WORSHIP AID FOR SEPTEMBER 19-20

Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. (All bow at the following words through “and became man.”) For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the father and the Son, who with the father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. Preparation of the Gifts

May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His holy Church. Sanctus

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Memorial Acclamation

We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. Invitation to Communion

Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Please remain at your seat to receive Holy Communion. The ministers will come to you through the empty row in front of you.

As the minister approaches, please stand if you are able and remove your mask. You are asked to please receive Holy Communion in the hand.

After receiving Communion, you may kneel or be seated and replace your mask.

PARISH NEWS Dear Parishioners, Take a moment to consider — how do you deal with worrisome thoughts, fears, or distractions. There once was a young and rather boastful archery champion who had met no person who came close to his skill as an archer. One day he heard there was an old Zen master who was reputed to be a great archer. The young archer decided to challenge the Zen master to a contest, and the Zen master accepted. When the contest began, the young man demonstrated remarkable technical proficiency when he hit a distant bullseye on his first try. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he split that arrow with his second shot. “There,” he said to the old man, “see if you can match that!” Everyone turned and looked at the Zen master. A hush fell over the vast crowd. Undisturbed by the young man’s display of skill, the master did not draw his bow, but rather motioned for the young archer to follow him up the mountain. The crowd followed. Curious about the old fellow’s intentions, the champion continued following him high into the mountain until they reached a deep chasm spanned by a rather flimsy and shaky log bridge. It was a poor excuse for a bridge, to say the least. Calmly stepping out into the middle of this unsteady and certainly perilous bridge, the old master picked a far away tree as a target, pointed at the tree, drew his bow, and fired a clean, direct hit. As he gracefully stepped back onto the safe ground, he said to the young archer, “Now it is your turn.” Staring with the terror into the seemingly bottomless abyss below, the young man discovered that he could not force himself to step out onto the logs, much less shoot at the target. With one foot on the ground and one foot on the shaky bridge, the young man could do nothing. “You have much skill with your bow,” the master said, sensing his challenger’s predicament. “But, you have little skill with the mind that lets loose the shot.” Are you standing with one foot on solid ground and one foot on the edge of the abyss? What will give you the confidence, the strength, and the steadiness that the old Zen master certainly possessed? What is the source of your confidence and strength? Have a great week!

Love, Fr. Bill

40 Days for Life Campaign Catholic Charities is hosting the ecumenical 40 Days for Life Campaign in Northwest Ohio beginning this Wednesday, September 23, through Sunday, November 1. You can participate in three ways: prayer and fasting, community outreach, and peaceful vigil. You are invited to pray for an hour in front of Capi-tal Care Network abortion clinic (1160 West Sylvania Avenue). To sign up for daily prayer intentions, hours of prayer, and event information, visit their special website at www.40daysforlife.com/toledo. Since the international 40 Days for Life Campaign began in 2007, over 1 million volunteers in over 61 nations have stood in prayerful wit-ness at abortion clinics to witness to the dignity of human life. Through these prayerful campaigns, 17,226 lives have been saved, 206 abortion workers have quit their positions, and 107 abortion facilities have shut down! For more information, call Peter Range at 419-214-4933, e-mail him at [email protected] or e-mail Veron-ica Leguire at [email protected].

Parish Nurse Tip of the Week Back Pain

This month we have talked about what causes back pain and what are the risk factors of back pain. Let us look at how we can avoid these problems which can severely limit the way we live:

Maintain proper weight and form good posture habits.

Wearing shoes that support your feet is important as is comfortable clothing that allows you to move about as needed.

Keeping an active lifestyle by regular exercise. Yoga is especially good for stretching our muscles. Walk-ing improves circulation, helps maintain good bone health, strengthens muscles and supports joints.

Avoid heavy lifting. If it is part of your job function, learn the best way to lift without injuring your back such as using your leg muscles instead of your back. Carrying a heavy purse, backpack, or briefcase over your shoulder can create back pain. Consider ways to balance the weight evenly.

Talk with your primary doctor regarding vitamins (especially calcium supplements) as you age.

Last Call for 2020-2021 Religious Education Registration

Last March our Religious Education Program came to a quick halt due to the pandemic. It left our students miss-ing their religious education. As you know, school dis-tricts around our area have been preparing for in-person, distance learning, and some adopting a hybrid model. In preparing for this year, one of our key concerns was try-ing to provide a consistent religious education model, es-pecially since we simply do not know what the coming months will bring. We hope and pray for good things.

Because of these challenges, we have researched online, home-based programs for Religious Education. We feel this is going to be the best option this year for our families given the uncertainty of the next few months. The pro-gram we have chosen is called Family Formation.

Our first Sunday will be October 4, and it will be a virtual experience via Zoom. Instructions will be given for the lessons in October to be completed by your family over the following three weeks. While we know this may pre-sent challenges for some families, we feel this is going to be the best solution this year for our students to receive a consistent religious education.

There are two Information Nights about this program — Sunday, September 20, and Wednesday, September 23. Both begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Basil Goes Activities Building and will last no longer than one hour. Please use the link below to sign up for which session you will attend. If neither work, please let Sandi Trabbic know as soon as possible. The program fee is $85 per family (not per child) payable by check at your information night.

