Heavenly Father, We could never thank our military men and women enough for their cou-rageous service and sacrifice to our country
and its people. Show us ways in our communities, churches, and families to thank
and love them better. Keep and protect these heroes and their families,
Pope Francis will declare Mother Teresa a saint Next Weekend, September 4, 2016. The tiny woman who began her work with a call from God left a worldwide legacy that touched the lives of mil-lions. However, she had
only one focus: to serve God. On September 4, 2016 we will be handing out St. Teresa of Kolkata prayer cards.
It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with himself.
Blessed Teresa

HUMILITY
Have you ever been in a group of people—maybe on a tour, at a social gathering, or at church—and discovered that you have just been talking with a well-known author, corporate CEO, great scholar, or politician? Your first thought is the hope that you didn’t say anything to embarrass yourself; but your second thought is how much they seemed like such “regular” folks. What is it that makes people seem so “regular”? Today’s readings give us a clue when they stress the importance of humility. It is so hard for us not to tell the first person who will listen how busy we are, how hard we work, how much money we donate, and how important our job titles are. We think these accolades make a differ-ence to people, and if we don’t tell them, how will they ever know? But if our actions demonstrate our values, people will recognize our worth on their own. The words of Jesus show us how much better it is to let someone else recognize our worth than to be em-barrassed because someone did not.
First Reading — Conduct your affairs with humility and God will favor you (Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29).
Psalm — God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor (Psalm 68).
Second Reading — You have approached Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant (Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a).
Gospel — When invited to dine, take the lowest place. Those who humble themselves will be exalted (Luke 14:1, 7-14).
NO SURPRISES
We are told by all spiritual writers that one im-portant point to bear in mind, as we seek to attain humility, is not to be surprised by our own faults and failures.

The Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of saints venerated together in Roman Catholicism
because their intercession is believed to be particularly effective, especially against various
diseases. This group of �othelfer ("helpers in need") originated in the 14th century at first in
the Rhineland, largely as a result of the epidemic (probably ofbubonic plague) that became known as
the Black Death.
