Don t forget your favorite blanket & pillow! Sponsored by St Philip Neri Youth Ministry GOD S LAWS God s laws are not intended to burden or torment us. Instead they are guideposts that point us in the direction of good living. Accordingly, good living requires loving God and loving one another. We should not follow God s laws out of fear of what might happen if we don t, but rather view them as a foundation for building relationships and trust with one another and with God. The Shema prayer of Orthodox Jews is based on the reading from Deuteronomy today, Hear, O Israel. Every morning people recite the prayer as a profession of their love for God and pledge their obedience to God throughout the day. They pass on their love of God to their children, from one generation to the next.

3 Do you know The Four Pillars of Stewardship? The four pillars of hospitality, prayer, formation and service invite parishioners to experience, witness and live the stewardship way of life in response to their baptismal call to discipleship. Individually, each baptized person is called to give of time, talent and treasure to strengthen these four pillars that support the parish community. Conversely, by making our parishes places of hospitality, prayer, formation and service, we provide greater opportunities for the sharing of time, talent and treasure. As a parish embraces stewardship as a way of life, the members of the stewardship parish recognize their responsibility not only to their own parish, but also to the diocese, the community and the Universal Church. Strengthening the pillars of hospitality, prayer, formation and service make us faithful disciples to the love given us freely by our loving God. As faithful stewards, our only response to these gifts received is gratitude. Living stewardship is a disciple s response to our God, who has given us everything that is good! Hospitality, Prayer, Formation, Service is the life of the Church and each daughter and son of God is invited to embrace this stewardship way of life each day because, we are the Church. We are called to be good stewards of God s many gifts, blessings and graces as we take responsibility for them and have accountability with how we utilize them. This is how we love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength; and love our neighbor as ourselves. How do you live these four pillars?

Please call the Rectory! 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time The Jewish Shema If you were to visit the home of any observant Jew, even today, you would see, attached to the doorpost, a small cylinder or box called a mezuzah. Inside is a small parchment scroll on which is written words from today s first reading, Listen, Israel: The Lord our God is the One Lord. Today s reading instructs us to let these words be written on our hearts. They are to be recited many times a day: on rising and retiring; on coming into a house and going out; as part of morning prayer and evening prayer; and they are to be diligently taught to children. As part of the daily prayer of Jesus, a faithful Jew, this immediately comes to his lips when asked which is the first of all the commandments of the Law. But then Jesus also links this with the command from Leviticus, You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus understood that to love God with all your heart and soul, mind and strength, needs to be expressed in action towards those among we live. In the Eucharist we participate with Jesus in that eternal offering of humanity s love and worship of the Father; and we receive from the Father the outpouring of His love and mercy as we receive Jesus in Holy Communion. The first commandment of the Law is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and the second is to love our neighbor as ourselves. The best way for us to fulfill this command is to share in the life of the Church; daily.

Exodus 20:18 Join Sr. Camille at 407 2nd St, Jennings, LA *Nov 8 at 6pm & Nov 9 at noon TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Just two years ago, we engaged in one of the core activities of our democratic system: a presidential election. Actually, the institution of election can be traced to traditions in the Church, and although bishops are no longer chosen in this way, abbots and abbesses (heads of monastic communities) have almost always been elected by full voting members of their communities. The lifetime appointment begins when the monks or nuns are gathered in chapter at the death or resignation of the abbot, and fortunately for all involved, campaigning is not allowed! The members of the community discern, with prayer to the Holy Spirit, who among them is the best suited for leadership. Once chosen, the new leader requests the blessing of the local bishop, who usually presides at a ceremony of consecration or investiture. The ballots are always secret, and a simple majority must be achieved. In our American system the Electoral College is the determining voice in the presidential election, not the popular election on a November Tuesday, just as the monastic chapter is the electorate. Today, most religious orders elect general superiors in chapter by delegates of the professed members, and usually for a term of six years. A few, like the Jesuits, elect for life. At least we don t have that weight on our shoulders when we choose a president. Four years at a time will do!
