Twenty- Third Week of Ordinary Time - Year A- Psalter Week 3 Saturday 5 th September – Saturday 12 th September Matthew 18:15-20 Conflict Resolution God’s Way There was a church where the pastor and the minister of music were not getting along. As time went by, this began to spill over into the worship service. The first week the pastor preached on commitment and how we all should dedicate ourselves to the service of God. The music director led the song, "I Shall Not Be Moved." The second week the pastor preached on tithing and how we all should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The director led the song, "Jesus Paid it All." The third week the pastor preached on gossiping and how we should all watch our tongues. The music director led the song, "I Love to Tell the Story." With all this going on, the pastor became very disgusted over the situation and the following Sunday told the congregation that he was considering resigning. The musician led the song, "Oh Why Not Tonight?" As it came to pass, the pastor did indeed resign.

Twenty- Third Week of Ordinary Time - Year A- Psalter Week 3 Saturday 5th September – Saturday 12th September
Matthew 18:15-20 Conflict Resolution God’s Way There was a church where the pastor and the minister of music were not getting along. As time went by, this began to spill over into the worship service. The first week the pastor preached on commitment and how we all should dedicate ourselves to the service of God. The music director led the song, "I Shall Not Be Moved." The second week the pastor preached on tithing and how we all should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The director led the song, "Jesus Paid it All." The third week the pastor preached on gossiping and how we should all watch our tongues. The music director led the song, "I Love to Tell the Story." With all this going on, the pastor became very disgusted over the situation and the following Sunday told the congregation that he was considering resigning. The musician led the song, "Oh Why Not Tonight?" As it came to pass, the pastor did indeed resign. The next week he informed the church that it was Jesus who led him there and it was Jesus who was taking him away. The music leader led the song, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."
The passage from Matthew 18:15-20 was intended to give the early church guidance about how to deal with conflict and broken relationships. The first step toward reconciliation involves listening. Sometimes what we hear is not actually what was said. A good example is gossip. Several different stories or rumours often result from one story or incident. True listening means going to the other person. In other words, we are to take the first step. This is often painful, but it is necessary if there is to be any hope of reconciliation, forgiveness, and peace. If a relationship is important to us, sooner or later we will need to swallow our pride. If one-on-one efforts fail to resolve the problem, the next step is to involve two or three outsiders. Unfortunately, most people do this step first, and not in the way it was intended. People are often dragged into disputes as the parties involved look for allies. I’ve seen this happen in my day job. Several of my co-workers have tried to drag me into disputes that they are having with other co-workers of management. I tell them politely that I’m not going to get involved. There are times, however, where it is not possible or even desirable for the two conflicting parties to meet one on one, and therefore this second step actually has to be carried out first. Examples of situations where this is necessary include situations where the conflict is serious or sensitive in nature. If the involvement of two or three outsiders fails, the next step involves taking the dispute to the entire church, usually through the governing body, but sometimes through a congregational meeting. This body has the final solution that can be used as a last resort-exclusion from the congregation by means of suspension or expulsion. Unfortunately, denominations such as the Mormons or the Jehovah’s Witnesses have used this to justify their policy of shunning former members. This is not what Jesus meant when he told the church to treat outsiders like tax collectors or Gentiles. After all, Matthew was a tax collector, and Jesus certainly didn’t treat him harshly! We must remember that Jesus was the friend of tax collectors and sinners. His entire ministry revolved around bringing outsiders into the kingdom by reconciling them to God. He is doing the same thing today because we are all outsiders. All of us are outsiders of God’s kingdom because we are all sinners. Even if we have done nothing wrong in our lives, we are still sinners because we are tainted by the original sin of Adam and Eve. While it appears that the church is forcing the offender outside its circle, it is, in reality, only acknowledging publicly that the offender has already placed himself or herself outside its circle. Jesus promises that God will support the church in this vital function. If the church doesn’t order its life, who will? If the church doesn’t deal with people in its midst that threaten its existence and mission, who will? The hope is that the offender will be motivated to take steps to regain membership in the fold. While the church regards the offender as a Gentile or tax collector, Matthew’s church regards Gentiles and tax collectors as a mission field. Reconciliation is the key to healing rifts and conflicts. Is it possible? Yes. Icy conditions don’t provide a very growth for new growth-spiritual and otherwise. In the words of a Jesuit martyr, “The natural world is for everyone, without borders. God’s table is a common table, big enough for everyone, each with a seat, so that each one can come to the table to eat”. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross changes our concept of the role of violence in God’s protection of us; that is, violence is not a tool of our protection but rather our protection absorbs and transcends violence.
