2 THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF GLOUCESTER & ROCKPORT THIRTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME PITTSBURGH STRONG A Message from Cardinal Cupich STATEMENT ON THE TRAGEDY AT THE TREE OF LIFE SYNAGOGUE We reach through our grief and shock to our Jewish brothers and sisters and with them offer our prayers to the Almighty, the God of Abraham. We pray for the healing of those caught in this madness as they gathered in their sanctuary to honor the Sabbath and to rejoice at the naming of an infant. Let us also condemn in the strongest possible terms this anti-semitic act of depravity and the rhetoric, heartlessness, and apathy that have allowed hatred to flourish in our society. Make no mistake. Words incubate evil and allow it space to be accepted. Words can give voice to fearmongering that causes people to arm themselves against anyone who is other. And it will take more than words to stop this predictable maelstrom of hostility and violence that threatens to change our nation. Faced with the horror at the Tree of Life Synagogue, our resolve should be to take action. Let us come together in prayer and remembrance, but also in common cause to find ways to stand against anti-semitism and all similar hatreds. This is a war waged against decency and only by working together, recognizing each other s God-given rights, will society grow in peace and in justice. As Abraham Lincoln said in speaking of the need for national healing: With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right. We also affirm the hope found in the words of the mourner s Kaddish: He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. His Eminence Blase J. Cupich serves as Cardinal-Archbishop of Chicago. Born in 1949 and ordained to the priesthood in 1975, Cardinal Cupich is a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas, the Pontifical North American College, and the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He has served as a pastor, college instructor, and seminary rector. He also served as Bishop of Rapid City in South Dakota ( ) and Bishop of Spokane in Washington ( ). In 2014, he was name Archbishop of Chicago by Pope Francis. His episcopal motto is Peace be with you (John 20:21). 2
3 THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF GLOUCESTER & ROCKPORT NOVEMBER 4, 2018 OUR PASTOR S MESSAGE A Prayer for Faithful Citizenship BY FATHER JIM On Tuesday, November 6th, the American people will be faced with the challenge of entering the voting booth to choose who will represent them in countless offices at the local, state, and national levels. Although I am frequently asked which candidates we, as Catholics, should support, I agree with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) that it is not the place of pastors or bishops to endorse one candidate or one party over another. It is clear that neither political party advocates for policies that are fully consistent with the Catholic Church s teachings on immigration, gun safety, health care, the sanctity of human life, and generous care for the poor, the sick, and the elderly. On some level, this is understandable because politics is a human endeavor and human beings are imperfect. And the same time, Pope Francis has begged us to remember human dignity and the common good when we vote. In this spirit, our best course of action may be to practice good discernment, consult our consciences, and pray for our country, our leaders, and our fellow citizens: Almighty God and Father, as Election Day approaches, we seek to better understand the issues that confront our country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness, so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of violence and abuse, deceit and poverty. We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn or abandoned, and of men and women who are oppressed because of race, creed, religion, or gender. We ask for minds and hearts that are open to the voices of leaders who will bring us closer to you and to each other. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live in your love, and keep the ways of your truth as they strive to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and his Apostles, and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, our Risen Lord and Savior. Amen. During these troubled times, let us remember that we are a community of disciples united in prayer, fellowship, and service to God and to each other. We are called to be people of peace and goodwill. We are called to civility, humility, and kindness. We are called to generosity, mercy, and mutual respect. We are called to love and forgive without counting the cost. And we are called to live the Gospel and give witness to it with our whole lives. Peace and blessings to all!

At each and every holy site along the way, our fellowship of pilgrims will offer prayers and petitions for all who live, work, and worship in the Catholic Community of Gloucester & Rockport that through the intercession of Saint Francis, Saint Clare, and Our Lady of Angels, the Lord will continue to unite us as a community in prayer, fellowship, and service; and to give us the courage and strength to live the Gospel, share God s love, and rebuild our wounded Church.
