4 From the desk of Sister Patricia Kelly, M.S.B.T. We frequently hear from Tony Magliano, the nationally syndicated Peace and Justice Columnist. Tony has written a children's book about helping children understand peace and justice. The following Book Review is written by Loretta Nemeth, Director of Communications for the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy (Diocese) of Parma and Editor of "Horizons", the eparchy's newspaper. "Tony Magliano, best known as an internationally syndicated social justice and peace columnist, enters the children's book genre with Cracks in the Sidewalk." In it, Magliano stays true to his vocation to instilling the seeds of social justice, 'sharing, fairness and love for life,' into the minds and hearts of young readers, inviting them to 'deepen their awareness of the many wonders that surround them.' Magliano says the book will 'help young children better appreciate the goodness of God, who showers us with wonderful blessings every day!' The book leads the child from recognizing the work of God in nature, to recognizing it in the caring people in the child's life. A great gift book when shared between adult and child. Cracks in the Sidewalk can be a reminder to the adult to stop and see God's every day miracles around us, too. The delightful, childlike illustrations by Lynn Armstrong give young readers a sense of familiarity and comfort. The book can be ordered under the NEW tab, or the CHILDREN category of the online catalog of Eastern Christian Publications: (70#) for $9.95 plus $5 shipping and handling.

6 Office of the Archdiocese October 11, 2015 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Every year we remember in a special way our Baptismal call to mission as we celebrate World Mission Sunday, this year on October 18. On this Sunday, we will gather at the Eucharist, as will Catholics throughout the world, in a spirit of love for Evangelization. This year's celebration is further enriched as we mark the 50th Anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's Decree on the Missionary Activity of the Church (Ad Gentes) which proclaims, "the pilgrim Church on earth is missionary by its very nature," reminding us that all of us are called to be on Mission. As we remember the World Meeting of Families and the Pope's recent visit, his World Mission Sunday, message may hold a special meaning for us in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. He says, "Mission is part of the 'grammar' of faith, something essential for those who listen to the voice of the Spirit who whispers 'Come' and 'Go forth.' Those who follow Christ cannot fail to be missionaries..."on World Mission Sunday, as our archdiocesan family joins our brothers and sisters around the world, we connect with our world on mission:.... with Africa, where six million children receive an education in some 16,000 Church-run elementary schools... with Asia, where those who are sick are provided with care at 5,000 Catholic hospitals and small clinics... with the Americas, where catechists travel to remote areas to bring the Good News of the God's great love to families...with Oceania, where young men are supported in their studies for the priesthood...with Europe, where new Churches are being built to welcome faith communities, renewed after years of persecution. Your prayers and material support will help the Pontifical Mission Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Holy Father's chief missionary arm, to provide resources to missionaries who proclaim the Gospel and offer help to our brothers and sisters throughout 1,150 mission dioceses. As I have said, "We should always put our money where out heart is... we should be very generous so that our missionaries will be supported not only by our prayer but also have concrete help." thank you in advance for your generous response to the needs of others. Pope Francis emphasizes that "Mission is a passion for Jesus and at the same time a passion for his people." May we have that same passion this World Mission Sunday, as we share the joy of the Gospel and help the poor by our fervent prayer and through generous hearts. Do You Know Your Tribunal? The Tribunal is a group of specially qualified Catholics whose responsibility is to come to the help of people who have experienced divorce and who may wish to remarry in the Catholic Church. When a divorce occurs, the Catholic Church always seeks to balance two realities. One is the unbreakableness of the bond of marriage. This is God's law. It cannot be broken by human intervention. On the other hand, the Church is concerned about the spiritual welfare of the people involved. Was this a true marriage? Even though a Catholic marriage was celebrated, was there perhaps some deficiency in the consent of the parties involved? The annulment procedure addresses this problem. If you are divorced and want to marry in the Church or remarried outside the Catholic Church, please write or telephone the Tribunal Office: 222 N. 17th Street; Philadelphia AREA NEWS CAN YOU HELP? Birthright of Pottstown Needs You! Birthright has been helping pregnant women in Pottstown for 35 years.

