IGNITE FAITH AND WITNESS GOD'S LOVE • ENCENDIENDO LA FE Y DANDO TESTIMONIO DEL AMOR DEL DIOS!
Gospel: Matthew 16:21-27 Jesus began to show his disciples
that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,
"God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter,
"Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world
and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life?
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay all according to his conduct."

Activities and Events
Three Minute Liturgical Catechesis Article 10: Who's the Most Important?
Have you ever wondered why we sit for the first two readings at Mass but stand for the Gospel? This is one of several ways that the liturgy indicates the special significance of the portion of the Bible that is found in the four Gospels. We believe, of course, that Christ speaks to us in all the readings. Because he is the Word of God made flesh, whatever God says to us comes to us through Christ. Yet there is still something special about those four books that give us most of our information about Jesus himself. The Gospels reveal him to us, recounting his teaching and his miracles, his journeys and his encounters with people of his time, his death and his resurrection. It is in the four Gospels that we find the fullest picture of Jesus and his meaning for our lives. There are several ways that the liturgy reminds us of the preemi-nence of the Gospels. Before the Gospel is proclaimed, the deacon or priest expresses the hope that the Lord will be with us, and we respond in kind. This reminds us that the Lord is present in the Gos-pel in a special way. On special occasions, the minister will also in-cense the Lectionary or the Gospel Book to express our reverence for Christ. Many parishes use a special Book of the Gospels for this proclama-tion. Though this is not required, it is encouraged in the official docu-ments from Rome. The Gospel Book is carried in procession at the beginning of Mass and commonly placed on the altar until the time to proclaim the Gospel reading. The main expression of the Gospel's importance, however, is the Gospel procession after the second reading. Following our shared silence after that reading, we all stand and sing the Gospel acclama-tion. That music is designed to accompany the procession of the deacon or priest to the ambo for the proclamation of the Gospel. Asking for the grace to proclaim the Gospel well, the deacon receives a blessing from the priest (or if the priest will proclaim the Gospel, he bows briefly in prayer). If there is a separate Gospel Book, he carries that in procession, raising it high for all to see and acknowledge. He may be accompanied by servers with candles and with incense if that is being used. As the procession forms and moves, the whole assem-bly acclaims Christ and welcomes him in his word by singing the Alleluias (or another acclamation during Lent). All of this is intended to open our minds and hearts in a special way to the words of the Gospel. It clearly indicates that something im-portant is about to happen and that we should all be fully attentive. Of course, hearing the Gospel is only the first step. Once we have heard the words, then we have to figure out how to live them. Through the Gospel, Christ challenges us to imitate him and to walk in his ways. That's why the liturgy treats it with such solemnity and reverence.
Catequesis Litúrgica en Tres Minutos Artículo #10: ¿Quién es el más Importante?
¿Te has preguntado por qué nos sentamos durante las dos primeras lecturas de la Misa pero permanecemos de pie durante la lectura del Evangelio? Esta es una de las muchas formas en que la Liturgia indi-ca la especial importancia de aquella porción de la Biblia que se encuentra en los cuatro Evangelios. Creemos, por supuesto, que Cristo nos habla en todas las lecturas. Puesto que él es la Palabra de Dios hecha carne, cualquier palabra dicha por Dios nos llega por medio de Cristo. Sin embargo, hay algo especial en esos cuatro libros que nos ofrecen la gran parte de lo que sabemos acerca de Jesús. Los Evangelios nos lo revelan, relatando sus enseñanzas y sus milagros, sus viajes y sus encuentros con la gente de su tiempo, su muerte y su resurrección. Es en los cuatro Evangelios donde encontramos el cuadro más completo de Jesús y su significado para nuestras vidas. La Liturgia nos recuerda de varias maneras esa preeminencia de los Evangelios. Antes de proclamar el Evangelio, el diácono o el sacer-dote expresan la esperanza de que el Señor esté con nosotros y re-spondemos de igual manera. Así nos acordamos de que el Señor está presente en el Evangelio de un modo especial. En ocasiones especiales, el ministro también incensará el leccionario o el libro de los evangelios para expresar nuestra reverencia por Cristo. Muchas parroquias utilizan una edición especial del Libro de los Evangelios para su proclamación, y aunque no es obligatorio, los documentos de Roma así lo sugieren. El Libro de los Evangelios se lleva en procesión al comienzo de la Misa y comúnmente se coloca sobre el altar hasta el momento de proclamar la lectura del Evangelio . Sin embargo, la principal expresión de la importancia del Evangelio es la procesión del Libro de los Evangelios después de la segunda lectura. Después de guardar silencio luego de esa lectura, nos ponemos de pie y cantamos la aclamación del Evangelio. Esa música es la designada para acompañar la procesión del diácono o del sac-erdote al ambón para la proclamación del Evangelio. Luego de pedir la gracia para proclamar bien el Evangelio, el diácono recibe una bendición del sacerdote (o si el sacerdote proclama el Evangelio, se inclina brevemente en oración). Si hay un Libro de los Evangelios aparte, el celebrante lo carga en procesión, llevándolo en alto para que todos lo vean y reconozcan. Puede que esté acompañado por los monaguillos que portan cirios e incienso, si fuera el caso. Mientras la procesión se forma y se desarrolla, toda la asamblea aclama a Cristo y le da la bienvenida en su palabra al cantar las Aleluyas (u otra aclamación durante la Cuaresma). El fin es abrir nuestra mente y corazón de un modo especial para recibir las palabras del Evangelio. Claramente se indica que algo importante está a punto de ocurrir y que debemos prestar completa atención. Sin embargo, escuchar el Evangelio es sólo el primer paso. Una vez que hemos escuchado las palabras, entonces debemos determinar cómo las vamos a vivir. Es por medio del Evangelio que Cristo nos reta a imitarle y a seguir su camino. Es por eso que la litur-gia lo trata con tanta solemnidad y reverencia.

