    “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.” – Matthew 22:37

    Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of money, power, status, comfort or some personal possession greater than your love for God? Do you really rec-

    ognize that everything you have and that everything

    you are is a gift from God? The good news – it’s not

    too late to put God first in all things in your life.

    Divine Mercy Parish would like to thank our families who are currently giving electronically. You may not see these fellow parishioners place an envelope in the basket every week, but their consistent giving does not go unnoticed. Each

    month our parish receives a steady and predict-able stream of income from

    those donors who have made the commitment to give to God

    first by having a designated contribution

    automatically transferred to our parish through our Online

    Giving Program. If you would like to learn more about this easy, safe, and secure way of giving,

    please check out our website: www.divinemercyparish.org/ways-to-give.html

    Today, we celebrate the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the Gospel (MT 22:34-40), we are presented with the greatest commandment. Jesus says, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and

    with all your mind,” (MT 22:37). A LIFETEEN author states, “learning about God is, itself, an act of love.” The LIFETEEN author further reminds us that “the golden rule (‘Do to oth-ers whatever you would have them do to you.’ MT 7:12) is

    based in love, God’s love.” At LIFETEEN and Edge we discuss what the LIFETEEN author says about how “we keep His

    commandments and love our neighbor.” Please join us as we discuss how to love God with our all of our

    heart, soul, and mind.

    Prayer Blanket Ministry

    Relief to the suffering, peace to the fearful. May each Prayer Blanket Recipient know they are not alone. We are praying for their healing

    and comfort. This beautiful act of sacrifice before the Lord trans-forms this blanket into a prayer blanket whose very threads be-

    come interwoven with pleas for healing on behalf of the recipient. To request a Prayer Blanket for someone who is ill or in need,

    contact Meryl Rooney at (504) 472-4383.

    “Peoples and nations of the entire world need to hear these words – BE NOT AFRAID. Their conscience needs to grow in the certainty that Someone exists who holds in his hands the destiny of this passing

    world… And this someone is Love – Love that became man, Love crucified and risen, Love unceasingly present among men.” St. John Paul ll

    Karol Wojtyla was a young man when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939. His seminary training took place in secret and in 1946 he was ordained with Poland now under the control of the Soviets. He

    served as a priest and a bishop under communist rule and then was elected pope in 1978.

    Throughout his life he developed a great devotion to the Blessed Virgin, consecrated his life to her and wrote this poem entitled “Totus Tuus.”

    Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me. Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart… Teach me, lead me and guide me to Jesus… Possess my soul. Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with yourself…Pray in me and through me, Let me live in you and keep me in this

    union always. Amen.

    May he lead us to see Mary through the eyes of God the Father who chose her to be the mother of His Son. May we too truly depend on her to take us to Jesus.

    “Los pueblos y las naciones de todo el mundo necesitan escuchar estas palabras: NO TENGAS MIEDO. Su conciencia necesita crecer en la certeza de que existe Alguien que tiene en sus manos el destino de este

    mundo pasajero ... Y ese alguien es Amor - Amor que se hizo hombre, Amor crucificado y resucitado, Amor incesantemente presente entre los hombres ”. San Juan Pablo II

    Karol Wojtyla era un joven cuando los nazis invadieron Polonia en 1939. Su formación en el seminario se llevó a cabo en secreto y en 1946 fue ordenado con Polonia ahora bajo el control de los soviéticos. Se desempeñó como sacerdote y obispo bajo el régimen comunista y luego fue elegido Papa en 1978.

    A lo largo de su vida desarrolló una gran devoción a la Santísima Virgen, consagró su vida a ella y escri-bió este poema titulado “Totus Tuus”.

    Inmaculada Concepción, María Madre mía, vive en mí, actúa en mí, habla en mí y por mí. Piensa tus pensamientos en mi mente, Ama a través de mi corazón… Enséñame, condúceme y guíame a Jesús… Posee mi alma. Toma el control de toda mi personalidad y mi vida, reemplázala contigo mismo ... Ora en mí y a través de mí, déjame vivir en ti y mantenerme en

    esta unión siempre. Amén.

    Que nos lleve a ver a María a través de los ojos de Dios Padre, que la eligió para ser madre de su Hijo. Que también noso-tros dependamos verdaderamente de ella para que nos lleve a Jesús.

