Pastor’s Corner EVERY YEAR, SOMETHING

SPECIAL HAPPENS on the next-to-last Sunday of October. WORLD MISSION SUNDAY joins all Catholics of the world – all of us children of God – into one community of faith. At Mass that Sunday, we recommit ourselves to our common vocation, through Baptism, to be missionaries, through prayer, participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

This year, Pope Francis addresses his World Mission Sunday message to us as we live out the adventure of being children of God. What a wonderful way to imagine the mission we have received from the Lord! It is a revitalizing adventure. When all the children of God, at every stage of life, reflect on the fact that our lives are a mission, our faith remains ever young.

As we pray and respond on World Mission Sunday here at home, we share in those celebrations taking place in every parish, seminary, school and convent all over the world. Together with children of God in every corner of the globe, we become voices for mission, providing the prayerful and financial support necessary to bring the Lord’s mercy and concrete help to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions.

In a world where so much divides us, World Mission Sunday rejoices in our unity as children of God, His missionaries! And it provides an opportunity to support the life-giving presence of the Church among the poor and marginalized in more than 1,111 mission dioceses.

TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY. We celebrate this day by remembering the revitalizing mission at the heart of our Christian faith – to bring the Gospel to all! The second collection today for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith ensures the work and service of the Mission Church, as it supports priests, religious and lay leaders who offer the Lord’s mercy and concrete help to the most vulnerable communities in the Pope’s missions. Thank you for your generosity. For more information on World Mission Sunday, see www.missio.org.

Have a great week! Fr. Keith

Notas del Pastor TODOS LOS AÑOS SUCEDE ALGO

ESPECIAL el penúltimo domingo de octubre. El Domingo Mundial de las Misiones une a todos los católicos del mundo, a todos nosotros los hijos de Dios, en una sola comunidad de fe. En la misa de ese Domingo, nos comprometemos nuevamente con nuestra vocación común, mediante el bautizo, a ser misioneros a través de la oración, la participación en la Eucaristía y aportando generosamente a la colecta para la Sociedad para la Propagación de la Fe. Este año, el Papa Francisco nos dirige su mensaje del Domingo Mundial de las Misiones a medida que vivimos la aventura de ser hijos de Dios. ¡Qué maravillosa forma de imaginar la misión que hemos recibido del Señor! Esta es una aventura revitalizadora. Cuando todos los hijos de Dios, en cada etapa de sus vidas, reflexionen sobre el hecho de que nuestras vidas son una misión, nuestra fe permanecerá por siempre joven. Cuando oramos en casa y respondemos al Domingo Mundial de las Misiones, compartimos estas celebraciones que se llevan a cabo en todas las parroquias, seminarios, escuelas y conventos del mundo. Juntos, con los hijos de Dios de todos los rincones del planeta, nos convertimos en las voces de la misión, proporcionando las oraciones y el apoyo financiero necesario para llevar la misericordia del Señor y ayuda concreta a las comunidades más vulnerables de las misiones del Papa. En un mundo donde tantas cosas nos dividen, el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones se regocija en nuestra unidad como hijos de Dios, ¡sus misioneros! Además, ofrece la oportunidad de apoyar la presencia vivificadora de la Iglesia para los pobres y marginados de más de 1.111 diócesis misioneras. HOY ES EL DOMINGO MUNDIAL DE LAS MISIONES. Celebramos este día recordando la misión revitalizadora que es el corazón de nuestra fe cristiana: ¡llevar el Evangelio a todas las personas! La segunda colecta de hoy para la Sociedad para la Propagación de la Fe asegura el trabajo y servicio de la Iglesia Misionera, ya que apoya a los sacerdotes, líderes religiosos y líderes laicos quienes ofrecen la misericordia del Señor y ayuda concreta a las comunidades más vulnerables de las misiones del Papa. Gracias por su generosidad. Para más información, www.missio.org

¡Que tengas una buena semana! P. Keith

Hurricane Florence has left much devastation in her

wake. While forecasters had been able to predict her path and

ferocity, the effects that have crippled areas of Georgia and the Carolinas have come from

the flooding, especially in western areas of these states which

are not generally in western areas of these states which are not generally affected by hurricanes.

To aid in the recovery, the United States conference of Catholic Bishops has called for a special collection to be taken up across the United States. Bishop Schlert

has authorized this collection for the weekend of October 27-28, 2018. The funds will be administered

by catholic Charities USA. ___________________________________________________________

Remembering our Deceased Loved Ones November 5th

The liturgical year closes in November. Many of the themes of Sunday mass during this time remind us of the last things-death, judgement, heaven and hell. As

you recall, one of the spiritual works of mercy is praying for the living and dead.

On Monday, November 5th at 7pm we will be celebrating a Mass of Remembrance. During this

mass, we remember all those individuals who have died from the parish in the last year. We also have the opportunity to pray for any of our deceased family & friends. You are invited to come earlier to write the

names of your loved ones in the Memorial Book. After Mass, please join us for some light refreshments in the

Social Hall. ___________________________________________

Every child is taught the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be when they are young. But the

Church has a treasury of prayers from her tradition. Each month we would like to highlight a specific prayer and invite you to pray it each day or even to memorize it where it will be secure within

your memory. Prayer For Healing Victims of Abuse

God of endless love,

ever caring, ever strong, always present, always just:

You gave your only Son to save us by the blood of his cross.

Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace,

join to your own suffering the pain of all who have been hurt

in body, mind, and spirit by those who betrayed the trust placed in them.

Hear our cries as we agonize

over the harm done to our brothers and sisters. Breathe wisdom into our prayers, soothe restless hearts with hope, steady shaken spirits with faith:

Show us the way to justice and wholeness, enlightened by truth and enfolded in your

mercy.

Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, heal your people’s wounds

and transform our brokenness. Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and

grace, so that we may act with justice

and find peace in you. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

A cada niño se le enseña el Padrenuestro, el Avemaría y la Gloria cuando son pequeños. Pero la Iglesia tiene

un tesoro de oraciones de su tradición. Cada mes quisiéramos resaltar una oración específica e invitarlo a orarla todos los días o incluso a memorizarla en un

lugar seguro dentro de su memoria.

Oración para Sanar a Víctimas de Abuso

Dios de amor sin fin, siempre cariñoso, siempre fuerte, siempre presente, siempre justo:

Tu diste a tu único Hijo para salvarnos por la sangre de su cruz.

Gentil Jesús, pastor de la paz, únete a tu propio sufrimiento

el dolor de todos los que han sido heridos en cuerpo, mente y espíritu

por aquellos que traicionaron la confianza puesta en ellos.

Escucha nuestros gritos mientras agonizamos

sobre el daño hecho a nuestros hermanos y hermanas.

Inspira sabiduría en nuestras oraciones, calma los corazones inquietos con esperanza,

espíritus sacudidos con fe: Muéstranos el camino hacia la justicia y la

integridad, iluminado por la verdad y envuelto en tu

misericordia.

Espíritu Santo, consolador de corazones, cura las heridas de tu pueblo

y transforma nuestro quebrantamiento Danos valor y sabiduría, humildad y gracia,

para que podamos actuar con justicia y encontrar la paz en ti.

Te lo pedimos por medio de Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amen.
