Mass: Tuesday - Saturday Jubilee Year of Mercy October 2, 2016 Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Jubilee of Marian Devotion begins next Saturday "How long, O LORD?" (Habakkuk 1:2). With Habakkuk's question echoing across twenty-six hundred years, Respect Life Sunday finds all life claiming sanctuary in our hearts: unborn infant, senior citizen, immigrant and refugee, imprisoned and addicted, people burdened with illness and disabilities of body, mind, or spirit. Even Mother Earth, Pope Francis notes in Laudato Si', bears scars of disrespect for the life she nurtures and sustains. Life is still threatened, as in Habakkuk's day, with ruin and misery, "destruction and violence,... strife and clamorous discord" (see 1:3). Since our efforts so often seem ineffective, we "unprofitable servants" cry with the apostles, "Increase our faith" (Luke 17:10, 5). But Jesus' reply might be paraphrased, "Not quantity-- quality." Next weekend marks the Jubilee Year of Mercy's special devotion to Mary, whose willingness to shelter Jesus in her womb and stand at the foot of his cross bears witness to the qualities that Jesus expects our faith to manifest: the willingness to trust, to risk, and to dare to speak up for life. --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Fr. Jon & Bibliodrama (First Session) This Monday, October 3 6:30pm in the Parish Hall Library One aim of Bibliodrama is to find out what the story figures think but don t say. Even though the story took place in the past it is presented as if it were in the present moment the here-and-now. The goal is not to give the right answer, but to expand upon the predicament or the action of the protagonist in the story and to imagine why the characters act as they do. Here are some questions that can arise in a story: If you were the protagonist in the story (e.g., Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer), how might you have played it? What would you say to yourself that could not be heard by others? Can you see yourself in the role of the overseer, or Pharaoh, or the Israelite slaves? What inner conflicts would you have? (Pick up a brochure in the church vestibule) Participants please sign up at the parish office: (619) Blessed Sacrament Cares for Kids Meets: THIS Monday, Oct. 3 6:00pm -7:00pm - Parish Hall For more info. call: Teresa (619) FREE Monthly Writers Workshop Wed.

But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me, the priests who absolved me from my sins, the priests at whose Masses I assisted & who gave me Your body & blood in Communion, the priests to whom I am indebted any other way especially (name.) O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time & in eternity. Amen. --St. Therese of Lisieux Monday ~ October 3 Bishop Robert Brom Tuesday ~ October 4 Bishop Gilbert Chavez Wednesday ~ October 5 Rev. Gilbert Gentile, SJ Thursday ~ October 6 Rev. Msgr.
