Two thousand years ago before the first Christmas, most religions were designed to keep the gods at a safe distance. In those times, pagan religions conceived of the gods as powerful, unpredictable, and dangerous. Your best bet was to lay low and hope the gods didn't notice you. Because if they did, they would invariably cause trouble. But when Jesus Christ came to earth, He revealed to us the truth about God. And the truth is that God is not some kind of divine ogre. The truth is that God is on our side. He is our Father. He created us, redeemed us, and is lovingly interested in everything we do. Today's Second Reading reminds us of the undeniable proof that this is the case: the incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God Himself, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, chose to become man in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He chose to become our brother and to share in the sufferings that we all experience in this fallen world. He chose to walk by our sides. Look, for example, at the conversation He has with the Pharisees in today’s Gospel passage. He patiently discusses with them a point of theology. He lowers himself to their level, trying to get them to understand God’s plan for their lives, for marriage, for the family. What humility! What goodness He shows in giving those hypocrites so much attention! Jesus doesn’t come into our world to make our lives miserable, to cause us trouble, to condemn us. He comes to save us, to offer us His friendship, a friendship that will give us hope, wisdom, mercy, joy, and the key to everlasting life. That's the kind of God we have gathered today to worship; that's the kind of Lord we follow.

NOTABLE QUOTABLE: O SUNS and skies and clouds of June, And flowers

of June together, Ye cannot rival for one hour October’s bright blue weather; (First verse of

poem by Helen Hunt Jackson –1830-1885)

To Everyone at St. Mary's Parish, This is my last 'Take Note' article as I am retiring today from the position of St. Mary's Liturgical Music Director after 27 years of ministry. While I am happy to be able to spend more time with my family - and our first grandbaby - IT'S A GIRL! - coming in March, I will deeply miss my work in music and all the friends Joe and I have made. It has been a long, very busy, but enjoyable 'ride' since the opening of our Church in 1991. But now it's time to sit back and enjoy this next journey in my life. When I was initially hired by Pastor Father Al Kirk, my main job and goal was to bring the whole congregation to full, conscious, and active participation in the liturgies. After closely listening to all of you these past several weeks, I feel I have achieved that goal. And that is a CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! It has been a blessing to have had so many wonderfully gifted members in my Adult + Midnight Mass Choirs, Youth Choirs, Hand Bell Choirs, and Children's Christmas Choirs over all these years. A very special THANK YOU to all Choir Members and Instrumentalists for sharing your time and talent with me and St. Mary's Parish. And a VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Nancy McMahon who has been here putting up with me these last 16 years! You are a 'God-send! The friendships, acquaintances, and memories we have made will last forever. I love all of you and wish God's blessings on you. It will be a pleasure to stay in touch. Thank you once again!

Sincerely, Pam Haynes

wombs. Comfort their mothers and fathers during the time that they are growing and developing. Lord Jesus, give these smallest of persons the strength to come into this world, to fully participate in your creation. Send your Holy Spirit to infuse their souls with love for you. After long, healthy,

and loving lives, bring them safely home to your heavenly kingdom. Amen.

Come pray the Rosary for our nation and for the Church this Sunday, October 7 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Mary’s in the church.

Now is the time to call upon God, through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary, to heal our country and return it to holiness. This is a nationwide prayer campaign called the “Novena for Our Nation.” Catholics and people of faith from around the nation are encouraged to join ranks as, united, we pray the Rosary on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7 at the same hour throughout the nation. (3:00 p.m. CT) We are in a Spiritual Battle. In this centennial year of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima, we are called upon to help turn our country back towards God. We will accomplish that through prayer; prayer that can change hearts, change families, change our parishes and change our country. There is no stronger weapon in this Spiritual Battle than the Rosary.
