September 2, 2012 - 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time:

Collect:
“God of might, giver of every good gift,
put into our hearts the love of your name,
so that, by deepening our sense of reverence,
you may nurture in us what is good
and, by your watchful care,
keep safe what you have nurtured.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, the master in today’s reading, gives us graces ( talents), according to our abilities to use them. If we use what He has given us, He will increase His gifts to us, if not, we will lose them. It does not matter how little or how much grace He has given us to begin with, our rewards will be the same, provided we have been faithful.
To the servant who received five talents as well as the one who received two talents, the master rewarded tham equally:
**"Well done, my good and faithful servant.
Since you were faithful in small matters,
I will give you great responsibilities.
Come, share your master’s joy’
**

Heavenly Father, May your name be glorified and exalted in all that we do. Thank you for our day to day responsibilities, help us to be faithful to them always.
May we live our lives according to Your Holy Will.
Amen!

Thoughts from today’s Euchalette, p. 1:
"Since the time Adam and Eve committed their first grave sin, the human heart has remained exposed to the devastation of violent passions which lead to acts that destroy individuals and societies. In the Commandments, God has supplied us with a powerful defense line that protects us from the violence of these destructive passions and enables us to live a life of harmony, cooperation and fulfillment. Our task is to take God’s commandments seriously and make them the foundation of our moral life.

In this Eucharistic celebration, let us pray in a special manner for the grace to appreciate God’s Law and to live by it not only as individuals but also as a community and as a nation.

… let us pray for all those who are in the service of catechesis and the people whose lives they touch by their teaching and example."
 
September 3 - St. Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church (Memorial):

Collect:
“O God, who care for your people with gentleness
and rule them in love,
through the intercession of Pope Saint Gregory,
endow, we pray, with a spirit of wisdom
those to whom you have given authority to govern,
that the flourishing of a holy flock
may become the eternal joy of the shepherds.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”

“St. Gregory (540-604) abandoned his position in the Roman government to become a monk and used his wealth to found six monasteries, meanshile serving as a papal legate to Constantinople. When elected Pope, he instituted liturgical reforms and organized missions; due to him, missionaries were first sent to England.” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)

September 8 - The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Feast):

Collect:
“Impart to your servants, we pray, O Lord,
the gift of heavenly grace,
that the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin
may bring deeper peace
to those for whom the birth of her Son
was the dawning of salvation.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.”

"This feast commemorates the birth of her who was to be the Mother of the Savior because the Blessed Virgin Mary occupies a unique place in salvation history. Our Lord reserved for her the highest mission ever entrusted to any creature. (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)

September 9 - St. Peter Claver, Priest and Religious (Memorial in the Dioceses of the United States):

Collect:
“O God, who made Saint Peter Claver a slave of slaves
and strengthened him with wonderful charity and patience
as he came to their help,
grant, through his intercession,
that, seeking the things of Jesus Christ,
we may love our neighbor in deeds and in truth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”

“Born near Barcelona, St Peter (1580-1654) was a Jesuit missionary who ministered to African slaves as they arrived at the South American seaport of Cartagena. Enduring the derision of the slave traders, he fed the hungry, cared for the sick and dying, preached the Gospel, and baptized converts for nearly forty years.” (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)

(My computer just got fixed; here are more on the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady.)

“The prayers and readings point to the birth of Jesus, which is the ‘dawn of our Salvation’. The liturgy wants us to view the birth of Mary in relation to the birth of her Son. This 5th c. feast marks the anniversary of the dedication of a basilica in Jerusalem built, according to tradition, on the location of the home of St. Anne., the mother of Mary; …” (Ordo.)

Sharing some thoughts from today’s Euchalette, p. 1:

"Being unable to hear and speak is a crippling handicap. But even worse than physical deafness and dumbness are the spiritual forms of these ‘handicaps’ - the inability or the unwillingness to hear God’s Word and to respond to it, or the refusal to hear the pleas of our neighbor and respond to it with compassion and love.

Jesus was able to restore the gifts of hearing and speech to the deaf and mute man. He can also perform the even greater miracle of healing the spiritually deaf and mute among us. In this Eucharist, let us pray that we may approach Jesus with humility and faith, and the readiness to obey him, so that we will be able to hear God’s Word clearly in our hearts. This will move us to respond to the call of our neighbors with generous readiness and proclaim His glory by words and deeds.

Today, let us also pray for our grandparents as we celebrate 'Grandparents’Day." (p.1.)

Happy Grandparents Day to all our grandparents. May special blessings be theirs today!

Hi, everyone.

Amiciel and I (who work together closely on the content of this thread) thought it most practical to provide to you all, the mother link to the day’s Scripture reflection.

It is possible that there will be other days when the daily posts to this thread will not be made early enough for everyone in all the time zones for reasons beyond our control. Reasons such as computer problems, missing internet signals in our area, duties at home requiring immediate attention (always my 1st priority).

With the mother link, you can access the daily reflections on your own on days when posts to this thread are made late. The link is also being added to my signature, for easy access any time. We hope this arrangement will help.

The link is:

God bless us all! And may He strengthen our love and understanding of the Word of God!
