BAHAMAS RECOVERY - FROM THE CARDINAL: "I did not want you to think we had neglected the Hurricane damage in the Bahamas. I al-ways hesitate to call for a second collection. Lord knows we have enough. However, we do have an "emergency relief fund" in the archdiocese, and I have sent $50,000 from that from us to the bishop of the island. If any of you did take up a collection, or if any parishioner asked where to send a donation, send it to us and we'll get it to the bishop."

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION   Although New Year’s Day has been fixed firmly on January 1 for several hundred years, Labor Day has the feel of a great dividing line between leisure and routine. The pace of life has since picked up, and new schedules and commitments crowd us. In the background is God’s call to consider the third commandment, still life‑giving and binding, to make holy the Lord’s Day by worship and rest. Jews see the Sabbath, Saturday, not so much as a day of wor-ship, but as a day of rest, a day of renewing friend-ship with God by delighting in the beauty of creation and the joy of family and friends. It is a day for con-templating the wonder of God’s creation, but not disturbing it.   For Christians in the first three centuries, the Lord’s Day, Sunday, was not for rest, but worship. It was a regular work day. People met before dawn, and after Eucharist hurried off to daily routines. To-day we come to Mass, but many hurry off to essen-tial work, not a day of rest. The Lord’s Day is not the Sabbath, but we can enhance Sunday’s ability to transform us if we consider embracing some Sabbath values: having a family meal, going for a walk in a beautiful place, making room in our lives to open ourselves more fully to holiness of life in Christ.  —James Field, Copyright © J.

LOST AND FOUND   Welcome to “Lost and Found Sunday”! Just in case being in church makes us proudly consider our-selves especially religious, today’s Gospel suggests that we’d be wiser to admit that we’re sometimes lost. Then we’ll eventually be happily counted among Jesus’ “found,” because today Jesus focuses on a lost sheep, lost coin, lost son. Jesus does so be-cause the Pharisees and scribes, proudly considering themselves especially religious, “began to complain” that Jesus “welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So Jesus warns them—and us—to stop judging oth-ers. Marvel instead that God’s amazing grace has found us! Indeed, we should become Jesus’ friends lovingly trying to find others. So Exodus asks, if God “relented in punishment” and pardoned us, shouldn’t we forgive fellow sinners graciously? Even Paul admits his “arrogance” as “foremost among sinners.” We too, happy at being “mercifully treated,” should share with everyone else Jesus’ un-failing patience.
