We will offer our annual Blessing of Animals, unless it rains, this Saturday, October 3rd at 12 noon in the parking lot behind the rectory. See the details elsewhere in the bulle n.
Please read the Insert this week and next of a two part series on the “Challenges of Forming Consciences for Faithful Ci zenship.” The Church does not endorse par cular candidates for office, but offers a structure to help us make responsible choices as we prepare to cast our elec on ballots.
Msgr. Richard Arnhols, Pastor
Reflection on Today’s Scripture Readings
In The Secret Life of Bees, August, an older black woman, is talking about “the problem with people” to Lily, a younger white woman who has run away from an abusive father. Lily has said that people don’t really know what matters. But August says the deeper problem is that people do know what matters, but don’t choose it. God tells Ezekiel that virtue’s proof is in choosing to do the right thing. What you choose to do matters. So be careful not to go off the right path at the end of your days. On the other hand, you might be off the right path for years, but end up hopping back on at the very end, and you will have life. It doesn’t sound very fair; nevertheless, it’s where you are when the end comes that counts. And you don’t know when the end will come. Jesus confronts the religious leaders with a parable. A father asks his two sons to do some work in the vineyard. One talks a good game but never makes it into the field; the other refuses outright, but then goes and does what his father asked. In telling this parable, Jesus compares these leaders unfavorably to the tax collectors and prostitutes. The elders must have been shocked. “Have in you that same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus,” writes Paul to his beloved Philippians. The attitude he urged on them was giving oneself for the sake of others—even unto death. In this way, we not only speak but also do “Yes.” Choose to live Christ. — James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!
“Do nothing out of selfishness; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves…” Philippians 2:3
Pride and ego are hard things to control. We see how others act or dress and think we are superior to them. We idolize our own self-image. But, if we truly believe everything is a gi from God, we recognize all the people that God has put in our lives as gi s! We are grateful for how they enrich our lives. Pray every day for the people in your life: your family, your friends and those who make you angry.

Escritorio del Párroco Es mados Feligreses,

Mons. Richard Arnhols, Párroco
Reflexión de las Escrituras de Hoy
En la novela “La vida secreta de las abejas” una mujer afrodescendiente y ya anciana de nombre August habla sobre “el problema de la gente” con Lily, una mujer blanca más joven que se ha escapado de su padre abusivo. Lily dice que la gente no sabe lo que es importante en realidad; pero August dice que un problema aún mayor es que la gente sí sabe lo que es importante, pero eligen no hacerlo. Dios le dice a Ezequiel que la virtud se prueba al elegir hacer lo correcto. Lo que eliges hacer es importante. Así es que cuidado con salirte del camino correcto al final de tus días. Por otra parte, pudieras estar por el camino equivocado durante años y dar un salto de vuelta al camino correcto y así encontrar la vida. No parece muy justo; así y todo, lo que cuenta es dónde estés al llegar el final. Y no sabes cuándo ese final llegará. Jesús confronta a los líderes religiosos con una parábola. El padre le pide a sus dos hijos que hagan un trabajo en la viña. Uno dice que está dispuesto, pero nunca llega a hacerlo; el otro se niega al instante, pero después va y hace lo que el padre le ha pedido. Al contar esta parábola Jesús compara a esos líderes religiosos desfavorablemente con los recaudadores de impuestos y las prostitutas. Los ancianos debieron haberse quedado estupefactos. “Tengan, pues, los sentimientos que corresponden a quienes están unidos a Cristo Jesús”, le escribe Pablo a sus queridos filipenses. La actitud que él les urge es que se entreguen por el bien de los demás, aun hasta la muerte. De esta manera nuestro “sí” no es sólo de palabra, sino también de obra. Elige vivir en Cristo. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
Administradores: ¡Compartiendo Nuestro Tiempo, Talento, Y Tesoro!
“No hagas nada por egoísmo; más bien, consideren humildemente a los demás como más importantes que ustedes..." FILIPENSES 2: 3
El orgullo y el ego son cosas difíciles de controlar. Vemos cómo actúan o visten los demás y pensamos que somos superiores a ellos. Idolatramos nuestra propia imagen. Pero, si realmente creemos que todo es un regalo de Dios, ¡reconocemos a todas las personas que Dios ha puesto en nuestras vidas como regalos! Estamos agradecidos por cómo enriquecen nuestras vidas. Ora
todos los días por las personas en tu vida: tu familia, tus amigos y aquellos que te hacen enojar.

A Letter From Padre Pio 'Our Soul is the Temple of God'
As soon as you are before God in the Blessed Sacrament, devoutly genuflect. Once you have found your place, kneel down and surrender the tribute of your presence and devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Confide all your needs to Him along with those of others. Speak to Him with filial abandonment, give free rein to your heart, and give Him complete freedom to work in you as He thinks best. When assisting at Holy Mass and the sacred functions, be very composed when standing up, kneeling down, and sitting, and carry out every religious act with the greatest devotion. Be modest in your glances; don’t turn your head here and there to see who enters and leaves. Don’t laugh, out of reverence for this holy place and also out of respect for those who are near you. Try not to speak to anybody, except when charity or strict necessity requests this. If you pray with others, say the words of the prayer distinctly, observe the pauses well, and never hurry.
Blessing of Animals We’re going to do blessing of the animals on Saturday, October 3rd at 12 noon in the parking lot behind the rectory. People must wear a mask. Children and pets must be accompanied by adults.
Social distancing must be observed.
Event cancelled if it rains.
BRING YOUR PETS TO BE BLESSED!
How Well Do You Know Your Faith?
This section of our bulletin will
provide you with some vitamins of faith that we all need a dose of each
& every day.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
A catechism should faithfully and systematically present the teaching of Sacred Scripture, the living Tradition in
the Church and the authentic Magisterium, as well as the spiritual heritage of the Fathers, Doctors and saints of
the Church, to allow for a better knowledge of the Christian mystery and for enlivening the faith of the
People of God. It should take into account the doctrinal statements which down the centuries the Holy Spirit has intimated to his Church. It should also help to illumine with the light of faith the new situations and problems
which had not yet emerged in the past.
From THE APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION FIDEI DEPOSITUM , John Paul, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of
God For Everlasting Memory;2.

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
En el Padrenuestro pedimos que Dios no nos deje caer en la tentación y que nos libre de todo mal.
Oremos para ser obedientes a la voluntad del Padre aun hasta la muerte, para que se nos
conduzca a la vida eterna y nos unamos al cántico de exaltación confesando que Jesucristo es el
Señor.
¿Que tanto conoces tu fe?
Esta sección del boletín nos proporciona vitaminas de fe que todos necesitamos y que
debemos tomar una todos los días.
Un Catecismo debe presentar fiel y orgánicamente la enseñanza de la Sagrada
Escritura, de la Tradición viva de la Iglesia y del Magisterio auténtico, así como la herencia
espiritual de los Padres, de los santos y santas de la Iglesia, para que se conozcan mejor los
misterios cristianos y se reavive la fe del Pueblo de Dios. Debe recoger aquellas explicitaciones
de la doctrina que el Espíritu Santo ha sugerido a la Iglesia a lo largo de los siglos. Es preciso
también que ayude a iluminar con la luz de la fe las situaciones nuevas y los problemas que en el
pasado aún no se habían planteado.
