1. Adult choir weekly rehearsals will resume on Sept. 14 from 6:30--7:30 PM. New members are always welcome. While
being able to read music is an asset, it is not a requirement. For more information please contact Linda Mayer after church, by phone (314-997-7664), or by email [email protected]
2. Handbell choir rehearsals will resume on Sunday, September 17 immediately following the 9:30 AM mass. Two--three new members are needed in order to complete our two octave choir. Some music reading skills will be taught in this class. Previous ringing experience and/or mu-sic reading is a plus, but it is not a requirement. If you would be willing to give this fun experience a try, please contact Linda Mayer after church, by phone (314-997-7664) or email at [email protected]

Committee Meeting The Activity committee will meet this Tuesday at 8:00PM in Ryan Hall. All are welcome to attend.
What is a just wage? We might say it is pay proportionate to the amount of work performed, but in today’s parable we learn that God’s view of a just wage is high above our view. It is the wage a person needs to live on for one day: the “daily wage.” In God’s view of justice a person’s worth (or pay) is not deter-mined by industriousness, righteousness, status, wealth; not by anything a person has or does. Human worth is based only on our personhood. It is not “just” in God’s eyes for anyone to receive less than the wages needed to live each day in dignity. Is the landowner generous? Yes, certainly. In God’s eyes, only such indiscriminate generosity would be truly just. God’s view of justice requires God—and us—to be generous. Whether we are speaking of spiritual or material “pay,” here or hereafter, God wants to pay us not according to what we deserve, but according to what we need. All are equally worthy of a just wage in the eyes of our generous God.

Living God’s Word Everyone who participates in God’s reign has God’s own gen-erous justice to thank. And that humble knowledge of God’s generosity to us should compel us to show the same generos-ity to the poor and marginalized in our Church and our soci-ety.
