TRANSCRIPT
Twenty Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time ∎ St. Joseph’s Parish Bulletin – September 21/22, 2019
ONE-SIDEDNESS On one hand, there seems to appear a great blessedness when the steward implements skills like kindness and prudence, deals intelligently, and does more in less time. Yet, on the other hand, he still undermines the wishes and desires of the master. How do I see this in my life? In my relationship with Christ and his Church, do I recognize the great blessedness in possessing a love for God and in putting my skills, talents and gifts to use solely for God’s glory and the establishment of his Kingdom? Does everything I do, ranging from conducting a family activity to receiving a phone call in the office or going to a party, have this unifying drive for God’s glory and the establishment of his Kingdom? CONVERSATION WITH CHRIST Thank you, Divine Master, for sharing with me briefly an important lesson in becoming a true follower of yours and becoming truly happy in the depths of my heart. Help me to raise my heart high, as I endeavor to praise you by my thoughts, words and deeds. RESOLUTION Today, as I deal with someone, I will truly look for their benefit by helping them and being kind to them. (Regnum Christi)

DISHONEST STEWARD
Jesus based his parables on real-life, and possibly historical situations. He often added a small twist in the story: something that did not make sense from a human point of view. In today's Gospel he praises a man who is openly a crook. A manager or steward is about to be fired from his job. Realizing that he has little prospect of being hired again, he conspires to rob from his employer. He uses his authority to
reduce debts owed to the master, thinking that the debtors will show him gratitude later. Jesus and the employer praise this unscrupulous action? Why? Because it portrays the virtue of prudence, planning ahead. Christ implies that Christians often fail to practice foresight in thinking of their future life. We do not take heaven into account, when we plan our daily lives. Do you? (Fr. R. Lonsdale)

Vespers - the Evening Prayer of the Church
By the venerable tradition of the universal Church, Lauds as Morning Prayer and Vespers as evening prayer are the two hinges on which the daily Office turns; hence they are to be considered as the chief Hours and are to be celebrated as such.
Vespers is celebrated in the evening when the day is drawing to a close, so that ‘we may give thanks for what has been given us during the day, or for the things we have done well during it’. We also call to mind our redemption, through the prayer we offer ‘like incense in the sight of the Lord’, and in which ‘the raising up of our hands’ becomes ‘an evening sacrifice’. This ‘evening sacrifice’ ‘may be more fully understood as that true evening sacrifice which was given in the evening by our Lord and Saviour when he instituted the most holy mysteries of the Church at supper with his apostles; or which on the following day he offered for all time to his Father by the raising up of his hands for the salvation of the whole world.’ Placing our hope in that Sun which never sets, ‘we pray and beg that his light may shine on us again; we pray that Christ may come bringing the grace of eternal light’. Finally, in this Hour, we join with the Eastern Churches and invoke ‘blessed Jesus Christ, the Light of our Heavenly Father’s sacred and eternal glory; as the sun sets we behold the evening light and sing to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit…’. - The General Instruction on the Liturgy of the Hours
St. Joseph’s Church invites you to a sung vespers and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday, September 26 at 7 to 8 PM.
