If you have a registered parishioner to add to our
prayer list, please contact the executive assistant in the
parish office. Please let us know when it is time to
remove a name from the list. Please inscribe the
names of non-parishioners (e.g. family members,
friends, neighbors, co-workers) in the prayer intention
book found in the church vestibule. Please inscribe
their name only once as their needs will be
remembered at Masses throughout the year.
If you are hospitalized or homebound and would like
to receive Communion, please call Pat & Gary Boylan
at 941-204-7837.
You may also contact someone from the Eucharistic
Apostles of Divine Mercy who will pray the Chaplet of
Divine Mercy or other prayers with you. Please call
Lillian Pente at 843-705-7170.
Our English word hypocrite comes from a Greek
word that is pronounced almost the same. The Greeks
often used the word to describe acting, but its root
meaning is closer to this: “One who pretends or acts
under a mask.” We might describe such a person as
“two-faced.” There are several places in the gospels
where Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites because
they say one thing and do another. Their actions
appear to be part of a show so that others will think that
they are good and holy.
Jesus cuts to the heart of
the matter when he points
out that clinging to the letter
of the law is not what
makes
someone
holy.
Rather, it is the person with
a pure heart free of greed,
malice, envy, and evil of all
kinds who is closer to God.
Jesus has the Old Testament Scriptures on his side.
Psalm 15 lays out a wonderful description of the ones
who will dwell with God forever in heaven. First and
foremost, they are not hypocrites. Rather, they have
integrity of heart and speak the truth (15:2). They
“never defame a neighbor” (15:3). They practice
what they preach and do it for the greater glory of God.
We all have moments when we act better (or
sometimes worse) than we are because we want to
appear differently to others. The challenge for us today
is to be genuine, to let the love of God become the
model for how we love. Then we will have no need to
worry about whether we are following the law. Our own
actions will tell us so.

St. Gregory the Great Adoration Society
“Would you not spend one hour with Me?”
Eucharistic Adoration is adoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ
Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel gives us an opportunity to spend an hour of prayer and give thanks for the
many blessings we have received. This hour in peace and meditation with the Blessed Sacrament can also be an
opportunity to pray for our friends and family who are sick or just need our prayers. Christ instituted this Holy
Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain with mankind until the end of time (Jn. 14:18).
Our wish is to have someone present for each of the 24 hours throughout the day in silent contemplation and
reflection. We can use more adorers for this ministry. Please be generous with your time and sign up for one
hour of adoration.
If you have any questions or feel you can sign up for just one hour per week please call John Klinger 757-7454
or send an email to [email protected].
ADORACIÓN
VIGÉSIMO SEGUNDO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
TRADICIÓN
La tradición es la memoria humana a largo plazo, mantenida no en piedra sino en la
interrelación humana. Sin esta memoria activa, los lazos de relaciones y de afecto se
debilitan y se deshacen. Las comunidades se separan tan de seguro como caen los
edificios abandonados. Después de participar en acontecimientos, celebraciones y hasta
en pequeños ritos, comentamos lo bueno que es el reunirnos y recordar.
Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan aquellos fundamentos que van más hondo que la voluntad humana para
relacionarse. Hoy escuchamos sobre la voluntad divina de relacionarse con nosotros —de ser nuestro Dios tal
como nosotros somos llamados a ser el pueblo amado de Dios.
Hoy recordamos en tres lecturas y de tres maneras los lazos de la alianza que nos establece como pueblo, y
las obligaciones y responsabilidades que expresan lo más hondo del alma. Tú eres mío. Yo soy tuya. Estas son
palabras de Dios que crearon a un pueblo, tan seguramente como “Hágase la luz” creó el sol y la luna y todas las
estrellas.

LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Moisés
ordena al pueblo guardar los
mandamientos de Yavé porque
así serán conocidos como
pueblo sabio e inteligente
(Deuteronomio 4:1-2, 6-8).
Salmo — ¿Quién será grato a tus ojos, Señor?
(Salmo 15 [14]).
Segunda lectura — Reciban la palabra sembrada
entre ustedes, y pongan por obra lo que dice la palabra
y no se conformen con oírla (Santiago 1:17-18, 21b-22,
27).
Evangelio — Lo que nos hace impuros son las
maldades que salen de dentro, de nuestro propio
corazón, no las cosas de afuera (Marcos 7:1-8, 14-15,
21-23).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Pobres fariseos, cómo les echamos piedras.
Durante el ministerio público de Jesús los fariseos no
tenían mucho poder, pues la clase sacerdotal era la
que dominaba la vida religiosa de los hebreos. Los
fariseos eran gente común: eran laicos. No obstante,
estos laicos no se conformaban con sólo cumplir el
requisito de la oración y asistir a la sinagoga. Los
fariseos pueden compararse con los carismáticos,
ministros de la comunión y otros cristianos laicos que
no se conforman sólo con asistir a la misa cada
semana. Los fariseos también deseaban aprender
más acerca de la Palabra de Dios y practicar su fe en
todas partes. Probablemente, Jesús mismo, en algún
momento perteneció al grupo de los fariseos.
Entonces ¿de dónde viene el pleito cristiano con
los fariseos? Con la destrucción del Templo judío
(año 70 d.C.) se acabó la clase sacerdotal. Cuando
se escribieron los cuatro evangelios, quienes estaban
al frente de la religión hebrea eran los fariseos, no los
sacerdotes. Ellos, en su afán de preservar la fe judía,
no permitían novedades como las de los judíos
cristianos. Por esto se creó una división entre los
fariseos y los cristianos, división que aparece en los
evangelios una y otra vez.

LA MADUREZ
Comienza a manifestarse la madurez
cuando sentimos que nuestra preocupación es
mayor por los demás que por nosotros.

Adult Education Workshop
Presented
By
Deacon Denny Burkett
Saturday, September 26, 2015
9:30 a.m.—11:30 a.m.
St. Gregory the Great Catholic School Library
Communication:
It’s more complicated than just talking
and listening
From creation, God gave both man and woman a means
by which they could communicate with each other. We
know from the story of Adam and Eve that they didn’t
master this gift very well.
How well do we communicate with others?
Whether it’s within our marriage, our family, our place of
employment, it seems we all could do better.
In this session, we will examine the issues of why we have
difficulties when it comes to sharing our thoughts and
emotions with others, especially with loved ones.
We don’t have to go through life feeling that no one listens
to us or understands us; that no one cares about us. We
all have the ability to be both good talkers and good
listeners. In doing so, we can make a difference in the
world and be the person God created us to be.
Please call the Parish Office to register 843-815-3100.

VIDA PARROQUIAL
VIRGEN PEREGRINA
La imagen de Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe
ha
iniciado
una
peregrinación por los hogares de
la comunidad parroquial de Saint
Gregory the Great. En este
peregrinar
se
promueve
el
fortalecimiento de la oración en
familia y además se motiva a que
juntos en familia oremos por las vocaciones en el
mundo. En la semana comprendida entre el 16 y 23 de
Agosto, la imagen de Nuestra Señora estuvo con la
Familia Solano. Si usted desea que la imagen de
Nuestra Señora les acompañe por una semana, por
favor llame a la oficina del Ministerio Hispano.
843-815-3100 Ext. 234.
EN EL PRINCIPIO …(SEMANA 24)
De Chris:.. "Tengo pelo por todo mi cuerpo
que está ahí para proteger mi piel Voy a
perder todo este pelo del cuerpo antes de
que yo nazca soy un poco delgado en este momento,
pero estoy poniendo más grasa. Soy casi 12 pulgadas
de largo ".
Hace cincuenta años, si el bebé nacia a esta edad, el
niño no podría haber sobrevivido. Hoy en día, con la
tecnología moderna, los bebés que nacen en la edad de
Chris tienen una oportunidad de luchar
(aproximadamente 50%) de la supervivencia.
"Incluso los cabellos de vuestra cabeza están contados.
Así que no tenga miedo." Mateo 10: 30-31
Oración Adopción Espiritual
Jesús, María y José, los quiero mucho. Les ruego que
perdonen la vida del feto que he adoptado
espiritualmente que está en peligro de aborto. Amén.

In the Beginning …
Week 24
From Chris: "I have fine hair all over my
body that is there to protect my skin. I
will lose all this body hair before I am born. I'm a
little thin at this point but am putting on more baby
fat. I am almost 12 whole inches long."
Fifty years ago, if the baby was born at this age,
the child could not have survived. Today, with
modern technology, babies born at Chris's age
have a fighting chance (about 50%) of survival.
"Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do
not be afraid." Matthew 10:30-31
Spiritual Adoption Prayer
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I
beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby I have
spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.
Amen.
