The family of faith can never turn a blind eye to the socioeconomic inequalities of those who are suffering among us. If we belong to Christ, we must always express a special concern for the marginalized. Expressing concern places our faith into practice as the epistle of James reminds us, “Faith without works is dead.”

Bishop Vasquez’ Interview
In this month’s Catholic Spirit, Bishop Vasquez is interviewed regarding the recent sex scandal.  I am hoping all will get a chance to read this candid interview. Bishop Vasquez: “At this point of tremendous pain and suffering in our church, my prayer is that all victims of abuse may be consoled and wrapped in the loving arms of Christ.  May we hold the leaders of our church, including myself, accountable for our actions and our errors.  And may all of us, clergy, religious, laity, work together to end sexual abuse in the church and beyond.”

   The cards can be obtained after all masses next weekend, September 22 and 23, and during the week at the parish office.   Please note:   HEB cards can be used at  any HEB and are good for any HEB product including gas. Contact  Ed Wenzel at 214.263.4424 or the office if you would like additional information.

The Mass is our latest video class by Bishop Baron. Look for it this fall at St. Paul’s.
“Walk through the Liturgy with Bishop Barron and you'll  be transformed through insights on this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ.  See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response from his people, the Church, and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.  The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life.”  ( Word on Fire) The second session of six will take place on Thursday, September 20 at 4:00 p.m. in the Finn Family Life Center.  Books may be purchased at Store.WordOnFire.org for $21.21.

  ““My chief passion I believe to be a desire to be thought more of than what I really am. This frequently leads me to say things I fear too often for an effect. That is in what I do say this passion enters in as a part of the motive which it should not. Ah Lord give me grace to confess and overcome all my sins.”                   [ Diary, April 27, 1845]
