Today we ponder how to balance our call to discipleship with our culture s call to accumulate wealth and material things. We hear that God is aware of both greed and the needs of the poor. Discipleship challenges us to be prudent, wise, focused and balanced in our interaction with money. It s not easy. Keeping our eyes on the final prize is what really matters. Coming soon to Holy Family Parish! Calling all teens ages to participate in an exciting opportunity to grow in faith & deepen their relationship with God. Each Life Teen session will include music for worship, energizing & fun activities, teachings on living out our Catholic faith in daily life, and time for socializing and food! We are looking for adult volunteers to help in a variety of ways (planning, food, music, facilitating activities, etc.). If you feel called to help make this ministry a success, feel free to reach out to the Life Teen Lowell Coordinators, Amanda & Rodrigo Sousa (cell) amandaandrodrigosousa@gmail.com Thank you and God bless! Let us pray now for all our brothers and sisters, regardless of their worldly possessions. For the church: that it may inspire and guide us in our wise use of worldly goods we pray, For the poor, the homeless, the starving, the marginalized and forgotten; for all who struggle with daily life we pray, For the ability to commit fully to our calling to discipleship we pray, For hearts that are forgiving toward those who cheat us or treat us dishonestly we pray, For the ability to forego things we do not need and use our money wisely we pray, For children and youth struggling with dishonesty or coveting what they cannot have we pray, For the attention of our political candidates to the needs of the poor and disenfranchised we pray, For those among us struggling with money; for the sick and dying; and for those who have died we pray, Prayer: God who knows our hearts, you call us to remember the needs of the poor at all times. Help us as we struggle with the challenges of living in a society that values money and success. Make us wise and prudent, so that we can be faithful to our commitment to follow Jesus. We pray in his holy name. Amen. << Love stirs itself from sorrow; and love itself is in equal measure lanced with sorrow. Out of great love great sorrow is extorted. Who loves greatly, sorrows greatly when what was loved is taken away. ~St. Lawrence of Brindisi >> lwc

5 Quem é fiel nas pequenas coisas também é fiel nas grandes, e quem é injusto nas pequenas também é injusto nas grandes. 25º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): Am 8,4-7; Sl 112(113); 1Tm 2,1-8; Lc 16,1-13. Quando lemos este evangelho, a primeira coisa que queremos entender é se o Senhor está elogiando a fraude do administrador e, se for assim, como é que isso combina com a mensagem evangélica do reino. A intenção do Senhor em contar a parábola é evitar que a vida de fé dos seus discípulos os filhos da luz - transforme-se em uma espécie de paliativo que os acomode e os torne tranqüilos. A parábola é contada aos discípulos para tirá-los da inércia e atender as exigências da hora presente. O elogio é feito ao administrador não pela fraude em si, mas pela esperteza diante da situação crítica em que se encontrava. Jesus pede que o imitemos não na sua injustiça, mas na sua previdência e visão ampla. O discipulado é um caminho exigente que pede uma perspicácia e uma sabedoria para unir, constantemente, o caminho do evangelho e o cotidiano, de modo que as nossas relações sejam tomadas totalmente pela proposta do Senhor. Não há aqui espaço para a mediocridade e a superficialidade. A radicalidade do seguimento nos leva a estabelecer hierarquia de valores e escolhas de acordo com o evangelho e o Senhor do evangelho. Num mundo em que se investe uma imensidade de energia para o êxito dos negócios, esse evangelho chama a atenção para a criatividade que é preciso desenvolver no serviço do reino. Temos consciência que a força criativa que move a Igreja é obra do Espírito de Deus. Vamos à celebração para receber dele a luz e a energia, para colocarmos o melhor de nós a serviço da missão que ele nos confia. (Extraído do Dia do Senhor) Oração Ó Deus, luz que não se apaga, tu entregaste a nós o mandamento de te amar e amar o nosso próximo. Dá-nos a graça de cumpri-los e viver na plenitude de tua vida. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém. Pe. Jonas D. Christal ( LEITURAS DA SEMANA: 2a feira: Esd 1,1-6; Sl 125(126); Lc 8, a feira: Esd 6,7-8.12b.14-20; Sl 121(122); Lc 8, a feira: Esd 9,5-9; Cânt.: Tb 13,2. 3-4a. 4bcd. 5. 8; Lc 9,1-6. 5a feira: Ag 1,1-8; Sl 149; Lc 9,7-9. 6a feira: Ag 1,15b 2, 9; Sl 42(43); Lc 9, Sábado: Dn 7, ou Ap 12,7-12a; Sl 137(138); Jo 1, o DTC: Am 6,1a.4-7; Sl 145(146); 1Tm 6,11-16; Lc 16,19-31.

6 Cardinal Sean O'Malley was very excited to announce in his September 2nd blog post that the Capuchin Friars who run the Shrine of St. Padre Pio have offered to come to Boston with the heart of Padre Pio for his feast day this year "This is the first time any major relic of Padre Pio has left Italy, and we are so pleased that they have offered to come to Boston for this historic visit.
