INTENTIONS OF THE HOLY FATHER FOR SEPTEMBER

For People Living on the Margins

PRAYER INTENTION FOR THE WEEK

That those who have abandoned the faith may be inspired to return by our example

A Sunday Reflection

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

HE WENT OUT AGAIN… (MT 20:5).

The image of the landowner going out over and over again should evoke in us the persistence of God’s infinite mercy. He keeps coming back throughout the day. And we wonder, if by 5 o’clock he is still finding laborers standing idle, it must be because they stayed home all day doing nothing, or were not willing to work. Yet, the landowner—God—keeps calling: “You too go into my vineyard” (Mt 20:7). When finally there is nowhere to hide, the day is almost spent and they don’t have to bear the heat, they go.

The beauty of the parable lies in the fact that the landowner chooses to give the same pay to all, whether they labored for an hour or for eight. We can sympathize with the complaint of the early laborers; working under the sun all day, they think that they should get more. But that is not what was agreed, and so the master reminds them: “What if I wish to give this last one the same as you?” (20:14).

This parable should bring comfort to those who suffer because someone near to them has abandoned the faith. The good Lord insists in calling, and when we finally answer, he gives us all the same pay: life everlasting. As we praise His mercy, let us persevere in prayer for those souls who are hiding from the loving Father who seeks them. God bless you.

The Rosary is a powerful devotion encouraged by various Popes and enriched with many indulgences. Following our Blessed Mother’s request, the Holy Father has asked that we pray the Rosary for peace in the world. Join us as we pray the Rosary every morning at 7:30 a.m.

DID YOU KNOW?…

Feasts honor a mystery or title of Jesus, Our Lady or some relevant saints, such as the apostles, the evangelists and other of great historical importance such as St. Lawrence.

Feasts have proper prayers, but only two readings. The Gloria is recited. As opposed to other feasts, those dedicated to Jesus —such
as the Transfiguration and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross— are celebrated even when they fall on a Sunday. In that case, they have three readings, plus the Gloria and the Creed.

Pope Benedict XVI speaks about… FAITH

(CATECHESIS, WEDNESDAY GENERAL AUDIENCE, OCTOBER, 2012—FEBRUARY, 2013.)
THE YEAR OF FAITH. WHAT IS FAITH? (2)
OCTOBER 24, 2012

Faith is believing in this love of God that is never lacking in the face of human wickedness, in the face of evil and death, but is capable of transforming every kind of slavery, giving us the possibility of salvation…. And this possibility of salvation through faith is a gift that God offers all men and women. I think we should meditate more often … on the fact that believing in a Christian manner means my trusting abandonment to the profound meaning that sustains me and the world, that meaning that we are unable to give to each other but can only receive as a gift, and that is the foundation on which we can live without fear.
