Plain Speaking – Part 2 On the day of judgment, it’s all going to come down to one simple matter: in your life

have you truly loved the Lord? Have you truly served Him as best you could, not perfectly of course, but truly to the best of your ability? How much time have you spent on your knees before Him? Have you truly longed to be in His presence? Is this what your life has been, or not? I say that it’s a simple matter because what is going to count on that Day is the general and not so much the particular. And by that I mean this. What I mean by the particulars of our lives, I mean each and every thing we did. Now among all of those, there are going to be individual acts of sin. We all have them. I don’t believe the Scriptures teach that on Judgment Day, the Lord is going to produce a moment by moment record of your entire life and then you and He are going to go over the whole thing item by item and that you’re going to explain to Him or give an account of literally each thing you did. It’s not as if He’s going to say, “okay, here, on June 23, 1983 at 11:14 in the morning, you said a cuss word. What do you have to say for yourself?” And then you proceed on to 11:15. It’s the general thing about you, the thing that motivated you, the thing you oriented your whole life around, the goal you set for yourself, the thing that mattered to you most, the thing you strived to have or to achieve. It was probably the same thing your entire life. Maybe it changed. But it’s the thing that you were so devoted to, the thing that most occupied your mind, the thing that took up most of your time, the thing that filled your life, whatever you were trying to use to fill that empty space in your soul that only God can fill. That’s what we’re going to be judged on the most intensely. It’s not simply having lots of money that draws the woe. What if your uncle leaves you a bundle in his will? Does that make you woeful? Not necessarily. What if someone is desperately trying to find money to get out of serious debt, and on a whim buys a lottery ticket, and then wins the $100 million jackpot. Is this the woeful type that Jesus is warning about? No. Usually, getting rich is not such an easy thing to do. It takes a tremendous amount of energy, know-how, hard work, diligence, perseverance and strength. If it didn’t, there’d be a lot more people rich people around. But getting rich, and staying rich consumes you in a sense. You may indeed get to a place where you’re rich, and full, and laughing contentedly. But when you come to the end of your life and look back, you’ll see that it’s all behind you and that there’s nothing good ahead of you. You tried to fill the void in your life with wealth and now it has left you empty. These blessings and woes challenge us today every bit as much as they challenged the first ones who heard Jesus preach this sermon. They challenge us to examine ourselves to see what motivates us, what drives us. Is there anything that is consuming us, that takes up most of our time, that occupies our mind, or that we are striving after. As we are getting nearer the season of Lent, we begin to prepare to look inward to see if we’re trying to fill that empty space with anything other than God Himself. Amen.

Hablando Claro – 2ª Parte En el día del juicio, todo se reducirá a un simple asunto: tu vida, ¿has amado realmente al Señor? ¿Realmente le has servido lo mejor que pudiste, no perfectamente, por supuesto, pero de la mejor manera posible? ¿Cuánto tiempo has pasado de rodillas ante Él? ¿Realmente has anhelado estar en Su presencia? ¿Es esto lo que ha sido tu vida, o no? Digo que es un asunto simple porque lo que contará ese Día es en general y no tanto en particular. Lo que quiero decir con los detalles de nuestras vidas, me refiero a todas y cada una de las cosas que hicimos. Ahora entre todos esos, habrá actos individuales de pecado. Todos los tenemos. No creo que las Escrituras enseñen que en el Día del Juicio Final, el Señor vaya a realizar un registro momento a momento de toda tu vida y luego tu y Él vayan a revisar todo el asunto elemento por elemento y que vayas a explicarle o dar cuenta, literalmente, de cada cosa que hiciste. No es como si fuera a decir, "está bien, aquí, el 23 de junio de 1983 a las 11:14 de la mañana, dijiste una mala palabra. ¿Qué tienes que decir al respecto? "Y luego procedes a las 11:15. Es lo general de ti, lo que te motivó, lo que orientó toda tu vida, el objetivo que te propusiste a ti mismo, lo que más te importó, lo que quisiste tener o lograr. Probablemente fue lo mismo tu vida entera. Quizás haya cambiado. Pero es a lo que estabas tan dedicado, lo que más ocupaba tu mente, lo que ocupaba la mayor parte de tu tiempo, lo que llenaba tu vida, lo que intentabas usar para llenar ese espacio vacío en tu alma que solo Dios puede llenar. Eso es de lo que vamos a ser juzgados más intensamente. No es simplemente tener un montón de dinero lo que atrae a la desgracia. ¿Qué pasa si tu tío te deja una fortuna en su testamento? ¿Eso te hace lamentable? No necesariamente. ¿Qué pasa si alguien está tratando desesperadamente de encontrar dinero para salir de una deuda seria, y por un capricho compra un boleto de lotería, y luego gana el premio mayor de $ 100 millones. ¿Es este el tipo lamentable del cual Jesús está advirtiendo? No. Generalmente, hacerse rico no es algo tan fácil. Se necesita una gran cantidad de energía, conocimiento, trabajo duro, diligencia, perseverancia y fuerza. Si no fuera así, habría mucha gente más rica alrededor. Pero hacerse rico y mantenerse rico te consume en cierto sentido. De hecho, puedes llegar a una posición en la que seas rico, pleno y rías de satisfacción. Pero cuando llegues al final de tu vida y mires atrás, verás que todo está detrás de ti y que no hay nada bueno por delante. Intentaste llenar el vacío de tu vida con riqueza y ahora te ha dejado vacío. Estas bendiciones y aflicciones nos desafían hoy tanto como desafiaron a los primeros que escucharon a Jesús predicar este sermón. Nos desafían a examinarnos a nosotros mismos para ver qué nos motiva, qué nos impulsa. ¿Hay algo que nos consume, que ocupa la mayor parte de nuestro tiempo, que ocupa nuestra mente o que estamos luchando por ello? A medida que nos acercamos a la temporada de Cuaresma, comencemos a prepararnos para mirar hacia adentro y ver si estamos tratando de llenar ese espacio vacío con algo más que Dios mismo. Amén. ¡Bendiciones!¡Bendiciones!¡Bendiciones!¡Bendiciones! En JesúsEn JesúsEn JesúsEn Jesús Padre DavidPadre DavidPadre DavidPadre David

