The Parish Budget for Fiscal Year 2015 (7/1/15 - 6/30/16) is based on the giving of our faith family for Fiscal Year 2014. The portion of our budget contributed in envelopes, checks and loose cash is $1,768,000.00 or $34,000.00 per week. Contributions for the 14th weekend of the fiscal year were $33,175.00 In the 14th week of our fiscal year, our budgeted goal for ministry programs and ordinary operating expense is $476,000.00 and our collections are $458,389.00. Thank you for your continuing generosity.

May God bless you in your sacrificial giving. Lord, help me move from comfort to sacrifice.

How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good He has done for me? (Psalm 116:12)

28th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Jesus encounters the rich young man in today’s gospel recorded in Mark 10:17-30. He asks a

question of Jesus which we should all consider, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal

life?” Mk 10:17. Jesus responds by quoting from the Decalogue. Clearly this should refute those

who say that Jesus abrogated the ten commandments. No, actually Jesus calls us to a higher

interpretation of the commandments, a more demanding approach which says, for example, that

even my anger with my brother breaks the fifth commandment, “thou shalt not kill”–cf. Mt 5:22.

This rich young man alleges that he had observed these commands since his childhood. Then, Jesus looks at him with love

and calls the young man to follow him, after having given up his earthly treasures. But apparently his possessions possessed

him! The rich young man left Jesus and went away sad–cf. Mk 10:22. Perhaps we should reflect upon how attached we are

to our own possessions. We may have many liberties in our nation, but very little freedom because we are so attached to

things. We tend to use people and love things rather than love people and use things! When this happens, we are subject to

an inversion which takes us into an upside down reality that eventually imprisons us. Our consumer based culture tends to

exacerbate the problem with a throw-away mentality as we search for the latest, the newest, the biggest as our “must have”

object to love. Let us pray for discernment to see where this is happening in our lives and for detachment to overcome the

obsession with our things, which cannot bring us enduring happiness.

ST. FRANCIS AWARD

I am pleased to announce that our parishioner, Mrs. Judie Youngman, was awarded the

St. Francis of Assisi award this past Monday at the Cathedral of St. Francis. Judie has served as a coordinator

of our Social Concerns Committee for decades as well as a Communion Minister at Mass. In addition, Judie

serves on our Parish Pastoral Council, bringing her insights from so many years of service to the needy of our

parish community. Thank you, Judie, for touching us with your gentle and gracious service to God and

neighbor here at Annunciation Parish and beyond. Congratulations and God bless you and yours!

ANNULMENTS

There has been a great deal of discussion about declarations of nullity, better known as annulments, during the last year and

the Synod of Bishops on the Family. Some refer to annulments as Catholic divorce, which they are not. In fact, we heard

clearly from Jesus himself that divorce was permitted by Moses only because of the people’s hardness of heart– cf. Mk 10:5.

Jesus calls us to the higher standard of a permanent commitment which is unitive, indissoluble, and procreative. Then what is

the annulment process? It is a process which investigates whether there was anything missing in the marriage commitment

from the very beginning. Rather than a failed marriage, it declares whether there was ever a real marriage to begin with or

not. You might say that there was a ceremony and then children thereafter, so what is there to question. The questions deal

with intentions from the beginning like true freedom to marry, commitment to fidelity, openness to new life and permanence

in the relationship, to name a few. Due to the backlog of cases, many have waited for years to get their case heard and to

receive a decision. Pope Francis has recently offered means by which to streamline the process and render decisions more

expeditiously. Nonetheless, the presumption in all cases is that the marriages are valid unless and until they are proven

otherwise. Please pray for those in the process so that it can be a time of healing and restoration for the dignity of true

marriage and the sacrament of matrimony.

WORLD MISSIONS COLLECTION Next weekend, we will take up the annual collection for the World Missions. Please be generous to the missionaries

and their people as they further establish the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Many Catholics are still

enduring persecution and suffering simply because they are Christians in a hostile environment. Let us show them

our support through prayer and sacrifice in this collection.

PRIESTS CONVOCATION Remember your priests this week as we gather in Taos for the annual convocation of priests. You will be

remembered in the Masses there as we trust in your prayers at the services here. Our retired, visiting priests will be

offering all the Masses here during the week.

PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Our Lady of the Annunciation Roman Catholic Parish is a people of living faith rooted in the Gospel,

centered on the Eucharist and led by the Holy Spirit.

We are inspired by the example of Mary to continue the mission of Jesus Christ by ministering to all.

FAMILY CENTERED RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Dear Parishioners,

For the next two weeks I am changing the usual format of my

bulletin page in order to publish two accounts of the pilgrimages

that the Perez family and the Seabrooks family (10/18) made to

love for all us from Pope Francis. Enjoy!