7 Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will today the ways that the sacraments are bearing deepen and grow a day at a time. fruit in your life! TODAY S READINGS: Romans 1:1-7; Luke SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, :29-32 (467). Just as Jonah became a TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Wisdom for all ages In parts, the Book of Wisdom is written as if King Solomon is the speaker, although his name appears nowhere in the text, and in fact, the book was written only about 50 years before the birth of Jesus. Wisdom belongs to the Apocrypha, which are seven Old Testament books that are accepted by Catholics but not Protestants. While it may seem ironic that there s some fuzziness about Wisdom, the writing itself provides poetic clarity by personifying wisdom with characteristics of God, reminding us who is the final arbiter. Dip into this wise book for a few moments today. TODAY S READINGS: Wisdom 7:7-11; Hebrews 4:12-13; Mark 10:17-30 (143). I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. MONDAY, OCTOBER 12 Heeding the signs Think about the last time you drove somewhere. When you reached a stop sign, you applied the brake and stopped the car. Now imagine that the sign itself made the car stop! Imagine it made present the thing it signified: stopping. Of course many signs in everyday life walk, yield, wait, to name a few don t have that power. But in our life of faith, signs do! The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the sacraments as efficacious signs of grace that bear fruit in those who receive them... (1131). Consider 059-St. Philip Neri, page 7 sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13 A letter of introduction Saint Paul s letters were most often sent to the Christian communities he helped establish and addressed problems he d encountered firsthand. But not so with the Romans. Paul s letter to them was a form of introduction. They didn t know each other but they were created by the same God. By Christ we are united to each other; that type of connection doesn t require having met before. It s rooted in the heart of God, drawing us together no matter what might stand between us. Remember that during your daily encounters with others. TODAY S READINGS: Romans 1:16-25; Luke 11:37-41 (468). I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 FEAST OF CALLISTUS I, POPE, MARTYR Take a second chance on God If ever there were a patron saint of second chances... and third chances, it would have to be third-century Callistus. He was imprisoned several times for money-related problems and only then changed his ways and became a servant of the church. Perhaps it was his genuine repentance that marked him as a distinguished leader, which led to his ascendancy to the papacy. It is never too late to

8 turn things around, no matter how dire the situation you might find yourself in. Think of Callistus, our patron saint of second chances! TODAY S READINGS: Romans 2:1-11; Luke 11:42-46 (469). You impose on people burdens hard to carry. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15 FEAST OF TERESA OF JESUS, VIRGIN, DOCTOR OF World Food Day and throughout the year to help overcome hunger, such as food drives, advocacy efforts, and meal preparation at local outreach centers. As a church, we re called to bring Christ the bread of life to those hungering for spiritual nourishment. What action might you take today to help bring bread to those who suffer physical hunger as well? THE CHURCH Put some prayer in your action and vice versa Saint Teresa of Ávila, also called Saint Teresa of Jesus, was a dynamo who lived in dynamic times. She was a charismatic Spanish Carmelite during the Counter Reformation not an easy era to be a woman, much less one leading a reform movement. But as outgoing as she was, she knew the importance of time spent in thought and prayer. After all, she was a contemplative, as well as a theologian and a mystic. Restoring your spirit makes you a stronger force for good. But don t think you need to be cloistered to pray properly. As Teresa herself said: It would be extremely difficult if you could only pray in secluded places. Pray any which way you can. TODAY S READINGS: Romans 3:21-30; Luke 11:47-54 (470). We consider that a person is justified by faith apart from works of the law. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 TODAY S READINGS: Romans 4:1-8; Luke 12:1-7 (471). There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 The mystery of grief In disappointment, suffering, and loss, we re obliged to hope against hope, as Saint Paul says of Abraham, a great Hoper-in-Chief. Paul invented this idiom of a hope so farfetched, it was like betting against luck. When we pray the Sorrowful Mysteries, we acknowledge the pain of life so undeniable that it can t be theologized away. Fear of death, physical torment, public humiliation, bearing heavy burdens, and the anguish of final surrender all of this belonged to Jesus, as it does to us. Pray these mysteries for those who hope against hope. TODAY S READINGS: Romans 4:13, 16-18; Luke 12:8-12 (472). [Abraham] believed, hoping against hope, that he would become the father of many nations. The bread of life World Food Day challenges us to take action to eradicate hunger within our lifetime. It s a daunting challenge. According to the United Nations, 805 million people live with hunger as an ongoing reality. There are many ways on 059-St. Philip Neri, page 8