serve, and then contact the head of the ministry; this information can be found on the front of the bulletin).

LECTORSWhelp facilitate the public prayer of the Church at all liturgies—both weekend and special events, through the proclamation of the Word. They study and practice the readings on Tuesday evenings

"BUSCANDO TU MINISTERIO"

(Cada semana, resaltaremos uno o varios ministerios dentro de la liturgia, la formación de fe, los servicios de la iglesia o la comunidad. Esperamos que oren para que Dios los ilumine y sepan a dónde los llama para servirle. Y luego se pongan en contacto con el coordinador del ministerio; esta información se puede encontrar en la portada del boletín).

LOS LECTORES... ayudan a facilitar la oración pública de la Iglesia en todas las liturgias, tanto del fin de semana como en eventos especiales, a través de la proclamación de la Palabra. Estudian y practican las lecturas los martes por la noche.

FUNERAL PLANNING SESSION There will be a funeral planning session this Wednesday, October 10th at 10 a.m. in the Fireplace Room. You can put your mind at ease knowing that this part will be prepared when you or a loved one dies. Your family will also benefit from it as they will know what your wishes were. We will cover the three stages: the Vigil/Wake, the Liturgy, and the Committal/Graveside. You will be directed in choosing readings and music, and completing the liturgy outline. We will also talk about cremation, eulogies, hospice care, and any other questions you may have. Please call Dorothy or Marta at the office (257-5961) to let us know you are coming so that we have enough packets prepared.

SESIÓN PARA PLANIFICAR SERVICIOS FUNERIOS Habrá una sesión de planificación funeral este miércoles, 10 de octubre a las 10 a.m. en la Sala de la chimenea. Para que esté tranquilo sabiendo que esta parte estará preparada cuando usted o un ser querido muera. Su familia también se beneficiará de ella, ya que sabrán cuáles fueron sus deseos. Cubriremos las tres etapas: la vigilia / velar, la liturgia y / sepultura. Se les ayudará a elegir las lecturas música, y completar el esquema de la liturgia. También hablaremos sobre la redacción de elogios, el cuidado de hospicio y cualquier otra pregunta que puedan tener.

Emergency appeal from Society of St Vincent de Paul Notre Dame You may have seen TV commercials about San Antonio Food Bank in need of food. Recovery from the strain on resources from Harvey last year has

been slow; this is now causing us to have food shortages in a lot of areas. If you could help, we need:

Soup, especially chicken noodle Jelly in a plastic container Canned beans, especially pork and beans and refried beans Breakfast cereal Regular spaghetti (no whole wheat or veggie)

Last month, we gave food to 2, 470 people. As October is the beginning of a new quarter, we expect more families needing food. Thank you.

