This Weeks' Parish Bulletin
23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time- September 8 ,2024
The Word of God this Sunday
Isaiah’s poetic vision presents a world redeemed by God's saving power. What Isaiah communicates through poetry, Jesus communicates through action. We tend to think of salvation in terms of heaven and the hereafter. The readings open us to salvation as encountering and hearing God now.
“the first proclamation must ring out over and over
Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you;
and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten,
strengthen and free you!”
Pope Francis

The Feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary – September 8
Birthdays celebrate people. They are occasions to rejoice in and honor the whole life of that person. The other memorials, feasts, and solemnities of the liturgical year honor various specific aspects of Mary’s life. Today’s feast honors her whole life, her personhood, and the gift of who she was and is.
Dearest Mother Mary, your conception was immaculate and your birth glorious. You were conceived without sin, born without sin, and remained sinless throughout your life. In Heaven, you radiate God’s beauty and splendor and will do so for all eternity. Please pray that I will more fully imitate your many virtues, so that I can be a fitting instrument of your
divine Son in the world. Mother Mary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
FROM OUR BISHOP
“POPE FRANCIS CONTINUES HIS HISTORIC TOUR of Indonesia and Oceania this week, the longest such visit of his papacy. After spending time in Papua New Guinea today, he will move on to East Timor. This is a true missionary journey in every sense! Let us pray for the Holy Father’s wellbeing, and for the many people who will be spiritually encouraged by his visit.
“IN JULY, THE CANADIAN BISHOPS PUBLISHED A “Letter to the People of God,” commemorating the second anniversary of Pope Francis’ penitential visit to Canada. In this letter, the bishops provide an update on the steps that the Church in Canada has taken to respond to the Holy Father’s call for a future of justice, healing and reconciliation with Indigenous people. You can also read about our local efforts with the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund in the Diocese of Peterborough on our website.”
Part 1 of the update:
“Financial support for Indigenous priorities. In September 2021, following their national apology, the Catholic Bishops of Canada pledged $30 million for projects that support healing and reconciliation. These projects are identified by local Indigenous people and overseen by the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund (IRF). To date, the IRF has raised more than $15 million, and is therefore ahead of its five-year timeline. It has approved 166 projects determined in collaboration with First Nations, Métis and Inuit partners across the country”.

Pope Saint Gregory the Great- In the history of the Church, there are less than five popes esteemed with the title "the Great." One of the lesser known members of this impressive group is Pope St. Gregory the Great. Gregory is known for his prolific writing, his radical humility, his emphasis on missions, and his dedication to almsgiving. Enjoy this discussion between Dr. Tim Gray and Dr. John Sehorn
