Today’s Gospel Reflection

1st Reading: Is 35:4-7a * Psalm 146:7-10 * 2nd Reading: Jas 2:1-5 * Gospel: Mk 7:31-37

FEAR NOT In these times, there is plenty to be afraid of, if we only look around. It seems that every day the news media have yet more bad news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism, drought, social unrest, and more. Some people have stopped using clock radios to wake up in the morning, preferring a jarring buzzer to the even more jarring morning news. What more do we need before we realize that we are finite creatures, and while there is much we can do to make our world better, ultimately there is a lot that is simply not within our grasp? To this our loving God says, “Be strong, fear not!” We must do what we can to make our world a better and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and that our ultimate safety is in the hands of God. We can be comforted by the realization that God loves us beyond measure, and will give us every help in our efforts to make our world a loving and safe place for everyone. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Dear Parishioners and friends, Recently the pro-life organization released a video showing officials of Planned Parenthood discussing how the abortion business sells “fully intact” aborted babies. Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM Cap., archbishop of Boston and chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), made the following statement: “Pope Francis has called abortion the product of a ‘widespread mentality of profit, the throwaway culture, which has today enslaved the hearts and minds of so many.’ The recent news stories concerning Planned Parenthood direct our attention to two larger issues involving many institutions in our society. The first is abortion itself: a direct attack on human life in its most vulnerable condition. The second is the now standard practice of obtaining fetal organs and tissues through abortion. Both actions fail to respect the humanity and dignity of human life. This fact should be the center of attention in the present public controversy. If the Planned Parenthood news coverage has caused anyone to experience revived trauma from their own involvement in abortion, be assured that any and all persons will be welcomed with compassion and assistance through the Church’s post-abortion healing ministry, Project Rachel. If you or someone you know would like confidential, nonjudgmental help, please visit www.projectrachel.com.” We ask you, dear parishioners and friends, to pray for the unborn, their mothers, and those mislead into believing that abortion is the solution to the problem. Join the “40 Days for Life” on September 23 to November 1, 2015 and pray for the immediate and permanent closure of the local abortion mills in San Diego.

Fr. Manny Ediza & Fr. Bernard Ranoa

Theme: “CHRIST IN YOU, OUR HOPE OF GLORY”

IEC 2016 PRAYER Lord Jesus Christ, our hope of glory, You are the fulfillment of the Father’s plan to save all humanity. You are the mystery hidden from the ages and from generations past now manifested to us. You abide in Your Church in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist. As we celebrate the Holy Eucharist and receive Your Body and Blood, grant us the awareness that Your presence in us urges us to continue your saving mission in the world. Send us Your Spirit, that He may lead us to walk humbly with the poor and the marginalized, in the company of Mary, your most holy mother and ours. O Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament, to you be all honor and glory and praise in the unity of the Father and the Holy Spirit. One God, forever and ever. Amen.

“The 51st International Eucharistic Congress offers the opportunity to experience and comprehend the Eucharist as a transformative encounter with the Lord in his word and in his sacrifice of love,

so that all may have life, and live in abundance (cf. Jn 10:10). It is a propitious occasion to rediscover the faith as a source of Grace that brings joy and hope in personal, familial and social life.”

- Pope Francis

Blessings from St. Michael Academy to the St. Michael Parish Community!

Two weeks of school are behind us! We are now settling into the routine of daily classroom respon-sibilities. Please continue to keep the Academy in your prayers as we continue to work “to form

disciples to be spiritually, intellectually, and socially prepared to integrate gospel values for living a Catholic, Christian life in a secular world.” (SMA Mission and Vision)

