TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SEPTEMBER 10, 2017
“Marriage and Family Life Corner” BRING IT HOME “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Reflecting on this verse always provides me with reassurance and excitement. How often we forget this simple truth and act as if the Lord is only present during Mass. We, as the children of God, should never forget this truth. When you are home with you family and loved ones do you remember this truth? When coming together before meals, or praying before bed, remember that He is present. During times of distress do you turn to prayer, recognizing that He is there with you? This week as you go about your daily routine, be comforted by this fact and welcome Him in your midst.

Marriage Moments (by Susan Vogt, www.SusanVogt.net) Sunday September 10: Which of the 10 commandments is hardest for you (or your spouse) to keep? Do you know your beloved well enough to predict their answer? Of course there's always the Great Commandment, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Your spouse is your closest neighbor.
Parenting Pointers (by Susan Vogt, www.SusanVogt.net
Sunday September 10: Kids make mistakes, are selfish, or sometimes just plain mean. Forgiveness does not mean there is no consequence for bad behavior. Don't fear to give a punishment, but wrap it in love and a way to earn forgiveness.

The church is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is located at 1640 Church Road, Warwick, MD.
VOCATIONS CORNER 23 nd
Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s gospel reading, Jesus gives his disciples the authority to forgive sins, telling them “whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Bishops and priests continue to exercise the ministry of forgiving sins through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If you think God might be calling you to serve the Church as a priest, please call or write Father Norm Carroll, Diocesan Director of Priestly and Religious Vocations (302-573-3113 or [email protected]). Be sure to visit our website: www.cdow.org/vocations!

“Amen, amen I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are
to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”
How wonderful when we find several people gathered in prayer. It may be before a statue or
shrine, at table in a family home, or before the Blessed Sacrament. Maybe beads pass through
gnarled fingers, hands raised in praise, or a simple profound bow, people turning to a loving
God. His grace and their faith allow this stirring moment to happen.
Our prayer may be for our personal needs, may be prayer of intercession for someone who is ill
or in difficult circumstances, or an expression of deep gratitude for favors granted. On each
occasion may we acknowledge the words of the gospel that the Lord is truly present in such
