Good News Reflection 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 30, 2018

Numbers 11:25-29 Ps 19:8, 10, 12-14

James 5:1-6 Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

Unexpected partners Jesus says in this Sunday's Gospel reading that whoever is not against us is for us. The reality of this often

takes us by surprise in unexpected partners.

On the one hand, it can seem like someone is against us when really they are not. For example, when someone

speaks a truth that we don't want to hear, that person seems to be our enemy while in fact they are God's

chosen prophet.

At other times, people side with us but only for their own agenda; they're not interested in assisting the purpos-

es that God has for our lives.

And sometimes we encounter people who are doing the Lord's work but not in the way that we expect them to,

and so we assume that they are not doing what God wants them to do. Have you ever asked someone to pray

for a certain intention and he/she prayed the opposite of what you intended?

Years ago, when my husband's company was laying off most of its employees, I asked a friend to pray for him

so that he could find a new job, but she prayed instead for the company so that he wouldn't have to leave it.

My expectations were for him to find a healthier company in which to work. I didn't like her prayer, but in the

end, I realized that she was the only friend who had prayed exactly what the Lord had wanted!

To figure out whether someone is truly against us or is, in fact, God's instrument for us, we have to separate

ourselves from the heat and frustrations of the experience and sit quietly with Jesus. After we vent to him our

fears and anger and then forgive those who seem to be against us, we will be open to hearing a more divine

assessment of the situation.

Even when someone truly is acting against us, when we sit quietly in prayer, seeking a word of knowledge or

wisdom from the Holy Spirit, we can discover that God is for us and that's what matters most. He gives us

encouragement and strength to endure any troubles.

Questions for Personal Reflection:

Who is telling you something that you don't like hearing? Is it possible that the Lord is speaking through this

person? Whom have you trusted that turned out to be a false friend or a bad influence which harmed your

faith? Who has been an unexpected instrument of the Lord on your spiritual journey?

Questions for Community Faith Sharing:

When have you been startled to discover that someone who did not seem to be "of the Lord" was really doing

the Lord's work? What did the Lord accomplish through this unexpected source? What did you learn from it?

Reflexión de las Buenas Nuevas 26to. Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Septiembre 30, 2018

Números 11, 25-29 Sal 19, 8.10.12-14

Santiago 5, 1-6 Marcos 9, 38-43.45.47-48

Compañeros inesperados Jesús dice, en esta lectura del Evangelio del domingo, que quien no está en contra

nuestro está a favor nuestro. Esta realidad a menudo nos toma por sorpresa con

compañeros inesperados.

Por un lado, a veces parece que alguien está en contra nuestro cuando en realidad no es así. Por ejemplo, cuan-

do alguien dice una verdad que no queremos escuchar, esa persona parece nuestro

enemigo, mientras que, en realidad, es el profeta que Dios eligió.

Por otra parte, hay personas que están de nuestro lado pero para su propio provecho; no están interesadas en

fomentar los propósitos que Dios tiene para nuestras vidas.

Y, a veces, encontramos personas que están haciendo el trabajo del Señor pero no de la manera en que

esperamos que lo hagan, entonces asumimos que no están haciendo lo que Dios quiere que hagan. ¿Le has

pedido alguna vez a alguien, que ore por una determinada intención y él/ella oró por lo opuesto a aquello que

tú querías?

Años atrás, cuando la compañía de mi esposo estaba despidiendo a la mayoría de sus empleados, le pedí a una

amiga que orara por él, para que pudiera encontrar un nuevo empleo, pero, en cambio, ella oró por la

compañía, para que él no tuviera que dejarla. Mis expectativas eran que él encontrara una compañía más

saludable para la cual trabajar. No me gustó la oración de mi amiga, pero, al final, ¡me di cuenta, que ella había

sido la única amiga que había orado, exactamente, lo que el Señor había querido!

Para darnos cuenta si alguien está verdaderamente en nuestra contra, o si, en realidad, es un instrumento de

Dios para nosotros, debemos apartarnos del calor y la frustración que brotan de la situación y sentarnos

tranquilamente con Jesús. Después de descargar en Él nuestros miedos y enojo, para luego perdonar a aquellos

que parecen estar en nuestra contra, podremos abrirnos para escuchar más consejos divinos relacionados con la

situación.

Incluso cuando alguien está realmente en contra nuestro, al sentarnos tranquilamente en oración, buscando una

palabra de conocimiento o sabiduría del Espíritu Santo, podremos descubrir que Dios está con nosotros y eso

es lo que más importa. Nos da coraje y fortaleza para soportar cualquier problema.

Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal:

¿Quién está diciéndote algo que en realidad no te gusta escuchar? ¿Es posible que el Señor esté hablando a

través de esa persona? ¿En quién confiaste que resultó ser un amigo falso o una mala influencia, que dañó tu

fe? ¿Quién ha sido un instrumento inesperado del Señor, en tu camino espiritual?

Preguntas para Compartir la Fe en Comunidad:

¿Cuándo te has sorprendido al descubrir que alguien que no parecía ser "del Señor", estaba realmente haciendo

la obra del Señor? ¿Qué logró el Señor a través de este medio inesperado? ¿Qué aprendiste de él?

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Our Lady of the Rosary October 7th

“Give me an army saying the Rosary and I will conquer the world,” said Pope Saint Pius X! “Give

me one million families praying the rosary and the world will be saved,” Said Pope Pius IX! And if

‘an army’ or ‘one million families’ prayed the Rosary before the Blessed sacrament, to Him who said ‘ask and it shall

be given to you!’ (Lk 11:9).

Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24

hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to

enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend as much or as little time as you can. Thank you for offering our Lord this special

hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks.

The Marriage in Christ Seminar: Please join us for the Marriage in Christ

Seminar. Over time busy couples can fall into a rut and we begin to take our spouse for

granted. We can forget how much we love each other. The five week Marriage in Christ

seminar offers daily activities that couples can do in as little as 15-20 minutes a day. These activities are

designed to deepen our friendship with God and with out spouse. The format for each day is easy to follow.

Couples pray together each day, talk about things—the things we used to talk about when we were getting

to know each other. The Marriage in Christ seminar offers practical suggestions for putting our love into

action and deepening our friendship.

Mondays, October 15 thru November 12, 6:30-8:30pm

Notes from the Liturgist

THE HOLY ROSARY “The Holy Rosary (/ˈroʊzəri/; Latin: rosarium, in the sense of "crown of roses" or "garland of roses"), also known as the Dominican Rosary, refers to a form of prayer used in the Catholic Church and to the string of knots or beads used to count the component prayers. When used for the prayer, the word is usually capitalized ("the Rosary"), as is customary for other names of prayers, such as "the Lord's Prayer", and "the Hail Mary"; when referring to the beads, it is written with a lower-case initial letter ("a rosary").

The prayers that comprise the Rosary are arranged in sets of ten Hail Marys, called decades. Each decade is preceded by one Lord's Prayer and followed by one Glory Be. During recitation of each set, thought is given to one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which recall events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Five decades are recited per rosary. Other prayers are sometimes added before or after each decade. Rosary beads are an aid towards saying these prayers in the proper sequence.

A standard 15 Mysteries of the Rosary, based on the long-standing custom, was established by Pope Pius V during the 16th century, grouping the mysteries in three sets: the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Glorious Mysteries. During 2002 Pope John Paul II said that it is fitting that a new set of five be added, termed the Luminous Mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to 20. The Glorious mysteries are said on Sunday and Wednesday, the Joyful on Monday and Saturday, the Sorrowful on Tuesday and Friday, and the Luminous Mysteries are said on Thursday. Usually five decades are recited in a session.”

…by Wikipedia

The month of October is the month of the Holy Rosary. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because it reflects the story of our salvation. When we pray the Holy Rosary, we meditate on the life of Jesus and Mary. It is a simple, humble prayer so much like Mary.

My dear friends, let us pray the Holy Rosary together. We ask for the intercession of the Blessed Mother to pray for us. Our Blessed Mother always grants our request. She joins her prayer to ours. Make that habit to pray the Holy Rosary because what Mary asks she always receives, Jesus can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for.

For the month of October, we will have a 24/7 Praying the Holy Rosary and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at the Perpetual Adoration Chapel here in our parish. I am inviting you all to come and pray anytime.

Notas del Liturgista

EL SANTO ROSARIO

"El Santo Rosario (/ roʊzəri /) En Latín: rosarium, en el sentido/significado" corona de rosas "o" guirnalda de rosas "), también conocido como el Rosario Dominicano, se refiere a una forma de oración utilizada en la Iglesia Católica y al collar del rosario o cuentas utilizadas para contar las oraciones componentes. Cuando se usa para la oración, la palabra generalmente se escribe con mayúscula ("el Rosario"), como es habitual y como se escribe el nombres de otras oraciones, como "el Padre Nuestro" y "el Ave María"; cuando se refiere a las cuentas, está escrito con una letra inicial minúscula ("un rosario").

