TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY

IN ORDINARY TIME

SEPTEMBER 2, 2018

First Reading: Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8 Moses tells the people to always observe the statutes God has given them, without adding or subtracting from these laws. He reminds them that the law is just, and that any nation who heard their statutes would consider them a wise nation.

Second Reading: James 1:17-18, 21b-22, 27 James discusses the gifts that God has given to all people and implores them to respond by welcoming the words of truth that can save them. He emphasizes that through good deeds and pure conduct, our faith in God is proven to him.

Gospel: Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 The Pharisees observed some of Jesus’ disciples eating without first purifying their hands and ask the disciples why they are going against their ancestor’s traditions. Jesus responds that nothing from the outside can make a person impure. The only true evil, acts such as fornication, murder, and greed among others, come from within and make a person impure.

LABOR DAY - AN AMERICAN HOLIDAY

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday which is observed on the first Monday in September. This year it happens to fall on September 3rd. The first Labor Day was observed on August 26, 1878, in Boston, by the Central Labor Union of New York, the nation’s first integrated major trade union. It became a federal holiday in 1894, when, following the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshalls during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with the labor movement as a top political priority. By unanimous vote, Congress passed a law making the day a national holiday some six days after the workers’ deaths. Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of summer. In the bygone years of high society, Labor Day was considered the last day of the year when it was fashionable for women to wear white. The day is often regarded as a day of rest and barbeques and parties. In U. S. sports, Labor Day marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons. For many school age boys and girls, Labor Day also marks the “last day of freedom” before returning to school. (Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

ROCKLAND 9-11 MEMORIAL MASS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH AT 7 PM

We invite everyone to please save the date for this year’s Rockland County 9-11 Memorial Mass. Because this special mass is traditionally hosted by the Vicar/Dean, this year it will again be held right here at Saint Aedan’s Church. During the Mass, we will pray aloud for all of our Rockland family members and friends who perished during the Attack on America, September 11, 2001. We will also pray for God’s continued love and protection upon all those they left behind on that terrible day. Uniformed responders, both retired and still on the job, are invited to attend in uniform. Others may wish to wear garments appropriate to one of the uniformed services. Following the mass, refreshments will be served in the parish hall. We invite everyone to join us. . _____________________________________________
