“Who do people say that I am?”
They said in reply,
“John the Bap st, others Elijah,
s ll others one of the
prophets.”
And he asked them,
“But who do you
say that I am?”
“¿Quién dice la gente que soy
yo?” Ellos le contestaron:
“Algunos dicen que eres Juan el
Bau sta; otros, que Elías; y
otros, que alguno de los
profetas”.
Entonces él les preguntó:
“Y ustedes ¿quién dicen
que soy yo?”

The twelfth annual McKinney Hike for Life, a pro-life event
hosted by the Knights of Columbus to help raise awareness
and funds for the Dallas area pregnancy resource centers, will
be held on Saturday, October 3, in McKinney, at the Hilltop
Pavilion in Erwin Park. By being part of the Hike either as an
individual hiker, a member of a hiking team, or by just
sponsoring a hiker, you are taking part in the saving of hundreds of innocent babies.
Flyers with more information regarding times, locations, and contacts for all Hikes in the Dallas
area will be provided in the back of the Church, starting the weekend of September 5 and 6. Join Father,
CPLC representatives, and fellow parishioners for pre-hike festivities, the hike itself, and a free BBQ
afterwards. Please feel free to pick up a flyer and talk to a representative after Mass. Have your family,
friends, neighbors and co-workers sponsor you in this great cause!
You can also go to www.hikeforlifetexas.com to learn more about the Hike, register online or sponsor a fellow
parishioner. Get active--it’s one way we can stop this American tragedy.
For any additional questions, you may contact either George Fuchs at [email protected] or call
972-529-6703 or 972-965-6033 (texts welcome) or Charlie Jones at [email protected] or call

A LABOR DAY REFELCTION, by Deacon John Rapier
The first Monday in September was just another Monday until September 5, 1882, when 10,000 workers joined ranks
and marched with uncommon courage from City Hall to Union Square in New York City in solidarity with their follow
workers who had been brutally attacked for organizing for safer working conditions, a living wage and a work week that
allowed some time for family life and church services.
Just 12 years later in 1894 Congress declared the first Monday in September to be Labor Day in honor of the
contributions and achievements of all working men and women and the right to workers to organize for self-protection.
Prior to the labor movement in the United States, the average American worked twelve hour days six days per week.
Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as six toiled in factories across the country at wages a faction of the
meager wages paid to adults. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often endured unsafe
working areas without sufficient sanitary facilities or breaks.
Our Church has a long history as a champion of the dignity of human work. The Catholic Church has stood at the side of
the working class, especially the exploited. Catholic teaching is based on the principal that people are more important
than things -- that work is for the person not the person for work.
Today from the Book of Genesis [1:26-2:3], we learn that we are created in the image and likeness of God and that
through work we share in the task of creation with our Creator. This elevates our work from a purely human burden to
an activity that connects us with the Divine command to nurture that part of the world that has been entrusted to our care.
Pope Leo XIII, St. John XXIII, St. John Paul II and Pope Francis have made important contributions to the social
teaching of the Church on the dignity of labor and its importance to human development
In 1891, Pope Leo XIII, published Rerum Novarum – Rights and Duties of Capital and Labor. Pope Leo called for
decent wages and working conditions for the poor, especially those working in urban factories. Saint John XXIII
stressed that workers are “entitled to a wage that is determined in accordance with the precepts of Justice.” Saint John
Paul II called work “probably the essential key to the whole social question.”
Pope Francis states that “work is fundamental to the dignity of a person, It anoints us with dignity, fills us with dignity,
makes us close to God, gives one the ability to maintain oneself, one’s family and to contribute to the growth of our community and nation.”
The Gospel today from the Sermon on the Mount [Mathew 6:31-34] is a reminder that we, just like the birds in the air
and the flowers in the field, are totally dependent of God. Therefore, we should not worry or be anxious about our
temporal wellbeing but seek first the Kingdom of God through a personal relationship with Jesus. For us that means
doing the will of God, which we learn in our daily prayer and work.
The following poem by Presbyterian clergyman Henry van Dyke, 1852-1933, illustrates the message of both our Church
and country this Labor Day.
They who tread the path of labor follow where My feet have trod.
They who work without complaining, do the holy will of God.
Evermore for those who seek Me; I am with them everywhere;
Raise the stone, and you shall find Me, split the wood and I am there
Where the many toil together, there am I among My own;
Where the tired workman sleeps, there am I with him alone;
I, the Peace that passes knowledge, dwells amid the daily strife;
I, the Bread of Heaven am broken in the sacrament of life.
Every task, however simple, sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and mercy, done to man is done to Me.
Evermore for those who seek Me; I am with them everywhere;
Raise the stone, and you shall find Me, split the wood and I am there.
Our Lady of Sorrows
The Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of
Sorrows on September 15, the day after the feast of the
Holy Cross to show the close connection between Jesus'
Passion and Mary's Sorrows.
For a while there were two feasts in honor of the
Sorrowful Mother: one going back to the 15th
century, the other to the 17th century. For a while
both were celebrated by the universal Church: one
on the Friday before Palm Sunday, the other in
September.
The principal biblical references to Mary's
sorrows are in Luke 2:35 and John 19:26-27. The
Lucan passage is Simeon's prediction about a
sword piercing Mary's soul; the Johannine passage
relates Jesus' words to Mary and to the beloved
disciple.
Many early Church writers interpret the sword as
Mary's sorrows, especially as she saw Jesus die on
the cross. Thus, the two passages are brought
together as prediction and fulfillment.
St. Ambrose (December7) in particular sees
Mary as a sorrowful yet powerful figure at the cross.
Mary stood fearlessly at the cross while others fled.
Mary looked on her Son's wounds with pity, but saw
in them the salvation of the world. As Jesus hung on
the cross, Mary did not fear to be killed but offered
herself to her persecutors.

