In the Church: On
September 4th, the church remembers Saint Rosalia. As a descendent of
Charlemagne, she was raised in the court but felt a call to dedicate her life
to God as a hermitess. She moved to a cave in Sicily and remained there for the
rest of her life, dedicated to prayers and works of penance. During a plague in
1625, several hundred years after her death, she appeared in a vision to
someone near her cave and this resulted in finding her relics. Her relics were
brought to the city and the plague ended. Consequently, she is credited with
saving the city. Her feast day was made a holy day of obligation in Sicily by
Pope Pius XI in 1927. To read more about her

Stewardship In
Action: This week, Jesus continues to tell the disciples that following Him will not be an easy task. None of us has the strength to follow Jesus on our own. We need His constant help to live the life we were called to live by our baptism. Through baptism, we give up our old life and accept life in Christ. We are asked to put God above all else in our life....above family, above friends and above possessions. Like it or not, we will have crosses to bear in our life. How we react to them, can bring God's grace to us and our neighbor. It has been said that a saint is someone who makes it easier to believe in God. We can all probably recall persons in our lives whose reactions to events, good or bad, helped us see God at work in the world. This is how we are called to bear our crosses, in ways that lead others to God’s grace and love. |
