FAITH FORMATION
ST. GREGORY THE GREAT POPE & DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Patron of Epilepsy, Musicians & Teachers MONDAY, SEPTEMBER
3
Pope Saint Gregory I, also known as the Great, was the Pope of
the Catholic Church between 590 and 604 AD. Born around 540,
Gregory was well educated and an expert in law. He became the
Prefect of Rome at age 33, just as his father had been. After five
years in office he resigned, founded six monasteries on his
Sicilian estate, and became a Benedictine monk in his own home at
Rome.
Pope Pelagius II, who reigned from 579 to 590, chose Gregory to
serve as an ambassador to the imperial court in Constantinople. In
590, Pope Pelagius II died, and Gregory was proclaimed pope by
acclamation. This was not something Gregory wanted, but he accepted
the burden nevertheless. Gregory preferred the monastic life in a
series of writings praising it. He also referred to himself as a
servant of God.
Pope Gregory was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests
from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the
papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards, and to care for
persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was very
concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from
his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, and
for strengthening respect for doctrine. Pope Gregory made many
changes to the Mass, some of which remain today - the position of
the Our Father in the Mass remains where Pope Gregory placed it.
Pope Gregory died on March 13, 604.
His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a
bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described
bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and
the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching,
Gregory was skilled at applying the daily Gospel to the needs of
his listeners. Called “the Great,” Gregory has been given a place
with Augustine, Ambrose, and Jerome, as one of the four key doctors
of the Western Church. An Anglican historian has written: “It is
impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the
lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the
medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is
Gregory the Great.”
ST. TERESA OF CALCUTTA Patron of World Youth Day &
Missionaries of Charity WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
Mother Teresa of Calcutta was born on August 26, 1910 to
Albanian parents in what is now Skopje, Macedonia. Gonxha (Agnes)
Bojaxhiu was the youngest of the three children who survived.
At 18, she entered the Loreto Sisters of Dublin. In 1928, she
said goodbye to her mother and made her way to a new land and a new
life. The following year she was sent to the Loreto novitiate in
Darjeeling, India. She chose the name Teresa and prepared for a
life of service. She was assigned to a high school for girls in
Calcutta, where she taught history and geography to the daughters
of the wealthy. But she could not escape the realities around
her—the poverty, the suffering, the overwhelming numbers of
destitute people. In 1946, while riding a train to Darjeeling to
make a retreat, Sister Teresa heard what she later explained as “a
call within a call. The message was clear. I was to leave the
convent and help the poor while living among them.” She also heard
a call to give up her life with the Sisters of Loreto and instead,
to “follow Christ into the slums to serve him among the poorest of
the poor.”
After receiving permission to leave Loreto and establish a new
religious community, Sister Teresa took a nursing course for
several months. She returned to Calcutta, where she lived in the
slums and opened a school for poor children. Dressed in a white
sari and sandals - the ordinary dress of an Indian woman - she soon
began work with the poor and sick. Volunteers who came to join her
in the work, some of them former students, became the core of the
Missionaries of Charity. Others helped by donating food, clothing,
supplies, and the use of buildings. In 1952, the city of Calcutta
gave Mother Teresa a former hostel, which became a home for the
dying and the destitute. As the order expanded, services were also
offered to orphans, abandoned children, alcoholics, the aging, and
street people.
For the next 40 years, Mother Teresa worked tirelessly for the
poor. 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. On Sept. 5,
1997, God called her home. She was canonized by Pope Francis on
Sept. 4, 2016.
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
St. Teresa of Calcutta

"From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts,
unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy,
blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and
they defile."
Central to this Gospel is the question, where does the heart
lie? Jesus teaches that observance of the Law and tradition is not
an end in itself but an indication of where the heart lies.
External actions reveal the internal desire to remain faithful to
our covenantal relationship with God. Jesus calls us to the true
purpose of the Law: a heart centered on God!
On this Labor Day weekend let us pray for all workers, for the
contributions and sacrifices each individual makes, not only for
their own families, but for the prosperity and well-being of our
country:
“Lord, on this Labor Day, we thank You for the blessing of work.
We ask for strength to complete each day. We ask for rest when we
are weary.
We ask for Your guidance for everyone seeking employment, and we
ask that You be with those whose faces we might never see
but who work tirelessly each day for the good of us all.
Amen”
Let us also remember in our prayers our beloved Pastor, Fr.
Floyd Rotunno, as well as his brother, Fr. Philip Rotunno, on the
second Anniversary of Fr. Floyd’s death on September 3rd.
Please mark your calendar and join me for the next “Tuesday
morning Study Group” in the Parish Center, beginning on Tuesday,
September 11th, 8:30-10am, on the History of the Catholic Church.
This presentation explores what it means to be One, Holy, Catholic,
and Apostolic. More details are within this Bulletin. Also, coming
up on Wednesday evenings in October, will be Rosary Devotions for
Life, with a special guest speaker from the Sisters of Life – more
details to follow.
Over the next few months you will see periodic inserts on online
Parish Giving. Our collections are so vital for the stability and
the future of this Parish so please make use of this service for
your convenience on a regular basis or when you are not able to be
with us. You can find the link “Parish Giving” on the top
right-hand corner of our Parish website – www.ihmcmahwah.org .
May God watch over all students as they go off to school this
week. May He watch over them as they open their minds and hearts to
learning, and socializing, in our society today; and may He guide
all our high school and college students as they confront new
opportunities, challenges and decisions in and their life. Let us
keep them, and their families, in our daily prayers!
God Bless You. Fr. Jacek