This is the first of many communications in our bulletin for the upcoming On the Way-¡Ándale! Capital Campaign. This is an exciting time for our parish and parishes throughout the Archdiocese. This campaign will have a tremendous impact on the needs of our parish while also enabling our vibrant and growing Archdiocese to address the bright future of the Church in South Central Texas. Over the last few months, with the help of lay leadership at Notre Dame Catholic Church and the Archdiocese, we have identified our most pressing needs as a parish. We have chosen the following projects to accomplish with our share of the funds raised through our upcoming On the Way-¡Andale! Capital Campaign: Church Improvements We are in need of a study in order to improve our lighting and sound system so that the Word of God can be heard throughout the church. Other items in need of attention include remodeling the restrooms, painting of the interior spaces and refinishing the church pews. School Improvements The outdated air-conditioning equipment needs to be replaced to provide a more comfortable classroom environment for the students. The low roof on the gym building has many leaks and is in need of replacing. Social Center Improvements Upgrades to the Social Center would include enhancing the appearance of the facility by replacing dining room divider, kitchen window divider, replacing doors on the north side, new audio/video equipment for the Fireplace Room and much needed attention for the Men’s and Women’s bathrooms. These improvements will make the Social Center an even more welcoming and usable place where all may gather. Campus Security Improvements The security of our Parish Community is important. We would like to install security cameras and keyless door locks in selected locations and place signage to direct guests who visit Notre Dame Parish. with our share of the funds raised through our upcoming On the Way-¡Andale! Capital Campaign. The campaign will be led by Fr. David Wagner and David and Toni Wahrmund. Together, we have recruited a team of volunteers to assist with this important effort and to help prepare our campaign communication materials. We will be officially kicking off the On the Way-¡Andale! Capital Campaign at Masses on November 10-11, 2018. Please see the enclosed Capital Campaign Preview/Frequently Asked Questions brochure in today’s bulletin for more information and stay tuned for additional bulletin updates leading up to the kickoff!

Esta es la primera de muchas comunicaciones en nuestro boletín para la próxima Campaña de Capital On the Way - ¡Ándale!. Este es un momento emocionante para nuestra parroquia y para las demás parroquias en toda la Arquidiócesis. Esta campaña tendrá un tremendo impacto sobre las necesidades de nuestra parroquia, al tiempo que permitirá a nuestra ardiente y creciente Arquidiócesis incursionar en el brillante futuro de la Iglesia en el centro sur de Texas.

En los últimos meses, con la ayuda del liderazgo laical en Notre Dame y de la Arquidiócesis, hemos identificado nuestras necesidades más apremiantes como parroquia. Hemos elegido los siguientes proyectos para que se realicen con nuestra parte de los fondos recaudados a través de nuestra próxima campaña de capital, On the Way - ¡Andale! Mejoras de la Iglesia: Necesitamos un estudio para mejorar nuestro sistema de iluminación y sonido para que la Palabra de Dios se escuche en toda la iglesia. Otros asuntos que necesitan atención incluyen la remodelación de los baños, la pintura de los espacios interiores y el acabado de los bancos de la iglesia. Mejoras escolares: El equipo de aire acondicionado obsoleto necesita ser reemplazado, para proporcionar un ambiente de salón más cómodo para los estudiantes. El techo bajo en el edificio del gimnasio tiene muchas fugas y necesita ser reemplazado. Mejoras en el Centro Social: Las mejoras en el Centro Social incluirían mejorar la apariencia de las instalaciones al reemplazar el divisor del comedor, el divisor de la ventana de la cocina, el reemplazo de las puertas en el lado norte, el nuevo equipo de audio / video para la Sala de la Chimenea y la atención que tanto necesitan los baños de hombres y mujeres. Estas mejoras harán del Centro Social un lugar aún más acogedor y útil donde todos puedan reunirse. Mejoras en la seguridad del campus: La seguridad de nuestra comunidad parroquial es importante. Nos gustaría instalar cámaras de seguridad y cerraduras de puertas sin llave en lugares seleccionados y colocar carteles para dirigir a los huéspedes que visitan la parroquia de Notre Dame.

