Psalm 95
“O that today you would listen to the voice of the Lord. Do not harden your hearts.”
We sing two sections of this psalm that are a call to worship God. It’s because of this invitation to prayer that the Liturgy of the Hours will often begin with this psalm.
The third segment refers to an incident in the history of the Exodus. The psalm warns against stubborn disobedience to God’s Word. Meribah and Massah refer to two names for the place where thirsty Israelites rebelled against the Lord after leaving Egypt. (For more info please refer to Exodus, chapters 14 to 16).
The psalm encourages us to hear God’s Word in the readings of today and to accept and follow God’s law of Love. We are asked to listen to God, to listen to the voice of the Lord. Not the voice of a hard taskmaster, but that of a tender loving merciful Father and Mother.
Registration for children planning to receive the Sacraments of First Communion, Reconciliation or Confirmation in 2027 can now be done at the parish office. Baptismal certificates are required to register for First Communion and Confirmation
Registration forms for the Children’s Faith Program are available in the parish office. This program is for children of the Parish who attend other Catholic schools, public or private schools.

At the 10:30 AM Mass from mid-September to June each year, children ages 4 to 10 have the opportunity to gather as a group for the Liturgy of the Word led by adults with students assisting. We are in need of more student volunteers to assist this program. For more information or to volunteer, please call Dawn Burke at 416 671-0561 or leave a message at the Parish Office

Beginning the Week of October 5th, 2026
Grief is part of the human experience. At different moments in our lives, we may face the pain of losing a loved one, changes in our health or relationships, separation, or transitions that alter the way we live. These experiences can deeply affect our hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits.
The death of someone we love is especially painful. After a significant loss, we may experience many emotions, including sadness, shock, anger, loneliness, or guilt. At times, the journey through grief can feel overwhelming. Yet, healing often begins when we are able to share our sorrow with others who understand and walk alongside us with compassion and hope.
Last September, our Palliative Care and Bereavement Ministry Team (PCBM) launched the first Small Bereavement Support Groups. These groups offer a safe, caring, and confidential space for individuals to explore their grief journey in the company of others who have experienced a similar loss. The groups are small, closed-membership groups of approximately 5–8 participants and are guided by trained PCBM facilitators. Participants are grouped according to similar experiences of loss, such as the death of a spouse, parent, child, and sibling.
The Small Bereavement Support Groups are scheduled to begin during the week of October 5th, 2026, and will run for 7 weeks.
If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Louise Galego and Nadine Altay via the email address: bereavement@stgabrielsparish.ca
Alternatively, you may also contact the parish office at 416-221-8866 to leave your name and telephone number.
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, September 15th, 2026

Psalm 89
Today, the psalm responds to a story from the Book of Kings.
The wealthy woman of Shunem offered hospitality to the prophet Elisha. In return for her kindness, Elisha prophesied that she would have a son, even though her husband was old.
Once again, in this psalm we find that word “steadfast”: resolute, firm, dutiful, unwavering. A warrior who stands their ground.
The love of God cannot be denied, removed, lost or come to an end. From all eternity, God has loved us, all people of all time, all of God’s creation. It is a humbling and also an uplifting thought that we have existed forever in the mind of God, in the love of God. God’s love is accepting at all times, in all places, is always given freely.

Your support of ShareLife connects young parents with necessary resources
Three months after welcoming her baby, young mother Annie was overwhelmed—physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and feeling completely alone. Thanks to you, she found Vita Centre, a Catholic Charities agency you support through ShareLife, where young parents receive counselling, education, and a supportive community to navigate life’s challenges.
Counselling and practical programs became her lifeline. Today, with renewed confidence and a sense of possibility, she is considering going back to school. You made this possible. You can help young mothers like Annie find hope, healing, and a brighter future.
Please give at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at www.sharelife.org/.

Psalm 69
This lengthier psalm is a song of lament. The speaker seeks deliverance and relief from persecution and suffering.
Our liturgy selects a few lines from the psalm which emphasize God’s faithful and steadfast love towards the speaker who represents all people and all of creation.
Several lines in this poem find direct echoes in the Gospel. Today’s psalm responds to the first reading from Jeremiah, the prophet denounced by so many: yet the Lord is with him “like a dread warrior”.
These words from this song can be our prayer.
“With your steadfast help, rescue me. Answer me, O Lord, for your steadfast love is good; According to your abundant mercy, turn to me.”
Steadfast? An ancient word speaking of complete reliability, unswerving loyalty, unmovable hope.
Registration forms for the Children’s Faith Program are now available in the parish office. This program is for children of the Parish who attend other Catholic schools, public or private schools. Classes are held at St. Gabriel’s School, generally every other Sunday morning from September to April.

These forms are also available in the Parish Office. Baptismal certificates are required for First Communion and Confirmation.
Pope Leo XIV has released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), reflecting on human dignity, Christian solidarity, and the moral challenges of our modern age — including the growing influence of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. The Holy Father calls on all of humanity to ensure that technological progress always serves the human person and the common good.
Parishioners are encouraged to read and pray with this important new teaching document in the weeks ahead. The full text is available through the Archdiocese of Toronto website at: www.archtoronto.org or through the Vatican website at: www.vatican.va

Psalm 100
This psalm of praise is a favourite. As the “Old Hundredth” it appears in several long-popular hymns: All People That On Earth Do Dwell, Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow, among others.
As today’s Responsorial Psalm, it sings the praise of God in answer to the reading from Exodus in which God takes Israel, that is all of Creation, as God’s treasured possession. Entirely inspiring and hope-filled words of Scripture.
In the opening lines, this psalm teaches us what our attitude should be when we approach God, when we pray, and when we become aware of God’s constant presence. The answer: with joy, gladness, singing, thanksgiving, praise, thanks and blessing. Not a word about fear.
Why sing the praise of God?
“For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”
“Old Hundredth” was the first work transmitted by telephone during Graham Bell’s first demo at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (Boston, May 10, 1876)…(Wikipedia) I.e., just about exactly 150 years ago.
Your gift to ShareLife encourages inclusion and belonging
For John, life raising two Deaf sons has been filled with love—but also deep fears. He’s watched them struggle in a world that often overlooks and isolates them. With your gift to ShareLife, families like his have found hope and belonging through life-changing support in a welcoming American Sign Language environment—something still out of reach for too many others.
Silent Voice Canada, a Catholic Charities agency you support through ShareLife, facilitates connection and provides family-based resources that combat isolation, remove barriers, enhance skills, and encourage inclusion and belonging.
Your generous heart helped shape the future for John and his sons—giving them courage, a sense of belonging, and the opportunity to embrace all that life has to offer.
You can continue to uplift Deaf children and their parents, providing them with the confidence to see themselves as capable, strong, and full of potential.
Please give at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate.

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, Psalm 147
Praise for God who does us good.
Psalm 147 really consists of two psalms. It’s the second part that we sing in today’s liturgy as the Responsorial Psalm to the Reading from the Book of Deuteronomy. That reading presents a summary of the ways that God led his People through deserts to the Promised Land. And how God fed the people with manna which prefigures God feeding us with God’s Holy Bread, nourishment for our life in God.
Praise the Lord. Praise your God. For he blesses your children within you. He grants peace within your borders. He fills you with the finest of wheat.
And so in these first two Sunday liturgies after the Easter season, we celebrate first the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity – this revelation into the very nature of God which is so central to our faith . And today we celebrate the mystery of Jesus leaving us his presence as food for our life in God, in God’s Holy Bread and Holy Wine.
