avoid confusion, but it will also save the cost of paying

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the
crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be
because of their inability to repay you.” Luke 14:14
We have a difficult time with the concept of giving without
expecting something in return. Even when we give to charity
we often want something in return - a raffle ticket, a dinner,
or a chance to play golf. Yet, as Christian stewards we need
to remember that the true reward for our giving awaits us in
heaven.

22nd Sunday in Ordinary
As many of you know, a family in
our parish recently lost their home in a fire.
Thankfully they were able to escape safely.
People have already responded very
generously offering assistance, but the
family will have needs further down the road. If you would like
to make a donation, a fund has been established at Liberty Bank
in town. Just stop into Liberty Bank and mention that you would
like to make a donation to the Gioielli fund and they will know
what to do.
Jesus tells us in the gospels that if he have faith the size of
a mustard seed we can move mountains. We may need that faith
in days, weeks, and months ahead. Wars and terrorist activities
are taking a big human toll. Egypt, Syria, the continent of Africa,
Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan are all places where people are dying
in great numbers because of violence. You and I can make a
difference through prayer. Prayer cannot only move mountains, it
can end wars. I remember the famous story of Mother Teresa in
Beirut, Lebanon. There was intense fighting and word got out
that there was an orphanage right in the middle of some of the
worst fighting. Mother Teresa said “ I have asked Our Lady and
she said that tomorrow there would be a cease fire.” The
commentator in the documentary said “what was needed right
now was not a saint.” Well, it turns out, what was needed at the
moment was indeed a saint. As the sun rose the next morning,
sure enough, the guns were silent. A cease fire had been declared.
In the village of Medjugorje in Bosnia, a place where it is
reported that the Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing, not
one person from the village was injured in the Bosnian/Croatian
conflict. In fact, bombs landed near the church but never
detonated! In the diary Divine Mercy in my soul by Saint
Faustina Kowalska she relates the following story: “In the
evening, when I was in my cell, I saw an angel, the executor of
divine wrath. He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his face
gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the cloud, bolts
of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing into his hands;
and from his hand they were going forth, and only then were they
striking the earth. When I saw this sign of divine wrath which
was about to strike the earth, and in particular a certain place,
which for good reasons I cannot name, I began to implore the
angel to hold off for a few moments and the world would do
penance. But my plea was a mere nothing in the face of the
divine anger. Just then I saw the Most Holy Trinity. The
greatness of its majesty pierced me deeply, and I did not dare to
repeat my entreaties. At that very moment I felt in my soul the
power of Jesus’ grace, which dwells in my soul. When I became
conscious of this grace, I was instantly snatched up before the
Throne of God. Oh, how great is our Lord and God and how
incomprehensible His holiness! I will make no attempt to
describe his greatness, because before long we shall see Him as
He is. I found myself pleading with God for the world with words
heard interiorly. As I was praying in this manner, I saw the
Angel’s helplessness; he could not carry out the just punishment
that was rightly due for sins. Never before had I prayed with such
inner power as I did then. The words with which I entreated God
are there: Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul
and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ
for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of his
sorrowful passion, have mercy on us.” Praying the divine mercy
chaplet will bring peace to our homes and peace to our war-torn
world.

MATRIMONY
A beautiful sacrament full of
blessings, romance, love,
commitment, comedy, giving,
new life, joys, sorrows, adventure, challenges,
responsibilities, growth, memories and more.
“Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target.
What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect
you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you,
that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the
development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but
if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a
living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not
go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.” Gordon B. Hinckley

Introduction-Liturgy of the Word:
As we gather on this Labor Day weekend, we are reminded
at this Mass that God seeks out and upholds the lowly of
this world. Our psalm refrain sings, “God, in your
goodness, you have made a home for the poor,” and our
Gospel says, “The one who humbles himself will be
exalted.” Let us give praise and thanks to God today for all
who labor, whatever their rank or position, and pray for all
who need work. And let us pray for the grace of humility
for ourselves.

LOVE THEM BOTH
The number of abortions in the United
States has declined 25% since 1990.
Still, 28% of those having abortions identify
themselves as Catholic.
A pro-life organization called
Heroic Media created an ad raising awareness of the Pain-Capable
Unborn Child Protection Act that
would outlaw abortions after 20
weeks. The ad featured a baby around 20 to 24 weeks
being held in a person’s hand. The caption beside the
image read: “This child has no voice, which is why it
needs yours.”
This group wanted to purchase ad space from certain
newspapers, but three major newspapers turned them
down, because the image of the small child was “too
controversial.” It was the Chicago Tribune, LA Times
and USA Today that refused to run their ad. (http://

SEPTEMBER HEALTH TIP
TRANSPORTATION NEEDED
BODY FAT & YOUR BMI
Your body fat percentage is your total mass of divided by your total
weight. Body fat includes essential body fat and storage body fat.
The percentage of essential body fat for women is greater than that
for men, due to the demands of childbearing and other hormonal
functions. Your body fat percentage is a measure of fitness level, and
can be calculated at http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/body-fatpercentage-calculator.
A parishioner in town is no longer able to drive to Sunday
10:30 Mass and would like to continue. If you are willing
and able to help, please call the office to make arrangements 860-267-6644. Thank you in advance.
(BMI) also provides a measure that allows the comparison of the
adiposity (fat) of individuals. It compares your height to your weight
and gives you an indication of whether you are overweight, underweight or at a healthy weight for your height.
We are in need of several people, who would be willing to drive to Big Y in Rocky Hill - several times a week
- to pick up bakery items that they donate to SVDP. Generally 2-5 shopping carts full. Please email:
Lydia@svdmiddletown.org or call 860-344-0097 ext. 18 if
you are available.
The soup kitchen is always in need of ceramic coffee
cups, stainless steel forks and spoons. If you are cleaning
cabinets out, please consider donating them to the soup
kitchen. Contact Lydia or simply drop them off between
7:00am and 2:00pm. Many thanks for your continued
support of our neighbors in need.
To calculate your BMI:
- Take your height in inches and multiply that number by the same number
- Divide your weight in pounds by this figure
- Take this number and multiply it by 703 and this new number is your BMI.
Example:
Height 5'6" tall, so 66 inches.
66 x 66 = 4356
Weight = 160 lbs.
Divide 160 by 4356 = 0.04
Multiply 0.04 x 703 = 28
This person has a BMI of 28
BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = 30 or greater

Defending Our Liberty #79
September 1, 2013
The Catholic Church’s stand against the federal
health care mandate isn’t about access to contraception, which is widely available. It is about a
government regulation that is forcing the Church
to act against our moral principles, thereby, violating religious freedom.
To voice your opposition to the mandate, please
call the Capitol switchboard in Washington, D.C.
at 202-224-3121 and urge your Congressmen or
Congresswomen and/or U.S. Senators to support
legislation that will overturn the mandate. You
can also write to the White House at: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20500.

the left as you enter from the front steps. We post the
pictures and rank of relatives of our parish family members
and ask that you remember them in daily prayer. Since
there are many new deployments, please let us know if
there are any family members you would like posted...and
may God keep them safe.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as
they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless
acts they perform for us in our time of need. We ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.”
