A MESSAGE FROM THE APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO U.S. 

We are requested to pray for peace this Sunday, August the 17th, especially for the people of northern Iraq. To quote Pope Francis, “May the God of Peace create in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence is not conquered with violence…” (Angelus, July 20, 2014).

Prayer for Peace in Iraq

by His Beatitude Louis Rafael Sako, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Iraq

Lord,

The plight of our country

is deep and the suffering of Christians

is severe and frightening.

Therefore, we ask you Lord

to spare our lives, and to grant us patience,

and courage to continue our witness of

Christian values with trust and hope.

Lord, peace is the foundation of life;

Grant us the peace and stability that will enable us

to live with each other without fear and anxiety,

and with dignity and joy.

Glory be to you forever.

Amen.

LECTORS & EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS’ SCHEDULE: AUGUST 23‐24, TEAM 4

CALL TO ACT IN GOD’S NAME  “Let all the nations praise you!” (Psalm 67:4) today’s psalm response exclaims. In the psalms and other Hebrew scriptures, this kind of invocation is actually an invitation to God to act, to intervene in human lives in a manner that will cause everyone—not just the Chosen People—to give praise. Stated a bit more strongly, it is something of a “put up or shut up” challenge to God, the sort of strong statement the psalmists of Israel, trusting in their intimate and loving relationship with God, were not afraid to make. The Gospel has its own exclamation, announcing the appearance of the Canaanite woman with “Behold!” (Matthew 15:22)

“Behold!” is a scriptural flag that tells us that God is about to act or announce something through an individual or a situation. In the case of Jesus, God was going to act through this woman, whom nobody among Jesus’ followers would have believed to be an agent of the divine will. Like the psalmists, we might passively inform or perhaps even actively challenge God to do something so that everyone will come to belief, but God will always turn the tables on us. It becomes our calling, our duty (as it was for Jesus) to behold the situations and persons of our daily lives so that God can act through us, so the Kingdom can be announced through our living.J S Paluch Co.

Would you like to become a Catechist? If so, we would like to invite you to answer the call to share in Jesus’ ministry. Becoming a Catechist will allow you to grow in your faith, learn the teachings of the Church, and deepen your relationship with Jesus.

If you would like to help with our Religious Education 2014-15 Programs, we encourage you to call the parish office at 323-930-5976, or send an email to: parish@cathedralchapel.org. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Top Reasons to Become a Catechist

♦ You will grow in your own faith, learn the teachings of the Church, and deepen your relationship with Jesus;

♦ Your baptism calls you to share in Jesus’ ministry;

♦ Children, teens, and adults in today’s world, more than ever, need to hear the Good News of Jesus, and the need to encounter good role models of faith;

♦ You have much to share with those you’ll teach and you’ll have opportunities to share faith with other catechists;

♦ You’ll be challenged, you’ll have fun, and you’ll make new friends;

♦ You’ll be helping people deepen their relationship with Jesus (you’ll be evangelizing!);

♦ It’s our job: Jesus sent us to “go and teach all nations”;

♦ What other reasons would you include?

CALENDAR PARISH next 2-weeks CATHEDRAL CHAPEL SCHOOL

NON‐DISCRIMINATION POLICY Cathedral Chapel School, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

Cathedral Chapel School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

We extend a warm welcome to all our school families and especially to all our new families for the

2014-2015 School Year! Hello! Join us!
