UNITY
On this day in 2016 Pope Francis spoke to the Bishops during his visit here for the Synod on the Family. His words continue their relevance- indeed it is as if he is speaking to us all today. In persona Christi!
“May the forthcoming Year {of Mercy}, by drawing us into the fathomless depths of God’s heart in which no division dwells, be for all of you a privileged moment for strengthening communion, perfecting unity, reconciling differences, forgiving one another and healing every rift, that your light may shine forth like “a city built on a hill” (Mt 5:14).
This service to unity is particularly important for this nation, whose vast material and spiritual, cultural and political, historical and human, scientific and technological resources impose significant moral responsibilities in a world which is seeking, confusedly and laboriously, new balances of peace, prosperity and integration. It is an essential part of your mission to offer to the United States of America the humble yet powerful leaven of communion. May all mankind know that the presence in its midst of the “sacrament of unity” (Lumen Gentium, 1) is a guarantee that its fate is not decay and dispersion.
This kind of witness is a beacon whose light can reassure men and women sailing through the dark clouds of life that a sure haven awaits them, that they will not crash on the reefs or be overwhelmed by the waves.
I encourage you, then, to confront the challenging issues of our time. Ever present within each of them is life as gift and responsibility. The future freedom and dignity of our societies depends on how we face these challenges.” - Pope Francis (Excerpt taken from the conclusion of his address)

MEMORIAL OF PIUS OF PIETRELCINA, PRIEST
Listen from the heart
Saint Pius of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) is better known by his nickname, Padre Pio. He is said to have borne the stigmata, the wounds of our Lord, for more than 50 years. To be sure, he was a man of prayer and suffering, a Capuchin Franciscan priest who lived in a small Italian friary nearly all of his life. However, the principal reason for his local fame was his ability to listen to those who came seeking his counsel, to “read their hearts” and to offer them the love of God in the sacraments. His frequent message to penitents, “Pray, hope, and don’t worry,” is a message for us to treasure and savor today.
Today's readings: Proverbs 30:5-9; Luke 9:1-6
“He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God.”

Season of Creation Day 23:
God’s Word is in all Creation
God's Word is in all creation. All creation is awakened, called, by the resounding melody of God's invocation of the Word, the Word that manifests in every creature.
All living creatures are sparks from the radiation of God's brilliance, emerging from God like the rays of the sun.
The truly holy person welcomes all that is earthly.
― Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), Christian mystic, visionary, Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, painter, philosopher, Doctor of the Church,
canonized a saint in 2012
You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.
— Rumi,(1207-1273)
Do your part. It’s more than just a drop in the ocean!
Is your home wasting energy?
Unplug, switch off, schedule use when demand is less. Small practices make a big difference!
pause | reflect | act
Jesus sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal...Luke 9:2

Trade stressed for blessed
Back-to-school September is such a stressful time for families. Add the reality of COVID-19—with parents trying to work from home, kids’ schedules often up in the air—and it gets all the messier. Even if you don’t have children at home, you probably know people who do and are stressing. How can we all find balance? Honor the sabbath in whatever way you are able, by hitting the pause button—even for a few hours. “Human life has a rhythm of work and rest,” says the Catechism of the Catholic Church. “The institution of the Lord’s Day helps everyone enjoy adequate rest and leisure to cultivate their familial, cultural, social, and religious lives.” Plan ahead for this coming Sunday.
TODAY'S READINGS: Proverbs 21:1-6, 10-13; Luke 8:19-21
“To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD.”

God created the world with a great variety of flowers of all colours. Every flower has its beauty, which is unique. Each of us is also beautiful in God's eyes, and God loves us. This makes us feel the need to say “thank you” to God: Thank you! Thank you for the gift of life, for all creatures!