As we celebrate this Labor Day holiday, let us pray for all those whose labors enrich our lives as well as those who seek employment. Let us pray with gratitude for all God has granted us. Enrollment/registration is an ongoing process at St. Michael Academy. We are a Kindergarten through 8th Grade school. Call the office and schedule a tour of the Academy. Give us an opportunity to show you how the cost of your child’s Catholic education can fit into your budget. Call 619-470-4880, or e-mail Mrs. Lewis at rlewis@stmichaelsandiego.org. Fr. Manny offers a $1000 discount to new families enrolling in the Academy. Yours in Christ,

Mary Johnson, Principal

The mission of the Academy is to form young disciples to be spiritually, intellectually, and socially prepared to integrate gospel values for living a Catholic, Christian life in a secular world. We are committed to providing a Christian environment where students experience God through exploration of their lives and the wonders of His creation. The Academy envisions itself as a partner with par-ents; sharing the educational ministry of the Church.

GOD’S WORD TODAY Today Saint James offers us a reminder: “Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls.” He goes on to tell us to be “doers of the word and not hearers only.” What does it mean to be “doers of the word”? Perhaps what we are called to do is to be more attentive when the scriptures are proclaimed. Too often the sacred word just goes by us, without making any impression. We need to become people who expect that God’s word will have an impact on us each and every week when we gather in this holy place. God’s word is meant to transform us—our attitudes and actions—into people who radiate Christ, the one who is the eternal Word of the Father. As the word of God is proclaimed today let us pray that we will honor God with hearts transformed and spirits uplifted by that very word. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company

Reminder! Confirmation classes start next weekend.

1st year: Monday, September 14, from 6 – 7:30pm in the Parish Hall. 2nd year: Sunday, September 13, from 2:30 – 4pm in the Collier Center.

Please don’t forget to bring your bibles, binders and pens.

“Gifts are given not to be hidden but to be shared with others. They are not given for the benefit of the one who

receives them, but for the use of the People of God. —Pope Francis (11/6/13)

For guidance and inspiration, let us embrace the message of Pope Francis: “There is no limit to the

divine mercy, which is offered to everyone.”

Culture of Life Jim Bundalian. 619) 917-1699

"It is necessary to reaffirm our solid opposition to any direct offense against life, especially when innocent and defenseless, and the unborn child in its mother's womb is the quintessence of innocence. Let us remember the words of Vatican Council II: 'Therefore from the moment of its conception life must be guarded with the greatest care while abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes.'" - Pope Francis (5/9/14)

Pray to end abortion. Participate in the “40 Days for Life” from September 23 to November 1, 2015. Prayer vigils will

be held in front of the Planned Parenthood Center in Chula Vista (1295 Broadway). Come and pray the Rosary to promote a Culture of Life every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., in the Church.

Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life

O God, throughout the ages you have called women and men to pursue lives of perfect charity through the evangelical

counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

2015 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL (ACA) HAVE YOU PLEDGED YET? Our participation in the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal is a tangible expression of our response to Jesus’ call to be His disciples.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support as we participate in living the Church’s mission to love the Lord in those whom we serve.

Refleciones del Evangelio

NO TEMAN En estos tiempos, hay muchas razones para temer, con tan sólo mirar a nuestro alrededor. Tal parece que cada día los medios de comunicación tienen más malas noticias que anunciar: guerras, enfermedades, terrorismo, sequía, disturbios sociales, y mucho más. Algunas personas han dejado de usar los radios despertadores prefiriendo ser despertados por la sacudida de la alarma chillona y no de las malas noticias matutinas. ¿Qué más necesitamos para darnos cuenta de que somos criaturas limitadas, y aunque hay mucho que podemos hacer para mejorar nuestro mundo, en última instancia hay mucho que simplemente no está a nuestro alcance? Para esto, nuestro amoroso Dios nos dice: “¡Ánimo! No teman.” Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro, pero también debemos reconocer nuestros límites y que nuestra seguridad absoluta está en manos de Dios. Nos puede servir de consuelo la realización de que Dios nos ama sin medida, y nos dará toda la ayuda necesaria para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar acogedor y seguro para todos. Copyright © J. S.
