Online and Television Mass for Sunday, August 16 and beyond https://www.dioceseoflansing.org/masses-and-online-spiritual-resources
EWTN has daily and weekend Mass on television—check your cable/satellite listings. Television/online liturgies do not fulfill your Sunday’s obligation to gather with our people. We encourage your in person
participation as soon as you are able even though Bishop Boyea has dispensed the obligation of Sunday Mass for all Catholics in the Diocese of Lansing through November 28. We miss you as much as you miss the Eucharist!
Please note that while the ministry scheduler app has names listed for all roles we will not need Eucharistic Ministers at this time. If you or anyone in your home is ill, please do not attend, even to fulfill your assignment

Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Cycle A
Matthew 15:21-28
Jesus heals the daughter of the Canaanite woman because of her great faith.
Today we move ahead in our reading of Matthew’s Gospel. Last week we read about Jesus walking on the water and the disciples’ confession of faith that Jesus is the Son of
God. If we were reading Matthew’s entire Gospel, we would have read about Jesus’ debate with the Pharisees about Jewish purity laws. Jesus argues that it is not what goes into us that makes us unclean; he is referring to the
strict Jewish dietary rules. Instead our words and our actions—what comes out of us—make us unclean because they emerge from a heart that is unclean.

Family Faith Formation
Assumption Question: The Assumption isn’t in the Bible. What proof do we have that it really happened? Answer: Since the beginning of the Church, Christians have venerated the relics of the saints. We can see this in the catacombs of Rome, in the crypts of churches, and in the reliquaries that contain tiny fragments of bone. Throughout Church history, there have been no relics of Mary nor any legitimate claims to her bones. Even the tomb of Mary, visited as a site of pilgrimage, stood empty. At the Council of Chalcedon in 451, the Roman emperor asked the bishop of Jerusalem to bring Mary’s relics to the council. The bishop reported that there were no relics of Mary. Upon finding her empty tomb, the Apostles had concluded that her body was taken up into heaven. Soon afterward, the Church began celebrating this miraculous event. The Assumption is an article of faith. Within the context of salvation, its meaning and logic is clear. Being born without original sin, Mary did not suffer its consequences. She is already participating in what we, too, will experience one day — the resurrection and glorification of our bodies as they reunite with our souls. ©LPi

We are a group of volunteers who want to celebrate
family! When we find out that a
family is expanding, we go into action! Whether they are giving birth to a first child, a 5th, or adopting, we coordinate a week’s worth of meals to allow the family to focus on the new addition.
If you would like more information about us or want to help please email:
If you know of a family who is expecting please let us
know and we will get in touch with them!
We urge those Catholic officials who choose to depart from Church teaching on the inviolability of human life in their public life to consider the consequences for their own spiritual well being, as well as the scandal they risk by leading others into serious sin. We call on them to reflect on the grave contradiction of assuming public roles and presenting themselves as credible Catholics when their actions on fundamental issues of human life are not in agreement with Church teaching. No public official, especially one claiming to be a faithful and serious Catholic, can responsibly advocate for or actively support direct attacks on innocent human life. [N]o appeal to policy, procedure, majority will or pluralism ever excuses a
public official from defending life to the greatest extent possible. As is true of leaders in all walks of life, no political leader can evade accountability for his or her exercise of power (Evangelium Vitae, 73-4). Those who justify their inaction on the grounds that abortion is the law of the land need to recognize that there is a higher law, the law of God. No human law can validly contradict the Commandment: "Thou shalt not kill."