To preview the program, visit www.familyformation.net/why-family-formation

To register for the program, visit https://forms.gle/scn19m9YQpBw7oFo9

To sign up for an Information Night, visit https://bit.ly/3lnKFIo

We look forward to an exciting year of trying something new. And, we appreciate your patience and cooperation. For more information, e-mail Sandi Trabbic, Catechetical Leader, at [email protected] or call her at 419-475-4348, ext. 131.

Week Three — September 20-26

Pray

Make a Holy Hour in our Narthex on Monday, September 21, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., during our weekly Eucharistic Adoration. There is no one way to make a Holy Hour, but your Holy Hour could include:

Still Your Body and Mind — Take a deep breath and transition into a time for prayer. Try to leave your daily to-do list and anxieties behind.

Acknowledge Jesus — Affirm your belief that He is present under the appearance of bread. Make a thoughtful recitation of the Creed.

Speak to Jesus Heart-to-Heart — Tell Jesus what is happening in your life — your hopes, joys, and wor-ries — in the same way you would talk to a spouse or your closest friend.

Listen — Let God speak to you.

Read

Read the daily readings or the Gospel for the day. Visit bible.usccb.org to read the daily readings online.

Reflect

How can I become a better disciple?

In addition to learning from the example of the Saints and holy people in our lives, there are so many ways for us to grow in our love for God. The simplest and most funda-mental way is to continually lift our minds and hearts to the Lord in prayer. God has also gifted us with the Sac-raments of the Church, which help us to grow ever closer to Him. In particular, a frequent reception of the Most Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Penance is one of the best things that we can do to strengthen us on our journey toward God. We are also so blessed to be able to know the Word of God through Sacred Scripture, and a frequent reading of the Bible can help us to hear God’s voice in our lives. Never take God’s gifts for granted as we strive to love Him more and more each day.

Life Chain On Sunday, October 4, Christ the King will host the annual Life Chain from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. When you arrive here, kindly register outside the school en-trance near the flagpole. Since 1987, the Life Chain has been a public witness of prayer and repentance, uniting the Church in solidarity against abortion, while boldly standing in the hope of Christ for North America. We hope you will take a couple hours out of your day and join thousands of Christians nationwide, praying along the sides of major highways. This peaceful, family-friendly visual that abortion is wrong, and the Church is opposed to killing preborn children will be a message loudly heard. Stand up for the unborn who are being slaughtered by the thousands every day. Join in and bring your children and grandchildren. When we are judged by God at the end of our life, Jesus will ask you, What did you do to save my little ones? And, you can answer Him, I stood up for life at Christ the King. Please come. God will reward you. For more, call Anthony Kotecki at 419-536-9410.

Whether you’re praying with us in person or remotely, we’re glad you are here to worship with us! For more on our parish, visit www.cktoledo.org.

Since participation in political life is a moral obligation, Catholics need to form their conscience with the mind and heart of the Church on issues of consequence. This outline is the second of eight, which will examine important moral and political issues. This second outline will provide an overview of the issue of abortion.

Abortion

Every single human life is valuable and possesses a dignity beyond our imagination. As 4th century Church Father St. Gregory of Nyssa wrote:

God did not make the heavens in his image, nor the moon, the sun, the beauty of the stars, nor anything else which you can see… You alone are made in the image and likeness of that nature which surpasses all understanding… Nothing in all creation can equal your grandeur. (Kyriaki FitzGerald, Persons in Communion, p. 72)

This is why the Church has unequivocally taught that abortion is an intrinsic evil, which must be opposed. It violates the fifth commandment of ‘thou shalt not kill’ as it destroys an innocent human life. No circumstance warrants any person, let alone a mother of a child, to end the life of another human person. This is why Archbishop Jose Gomez, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) once remarked,

Abortion is not a “Catholic” issue. It is a matter of fundamental human rights. In fact, I believe it is the foundational issue of our time. Because it is so important, the church has spoken clearly about it and believes it is an essential aspect of the Catholic faith. (Today's Catholic, Newspaper of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, 10 October 2008)

Because the opposition to abortion is an essential aspect of the Catholic faith, Catholics cannot support politicians who advocate for abortion or ‘abortion rights.’ While this does not mean Catholics should only care about the abortion issue, it does mean Catholics cannot excuse or dismiss this grave error in judgment concerning politicians political positioning on this issue. As the USCCB has written:

Any politics of human dignity must seriously address issues of racism, poverty, hunger, employment, education, housing, and health care … But being ‘right’ in such matters can never excuse a wrong choice regarding direct attacks on innocent human life. Indeed, the failure to protect and defend life in its most vulnerable stages renders suspect any claims to the ‘rightness’ of positions in other matters affecting the poorest and least powerful of the human community. If we understand the human person as the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit’ — the living house of God — then these latter issues fall logically into place as the crossbeams and walls of that house. All direct attacks on innocent human life, such as abortion and euthanasia, strike at the house’s foundation. These directly and immediately violate the human person’s most fundamental right — the right to life. Neglect of these issues is the equivalent of building our house on sand. Such attacks cannot help but lull the social conscience in ways ultimately destructive of other human rights. (1998 Pastoral Letter of the USCCB, Living the Gospel of Life, 22)

In summation, abortion is not just one issue among many. It is the human rights issue of our time and the preeminent issue of life and importance in this election. As Catholics, it is our duty to protect the most fundamental right of the human person: the right to life. The intentional destruction of innocent human life is intrinsically evil. It must always be opposed.
