Today’s readings speak of God’s immeasurable
mercy. Forgiveness and compassion are a part of
God’s character and He wants them to be a part of
yours as well. Mercy is forgiveness and compassion
in action. To possess this virtue in your life you
must first be able to accept mercy, and to forgive
yourself when you fall. The way of the disciple and
steward is not easy. Knowing that God’s mercy
never ends allows you to walk the way of
discipleship with confidence and patience.

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
24e dimanche du temps ordinaire
September 15, 2013
24th Sunday in
Ordinary
Time:
Whenever we gather in
prayer as a Christian
community we are called to
celebrate and rejoice, just as
the merciful father ordered
in today’s Gospel. As we
celebrate and rejoice in the Lord Jesus, may we listen to
God’s word, grow in holiness as He strengthens us and seek
the forgiveness that only our heavenly Father can offer us.
24e dimanche du temps ordinaire:
Septembre est un mois d’achèvement, d’accomplissement et
de prise de responsabilités. Les lectures de la liturgie nous
suggèrent un contexte de joie, d’allégresse, comme si après
nous être un peu égarés, distanciés les uns les autres, nous
retrouvions la joie du retour de tous à la communauté. Celui
qui est perdu, égaré, éloigné est tout à coup revenu et
retrouvé. Et le ciel s’en réjouit.
Next Sunday’s
readings are:
Amos 8:4-7
1 Timothy 2:1-8
Luke 16:1-13
Les lectures pour
dimanche prochain:
Amos 8, 4-7
1 Timothée 2, 1-8
Luc 16, 1-13

pm. We will mostly be discussing our upcoming Autumnfest
Bazaar. Attendees will also have a chance to win a special
draw item. Don’t forget to bring along sold bazaar raffle

there was an awesome amount of help given! Let’s try to
duplicate that effort. Ladies wishing to pay

meeting.
Refreshments will be served.
Hope to see you there!
Bazaar news:
The Autumn Fest Bazaar is 2 weeks
away! Kindly give some thought as to how you can support
our annual fundraiser. The Bazaar committee asks that you
return all tickets ASAP by way of the Sunday collection
basket. Clearly mark your envelope: CWL BAZAAR
RAFFLE TICKETS. If returning by mail, please send ticket
stubs and checks only to: Visitation CWL, P.O. Box 324,
Comber, On. N0P 1J0. You may bring tickets to tomorrow
evening’s general membership meeting or drop them off at
the Parish office. The committee is also counting on CWL
members to donate a new item ($10.00 value) for the Penny
Sale table. Remember we have a children’s section as well.
A toonie is being collected from each member, in order to
purchase 3 grocery gift cards, for a raffle. This may be
inserted in the envelope used for sold raffle tickets.
Homemade Baked goods may be brought in Friday,
September 27th all day from 9 am-7 pm, or Saturday
morning. Please label your baked goods indicating whether
or not they contain nuts/peanut butter.
Should you be
unable to bake, consider donating canned pie filling (This
may be left on the church kitchen counter anytime before the
bazaar) or simply make a monetary donation. Think about
when you could participate in this event during the prep days
as well as the day of the bazaar. Even a couple of hours
would help out greatly. We would love to see you. Check
out the forms on the foyer desk to see in what capacity you
could assist us. Just sign in what time would suit you. For
information call Yvette (519-798-5951) or Barb (519-682-2280).