    Fr. Cooper’s Corner A New American Blessed

    The December 7, 2019, beatification of an American, LaSallian Brother James Alfred Miller, a native of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, who was martyred for the faith in Guatemala in 1982, is a great blessing for the Church. Pope Francis, in his 2018 exhortation on holiness, Gaudete et Exsultate, wrote about the “saints next door,” and in many ways Blessed James is an all-American holy neighbor. He was born in 1944 and grew up working hard on his family’s dairy and chicken farm in Custer, Wisconsin, praying at home, and wanting to be a priest. He was fascinated by other countries, reading an encyclopedia from cover to cover to get to know foreign countries and regions where he hoped to bring the faith.

    When he entered Pacelli High School and met the Brothers of the Christian Schools, he quickly discerned he had a vocation to share in their educational apostolate. He entered the juniorate of the community at 15 (much like boys at that time could enter high school seminaries at 14), became a postulant and novice at 18, professed first vows at 21, and final vows at 26. He was sent by the Christian Brothers to St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota, where, hoping to share in their missionary apostolates, he got both Bachelors’ and Master’s degrees in Spanish. He was described by those who knew him as likable, sociable, simple, humble, generous, honest, kind, intelligent, ordered, courageous, prayerful, zealous, and hardworking. His fellow Christian Brothers dubbed him a “common, good guy,” “very human,” “a man of union and communion,” who had the “gift of gab,” a perpetual smile, “deep faith and love for his religious vocation,” and a contagious, boisterous guffaw.

    He also, they noted, was perpetually “late to class and community prayers,” something that Cardinal José Luis Lacunza of Panama, presiding over his beatification, joked had prepared him very well for service in Latin America, “where punctuality is not numbered among our virtues!” His first assignment was to teach Spanish, English, and religion for a few years at Cretin High School in St. Paul, Minnesota. While there, he supervised the maintenance of the school, earning the nickname “Brother Fix-It.” He also coached football, a sport at which, at 6’2” and 220 pounds, he was prone to excel. In 1969, after a fellow Christian Brother got sick at the Brothers’ school in Bluefield, Nicaragua, “Hermano Santiago” was sent to replace him. For four-plus years, he taught sixth grade, then high school, while also repairing the residence, running a bookstore, and starting a soccer team.

    In 1974, Brother James was transferred to Puerto Cabezas where, as director of the school, he catalyzed an increase of enrollment from 300 to 800 students, helped build an industrial arts complex, offices, an auditorium and science center, taught, founded a volunteer fire department, and served as janitor, fixing the plumbing, cleaning the bathrooms and sweeping the floor. His practical know-how won the attention of the Somoza Government, who contracted him to build ten more schools in the rural region so that the children of the area would have a chance at an education.

    When the Sandinistas took over the country, because of his having erected schools for the Somoza government and his general work of education and care for the human dignity of people long-neglected, he was put on a list of those to be “dealt with.” His superiors, therefore, decided to summon him back to Cretin High School in Minnesota. He feared that the people of Puerto Cabezas would see his departure as an act of cowardice and so he wrote them telling them he would return, but he never got his wish. After two years of trying to return to Latin America, his superiors sent him to their Mission in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, to teach at the Indigenous House School and work at the Indian Center, training indigenous Mayans in agricultural techniques, leadership skills, and basic educational subjects.

    St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle had told his spiritual sons, “Your zeal must go so far that you are ready to give your life, so dear to you are the children entrusted to you,” and Hermano Santiago took his founder’s instruction to heart. His new assignment was as dangerous as the one in Nicaragua. The Guatemalan government regularly

  • Loving Merci ful ly , L iving Marian.

    Page 9

    conscripted indigenous students, even though they were exempt by law, into service. The government resented the Christian Brothers’ constantly appearing to present documentation to liberate their students. Word quickly spread that members of the G-2 death squad were looking for the “sub-director,” Brother James’ office at the school.

    He well knew the danger, but responded with humor, realism. and faith. When asked if he were afraid, he replied, “Are you kidding? I never thought I could pray with such fervor when I go to bed!” He wrote his sister a month before he died, “One of two frightening things could happen to me in Guatemala: I could be kidnapped, tortured and killed or I could simply be gunned down.” He added, however, “You don’t think about that, that’s not why you’re there. There’s too much to be done. You can’t waste your energy worrying about what might happen. If it happens, it happens.” He insisted, “I pray to God for the grace and strength to serve Him faithfully among the poor and oppressed in Guatemala. I place my life in His Providence. I place my trust in Him.”

