How to celebrate Sep 3rd
o
As the day progresses, why not dedicate some time to organizing a closet or
space in your home for National
Another Look Unlimited Day? Take out those items that have been gathering
dust and give them a new lease on life by incorporating them back into your
wardrobe or decor. Not only will this help declutter your space, but it will
also make you feel accomplished and refreshed.
o
For a bit of friendly competition,
consider hitting the lanes for US Bowling
League Day. Gather a group of friends or family members and head to your
local bowling alley for a few games. Don’t worry too much about scores; the aim
is to have a blast and enjoy each other’s company. Plus, most bowling alleys
offer budget-friendly deals during the day.
o
To honor Merchant Navy Day,
why not indulge in some maritime-inspired activities? Head to a body of water
if you can and spend some time soaking in the tranquil surroundings. You could
also whip up a seafood dish for dinner or indulge in some fish and chips for a
taste of the sea.
o
As the day draws to a close, celebrate National Skyscraper
Day by taking a virtual tour of some of the world’s tallest buildings. Many
famous skyscrapers offer online tours or live streams, allowing you to marvel
at their architecture and history from the comfort of your home. Alternatively,
try your hand at building a mini skyscraper with materials you have on hand,
like playing cards or blocks.
o
Finally, end your day on a cozy note with a warm
and comforting dish like Welsh rarebit in honor of National Welsh
Rarebit Day. This simple yet delicious dish is perfect for a relaxing
evening in, enjoyed with a movie or a good book.
o
With a bit of creativity and a willingness to embrace the unexpected, you can
turn a seemingly ordinary day into a fun and memorable celebration of these
unique national holidays.

Proverbs, Chapter 23, Verse 17-18
17
Do not let your heart envy sinners, but only those who
always FEAR the LORD; 18 For you will surely
have a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Those
whom one admires or associates with exercise enormous influence. Do not join
the wicked, who are a doomed group.[1]
Nor desire to be with them for the mind is a terrible thing to waste. Let your
hope be in Christ.

Be
careful of your thoughts; they may break into words at any time.

Don’t
waste your thoughts on those who don’t hunger for them.
4.
The
first person you lead is you, and the first organ you master is your mind.
5.
Don’t
let your mind drift away from God’s truth and into
vain envy.

Stay
confident that your vision will come to pass.
7.
Discipline
your thoughts to remain steadfast in what you know is right.
St. Gregory the Great’s 30 Masses[3]
The history of the “Thirty Mass” practice goes back to the year 590 A.D. in St. Andrew’s Monastery in Rome, founded by St. Gregory the Great in his own family villa around 570. It is now known as the Monastery of St. Gregory the Great. The account of the incident which gave rise to it is recounted by St. Gregory himself in his Dialogues.
After his election as Pope in 590, one of the monks, Justus by name, became ill. So he admitted to a lay friend, Copiosus, that he had hidden three gold pieces among his medications years before, when he was professed a monk. Both, in fact, were former physicians. And sure enough, the other monks found the gold when seeking the medication for Justus.
The founder and former abbot of the monastery, now Pope Gregory, hearing of this scandalous sin against the monastic Rule, called in the new Abbot of his beloved monastery, and ordered the penalty of solitary confinement for Justus, even though he was dying, and ordered that his burial not be in the cemetery but in the garbage dump. Copiosus told his wretched friend of this decision. Moreover, the community were to recite over his dreadful grave the words of St. Peter to Simon the Magician: “May your money perish with you” (Acts 8:20).
Let us pray here for all the Bishops and Priest who chose Gold over the Eucharist in response to the COVID 19 and the new world religion.
The Pope’s desired result was achieved: Justus made a serious repentance, and all the monks a serious examination of conscience. Justus then died, but the matter did not, for thirty days later Pope Gregory returned to the monastery filled with concern for Justus, who would now be suffering the grim temporal punishment of Purgatory’s fire for his sins. “We must,” said Gregory to the Abbot, “come by charity to his aid, and as far as possible help him to escape this chastisement. Go and arrange thirty Masses for his soul, so that for thirty consecutive days the Saving Victim is immolated for him without fail.” And so, it was done.
Some days later, the deceased monk, Justus, appeared in a vision to his friend Copiosus and said, “I have just received the Communion pardon and release from Purgatory because of the Masses said for me.” The monks did a calculation and noted that it was exactly thirty days since the thirty Masses had begun for Justus. They shared this great consolation with each other, with their Abbott and with Pope Gregory. The Pope included a full account of this episode.

Day

571 The Paschal mystery of Christ's cross and Resurrection stands at the centre of the Good News that the apostles, and the Church following them, are to proclaim to the world. God's saving plan was accomplished "once for all" by the redemptive death of his Son Jesus Christ.
572 The Church remains faithful
to the interpretation of "all the Scriptures" that Jesus gave both
before and after his Passover: "Was it not necessary that the Christ
should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" Jesus' sufferings
took their historical, concrete form from the fact that he was "rejected
by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes", who handed "him
to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified".
573 Faith can therefore try to
examine the circumstances of Jesus' death, faithfully handed on by the
Gospels and illuminated by other historical sources, the better to
understand the meaning of the Redemption.
Paragraph 1. JESUS AND ISRAEL
574 From the beginning of
Jesus' public ministry, certain Pharisees and partisans of Herod together with
priests and scribes agreed together to destroy him. Because of certain
acts of his expelling demons, forgiving sins, healing on the sabbath day, his
novel interpretation of the precepts of the Law regarding purity, and his
familiarity with tax collectors and public sinners--some ill-intentioned
persons suspected Jesus of demonic possession. He is accused of blasphemy
and false prophecy, religious crimes which the Law punished with death by
stoning.
575 Many of Jesus' deeds and
words constituted a "sign of contradiction", but more so for the
religious authorities in Jerusalem, whom the Gospel according to John often
calls simply "the Jews", than for the ordinary People of
God. To be sure, Christ's relations with the Pharisees were not
exclusively polemical. Some Pharisees warn him of the danger he was
courting; Jesus praises some of them, like the scribe of Mark 12:34, and
dines several times at their homes. Jesus endorses some of the teachings
imparted by this religious elite of God's people: the resurrection of the
dead, certain forms of piety (almsgiving, fasting and prayer), The
custom of addressing God as Father, and the centrality of the commandment to
love God and neighbor.
576 In the eyes of many in
Israel, Jesus seems to be acting against essential institutions of the Chosen
People: - submission to the whole of the Law in its written commandments and,
for the Pharisees, in the interpretation of oral tradition; - the centrality of
the Temple at Jerusalem as the holy place where God's presence dwells in a
special way; - faith in the one God whose glory no man can share.
