September 12: Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dearest Mother Mary, Mother of God and my mother, I love you and call upon you to receive me into your motherly heart so that you will present me to your Son, Jesus. Your Son entrusted me to your motherly care as He hung upon the Cross, and I now imitate that entrustment by giving myself to you as my mother. Please gain for me every grace I need to be faithful to God’s will, so that I will imitate the fidelity that you manifested in your own life. Mother Mary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. from mycatholic.life

Blessing for the Fallen of 9-11 God of mercy, in your word of Scripture, you instruct us to “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Give us today the courage to assist those around us who may need our assistance. Give us patience when we become impatient. Remind us to pray for all those who perished on United Airlines 93, American Airlines 11, United Airlines 175, American Airlines 77, and those in the Twin Towers and Pentagon. Give us a heart thankful for those who gave their lives as first responders, as did the men and women who ran into danger to be of aid. We ask all this in the name of the One who first responded to our need for a savior, Jesus the Christ.
A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar September 8, 2024: 23rd Sunday (Mark 7:31-37) Because the deaf man in today’s gospel recognized his disability, he could seek help from Jesus. Deafness abounds in families: in our children (“Oh dad, not that again”), in parents (“It is just a stage”), and in spouses (“Are you listening?”). Before Jesus can enter your home and heal, you must first recognize your deafness.