Las oraciones que componen el Rosario están organizadas en conjuntos de diez Avemarías, llamadas décadas. Cada década está precedida por un Padrenuestro seguido de un Gloria. Durante la recitación de cada conjunto, se piensa en uno de los Misterios del Rosario, que recuerda los acontecimientos en la vida de Jesús y de María. Se recitan cinco décadas por rosario. Otras oraciones y a veces se agregan antes o después de cada década. Los rosarios son una ayuda para decir estas oraciones en la secuencia correcta.

Un estándar de 15 Misterios del Rosario, basado en la antigua costumbre, fue establecido por el Papa Pío V durante el siglo XVI, agrupando los misterios en tres conjuntos: los Misterios Gozosos, los Misterios Dolorosos y los Misterios Gloriosos. Durante 2002, el Papa Juan Pablo II dijo que es apropiado agregar un nuevo conjunto de cinco, denominados Misterios Luminosos, elevando el número total de 20 misterios. Los misterios Gloriosos se dicen los Domingos y los Miércoles, los Alegres los Lunes y los Sábados. , los Dolorosos los Martes y Viernes, y los Misterios luminosos se dicen el Jueves. Usualmente se recitan cinco décadas en una sesión ".

... por Wikipedia

El mes de Octubre es el mes del Santo Rosario. El Santo Rosario se considera una oración perfecta porque refleja la historia de nuestra salvación. Cuando rezamos el Santo Rosario, meditamos sobre la vida de Jesús y de María. Es una oración sencilla y humilde, muy parecida a María.

Mis queridos amigos, recemos el Santo Rosario juntos. Pidamos por la intercesión de la Santísima Madre para que ore por nosotros. Nuestra Santísima Madre siempre concede nuestra solicitud. Ella une su oración a la nuestra. Haga ese hábito de rezar el Santo Rosario porque lo que María le pide a Dios siempre lo recibe, Jesús nunca puede decir no a lo que su Madre le pida.

Por el mes de Octubre, Rezaremos el Santo Rosario las 24 horas y la Adoración al Santísimo Sacramento en la Capilla de Adoración Perpetua aquí en nuestra parroquia. Los invito a todos a venir y orar en cualquier momento.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish Elementary Religious Education

Did You Know…? Here at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish we offer religious education classes for kids from age

3 to 5th grade. We also include a family session once a month so that entire families can

strengthen their faith together. We meet three Sundays a month from 9:40 am to 10:45 am.

The first and second Sundays the children are in grade-level classroom style classes. The third

Sunday of the month the whole family meets in the gym for family faith and fellowship. Classes

began on September 16, but it isn’t too late to sign up! Registration forms for both religious

education and First Communion are available online, on the Faith Formation bulletin board, in

the office, or down in the education center. If you have questions about any of our classes,

please email [email protected] or just come down to the education center on Sunday

morning.

Plan Your Celebration

Just as you plan celebrations of your

early Sacraments, you can also pre-plan your final sending forth - your funeral. Many people wait

until the moment is upon them, leaving extra stress on their loved ones. Some people feel that to

address the event is to somehow bring it upon you all the quicker.

We would like to dispel some of the fears and misunderstandings

about funerals. Please come to our Funeral Pre-planning workshop

on Saturday, October 27th from 9:30am-12:30pm in the Gathering

Space. Monsignor Gerard O'Connor from the Archdiocese will talk

about Church teachings on funerals. Wally Ordeman of Fisher Funeral Home will

speak about what services are often provided by funeral homes. Pam Henkel of Mt. Calvary &

Gethsemane Catholic Funeral Services will give us information about the services typically

provided by cemeteries.

As many of our parishioners are veterans, we will have Traci Logan

from the US. Department of Veterans Affairs come to explain what

options veterans' families have open to them. Our last speaker will

be Carmen Gaston from the Archdiocese who will cover the role of

estate planning, and how to help with taxes up to and including inheritance tax. Finally, we will open

the floor for all attendees to go around to the tables of many funeral homes, cemeteries and

parishes within our vicariate. There you can glean information more specific to you.

For more information, see the posters at the doors. Everyone is welcome!

Bring family and friends, whether they are local or not. The information will be

fairly general, so will apply to other locations. Refreshments will be available.

There is no charge, but free will offerings will be gratefully accepted.

Care for Creation

“Our mistreatment of the natural

we are destroying resources that

future generations of humans need,
