Marie Rose Durocher Tuesday: Our Lady of the Rosary Wednesday: Sukkot (Jewish harvest festival) begins at sunset Thursday: St. Denis and Companions; St. John Leonardi Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty. Your soul quiets and is filled with wonder and awe. If art, created by man, can evoke such a response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect due to each person we encounter, who was handcrafted by the very God who spoke the world into being? Now think of an artist stepping back from a great work of art and admiring his or her creation. When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose, and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece that he or she is. Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God s creation, made in his own image, destined to live forever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.

3 FAZtor s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora The word of the day is PETRICHOR. It a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather. The Fall season has officially started and so the rain has started to fall, but not hard enough to experience this petrichor. We just had a short fall of a rainfall in this season of Fall. So, let us fall on our knees and pray for much needed rain. The fall of the churches was the effect of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in the Province of Bohol in the Philippines. Bohol province has two dioceses: Tagbilaran and Talibon. It is in the diocese of Tagbilaran that most churches were destroyed. The Singing Priests of Tagbilaran held a very successful and enjoyable concert on September 26 th in our Church to raise funds for the reconstruction of those churches. Thank you for your continued support to the universal church. Happily the new church projectors arrived last week and we immediately installed them. We were excited to have new projectors but unfortunately they fall short of our expectations. The projectors do not have the correct distance ratio for the image to be thrown onto our screens. Nonetheless, we were able to use one of the new projectors during the concert. But don t worry, we have already contacted parishioner Frank O Connor, who knows what we need and who was involved in the installation of the current projectors. The fall of food and the spill of liquids made the carpeted floor of the Flanagan Center very soiled. We just had the carpet cleaned and it looks very presentable now. Let us preserve the cleanliness of the floor by making an extra effort not to have anything fall or spill. The next cleaning of the carpet will not be until after all the Holiday parties are over. But if we are all careful with what we eat and drink, so as not to spill or let anything fall to the floor, we might not need to call the carpet cleaning company after the Holidays. The parsonage son said to his mother, I ve decided that I want to be a preacher so that I can clean up the mess the world is in. That s just wonderful, purred his mother. You can go upstairs and start with your room. The fall just reminds of Fr. Pedro Arupe s words on Falling in love. Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in love in a quite and absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything. DAILY ROSARY FOR OUR LADY FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 6:30 PM in the CHAPEL ( th Ave.) The Giving Crib Needs You The Holy Name s Gabriel Project ministry team is organizing baby showers for two pregnant mothers who are presently homeless, living in a shelter, and who are in great need in our community.

Radisson begins class by informing students that they will need to disavow, in writing, the existence of God on that first day, or face a failing grade. As other students in the class begin scribbling the words "God Is Dead" on pieces of paper as instructed, Josh find himself at a crossroads, having to choose between his faith and his future. Josh offers a nervous refusal, provoking an irate reaction from his smug professor. Radisson assigns him a daunting task: if Josh will not admit that "God Is Dead," he must prove God's existence by presenting well-researched, intellectual arguments and evidence over the course of the semester, and engage Radisson in a head-to-head debate in front of the class. If Josh fails to convince his classmates of God's existence, he will fail the course and hinder his lofty academic goals. With almost no one in his corner, Josh wonders if he can really fight for what he believes. Can he actually prove the existence of God? Welcome New Parishioners!

Call to make a reservation or lcheetham@holynamesf.com for more information. SAVE THE DATE: HOLY NAME FRIGHT FEST IS ON OCT. 25 As usual, today s first and third scripture readings are obviously related, with the second continuing one of Paul s Letters these days, the Letter to the Philippians. The vineyard stories from Isaiah and Matthew both talk about evildoers coming to a bad end. In Isaiah, it s the vineyard itself that produces wild grapes instead of the crop the owner dreamed of and worked for. So it will be trampled and overgrown with thorns. In Matthew, those to whom the owner leased the vineyard destroy the dream. So the owner will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants (Matthew 21:41). Yes, if we reject divine love we come to a bad end. And with all this talk of the unfaithful being trampled and thrown out, it s consoling to hear Paul s message to the Philippians, who were by no means perfect. Have no anxiety at all, Paul said. Then the God of peace will be with you (Philippians 4:6, 9). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