The process of reconciliation is made easier by the knowledge that God is with us if we come together in his name during the process. God is with us whenever two or three are gathered together in his name. God sustains us even when there is no hope. When we turn to the deepest centre of our hearts, we will find God and hope will spring forth. Reconciliation without God is not true reconciliation. It is merely peacemaking. When a believing community works to settle disputes, Christ is in our midst working to achieve the same goal. He is the ultimate peacekeeper and peacemaker. He is the role model for peacekeeping forces in trouble spots worldwide. Just like Christ laid down his life to reconcile us to God, peacekeepers are prepared to lay down their lives to bring peace and reconciliation to warring parties. Matthew’s purpose was to make everything in the early church perfect. After all, he was a tax collector, and we all know how modern-day tax collectors like to have everything perfect and in order, especially when they want our hard-earned tax dollars! Matthew and Jesus wanted to restore order among believers. That’s why Matthew included these words from Jesus in his gospel. That does NOT mean that they went to the extremes the Pharisees did by making up rules to cover every potential situation. On the contrary, Jesus liked to keep things simple. That’s why he replaced the Ten Commandments with the two Great Commandments-“Love God and love people”. Reconciliation is easier to do if we keep these two Great Commandments in mind. Although reconciliation is a desirable goal, there are times when it is not possible or desirable. For example, at the time I’m preparing this sermon, it will be only a few days until the world marks the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. No one in his or her right mind would want to forgive or reconcile with Osama bin Laden and his colleagues after they committed mass murder. Jesus isn’t interested in who is right or who is wrong. He only cares about getting a broken relationship fixed. Our concerns about who is right and who is wrong often lead to giving up on relationships with others. Our natural response is to wage war with the other person, but that’s not part of the blueprint God has for our lives-and that blueprint is the Bible. God’s blueprint for our lives includes having conflicting parties sit down face to face and reconcile. The process of reconciliation is helped by prayer. When we are involved in conflict, we need to seek direction in prayer. If an outcome or resolution is reached through prayer, it will be accepted by God. Living a Christian life within a community of faith is not easy and demands some maturity from us. We have to determine how to love one another. It is more than being nice. Real love in our world requires informed thought and tough choices. Matthew 18:15-20 is not meant to be taken as permission for those in authority to harm others or abuse their power. It is about listening, accountability and a larger vision of God’s kingdom. It is about being accountable to others for the power we hold. It is about using the power of God’s kingdom to care for the least and most vulnerable. As I mentioned earlier, the process of reconciliation is helped by prayer. For example, Corrie ten Boom worked to save several Jews from the Nazis in Holland during World War II. She was arrested and taken to the infamous Ravensbruck concentration camp. She later wrote of her experiences in the famous book, “The Hiding Place”. She often thought back over the horrors of the Ravensbruck concentration camp. How could she ever forgive the former Nazis who had been her jailers? Where were love, acceptance, and forgiveness in a horror camp where more than 95,000 women died? How could she ever forget the horrible cruelty of the guards and the smoke constantly coming from the chimney of the crematorium? Then in 1947 Corrie was speaking in a church in Munich, and when the meeting was over she saw one of the cruelest male guards of Ravensbruck coming forward to speak to her. He had his hand outstretched. "I have become a Christian," he explained. "I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well. Fraulein, will you forgive me?"
A conflict raged in Corrie's heart. The Spirit of God urged her to forgive. The spirit of bitterness and coldness urged her to turn away. "Jesus, help me," she prayed. Then she knew what she must do. "I can lift my hand," she thought to herself. "I can do that much." As their hands met it was as if warmth and healing broke forth with tears and joy."I forgive you, brother, with all my heart," she said. Later Corrie testified that "it was the power of the Holy Spirit" who had poured the love of God into her heart that day. This is the only way true forgiveness can take place. We turn our hurt over to God. We ask God for the ability to forgive. The Holy Spirit lives in each and every one of us, but Jesus promises to be with us in a unique and special way when we gather in His name for worship, service and mutual encouragement. He is in our midst when we work together to right wrongs. Forgiveness and justice should characterize the Christian community. If it does, others will recognize something unique about the church and might even recognize Christ alive and active in our midst doing what isn’t “do-able” without him. Some of you might have heard of a country song entitled, “Anyway.” It reminds us of how we are to treat each other as Christians, and it also sums up how and why Jesus wants us to resolve conflicts. I’d like to share some of its words as I close my message. People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered, Love them anyway. If you are good, people will accuse you of ulterior motives, Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable, Be honest and frank anyway. People really need help, but may attack you if you help them, Help them anyway. In the final analysis, it’s between you and God, It was never between you and them anyway. The late Jack Layton put it another way in the last letter that he wrote to Canadians before he died. He wrote, “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving and optimistic, and we’ll change the world”. If we remember his words and the words of Jesus, especially when we are in conflict with our fellow man, we will change the world. Loving our neighbour fulfills any and every other divine command, for genuine love does no harm to its neighbour.

