2 GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Couples celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary from across the Archdiocese of Chicago are invited to gather together for the Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass that will be celebrated on Sunday, September 16, by Cardinal Cupich. The location of the Mass will be announced soon. To register, contact your parish office, or register online at: pvm.archchicago.org. Msza Św. z okazji Złotych Godów odbędzię się w niedzielę, 16-go września br. Lokacja Mszy Św. będzie już za niedługo ogłoszona.

This is a Holy Day of obligation. Masses will be celebrated: 9am in English & 7pm in Polish Jesus is the first fruit of the resurrection as St. Paul writes in his letter to the Corinthians. On the Feast of The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we remember her being harvested into heaven. As this time of year reflects the abundance of God and even now the fruits of the earth are slowly being harvested, we invite you to bring the bright flowers and fragrant herbs from your garden to be blessed at the Mass you attend. In doing this, we hold onto the promise of resurrection and being gathered into God s kingdom.

CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED Question: What is the difference between mortal and venial sin? Answer: Sin is a deliberate thought, word, action, or omission contrary to God's law. Since the beginnings of the Church, sin has been distinguished by its gravity. "Grave matter" is traditionally defined by the Ten Commandments. If a person commits a grave sin with full knowledge of the action's evil and with the complete consent of their will, this is a mortal sin. The effects of mortal sin are grave -- the loss of sanctifying grace, which can be restored by a fresh outpouring of God's mercy in the sacrament of Reconciliation. Venial sin does not fit one or more of these conditions (for example, a less serious matter still freely chosen or grave matter committed while under force or ignorance of God's law). The effects of venial sin -- while still damaging to the human heart and human society -are less severe. Even so, smaller sins build habits, which can obstruct our growth in virtue. When we are serious about following Jesus, we should do our best to avoid all sin, whether large or small!
