Please have a great Halloween and be safe when going out and crossing the streets or be careful at the parties

you attend. Remember to treat others as you want to be treated. Get those flashlights checked and be ready to

party and enjoy a night of fun.

An “oracle of consolation” regarding the restoration of Israel finds its fulfillment in

the person of Jesus, our merciful high priest. His healing of the blind man witnesses

to the inauguration of the kingdom.

be offered (some times are not allowed).

Please just email the office and request which Mass and who it will be for. Please put

The apostles twice saw Jesus multiply the loaves and the fish, buy they did not

see the significance of these miracles. In His frustration, Jesus exclaimed to

them: “Do you still not see or comprehend? Are your minds completely

blinded? Have you eyes but no sight?” (Mk 8:17-18) The apostles were spiri-

tually blind not only to the significance of Jesus’ miracles, but also to the sig-

nificance of Jesus Himself. They were blind to the necessity of the cross (see

Mk 8:31-33).

Jesus tried to begin to correct the apostles’ vision by means of His Transfigura-

tion before three apostles (see Mk 9:2ff). This did not succeed, as the apostles

continued to be blinded to the Lord’s revelations of the cross (see Mk 9:31-32).

Next, the Lord healed the blind Bartimaeus physically. He hoped that the

apostles might learn from Bartimaeus to pray: “Rabboni, I want to see” (see Mk 10:51). However, that did-

n't work either. Even Jesus’ crucifixion, death, and resurrection didn’t open the apostles’ eyes. Finally, two

disciples’ eyes were opened in the breaking of the bread on the afternoon of Jesus’ resurrection (Lk 24:31).

Then, with the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, many eyes were opened.

Jesus’ disciples finally saw the significance of Jesus’ Transfiguration and the healing of blind Bartimaeus.

The disciples saw the need to pray: “I want to see” (Mk 10:51), and the Church was born.

“I want to see.” ~ Mark 10:51

Basic Information Regarding the Sacraments

Holy Eucharist We truly believe in the Body and Blood of Christ that was broken and shed for us! We ask that you be in good standings with the Lord as you join us every Mass for Holy Eucharist. All are Welcome to His table!! “Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life … For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains

in me, and I in him … so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.’”

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and inerrant in the original writings. We

believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our

Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed

blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and

glory.

We believe that the lost and sinful man must be saved, and that man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of

Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe in and practice the holy ordinance of water baptism, which signifies the believer's

death, burial, and resurrection into new life with Christ Jesus, and the regular celebration of Holy Communion as commanded

by our Lord.

We believe in the present ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the

unsaved; those that are saved into the resurrection of life and those that are unsaved into the resurrection of death.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Belief

Have you every wonder how we become heirs of God? What does it take to be the best of the best within our relationship be-

tween God, but always between our parents?

Youth4Jesus is forming a Bible Study that changes with the current times but always allows you as Teens to express and teach each other while learning more about Christ and the relationship He wants you to have.

Youth4Jesus is for middle school right now. We are forming this group and would love the have about 10 teens to start the group, please contact the Parish Office for more information please.

Theme: “Christianity 101: Heirs of God” “And if children, then heirs —

heirs

of God and fellow heirs with Christ,

provided we suffer with him in order

that we may also be glorified with

him.” (Romans 8:17)

Hell And Purgatory Still Exist

Contrary to the belief of many Catholics, the Church still teaches that “the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin, descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, eternal fire”

(CCC 1035) Furthermore, “all who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation, but after death they undergo purification, so to

achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.” (CCC 1030) This purification process, formally declared by the Church at the Councils of Florence and Trent, is known as Purgatory.

REMEMBERING OUR LOVED ONES

By tradition, the Catholic Church dedicates the month of November to the Holy

Souls in Purgatory, those faithful Christians who have died and gone before us

but who still must atone for their sins. The time they spend in Purgatory cleanses

them so that they may enter Heaven free from all effects of sin.

Praying for the dead, especially for those we have known, is part of Christian

charity. Our own prayers and sacrifices can be offered up to relieve their suffer-

ing. The parish will offer over 40 Masses this November for all the faithfully departed whose names are writ-

ten in the Book of Memory. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to pray for and remember your parents,

children, grandparents, family and friends. Donations are welcomed for your sacrificial offering to pray for

the deceased.

