Annual Blessing of Pets October 7th 11:00 am
O n October 7th, we will celebrate the Feast of St.
Francis of Assisi. We admire the life of an ordinary man who was open to God's call to minister to the least of his sisters and brothers in an extraordinary way. His vision attracted others to follow him, not only in his day but throughout the centuries.
In the Catholic Church we find a rich variety of spiritualties. We speak, for instance, of “Benedictine spirituality”, “Dominican spirituality”, “Augustinian spirituality”, or “Franciscan spirituality” to name just a few.
Each spirituality has its origin in the life of a sincere man or woman who seeks a path to God that is suited to their culture, pursuits and personalities. These paths provide for us today a unique system of beliefs, virtues, ideals and principles which form a particular way to approach God and, therefore, a vision towards creation and a pattern for life.
All these spiritualties arise from the same Christian heritage and they all aim at the same goal – to love as Jesus loved. The difference is a matter of emphasis. These differences in emphasis give each its unique character trait. Franciscan spirituality, for instance, is deeply rooted in Trinitarian theology. The humility and poverty of God becoming human in Christ inspired Francis in his compassion for the poor and his unique appreciation for all God’s creatures, great and small.
We celebrate this feast as an opportunity to renew our commitment to each other, especially in our efforts to assist the poor and the innocent victims of human neglect. We renew our pledge towards working for peace, respecting the gift of life, and restoring the fragile balance of the environment. May the Lord guide us through the example of St. Francis!
B lessed are you, Lord, Author of all living things. On the fifth and sixth days of creation, you called
forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You gave human beings the responsibility to name them and the wisdom to know their service. You inspired St. Francis in a special way to call the animals his sisters and brothers. From among all creatures, you have given us the gift of our dear and beloved pets. We ask you to bless and watch over those whom you have entrusted to our care. Keep them safe, in good health, and guard them against harm. Through your gracious love, enable our pets to live according to your plan. May we praise you and thank you for your gifts in creation. Blessed are you, O Lord, and may all your creatures praise you, now and forever. ~Amen.
Eucharistic Adoration Friday, October 6th
E ucharistic Adoration is a cornerstone of our faith. The
Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the Eucharist as “The Source and Summit of the Christian Life”. CCC1324 That is to say that all other Sacraments, works of charity, and prayer, both flow from and point towards Christ truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. So many of our Church’s great saints including St. Theresa of Calcutta and Pope St. John Paul II point towards spending time before Jesus in the Eucharist as indispensable to a life of prayer. It is with this in mind, that we will continue adoration on the first Friday of each month. Please plan to spend some time with Jesus. Since we must make sure that when the Eucharist is exposed in the Chapel that someone will always be there, we will continue to put out sign-up sheets for people who can commit to an hour. If you cannot commit to an hour, do not let that dissuade you from coming by whenever you are able. Also, don’t forget that the Chapel is open each and every day for prayer before Jesus in the tabernacle from 9am daily Mass till 3pm.
Please join us in the St. John the Beloved Chapel from 10am-8pm on October 6th, November 3rd and December 1st.
All are Welcome!

Scripture Reflection
S t. Paul offers a formula for living the way we are supposed to live
as Christians in the Second Reading. Paul writes, “Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves.” Doing that is a challenge for most all of us. Yet, that is one of the secrets to being a good steward and living as Christ wants us to live.
To truly live that way requires a dramatic conversion. All of us know people who are so self-centered that they often are not even aware that they are totally unwilling to compromise or to even recognize the value of those around them. Achieving this kind of self awareness, of what kind of a person we are, is a significant step on our faith and life journeys.
Screenwriter and playwright William Nicholson once wrote, “God does not necessarily want us to be happy. He wants us to be lovable, worthy of love, able to be loved by Him. What makes people hard to love? It is called selfishness. Selfish people are hard to love, because so little love comes out of them.”
That is our challenge, to love others in such a way that we become lovable as well. Christ told us over and over that the secret to being His disciple and the secret to being a good steward is to “Love your neighbor.” That is how to be the kind of person Paul calls us to be as well.
