SUMMARY:Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Trust\, dialogue and communication are of the utmost importance to exercising this freedom. Freedom exercised in this responsible manner will enhance the quality of obedience as the religious grows from a more external submission to authority to a healthier sense of co-responsibility for the work and well-being of the Congregation.” (Con. 156) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Henry Jasinski\, 1958\, De Kalb\, USA\nFr. Edward Gira\, 1971\, Chicago\, USA\nFr. Charles Westfall\, 2012\, Hamilton\, Canada \n  \nBirthday:\nFr. Andrzej Lewandowski\, 1958\, USA \n  \n\nFor the conversion of sinners\, and for all in affliction\, temptation and agony.\nFor all families\, especially those families struggling to survive.\nFor all local superiors and house councils.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“The Founders’ view of the importance and the role of prayer is set down in ‘The Rule of 1850’: ‘The Brothers must realize that the total perfection of religious life consists in tending to a most intimate union with God by love. The necessary means of attaining this end is prayer\, for God’s grace depends on prayer\, and grace alone leads to this intimate union with God through love.’” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 37)

SUMMARY:St. Peter Claver
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Let there be unity of heart and mind between a religious and those in authority. This union implies a common responsibility for the present and future good of the Congregation. Unity promotes the exercise of fraternal correction and prevents fear and human respect from deterring a religious from sharing with his brother and\, if necessary\, with the proper authorities his certain knowledge of serious defects in one of his confreres.” (Con. 157) \n  \nFirst Vows:\nBr. Nucinaldo Bezerra de Arruda\, 2011\, Brazil \n  \n\nFor fidelity to our charism and religious vows\, and for the spirit of the resurrection.\nFor couples and families who face difficulties in their relationship.\nThat the missionary zeal of St. Peter Claver may inspire us to ever greater service in the name of the Risen Lord.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“Let us underscore again how important it is that candidates build a personal relationship between themselves and God. It needs to be a relationship based on an experience of God’s love for them.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 42)

SUMMARY:September 10
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“A religious will make the greatest progress in personal growth where there is trust and respect among all the members. This trust and respect is strengthened by encouragement and acceptance and is motivated by truth and charity. Love flowing from truth will be the predominant force of the entire formation process.” (Con. 158) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Adolf Roznicki\, 1932\, Stara Zagora\, Bulgaria \n  \nBirthday:\nFr. Jan Kanty Kaczmarek\, 1976\, Poland \n  \n\nFor the Church\, for our Holy Father and for our local ordinary.\nFor students\, teachers and support staff as they begin a new school year.\nFor our members in long-term care.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“We need to remind ourselves frequently of God’s pleasure in creating and\, in particular\, His pleasure in creating us.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 43)

SUMMARY:September 11
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“The goal of the post-Novitiate formation is the personal development of the whole man: to help him grow in Christian maturity by becoming more aware of his sinfulness and Gods’ manifest love\, to help him deepen his vowed commitment to the Risen Christ\, to help him adapt his personal life in order to strengthen common life and to help him develop his gifts and talents so that he may use them in the apostolic work of the Congregation.” (Con. 162) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Pawel Smolikowski\, 1926\, Krakow\, Poland \n  \nBirthday:\nBr. Piotr Baran\, 1979\, Poland \n  \n\nFor our Congregation and our superiors and for vocations to our Congregation.\nFor the gift of healing for those who are sick: Resurrectionists\, family\, friends and benefactors.\nFor an end to violence and acts of terror.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“A person comes into existence apart from any decisions or power on his part. His existence is a deliberative wish of God.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 45)

SUMMARY:The Most Holy Name of Mary
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Spiritual formation continues along the lines laid out in the Novitiate program: a deepening awareness of the life and works of the Founders\, a growing union with the Risen Christ through prayer and the exercise of fraternal charity in living the common life in simplicity\, and an increasingly self-disciplined life based on the Gospel which witnesses to the death and resurrection of Christ.” (Con. 163) \n  \nDeceased:\nDeacon Bartlomiej Morawiec\, 1903\, Adrianople\, Bulgaria\nFr. Teodor Dembinski\, 1928\, Siemianowice\, Poland \n  \n\nFor our country\, for civil rulers and for peace in the world.\nFor our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters.\nThat the Holy Name of Mary may offer us protection.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“Worship is not only the truest prayer; it is also the basis of all prayer. … Worship prepares us for the whole range of prayer\, it also leads us to spiritual freedom in general.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 45)

SUMMARY:St. John Chrysostom
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Doctrinal formation continues through growth in the personal assimilation of the mysteries of faith and in the ability to communicate these mysteries in terms understandable to the culture and the times.” (Con. 164) \n  \nDeceased:\nFr. Aloysius Orzechowski\, 1998\, Chicago\, USA \n  \n\nFor our parents\, relatives\, friends and benefactors\, and for those who have recommended themselves to our prayers.\nFor couples preparing for marriage.\nJohn Chrysostom was known for his great preaching and teaching\, may we be graced to follow his example in our proclamation of faith.\n\n  \nFURTHER REFLECTION: \n“A person begins life with nothing of their own making\, and what they later possess is not something they have totally earned or deserved. He has it primarily because God wished them to have it.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality\, 46)

SUMMARY:Sts. Cornelius and Cyprian
DESCRIPTION:FOCAL POINT: \n“Those responsible for formation will be careful to respect the human dignity and the special divine vocation of persons entrusted to their care.