Ambo By Paul Turner

Ambo, lectern, pulpit-it goes by many names but it serves one purpose, to mount the Liturgy of the Word. In some denominations, the ambo dominates the worship space. Because the Bible alone governs their system of belief, they give its proclamation primacy of place in the arrangement of the sanctuary. In Catholic churches the altar typically dominates the sanctuary because our tradition has emphasized the Eucharist as the climax of our worship. However, this worthy emphasis sometimes caused us to slight the role of the word of God, and our ambos have suffered from sapless designs and insignificant placement. For centuries the priest used to read the Scriptures himself at the altar. Altars had an “epistle side” and a “Gospel side.” Now the Scriptures have their own place, the ambo. (In Greek the word originally referred to a platform or stage). The ambo’s specific purpose provides a place for the Scriptures, the responsorial psalm and the Easter proclamation (the Exsultet, proclaimed once a year, only at Easter Vigil). It may also be used for the homily and the general intercessions (the Prayer of the Faithful). But that’s it! It is not the place for announcements, for the priest’s opening prayer, for the soloist at the wedding, or the folk choir-unless, of course, they’re leading the responsorial psalm. The priest should pray from his chair, and the songs and announcements belong at a stand in a different location. We reserve the ambo for the word of God. Consequently, the ambo should look special. It enjoys a fixed place in the sanctuary, not a portable status subject to removal or displacement. Too often we obscure the ambo with decorations and banners, as if it were merely a hook for hanging pictures rather than the home for word of God. It demands dignity of place, room for candles if desired and a location where all can see and hear the reader. Microphones of good quality are essential in most churches. A church’s best mikes belong with the Scriptures, not just with the musicians. The ambo is the primary place from which we hear the word of God and it deserves our sacred respect.

Announcements By Paul Turner

Before Mass is over, we usually hear a few announcements. They are a sign that the community who worships together maintains a vibrant life during the week. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our life. It gathers our week’s activities into a hymn of praise and it sends us forth to proclaim the Gospel to all we meet. We hear many of those opportunities in the announcements. Announcements take place after the communion prayer and before the final greeting and blessing. Although it’s tempting to break the silence after communion with announcements while everyone is seated, that time has its own purpose—to thank God for the Eucharist we share. That important period of thanksgiving stands apart on its own. The communion prayer brings those silent prayers to a conclusion. Then, when communion is done, and before we are dismissed, we hear the announcements. For similar reasons, the announcements should not be made as part of the homily. Although everyone is seated and ready to listen, this time has a different purpose. The homily comments of the word of God; this unit within the Mass should not suffer from interruption. The priest, the deacon or another minister may let us know what is happening this week. Ordinarily the assembly remains standing, but if the announcements are long, they may be invited to sit. The announcements should be made from someplace other that the ambo; we reserve the ambo for the reading and preaching of sacred Scripture. There are no rules for what should be included or omitted. The announcements provide an opportunity for highlighting some information which can be detailed in the bulletin. They are intended to be brief. Those who leave Mass early miss this important time. All who share communion are summoned into service. The announcements extend an invitation to let our communion take root in the community. Copyright © 2003 Resource Publications, Inc., 160 E.

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer; an hour of adoration.

This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from.

An adorer is needed for:

Friday 12:00 midnight—1:00 a.m. Friday 10:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m.

If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la Iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la mission por medio de la oración; una hora de adoración.

Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildisima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en solo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger.

Tambien es necesario un adorador los:

viernes 12:00 media noche—1:00 a.m. viernes 10:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m.

Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

A few things to ponder about our Church and our role as Laity.

Mark your calendars for Notre Dame’s Call to Reparation Service on

October 18that 6:30 p.m.

You may be asking, why should I do this?

You should do this because prayer and penance are both spiritual weapons against dark times.

We forget that Jesus said, “where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.” When we come together as the Body of Christ and we wield the spiritual weapon of prayer and penance, it can change things.

Thoughts to ponder and actions to take this weekW

Are you praying daily for your Church? Why or why not?

Are you making any sacrifice in reparation for the sins committed against the innocent?

What are you doing?

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR OCTOBER 18TH, 6:30 PM.

This is one thing you can do.

Algunas cosas para reflexionar sobre nuestra

Iglesia y nuestro papel como Laicos. Reserven la fecha en sus

calendarios para el llamado Acto de Reparación en Notre Dame

el 18 de octubre a las 6:30 p.m.

Usted se preguntará, ¿por qué debo hacer esto?

Debes hacer esto porque la oración y la penitencia son armas espirituales contra los tiempos oscuros.

Olvidamos que Jesús dijo: “donde dos o tres se reúnen en mi nombre, allí estoy Yo en medio de ellos”. Cuando nos juntamos como el Cuerpo de Cristo y empuñamos el arma espiritual de la oración y la penitencia, podemos cambiar las cosas.

Pensamientos para reflexionar y acciones a tomar esta semana.

• ¿Estás orando diariamente por tu Iglesia? ¿Por qué o por qué no?

• ¿Estás haciendo algún sacrificio en reparación por los pecados cometidos contra los inocentes?

• ¿Qué estás haciendo?

