Pastor’s Letter October 26/27

A Heritage of Faith

Dear Parish Family, This week I attended the funeral of Bishop James J. Daly, who passed away on October 14. Jim was an auxiliary bishop in our diocese and was active from 1977 until his retirement in 1996. If you were a young adult in those days, there is a good chance the Bishop Daly was the bishop who confirmed you. Among the priests of our diocese, Bishop Daly was known for his quiet sense of wisdom and kindness. He was a true peacemaker in many difficult situations and could always be counted on to do or say the right thing. Bishop Daly was also the bishop who ordained me and my classmate, Fr. Chris Heller. Over the years we would often get together with him near the date of our ordination. I particularly remember the three of us having dinner to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We thought ten years was a long time to be a priest. He laughed at us. He knew we had a long way to go. At his funeral Mass, I was thinking about how the gift of priesthood came to me through his blessing. One of our beliefs as Catholics, is that each priest can trace his ordination back to Jesus and the apostles. There are even websites that allow one to trace this priestly history. Most priests can trace their ordination back to the 1500’s – bishop by bishop. In my case, Bishop Daly was ordained by Bishop McGann who was ordained by Bishop Kellenberg and then to Cardinal McIntyre, Cardinal Spellman, and Cardinal Pacelli, who became Pope Pius XII. I can actually count 20 more generations into the 16th century, at which point the history becomes a little complicated. Still, tracing ones history back 25 generations is not too bad. But such inheritance is not unique to priests. Every one of us has received faith from another: from parents and grandparents, from godparents and sponsors. Faith is even inherited from people who bear no ordinary relationship to us but who have inspired us with their lives. Think about yourself as a believer. Who has inspired you to think, believe, and live as you do? Who makes you who you are as a Christian man or woman? Next week we celebrate All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Both days remind us to honor those who have gone before us and have given us the gift of faith. Some are famous in the history of the church; some are honored by only a few family and friends. That part matters little. What does matter is that each of us takes our turn in passing along the gift of faith. Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Michael A. Vetrano

Faith in our Modern World :: What do We Believe About the Life to Come Monday October 28 at 7 PM with Fr. Mike Vetrano In November - the month of All Saints and All Souls - we turn our attention to faith in eternal life. Catholic Faith in the Resurrection lies at the center of our religion but what do we believe and what can we know about life beyond the grave. In this lecture we will look at many facets of this reality including: What the gospels tell us about risen life? What do we mean by resurrection of the body? Can we be present to those who have died and are they present to us? Is there any evidence of eternal life? What do other religions have to say about life after death?

Each year the St. Agnes Medal of Service is awarded to an individual or couple who have served their parish community and church in an exemplary way.

He has been a tireless supporter of Catholic education, always willing to help at OLH or McGann-Mercy. Marsha is a leader in many ministries here at SHJM. She is an active catechist and has given her time and talent to photographing our church for our Jubilee journal and the materials to help others appreciate the beauty and history of our Basilica church.

Actitud Llena de Fe - Ante el Señor que siempre nos auxilia, debemos colocar una actitud libre y llena de fe. Aún así, somos libres de escoger dicha actitud. El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta a dos personajes que reflejan dos actitudes diferentes: el fariseo que ora por sí mismo y el publicano que dirige su corazón humildemente a Dios. Así como san Pablo en la segunda lectura se dispone a entregarse al martirio con confianza y entereza, nosotros debemos afrontar las dificultades de la vida, en la humildad y la honestidad de lo que somos ante el Señor y no con una actitud llena de caprichos. Los textos de la liturgia deben ofrecerle un reto concreto a la asamblea que celebra su fe en la liturgia de hoy. ¿Estamos creciendo en humildad y un espíritu de entrega ante el Señor y el prójimo? By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción 2013 © 2012, OCP. All rights reserved

La Trampa - "¿Soy yo el fariseo?" El evangelio de hoy nos hace reflexionar sobre lo fácil que es caer en la trampa y creernos santos. A veces nos consideramos mejor que los demás o pensamos que Dios debe escucharnos antes que a los que creemos menos dignos. Dios escucha la oración de todo su rebaño. Imitemos a los sencillos y humildes. Unámonos todos en la oración. By María Dolores Martínez from Liturgia y Canción 2004, © 2004, OCP. All rights reserved.

APOSTOLADO HISPANO

Intenciones del Papa para Octubre General: Que quienes se sienten agobiados hasta el extremo de desear el fin de su vida, adviertan la cercanía amorosa de Dios. Misionera: Que la Jornada Misionera Mundial nos anime a ser destinatarios y también anunciadores de la Palabra de Dios. Con Todo el Corazón - “Dios mío, ten piedad de mí, __________________________________________ que soy un pecador”.

October 27, 2013 Kid’s Page Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sharing the Gospel During Mass you will hear the priest and people say, "Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy." It means, "Lord, forgive me." You are human. You will make mistakes. God is proud when you are honest and admit that you did something wrong. He smiles when you forgive yourself and others. He frowns when you talk and act like you are better than others. God wants you to do right. Prayer Lord, please forgive me. Something to Draw Draw yourself at home or church praying to ask God to forgive you. Mission for the Week I will ask God for forgiveness morning, noon, and night.
