THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Pss II Seasonal prop

Prop Gl Cr Sun Pf I-VIII

149:Jer 31:7-9 Ps126:1-6

Heb 5:1-6  Mk 10:46-52

An “oracle of consolation” regarding the restoration of Israel (1,Ps) finds fulfillment in the person of Jesus, our merciful high priest (2). His healing of the blind man (3) witnesses to the inauguration of the kingdom.

 

Today’s psalm says, “The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.” Good stewards demonstrate by their living and giving that they understand God as the Source of all they are and have.

See Psalm 126

 

“I Give You Thanks, O Lord” Isaiah 12:1

 

Your gift to the 2006 Bishop’s Annual Appeal can make a difference!  As an example, Catholic Charities operates in every county of the Diocese, providing social services to thousand of people in need each year.  Your gift helps provide countless services that so many depend on.

 

Our goal is to have every household of our parish participate in the Appeal. Please pray for the success of the Appeal, and let us remember Good’s love for us and the grace and blessings of sharing what we have with others.

“Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, ready to share.” 1 Timothy 6:  17-19

PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS who are sick at home, in the hospital or in nursing homes, especially for John Vanderhoff, Tony Gangitano, Frank Kozden, , David King, Mary Pokotello, John & Peter Foxwell, Haley Weber, Frank Stashak, Blanche Ferarro, Kalman Sipos, Josephine Sarnoski, and Diane Manley.

Bishops’ Teachings for Election Day

As Election Day approaches the US Bishops are taking this opportunity to remind parishioners of their civic duties.

"Some Catholic elected officials have adopted the argument that, while they personally oppose evils like abortion, they cannot force their religious views onto the wider society. This is seriously mistaken on several key counts. First, regarding abortion, the point when human life begins is not a religious belief but a scientific fact -- a fact on which there is clear agreement even among leading abortion advocates. Second, the sanctity of human life is not merely Catholic doctrine but part of humanity's global ethical heritage and our nation's founding principle. Finally, democracy is not served by silence. Most Americans would recognize the contradiction in the statement, "While I am personally opposed to slavery or racism or sexism I cannot force my personal view on the rest of society." Real pluralism depends on people of conviction struggling vigorously to advance their beliefs by every ethical and legal means at their disposal" (US Bishops, Living the Gospel of Life, 1998, n. 24).

George W. Bush, in an airport lobby, noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm. George W. approached the man and inquired, "Aren't you Moses?" The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling. George W. positioned himself more directly in the man's view and asked again, "Aren't you Moses?". The man continued to peruse the ceiling. George W. tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once again, "Aren’t you Moses?" The man finally responded in an irritated voice, "Yes I am"George W. asked him why he was so unfriendly and Moses replied, "The last time I spoke to a Bush I had to spend forty years in the desert.
