29th Sunday in Ordinary Time October 22, 2017
Mr. Cleveland Stroud had coached the basketball team, the Blue Collar Bulldogs, of Rockdale County High School (Conyers, Georgia, U.S.A.), for 18 years before his team made it to the state championship. Stroud recalls, “It was the perfect night when they won, a night you dream of." He was carried around the gym on the shoulders of his triumphant players and their proud parents. The local paper put his picture on the front page. But the excitement was short-lived.
Two months after the championship, during a routine grade check, Stroud discovered that one player had been academical-ly ineligible. The player had only played 45 seconds during the regional qualifying tournament, and he wasn’t an important player. Stroud says, "I thought it was all ruined. I went through a phase where I was really depressed." He struggled with what to do next. Yet, his commitment to integrity led him to the right decision. "Winning is the most important thing for any coach," he says, "but your principles have to be higher than your goals."
He reported the error to the league and the Bulldogs forfeited their trophy. When the team lamented their loss in the locker room, he told them, "You’ve got to do what is honest, what is right, and what the rules say. That’s how we pay to God what’s His. People forget the scores of basketball games, but they don’t ever forget what you are made of." (In Touch Maga-zine, January 1999).
With trust in Him,
"I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a di-
rect killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself."

“The right to life is the first among human rights.”
~ Pope Francis ~
“A person is a person no matter how small.”
~ Dr. Suess ~
“Abortion is legal because babies can’t vote.”
~ Joseph Bonkowski ~
“All that is required for evil to triumph is for good
people to do nothing.”

A Parent’s Prayer Loving God, You are the giver of all we possess, the source of all of our blessings. We thank you and praise you. Thank you for the gift of our children. Help us to set boundaries for them, and yet encourage them to explore Give us the strength and courage to treat each day as a fresh start.
May our children come to know you, the one true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. May your Holy Spirit
help them to grow in faith, hope, and love, so they may know peace, truth, and goodness. May their ears hear your voice. May their eyes see your presence in all things. May
their lips proclaim your word. May their hearts be your dwelling place. May their hands do works of charity. May
their feet walk in the way of Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord. Amen
A little girl, dressed in her “Sunday best”, was late and running to her
Sunday school class. As she ran, she prayed, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late, Dear God, please don’t let me
be late.” Then she fell.
She got up, dusted herself off and saw that her dress was now dirty and had a little tear. She started running again, still praying, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late.” But this time
she added, “but please don’t push me, either!”

I try my best to live
as God asks, but I make a lot of
mistakes and I don’t always feel God’s
presence. How can I know that God loves
me?
Most people, at one time or another, find themselves asking this
very question. There comes a time in any developing spirituality
and awareness of God when it is necessary to ask the question and
then come to a faith conviction that we are, indeed, loved. When
we ask ourselves the question, “Does God love me?” we are also
asking ourselves, “Do I love me?” It is very hard for the average
person to answer that question, but for those who have a tendency
to dwell on every mistake, even after receiving forgiveness
through the sacrament of reconciliation or who hold themselves to
a standard of perfection, it can be even more difficult. They may
find themselves asking, “How can God love me when I have all of
these thoughts and these feelings? Surely my life is displeasing to
God.” God loved you first. God’s love started everything off. Be-
cause God first loved you, he gave you life. God does love you,
no matter what you have done, and he offers forgiveness and mer-
cy through reconciliation when you are truly sorry. There is noth-
ing you can possibly do to make God stop loving you. When God
loves, he loves for keeps. He will not change. He will always be
faithful in his love for you. That is why the Bible tells us: “God is
love. Adapted from Understanding Scrupulosity

A kindergarten teacher was walking around observ-ing her classroom of chil-
dren while they were drawing pictures. As she got to one girl who was working diligently, she
asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no
one knows what God looks like.”
Without looking up from her drawing, the girl re-
plied, “They will in a minute.”
