early during pregnancy or adoption.
Anointing of the

Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin,
September 7, 2025
Everyone of you who does not
renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple. LUKE 14:33 When we first
hear this statement, it seems that Jesus is making an unrealistic demand upon
us. How can we renounce all of our possessions? We need them to live. However,
what we must renounce is the belief that they belong to us. Everything that we
have belongs to God alone. All of our resources are entrusted to us not only
for our own use, but also so that we can help others. Once we renounce the idea
that we possess or are entitled to anything, it is much easier to share the
many gifts that God has given us. Then we truly are His Disciples.

[Jesus] turned and said to them, Whoever

Ponder: What
does it mean to be a follower of Christ?

your call with courage, love, and humility.
Practice: With a grateful heart I will commit to do some form of

Ponder: Why
is it difficult for me to love my enemies?
Prayer: Lord,
I am grateful that you know my heart. Guide me along your everlasting way of
trust, generosity, and unconditional love.
Practice: With
a grateful heart I will do a good deed in secret.

Do Something
Beautiful for God The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
September 5 The reason I was given the Nobel Prize was because of the
poor. The prize, however, went beyond appearances. In fact, it awakened
consciences in favor of the poor all over the world. It became a sort of
reminder that the poor are our brothers and sisters, and that we have the duty
to treat them with love.
September 6 We care for thousands of lepers. They are among the most
unwanted, unloved, and neglected people. The other day one of our sisters was
washing a leper covered with sores. A Muslim holy man was present, standing
lose to her. He said, All these years I have believed that Jesus Christ is a
prophet. Today I believe that Jesus Christ is God since He has been able to
give such joy to this sister, so that she can do her work with so much love.
September 7 - Sometimes people are hungry for more than bread. It is possible
that our children, our husband, our wife do not hunger for bread, do not need
clothes, do not lack a house. But are we equally sure
that they do not feel alone, abandoned, neglected, or in need of some
affection?
September 8 Give Jesus a big smile each time your nothingness frightens
you. Just keep the joy of Jesus as your strength-be happy and at peace, accept
whatever He gives or takes with a big smile.
September 9 At the very beginning, after leaving my convent at Loreto,
when I arrived in Calcutta, I was alone. I had only a box and five rupees. A
man from Air India wanted to give me a nice suitcase to carry the few things I
had with me. I said to him, There is no shame in carrying a cardboard box.
But there is no shame in asking when we need guidance or help.
September 10 You are the future of family life. You are the future of the
joy of loving. You are the future of making your life something beautiful for
God
That you love a girl or that you love a boy is beautiful, but dont spoil
it, dont destroy it. Ask God to guide you in your love.
September 11 I heard the Pope John Paul II speak about peace, and one
thing he said was this: No to violence and yes to peace. What is violence? In
the first place, we think of weapons, knives, killings. We never think of
connecting violence with our tongues. But the first weapon, the cruelest
weapon, is the tongue. Examine what part your tongue has played in creating
peace or violence. We can really wound a person, we can kill a person, with our
tongue.