Year of Faith Prayer

May this Year of Faith be a year

to help me appreciate the gift of

faith, deepen my relationship

with God, and strengthen my

commitment to sharing faith

with others.

May I recognize the face of

Christ in those who are

suffering, and help them

along the journey of life.

May I not grow lazy in the faith.

My I be enlightened in mind, and

heart by the word of the Lord.

May I be capable of opening the

hearts and minds of many to the

desire of God, and for true life,

life without end. Amen.

October is Respect Life Month

& 40 Days for Life

Nurturing a Culture of Life requires us to be de-

liberate in our daily and lifetime choices. To

build this life giving culture, we have to pray-up,

show-up and speak up with a kind and

strong presence. Let us plead with God to fill

every heart with a full consent to His beautiful

gift: Life.

Please pray and speak up for those who’s voices

are too quiet to be heard in our busy culture.

We gather to understand our life and where God is calling us! Am I meant to be

a part of St. Maximilian Kolbe? Will this help me in my life, how can I share

about my faith with others?, family? Then this group will help you answer many

of those questions! If your unhappy with the parish you are with or unsure where

God wants you in His plan, please call or email us and allow us to help you.

“Rice” Rite of Christian Education

30th Sunday of Ordinary Time ~ Year B Page 9

Catholics make the sign of the cross because it is a brief profession of the Christian faith, which we received from the

Apostles. “Through the Sign of the Cross we place ourselves under the protection of the Triune God.” (CCC 2157)

As often as we make the sign of the cross in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we are

saying that we believe in God, a Trinity of three persons, and the Redemption of the Cross. Calling on God by name

sanctifies (blesses) the things we set out to do. It obtains for us blessings and strengthens us in difficulties and temp-

tations. St. Cyril of Jerusalem taught the sign of the cross as a strong public witness of faith. He said,

“Let us not be ashamed to profess the Crucified One; let us confidently seal our forehead with our fingers, let us make the sign of the cross on everything, on the bread we eat and over the cup we drink. Let us make this sign as we come

and go, before sleeping, when we lie down and when we arise, while traveling and while resting.”

When we make the sign of the cross, we are reminding ourselves of the purpose of the cross, remembering the price

that was paid. Our Lord calls it, in Matthew 24:30, “The Sign of the Son of Man.” St. John Chrysostom said,

“When, therefore, you sign yourself, think of the purpose of the cross, and quench any anger and all other passions.

Consider the price that has been paid for you.”

The sign of the cross is our signature of faith. When we sign our name on a document or email, it tells others who we

are. Likewise, making the sign of the cross shows who we are as Catholics.

Pastor’s Notes

Why can’t we see what we can’t see? Understanding the mystery behind the words of Christ

and the story He is trying to share is beyond our own mind. We tend to feel that we are more

then Christ, we want to let Him in our live to a point and yet we only allow Him a small frac-

tion of our time in our busy world. What who’s world?

As we continue this week lets remind ourselves that Christ is in control of our world and our

lives. Allow—the prayers of our work be blessed and song to the Heavens. Remember the

Souls of our past and the Saints that stood up for Christ and pray to them.

The "Cards of the Deck" is a social club that we are forming right now by taken person’s

information so we can plan a date for this group to meet. Anyone who is 50 years old or

older is welcome to join us. We play bingo, cards, games, and enjoy each others’ com-

pany. Our plan for this group is to meet with our first meeting as a business meeting fol-

lowed by bingo and then cards.

Then the second meeting we celebrate the birthdays of our members during that month and then play cards and so-

cialize. Then the third meeting we have a potluck where all the members bring a dish. After the potluck we play

cards and socialize. The fourth meeting will be a Mass and offer any prayers and then play games.

When there are five weeks in a month the Mass and prayers are scheduled for that day rather than the fourth Thurs-

day. If you are seeking companionship and want to meet new people, Please email the Parish Office if you would

like to be added to the list and be informed of all the dates and when this Ministry will start.
