TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The Lord nev-er forgets the sins of those who take advantage of the poor (Amos 8:4-7). Psalm — Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor (Psalm 113). Second Reading — God our savior wills everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2:1-8). Gospel — The one who is trust-worthy in small matters is also trustworthy in great ones (Luke 16:1-13 [10-13]).

LOST AND FOUND Two of today’s readings make it quite clear that God is on the side of the poor. Amos de-scribes in detail the exploitation of the poor and needy. The psalm repeats that God acts to benefit the poor and lowly. But Luke turns things upside down, telling a tale of a conflicted steward, about to be fired, who demonstrates his cleverness and is rewarded. Like the community to whom Paul writes in Timothy, these readings are personal, directed to believers, members of the Jewish and Christian communities, who struggle to deal with personal choices about how to conduct their lives. They offer an outline for how God wishes us to live in a world as complicated and as con-fusing as our own. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Saint Pio of Pietrelcina May 25, 1887 – September 23, 1968 In one of the largest such ceremonies in history, Pope John Paul II canonized Padre Pio of Pietrelcina on June 16, 2002. It was the 45th canonization ceremony in Pope John Paul’s pontificate. More than 300,000 people braved blistering heat as they filled St. Peter’s Square and nearby streets. They heard the Holy Father praise the new saint for his prayer and charity. “This is the most concrete synthesis of Padre Pio’s teaching,” said the pope. He also stressed Padre Pio’s witness to the power of suffering. If accepted with love, the Holy Father stressed, such suffering can lead to “a privileged path of sanctity.” Many people have turned to the Italian Capuchin Franciscan to intercede with God on their behalf; among them was the future Pope John Paul II. In 1962, when

he was still an archbishop in Poland, he wrote to Padre Pio and asked him to pray for a Polish woman with throat cancer. Within two weeks, she had been cured of her life-threatening disease. Born Francesco Forgione, Padre Pio grew up in a family of farmers in southern Italy. Twice his father worked in Jamaica, New York, to provide the family income. At the age of 15, Francesco joined the Capuchins and took the name of Pio. He was ordained in 1910 and was drafted during World War I. After he was discovered to have tuberculosis, he was discharged. In 1917, he was assigned to the friary in San Giovanni Rotondo, 75 miles from the city of Bari on the Adriatic. On September 20, 1918, as he was making his thanksgiving after Mass, Padre Pio had a vision of Jesus. When the vision ended, he had the stigmata in his hands, feet, and side.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although June is the month most associated with weddings in the United States, September has become more popular in recent years. Wedding celebra ons always require some savvy planning, and people who have a talent for hospitality in the mix. At the wedding feast at Cana, the mother of Jesus was recruited to deal with some of the details of the banquet, and when a very understandable crisis arose, she did what she could to rescue the party. Anyone who has ever run out of ice, dessert, or table se ngs knows the stress! Slowly, the memory of Jesus Christ’s blessing of this marriage feast led the Church to form a way to bless marriages. A thousand years ago weddings migrated from the family home to the doors of the church, where the celebra on was held in public view. From this prac ce came a prayer called the “Nup al Blessing,” one of the most solemn prayers in our tradi on. It is very much like the prayers by which bap smal water and chrism are consecrated, the ordina on prayer over a priest, and the Eucharis c Prayers over bread and wine. Four hundred fi y years ago, weddings moved inside the church building. All of this gives married couples good reason to celebrate their anniversaries well, especially with the clinking of glasses filled with good wine. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Formed Pick of the Week The seventy-three books of the Bible come together to tell the story of God's saving plan. But is it merely an ancient document or collection of fables? Why do Catholics believe it is “inspired”—and what does “inspired” mean?

In this session, we'll look at the Bible as an encounter in which the God who speaks to us as a Father lovingly speaks to his children.

From the Bishop: “October Count” “The Diocese has involved itself in a common pastoral practice across the United States known as the ‘October Count.’ The month of October is selected because several statistics indicate that it represents one of the best months to count individuals who attend each weekend Mass at a parish for that month. This is a practical tool for pastoral planning for our parishes throughout the Diocese and I would be grateful for your participation again this year.” Protecting God’s Children workshops The Catholic Church in the United States is committed to providing safe environments in all of our ministries and activities, especially those involving children and youth.
