********************************************

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Beloved Parish Family In Jesus Our Lord,

The big month of October takes in 2 very meaningful

devotions.

1) The devotion to the Holy Rosary for us

Catholics and some non- Catholics, gets much

attention during this month of October. In

addition to the usual daily prayer of the Rosary,

many churches, holy places and prayer groups

will include processions and special gatherings

for the Rosary prayer. In our time there is a lot

we need to pray for and the Rosary is the best

prayer partner for sure. And so try to go out of

your way a little bit and join in with the daily

rosary and visit some of these extra rosary

events.

You may know that in 1917 our Blessed Mother

taught the 3 shepherd children a special prayer which

She asked to be recited at the end of each decade. This

prayer is called the Fatima Prayer and it goes like this

– O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the

fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially

those in most need of Thy mercy. The words of this

prayer were given to us by Our Lady of Fatima.

2) Also the month of October is called Right to

Life Month. This cause is strongly promoted by

numerous groups of people including

Christians and non- Christians. It is well

accepted that all forms of life from the very

moment of conception in the Mother’s womb

until the final breath of any person of any age

has a Right to Life. A support group called

Right to Life of Northeast Ohio works over

time to teach and provide materials to people of

all ages about the mission to value life. The

messages are very good and many do get it

thanks be to God. Still, however there are many

who do not get it and so the mission goes on so

everyone can understand and make the

difference.

In their newsletter the Right to Life group printed a

quote from Pastor Niemoller which strongly

encourages everyone to get involved in the campaign

for life while we still can and before worse measures

are upon us. If we cannot commit to the value of life

for some, it can happen that there could be a life issue,

some kind of life threat for many of us. All good

people need to know what is right from wrong and they

need to do the right thing for the mission of Right to

Life. The quote for the newsletter for September 25,

2014 is: “First they came for the socialists, and I did

not speak out ---because I was not a socialist. Then

they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak

out ---because I was not a trade unionist. Then they

came for the Jews, and I did not speak out---because

I was not a Jew. Then they came for me ---and there

was no one lift to speak for me.”

The entire month of October is a good time for all of

us to learn and speak out in defense of the life issues

and it is a good time to pray the Holy Rosary for the

intentions of a greater love and respect for life in all its

stages.

"COMMUNITY CASH BACK"

The 2014-2015 Acme "Community Cash Back"

program begins September 18, 2014 and runs

through February 4, 2015 allowing non-profit

organizations to earn 5% CASH BACK on all

purchases of Acme Fresh Market Store Brands, so

let’s get ready to SAVE!! When you buy Acme

brand products, it accumulates cash back for your

organization. We're asking that all parishioners

save their receipts and bring them to church, as our

parish is going to participate in this promotion. All

you have to do is buy Acme brands and bring your

receipts to church. We will have a box in the foyer,

just drop the receipts in the box. Even if you’re not

sure if what you bought is an Acme brand, drop

your receipts in the box in the foyer and we will go

through them for you. Thank you in advance for

your help.
