26 Sunday in Ordinary Time –
Sunday, September 25, 2016
Today’s second collection is taken in support of the
diocesan tuition assistance program. Monies raised
through this collection coupled with the diocese’s
tuition assistance endowment provides financial
assistance to hundreds of deserving families who seek a
Catholc education for their children but who cannot
afford the full cost of tuition. If you are not prepared to
contrinbute today, you may drop your contribution off
at the parish office or place it in next week’s collection
basket. For further information, visit the diocesan
website at cdow.org and hit the Share in the Spirit link.
In today’s second reading, St. Paul reminds us that “no
human being has seen or can see” God. But in His great
love for women and men, God calls people in every age
to the consecrated life – to live as signs of His presence
in the world and as agents of His redeeming love. Is
God calling you to live in this way – as a religious sister
or brother, as a deacon or a priest? If you think so, call
or write Father Norm Carroll, Diocesan Director of
Priestly and Religious Vocations (302-573-3113,
[email protected].)
The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus contrasts the
life of the rich and the poor. As Catholics, we are called
to care for the poor in our lives as disciples. Bring It
Home by talking as a family about the marginalized in
your schools and your places of employment. Are there
students who are hungry or do not have clothing? Are
there classmates who are bullied and picked on for
being different? Do you work with someone who is
struggling with a problem? What can you do this week
to reach out to them? Let us be more aware of the
marginalized in our communities, and strive to act with
compassion to all we meet.
As men and women of God we are to “pursue
righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience and
gentleness.” We are called to keep his commandment
to love one another as he has loved us. Is this evident
in your lives and marriages? Strengthen, renew and
rekindle your marriage by attending the next
Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend scheduled for
November 4-6 in Rehoboth Beach, DE. For more
information, visit our webiste at www.wwmedelmar.org or to register for the weekend, please call
Tony & Linda Massino @ 302-220-9833.
This year the Sisters of St. Francis have earmarked the
proceeds of their raffle to help care for their retired
sisters living at Assisi House, their retirement home in
Aston, PA. The Sisters will be coming to our parish to
sell raffle tickets after masses on the weekend of
October 8th and 9th, 2016. Your support through the
purchase of a book of raffle tickets for $10 will help to
provide our sisters with the loving care they deserve
after a life of service to others. We would welcome
your participation. Bring your address labels and your
check book. Checks are made out to the Sisters of St.
Francis Foundation.

LOOKING BEYOND OURSELVES
The message found in today’s readings is an oft-told
story. Citizen Kane, Daddy Warbucks, and King Midas
are only a few of the familiar fictional characters who
thought enormous wealth could buy happiness and
fulfillment. Daddy Warbucks admitted stepping on a
few people in his climb to the top. Kane tried to buy the
printed word and stardom for his young wife, while King
Midas conjured immense wealth and tragedy by his
very touch.
We learn clearly in today’s readings that none of this is
really possible. True happiness comes from caring for
someone other than ourselves. It comes from the
pursuit of the virtues Paul described to Timothy: faith,
love, gentleness, godliness, righteousness, and
endurance. The Gospel reminds us that we dare not
ignore the needs of others, acting as though we don’t
notice their suffering. God’s call to us is much too clear
to disregard for even one more day. Copyright © J. S.
Paluch Co.
MIRAR MÁS ALLÁ DE NOSOTROS MISMOS
El mensaje de las lecturas de hoy es una vieja historia. El
Ciudadano Kane, Papi Warbucks y el Rey Midas son
sólo unos pocos de los familiares personajes ficticios que
pensaban que con una enorme fortuna podrían comprar
la felicidad y la completa satisfacción. Papi Warbucks
admite haber pisoteado a algunas personas en su ascenso
a la cumbre. Kane trató de comprar la palabra impresa y
el estrellato para su joven esposa, mientras que el Rey
Midas conjura inmensa fortuna y tragedia sólo con su
toque.
Aprendemos claramente en las lecturas de hoy que nada
de esto es posible. Alcanzamos la verdadera felicidad
cuando nos interesamos en los demás. Cuando
practicamos las virtudes que Dios describe a Timoteo:
fe, amor, mansedumbre, piedad, rectitud y justicia. El
Evangelio nos recuerda que no osemos ignorar las
necesidades de los demás, actuando como si no
notáramos su sufrimiento. El llamado de Dios a nosotros
es demasiado claro para ignorarlo ni un solo día más.

This week is chock full of feasts and memorials. Take
time to learn more about the saints and angels we
remember this week. It is especially fitting that as we
heard in today’s gospel and are reminded that we
should never be blinded to the needs of others, we
celebrate the Memorial of St. Vincent de Paul on
September 27th. What an opportunity to bring the
gospel message to life!!! Please remember the Poor
Boxes found at all the exit doors – a simple act of
kindness each week helps so many in need.
Esta semana está lleno de fiestas y memorias. Tómese el
tiempo para aprender más acerca de los santos y los
ángeles que recordamos esta semana. En concreto,
conviene que como hemos escuchado en el Evangelio de
hoy y recuerda que nunca debemos cegarnos a las
necesidades de los demás, se celebra la memoria de San
Vicente de Paul el 27 de septiembre . Qué oportunidad
para llevar el mensaje del evangelio a la vida !!! Por
favor, recuerde las cajas para las que se encuentran en
todas las puertas de salida - un simple acto de bondad
cada semana ayuda a tantas personas que lo necesitan.

Marriage Moments:
A fiancé was thrilled to have finally found Ms. Right.
Not long after the wedding, he was disillusioned to
discover that her first name was ”Always.” Of
course you can reverse the genders. Negotiating differences
and letting go of my way is the art of marriage.
Parenting Pointers:
When things are not going well for you or your child (and
there are plenty of days like this) try reversing your attitude.
Think of one thing that you are grateful for this day. Ask your
child to stretch to think of something too.
As always, check out inserts on the website under
weekly flyers.
If you are in need of a Home Health Care Aide with
experience, we have a parishioner who is qualified. Key
skills are helping with bathing, meal preparation,
laundry, assist with doctor appointments as well as
medication. Please call the rectory for more
information.
