What does God want me to do? In discerning answers to life's questions and dif culties, it doesn't matter what humans permit or even what popular choice dictates. It is what God says that matters. God's will is often dismissed, even by those who claim to believe in Him. We discern God's will by developing a strong and mature prayer life, listening to Scripture and church teaching, consulting church tradition, paying attention to the rhythms of life, and seeking His presence in all we experience and observe. As Jesus realized in his nal hours, it is "not my will but yours be done." Are we ready to follow his example and give ourselves over to what God wants? BULLETIN REQUESTS MUST BE TURNED IN BY FRIDAY AT 3:00PM IN ORDER TO BE PLACED IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND S BULLETIN. SOLICITUDES PARA EL BOLETÍN HAN DE SER ENTREGADAS VIERNES A LAS 3:00PM PARA SER AGREGADOS EN EL BOLETÍN DEL PRÓXIMO FIN DE SEMANA.

3 VISIT OUR PARISH WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION: Question: What is the story behind the rosary? POWER IN MY HANDS MOVIE NIGHT AT ST. HELEN S! Answer: The rosary is a sacred and popular Catholic devotion, but its origins are mysterious. Prayer beads to facilitate meditation began in the early ages of the Church. In the early medieval period, bead strings were used to count Hail Marys or Our Fathers. A tradition has developed that the rosary in its current form was given to St. Dominic by the Blessed Mother. However, the earliest biographies of the saint do not include this story. In the Middle Ages, the prayers were grouped into 50 Hail Marys with verses from the Psalms and vignettes from the lives of Jesus and Mary. By the 16th century, the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries were established. The rosary rose to prominence in the late 1500s. The Turkish Empire was spreading across eastern Europe and pirates were raiding Christian ships. The Christian nations of Europe rallied for a great battle at sea. Pope St. Pius V urged all Christians to pray the rosary for victory. While vastly outnumbered, the Christian fleet was victorious at the Battle of Lepanto. The pope established October 7th as the feast of the Holy Rosary. Later, all of October would come to be known as the Month of the Rosary. VIVIR LA LITURGIA LPI Como discípulo, uno debe hacerse siempre una pregunta muy importante. Qué quiere Dios que yo haga? En discernir las respuestas a las preguntas de la vida, no importa lo que permitan los seres humanos, ni importa lo que sea popular en ese tiempo. Solo importa lo que Dios dice. La voluntad de Dios es descartada muchas veces, hasta por esas personas que dicen creer en Él. Podemos llegar a discernir la voluntad de Dios en desarrollar una vida de oración madura y fuerte, escuchar a las Escrituras y las enseñanzas de la iglesia, prestar atención a los cambios de la vida y buscar Su presencia en todas las cosas. Como Jesús observó en sus últimas horas: "no se haga mi voluntad sino la tuya." Está listo para entregarse a la voluntad de Dios? HAVE A BALL WITH US AT BINGO! Every Wednesday at 5:45 pm.
