2 September 13, 2015 Page 2 1. The thumb is the closest finger to you. So start praying for those who are closest to you. They are the persons easiest to remember. To pray for our dear ones is a sweet obligation. 2. The next finger is the index. Pray for those who teach you, instruct you and heal you. They need the support and wisdom to show direction to others. Always keep them in your prayers. 3. The following finger is the tallest. It reminds us of our leaders, the governors and those who have authority. They need God s guidance. 4. The fourth finger is the ring finger. Even that it may surprise you, it is our weakest finger. It should remind us to pray for the weakest, the sick or those plagued by problems. They need our prayers. 5. And finally we have our smallest finger, the smallest of all. Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. when you are done praying for the other four groups, you will be able to see your own needs but in the proper perspective, and also you will be able to pray for you own needs in a better way. AUBURN INTERFAITH FOOD CLOSET September is Hunger Action Month. You may receive a donation bag on your front porch during this month.

3 Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 Parish Mission Statement Guided by the Holy Spirit and following the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church, the Mission of St. Joseph is to be the best administered and most caring parish in Sacramento Diocese, through our liturgies, faith formation and social services for the benefit of the community of Auburn and vicinity. A Message from our Deacon Mark Personal Commitment is what Christ Desires Jesus is the Lord, the Savior sent by God to redeem the world, the Son of God made man. That's what St. Peter asserts in today's Gospel, and Jesus doesn't contradict him. Yet many people do not consider Him to be so. Some say He was a great philosopher, a good teacher, or a misguided lunatic. This question of our Lord's true identity is one that people have argued about non-stop for the last twenty centuries. Even for those of us who claim to be committed Catholics, it is an important question. But the important thing about today's Gospel passage is not only the fact that the question is raised, but how the question is presented. Jesus actually asks His disciples two questions: "Who do people say that I am?" and "Who do you say that I am?" It is not enough for us to discuss His identity in an abstract, academic way. Sometimes earthly rulers are satisfied with a superficial allegiance - as long as they get our vote, they won't try to invade our personal space. Christ's Kingdom doesn't work that way. To be a Christian by name only, a nominal or cultural Catholic, as it is sometimes called, does not suffice. It is not enough to know what other people say about Jesus; we each need to encounter and respond to Him personally. We need to proclaim His lordship not only with our lips, but with our lives. We need to say not only that Jesus is the Lord, but that He is our Lord, my Lord, and that we are willing to follow wherever He leads. It is this personal adherence to Jesus Christ, this taking of responsibility for our Faith, that opens the door to spiritual maturity and the wisdom, joy, and interior peace that spiritual maturity brings with it. God bless you! Young Adults Ages Mondays 7:00pm Large Conference Room Call Sarah Huckins Thank you to our special events committee for organizing our Cajun Dinner!

6 Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 6 All good giving and every perfect gift is from above... Jam 1:17 Scrip is simply a term that means substitute money. Scrip fundraising allows our parish family to raise money for our Catholic school by using gift cards, or scrip to pay for everyday purchases. Families can buy gift cards using cash or checks by stopping at the School Office, or order online at and pay face value. The school orders the gift cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center for less than face value, and the school gets to keep the difference, or rebate; that s where the fundraising comes from. It s really that simple! When families use scrip gift cards instead of cash, checks or credit cards at their favorite retailers, they are fundraising while they shop. Our Scrip program offers a huge variety of retailers, including grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and so much more, so it s easy to make scrip a part of any shopping routine. Just by regularly using scrip for weekly purchases, a single family can easily generate $500 or more annually for the school. PLEASE try shopping online, use a prestopay account and shop online. Our enrollment code for online shopping is C9CDEC Create your free account by clicking on the green Family Sign Up box on, shopwithscrip.com, then shop whenever and wherever you want. Remember the 3 - G's: GROCERIES, GAS and GOD! Thank you for your support through SCRIP!!
