Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Do nothing out of selfishness; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves…” - Philippians 2:3
Pride and ego are hard things to control. We see how others act or dress and think we are superior to them. We idolize our own self-image. But, if we truly believe everything is a gift from God, we recognize all the people that God has put in our lives as gifts! We are grateful for how they enrich our lives. Pray every day for the people in your life: your family, your friends and those who make you angry.

Day of prayer to be held at historic Church of the Purification
Are you looking for a day of prayer and fellowship with your Bible study, friends, or family? Please join us!
The Church of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be open for a day of prayer on Saturday, October 3rd. The historic church in Crawfordville, GA, has recently been restored by Purification Heritage Center, a 501c3 that encompasses the Church of the Purification; Locust Grove Cemetery, the oldest Catholic Cemetery in Georgia; and Heritage Preserve, the land where the first Catholics in Georgia settled over 200 years ago.
The church will be open for private prayer at 11 a.m. At noon, the bells will ring, signaling the Angelus prayer followed by the Rosary. The church will remain open until 1:30 p.m. Locust Grove Cemetery and Heritage Preserve, which includes a picnic pavilion and a rosary prayer garden, will also be available to visitors on Saturday.
Historic Crawfordville and Washington are just a few miles away and offer shopping and dining options. Some favorites are Heavy’s BBQ in Crawfordville and the Square Cafe and spiritual gift shop, Seek Find Renew in Washington.
Social distancing guidelines, as mandated by the Archdiocese of Atlanta, will be followed inside the church.
Purification Heritage Center plans to open the Church of the Purification on the first Saturday of every month for prayer and reflection. To find out more about the First Saturday Prayer schedule and Purification Heritage Center, visit www.purificationheritagecenter.org or contact Ginger DiMascio, at 706-817-2503 or ginger@purificaitonheritagecenter.org.

Hurricane Laura is another tragic reminder of the suffering that can be caused by natural disasters. Whether these catastrophes occur in slow motion as Laura has or with little or no warning at any hour of the day or night, people of faith naturally want to offer assistance.
Electronic donations may be made to Catholic Charities USA. They and their member agencies respond to immediate emergency needs for such necessities as water, food, shelter and medical care, as well as to the long-term need to rebuild and recover after widespread destruction. They also assist the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops with pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church. Their address information follows:

Faith to Face Fear & Anxiety
Monastery Virtual Retreat: Saturday, September 26
Two Parts: 10-11:30 AM and 2- 3:30 PM
We can feel frozen in fear or overwhelmed with anxiety in these uncertain times. Unpacking anxiety with faith can provide clarity and vision, enabling us to overcome worry and focus on a better tomorrow
Unstuck – Finding Hope When Life Breaks Down

This retreat is via Zoom in two sessions:
