Mass Intentions

Mass intentions request will only be taken in the office a week in advance if space is available. Only one

intention per Mass. Please submit the request in the office.

LOVE SHOWN IN ACTION Do you receive the word of God with joy as the Thessalonians did? Their faith showed in their ac ons. They became models for other believers. The first reading tells us to put our faith into ac on. This passage is part of a long list of ordinances God commanded the Israelites to observe. God will judge us by how we treat our neighbors. God will hear the cries of any whom we neglect or mistreat and will come to their defense. In today’s Gospel the Pharisees put the ques on of God’s law to Jesus. “Which commandment of the law is the greatest?” (Ma hew 22:36) How could he possibly choose from all the detailed commandments the Jews observed? He was sure to offend somebody by his answer! Of course, Jesus went right to the heart of the ma er. Love is the greatest commandment—love of God and love of neighbor. Everything else is based on this. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL AMOR ESTÁ EN LA ACCIÓN ¿Recibes la palabra de Dios con gozo, al igual que hicieron los tesalonicenses? Su fe se reflejó en sus acciones. Se convir eron en ejemplo para otros creyentes. La primera lectura nos dice que pongamos nuestra fe en acción. Este pasaje es parte de una larga lista de reglas que Dios impone a los israelitas para su observancia y para respetar su Ley. Dios nos juzgará por cómo nosotros tratamos a nuestros semejantes. Dios escuchará los llantos de todo aquel al que desatendemos o maltratamos, y vendrá en su defensa. En el Evangelio de hoy, los fariseos plantean la cues ón de la Ley de Dios. “¿Cuál es el mandamiento más importante de la Ley?” (Mateo 22:36). ¿Cómo es posible que él pueda elegir de entre todos los detallados mandamientos que los judíos observaban? ¡Sin duda que ofendería a alguien con su respuesta! Sin embargo, Jesús fue derecho al grano. El amor es el más grande de todos los mandamientos, el amor de Dios y el amor del prójimo. Todo lo demás se basa en esto. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

OCTOBER, the MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY

Soon it will be that time when we are reminded of the importance of uniting our prayers with the Mother of God and conforming ourselves to Christ as revealed in the mysteries of His life. We grow in our appreciation of Christ through meditating on these mysteries. We do, however, need to be careful that our prayer does not become wordy and mechanical. Pope Paul VI said “Without contemplation, the Rosary is a body without a soul.” therosary3.com is a scriptural Rosary. Whether you are already in the habit of praying the Rosary and want to renew the spirit of your prayer, or whether you are new to the Rosary and want to learn how to quieten your mind and heart, therosary3.com will help you enter more deeply into the Mysteries of Christ. Come then, come to a quiet place within … visit therosary3.com.

other struggles? For the homebound, "My Sunday

spiritual comfort and hope. To see the

Catholics who can get to church, TV or online

DID YOU KNOW? Talk with your children about safety at school “Back-to-school does not have to mean back-to-worrying. Though safety inside school is ultimately the responsibility of the principal and school staff, parents can take a few basic steps to ensure a safe school experience.” Talk with your child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct and paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if she doesn't feel safe (find a teacher, call 911, etc.). Make sure she knows how to contact you or a trusted neighbor who is likely to be at home. For more information, please visit http://www.scholastic.com/parents/resources/article/parent-teacher-partnerships/6-rules-school-safety

¿SABIA USTED? Platique con sus hijos sobre la seguridad en la escuela “El regreso a la escuela no tiene que significar regreso a la preocupación. Aunque la seguridad adentro de la escuela es finalmente la responsabilidad del director y del personal de la escuela, los padres de familia pueden tomar unos pocos pasos básicos para asegurar una experiencia escolar se-gura”.Platique con su hijo/a sobre la seguridad. Sea específi-co. Platique sobre el instinto y poner atención a los senti-mientos raros de miedo. Explique qué hacer si él/ella no se siente seguro/a (busque a un maestro, llame al 911, etc.). Asegúrese que él/ella sepa como contactar a sus padres o a un vecino de confianza que con seguridad vaya a estar en casa.
