Tradition is long human memory set, not in stone, but in human interaction. Without this active memory, the bonds
of relationship and affection fray and fall apart. Communities dissolve as surely as neglected buildings do. After participating in events, celebrations, and even small rituals, we remark about how good it is to gather and remember.
Today’s readings remind us of foundations laid deeper than the human will to relate. Today we hear about God’s
will to relate to us—to be our God as we are called to be God’s own beloved people.
Today in three readings and three ways we remember the covenant bonds that create us as a people and the obligation and responsibility that express the innermost attitude of soul. You are mine. I am yours. These are God’s words
that created a people as surely as “Let there be light” created the sun and moon and all the stars.

“Every worthwhile gift, every genuine
benefit, comes from above,” says St. James in
the second reading. But, he reminds us, true
worship of God involves using those good
gifts to benefit the less fortunate. Good
stewardship is not optional; it is the hallmark of our faith!

ADULT FAITH AFFIRMATION
“Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained” - We may be familiar with different
aspects of our Catholic faith...but how does it all fit together? What difference does
it make for daily lives and how can we explain it to others? This presentation is a
stunning new video series that systematically presents the BIG picture of the Catholic Faith.
The series contains two parts including ten episodes each. In Part 1, “Knowing the Faith,” we journey
through the core teachings of the Catholic Church traced out in the Creed and Catechism. In Part 2, “Living
the Faith,” we focus on our encounter with God in the sacraments and the moral life. Part 1 will be offered
at three different times each week beginning Sept. 13 and continuing for 10 weeks. Part 2 will be offered on
the same schedule in the Spring. Sun., 9:45-11:15 a.m., Mon., 9:00-11:00 a.m., Wed., 6:00-8:00 p.m.
“The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy” - Each week, you will come to know a
prophet from Scripture and learn how his message sheds light on our faith and our lives.
In getting to know these messengers of God, you will read Scripture and the Catechism,
while answering thought-provoking questions and reading powerful reflections. Plus,
you will learn practical ways to apply the messages of the prophets in your own life. “The Prophets” places
the Old Testament prophets in context of salvation history, making their personalities and contexts easy to
follow, understand, and relate to our lives.
“The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy” will be offered twice a week beginning Sept. 14 and
continuing for 10 Weeks. Mon. 9:00-11:00 a.m. and Wed. 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Vigésimo Segundo Second del Tiempo Ordinario
Hoy Santiago nos hace un recordatorio: “Acepten dócilmente la palabra que ha sido sembrada en ustedes y es capaz de salvarlos”.
Y después nos dice que pongamos “en práctica esa palabra”. ¿Qué significa poner en práctica la palabra? Tal vez se nos llame a
poner más atención cuando las Escrituras son proclamadas. Muy a menudo la palabra sagrada nos pasa por al lado sin dejar ninguna
impresión en nosotros. Es necesario concebir la esperanza de que la Palabra de Dios va a tener un impacto en nosotros semana tras
semana cuando nos reunimos en este santo recinto. La Palabra de Dios tiene la fuerza de transformarnos, de transformar nuestras
actitudes y acciones, para llegar a ser personas que irradien a Cristo, la Palabra eterna del Padre. Al proclamarse la Palabra de Dios
hoy oremos para que seamos capaces de honrar a Dios con un corazón transformado y un espíritu enaltecido por esa palabra.
