GOSPEL MEDITATION - 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
From the time we are born into this world until we die, our human radar picks up signals about how to respond to life. What we
picked up on when we were very young carries an even greater power. The messages we receive and process tell us what we are
“supposed” to do with our feelings, how to understand and cope with disappointment, anxiety, failure, death, illness, and what to
expect out of life. As life unfolds for us, these radar messages kick in and resonate in us at very deep levels. Sometimes what we
have learned is helpful and sometimes it is not. The stories we have been told, especially when we are young, about how life is best
lived and how to negotiate its pain carry a heavy weight.
Life can be challenging and frightening. Sometimes, it really hurts to be a human being. It also can be quite unpredictable and, at
times, unfair. We face our vulnerability and brokenness of all kinds: physical, emotional, and spiritual. It doesn’t take much for life
to quickly fall apart. What we knew to be familiar and true is gone and something we relied upon, physically, emotionally, or spiritu-
ally, can be taken away. It is hard to confront our limitations and sit with our incompleteness. Often, life hurts us so much that we
find ourselves sitting in a pool of sadness, not sure what we are supposed to do. It is particularly hard when the signals we have
inherited tell us that we need to be successful in what we do, and we have to avoid life’s unfairness. We can feel like a failure, won-
dering what precisely we did to deserve this fate, or ruminate about what we did not do correctly. But it’s really not about us. We are
part of a bigger picture and a much more fascinating story!
If we cease doing battle with life’s incompleteness and see ourselves, as God does, on a journey toward wholeness and complete-
ness, we can better accept our disappointments and stand firm. The prophets told us, and Jesus reassured us: Be strong! Fear not!
Sometimes we have to update our stories and replace them with newer, more accurate ones. When we make God’s story our own
and tune our radar into His voice, what we hear is all about restoration, healing, and rejuvenation! This is true even when we think
we have hit rock bottom and can go no further. There is always hope. Remember the words of Julian of Norwich: God made us, God
loves us, and God keeps us. Now, listen to God when He says, “be opened!” Be healed and allow your stories to change.

From the Creation Care Team
Celebrating the Season of Creation 2021
Join us for Labor Day Mass at McCannon Farms– Sept 6, 9am
Every year from September 1—October 4 (Feast of St. Francis of
Assisi), we have the opportunity as Christian Catholics to celebrate creation
in all its glory and to refocus our attention toward protecting it.
To start our Season off, our parish will be dedicating our Mass on Labor Day,
Sept. 6, to the environment. It will be held outside (weather permitting) at
9am at McCannon Farm, 45W104 Raymond Road in Big Rock. We will be
following all of the recent safety protocols outlined by the State of Illinois.
Make sure to bring your own folding chairs (a few benches will be available)
and sit 6-feet away from any other person, couple, or family. An optional
brunch will follow. Bring your own food, utensils, plate ware, etc. and practice
social distancing.
Pope Benedict XIV told us that protecting this inheritance is a way of fulfilling
our role as stewards of Creation. “Caring for Creation protects the inher-
itance the Creator has given us, . . an inheritance essential to our well-
being.” Also, Pope Francis urges us to recognize our connectedness with the
natural world when he stated in Laudato Si’, 139, “Nature cannot be regard-
ed as something separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we
live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction
with it.” Please join us for this special Mass. It will be a great way to start our
Season of Creation. Stay tuned for other opportunities that will follow.

Nursing our Bodies…Nursing our Faith
Notes from our Faith Community Nurse
The Importance of Deep Sleep
Experts know that everyone needs deep sleep. Do you know why restora-
tive sleep, or deep sleep, is important? Without restorative sleep, the
chances of infections, thinking and memory problems, and other health
issues increase. There are two kinds of sleep: rapid eye movement
(REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM). Deep sleep occurs in stage
3 of NREM, also called N3 or slow-wave sleep (SWS). The deepest sleep
happens in the first half of the night. During slow-wave sleep or deep
sleep, many things are going on in the body. The brain and body cools
down. The heart rate and respiratory (breathing) rate slow down. Blood
pressure drops. The body repairs muscle and other tissues. The body
uses less energy during deep sleep and has the chance to recover from
the busy, hectic day it went through. Deep sleep strengthens the
immune system daily and lowers chemicals that cause inflammation.
Poor quality sleep affects mental and physical well-being. It is linked to
mood disorders, migraines, heart disease, and obesity. Keep in mind
that a lack of deep sleep raises the risk of developing dementia,
Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and type
2 diabetes.
Healthy habits that may help to get more deep sleep are: give yourself
enough time to sleep; get up at the same time every day; avoid caffeine
late at night; avoid alcohol before bed; exercise regularly but not close to
bed time or take a warm bath an hour before bed.
If you are experiencing sleep difficulties, it is recommended to talk with
your health care provider. There are a variety of sleep disorders that
may cause sleep disturbances such as obstructive sleep apnea. This is a
disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. This can lead to
serious complications such as sleepiness during the day causing lack of
focus and concentration, heart problems, high blood pressure, stroke,
glaucoma and type 2 diabetes. Treatments are available for sleep apnea
and other sleep disorders that will help you get the deep sleep that you
need to stay healthy. (Source: WEBMD)
Turn to Scripture to Help You Sleep. There are times when it is hard fall-
ing and staying asleep due to the many things that we are thinking
about or worrying about before turning off the light and going to sleep.
This is happening more and more as we are coping with COVID-19 and
how it is changing our lives. As a people of faith, it is important to turn to
God for peace and comfort. God is with us as we experience burdens,
worries and anxieties. Turn to prayer and scripture to find rest in God’s
presence! This is Labor Day Weekend, thank God for the gift of work but
also for the gift of a good night sleep.
“In peace, I shall lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me
secure.” (Ps 4:9). For assistance or resources to improve your health,

Prayer of St. Pope Pius X to St. Joseph the Worker
O Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who labor, obtain for me the grace to
work in the spirit of penance in expiation for my numberless sins; preferring
devotion to duty to my inclinations, to work with joy and gratitude, regarding
it as an honor to develop and employ by work the gifts I have received from
God; to work with order, peace, patience and moderation without ever re-
coiling from weariness and difficulties, to work especially with pure intention
and detached from myself, ever having death before my eyes, and the ac-
count which I must give for time lost, for talent unused, for good committed,
and for vain satisfaction in success, so fatal to the work of God. Amen. Con-
secration to St. Joseph Fr. Donald J. Calloway, MIC
St. Joseph, Model of Workmen Pray for Us.
