23RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR
What is really important to us?
Are we willing and able to pay the
price our deeper values demand?
The first reading reminds us that
the world is more than the
material. Material possessions
are not to be the defining things
of our existence. Jesus goes so far
as to say that we should
renounce our possessions.. Jesus
invites us to a freedom from all
that. In other words, we are
called to renounce materialism
and keep our values in
perspective.
Jesus goes so far as to say that we should even renounce
members of our family. One way to think of this strange
command is to see it an invitation to freedom – as an
invitation or radical challenge not to see any person as a
possession – as a person that we own. Unless parents let
go of their children, there can be no healthy adult
relationship. Unless we treat each other as adults, filled
with the dignity and freedom that comes from God, we
cannot really be Christian brothers and sisters. No person
can be the possession of another. No person’s value is
found in what they own or control or possess. No one is
to be a slave to things. Rather we are all called to be free.
CONFIRMATION
REGISTRATION & ORIENTATION
XXIII DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO
Voler essere discepoli del Cristo
significa avere scelto e deciso di
seguirlo, significa avere scelto
Cristo come unico punto di
riferimento della e nella nostra
vita.
Lo seguiamo perché lo amiamo e
perché abbiamo fondato su di lui, e
solo su di lui, il nostro progetto di
vita.
Vivremo,
nonostante
tutto,
infedeltà ed errori quotidiani, ma
non saranno questi a troncare la
nostra sequela se sapremo
accettarli e viverli come limite e
quindi come parte della croce che ogni giorno ci è chiesto
di portare. Una croce fatta di grandi e piccole sofferenze
e miserie, ma è proprio l’adesione alla “nostra” croce la
via per divenire e rimanere suoi discepoli. La Chiesa, oggi
e sempre, è costruita da chi ha il coraggio di affidarsi
soltanto a Dio e seguire Gesù con totale abbandono e
senza nessun compromesso.

September 5 – St. Teresa
St.
Teresa
of
Calcutta,
you
allowed the thirsting
love of Jesus on the
Cross to become a
living flame within
you, and so became
the light of His love
to all. Obtain from
the Heart of Jesus
(here make your
request). Teach me
to allow Jesus to
penetrate
and
possess my whole
being so completely
that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to
others.
Amen.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, pray for me.
Madre Teresa degli ultimi! Il tuo passo veloce è andato
sempre
verso i più deboli e i più abbandonati per contestare in
silenzio coloro che sono ricchi di potere e di egoismo:
l'acqua dell'ultima cena
è passata nelle tue mani
instancabili indicando a tutti coraggiosamente la strada
della vera grandezza.
Madre Teresa di Gesù! tu hai sentito il grido di Gesù nel
grido degli affamati del mondo e hai curato il corpo di
cristo nel corpo piagato dei lebbrosi.
Madre Teresa, prega affinchè diventiamo umili e puri di
cuore come Maria per accogliere nel nostro cuore
l'amore che rende felici. Amen
-------------------------------September 8—Nativity of our Blessed Virgin Mary
Questa celebrazione, che ricalca sul
Cristo le prerogative della Madre, è
stata introdotta dal papa Sergio I
(sec VII) nel solco della tradizione
orientale. La natività della Vergine è
strettamente legata alla venuta del
Messia,
come
promessa,
preparazione e frutto della salvezza.
Aurora che precede il sole di
giustizia, Maria preannunzia a tutto
il mondo la gioia del Salvatore.
(Mess. Rom.)
This celebration, which follows on the
prerogatives of the Mother of Christ,
was introduced by Pope Sergius I (VII century) in the tradition of
Eastern Europe. The Nativity of the Virgin is closely linked to the
coming of the Messiah, as promised, preparation and fruit of
salvation. Aurora before the sun of justice, Mary foretells to the
world the joy of the Savior. (Mess. Rom.)
