Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary TimeThis Sunday's Gospel continues from this past week's chastisement of the pharisees and scribes by Jesus Christ. The pharisees and scribes were attempting to make good on the promises of Israel, but unfortunately started to fall into duplicity and eventually interior spiritual corruption. Fellow sinners, we too can fall into a similar lifestyle without the power of the Holy Spirit enlightening and sustaining our every breath and step. May God continue to lead us in courage and faith!                                                             Mission 2911We ask you, Oh Blessed Virgin Mary to intercede on our behalf so that St.Simon the Apostle parish and school can continue to be a source ofevangelization, service, and witness of God’s love to the world. Through thehelp of God’s grace, may we continue to thrive in offering high qualityeducation, catechesis, moral development, and personal spiritual growth toour children, faithful parishioners, and to visitors near and far. May St. Simonthe Apostle parish and school be a source of welcome and invitation tofollow the Lord’s will wherever He may call. We ask you almighty God to fillFr. Hogan, the St. Simon the Apostle leadership team, and the Archdiocese ofSt. Louis with wisdom and understanding to help discern God's plan for all ofus. May we be receptive and cooperative to the Lord’s promptings andrespond therefore in courage and faith. Amen.Scripture Readings for September 1, 2024Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8Psalm 15:2-5James 1:17-18, 21-22, 27Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23