    On Saturday, February 13, 1982, after returning with students from a picnic, Brother Fix-It mounted a ladder to repair a broken lamp on the outer wall of the school. At 4:15 pm, four hooded men, whom the government would later call “subversive criminal elements,” sped past in a car with windows down and submachine guns loaded. They shot Hermano Santiago seven times in the neck and chest, as shocked children looked on from a window in the school. He fell from the ladder, dead. His funeral was held first in Huehuetenango and then in St. Paul, Minnesota, before he was buried in Ellis, Wisconsin, at a cemetery just outside the family farm. At his beatification on the Huehuetenango soccer field, Cardinal Lacunza called him a “martyr, an excellent educator and an evangelical defender of the poor and oppressed” who “made himself one of us and for us gave his life.” He suggested that Hermano Santiago died in witness of Christ’s great commission to teach all nations and was an icon of Christ the Teacher who died to give witness to the truth. “There is nothing that bothers totalitarianisms…more than education,” Lacunza said, since the greatest way to ensure that people remain docile to manipulation is by keeping them “ignorant, without criteria or values.” If education is subversive to tyrants, the Gospel is even more of a threat.

    One of the Christian brothers who had known Blessed James throughout his religious life said he loved to do things “very quietly, behind the scenes,” and “never asked for recognition.” Now, all he did is in the foreground, with his having received the most important acknowledgment a human being can. His beatification shows that the Lord continues to exalt the humble. It also shows that the greatest in the kingdom of heaven remain those who keep the faith and teach others to do the same.

    For women discerning religious life, ages 18-45, the Dominican Sisters of Peace invite you to a mini-retreat where

    you can ponder and explore the meaning of Advent as you wait in joyful hope for where God is calling you.

    Come to pray, listen, and share hope together on Sunday, November 29 from 2—5pm ET. You

    DIVINE WORSHIP AND SACRED MUSIC

    Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

    Memorare

    REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

    Family Prayer

    Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times or war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

When people laughed and made fun of me, you were my friend in me of need. O come, come, come into my Father's house. O come, come, come on home. By: J. Ango ©2008 World Library Publica ons.

    Communion In Christ Alone 1. In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light my strength, my song; This Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are s lled, when strivings cease. My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand 2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh, fulness of God in helpless babe! This gi of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save. Till on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was sa sfied. For every sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live. 3. There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain; Then, burs ng forth in glorious Day, up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ. 4. No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me;

    From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my des ny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand; Till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand! Keith Ge y, Stuart Townend. ©2001 Thankyou Music.

    Memorare

    Acuérdate, oh piadosísima Virgen María!, que jamás se ha oído decir que ninguno de los que han acudido a tu protección, implorando tu auxilio, haya sido desamparado. Animado por esta confianza, a Ti acudo, Madre, Virgen de la vírgenes, y gimiendo bajo el peso de mis pecados me atrevo a comparecer ante Ti. Madre de Dios, no deseches mis súplicas, antes bien, escúchalas y acógelas benignamente. Amen.

    Oración a San Miguel Arcángel

    O San Miguel, Arcángel defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestra protección contra el mal y las trampas del diablo; humildemente te rogamos que Dios los reprenda. O Principe Celestial de la Santa Hostia, que con la ayuda de Dios eches a satanás al infierno y a los espíritus que vagan por el mundo para arruinar las almas. Amén.

    Nuestra Oración Familiar

    Dios amoroso y fiel, a través de los años el pueblo de nuestra arquidiócesis ha apreciado las oraciones y el amor de Nuestra Señora del Pronto Socorro en tiempos de guerras, desastres, epidemias y enfermedad. Venimos a Ti, Padre, con María nuestra Madre, y te pedimos nos ayudes en

    la batalla de hoy contra la violencia, el asesinato y el racismo. Te implo-ramos que nos des la sabiduría para construir una comunidad fundada en los valores de Jesús, que conceden respeto a la vida y dignidad a todas las personas. Bendice a los padres para que formen a sus hijos en fe. Bendice y protege a nuestros jóvenes para que sean hacedores de paz en nuestro tiempos. Da consuelo a los que han perdido a seres queridos debido a la violencia. Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, Nuestro Señor. Amén.

    Nuestra Señora del Pronto Socorro, apresúrate a socorrernos.

    Madre Henrieta Delille, ruega por nosotros para que seamos una familia Santa.
