Little Rock Bible Study
"James, Peter, and Jude: The Catholic Letters "
The Little Rock Scripture Study has been a part of the St. Joseph’s Adult Enrichment program for several years. The se-
lected study for this Fall covers four New Testament let-ters traditionally known as the Catholic Letters because each is written to strengthen Christian communi-ties scattered across a wide region of the Roman Empire
rather than a specific Christian community. Participants will dis-cover that they contain profound differences as well as intriguing similarities. James is a work of wisdom literature, expounding on the themes of faith and good works, true wisdom, and the need for the rich to care for the poor. First Peter resembles a sermon on baptism. It is filled with moral exhortations about living out one's baptismal promises in a properly upright, faith-filled man-ner, especially in the face of suffering and persecution. Sec-ond Peter contains strong warnings and exhortations to avoid false teachings to maintain proper ethical conduct while awaiting the second coming of Jesus Christ. It shares much of its content with Jude, because of which, Jude is studied in conjunction with Second Peter. This study has 7 sessions, incorporating an intro-ductory session and 6 lessons, beginning on Thursday October 4th in the O’Connell Room at 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm. Session dates are Oct. 4, 11, 18, 25, Nov. 1, 8, & 15. The registration fee of $20 covers the cost of the study guide and CD wrap-up lecture.
Please register by September 10th at the Parish Center. If you have any questions, please contact JoAnn Bello at

Deacon’s Corner Reflections
“THE ROSARY IS THE WEAPON.” —PADRE PIO
From time to time I am approached by parishioners with an idea that each would like shared with others in the parish. I usually try to accommodate such requests, especially if it would be beneficial to all of us. With the approach of the Feast of the Assumption, let me pass along a rather unique (though spiritually enriching) activity for readers to consider. On October 7, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, there will be a campaign to unite the entire nation in prayer. At 4 p.m. eastern time, the Rosary will be said simultaneously throughout the country (and the world) from Maine to Hawaii. I am not sure exactly how it is going to work…if it will be done individually or in groups…but the objective is to have as many people as possible saying the Rosary at the same time. Need some practice? There is the “Novena for Our Nation”, a 54 Day Rosary Novena from August 15 to October 7. You should know there is a very faithful group of parishioners who pray the Rosary each morning prior to the 9 am. Mass. It usually begins around 8:20 am. And if you feel especially nationalistic, each Monday this same group prays the Patriotic Rosary by which all levels and branches of government, civic leaders, and individuals in each of the 50 states are remembered in a special way. It is the hope that this exercise will help our nation, founded on Judeo Christian principles, again value the wisdom of the founding fathers. Stay tuned for more information
I served as chaplain in the aftermath of 9/11 and ministered to the survivors of many who were lost there. I hope this poem will strike your heart as it does mine. ~ Deacon John
‘MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL’
You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2011. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say ‘Good-Bye.’ I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say. ‘Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..I am ready to go.’ I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn’t coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. ‘I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 5o years!’ I said. ‘Of course I will show you the way home-only believe in Me now.’ I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them. I was in Texas, Virginia, California, Michigan, Afghanistan. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name-though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn’t hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; ‘Come to Me… this way… take my hand.” Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there. I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do… However , if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me? Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are ‘ready to go.’ I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. ~GOD
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this op-portunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the follow-
ing:Stop and think and appreciate God’s power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to Him. ‘Yes, I love
my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior. He keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do everything. Christ is my strength.’
Deacon John
