6 PRAYER FOR HURRICANE PROTECTION O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awaken from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season we turn to you, O Loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. 0 Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach heavenly Jerusalem where a stormless eternity awaits us. Amen. Reading Rejoice and Be Glad Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your lives. These words are used at Mass to send us back out into the world, to glorify the Lord. But how do we do that? How can our little lives add anything to the splendor and majesty of God? Join us on five consecutive Tuesdays to explore Pope Francis Apostolic Exhortation Rejoice and Be Glad: On the Call to Holiness in Today s World. In five chapters, the Holy Father explores ways in which the Lord calls us all to holiness, each in his or her own way. Sessions will begin at 6PM, and last about an hour. Each session will focus on one of the five chapters of the document. No registration is required. Presenter: Fr. M. Keith LaBove, Pastor Where: St. Patrick Catholic Church 406 E. Pinhook Road, Lafayette, LA When: Tuesdays: November 20, 27 Starting at: 6PM THANKS HOMEBOUND If you are a parishioner who is homebound or know a parishioner who is homebound and unable to attend Mass, Diane Triche, our Minister to the Sick and Homebound, would like to bring Communion to you or another parishioner on a weekly basis while you are unable to come to church.

7 ENCOURAGEMENT This Sunday s Gospel is our final selection from Mark for this liturgical year. It is taken from the end of Jesus teaching in Jerusalem immediately preceding the account of his arrest and passion. In it Jesus gives his disciples hope to sustain them through his passion and death and any persecution or suffering that they would encounter after his resurrection. The words from the book of Daniel also provided hope and encouragement to the people of Daniel s time. The encouragement in these scriptures is meant for us as well, for none of us will escape tribulation in our lives. Followers of Jesus will be able to endure suffering with joyful hope, knowing that Christ s love will lead us along the way of discipleship and give us eternal life with God.

PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION November is a month of remembrance for the dead, and cemeteries have long been a focus for prayer. Our tradition holds great respect for bodily remains, since the body was created and redeemed by God, was once the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, and has a destiny of life with God in glory. The funeral practices of the early church contrasted greatly with those of the pagans, who had a great dread of the dead body. The ancient Christian funeral liturgy ended with the relatives and friends giving a final kiss to the body. It expressed affection and showed their faith that the grave would not be the last word. This kiss horrified pagans, who thought that any contact with the dead was degrading. Every year on their loved one s birthday of life, the Christians would return to the place of their burial to mark their profound communion with those whose lives were hidden in Christ. Typically, they buried the dead with their faces turned toward the east, symbolizing the rising of the Sun of Justice, Christ, at the end of days. They were attracted to the catacombs or burial grounds just as we are today. They would often celebrate the Eucharist at the tomb. Before long, as soon as Christians were allowed to build places for worship, they relocated cemeteries from beyond the city walls to surround the church. This was not so much because the church made the ground holy, but because the bodies of the saints hallowed the ground on which the church was built, a subtle but beautiful difference. - Rev. James Field, J.S. Paluch Co. All are encouraged to pray for the priests who work in the Diocese of Lafayette each day. Every day there is a specific intention for one of our priests for special consideration; the specific intentions this week are: * Monday, Nov 19 th - Rev. Msgr. Russell Harrington * Tuesday, Nov 20 th - Rev. David Hebert * Wednesday, Nov 21 st - Rev. Matthew Hebert * Thursday, Nov 22 nd - Rev. T. J. Hebert * Friday, Nov 23 rd - Rev. Gregory Heslip, LC * Saturday, Nov 24 th - Rev. Matthew Higginbotham * Sunday, Nov 25 th - Rev. Godwin Imoru Prayer: Eternal Father, we lift up to you these and all the priests of the world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of your Son Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing to you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
