Established July 1, 2013
There is a Latin saying “Ora et labora” that Benedict Monks say
frequently. In English, it means “pray and work. These two words
are significant because they define us: Who we are? Created by God,
we are invited to creative work so the world and our Mother Earth –
our home will look nicer, safer, and friendly and will produce food
for all. From the beginning of written history until now we have
made tremendous progress. We made the life of each other easier and
we have more food to eat. Because of hard physi-cal and
intellectual work, we went beyond our earth to the Moon and now are
ready to go to Mars. In the medical field, great progress is made
so we will live longer and look younger. On this Labor Day weekend,
we celebrate human labor. We celebrate the fruits of human labor
that makes our lives happier. We keep in prayer those who do not
have a job or lost their job because of COVID-19. Prayer, the
second word from “Ora et labora”, is another great human action.
Only we, as human beings, can pray the prayers that makes us a
higher creature among all the species. Prayer, that we say
individually, helps us to know ourselves because only in the front
of God we stand in truth about our-selves. Prayer helps us to be
focused and concentrated. Prayer produces an emotional positive
experience, creates a feeling of unity and sacredness that bonds us
together with God and with others. Prayer gives us a feeling of
going beyond the ordinary. Prayer creates a feeling of having a
moment that transcends our time into something special and
meaningful. It becomes an emotional uplift that creates spiritual
energy, increases self-love and love and respect for God and
others. On this weekend, let us appreciate work and prayer – these
two capabilities that are changing our world. On this Labor Day
weekend, that is unique because of the coronavirus, let us keep in
prayer our First Responders and those in the Medical Field who are
helping us to survive during this pandemic.
God Bless,
Fr. Bogdan

The St. Faustina Handbell Choir is coming back! As you know, per
the Archdiocese’s guidelines, singing is not encour-aged in church
due to concerns with COVID-19, and as a result we can-not have
singing choirs at the moment. Our handbell choir, on the other
hand, can resume playing as we already wear gloves and are able to
so-cially distance. Are you looking for some way to get involved
with the parish? Come make music with us! No experience or musical
knowledge necessary. Rehearsals will be on Sundays at 10:00 am in
church beginning on Sep-tember 13th. If you have any questions,
please speak to Matthew our music director, or email him at
[email protected]

Second Reading: ROM 13:8-10
Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one
another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The
commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill;
you shall not steal; you shall not covet, ” and whatever other
commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely,
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to
the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people
of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify
you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly
King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of
the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the
Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy
Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm PS 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9
R. (8) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; let us acclaim the rock of
our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let
us joyfully sing psalms to him. R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts. Come, let us bow down in worship; let us
kneel before the LORD who made us. For he is our God, and we are
the people he shepherds, the flock he guides. R. If today you hear
his voice, harden not your hearts. Oh, that today you would hear
his voice: “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of
Massah in the desert, Where your fathers tempted me; they tested me
though they had seen my works.” R. If today you hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
First Reading: EZ 33:7-9 Thus says the LORD: You, son of man, I
have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me
say anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked, “O
wicked one, you shall surely die, ” and you do not speak out to
dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his
guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you
warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to
turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save
yourself.
Alleluia R. Alleluia, alleluia.
God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ
and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. R. Alleluia,
alleluia.

Gospel MT 18:15-20 Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother
sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him
alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he
does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that
‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three
witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he
refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a
Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind
on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you
agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall
be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three
are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of
them.”
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pi-late, he suffered
death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance
with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the
right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the
living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who
proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the
Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the
prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess
one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of
God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from
Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial
with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and
for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
Act of Spiritual Communion
It has long been a Catholic understanding that when
cir-cumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is
possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion which is a source of
grace. Spiritual Communion means uniting one’s self in prayer with
Christ’s sacrifice and wor-shipping Him in His Body and Blood. The
most common reason for making an Act of Spiritual Communion is when
a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spiritual Communion increase
our desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the
sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion
worthily.
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy
Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You
in
my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You
sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You
were already there and unite my-
self wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from
You.
Amen

The Convenience of Automated Tithing
Many families have already chosen to give one-time or recurring
donations through our web-site. Explore the convenience of online
giving at stfaustinawarren.org/give, and be one of the families who
set their tithe to automatically occur when, how often, and in the
amount they’d like to give. And always have access to update your
information, change gift amounts, enter new pay-ment methods, or
pause/cancel a gift at any time. With online giving, you can forget
about writing checks or swinging by the ATM.

deodorant, paper towels, and toilet tissue. Thank you for your
continued support and pray for peace in our country. “Love is a
fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.” …

PANTRY UPDATE
Excerpts from St. Faustina’s Diary
St. Faustina’s Diary is a compilation of her personal spiritual
journey: how she encountered Jesus and what He said directly to
her. It’s a beautiful testimony of faith, showing how trust in the
Lord, especially in times of uncertainty and doubt is absolutely
essential.
Jesus I Trust in You
(252) January 14, 937. Today, Jesus entered my room wearing a
bright robe and girded with a golden belt. His whole figure
resplendent with great majesty He said, My daughter, why are you
giving in to thoughts of fear? I answered, “O Lord, You know why,”
And He said, Why? “This work frightens me. You know that I am
incapable of carrying it out.” And he said, Why? “You see very well
that I am not in good health, that I have no money, that I am an
abyss of mis-ery, that I fear contacts with people. Jesus, I desire
only You. You can release me from this.” and the Lord said to me,
My daughter, what you have said is true. You are very miserable,
and it pleased Me to carry out this work of mercy precisely through
you who are nothing but misery itself. Do not fear; I will not
leave you alone. Do whatever you can in this matter; I will
accomplish everything that is lacking in you. You know what is
within your power to do; do that. The Lord looked into the depth of
my being with great kindness; I thought I would die for joy under
that gaze . The Lord disappeared, and joy, (253) strength and power
to act remained in my soul. But I was surprised that the Lord did
not want to release me and that He is not changing anything. He has
once said, And despite all these joys, there is always a shadow of
sorrow. I see that love and sorrow go hand in hand. 881 page
