Is your image of God bigger than the labels and categories into which we often place Him? God has been acting in our world from the beginning of time and has been intimately wedded to creation for thousands of years before the creation of humanity. Did you ever consider that God was present when dinosaurs traveled the earth? God's presence surprises us, but He can be clearly seen when people, regardless of their faith or creed, rise to the occasion and do the right thing. We have seen this countless times throughout history when people have put their differences aside, sacrificing their own security and needs to help others. God is much larger than we make Him out to be. Try to be present and mindful and not miss God working in all moments of life. If we are not attentive, God's presence can go unnoticed.
26th Sunday in Ordinary Time In today's Gospel, Jesus' disciples face a classification problem. They've seen another person driving out demons in the name of Jesus. They recognize him, a non-apostle, as clearly "out." And yet "Jesus replied, 'Do not prevent him; whoever is not against us is for us." Jesus recognizes real faith in the wouldbe exorcist. In our own lives, Jesus invites us to recognize others' good intentions. They should not be cut off simply because they do not line up with all our personal preferences. What, then, is deserving of such a fate? "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out." When His listeners blame others, Jesus tends to pivot the conversation to their own lives. In this case, the message is clear. What we really need to cut out is that which keeps us from Jesus. If over-commitment causes us to lose patience with our family, doubt God's providence, and become consumed with selfreliance, cut something out. If certain friendships lead us time after time into gossip and slander, cut it out. In today's Gospel, Jesus invites us to live intentionally in our discipleship. Are we ready? October.

Saint Therese of the Child Jesus On October 1, Catholics around the world honor the life of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, or St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her feast day. On Christmas Day 1886 St. Thérèse had a profound experience of intimate union with God, which she described as a complete conversion. Almost a year later, in a papal audience during a pilgrimage to Rome, in 1887, she asked for and obtained permission from Pope Leo XIII to enter the Carmelite Monastery at the young age of 15. Saint Thérèse was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997-100 years after her death at the age of 24. She is only the third woman to be so proclaimed, after Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Teresa of Avila. Many, many thanks to all our friends and families who supported our Post Festival brunch last Sunday. We are very pleased to report we made $1500 to use toward the church expenses. We still have cheese pierogi for sale for $8.00/ dozen. If you are interested please call Magda at the rectory. Please save the date of October 14. We will be serving delicious potato pancakes. More information to follow in next bulletin.
XXVI Niedziela Zwykła Przeżywamy dzień Pański. Gromadzimy siê w kościele, aby wspólnie sprawować w tym dniu ęi uobecnienie Jezusa Chrystusa jedynej Ofiary Ofiary Krzyża. Nasz Bóg nie ma względu na osobę. Chce każdego obdarzyć dobrem i uszczęśliwić. Chce, aby każdy człowiek usłyszał Jego słowo i pełnił Jego wolę. Dobry i miłosierny Bóg chce, aby każdy człowiek był dobry i miłosierny, Nie zazdrość, nie zachłanność i chciwość, nie zgorszenie mają kierować życiem dzieci Bożych. Słowo Twoje, Panie, jest prawdą, uświęć nas w prawdzie.