Dear Friend of Our Blessed Mother, you are invited to be part of the biggest Rosary Crusade in history to offset the sins of abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism, Satanism and the growing rate of drug addiction and suicide among young people—our nation desperately needs a supernatural solution.

The solution was given by the Blessed Mother at Fatima in 1917 when she told people to pray the Rosary for world peace. In answer to Our Lady’s request, America Needs Fatima is planning 23,000 public rosaries. A rosary will be recited on Saturday, October 13, 2018, 12:00 noon at the Empty Cross on Benson Drive (the hill above the car dealership on IH10). Please come and help pray the rosary.

For more information, contact Dixie Selgrath at (817)707-0416 or Diana Chaney at (830)822-7491.

Women’s Retreat at Tecaboca November 2-4, 2018

The retreat begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and ends at noon on Sunday.

Our reflection in a mirror can be a reflection of Mary, Our Blessed Mother, in ways that you may have never considered. What kind of surrender did Mary make to become the Mother of Jesus? We may find that in our everyday lives, in the ordinary, we are extraordinary – like Mary was when she said the most important “yes” ever said. This retreat will lead women in an examination of our lives yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and how to give “our thoughts, our service to one another, our affections and loves, our words, our intellect, our waking, working, and sleeping, our ordinary human joys and sorrows to God.” Our mission is to echo and reflect Mary in our own mirror.

WILL YOU WALK AWAYW OR WILL YOU FIGHT FOR THE HEALING OF YOUR CHURCH?

A SERVICE OF REPARATION THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18TH

AT 6:30 PM IN THE CHURCH.

We will pray for:

♦ the victims who have carried their wound for years ♦ for the priests who violated their vows and betrayed the trust of the innocent ♦ for the bishops who kept the secret ♦ for the many many priests and bishops who have been true to their

ordination promises and are bearing the disgrace and mistrust now and who are actively investigating, bringing God’s Justice, and finding ways to heal the wound that Holy Mother Church bears.

♦ For the laity, who feel confused, ashamed, and angry, and are bearing the disgrace and wounding as well.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE…

STAND WITH HOLY MOTHER CHURCH IN HER TIME OF TRIAL and PRAY AND

ahora están cargando con la deshonra y la desconfianza, y que están investigando activamente trayendo la Justicia de Dios y encontrando formas de sanar las herida que la Santa Madre Iglesia tiene.

♦ Por los laicos, que se sienten confundidos, avergonzados y enojados, y también están cargando con la desgracia y las heridas.

TENEMOS UNA OPCIÓN…

ESTAR CON NUESTRA SANTA MADRE IGLESIA EN ESTE TIEMPO DE PRUEBA,

ORAR Y HACER REPARACIÓN POR PARTE DE LOS QUE HAN PECADO,

from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church, near the bell tower door. Marion Worthington tells us about Everybody Needs to Forgive Somebody, by Allen R. Hunt. “Ninety percent of Catholics don’t read Catholic books.” This is the penultimate sentence in this book. Twelve vignettes from the New Testament, anonymous, and well-known sources are briefly presented for maximal emotional impact, including the shooting of Pope St. John Paul II, Corrie ten Boom and “one of the cruelest guards at Ravensbrück”, and the fathers of victims and the perpetrator of the Murrah Federal Building bombing. This is not an ethical treatise, but a plea to forgive all perpetrators, whether they have expressed contrition or not. Be more Christ-like and nullify the first sentence above.

have been meeting since mid-August and our numbers continue to grow, praise God.

They are learning about the love of God and about our Catholic faith. October 20th

will be their fall retreat. Please pray that they will be open to the guidance of the Ho-

ly Spirit as they learn more about prayer and scripture. Then on Sunday, October 21,

they will participate in the Rite of Acceptance and Welcome at the 11:00 Mass. Keep

them in prayer as they discern their desire to continue on their journey to the Easter

Sacraments in the Catholic Church.

Have you ever asked yourself:

How can I make my life a gift for others in charity/to

my church community?

Well, we have the answer:

By exploring the many opportunities to assist your

parish as a catechist, nurturing the seeds of faith in

children, youth, and adults.

But then you think:

I can’t do that. I don’t know my faith well enough to serve in this capacity.

But you do:

While you would be exploring the many opportunities for your own faith formation you

would also be serving and helping in planting and/or nurturing the seeds of faith in so many,

whether it be in our children, youth or in our adults. We really need your help in many areas

whether it be in preparing parents and/or godparents at Pre-Baptismal preparation classes or

walking with our children/teens in their faith journey.

If you feel like you are being called please call the Youth and Family Ministry at

830 896-4233 for more information. Perhaps God is tapping you on the shoulder.