Fr Greg writes:
With great Joy this weekend we celebrate one of our special Masses for the children of this years First Holy Communion class and of course their families. Please remember these families in your prayers and we pray that they will continue to take their rightful place in the Church community bringing their plentiful gifts for the good of the community. Thank you to Fran and all the Catechists who have overcome so many odds to prepare the children this year. Today is also education Sunday when we remember the
values and distinct nature of Catholic Education following
the teachings of Christ and his Church. We pray that all
leadership teams will be strong and faithful in their
decisions often in a hostile world
Deacon Chris writes: Church Opening Since we started opening St. Marys in late June, we have had an excellent group of volunteers to act as Stewards and keep our visitors and parishioners safe. However, as schools start to go back and more people are going into work we need some more parishioners to act as stewards, particularly during the week so that we can keep the church open for a couple of hours every day. Stewards are required from Monday to Friday 11.45 am until the end of 1 o’clock Mass, and for a couple of hours to cover each of the weekend Masses. The more stewards we have the easier will be the work of keeping our church open. If you can help the Parish and are in good health and not living with anyone who has underlying medical conditions, please get in touch with either:
• Fr. Paul Smith - 01332 346126 • Parish Administrator Selina Alton
Weekend Masses Most of our Masses at the weekend are now reaching full capacity and we need to keep a careful record of everyone who is coming to Mass at St. Marys. With this in mind could we ask all parishioners to arrive for Mass at least 10 minutes before Mass begins, that way we can ensure that no one is locked outside when Mass starts. The Bishops instructions state that once Mass begins the Church doors must be shut while we are observing the Coronavirus restrictions.

OFFERTORY & SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS
Some parishioners have asked how they can continue to make their offerings during the period our churches are closed.
This is much appreciated; our Parish needs your continued support at this time.
Coronavirus has raised some very particular financial challenges for us. Not only do we have no plate and envelope
collection, but we cannot hire out our parish rooms either. We must, however, continue to pay for essentials such as our
priest’s living expenses, the upkeep of our buildings and other ongoing costs.
Of course, we realise that the current emergency is affecting many people’s income and they may not be able to
continue their level of offerings. If this is the case, we fully understand, and our prayers are with you.
If you currently pay by standing order, this will continue as usual unless you tell your bank to vary it.
If you usually give by envelope or via cash in the collection, you could now donate via your online or telephone banking.
You can either make individual payments whenever you like, or you can set up a regular gift by Standing Order. This
can be stopped at any time, for example, if you wish to resume giving by cash or envelope once Sunday Mass is
resumed.
Please put your name (e.g. D SMITHE) in the payment reference so we know the gift is from you. This is particularly
important if we have a signed gift aid mandate from you. If you normally use numbered envelopes you should quote your
envelope number as the payment reference (so D SMITHE, the holder of envelope 19, would be D SMITHE ENV 19).
If you are a UK taxpayer, you also have the option of adding Gift Aid, whereby the UK Government adds a further 25%
to your donation. Anyone wishing to set up a new Gift Aid arrangement should contact the parish office via email
[email protected] as we are not able to process the usual paper applications at this time.
If you would like help to pay in this way, please simply email [email protected]
Please provide your name and telephone number so that we can contact you.
Our parishes relies on donations to stay open and provide care and support to everyone in our
community. Now more than ever, please consider giving generously to support our mission and
ministry.
For the purposes of setting up a regular gift via your online banking, our parishes bank details are:
Name of the account: St Mary Derby RCP Sort Code: 30-92-59 Account: 00428642 Name of the account: Holy Family Allestree RCP Sort Code: 30-92-59 Account: 07412601 Name of the account: Christ the King Mackworth RCP Sort Code: 30-92-59 Account: 00063601 Thank you for your support
"My thoughts turn once again to Lebanon and its people, so sorely tried," Pope Francis said
during his September 2 weekly General Audience in the Vatican's San Damaso courtyard
where it is now being held due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
The pope called Georges Breidi, a student priest-member of the Lebanese Maronite
Missionary Congregation with a flag of his country to stand next to him.
Quoting St. John Paul II, the pope said, "Before all the dramas that each inhabitant of this
country knows, we are aware of the extreme danger that threatens the very existence of
the country."
"Lebanon cannot be abandoned in its solitude" Francis said holding the corner of the
Lebanese flag, expressing his admiration for the people's faith in God.
Even during the "darkest moments of their history," the Lebanese kept their faith in God, he
said, commending them for "demonstrating their ability to make their country a land of
tolerance, of respect, of coexistence".
"Lebanon is a message of freedom, it's an example of pluralism for both the East and the
West," the pope said. "For the good of the country and the world, we cannot let this legacy
be lost".
Pope Francis encouraged "all Lebanese to persevere in hope and to summon the strength
and energy needed to start anew."
