Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
September 2, 2001
The Sacrament of the Eucharist is celebrated daily in the chapel; it is located to the rear of the upper left side of the church at the second door, marked Chapel. The Eucharist is canceled on the day on which a funeral is scheduled. Be aware of the street sweeping signs. The weather, over which we have no control, changes sometimes unpredictably. Wisdom, therefore, must guide your entering the church grounds for whatever reason; this is always at your own risk. Confessions are heard before the celebration of the Eucharist.

Commentary on this Sunday's Study Epistle: Acts: 21:33-40
Paul spoke both Greek and Hebrew (more precisely Aramaic, the Semitic tongue in common use. The fact that the Roman commander permitted Paul to speak to the Jews shows that this commander did not regard Paul as an enemy of the Romans.

Bible Trivia. Deuteronomy 4. What three cities did Moses set apart in the region east of the Jordan so that a homicide might take refuge there if he unwittingly and without malice killed his neighbor?
Answer to last week's question: "You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice……You saw no form at all on the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire…….Out of the heavens he let you hear his voice to discipline you; on earth he let you see his great fire, and you heard him speaking out of the fire." Deuteronomy 4:12, 15, 36.

September 8th - The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.
We do not know for certain where Mary was born.
Various traditions place her birth in Nazareth, Sepphoris, Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
One legend selects Sepphoris, the capital of Galilee, four miles north of Nazareth. This legend states that Joachim and Anna, the parents of Mary, lived in Sepphoris at one time.
According to Josephus, Sepphoris was "the ornament of all Galilee" and the busy, bustling capital of Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great. This Herod Antipas was the political sovereign of Jesus, the man who executed John the Baptist, the one who played a role at the trial of Jesus on Good Friday.
Nazareth had a population of 400 people and Sepphoris 30,000.
We find the names of Joachim and Anna in The Infancy Gospel of James. This gospel, probably written by a Gentile, could not have been written before A.D. 150. In this gospel, Mary is 12 when she is betrothed to Joseph.
Early manuscripts of this gospel exist in Greek, Syriac, Armenian, Ethiopic, Georgian and Slavonic. There are more than 130 extant Greek manuscripts.
The Church customarily remembers the saint on the day of his death. There are two exceptions: Mary, immaculate from the first moment of her conception, and John the Baptist, freed from original sin before his birth.
