What prompts you to make the decisions you make? When confronted with

a decision, whether one that is more trivial and mundane or one that is more

significant and profound, we rely on guidance. That guidance can be the

result of impulse and passion or the fruit of the interior voice of conscience.

Decisions made on impulse and passion can be misguided and erroneous.

Decisions based on conscience, or the moral voice within, will reflect the

depth and maturity of our soul work. A more contemplative soul will make

more contemplative decisions. A less developed conscience will make

decisions based on the individual’s level of development.�

Conversion and a change of heart are at the core of Jesus’ message precisely because of this reality. We are works in

progress. For the person on fire with the Holy Spirit and centered on God, life reflects an ever�deepening awareness

and heightened sense of God’s presence and a greater willingness to do God’s will. What is happening internally is

validated by what is witnessed externally. The hypocrite is the one who says yes when they really mean no. From the

start, they had no desire to do the virtuous act but wanted to outwardly appear as if they did.�

Where are you on the road of integrity? Honesty is all that is required. God is good with that. It is okay to struggle

with our decisions and wrestle with ourselves. Consciences on the path to maturity and greater depth are not always

going to know what action is immediately best. We may, at first, say no to what we know is right and, after prayerful

reflection and thought, come around to doing it. Conversion happens when our no changes to yes, regardless of how

sinful or out of sync we may be at the time. God is anxious to welcome us to Himself. But we cannot embrace Him

unless we want to. Learning to orient our gift of free will to what is of divine origin, right, and best is a discipline we

must always tweak and perfect. Source: LPi, Vibrant Church �

As we conclude our month focused on prayer, let us employ intercession, contrition, thanksgiving, and �

adoration as ways to communicate with God, forming encounters with Jesus and bringing love to our fellow man.�

Dear Lord, we worship and praise you. You are loving and tolerant, giving us an abundance of grace and mercy. �

Thank you for your patience as we find our way in this world and your openness to accept us when we turn to you. �

Let us remember that our actions speak louder than our words. Let us allow the Holy Spirit to work through us.�

Even if we might say the wrong thing or initially reject your call like the first son in today’s reading, �

let us embrace a full conversion. Please bless us with the strength to come to you with true appreciation, �

adoration, and openness. Help us to seek opportunities to work in the vineyard and nurture the �

good fruits of a life of service and compassion, following the example of Christ, your beloved Son. Amen.�

Resources for Mass�

With many still worshipping from home and limitations on in�hand

missalettes in the pews, we wanted to offer you options for

following along with readings and prayers during mass:�

�� Find the Weekly Readings section in this bulletin each week�

�� Access all weekly and daily readings at bible.usccb.org�

�� Watch Livestream Mass at any of the following sites:�

stmarynh.org | stmichaelparish.org (Recordings available.)�

EWTN, Word On Fire, CatholicTV, St. Patrick‘s Cathedral�

�� Make an Act of Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that You

are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this

moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my

heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself

wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.�

Whether in�person or remote, we are grateful that you are still a

part of our community. Thank you for praying with us!�

Nurse’s Note�

As we mark six months into the Coronavirus

pandemic, we must continue to be diligent

and persistent with our protective factors of

hand washing / sanitizing, mask wearing, and

maintaining social distancing practices. Avoiding large crowds

and gatherings also continues to be a necessary practice.�

In order for masks to be protective for others and ourselves,

the mask must cover both the mouth and nose.�

On another note, please be aware that as we transition into

the autumn season, mosquito and tick�borne illnesses continue

to be a potential health threat when spending time outdoors

until we have a hard frost.�

Please call or email with any concerns or questions. Stay well!�
