TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
DEAR PARISHIONERS and VISITORS:
Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows
On Tuesday September 8th we celebrated the Nativity
(birthday) of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Reference material
says that this feast originated in Jerusalem in the 5th Century
AD. This date, of course, is nine months after the Solemnity
of the Immaculate Conception celebrated on December 8th.
Pope Benedict has said that Mary’s soul “was the space
from which God was able to gain access into humanity”.
Mary, body and soul, with her “Yes” at the Annunciation
then fully cooperated with God’s salvation plan.
Mary joined her son, Jesus, the Messiah, in His work of
redemption. This involved accepting sufferings for the
forgiveness of sins. On Tuesday, September 15, we celebrate
the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. Traditionally there
are seven sorrows that are associated with the Blessed
Virgin Mary as she follows her Son in His mission: hearing
the prophecy of Simeon about the sword of sorrow, being
refugees with Joseph and Jesus in Egypt, losing the child
Jesus in the temple, meeting Jesus as He carries His cross,
being with Jesus as He dies on the cross, witnessing the
piercing of the side of Jesus, and placing the body of Jesus
in the tomb.
One author writes that “we need the maternal closeness
of the Sorrowful Mother to sustain us when we are overcome
by the terrifying trials of life.”
At our Cathedral dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary,
let us pray that all people follow her words “do whatever He
tells you.” (John 2.5) May she continue to smooth the path
for each of us to her Son, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Fr. Galvon

Mary, Mother of Sorrows,
your power to suffer was great on earth.
You were associated in all Jesus did,
His sufferings as well as His joys.
On Calvary, you saw Him crucified and
received His dead body into your arms.
What sorrow this constituted for
your Mother’s heart!
But we know that this suffering
enabled you
to become the Mother of Life,
The Mother of supernatural life
for souls.
You can now suffer now more,
but those who are left on earth
still suffer.
Help me to offer all my sufferings
and sorrows,
no matter how big or little,
for the Church of God
and for the souls of all peoples.
Amen.

Y ustedes, ¿ quién dicen que soy yo ?
Con el pasaje que hoy se proclam a estam os en el centro
del evangelio de San Marcos. Este texto viene a ser uno de
los m om entos culm inantes de este escrito. Dice la narración
que Jesús, yendo de cam ino, hace de pronto una pregunta
directa a sus discípulos sobre su identidad: " ¿ Quién dicen
los hom bres que soy yo ? " Esto nos revela que desde
hacía tiem po existía, entre los judíos, un interrogante
acerca de quién era Jesús. Las respuestas m uestran que
en Jesús veían a una persona m isteriosa, difícil de definir y
de identificar. Después Jesús les pregunta directam ente a
ellos: Y ustedes, ¿ quién dicen que soy yo ?. Ésta es la
m ism a pregunta que Jesús nos hace hoy y siem pre.
Familia Católica
En días pasados leyendo un tríptico acerca de la
im portancia de la práctica de la fe católica en el hogar m e
sorprendió la estadística ahí presentada: si la m adre es
piadosa se da un 17% el que los hijos practiquen la fe en su
vida adulta. Si el padre es piadoso el porcentaje se aum enta
a un 93%. No cabe duda que el género m asculino tiene una
gran responsabilidad ante los retos que conlleva la crianza
integral de los hijos.

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
for the 24 th Sunday in Ordinary Tim e
St. James asks what our love for Jesus Christ can possibly
mean if it does not result in action on behalf of our neighbor.
He suggests that faith is demonstrated most acutely in care for
the needy, the suffering, and the underprivileged.
Stewardship includes proclaiming the Good News by putting
our faith into action on behalf of others. In what ways have
we been willing to make sacrifices and renunciations for the
sake of Jesus Christ and our neighbor?