Financial Peace University
Financial Peace University (FPU) classes begin the week of September 11. Registration is open to sign-up (http://tinyurl.com/ydhp5z8p). It’s first come, first serve on sign-ups. Classes are limited to 20 people. Even if you indicated an inter-est after Mass a couple of weeks ago, you now need to com-plete the registration process by signing up for the day and time you will attend. Classes are being offered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings and Sunday late afternoon be-fore the 6PM Mass.
So you may wonder, “why is St. Louise offering FPU clas-ses?” The answer is really quite straightforward. God has a plan for us, even our relationship with money. This 9-week course helps couples better understand that plan and how to build it into their method of handling finances. There are lots of statistics about Americans’ level of debt and the trouble people have in making wise decisions about how to save and spend their money. This course teaches biblically sound princi-ples and provides very clear steps on how to reach your goals of financial freedom. Like any material, you have to practice, to understand and apply it. FPU connects to our parish’s strategic plan through our application of the “treasure” part of the stew-ardship triad (Time, Talent & Treasure).
One of our recent graduates is on track to be debt - free by 2018. That’s quite an accomplishment for a 9 week course. It shows that when we work with God’s plan, nothing is impossi-ble.

One very rainy Friday afternoon, a grandmother and the two preschool aged children who lived with her in a small RV came in seeking food assistance. We gave them two bags of nonper-ishables and a grocery card to purchase fresh milk, meat and produce. The woman was grateful to also receive directions to the New Bethlehem Center where she and the children could shower, do laundry, get assistance in finding housing from a caseworker and simply share a meal and play!

Stewardship Reflection
September 3, 2017 - 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” - Matthew 16:26 St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else.” We often forget this stewardship wisdom when we spend all of our time, talent and treasure to gain more of the world’s riches. We need to set our priorities based on God’s values and not the values of the material world.

La misa será multilingüe con oraciones, lecturas y música en tamil, inglés, español y mucho más. Al terminar tendremos una deliciosa cena cortesía de la comunidad católica indú.