14 de septiembre
Nosotros hemos de gloriarnos en la cruz de nuestro Señor Jesucristo (Gálatas 6,14)
Con la pregunta dubitativa: ¿Quién creyó nuestro anuncio?, comienza el Profeta Isaías el capítulo 53 de su
Cuarto Cántico del Siervo de Yahvé. El mundo, con el señuelo y la novedad del progresismo, de la innovación
y de la singularidad, resulta más camaleónico de lo que se cree.
Le parece que está inventando la historia y produciendo novedades cuando sólo está renovando viejísimos
errores en nombre de la nueva cultura. Y junto a la consecuencia directa de la ignorancia, incoherencia y
entronización de la carencia de rigor, llega al pensamiento débil y a las ideas heréticas.
Salvarnos sin cruz, o con cruces deleitables, es un revivir el epicureismo y el hedonismo pagano. Algunos
cristianos tratan de desvirtuar la cruz, rebajando el vino del evangelio con el agua de la mediocridad, o
pagando tributo al relativismo, o con la escasa formación acomodaticia de que ya hablaba San Pablo:
Los judíos piden señales y los griegos buscan saber, nosotros predicamos un Cristo crucificado, escándalo
para los judíos, locura para los paganos, en cambio para los llamados, lo mismo judíos que griegos, un Mesías
que es portento de Dios y sabiduría de Dios: porque la locura de Dios es más sabia que los hombres y la
debilidad de Dios más potente que los hombres (1 Cor 22). …..
San Agustín dice: "El que te creó sin ti, no te salvará sin ti". Para esta supuesta cultura, la teología de la cruz
es una locura o una necedad, como decía el Apóstol, y no duda en preguntar Isaías: ¿Quién creyó nuestro
anuncio? ¿A quién se reveló el brazo del Señor?. Para los tales la fiesta de la Exaltación de la Cruz, se ha
convertido en devaluación de la Cruz de Cristo.

Nuestra Señora de Dolores
Un poco de historia
Bajo el título de la Virgen de la
Soledad o de los Dolores se venera
a María en muchos lugares. La fiesta
de nuestra Señora de los Dolores se
celebra el 15 de septiembre y
recordamos en ella los sufrimientos
por los que pasó María a lo largo de
su vida, por haber aceptado ser la
Madre del Salvador.
Este día se acompaña a María en
su experiencia de un muy profundo
dolor, el dolor de una madre que ve a su amado
Hijo incomprendido, acusado, abandonado por los
temerosos apóstoles, flagelado por los soldados
romanos, coronado con espinas, escupido,
abofeteado, caminando descalzo debajo de un
madero astilloso y muy pesado hacia el monte
Calvario, donde finalmente presenció la agonía de
su muerte en una cruz, clavado de pies y manos.
María saca su fortaleza de la oración y de la
confianza en que la Voluntad de Dios es lo mejor
para nosotros, aunque nosotros no la
comprendamos.
Es Ella quien, con su compañía, su fortaleza y su
fe, nos da fuerza en los momentos de dolor, en los
sufrimientos diarios. Pidámosle la gracia de sufrir
unidos a Jesucristo, en nuestro corazón, para así
unir los sacrificios de nuestra vida a los de Ella y
comprender que, en el dolor, somos más parecidos
a Cristo y somos capaces de amarlo con mayor
intensidad.
