John Farao, OFM Conv Administrative Assistant Christopher Garza, ext-102 email: [email protected]In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us that if we put his teachings into action, we will enter the kingdom of God. Francis de Sales notes: Jesus comes to teach us what we ought to do to love divinely. He confounds a culture that leads us to pursue false goals, a culture that never ceases to say, “How happy are the wealthy!” For Jesus, the blessed are they who conduct themselves in this life with trust in God. They will win perpetual peace and tranquility. They hear the word of God, keep it and profit by it. There are two reasons why people do not profit from the word of God. First, they may indeed hear it and be interiorly moved by it. Yet, they postpone acting on it until tomorrow. Our life is the today in which we are living. Who can promise themselves a tomorrow? Our life consists in this present moment in which we are living. We can only assure ourselves of this moment that we now enjoy however brief it may be. Second, some people have a great deal of knowledge. They amass all sorts of spiritual advice and information, but never put it into practice. We only learn well the teachings of Jesus when they become a part of our daily living. To live Jesus, we must allow ourselves to let go of our disordered emotions, habits, and affections. We need to transform our emotions and affections so that they help us to become a divinely loving person. We do this by letting go of all that is not of God in us. To let go of our vices, we must practice the virtues opposed to the vice that we desire to abandon. For instance, if our anger is disordered, then we must practice gentleness and patience. Do not trouble yourself with anything else, except to follow Jesus’ teachings. Trust in the goodness of God, who will surely provide all that you need to enter the kingdom of God.

There are two reasons why people do not profit from the word of God.
First, they may indeed hear it and be interiorly moved by it. Yet, they
postpone acting on it until tomorrow. Our life is the today in which we
are living. Who can promise themselves a tomorrow? Our life consists
in this present moment in which we are living. We can only assure
ourselves of this moment that we now enjoy however brief it may be.
Second, some people have a great deal of knowledge. They amass all
sorts of spiritual advice and information, but never put it into practice.
We only learn well the teachings of Jesus when they become a part of
our daily living. To live Jesus, we must allow ourselves to let go of our
disordered emotions, habits, and affections.
We need to transform our emotions and affections so that they help us
to become a divinely loving person. We do this by letting go of all that
is not of God in us. To let go of our vices, we must practice the virtues
opposed to the vice that we desire to abandon. For instance, if our
anger is disordered, then we must practice gentleness and patience. Do
not trouble yourself with anything else, except to follow Jesus’
teachings. Trust in the goodness of God, who will surely provide all that
you need to enter the kingdom of God.

40 Days for Life:
RE: COVD-19: We are
concerned about you, your
families, and the community.
We, along with our Day
Captains, have decided to alter our 40 Days presence
outside Planned Parenthood to reduce the risk of
exposure for all. Everyone is at risk and has the potential
to contract or pass it onto someone else.
1. We will continue to park the truck with a new
banner each day outside Planned Parenthood. This,
alone, will maintain our 40 Days presence on Pismo
Street.
2. Prayer can be done from home, or if you wish, you
may come to PP and pray from within your cars. We do
not encourage you to stand outside on the sidewalk and
pray. You may collect a 40 Days for Life yard sign from
the truck bed to place in your car window or trunk if
The Diocese of Monterey in collaboration with Santa Clara University’s Pastoral Ministries MA program seeks to empower a community of pastoral ministers of competence, conscience, compassion and creativity to accompany others in intercultural contexts. Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of a church that sees itself as “missionary,” that is, going out to
those on the margins. A missionary church is a place of encounter between many cultures and peoples that does not sit back and wait for others to come in. It seeks out the lost, the forgotten, the disenfranchised and welcomes them.
The program from Santa Clara University, delivered right to the Diocese of Monterey at the offices on Church Street, establishes a firm foundation of theology and ministry for all who seek academic, theological and spiritual formation for service in the parishes in youth and young adult ministries and social justice ministries, among others. The Diocese uses this program as well for theological formation for our Deacon candidates. Our Director of the Diaconate and Ministry Formation highly recommends this program for all wo are interested in ministry of any kind in the diocese. What gifts and talents do you bring to the table?
Would you like to learn more about how you can enhance your ministerial skills and deepen your faith commitment to accompaniment in a community of believers? There will be a Virtual Info Session where you can learn more about this program on Thursday, October 8, 2020 at 6:00 PM. Please contact either Deacon Dave Ford or Ann Ventura for details on how to join in!

GUARDIANS FOR VALUABLE SOULS So valuable to heaven is the dignity of the human soul that every member of the human race has a guardian angel from the moment the person begins to be. —St. Jerome
