26 Sunday of Ordinary Time - September 25
Jesus said to the Pharisees: "There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.' Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.' He said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.' But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"

A special note about your Sunday offertory:
As always, we depend on your weekly offertory to make these essential ministries and activities happen. We still need your continued donations. Further, if you are blessed to be able to offer more than normal, your help is needed now. We urge all parishioners to move to online giving to sustain our Church. It allows you to make your donations via your smart device or computer. You can contribute using direct withdrawal (ACH) or credit cards. There is no need to contact your bank or the parish office. The payments are flexible; you can start, stop, and change your contributions at any time. The web site adheres to banking security standards.
To give online, visit our church web site at www.corpuschristicarolstream.org, and on the homepage, click on “E-Contribution” at the top of the page for a one-time donation, or click on “Set Up Regular Contributions” for recurring donations. Signing up for recurring donations will ensure that the parish can continue its ministry efforts during this difficult time.

Spiritual Communion An act of Spiritual Communion can help in our current situation. It can be prayed at Communion time while watching Mass on an electronic device, or any time during the day when you especially want to be united with the Lord. All that is required is an expression of contrition/sorrow for sin made before inviting the Lord into your heart through this prayer of spiritual communion:My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
