Scripture Corner:

First Reading: Exodus 32:7-11, 13-14 God became very angry with the Israelites for wor-shiping a molten calf and making sacrifices to it. The people had so quickly violated his commandments that he planned to destroy them. But Moses pleaded with God for mercy and God relented.

Second Reading: 1 Timothy 1:12-17 Paul considered himself a former blasphemer and persecutor, and expressed his gratitude for the mercy Jesus showed him. Paul felt that he was a perfect ex-ample of Jesus' patience toward sinners and his de-sire to reconcile them with God.

Gospel: Luke 15:1-32 The Pharisees grew angry because of the Jesus' com-passion toward sinners. In response, Jesus tells of a son who squandered his inheritance, then returned to his father and asked to be treated as a hired hand. The father rejoiced, angering his older and more obedient son. The father explained that everything he owned belonged to his older son; but he had to re-joice for the son who was lost and had been found.

On September 21st, the Class of 1959 of

St. Mary’s High School will be attending a special

60th Anniversary Mass here at 11am.

For details call Lavelle at 203-622-4457.
