This is accomplished through the study of Sacred Scripture and by practicing the traditions handed down to us, especially the seven sacraments. By the help of Jesus' Grace, we seek to imitate Him in His faith, hope and charity so that we can receive His gift of salvation in eternal life.

Mass in Valentin Hall READINGS FOR FAITH SHARING Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Wisdom 7:7-11 I deemed riches nothing in comparison to wisdom. Psalm 90 Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy. Hebrews 4:12-13 The word of God discerns reflections and thoughts of the heart. Mark 10:17-30 Sell what you have, and follow me. In our first reading Solomon chooses wisdom over power or riches because he realizes that wisdom is lasting. Jesus, in the Gospel reading, teaches the rich man the same lesson, noting the incompatibility of wealth and the kingdom of God. This is our challenge today. How are our earthly possessions obstacles to our mission and ultimate goal? PRAY FOR OUR SEMINARIANS -Cade LeBlanc -Matthew Pitre -Michael Vidrine -Sean Fontenot -Luke Johnson St. Thomas More, Eunice St. Thomas More, Eunice St. John, Melville Our Lady Queen of All Saints, Ville Platte Our Lady Queen of All Saints, Ville Platte Father, in your plan for our salvation you provide shepherds for your people. Fill your Church with the spirit of courage and love. AMEN. PRAY FOR A PRIEST EACH DAY Sunday, 10/14 Monday, 10/15 Tuesday, 10/16 Wednesday, 10/17 Thursday, 10/18 Friday, 10/19 Saturday, 10/20 Msgr.

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.

PRAYER FOR HURRICANE SEASON 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 awake 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. O 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 the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.

5 A Retreat Center emerges - In the early 1930s, despite the Great Depression, Bishop Jeanmard set out to establish a new retreat center in the Diocese that could be used for laity and clergy alike. For one hundred years, the Jesuits had resided on the peaceful grounds of Grand Coteau. It was there that Bishop Jeanmard was able to erect a retreat house under the title of Our Lady of the Oaks. The retreat center was built on the grounds of St. Charles College in a distinct Spanish-mission style. The first retreat was held there in October 1938, with Bishop Jeanmard leading the retreat. It continues to serve hundreds of retreatants every year.
