To assist St. Augustine in administering to the sick we are asking your cooperation when submitting names for the Prayers of the Faithful and names to be added to the bulletin listing of the sick. The office staff will be requesting some details that will help determine the need for a clerical visit or assistance through a Eucharistic Minister for the homebound. The bulletin listing of the sick will be grouped bi-weekly so that we all can be aware of those newly added to the listing. The bulletin will maintain the listings for three months unless otherwise specified to be listed indefinitely. After three months names can be added once again if not otherwise listed as indefinite. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.

TWENTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME WORSHIP CHRISTIAN FORMATION Preparing for the Sunday readings Go to liturgy.slu.edu ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL Year Three: Equipping the Parish Year of Mercy: Forgiveness is a decision not a feeling. REFLECTION 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time "Anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple." It's a modern misconception to think of Jesus as the ultimate nice guy who only said things that everybody loved to hear. Of course Jesus is the perfect model of charity and compassion, but he also gave some very challenging teachings. Today's Gospel is a case in point. Not many people are thrilled by Christ's lesson today that insists God MUST be first in our lives. Few are those who love to hear this instruction to renounce our beloved things as well as our beloved relationships. But Jesus does not mince words. We are to "hate" our "father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters," and even our own life. It's important to understand that the use of the word "hate" here does not mean to despise anyone or treat them unkindly. It means rather to prefer something--or Someone--else, namely, God, to these important relationships. Taken in the context of the Gospel as a whole it is clear that Jesus is not advocating cruelty or animosity. On the contrary, just a few weeks ago we heard from Luke 10:27 as Jesus instructed us to love our neighbors as ourselves. However, in putting God first, inevitably something else must take second place. It is a kind of hatred of family, self, and "stuff" when we don't allow these things to become minigods in our lives. Instead, we keep God as God. What does this mean for us? It means not allowing a family member to prevent us from practicing our faith to the fullest, and also not putting our trust in gadgets and gizmos. It means, instead, putting all our trust in God, whatever the cost may be. ©Liturgical Publications Inc. DEACON CORNER: (BY DEACON AL) Effective September 8, 2016 there will be a change within the Catholic Church which will go relatively unnoticed. The “Rite of Marriage” becomes “The Order of Celebrating Matrimony.” Why the change? Following the Second Vatican Council the Church published a revised “Order of Celebrating Matrimony” in Latin. In 1991 there was a revised version with the English translation being delayed until now. The three significant revisions relate to the words “order,” “celebrating” and “matrimony.” The word “order” designates an entire ceremony and adding the article “the” clarifies the official status unique purpose. This is in keeping with the words “The Order” used for other sacraments. The word “matrimony” refers to something broader than the ceremony itself. It is meant to express the entire way of life an engaged couple needs to desire to be a permanent way of life and a faithful commitment to each other. The U. S. Conference f Catholic bishops hoped that using the word “matrimony” would set our Catholic meaning in relief against the current cultural usages of the word “marriage.” The word “celebrating” is to help people understand that the community celebrates a liturgy that launches a matrimonial life. It describes what happens in the church on the wedding day. It is hoped that the engaged couple will better understand the noble way of life that lies ahead of them, a life which Christ enriches with a sacrament, a life embraced out of love. Adult Confirmation If you are an adult Catholic desiring the Sacrament of Confirmation, please contact Amanda Roberts (ext. 1113) at the parish office for general information. Interested in the Catholic Faith? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults process offers the opportunity to begin inquiry into the teachings and the practice of Catholicism. The program offers varied paths for individuals who are unbaptized, those baptized in another Christian faith tradition, or baptized Catholics who have limited upbringing in the Church. Questions are welcome, dialogue is encouraged, prayer and support are integral, and very individual spiritual journeys are the norm. Just curious? Just wondering? Really interested? A bit nervous? Married/engaged to a Catholic and/or children in the faith and in need of information? Attending Mass (perhaps for years!) and feeling awkward in stepping forward? Know a little and thinking it’s all a bit mysterious? For further details, and registration, contact Amanda Roberts at 275-7962. EveryWoman The EveryWoman book group will resume meeting on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 6:30pm beginning on September 7th. Please contact the office if you are interested.

El Papa nos recomienda que para ser discípulo de Cristo, debemos de practicar tres actitudes concretas. La primera es la disponibilidad, ser materia dispuesta y dejar todo a segundo plano, hasta la propia vida para alcanzar la meta del Reino desde aquí en la tierra. La exigencia es recompensada con la amistad y cercanía íntima con Jesús. La segunda es renunciar a nosotros mismos y tomar la cruz para seguirlo. La cruz nos acerca a Jesús, y nos brinda la oportunidad de acompañarlo en la vida cotidiana. La última condición es la renuncia de los propios bienes, compartiendo lo que tenemos con los más necesitados. Seguir a Jesucristo no es fácil, pero nunca nos faltara su ayuda. ¿Crees esto? ¿Cuál de las tres actitudes te parece más difícil? ¿Cuál es la más fácil? San Pablo nos ayuda a comprender estas actitudes llevando a cabo la caridad cristiana: "... a fin de que lo recuperaras [a Onésimo] para siempre, pero ya no como esclavo, sino como algo mejor que un esclavo, como hermano amadísimo". La enseñanza es amar como Cristo nos ha amado. ¿Lo haremos? Las limitaciones del ser humano son muchas pero, si se abre el corazón a la sabiduría divina y al Santo Espíritu de Dios, todo puede ser superado. ©Liturgical Publications Inc.
