru. IHM Sisters minister to thousands of people each year through their work in 16 states, the District of Columbia, and Peru. The IHM Sisters have served in the Diocese of Pittsburgh for over 100 years. Sr. Delia Marie McNierney, IHM and will be our speaker on behalf of the IHM missionary ministries.

Eucharistic Adoration & Veneration of the Relic of St. Jerome

at St. Anthony's Chapel

On Sunday, September 3rd at 3:00 pm, we will

begin to pray the Church's evening prayer before

Christ in the Eucharist. The Blessed Sacrament

will be exposed in the monstrance at the begin-

ning of evening prayer and the service will con-

clude with Benediction, Christ imparting His

blessing to us in His Eucharistic Presence. Fol-

lowing the service, the faithful who wish to do so

will have the opportunity to venerate a relic of one

of the saints. For September, it will be the relic

of Saint Jerome whose feast day is September

30th.

GOSPEL MEDITATION 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Diocesan Collection 26 & 27 During the weekend of August 26 & 27, we will take up a second collection for the Catholic Com-munication and Catholic University of America Campaigns. The Catholic Communication Cam-paign is a collection that helps to support our weekly televised Masses and various catechetical video programs. This is a mandated collection from the Diocese of Pittsburgh where a gift from each parish is expected. This second collection will assure that this gift does not have to come from parish general funds. Thank you for your generosity.

The Lord Provides – Even when we strive to be close with God we can wonder if he’s really listening to us or if he really cares for us with an unquenchable love. This is especially true in moments of trial or challenge. Yet, we know that when we focus our eyes and ears and hearts on the things of God we can see his love at work for us in all things. In his letter to the

Romans, Saint Paul reminds us that “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable,” that nothing can separate us from his love. Are you challenged by the changes that will soon take place in your parish and throughout the Diocese of Pittsburgh? Join Bishop David Zubik in prayer and worship at one of the On Mission for

The Church Alive! Summer Sessions and be renewed in God’s love for his people. The changes may chal-lenge us, but we trust in the work of the Holy Spirit to provide the gifts and resources for the Church to grow and thrive. The Summer Sessions will be held from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. on the following days: Thursday, August 24 at Saint Mary of the Assumption, Glenshaw; Monday, August 28 at Saint Thomas More, Bethel Park; Tuesday, August 29 at Saint Margaret Mary, Moon Township; Wednesday, August 30 at Saint Kilian, Adams/Cranberry Townships.

Everyday Stewardship

The Jubilee Year of Mercy is now in the history books and looking back I wonder if I have been changed at all by the observance. Certainly the focus on mercy wasn't all about God's mercy toward me? Yes, I focused on my sin and the need for God's forgiveness and grace, but hopefully that changed how I live my life and how I offer mercy to others.

The mercy we receive from God is not something we are to keep bottled up or hidden from others. Jesus taught us to treat others the way we would like to be treated and to love everyone, even our enemies. When Jesus healed the Canaanite woman I wonder what she did next. I would hope she in turn offered mercy and healing to others. Of course, I know she was imperfect just like me so I am sure in no time she was back to needing the mercy of Jesus. Her demon was gone, but there is always a new evil around every corner.

However, the fact that we are a broken people always in need of mercy does not lessen the command for us to offer mercy. Mercy is a gift like so many others that God lavishes on us with great generosity. We are called to cultivate this and share it with others as well. If we cannot do that then what was the real effect of God's mercy in our lives? If we do not allow God to change us into more generous stewards ready to offer mercy and love to all, then perhaps we are fooling ourselves that we are true disciples of Jesus at all.

A Family Perspective By Bud Ozar -The mother in today’s gospel persisted, even when she was ignored and insulted. She would do whatever was necessary to bring relief to her child. Parenting is more than bringing life into the world; it is also about sacrificing daily for your children.

St. Vincent de Paul Society - The Gospel today an-nounces that the kingdom and salvation are for all people. It is our persistent calling out to Jesus and our faith that count, for Jesus always responds. With love for your neighbors who have nothing, look around your house to see what furniture, household items, and clothing you no longer use�and give it to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

Northside Catholic Grade School will hold its annual Fall Craft & Vendor Show on Saturday, August 26th, from 9am—5pm. The show will be held in the gym - main entrance of the school. Many crafters and ven-dors, and the concession stand will be open!
