                                       Let Us Celebrate

 W             elcome! We are glad you are here to join us in worship in the celebration of the Eucharist
               (Mass). At the Eucharist, the Church comes together to hear the Word of the Lord, to pray for
               the world's needs, to offer the sacrifice of the Cross in praise and thanks to God, to receive
 Christ Jesus in communion, and then to be sent forth in the Spirit as disciples of the Gospel. If you are not
 familiar with the Mass, the Order of the Mass can be found on pages 3-29 of the Breaking Bread hymnal.
 We call particular attention to the text of the Gloria and the Nicene Creed located on the inside cover. The
 scripture (Bible) readings for today's Mass can be found on pages 211.

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Kids have been back in class now for a month or more and many schools are holding Parent Nights. It is a
chance for teachers to explain what the students will be learning, and to share information about special
projects or requirements that parents need to know about. The principal might talk about new changes in
the curriculum or construction or upgrade plans that are new. It is a hope-filled, exciting time.
No matter how skilled the teacher may be, or how impressive the course of study, a child still learns more
at home than in school. Schools can teach values, but at home they must be lived. Schools can stress the
way to success, but at home it must be planned and encouraged. Schools can demand excellence, but it
must be nurtured and nourished at home. Schools can offer awards and recognition for a job well done,
but it can only be confirmed by family and friends.
Faith is the same way, because faith is more caught than taught. The church can teach it, but families must
live it. The church can stress the way to heaven, but families must show it. The church can demand
excellence in service and worship, but families must practice it. It is good example and family practice that
makes the difference. Let’s strive for top grades this year. Let’s teach what we practice and practice what
we teach.                                    ~James Gaffney, © 2009 Karides Lic. to St. George Publishing