He urged "political and religious leaders to commit themselves with sincerity and openness
to the work of rebuilding, setting aside all partisan interests and looking to the common
good and the future of the nation".
He pleaded with "the international community to support Lebanon and to help it emerge
from this grave crisis, without becoming caught up in regional tensions".
He also exhorted the people of Lebanon to "not abandon the dreams of those who believed
in the dawn of a beautiful and prosperous country."
He urged the nation's Church leaders to work for harmony and the common good.
"This will prove a sure basis for the continuity of the Christian presence and your own
inestimable contribution to the country, the Arab world and the whole region, in a spirit of
fraternity among all the religious traditions present in Lebanon", he said.
Pope Francis invited "everyone to join in a universal day of prayer and fasting for Lebanon
on Friday, September 4".
Francis also invited other Christian Churches and religious traditions to join in this initiative
in a manner they deem appropriate.
He said he intends to send Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin to Lebanon that
day as an expression of his "spiritual closeness and solidarity" with the Lebanese people.
On August 4 an explosion, caused by tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse in
the Beirut port, damaged half the city, killed 196 people, wounded 6,000 others and left
300,000 people instantly homeless. The explosion was the equivalent of a magnitude 3.3
earthquake.
But even before the explosion, Lebanon was already on the verge of a humanitarian crisis.
Lebanon's worst financial crisis in which the Lebanese pound has lost more than 80 percent
of its value in the past eight months led to about 45 percent of Lebanon's population now
living below the poverty line. Tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs or seen
salaries slashed.
The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the economic problems.
Lebanon is also mired in a political crisis, with the country since late 2019 witnessing mass
protests against the government seen as corrupt.
Reach for the diary! Grapevine is back from holiday, and things are getting busy already. In September we enter the Season of Creation, a wave of prayer for the living Earth observed each year by churches worldwide. It starts next Tuesday with a 'Day of Prayer for Creation', called by Pope Francis for 1 September every year. We’ve gathered some ideas for how you and your parish can take part - including some prayers you might like to use at home or at Mass. We've got a second workshop on 9 September to 'prepare the future' of outreach. And make a note to join us on 7 November, a day to celebrate and develop missionary discipleship through social action all across our diocese. Find out below how you can be part of it.

• Christian Climate Conference: Young people from churches in Leicestershire are hosting a virtual climate conference on 5 September - all ages invited.
• Care of the Heart Space on 9 September with Sister Zoë Leadbetter: How is God calling each of us as individuals and as communities to act for the environment and how should we respond? Sr Zoe also offers a workshop on 23 September exploring 'Justice, Jubilee, and looking to COP 26', the crucial global climate summit which was postponed from this November.
And there are many other resources, including liturgies, study guides, and ideas for clergy, listed here.
For this living world and all that dwell in it. May we cherish the life of our common home, and learn to share this holy ground of Earth with all that God has made.
5 and 6 September
For all who live in our time of ecological crisis. May we strive to set Creation free from its suffering, and be reconciled with the Creator who longs to restore us to himself.
12 and 13 September
For the generations who will be our descendants. By God's grace may we be inspired to a change of life, and so earn their forgiveness for the debt we have come to owe.
19 and 20 September
For our leaders of business and government, that they may build an economy which safeguards the Earth; and for the poor, who are the true heirs to God’s kingdom.
26 and 27 September
For the nations most at risk from climate change: those who live close to the land, environmental refugees, and all God’s creatures; and for those whose lives are complicit in their suffering.
3 and 4 October
Caritas is coming! Saturday 7 November God is love, and he calls us to love, generously and joyfully. Here in the Diocese of Nottingham an opportunity is emerging to respond to that call afresh.
Nottingham Diocese is on the way to becoming part of the global Caritas network—and if you are a parishioner here, you will be part of it too. Caritas is the Church's ministry of charity, and the second biggest humanitarian network in the world. For all who work to safeguard our common home of Earth, in government, industry and the family: that we may grow in love, solidarity and compassion for the poor, future generations, and the countless other creatures with which we share this world. Caritas in the Diocese of Nottingham is being developed by the Justice and Peace Commission, but dozens of parishioners around the diocese are already working with us. Caritas will help all of us bring to life Jesus' call to live out the Gospel as missionary disciples. Click the image right to download your invitation.
Better still, come to our event on Saturday 7 November to find out more - especially if Caritas is new to you, or you're seeking new ways to live your faith in these challenging times. Together we'll:
• nourish the work we do for the common good
• be inspired for the adventure of missionary discipleship
• build our parishes as confident, outward-looking communities
• make common cause and achieve more together.
This opportunity to get involved was postponed from 28 March, at the start of lockdown, and will probably be held online. Read about our early plans for the day here. If you'd like to be kept informed of plans, sign up below for updates and we'll keep you posted.
And finally while you've got your diary, four other events you
may be interested in, exploring new directions for the Church after Covid-19:
