While many of you are away on travels this holiday weekend, and will not have a copy of this bulletin in hand, you are able to see it on our parish website, and even access it through our parish’s Facebook Page. Which reminds me to ask, have you “liked” St. Lawrence on Facebook yet? It is a great way to stay abreast of all that is happening in your busy parish - especially as the Autumn fast approaches. A special “Thank You” to Richard Duello, Marianne VanName, Kelly Schreckenberger, Victor Juarez, Maribel Rodriguez, Mario Alejos, and Erenda Alejos for speaking at all the Masses last weekend about the ARISE program we will begin at St. Lawrence in October. I personally invite each and every parishioner to accept this timely opportunity to grow closer to Him Whom we serve! Again, see the bulletin, parish website and Facebook page for more information! Two other things come to mind as I feverishly try to beat the deadline for this bulletin to print! The first is an invitation to prayerfully rejoice with me and the entire Church Universal, at the Canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta today! What a marvelous example she was as a Disciple of Christ, laboring in the vineyard where the poorest of the poor needed her and the band of Sisters she gathered - some of whom continue to work right here in Atlanta, running a house to care for homeless women with HIV/AIDS. I’ve celebrated Mass several times with the sisters and residents there, and I never cease to be moved by the compassion of St. Teresa of Calcutta that inspires their labors. The second is to wish you a blessed Labor Day weekend. Try to remember to give thanks to God for all the abilities, gifts, talents and opportunities He created you with, remembering to keep Him at the center of your job and other labors! As Psalm 127 says: “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build. Unless the Lord guards the city, in vain does the guard keep watch. It is vain for you to rise early and put off your rest at night, to eat bread earned by hard toil...for it is God who gives these things to His beloved.” ST.
